- the male screw 3c of the metal shell 3 is screwed into the cylinder head of the diesel engine, whereby the heat generating portion 5a of the heater 5 is positioned in the combustion chamber of the diesel engine. Then, the metal shell 3 is grounded to the cylinder head, while the cap 97 a shown in FIG. 3 is fitted to the pin terminal 10.
- the heater 5 a voltage is applied between the metal shell 3 and the pin terminal 10 and the center shaft 7, and the heating coil 13 causes the heating portion 5 a to generate heat.
- the start of the diesel engine is started.
- the first flange 93c formed on the pin terminal 93 (see FIG. 8) in the conventional glow plug is not formed on the tip end portion of the pin terminal 10 included in the glow plug. Therefore, in this glow plug, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the end face of the tip end of the pin terminal 10, ie, the end face of the tip end of the large diameter portion 10b abuts against the end face of the rear end of the insulator 19. There is. Thereby, the insulator 19 is pressed. Then, in this state, the insulator 19 presses the O-ring 17 at its tip end side.
- the O-ring 17 is elastically deformed in the axial hole 3a, and the O-ring 17 is in close contact with the wall surface of the center shaft 7, the insulator 19 and the axial hole 3a.
- the insulation effect between the center shaft 7 and the metal shell 3 by the O-ring 17 is sufficiently exhibited.

- Length of caulking scheduled portion 10f formed to the same outer diameter and able to be caulked while maintaining compatibility (total axial length ⁇ of caulking scheduled portion 10f corresponding to straight portion of large diameter portion 10b) Is getting longer.
- the center shaft 7 and the pin terminal 10 can be easily firmly connected to each other by the long caulking portion 10f, and it is possible to adopt the shorter center shaft 7 with this glow plug.
- the glow plug provided with the pin terminal 10 realizes the reduction of the material and the weight reduction.
- the length ⁇ of the caulking portion 10g when actually caulking is a length exceeding half of the total axial length ⁇ of the caulking portion 10f. For this reason, in this glow plug, the bonding strength between the center shaft 7 and the pin terminal 10 is smaller than that of a public article (see FIG. 11) in which the length of the caulking portion is half or less of the total axial length of the caulking portion. It demonstrates high and reliable durability.
- the crimped portion 10g is positioned on the tip side of the center in the axial direction of the portion to be crimped 10f. For this reason, in this glow plug, caulking is performed on the pin terminal 10 at a position close to the tip end side of the large diameter portion 10 b. Therefore, in this glow plug, the load on the rear end portion of the center shaft 7 can be reduced, and the durability of the glow plug is further improved.
- the central shaft 7 and the pin terminal 10 are joined with high bonding strength to exhibit excellent durability, and material reduction and weight reduction can be realized.
- the tip end face of the large diameter portion 10b of the pin terminal 10 has a smaller diameter than the rear end face of the insulator 19 constituting the glow plug. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the electrical leakage from the pin terminal 10 to the metal shell 3 with high reliability.
- the fitting recess 25 has an inner circumferential surface 251 extending from the front end to the rear end of the large diameter portion 10b, and the inner circumference.

- the upper bottom surface 252 has a tapered shape with a smaller diameter toward the rear end, and the fitting recess 25 has the third depth, so the upper bottom surface 252 is a pin In the inside of the terminal 10, it is located in the location corresponded to the 2nd cylindrical surface 23.
- the thickness around the upper bottom surface 252 is large. Therefore, the upper bottom surface (corresponding to the upper bottom surface 252 of the fitting recess 25) of the third fitting recess 25c is not easily deformed even by plastic deformation when forming the flange 10d, and the upper bottom surface 252 is distorted or the like.
- the plastic deformation of the third work 33 is maximized at the maximum diameter position MP of the flange 10d, it is obtained because the upper bottom surface 252 is located on the tip side of the maximum diameter position MP of the flange 10d.
- the fourth work 34 deformation of the upper bottom surface 252 due to plastic deformation is more difficult to occur.
- the fourth work 34 distortion and wrinkles caused by the distortion are less likely to occur on the upper bottom surface 252, and cleaning fluid and the like during plating are less likely to remain on the upper bottom surface 252.

Therefore, when the pin terminal 10 and the center shaft 7 are assembled, the rear end side of the center shaft 7 is tapered as described above, so that the rear end of the center shaft 7 can be easily inserted into the fitting recess 25. Then, the rear end of the center shaft 7 inserted into the fitting recess 25 reaches the upper bottom surface 252 along the inner peripheral surface 251. Thereby, with the rear end portion of the middle shaft 7 positioned in the upper bottom surface 252, it is possible to preferably couple the middle shaft 7 and the pin terminal 10 with high coupling strength. Therefore, the glow plug is highly durable.
- the depth of the fitting recess 25 is relatively shallow. It is possible to shorten the back end of the For this reason, in this glow plug, it is possible to form the entire center shaft 7 short, and it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the glow plug. In this way, even if the depth of the fitting recess 25 is reduced and the rear end of the center shaft 7 is shortened, as shown in FIG. 10, the length ⁇ of the crimped portion 10g has a sufficient length. Because of this, the coupling strength between the center shaft 7 and the pin terminal 10 is kept high.

- the locked portion 971 of the cap main body 970 has the first disc surface 21a and the tapered surface. It elastically deforms so as to expand along 20 and reaches the convex curved surface 22. Then, the locked portion 971 is elastically deformed so as to further spread along the first arc 22a, and reaches the maximum diameter position MP.
- the engaged portion 971 After passing through the maximum diameter position MP, along the step 22c and the second circular arc 22b, the engaged portion 971 is elastically deformed so as to narrow, and reaches the engaging portion 10e. Then, the locked portion 971 is locked to the second cylindrical surface 23. As described above, since the mounting direction of the cap 97a with respect to the pin terminal 10 and the tapered surface 20 and the first arc 22a are in line with each other, the cap 97a can be easily fitted to the pin terminal 10. .
- the locked portion 971 is disengaged from the second cylindrical surface 23 due to the vibration of the diesel engine and the cap 97a is removed from the pin terminal 10, ie, in the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG.
- the portion 971 is caught on the above-mentioned step 22c and is locked to the step 22c as it is. Therefore, for example, even if the locking by the second cylindrical surface 23 is released and the locked portion 971 is elastically deformed so as to expand along the second arc 22b, the locked portion 971 is in contact with the step 22c. It will be in contact with you. For this reason, the engaged portion 971 can not spread larger than the second arc 22b, and can not reach the first arc 22a side beyond the step 22c.
- the locked portion 971 is locked to the step 22c.
- the cap 97a since the cap 97a is double-locked by the second cylindrical surface 23 and the step 22c, the cap 97a can be fitted to the pin terminal 10 more preferably. It has become.
