Abstract

It is known that combustion takes place only incompletely in spark ignition engines; if the fuel were to be burnt completely, said fuel being composed in a known manner essentially of hydrocarbons, the exhaust gases would comprise only carbon dioxide and water vapour. The "star" spark plug with its three ignition electrodes is intended to improve combustion significantly and thus to reduce to a minimum the hazardous materials which are severely environmentally unfriendly. Under some circumstances, the ignition electrodes could be installed at three different points in the combustion chamber of a spark ignition engine, and thus even more complete combustion could be achieved.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine "Sternförmige" Zünd­ kerze für Verbrennungsmotoren nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a "star-shaped" Zünd candle for internal combustion engines according to the generic term of claim 1.

Zweckpurpose

Die "Stern"-Zündkerze für Verbrennungsmotoren soll einerseits die Verbrennung in dem Zylinder verbes­ sern und somit die Umwelt schonen. Es ist bekannt, daß die Verbrennungen im Otto-Motor mit der her­ kömmlichen Zündkerze, unvollständig stattfinden. Außerdem hat die "Stern"-Zündkerze eine längere Lebensdauer.The "star" spark plug for internal combustion engines is said to on the one hand the combustion in the cylinder verbes and thus protect the environment. It is known, that the burns in the Otto engine with the forth conventional spark plug, incomplete take place. In addition, the "star" spark plug has a longer one Lifespan.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Es ist bekannt, daß es z. Zeit Zündkerzen gibt, die nur eine Mittelelektrode und eine Masse­ elektrode haben. Durch die herkömmliche Zündkerze kann der vollständige Verbrennungsvorgang im Zylinder nicht erfolgen. Durch diese unvollständige Verbren­ nung in Otto-Motoren, entstehen Schadstoffe, die - wenn auch in kleinem Prozentsatz - die Umwelt stark belasten. It is known that e.g. Time there are spark plugs which is just a center electrode and a ground have an electrode. With the conventional spark plug can complete the combustion process in the cylinder not done. Because of this incomplete burning In Otto engines, pollutants are generated that - albeit in a small percentage - the environment is strong strain.  

Bei vollständiger Verbrennung des Kraftstoffes würden die Abgase nur aus unschädlichen Stoffen, welche die Umwelt nicht belasten, bestehen.With complete combustion of the fuel the exhaust gases would only be made of harmless substances, which do not pollute the environment exist.

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die unvollständige Verbrennung in Otto-Motoren zu verbessern, und die Schadstoffe auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren.The invention is based, which incomplete combustion in Otto engines too improve, and the pollutants to a minimum to reduce.

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die "Stern"-Zündkerze drei Zündelektroden und drei Masseelektroden aufweist. Der Zündvorgang erfolgt gleichzeitig.According to the invention, this object is achieved by that the "star" spark plug has three ignition electrodes and has three ground electrodes. The ignition process takes place simultaneously.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der ErfindungFurther refinements of the invention

Der Unterschied zwischen der herkömmlichen Zünd­ kerze und der "Stern"-Zündkerze besteht nur darin, daß die "Stern"-Zündkerze statt einer Zündvorrich­ tung, drei Zündvorrichtungen hat.The difference between the conventional Zünd candle and the "star" spark plug is just that the "star" spark plug instead of an ignition device tion, has three igniters.

Erzielbare VorteileAchievable advantages

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß die "Stern"-Zündkerze einen besseren und vollständigeren Verbrennungsvorgang aufweist, als die herkömmliche Zündkerze. Dies beruht darauf, daß die neue Zündkerze drei Zündelektroden hat. Die drei Zündelektroden sind, in einem Winkel von 120° angeordnet. Den Zündelektroden stehen in gleichen Winkel die Masseelektroden gegenüber. The advantages achieved with the invention exist especially in that the "star" spark plug better and more complete combustion process than the conventional spark plug. This is because the new three spark plug Has ignition electrodes. The three ignition electrodes are, in arranged at an angle of 120 °. The ignition electrodes the ground electrodes are at the same angle across from.  

Beschreibungdescription AusführungsbeispielEmbodiment

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigtAn embodiment of the invention is in the Drawing shown and is closer below described. It shows

Fig. 1 stellt den Grundriß der Mittelelektrode dar. Die Mittelelektrode oder Zündelektrode hat an ihrem Ende drei Zündzacken (s. g. "Stern"-Elektro­ den). Die drei Stern-Zacken sind untereinander um 120° versetzt worden und die Sternzacken, von dem Mittelpunkt der Elektrode sind gleich lang. Fig. 1 shows the floor plan of the center electrode. The center electrode or ignition electrode has three ignition prongs at its end (the so-called "star" electrode). The three star points have been offset by 120 ° and the star points from the center of the electrode are of equal length.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Ansicht der Sternelektrode mit ihren Ästen oder Zacken in normaler Größe, ange­ paßt an den Körper die herkömmliche Zündkerze. Fig. 2 shows the view of the star electrode with its branches or spikes in normal size, is fitted to the body of the conventional spark plug.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Grundriß der Masseelektrode auch in ihrer herkömmlichen Größe mit den drei horizontal­ stehenden Masseelektroden (Fig. 3a). Fig. 3 shows the plan of the ground electrode in its conventional size with the three horizontal ground electrodes ( Fig. 3a).

Fig. 4 zeigt die Grundansicht auf die Zündvorrichtungs­ seite. Die drei Masseelektroden sind unter sich auch um 120° versetzt worden, somit stehen sie ganz genau den Zündelektroden gegenüber. Fig. 4 shows the basic view of the igniter side. The three ground electrodes have also been shifted by 120 °, so they are exactly opposite to the ignition electrodes.

Fig. 4a zeigt den Isolator der Zündelektrode. FIG. 4a shows the insulator of the ignition electrode.

Fig. 5 zeigt die Zusammenfügung der "Stern"-Zünd­ kerze. Die Abstände zwischen den Ästen der Zündelek­ trode (Fig. 2) und den vertikalstehenden Masseelektro­ den müssen gleich sein, da sonst die Funken nicht gleichzeitig überspringen würden. Fig. 5 shows the assembly of the "star" spark plug. The distances between the branches of the Zündelek trode ( Fig. 2) and the vertical ground electrodes must be the same, otherwise the sparks would not jump at the same time.
