Definitions
- the present invention refers to a glow plug for diesel motors of motor vehicles of the type including a tubular metal sheath closed in its tip and having a diameter reduction in conjuction with the closed end, carried out by means of a compression. Said sheath holds an electric resistance element including one or more coils compacted within an insulating powder.
- the electric element is joined, on one side, to the closed sheath end and, on the other side, to the current feeding wire, said element having the aim to glow a part of the sheath near the closed end.
- the reduction of sheath diameter in conjuction with the closed end or glowing side has the aim of accelerating the sheath heating in the above mentioned zone for reducing the motor preheating times.
- the glow plugs having a resistance element formed by two coils joined in series, one of these coils being welded to the closed sheath end and forming the heating coil, and the other coil being joined to the current feeding wire and forming the control coil of the feeding current.
- the sheath section with a reduced diameter surrounds substantially the heating coil and is joined by a connection section, on one side, with the glow plug ogive and, on the opposite side, with the remaining sheath section having a greather diameter.
- the glow plugs having the resistance element formed by a single coil have the sheath section with reduced diameter surrounding the end part heating the coil.
- the temperature along the whole coil surrounded by the conical swaged sheath becomes uniform, as the thickness increase of the swaged sheath wall corresponds to a reduction of powder thickness included between sheath and coil, with the advantage of avoiding the formation of critical points along the coil filament, that is points submitted to overheating and therefore to breackage due to fusion.
- the sheath reliability is increased with following longer duration of the glow plug.
- the conical swaging makes better the configuration of the closed end of the same sheath with the advantage of getting a better turbolence into the combustion chamber or prechamber with following reduction of gas oil consumptions and exhaust gases.
- a tubular metal sheath closed in its tip in which it is inserted a resistance element S welded, on one side, to the closed end K1 of the sheath and, on the other side, to the current feeding wire (not represented).
- the resistance element S is formed by a coil embedded in a compacted insulating powder, such as MgO.
- the powder is usually compacted by means of a cylindrical hammering made onto the sheath after the welding of the coil S into the ogive K1 and the following introduction of the insulating powder into the sheath.
- the Figure 2 shows the sheath with two cylindrical sections G1 and G2, the end section G2 having a minor diameter and connected by a connection section, on one side, to the sheath section with greather diameter G1 and, on the opposite side, to the ogive K2.
- the thickness of the sheath part with reduced diameter is not kept constant along the whole section G2 and with value equal to the initial thickness of the sheath G1, but this thickness is reduced and, in particular, in conjuction with the connection section included between the two cylindrical sections G1, G2, it passes indicatively from the value a to the value a' lower than a , forming so a critical annular zone that is subject to a quick wear due to the thermochemical erosion.
- the heating sheath according to the invention shown in Figures 3 and 4c has the closed sheath end ending with a conical swaging G3 made by means of a compression or squashing suitable for causing a mechanical deformation both in radial and axial direction onto the interested sheath part.
- the swaging interests an initially cylindrical section of the sheath G1 indicatively represented by TC, and an end section indicatively represented by TE slightly shorter than the whole length L of the original hemispheric part (ogive) of Figure 1. Therefore the sheath according to the invention has the hemispheric end part K3 practically reduced in the bottom thereof.
- the conical swaging it is got an increasing thickness of the wall of swaged sheath G3 and a temperature uniformity for the whole length of the coil section S surrounded by the swaged sheath G3.
- the thickness of the sheath G3 increases from the value b that is the initial value of the cylindrical section G1 to the value b' greather than b , that is the value of the sheath end G3.
- a swaged sheath part having a resistance to the thermochemical erosion more and more increasing as the sheath protrudes more to the inside of the combustion chamber or prechamber, where the temperatures are higher, and also a greather resistance to the erosion caused by the heating of coil during the feeding phase or during the preheating phase of the glow plug.
- the thickness of the swaged sheath G3 increases linearly when moving towards the sheath tip.
- the temperature uniformity of the coil is obtained as the increase of the thickness of swaged part G3 corresponds to a reduction of the distance between the coil and the sheath, as indicated in Figure 3, where t indicates the powder thickness in the connection zone between G1 and G3 and t' , inferior than t , indicates the thickness in conjuction with the sheath end.
- the reference M indicates the hammers and the reference AR indicates a mechanical stop or sensor, installed in prefixed axial position, that establishes the length T of the swaging, as indicated in Figures 3 and 4c.
- the horizontal and vertical arrows of Figure 4a-b indicate respectively the radial ahead and back movement of the hammers and the progress of the sheath downwards. Then the conical compaction is obtained starting from the ogive tip towards the cylindrical part G1 of the sheath.
- the swaging length T interests, as said, a wide part TE of the initial length L of the ogive and further is extended also to a certain cylindrical section TC of the sheath, also this section being exposed to the thermochemical erosion with the aim of increasing its thickness.
- T is approximatively 2L and TE is approximatively 2/3 L.
- the thickness b' of the swaged sheath part G3 is normally 25-30% greather than the thickness b of the sheath before the conical compaction operation is made.
- the swaged sheath part substantially shows the form of a truncated cone and the amplitude ⁇ of the cone angle changes according to different parameters, as for example:
- the invention was described with reference to a glow plug in which the resistance element S is formed by a coil S, but it is clear that the invention can be applied also to glow plugs in which the element S is formed by two or more coils connected with one another.
- the conical compaction is obtained starting from the hemispheric ogive tip towards the cylindrical part of the sheath and occurs after the sheath has reached the cylindrical compaction on its whole length, while the resistance element and the insulating powder are already embedded within the same sheath.
