Definitions

  • the invention is based on a spark plug connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a spark plug connector is already known which is provided with a tubular connecting piece made of plastic. This is snapped onto the insulating body of the spark plug connector and encloses part of the ignition cable in a force-fitting manner.
  • This connector is preferably used as an assembly aid in cases where the spark plug connector is to be attached to a spark plug located in a long niche.
  • the connector for the plugging and unplugging process of the spark plug connector only fits a specific engine geometry, so that on the one hand the connector has a dimensioned projection to the engine block when plugged in, which still grips the connector for Removal process allows, but on the other hand, the overhang should not be exceeded if possible because of the cramped conditions in the engine compartment, for example, to keep the ignition cable coming out of the connector away from hot parts of the unit.
  • This limited length adjustment of the connector complicates the especially when the engine is still hot Handling of the spark plug connector, so that during maintenance work, the spark plug connector is sometimes pulled off by pulling on the ignition cable with the risk of loss of function of the spark plug connector.
  • the spark plug connector according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that the connector, which rests over part of the length of the ignition cable, has radially directed ribs in this area which form positive connections when the two-part connector is joined to the ignition cable, so that the The ignition cable forms a firm association with the connector.
  • axially directed forces for pulling off the spark plug connector from the spark plug can be applied directly to the ignition cable, without damaging the spark plug connector. This makes it possible to run the connector only in the length that the push-on operation can be carried out. This means that when the spark plug connector is installed, it is not necessary for the connecting piece to protrude beyond the engine block.
  • Another advantage of the configuration according to the invention is that the risk of improper handling of the ignition cable with the impending loss of function of the spark plug connector is avoided even in hot engines.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partial longitudinal section of a spark plug connector with connecting piece and ignition cable
  • FIG. 1a shows a detail from FIG. 1 with parts of the spark plug connector and the connecting piece, rotated by 90 ° with respect to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 2 shows a radial section of the connecting piece along the line II-II
  • FIG. 3 shows a radial section along the line III-III.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 1 of the spark plug connector according to the invention consists essentially of an insulating body 11, in which an ignition cable 12 is inserted and fastened there in a manner known per se and not shown in detail, furthermore from a fixed to the insulating body 11 over a partial length and this enveloping shield part 13 and a sleeve-shaped connecting piece 14 fixed thereon, which comprises a partial section of the insulating body 11, the shielding part 13 and the ignition cable 12.
  • the sleeve-shaped shielding part 13 which extends over its longitudinal extent forms part of a lateral surface 15 of the spark plug connector, projects beyond the insulating body 11 at its spark plug end.
  • the shielding part 13 has a first end section 16, which is used to fix the connector 14, with two peripherally extending projections 17 and two axially extending projections 18.
  • the mutually opposite lugs 17 in the form of convex beads each extend over a partial area of a semicircle; in between, each extends axially over the length of the first end section 16, a single projection 18 with a rectangular cross section.
  • the shoulders 17 are surrounded by an annular groove 19 (shown in FIG. 1a) and the projections 18 by two longitudinal grooves 21, which are fitted in an inner wall 22 of a second end section 20 of the connecting piece 14, and form tongue and groove connections.
  • radially directed ribs 24 are formed, which with the narrow the cross-section of the space enclosed by the inner wall 22.
  • the ribs 24 are circumferential and, axially offset, arranged in three stages.
  • the ribs 24 have a sawtooth-shaped cross section and are inclined towards the second end section 20.
  • the connector 14 contains a groove 26 on the outside in the upper section, into which an elastic sealing element 27 is latched in a form-fitting and non-positive manner, with radially outward-facing circumferential sealing collars 28 which guide and center the spark plug connector when the spark plug connector is inserted into a plug niche, which is no longer shown seal.
  • FIG. 2 shows the connector 14 in a radial section along the line II-II from FIG. 1.
  • the two-part connector 14 is formed from a first half-shell 29 and a second half-shell 31, both half-shells 29, 31 in the illustrated upper section 23 having a plurality of longitudinal, mutually directed abutting surfaces 32, 33 arranged offset over the length of the upper section 23 as Having connecting elements acting pins 34 which can be pressed into correspondingly opposite bores of the other half shell and thereby connect the half shell 29, 31, as shown.
  • the space enclosed by the inner wall 22 and having a circular cross section is narrowed by the ribs 24.
  • Figure 3 shows the connector 14 in a radial section along the line III - III of Figure 1.
  • the connector 14 is also tubular in this area, but has a larger, compared to the upper portion 23 (Figure 1), on the outer diameter of the first End section 16 ( Figure 1) to its circumference matched inner diameter.
  • the two half-shells 29, 31 have on their abutting surfaces 32, 33 protruding in pairs, opposite and axially offset hooks 36 acting as connecting elements, which, as shown, form interlocking when the two half-shells 29, 31 are joined together.
  • the positive, releasable connection of the two half-shells 29, 31 can alternatively also be carried out with other connecting elements having the same effect, for example rivets. Nevertheless, the two half-shells 29, 31 can also be permanently joined together by other types of connection, such as, for example, by gluing or ultrasonic welding.
  • the first half-shell 29 is brought into comparison with the second half-shell 31.
  • the ignition cable 12, the insulating body 11 connected to it and the first end section 16 are arranged between the half-shells 29, 31 so that when the two half-shells 29, 31 are joined together, the projections 17 from the annular groove 19 and the projections 18 from the longitudinal grooves 21 form-fit are, the abutting surfaces 32, 33 come to lie on one another and the positive locking of the two half-shells 29, 31 to form the connecting piece 14 is carried out by means of the connecting elements 34, 36.
  • the ribs 24 arranged on the inner wall 22 are pressed into the insulation of the ignition cable 12 by the joining process of the two half-shells 29, 31 and form positive connections with the latter.
  • the ribs 24 are circumferentially attached in the inner wall 22, but could alternatively also be arranged in a circular segment in circumferential alignment or also axially offset in a circular segment.
  • the ignition cable 12 is connected to the connector 14 and this in turn to the spark plug connector via the shielding part 13 to form a firm association.
  • the previously described association could also be carried out on an unshielded spark plug connector.
  • the inventive design of the connector 14 with the ribs 24 also overcomes the disadvantage that can occur during maintenance work and when removing the spark plug connector on a non-strain-relief ignition cable 12 with the impending loss of function of the spark plug connector.
