Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a glow plug according to the preamble of
Eine solche Glühkerze wird beispielsweise in der DE-A-39 11 831 beschrieben. Diese Glühkerze weist ein Glührohr auf, in dem eine Glühwendel angeordnet ist, die mit einem in einem Kerzengehäuse angeordneten Anschlußbolzen verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung erfolgt durch eine mittige Bohrung im glührohrseiti-gen Ende des Anschlußbolzens, wobei diese Bohrung ein Innengewinde aufweist, in das die Glühwendel, die an ihrem anschlußseitigen Endabschnitt mit einem gegenüber der übrigen Wendel verkleinerten Durchmesser versehen ist, formschlüssig eingeschraubt werden kann.Such a glow plug is described, for example, in DE-A-39 11 831. This glow plug has a glow tube, in which a filament is arranged, which with one in one Candle housing arranged connecting bolt is connected. This Connection is made through a central hole in the glow tube side End of the connecting bolt, this bore is an internal thread has, in which the filament, which is on its connection side End section with a smaller than the rest of the coil Diameter is provided, screwed in a form-fitting manner can be.
DE-A-3825 013 offenbart eine Glühkerze in der die Regelwendel zwei- oder mehrstückig ausgebildet ist, wobei der eine Abschnitt aus an sich bekanntem Regelwendelmaterial und der andere Abschnitt aus einem Material besteht, das ein bestimmtes Widerstandsverhältnis, bezogen auf ein Temperaturverhältnis, und eine sprunghafte Widerstandsänderung in einem bestimmten Temperaturbereich aufweist. Hierdurch wird eine wesentlich verkürzte Aufheizzeit bei gleichzeitig ausreichender Lebensdauer der Glühkerze ermöglicht.DE-A-3825 013 discloses a glow plug in the control coil is formed in two or more pieces, the one section from known helical material and the other Section is made of a material that has a certain resistance ratio, based on a temperature ratio, and a sudden change in resistance in a certain temperature range having. This will significantly shorten the heating-up time with sufficient glow plug service life enables.
Weitere Patentanmeldungen betreffen die thermische Entkopplung zwischen Regel- und Heizwendel, wodurch die Funktion von Glühkerzen weiter verbessert werden soll. Ein Beispiel hierfür sind Glühkerzen gemäß DE-PS 28 02 625. Diese Glühkerze weist ein Glührohr auf, in dem im Spitzenbereich eine Heizwendel und im anschlußseitigen Bereich eine Regelwendel in einem elektrisch isolierenden Stoff angeordnet ist.Other patent applications concern thermal decoupling between control and heating filament, whereby the function of Glow plugs should be further improved. An example of this are glow plugs according to DE-PS 28 02 625. This glow plug has a Glow tube on, in which a heating coil in the tip area and in connection-side area a control coil in an electrical insulating material is arranged.
Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Glühkerzen dieser Gattung weisen den Nachteil auf, daß sie bei Dauerglühen bzw. längerem Glühen im laufenden Motor, das zu umweltverträglicheren Abgasen führt, zu geringe Standfestigkeit aufweisen, um den üblichen Anforderungen an die Standfestigkeit von Glühkerzen zu genügen.The glow plugs known from the prior art Genus have the disadvantage that in the case of continuous annealing or prolonged glow in the running engine, which leads to more environmentally friendly Exhaust gas leads to low stability to the usual requirements for the stability of glow plugs are enough.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, unter Umgehung der im Stand
der Technik aufgezeigten Nachteile eine Glühkerze zur Verfügung
zu stellen, die hohe Standfestigkeit auch bei längerem Nachglühen
aufweist; gleichzeitig soll die bisher erreichbare Vorglühzeit
praktisch eingehalten werden, sowie eine Massenproduktion
in gewohnter Weise und wirtschaftlich wie bisher erfolgen können.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Glühkerze gemäß Anspruch 1
gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben
sich aus den nachfolgenden Ansprüchen 2 bis 11.The object of the invention is to circumvent the in the state
the disadvantages shown in the art, a glow plug is available
to provide the high stability even after prolonged afterglow
having; at the same time, the preheat time that can be achieved so far
are practically adhered to, as well as mass production
can be done in the usual way and economically as before.
This object is achieved by the glow plug according to claim 1
solved. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result
result from the following
Intensive Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß Veränderungen an dem System Heizwendel/Regelwendel, insbesondere auch die vorgeschlagene thermische Entkopplung von Heiz- und Regelwendel nicht zu dem gewünschten Erfolg führen. Vielmehr wurde gefunden, daß ein möglicher Grund für die geringere Standfestigkeit der vorbekannten Glühkerzen darin zu sehen ist, daß die Temperaturverteilung über den Regelwiderstand ungleichmäßig ist, so daß sich örtliche Überhitzungen bilden, an denen sich zusätzlicher Energieumsatz konzentriert, wodurch eine weitere Temperaturerhöhung erfolgt und zu erhöhtem Verschleiß bzw. zum Abbrennen des Regel-Widerstands führt. Eine erfindungsgemäße Ursache dafür wurde in dem Umstand gefunden, daß im Bereich der Regelwendel, der am Innenpol der Glühkerze angeschlossen ist, der Innenpol diesen Bereich kühlt. Hierdurch entsteht nicht nur eine ungleichmäßige Temperaturverteilung über die Regelwendel; hinzu kommt, daß der kühlere Bereich niedrigohmiger bleibt und zur Abregelung des Glühkerzenstroms weniger beiträgt, als theoretisch bei "ungestörtem" Erwärmen dieses Regelwendelbereichs erfolgen würde.Intensive research has shown changes on the heating coil / control coil system, especially the Proposed thermal decoupling of the heating and control coil do not lead to the desired success. Rather, it was found that a possible reason for the lower stability of the previously known glow plugs can be seen in that the temperature distribution is uneven across the rheostat, so that local overheating forms, on which additional Energy turnover is concentrated, causing a further temperature increase takes place and to increased wear or to burn off the Control resistance leads. A cause for this according to the invention was found in the fact that in the area of the control coil, which is connected to the inner pole of the glow plug, the inner pole cools this area. This not only creates an uneven Temperature distribution via the control coil; added comes that the cooler area remains low impedance and Reduction of the glow plug current contributes less than theoretically with "undisturbed" heating of this control spiral area would be done.
Die Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe wird demnach darin gesehen, das System Innenpol/Übergang Innenpol-Regelwendel/Regelwendel derart zu gestalten, daß der nachteilige Kühleffekt durch den Innenpol minimiert wird, wobei gleichzeitig die anderen oben aufgeführten Anforderungen an eine Glühkerze erfüllt sein müssen, und wobei die übliche Geometrie von Glührohren bezüglich beispielsweise der Glührohrlänge, Länge und Geometrie der im Glührohr unterzubringenden Heiz- und Regelwendel usw. berücksichtigt werden muß.The solution to the problem according to the invention is accordingly therein seen the system inner pole / transition inner pole control spiral / control spiral to be designed in such a way that the disadvantageous cooling effect is minimized by the inner pole, while the others above requirements for a glow plug are met must be, and being the usual geometry of glow tubes regarding, for example, the glow tube length, length and geometry the heating and control coil etc. to be accommodated in the glow tube must be taken into account.
Demgemäß stellt die vorliegende Erfindung eine Glühkerze mit einem Glührohr zur Verfügung, in dem in der Spitze ein Heizelement angeordnet ist, dem ein Regelelement vorgeschaltet ist, das ebenfalls in dem Glührohr angeordnet ist, wobei das Regelelement aus einem stromleitenden Material mit positiven Temperatur-Widerstandskoeffizienten besteht, und wobei der Innenpol der Glühkerze mit dem Regelelement, das Regelelement mit dem Heizelement und das Heizelement mit der Glührohrspitze in Reihe verbunden sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß zur Minimierung des Wärmeübergangs zwischen Regelelement und Innenpol der Wendelbereich einen Windungsdurchmesser aufweist, der kleiner als der halbe Durchmesser der Windungen der Regelwendel ist.Accordingly, the present invention provides a glow plug a glow tube is available, in which a heating element in the tip is arranged upstream of which a control element is, which is also arranged in the glow tube, the Control element made of a conductive material with positive Temperature resistance coefficient exists, and where the Inner pole of the glow plug with the control element, the control element with the heating element and the heating element with the glow tube tip are connected in series, characterized in that that to minimize heat transfer between the control element and the inner pole of the helical region has a winding diameter has less than half the diameter of the turns is the rule spiral.
Die Erfindung wird anhand der folgenden Figuren näher erläutert.
Der Heizstab gemäß Fig. 1 besteht in an sich bekannter
Weise aus dem Rohr 7, in dem die Heizwendel 1, die Regelwendel
2, der Innenpol 4 und der Abdichtring (O - Ring) in elektrisch
isolierendem Material (z.B. MgO) angeordnet sind. Die erfindungsgemäße
Entkopplung zwischen dem eigentlichen Regelwendelbereich
2 (mit Windungen größeren Durchmessers) und dem Innenpol 4
erfolgt über den Wendelbereich 3 (mit kleinerem Windungsdurchmesser).1 is known per se
Way from the
Die Drahtlänge des Bereiches 3 entspricht bevorzugt etwa 1/10 bis
etwa 1/20 der gesamten Drahtlänge des Regelwiderstands bei Raumtemperatur.
Bevorzugt ist die Länge dieses Teils größer als etwa
2,5 bis 4 mm, insbesonders bevorzugt weist es mindestens vier
Windungen auf.The wire length of

Die Abbildung zeigt den Regelwendelbereich 2 (mit größerem Durchmesser) einstückig. Tatsächlich kann er jedoch auch zwei- oder mehrstückig ausgebildet sein, wobei die Unterbereiche jeweils aus verschiedenen Legierungen mit unterschiedlichen Temperatur-Widerstands-Koeffizienten bestehen können.The illustration shows the control spiral area 2 (with a larger one Diameter) in one piece. In fact, it can or be formed in several pieces, the sub-areas in each case made of different alloys with different temperature resistance coefficients can exist.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist besonders vorteilhaft in dem Fall, in dem Regelwendeln mit hohen Temperatur-Widerstands-Koeffizienten verwendet werden, bei denen beispielsweise das Widerstandsverhältnis des Widerstandes bei 20° C/1.000° C größer als etwa 7,5 ist (bei >12 wird es extrem kritisch); insbesondere gilt dieses auch für Regelwendeln aus Materialien, die nicht einen kontinuierlichen sondern einen sprunghaften Anstieg des Widerstands aufweisen, wie es beispielsweise in den Anmeldungen DE-A-38 25 013 und 39 23 582 beschrieben wird. Unter diesen Umständen sind die erfindungsgemäßen Glühkerzen bei Dauerglühen bzw. längerem Glühen im laufenden Motor besonders geeignet.The solution according to the invention is particularly advantageous in the case where control coils with high temperature-resistance coefficients are used, for example where Resistance ratio of resistance greater at 20 ° C / 1,000 ° C than about 7.5 (at> 12 it becomes extremely critical); especially This also applies to control coils made of materials that are not a continuous but a sudden increase in the Have resistance, such as in the applications DE-A-38 25 013 and 39 23 582 is described. Under these Circumstances of the glow plugs according to the invention are permanent or longer glow in the running engine is particularly suitable.
Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 weist einen üblichen Innenpol
4 auf. Besonders bevorzugt ist dieser Innenpol 4 aus
einem den Strom leitenden, schlecht wärmeleitenden Material
hergestellt. Als Beispiel sei ein Stahl mit höherem Cr-Ni-Anteil
genannt, der wie auch andere dem Durchschnittsfachmann auf dem
Legierungsgebiet leicht zugänglich ist. Da er zusätzlich durch
seine Zusammensetzung rostgeschützt ist, braucht der Kabelanschluß
(M5-, M4-Gewinde) nicht, wie oft gefordert wird, mit
Rostschutz versehen werden. Als eine besondere Ausführungsform
der Erfindung, die nicht abgebildet ist, besteht demnach der
Innenpol aus einem den Strom leitenden und die Wärme schlecht
leitendem Material. Bei dieser speziellen Ausführungsform kann
auf den Zwischenbereich 3 verzichtet werden (bzw. mit Zwischenbereich
3 zusammen ist Wärmeabführung noch weiter verringerbar).The embodiment according to FIG. 1 has a conventional
Fig. 2 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Glühkerzenausführung, in
der der Glühkerzenstift gemäß Fig. 1 eingebaut ist. Hierbei sind
der Übergangsbereich 3 und der Innenpol 4 durch einen an sich
bekannten "Steckanschluß" 8 mit zusätzlicher Verstemmung miteinander
verbunden.Fig. 2 shows a glow plug design according to the invention, in
which the glow plug pin according to FIG. 1 is installed. Here are
the
Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird deutlich, daß die Regelwendel(n)
2 sich praktisch über ganze Länge auf gleiche Temperatur
aufheizen kann, und daß weder die axial rückfließende Wärme
aus dem Bereich der Heizwendel 7 noch die sich radial von der/den
Regelwendel(n) ausbreitende Wärme zum Glührohr ungleichförmig
abgezogen und die Wärmeabführung zum Innenpol ausreichend
stark behindert wird.In this embodiment it is clear that the control coil (s)
2 are practically the same temperature over their entire length
can heat up, and that neither the axially refluxing heat
from the area of the
Der Übergangsbereich 3 ist bei der Standardausführung der
Erfindung einstückig und aus dem gleichen Material ausgebildet
wie der benachbarte Regelwendelbereich 2. Gemäß erfinderischer
Konzeption kann jedoch dieser Bereich 3 auch aus einem anderen
Material bestehen, als das des sich anschließenden Bereichs der
Regelwendel 2, wobei das Material dieses Bereiches 3 dann zwar
Stromleitfähigkeit, jedoch geringe Wärmeleitfähigkeit aufweisen
soll; derartiges Material und Legierungen sind an sich bekannt
und können beispielsweise auch die Materialien sein, die zuvor
bezüglich des Innenpols beschrieben wurden, wenn dieser geringe
Wärmeleitfähigkeit aufweist.The
Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform beträgt der
Glührohrdurchmesser etwa 6 mm; der Durchmesser der Regelwendel 2
beträgt etwa 3,8 mm und der Durchmesser des Übergangsbereiches 3
etwa 1,8 mm bei einer Regeldrahtstärke von etwa 0,35 mm. Die
Länge des Regeldrahtes insgesamt beträgt 200 bis 220 mm, wobei
die Länge des Regeldrahtes im Bereich 3 etwa 12 mm beträgt.In one embodiment according to the invention, the

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung führt zu dem überraschenden Ergebnis, daß die Maximaltemperatur der Glühstiftspitze bzw. der Heizwendel selbst, bei der das Abregeln einsetzt, erniedrigt wird, so daß einerseits die Vorglühzeit praktisch nicht vermindert, die Lebensdauer unter Nachglühbedingungen jedoch deutlich erhöht wird. The solution according to the invention leads to the surprising Result that the maximum temperature of the glow pencil tip or Heating coil itself, in which the regulation begins, is lowered is so that on the one hand the preheating time is practically not reduced, the service life under afterglow conditions, however, is clear is increased.
