Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a ceramic heater element by which the temperature distribution curve becomes flat. CONSTITUTION:The tip side heater part (U-shaped part) 2a positioned in the tip part of a conductive ceramic body 2 to function as a heater element of a ceramic heater element 1 has a cross-sectional area larger than the intermediate side heater part (both end parts) adjacent to the U-shaped part 2a, and has low electric resistance. Thereby, when an electric current is carried, since a calorific value of both end parts 2b is increased more than that of the U-shaped part 2a, the temperature distribution curve of the respective parts of an insulating ceramic body 3 becomes flat notwithstanding a heat radiating quantity of both end parts 2b is greater than that of the U-shaped part 2a. Thereby, for example, when this ceramic heater element 1 is used in a glow plug or the like, since surface temperatures of the respective parts of the insulating ceramic body 3 are uniformed, an ignition spot (ignitable area) becomes wide, so that stable ignition can be realized.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various ceramic heating elements using a filament of a high melting point metal as a heating element, and various ceramic heating elements having a conductive ceramic exposed at the tip have been proposed. In addition, JP-A-1-31717
No. 0 discloses a ceramic heating element having an all-ceramic structure. That is, this ceramic heating element
A heater made of a conductive ceramic body having a U-shaped cross section is embedded inside an insulating ceramic body having a circular cross section, and the tips of tungsten electrodes embedded in the insulating ceramic body are provided at both ends of the conductive ceramic body. It is connected.

For example, the conductive ceramic body of the above-mentioned ceramic heating element applied to a ceramic glow plug is uniformly mixed with raw materials, molded, and then fired, so that the conductive ceramic body is substantially distributed over the entire length of the current-carrying path. It has a uniform resistivity. Moreover, since the cross-sectional area of the conductive ceramic body is formed to be constant, the conductive ceramic body generates heat almost uniformly over its entire length.

As described above, the conventional conductive ceramic body generates heat almost uniformly over its entire length. However, a portion of the conductive ceramic body embedded in the intermediate portion of the insulating ceramic body (hereinafter, referred to as The tip side heater portion) is a portion of the conductive ceramic body embedded in the tip portion of the insulating ceramic body (hereinafter referred to as the middle side heater portion).
It is easier to radiate heat as compared with the above, and therefore, the intermediate side heater section has a lower temperature than the tip side heater section.

In other words, the intermediate heater section quickly cools to a side opposite to the root portion, that is, the tip portion of the insulating ceramic body having the electrodes by solid heat transfer, and becomes a low temperature. On the other hand, the tip side heater part has a large thermal resistance due to the boundary layer formed because it is in contact with gas (air), and therefore the tip side heater part has a higher temperature than the middle side heater part. It was found (see the dotted line in FIG. 4).

As a result of experiments conducted by the inventors of the present invention, this temperature difference is the largest at the initial stage of energization, and decreases with the passage of time. However, in the glow plug, it is necessary to raise the temperature to the engine startable temperature as soon as possible after energization, and in the ceramic heating element with the temperature gradient as described above, the ignition spot is limited to the tip of the combustion chamber. Because of its narrow size, ignitability may be reduced, and engine startability may be reduced.

According to the present invention, the tip side heater portion located at the tip portion of the conductive ceramic body functioning as a heating wire of the ceramic heating element is larger than the intermediate heater portion adjacent to the tip heater portion. Since it has a cross-sectional area and low electric resistance, the amount of heat generated by the middle side heater section is larger than that of the front side heater section when energized. Despite the larger number, the temperature distribution on each surface of the insulating ceramic body becomes flat. Therefore, for example, when this ceramic heating element is used for a glow plug or the like, the temperature of each part of the surface of the insulating ceramic body becomes uniform, so that the ignition spot (ignitionable region) becomes wide, and stable ignition can be achieved. .

The distance (coating thickness) between the surfaces of the conductive ceramic bodies 2 and 2'and the surface of the insulating ceramic body 3 covering them was about 0.4 mm. In Figure 4,
The temperature distribution after 4 seconds of energization is shown, and FIG. 5 shows the temperature distribution after 8 seconds of energization. These temperatures were measured on the surface of the insulating ceramic body 3. As is clear from FIGS. 4 and 5, it can be seen that the temperature of the conventional product and the product of the present invention gradually increase from the tip, and the temperature decreases in the electrode direction after passing through the maximum temperature portion. However, the temperature of the test product is higher than that of the conventional product, especially at the surface portions of both ends 2b thereof, and the temperature gradient between the U-shaped portion 2a and both ends 2b of the test product is remarkably higher than that of the conventional product. It is flattened.

That is, looking at the temperature difference between the highest temperature part near the tip and the lowest temperature part near the electrodes 4 and 5, the test product is less than half that of the conventional product, and the average value of the temperature of each part also rises dramatically. You can see that In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the reduction rate of the cross-sectional area of both ends 2b is preferably determined so that the surface temperature of each part of both ends 2b is substantially equal to the surface temperature of the U-shaped part 2a. (Modification 1) As shown in FIG. 6, in order to secure the connection between the conductive ceramic body 2 and the electrodes 4 and 5, the cross-sectional area of the connecting portion 2c may be increased. (Modification 2) As shown in FIG. 7, only one side of both ends 2b of the conductive ceramic body 2 may have a narrow cross-sectional area. (Modification 3) Further, as can be seen from the solid lines in FIGS. 4 and 5, the temperature at the lowermost end portion (see FIG. 1) of the tip portion 31 is slightly lower than that at the upper portion (see FIG. 1) of the tip portion 31. . In order to prevent this, the cross-sectional area of the lowermost end of the U-shaped portion 2a can be narrowed to further flatten the temperature distribution.
