A kind of ethanol-gasoline flexibly engine fuel spark plug
Technical field
Patent of the present invention relates to automotive engine ignition system technical field, and particularly one is used for ethanol-gasoline flexibly ratio engine spark plug.
Background technology
Spark plug is widely used in the engine of automobile, the function of spark plug is that the high voltage pulse electric energy that ignition coil passes over is discharged, the interelectrode air of disruptive spark plug two, produce electric spark, with the mist in this ignition engine cylinder, promote piston acting and make engine running.The lateral electrode of spark plug is generally bar material, utilize the welding equipment of specialty to be welded on spark-plug body port, and bending metal side electrode is to central electrode upright position, forms ignition gap with central electrode.
Chinese Patent Application No. is 200580007335 disclose a kind of spark plug configuration with metal noble tip, and as shown in Figure 1, cylinder is goed deep in the front end (bottom both in figure) of spark plug body 5, is ignition operation position.It is spark gap between central electrode 2 and lateral electrode 3.Central electrode 2 outside is insulator 4, and insulator 4 outside is metal shell 1.Generally, lateral electrode 3 is that 2 bar materials bend to L shape, is welded on the side of the front port of metal shell 1.As seen from Figure 1, insulator 4 has partial denudation in the axial direction outside metal shell 1.
Although disclose the performance such as high temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant that can improve spark plug to the use of metal noble tip, because heat-energy losses is comparatively large between two electrodes of this technical scheme, the igniting requirement of alcohol-gasoline fuel can not be used for.
Current clean energy resource industrial expansion, the alcohol fuel using biomaterial to produce is more prevalent; Adopt the automobile of alcohol fuel to have good discharge performance, dynamic property and economy because of it, just gradually be familiar with by people and paid attention to.Due to ethanol fuel engine ignition temperature, comparatively petrol engine is high, and alcohol fuel spark plug requires higher to heat dispersion.The heat-flash that during spark plug work, firing tip lateral electrode produces and the heat that engine combustion produces must derive rapidly life-span and the work quality of guarantee spark plug.From to the research of ethanol fuel engine, existing spark plug metal electrode heat-conducting effect is general, easily issues the phenomenon of raw burn erosion in the situation of ethanol combustion, and the reason of ablation, be the poor heat conduction of electrode own.
Meanwhile, due to ethanol---gasoline flexibly engine fuel employs alcohol fuel, and the energy lost during the igniting of its engine is higher, higher to the requirement duty requirements of time of ignition pilot spark.So the structure of spark plug needs to be improved, to meet ethanol---the ignition energy that gasoline flexibly engine fuel time of ignition is higher, ensures reliability requirement under high loads simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
The object of patent of the present invention is; by the improvement to prior art, provide a kind of heat conduction faster and better, can available protecting central electrode; not easily there is the spark plug of spark-plug side electrode ablation phenomen, and the spark plug that energy loss is little when plug ignition.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

The front end face of described metal shell is D1 to noble metal electrode outer face distance on central electrode, the spacing of two noble metal electrode opposing end surfaces is D2, the horizontal component thickness of lateral electrode is D3, and, D1>D3, D2<D3, D3+D2>D1.
The front end face of described metal shell is concordant with the front end face of described insulator.
The front end face of described metal shell is between 1.5mm-3.5mm to noble metal electrode outer face distance D1 on central electrode.
The spacing D2 of two noble metal electrode opposing end surfaces is between 0.6mm-0.9mm.
The horizontal component thickness D3 of lateral electrode is between 1.0mm-1.5mm.
The beneficial effect of the technical program is:
The size of 1, less noble metal electrode, the particularly use of lateral electrode side noble metal electrode, the noble metal electrode of lateral electrode side and central electrode side is measure-alike.The size reducing noble metal electrode effectively can reduce the antiinflammation of engine igniting time, avoids energy during igniting by noble metal electrode excessive consumption.
2, the thickness of spark-plug side electrode is little compared with central electrode length, and the length of lateral electrode changes can reduce the consumption of engine igniting time to ignition energy equally, ensures ethanol---gasoline flexibly engine fuel igniting smooth ignition.
3, the ignition gap of this spark plug is little compared with lateral electrode thickness compared with lateral electrode length, can increase the energy of plug ignition under the prerequisite not promoting engine ignition energy.Central electrode length is less than ignition gap and lateral electrode thickness sum.The overall dimensions conventional engines spark plug of lateral electrode is little, ensure that the heat transfer property of spark-plug side electrode under the large loading condiction of engine.
