この発明は、特に小型スパークプラグにおける中心電極
の改良に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to improvements in center electrodes, particularly in small spark plugs.
(従来の技術)
従来、内燃機関が高速作動をするに従い、スノく−クプ
ラグにもその条件に十分に耐えられるものが要求され、
特に耐熱性(熱価)を高めるために中心電極の熱引きを
良くしたものを必要とすることとなって、その結果、点
火プラグの中心電極として中心芯部を鋼材とし、外周部

合中軸が、上記条件を満足するものとして用いられてき
たものである。(Prior Art) Conventionally, as internal combustion engines operate at higher speeds, it has been required that snow-cup plugs be able to withstand these conditions.
In particular, in order to increase heat resistance (thermal value), a center electrode with good heat dissipation was required, and as a result, the center electrode of the spark plug was made of steel, and the outer periphery was made of nickel alloy. So-called composite central electrodes or composite central shafts have been used as satisfying the above conditions.
(発明が解決しようとする問題点)
しかしながら、スパークプラグの小型化に伴い、中心電
極の中軸の径長も細くなシ、複合体としての中心電極の
塑性加工等が困難になるものである。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, as spark plugs become smaller, the diameter of the central axis of the center electrode also becomes thinner, making it difficult to plastically process the center electrode as a composite body.
すなわち、中心電極の中軸径長が1.8咽までは加工が
可能であるが、量産が困難となシ、均質でしかも安価な
中心電極の製造は不可能となるものである。その上、点
火プラグ自体のネジ径長が10n以下特に81111に
なると、中心電極の中軸径長け1、51111程度とな
り、複合中心電極の加工が不可能となることとなる。That is, although it is possible to process a center electrode with a center axis diameter of up to 1.8 mm, mass production is difficult and it is impossible to manufacture a homogeneous and inexpensive center electrode. Furthermore, if the thread diameter length of the spark plug itself is less than 10n, particularly 81111, the center diameter of the center electrode will be about 1.51111, making it impossible to process a composite center electrode.
この発明は上記従来のものの欠点を改良するものであシ
、小型スパークプラグにおいても容Aかり安価に上記複
合中心電極を構成しようとするものでおる。The present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and also aims to construct the above-mentioned composite center electrode in a compact and inexpensive manner even in a small spark plug.

。(Means for solving the problem) In the center electrode of a small spark plug that has a mounting screw of MI Off or less, the inner core is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity made of copper, silver, or an alloy thereof, and the outer part is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity. It is formed of a corrosion-resistant metal material, and the outer diameter D1 and inner diameter of the outer metal material are D1≦1.8m, D*≧1, 4
It is formed of a cylindrical clad base material that satisfies ml, and a part of this clad base material is laminated with a highly corrosion-resistant metal. Therefore, by first forming a composite center shaft material and then joining a metal with good corrosion resistance to the top of the material, it is possible to construct a center electrode or center shaft with a small outer diameter very easily.Furthermore, since the joining is done by ultrasonic welding, the joining is easy. It is robust and can be processed relatively easily.

である。Furthermore, in the case of laser welding, it is not possible to obtain uniform welding strength due to the difference in light reflectance between different parts, and if the laser output is too strong, crud may occur on the parts, and the number of welding steps is large. It is unsuitable for mass production.
