Definitions
- the invention relates to a glow plug with a heating rod consisting of an inner pole and a glow tube, in which a heating element is arranged which is electrically connected to the inner pole.
- Such a glow plug which is known for example from DE-OS 41 33 338, can be designed in the form of a rod glow plug and is used, for example, as a starting aid for an air-compressing internal combustion engine.
- Glow plugs are also used for ignition support in heaters.
- the object on which the invention is based is therefore to provide a glow plug of the type mentioned at the outset which has a shorter heating-up time without its service life being impaired.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that the glow tube is provided with a coating of a ceramic material at least in the region of its tip.
- the ceramic coating provided according to the invention acts as surface protection for the glow tube, so that its wall thickness can be reduced considerably.
- the resultant lower mass has the consequence that the glow plug according to the invention shows a short heating-up time, ie a rapid heating-up, which means that diesel vehicles whose engine is equipped with such glow plugs can be started more quickly. 'The extremely fast heat-up time without compromising Le ⁇ is achieved service life of the glow plug.
- the design according to the invention also has the advantage that scaling of the material of the glow tube is avoided with the short heating times achieved, long afterglow and high temperatures, which makes it possible to use glow tubes made of a material which is associated with low costs.
- a cost saving also results from the fact that the glow tube can have smaller tube wall thicknesses.
- the coating provided according to the invention further fulfills the requirement existing in heating devices that the glowing heating rod tip must be electrically insulated from the glow current.
- the single figure shows the exemplary embodiment of the glow plug according to the invention in an axial partial section.
- the embodiment of the glow plug according to the invention shown in the drawing comprises a housing in which a heating rod 1 is arranged, which consists of an inner pole 2 for connection to the electrical power supply and a glow tube 5, in which a heating element 3 is arranged, which has the inner pole 2 is electrically connected.
- the glow tube 5 has at least at its tip a coating 6, 7 made of a ceramic material, which in the embodiment shown in the drawing consists of a base or adhesive layer 6 made of NiCrAlY, in particular Ni 22Cr 10A1 1Y or a similar material and the actual ceramic cover layer 7, which preferably consists of yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide mixed with Ni Cr Al Y.
- the mixing ratio between the zirconium dioxide and the admixtures is between 10 and 80% for Zr02, especially 50:50.
- the adhesive layer 6, which is applied directly to the glow tube 5, has a thickness between 10 and 50 ⁇ m, in particular between 20 and 30 ⁇ m.
- the cover layer 7 is provided on the adhesive layer 6.
- the glow tube 5 can be made of the alloys commonly used up to now, such as Inconel 600 or 601, but with a low Rigen wall thickness over its entire length or at its tip or made of another particularly cheaper alloy.
- a suitable heating rod or glow tube shape is provided with a geometry in which edges, corners and sharp transitions are avoided and rounded.
- R1 denotes a point where there is no coating. If the entire heating rod tip is coated, a radius of approximately 3-5 mm is provided between R1 and R2. In contrast, the radius R3 can only be approximately 1 to 2 mm.
