Description

  The present invention relates to a glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor used for an internal combustion engine such as an automobile engine.

  Conventionally, a glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor provided with a combustion pressure sensor for detecting the combustion pressure of the internal combustion engine is known as a glow plug used in an internal combustion engine such as a diesel engine for automobiles (for example, (See Patent Document 1).

  In such a glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor, the heater temperature tends to be increased in order to improve startability and reduce emissions. For this reason, in each part of the glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor, higher heat resistance is being demanded.

  In particular, when a ceramic heater is used as the heater, welding cannot be used for electrical connection between the ceramic heater and the metal part for taking out the electrode. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a joining method such as press fitting or brazing. The method has a problem that the heat resistance temperature of the joint is low (for example, about 300 to 400 ° C.) as compared with welding between metals.

  On the other hand, in the case of a glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor that incorporates a combustion pressure sensor in the glow plug, the relative displacement in the axial direction of the heater relative to the housing is between the heater and the housing that houses the rear end side of the heater. It is necessary to provide a connecting part (movable part) that holds the above while allowing it. As this connection part, it is common to make relative displacement easy by reducing the thickness of the member, and to increase the transmission load to the combustion pressure sensor.

As described above, in the glow plug with the combustion pressure sensor, the transmission load to the combustion pressure sensor is increased by providing the connecting portion (movable portion) in which the member is thinned. The cross-sectional area of the connecting portion (movable portion) serving as a heat dissipation path is reduced, and heat dissipation from the heater to the housing is hindered. Therefore, the temperature of the electrical connection part between the heater and the metal part for extracting the electrode also tends to increase, and the temperature of the electrical connection part between the heater and the metal part for extracting the electrode is required to ensure reliability and durability. Reduction is an important issue. Note that if the connecting portion (movable portion) is made thicker in order to promote heat dissipation from the heater to the housing, the transmission load to the combustion pressure sensor is reduced, and the detection sensitivity of the combustion pressure is reduced.

  As described above, in the glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor, as the heater temperature rises, the temperature of the electrical connection portion between the heater and the metal part for taking out the electrode tends to increase. In order to ensure, reduction of the temperature of the electrical connection part of a heater and the metal part for electrode extraction has become an important subject.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

It can be set as the structure covered. By setting it as such a structure, the influence of the heat directly added to a connection part from a combustion chamber can be reduced, and the temperature can be reduced. Accordingly, the temperature of the exposed portion (which constitutes an electrical connection portion between the heater and the metal part for extracting the electrode) can also be reduced.

  In the glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor having the above-described configuration, a coating of a material having a heat resistance of 300 ° C. or higher can be formed on at least a part of the surface of the connecting portion. Thereby, the influence by the combustion heat of a combustion chamber can be reduced and the soundness of a connection part can be maintained.

  In the glow plug with a combustion pressure sensor having the above configuration, the insulating base is preferably made of ceramic. As a result, the heater temperature can be increased, and the temperature of the exposed portion (which constitutes an electrical connection portion between the heater and the metal part for taking out the electrode) can be reduced as described above.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the heater 20 is composed of a ceramic heater (made of silicon nitride, alumina or the like) having a structure in which a conductive ceramic 22 is embedded in an insulating ceramic 21 as an insulating base material. On the side peripheral surface of the heater 20, an exposed portion (cathode side) 23 and an exposed portion (anode side) 24 where the conductive ceramic 22 is exposed are provided. Among these, the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 provided on the more distal end side in the axial direction is covered by the heater support member 10, and the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 and the heater support member 10 are electrically connected. . Since the ceramic heater 20 and the metal heater support member 10 cannot be joined by welding, they are joined by brazing or press fitting (in this embodiment, press fitting).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the heater support member 10 includes a connecting portion 11 formed of a flange protruding outward in a bowl shape at the rear end portion. Moreover, the inner peripheral part of this connection part 11 is made into the movable part 12 made thin (for example, 0.3 mm), and comprises a part of connection part 11. FIG. The movable portion 12 has a function of displacing the heater 20 in the axial direction by elastically deforming according to the combustion pressure applied to the pressure receiving surface 25 of the heater 20. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical portion of the heater support member 10 and the connecting portion 11 formed of a flange protruding in a bowl shape are configured as one member, but the cylindrical portion of the heater support member 10 and the hook-like connection portion are formed. 11 is a connecting portion 13 between the cylindrical portion (heater support member 10) and the connecting portion 11 in the present invention (the portion surrounded by a circle in the right side enlarged view of FIG. 2). A projecting portion 8 projecting toward the inner side in the circumferential direction is provided at the distal end portion of the cap member 2 constituting the distal end portion of the housing 1, and when viewed from the axial distal end side, the connecting portion 11 is formed by the projecting portion 8. It is the structure where at least one part of was covered. As a result, the influence of heat directly applied to the connecting portion 11 from the combustion chamber can be reduced, and the temperature can be reduced.

  A cylindrical member 40 that extends in a cylindrical shape toward the rear end side and holds the pressure detection element is provided on the rear end side of the connecting portion 11 of the heater support member 10. A flange portion 41 is formed on the outer side of the cylindrical member 40 in the axial direction so as to protrude outwardly in a bowl shape. Then, the flange portion 41 and the outer peripheral portion of the connecting portion 11 of the heater support member 10 are fixed by welding or the like in a state of being interposed between the cap member 2 and the housing 1 to thereby form a cylindrical member. 40 and the heater support member 10 are connected to the housing 1.

  An insulating plate 42 formed in a disc shape is fixed to a rear end side end portion of the cylindrical member 40 by a cylindrical body 45 provided on the rear end side. As shown in FIG. 3, the insulating plate 42 is provided with a glow electrode 43 and a plurality of (for example, three) element electrodes 44 penetrating the insulating plate 42.

  A pressure detection element 46 is disposed on the surface on the tip side of the insulating plate 42. The pressure detection element 46 is fixed to the front surface of the insulating plate 42 via a lower insulating plate 47 such as glass. Further, an upper insulating plate 48 such as glass is provided on the surface of the pressure detecting element 46 on the tip side. Each element electrode 44 and the pressure detection element 46 are connected by a bonding wire 49.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pressure detecting element 46 includes a hemispherical member 50 made of bearing steel or the like and formed in a hemispherical shape on the front end side, and a rear end side made of an insulating material such as ceramic, in accordance with the shape of the hemispherical member 50. It is fixed with an initial load applied to the rear end of the heater 20 via the insulating member 51 having the shape.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, from the state where the heater 20 having the heater supporting member 10 and the cylindrical member 40 fixed thereto is fixed to the housing 1, first, the insulating member 51 and the hemisphere are formed on the rear end side of the heater 20. The member 50 is disposed (b). Next, the insulating plate 42 shown in FIG. 3 on which the pressure detecting element 46 and the like are mounted is disposed on the rear end side of the hemispherical member 50 (c). Thereafter, the cylindrical body 45 is disposed on the rear end side of the insulating plate 42, and the cylindrical body 45 on the rear end side is welded to the cylindrical member 40 in a state where an initial load is applied (d). Through such a process, the pressure detection element 46 is fixed in a state in which the combustion pressure can be detected by the axial displacement of the heater 20. The glow electrode 43 is fixed to the cylindrical member 40 side in advance, and is assembled so that the glow electrode 43 is positioned in a through hole provided in the insulating plate 42.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the heater support member 10 and the housing are provided by the connecting portion 11 provided at the rear end portion of the heater support member (cylindrical portion) 10 and projecting outwardly in a bowl shape. 1 is connected. Then, the axial rear end 230 of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 exposed on the side peripheral surface of the heater 20 at the rear end in the axial direction from the front end 110 in the axial direction of the connecting portion 13 between the heater support member 10 and the connecting portion 11. Is configured to be located. Thereby, the temperature of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 can be reduced.

  That is, the heat generated in the heat generating portion on the front end side of the heater 20 is transmitted from the heater 20 through the connecting portion 11 to the housing 1 and escapes from the housing 1 to the cooled engine. For this reason, the temperature of the heater 20 is higher on the axial front end side than on the axial front end 110 of the connecting portion 13 and lower on the rear end side. Accordingly, the axial rear end 230 of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 is positioned closer to the rear end side in the axial direction than the front end 110 in the axial direction of the connecting portion 13. The temperature can be lowered.

  In addition, the entire exposed portion (anode side) 24 including the rear end in the axial direction is disposed at the rear end in the axial direction relative to the front end 110 in the axial direction of the connecting portion 13. Therefore, the temperature of the exposed portion (anode side) 24 can be further reduced than that of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23. Note that the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 including the axial rear end 230 as a whole is further disposed at the axial rear end than the axial tip 110 of the connecting portion 13. The temperature of (cathode side) 23 can be lowered.

  In order to reduce the temperature of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 or the like, a substance (for example, gold, copper) having a higher thermal conductivity than the constituent material of the connecting portion 11 is formed on at least a part of the surface of the connecting portion 11. Etc.) is preferably coated. Thereby, the heat radiation from the heater 20 to the housing 1 by the connecting portion 11 can be promoted, and the temperature of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 and the like can be further reduced. Further, from the viewpoint of improving the heat resistance of the connecting portion 11, it is preferable that a film of a material having a heat resistance of 300 ° C. or higher is formed. As such a film, a coating film made of an elastic material such as graphite or fluororesin, a sprayed film made of a ceramic material or various metal materials, or a composite film in which a coating film is formed on the surface of the sprayed film can be used.

  As described above, when coating is performed on the connecting portion 11, the axial direction of the heater 20 that transmits the combustion pressure by elastically deforming the movable portion 12 having a thin inner peripheral portion of the connecting portion 11. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent it from becoming difficult to deform by performing the above coating. For this reason, as a coating material, it is preferable to use a substance softer than the base material which comprises the connection part 11. FIG.

  As described above, since the ceramic heater 20 and the metal heater support member 10 cannot be joined by welding, they are joined by press-fitting in this embodiment. On the other hand, the heater support member 10 has an effect as a metal part for extracting an electrode, and the exposed part (cathode side) 23 and the heater support member 10 are in close contact with each other so that the heater 20 and a metal part for extracting an electrode can be used. An electrical connection with the heater support member 10 is configured. For this reason, when the portion of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 becomes high temperature (for example, 350 ° C. or higher), the press-fitting is loosened due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the heater 20 and the heater support member 10, and the electrical connection state becomes poor And the surface of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 is oxidized.

  On the other hand, in the glow plug 100 with the combustion pressure sensor of the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the temperature of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 and the exposed portion (anode side) 24 from becoming high. Since the temperature of the exposed portion (cathode side) 23 can be lowered to about 280 ° C., it is possible to prevent the above problems from occurring. Thereby, the reliability and durability can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the connecting portion 11 including the flange protruding in the shape of a bowl integrated on the outside of the heater support member 10 has been described. For example, FIG. 5 and FIG. As shown, the heater support member (cylindrical portion) 10 and the connecting portion 11 may be configured as separate members, and these may be joined by welding or the like.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, a case where the connecting portion 511 is joined to the outside of the heater support member (cylindrical portion) 510 having a uniform plate thickness is shown. In this case, the axial tip of the connecting portion 511 joined to the heater support member (cylindrical portion) 510 becomes the axial tip 512 of the connecting portion 513 between the heater support member (cylindrical portion) 510 and the connecting portion 511. .

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, a case where the connecting portion 611 is joined to the thick portion 614 of the heater support member (cylindrical portion) 610 provided with the thick portion 614 in the joint portion is shown. In this case, since the thick part 614 is included in the elements constituting the connection part 613, the axial direction tip of the thick part 614 is the axial direction of the connection part 613 between the heater support member (cylindrical part) 610 and the connecting part 611. A tip 612 is formed.

  Moreover, the connection part 11 may be the structure which connects not only what connects the heater support member 10 and the housing 1 directly, but the heater support member 10 and the housing 1 via another member. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the connecting portion 11 may be connected to the housing 1 via a cylindrical member 40.

  As described above, when the axial displacement of the heater 20 due to the combustion pressure is detected by the pressure detection element 46, the pressure detection element 46 is composed of, for example, a piezoresistive element such as an Si element or an SOI element, and pressure is applied. What was comprised so that the electrical signal according to the distortion at the time of output may be used can be used. When such a pressure detection element 46 is configured, a structure in which an element such as an Si element or an SOI element is bonded to a substrate made of glass, metal, or the like can be used. A piezoresistor is formed on the surface of the element, and pressure is detected from a change in resistance value when the element is strained and deformed. In addition, piezoelectric elements such as PZT and quartz can also be used.

  The detection signal of the pressure detection element 46 is processed by a signal processing circuit provided on the substrate 62 built in the glow plug 100 with the combustion pressure sensor, or a signal processing circuit provided outside, and then a control device such as an ECU. And a change in the combustion pressure in the engine is detected.

  In the glow plug 100 with the combustion pressure sensor configured as described above, the tip of the heater 20 protrudes from the tip of the housing 1 as shown in FIG. The glow plug 100 is inserted into a plug mounting hole of an engine (not shown), and the screw portion 4 is fastened to the mounting screw of the engine to bring the seat surface 7 into contact with the engine, thereby ensuring airtightness. In this state, the heater 20 is attached to the internal combustion engine so that the front end side is located in the combustion chamber, and the heater 20 is energized to generate heat, thereby assisting in starting the internal combustion engine.

  When a combustion pressure is applied to the tip surface (pressure receiving surface) 25 of the heater 20, the movable portion 12 is elastically deformed (bends), whereby the heater 20 is displaced in the axial direction toward the rear, and pressure detection. The element 46 is pressed through the insulating member 51 and the hemispherical member 50. The insulating plate 42 on which the pressure detection element 46 is arranged is held on the axial rear end side by a cylindrical body 45 welded to the cylindrical member 40 all around the cylindrical member 40. Since the pressure detection element 46 receives a pressing force, an output signal corresponding to the pressing force is generated. The output signal of the pressure detection element 46 is transmitted to the signal processing circuit provided on the substrate 62 by the sensor terminal 44 and amplified by the signal processing circuit.

  In the above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the like, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be appropriately modified and applied without departing from the gist thereof.
