    摘要: Provided is a method of making a spark plug (100) having a noble metal chip (32) joined to an electrode main body (4m) of a ground electrode (4) by interposing therebetween an intermediate member (33). The method comprises the steps of prior to joining the noble metal chip (32) to the electrode main body (4m), joining the intermediate member (4m) and the noble metal chip (32) together, placing a noble metal chip and intermediate member assembly (34) on the electrode main body (4m) in a way as to allow the intermediate member (33) to contact the electrode main body (4m), and welding the electrode main body (4m) and the intermediate member (33) together while restricting relative movement of the electrode main body, (4m) and the intermediate member (33) without applying an urging force to a joint between the intermediate member (33) and the noble metal chip (32).

    摘要: A spark plug includes a metallic shell (5) having a stepped portion (5c); an insulator (3) disposed inside the metallic shell (5), while being engaged with the stepped portion (5c) of the metallic shell (5), and having an axially extending through-hole (3d); a center electrode (2) fixed within the through-hole (3d) of the insulator (3); and a ground electrode (4) having a tip end portion (4a) bent toward the center electrode (2) to thereby form a spark discharge gap (g). The insulator (3) is formed such that the outer diameter of the insulator (3) decreases toward the tip end side from an engagement position at which the insulator (3) engages the stepped portion (5c) and such that the diameter decreases stepwise at an axial position between the engagement position and the tip end of the insulator (3). The diameter reduction ratio Y1 = D1/d1 is 0.6 or less in a region of at least 2 mm extending from the tip end surface (3b) of the insulator (3) toward the base end side, wherein D1 represents the outer diameter of the insulator (3) measured at an arbitrarily determined axial position, and d1 represents the inner diameter of the tip end portion (5a) of the metallic shell (5). Further, a clearance ratio Y2 = (d1-D1)/d1 is 0.4 or greater in a region of at least 1 mm extending from the tip end surface (5b) of the metallic shell (5) toward the base end side.

An insulator (2) is fixedly placed within the metal shell (1) so that a front end surface (21) of the insulator (2) extends beyond a front end surface (12) of the metal shell (1) with a shoulder portion (231) of an insulator nose (23) engaged against the seat portion (11) of the metal shell (1) by way of a packing (10). A center electrode (3) is fixedly placed within an axial bore (22) of said insulator (2), A ground electrode (4) is connected to the front end surface (12) of the metal shell (1), and bent so that a front end surface (41) of the ground electrode (4) opposes an outer surface (311) of the center electrode (3). The outer surface (311) and a front end surface (31) of the center electrode (3) are provided to respectively serve as a firing portion so as to form a spark discharge gap (Go) with the front end surface (41) of the ground electrode (4), the front end surface (41) of the ground electrode (4) forming an air gap (G) with an outer surface (25) of the insulator (2) so as to release creeping spark discharges along a front end surface (21) of the insulator (2).

    摘要: In a device for evaluating heat resistivity of a spark plug, an ignition spark control circuit is provided to miss out an ignition spark across the electrodes of a spark plug mounted on an internal combustion engine at predetermined intervals. A counter circuit is provided to count the number of times the ignition spark is suppressed by the ignition spark control circuit. A self-ignition detection circuit is provided to detect self-ignition caused by a hot-spot on the spark plug when the ignition spark is suppressed by the ignition spark control circuit. A self-ignition counter circuit is provided to count the number of self-ignitions detected by the self-ignition detection circuit. A calculation circuit is provided to calculate the occurrence rate of self-ignition from the spark plug on the basis of the number of suppressed ignition sparks counted by the counter circuit and the number of detected self-ignitions counted by the self-ignition counter circuit. A self-ignition timing detection circuit is provided to detect the engine timing at which self-ignition is detected by the self-ignition detection circuit. A preignition timing prediction circuit is provided to predict an ignition timing when preignition of the internal combustion engine would occur on the basis of the occurrence rate of self-ignition determined by the calculation circuit and on the timing of the self-ignition detected by the self-ignition timing detection circuit.
