摘要:
A method for manufacturing a spark plug which includes: (a) preparing a metal shell; (b) preparing an insulator; (c) inserting the insulator in an insertion hole of the metal shell; (d) forming an intended crimping portion of the metal shell into a crimping portion; and (e) pressing a lower side portion of the metal shell closer to a position lower than the intended compressive deformation portion, and pressing the crimping portion of the metal shell in an axial direction to compressively deform the intended compressive deformation portion of the metal shell and thus seal a space between a stepped portion of the metal shell and a stepped portion of the insulator, wherein step (e) controls a pressing amount of a press in a constant value from the start of compressive deformation to the end thereof.

An object is to enable a burr-free surface of a tip to be welded to a ground electrode more reliably, to thereby realize an excellent joint strength. Means for Solution A spark plug (1) includes a center electrode (5), a ground electrode (27), and a ground-electrode-side tip (32) joined to the ground electrode (27) through its joining surface (32B). A process of manufacturing the spark plug (1) includes a tip forming step and a tip joining step of resistance-welding the ground-electrode-side tip (32) to the ground electrode (27). The tip forming step includes a wire rod forming step of forming a wire rod (WR) having a reference surface (BS), and a wire rod cutting step of cutting the wire rod (WR) by moving a cutting blade CE from one edge of the reference surface (BS) with respect to the width direction thereof toward the other edge of the reference surface (BS) with respect to the width direction, to thereby obtain the ground-electrode-side tip (32). In the tip joining step, at least a portion of the reference surface (BS) of the ground-electrode-side tip (32) is joined to the ground electrode (27), whereby that portion becomes the joining surface (32B).

A technique of reducing the occurrence of multiple discharge in a spark plug is provided. The spark plug has a main ground electrode and three auxiliary ground electrodes. The position at which the first auxiliary ground electrode is joined to a metallic shell is located opposite the position at which the main ground electrode is joined to the metallic shell, with respect to a center electrode. The positions at which the second and third auxiliary ground electrodes are joined to the metallic shell are located opposite to each other with respect to the center electrode. When the width of the first auxiliary ground electrode is represented by W, the shortest distance between the second auxiliary ground electrode and the third auxiliary ground electrode is represented by T, and a distance which is a component of the shortest distance T in a direction orthogonal to the first auxiliary ground electrode is represented by Tp, a relation W ≥ tp is satisfied.
