摘要:
A spark plug is composed of a main metal fitting having a cylindrical structure, an insulator disposed inside the cylindrical main metal fitting, a center electrode fitted in the insulator in a manner that a front end portion of the center electrode projects outward over one end of the insulator, and a grounding electrode mounted to the main metal fitting and having one end portion opposing to the front end portion of the center electrode through a discharge gap therebetween. The front end portion of the center electrode includes a conical portion having a tapered surface having a taper angle of less than 80°, and a columnar portion formed to a top end portion of the conical portion so as to have a diameter in a range of 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm.

Carbon fouling adhered on an insulator tip of a spark plug of the present invention is burnt down by a leak current during an inductive discharge period, due to a promoted ionization before beginning a capacitive discharge, in such an arrangement of a central electrode that a border portion of a body and narrowed portion is positioned in an insulator. The carbon burning-down effect is further improved by a narrow projection provided with an earth electrode, due to increased inductive energy and extended inductive discharge time period. This is because an electric field in a discharge gap is raised, thereby decreasing a discharge voltage and suppressing an energy emitted from a coil during the capacitive discharge.

A spark plug for internal-combustion engines includes a housing, an insulator, a center electrode, and an earth electrode. A gas guiding sections equipped with slopes that slope inwardly as they approach toward a tip side from a circumference surface of the housing and guide surfaces that are disposed on both sides in a circumferential direction of the slopes are formed in a tip part of the housing. The gas guiding sections are formed in the circumferential direction within a 90-degree range measured relative to the center of the earth joint section, which is a junction of the housing and the earth electrode, in the circumferential direction. When the spark plug is mounted to the engine, it is constituted so that the gas guiding sections are projected into a combustion chamber.

A spark plug for an internal combustion engine is provided which is equipped with a tip protrusion disposed on a top of a hollow cylindrical housing of the spark plug. The spark plug also includes a center electrode retained in a porcelain insulator disposed inside the housing and a ground electrode is joined to the housing so as to form a spark gap. The tip protrusion serves to direct a flow of gas to be ignited by a spark produced in the spark gap and is shaped to have a radial width extending in a radial direction of the housing and a circumferential width extending in a circumferential direction of the cylindrical housing. The radial width is greater than the circumferential width. This enhances the efficiency in guiding the flow of gas toward the spark gap.

There is provided a spark plug that includes a center electrode, an insulator, a housing, a ground electrode, an auxiliary ground electrode, and a projected portion in the housing. The housing has a though-hole which is formed in the housing along the longitudinal axis of the center electrode and has an opening of the through-hole at the first housing end. The ground electrode has a first end facing the end of the center electrode to form a first discharge gap. The auxiliary ground electrode has a first end facing an outer peripheral surface of the first end of the insulator to form a second discharge gap. The projected portion is formed in a hollow portion of the through-hole and is projected from an inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion of the housing.

In a high frequency plasma generation system, a magnetic resonance section is provided as a frequency multiplier section between a discharge circuit and a power booster circuit. The magnetic resonance section extracts from a fundamental wave of a predetermined frequency generated by a frequency generator higher harmonic components, which are multiplied waves of the predetermined frequency and as high as two or more integer times of the fundamental wave. A resonance frequency of the power booster circuit and a first resonance coil is set to be equal to the frequency of the multiplied wave and match to equal a resonance frequency of the discharge circuit and a second resonance coil of the magnetic resonance section when a discharge electrode and a ground electrode are in a predetermined pressure range.

A temperature sensor includes a temperature sensing section having a thermistor element 11 and connecting ends 121 and 122, an outside connection circuit having detecting resistors 211 to 213 and connecting ends 221 to 225, and a switching element 30 for obtaining a selective connection between the first ends 121 and 122 and the second ends 221 to 225. The switching element 30 is for example constructed by a connector 31 and a shunt wire 32. The second switching element 30 can, as an alternative, be constructed by a pair of connectors, which provide different mutual positions, one of which is selected to obtain a connection. As a second feature, a connector, which is separate from the thermistor element, is provided with adjusting resistors which are in series and in parallel connected to the thermistor element.

A thermistor type temperature sensor having a substrate made from an electrically insulating ceramic plate. A thin or thick film detecting resistor is printed on the substratum. A thick or thin film pull-up resistor may also be printed on the substratum, and trimming of the resistors is possible. The ratio of B-constant values for the detecting resistor and the pull-up resistor may be selected so that it is locate between 0.4 to 0.9 or 1.1 to 1.5. The detecting resistor may be constructed from thermistor sections of the same composition and the sections may be connected in parallel or in series. The thermistor sensor can be connected to the pipe through which a gas passes. When the sensor is connected to the pipe, the angle of the measuring plane may be adjusted, so that a precise measurement can be obtained.
