A generation of a stress corrosion cracking is prevented in a middle section. The spark plug 1 includes an insulator 2 that extends along an axis CL1 direction and a metal shell 3. The metal shell 3 includes a middle section 41 that is positioned between a collar section 16 and a tool engaging section 19. The middle section 41 has a bulged section 42 that bulges towards both the inside and the outside in the diametrical direction, a first slender section 43 that is the most slender at a portion that is positioned further to the rear end side in the axis CL1 direction than the bulged section 42 and a second slender section 44 that is the most slender at a portion that is positioned further to the leading end side in the axis CL1 direction than the bulged section 42 and the bulged section 42 has the most bulged section 42M that bulges toward the most inside of diametrical direction. In a cross-section that includes the axis CL1, when the distance between both slender sections 43 and 44 along the axis CL1 is F (mm) and the bulged amount to the inside in diametrical direction of the most bulged section 42M with respect to an imaginary line that connects a portion that is positioned furthest to the inside in diametrical direction of both slender sections 43 and 44 is G (mm), 0.00
摘要:
A spark plug comprised of an insulator having a stepped portion on an outer circumferential portion thereof, the stepped portion tapering frontward in the direction of the axis of the spark plug, an annular sheet packing and a metallic shell having a taper portion provided on an inner circumferential portion thereof and tapering frontward in the direction of the axis of the spark plug, the metallic shell holding the insulator through a rear end portion thereof being crimped, the stepped portion being seated on the taper portion via the sheet packing, and the taper portion having a groove therein.

A spark plug is provided which can ensure gastightness between a metal shell and an insulator while preventing the cracking of the insulator. There is provided a spark plug in which a ledge portion 30 is formed on the metal shell 11 whose inside diameter is reduced gradually towards a front end portion, a step portion 32 is formed on an insulator 12 whose outside diameter is reduced gradually towards the front end portion and which confronts the ledge portion 30, and packing 34 is disposed between the ledge portion 30 and the step portion 32, characterized in that a distance between the ledge portion 30 and the step portion 32 gets narrower as the ledge portion 30 and the step portion 32 extend radially inwards, and in that an angle θ formed by the ledge portion 30 and the step portion 32 is one degree or larger and 10 degrees or smaller.
摘要:
A spark plug including a center electrode; an insulator; and a metal shell, the metal shell including: a tool engaging section; a body section; and a groove section formed between the tool engaging section and the body section, and having bulges which bulge in an outer peripheral direction and in an inner peripheral direction. When a portion of the groove section having a largest outer diameter is a first section, a thinnest portion from the first section to the body section is a second section, and a portion having a thickness that is the same as that of the first section is a third section, a relation between a thickness A of the second section and a radius of curvature R of an outer surface of the metal shell that continues from the second section to the third section satisfies R×A≧0.20 mm2.
摘要:
A spark plug including an insulator and a metallic shell having an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface has a taper portion which comes into contact with a peripheral region around a mounting hole of an internal combustion engine, a tool engagement portion, and a trunk portion formed between the tool engagement portion and the taper portion. The inner surface has an annular step portion projecting toward the insulator and an internal trunk portion extending from the base of the step portion toward the rear end of the metallic shell. When the insulator and the metallic shell are fixed to each other by one of either cold and hot crimping, the projected area of the taper portion is at least two times or at least 1.5 times that of the step portion, respectively.

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.
