- the rod-like insulator is inserted into an internal space of the coil member. This prevents contact between the coil member and the metallic tube, which could otherwise result from bending of the coil member in the process of drawing the metallic tube. This also prevents variation in heating characteristics. among glow plugs, which could otherwise result from the occurrence of uneven pitch spacings between turns of the coil member. Also, when only insulating powder is used as a filler for the metallic tube, voids are formed between powder particles even after drawing. Insertion of the rod-like insulator lessens a space into which the insulating powder is charged, so as to enhance the effect of charging through reduction of void space.
- the present invention has been accomplished in view of the above described problems of the prior art, and an object of the invention is to provide a glow plug in which heat generated by the coil member is effectively conducted to the metallic tube.
- the present invention provides a glow plug comprising a metallic tube having a closed distal end and extending axially, a rod-like insulator disposed within the metallic tube so as to form a clearance between the insulator and the metallic tube, a coil member encircling an outer circumferential surface of the insulator, and insulating powder charged into the metallic tube which fills the interior of the metallic tube, wherein the insulator is formed of an insulating material having a thermal conductivity that is lower than that of the insulating powder.
- the insulator to be inserted into the coil member is formed of an insulating material having a thermal conductivity that is lower than that of the insulating powder, which insulating powder is charged to fill the interior of the metallic tube.
- a glow plug is maintained at a predetermined temperature.
- a predetermined current must be continuously supplied to a coil member.
- the coil member is susceptible to breakage.
- the glow plug of the present invention is configured such that the insulator inserted into the coil member is formed of an insulating material having a thermal conductivity that is lower than that of the insulating powder, heat generated by the coil member is effectively conducted to the metallic tube. Consequently, the heat that the coil member must generate in order to maintain the glow plug at a predetermined temperature can be reduced as compared to a conventional glow plug. As a result, the predetermined current that needs to be supplied to the coil member decreases, whereby the durability of the coil member is enhanced.
- the glow plug of the present invention is configured such that A ⁇ 0.6B, where A is the diameter of the insulator, and B is the inside diameter of the coil member.

- the glow plug in this aspect of the present invention is configured such that the occupancy rate of the insulating powder in the clearance between the metallic tube and the coil member is greater than that of the insulating material in the insulator. Since void space in a region of the clearance between the metallic tube and the coil member becomes less than that in the insulator, the thermal conductivity of the insulating powder can be rendered higher than that of the insulator, so that heat generated by the coil member can be effectively conducted to the metallic tube. Notably, the occupancy rate is measured per unit area on a cross section taken perpendicularly to the axis of the glow plug.
- the glow plug of the present invention is configured such that the occupancy rate of the insulating powder present in the clearance between the metallic tube and the coil member is greater than that of the insulating material in the insulator, heat generated by the coil member is effectively conducted to the metallic tube, so that the heat that the coil member must generate to maintain a predetermined temperature can be reduced as compared with a conventional glow plug. As a result, the predetermined current that needs to be supplied to the coil member decreases, whereby the durability of the coil member is enhanced.
- the glow plug of the present invention is configured such that the insulating powder has an average particle size that is smaller than that of the insulating material. This feature enables the insulating powder present in the clearance between the metallic tube and the coil member to have an occupancy rate greater than that of the insulating material in the insulator, so that heat generated by the coil member can be effectively conducted to the metallic tube.
