Embodiment Construction

[0044] The spark plug 1 of FIG. 1 is a spark plug developed by the applicant's company as a spark plug for generating plasma. This spark plug is included in a patent application that has not yet been published on the filing date of the present application.

[0045] This spark plug comprises a cylindrical central electrode 7 with an axis of symmetry D, the part of which is called the inner part, arranged inside and at some distance from the annular housing 3 having the axis D Cylindrical tube shape.

[0046] An annular insulating element is also partly arranged inside the annular casing, surrounding said central electrode, thereby separating the casing from the central electrode 7 . The insulating element, the central electrode and the housing 3 are rotationally symmetrical elements about the axis D. The center electrode 7 has an uncovered portion 16 , ie a portion not surrounded by the electrically insulating element 10 and the housing 3 , which is arranged inside the combus...

Abstract

The invention concerns a so-called radiofrequency plasma spark plug (1) designed to equip a combustion chamber (2) comprising: an annular shell (3) with a main axis D; a central electrode (7) made of a second conductive material, extending along the main axis D and including an inner portion (8) arranged inside said annular shell (3) and an outer portion (9) arranged outside said annular shell (3); an annular electrically insulating part (10) extending at least about the inner portion (8) of the central electrode (7) so as to be interposed between the shell (3) and the electrode (7), said insulating part (10) only covering part of the outer portion (9) of the central electrode (7). The insulating part (10) having an annular flange (11) concealing the entire circular terminal surface (6) of the shell relative to the uncovered part (16) of the electrode (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a radio frequency plasma spark plug. [0002] More particularly, the invention relates to a spark plug, referred to as a radio frequency plasma spark plug, fitted in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine and comprising: [0003] - an annular housing with a main axis D, formed from a first electrically conductive material and having first and second ends and an end circular surface with a main axis of symmetry D at the first end of said housing; [0004] - a central electrode, formed of a second electrically conductive material, extending along the main axis D and comprising an inner portion disposed inside said annular housing and an outer portion disposed outside said annular housing, with a second end of the housing the outer portion is closer to the first end than; [0005] - an annular electrically insulating element extending around at least the inner portion of the central electrode so ...
