Problems solved by technology

[0007] A disadvantage of the spark plugs of the prior art is therefore that precise mechanical adjustments are necessary during their installation, resulting in high costs
Furthermore, despite the mechanical installation precautions, some interfering forces will interfere with the measurements made by the pressure sensor

Embodiment Construction

[0027] exist figure 1 and 2 A preheating spark plug can be seen in the figure, and the preheating spark plug well known to those skilled in the art includes a main body 2, a finger rod body 4, a core ( me) 6 and a pressure sensor 8.

[0028] The body 2 is tubular and has a plurality of cylindrical sections. At a first end, referred to as the spark plug tip 10, the spark plug body has a grip area with an outer surface of hexagonal cross-section. This grip area is used to install and remove the glow plugs by tightening / unscrewing them. For mounting, a threaded region 12 is provided adjacent to the spark plug head 10 . Corresponding threads are provided in the engine cylinder head head to cooperate with the threaded area 12 . In order to improve the sealing between the cylinder head head and the glow plug, it is also conceivable to implement a sealing cone 14 on the main body 2 . This sealing taper 14 will cooperate with a complementary taper surface formed in the head of ...

Abstract

The invention concerns a glow plug comprising: a tubular body (2) having at one of its ends a plug head (10) as well as a zone for being fixed into a bore, an arm (4) mounted on the body (2) of the plug at the end opposite to the plug head (10), and secured to said body (2) in a linking zone (16), an elastically deformable portion (18), located between the linking zone (16) with the arm (4) and the zone fixing the plug body (2), such that said linking zone (16) is mobile and can move longitudinally relative to the so-called stationary fixing zone, and a pressure sensor (8) arranged between anelement (30) secured to the linking zone (16) and a fixed element (20) of the plug.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a glow plug with an integrated pressure sensor and a body of such a glow plug. Background technique [0002] In internal combustion engines, especially Diesel internal combustion engines, each cylinder includes a glow plug for heating the interior of the respective combustion chamber, especially during engine start-up. The glow plug is positioned in a threaded bore through the head of the engine cylinder head. Said glow plug thus comprises a threaded body adapted to be mounted in a corresponding bore in the cylinder head head, and a finger body inside which a glow electrode is housed. [0003] It is likewise known to integrate a pressure sensor with a said glow plug. In fact, it has been noted that knowledge of the value of the internal pressure of each cylinder enables better control of the course of the engine's central combustion. Said information can thus be used to adjust the injection of hydrocarbon fuel into e...
