- FIG. 5 represents the circulation of the currents linked to the electromagnetic field by a sectional view along the axis 5-5 'of FIG. 3 according to the invention.
- a radiofrequency plasma candle 1 of substantially cylindrical general shape mainly comprises a substantially capacitive lower part C and an essentially inductive upper part I, the parts C and I being of substantially elongated shape, connected in series and having a common longitudinal axis Z. - AT -
- the substantially capacitive portion C comprises, in particular, a base 2 intended to be connected to the ground and surrounding a central electrode 3, substantially cylindrical, axis Z, acting as a high voltage electrode.
- An electrically insulating block, called “insulator” 4 is placed between the base 2 and the central electrode 3, the insulator 4 being configured to guide the sparks between the electrodes 2 and 3.
- the base 2 has, on the outer face of its lower part closest to the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine equipped with the spark plug 1, a form suitable for the establishment, maintenance and tightening of the spark plug 1 on the cylinder head (for example and without limitation, as shown in Figure 1: a thread).
- the essentially inductive part I of the spark plug 1 comprises a central mandrel 8 surrounded successively by a winding 5, an insulator 7, an inner envelope 62 and an outer envelope 61.
- the mandrel 8 is cylindrical in shape with a circular section whose axis is substantially coincident with the axis Z of the candle 1. It is made of insulating and non-magnetic material.
- the winding 5 is composed of turns 51 surrounding the central mandrel 8 from a first upper turn 512 to a last lower turn 513. As shown in Figure 1, the first upper turn 512 is connected to the connector 12 and the last turn 513 is connected by appropriate means 14 to an inner end of the central electrode 3.
- the insulator 7 which surrounds the winding 5 is of cylindrical shape with a polygonal section and is chosen from a material with low electromagnetic losses.
- materials satisfying this property there is the family of silicones whose major disadvantage is to have a significant coefficient of thermal expansion of the order of 0.0001 K -1 .
- the inner casing 62 has an inner face 622 and an outer face 621. It is of cylindrical shape with polygonal section. Nevertheless, only the outer face 621 can be chosen of cylindrical shape with a polygonal section.
- the internal envelope 62 is made in such a way that the lower surface 622 of the internal envelope 62 is adjacent to the outer face 71 of the insulator 7.
- the inner envelope 62 is chosen from a material conductor in the frequency range, located between 1 MHz and 10 MHz, claimed for the operation of this candle 1. It may be made of different metallic materials, for example copper or different materials covered on its external faces with metal salts, by example a nickel plating by electroplating.
- the thickness of this envelope 61 is chosen constant and sufficiently thin to ensure conductivity at low frequency.
- the inner casing 62 may be chosen from 5 to 10 ⁇ m copper.
- the outer casing 61 has an outer face 61 1 and an inner face 612. It is cylindrical in shape with circular section. But, only its inner face 612 can be chosen to have a cylindrical shape with a circular section.
- This envelope 61 is selected from a material and is dimensioned in such a way that the circulation of the currents related to the electromagnetic shielding is ensured.
- This outer envelope 61 is chosen from a conducting material in the frequency range, located between 1 Mhz and 10 MHz, claimed for the operation of this candle 1.
- this envelope 61 may be made of a material with a high conductivity (such as copper: 6 ⁇ 10 7 S / m) or in a low conductivity material (such as steel: 1 x 10 7 S / m) and covered on its outer faces by a conductive layer, for example copper or silver.
- the thickness of this envelope 61 is at least greater than the skin thickness which corresponds to the depth of penetration of the current lines in a conductor in the frequency range, located between 1 MHz and 10 MHz, claimed for the operation of this candle 1.
- the outer casing 61 is copper, its thickness is at least of 100 ⁇ m.
- the internal envelope 61 is di mensioned in such a way that its axial edges 61 3 are in electrical contact with the inside face 61 2 of the outer envelope 61.
- Surface roughness defects of the outer face 61 1 of the outer casing 61 are not troublesome to ensure the electrical contact of the two envelopes 61, 62. Indeed, along an edge 613, the electrical contact can be assured punctually at a few points 9 of the edge 613.
- the empty zones created between the inner casing 62 and the outer casing 61 allow the insulator 7, having a high coefficient of thermal expansion, to expand by converging towards a substantially cylindrical outer shape that partially or completely empty areas.
- the electromagnetic shielding is provided.
- the current 10 bonded to the magnetic shielding circulates mainly on the inner face 612 of the outer envelope 61.
- the current related to the electrical shielding circulates mainly on the outside face 61 1 of the envelope external 61. It comprises, in particular, two components: a first component 1 1 1 which corresponds to the electrical loading of the capacitor located at the end of the coil 5 and a second component 1 12 which corresponds to the current required to block the electric field created by the winding 5.
- This second component 1 12 flows, first, radially at the outer envelope 61 and the contact points 9 of the interface between the inner casing 62 and the outer casing 61. circulates, in a second time, in the inner casing 62 so as to distribute homogeneously to shield the electric field created by the coil 5.
- the tightening torque for the realization of the connection between the essentially capacitive part C and the essentially inductive part I of the spark plug 1 is transmitted by the outer casing 61.
- the thickness of the outer casing 61 will be therefore dimensioned to ensure the transmission of this tightening torque.
- the main advantage of this type of transmission is that it reduces the mechanical stresses to the largest radius available, where the leverage effect is optimal, thus minimizing the mechanical stresses on the materials themselves.
- the envelopes 61, 62 can effectively provide electromagnetic shielding while respecting the function of the insulator 7 which is a high coefficient of expansion material.
