Method for producing and checking an internal thread

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing and checking a thread arranged in a cylinder head to receive a spark plug. However, the invention also relates to a device for checking the thread introduced into the cylinder head.;By defining a starting point of the internal thread to be produced specifically in terms of position thereof within the parent hole by using spark plug parameters, the spark plug will always be aligned with its spark gap oriented toward the injector. For the purpose of checking, use is made of a plug gage, the screw-in thread of which has the parameters of the spark plug thread and with which, by using a measuring face, the position of an extension on the threaded body can be established. The extension simulates the ground electrode of the spark plug.

1. A method for producing and checking a thread arranged in a cylinder head to receive a spark plug having a spark plug thread, comprising at least the following steps:
determining spark plug parameters, introducing a spark plug hole into the cylinder head, defining a starting point of an internal thread to be introduced into the spark plug hole and corresponding with the spark plug thread, by using the spark plug parameters determined, introducing the internal thread by a milling tool being brought up to a wall of the hole tangentially at least in an area of the starting point, with the internal thread being milled circularly, and introducing a plug gage which has the spark plug parameters, the plug gage having a spanner flat for engaging a torque wrench and a measuring face which is provided opposite an extension arranged on a threaded body corresponding to the spark plug thread, wherein an orientation of the extension in a mounted state can be detected by the measuring face.
