Description

Method for refitting CNG ignition system and CNG ignition system
Technical Field
The invention relates to modification of an engine ignition system, in particular to a method for modifying a CNG ignition system and the CNG ignition system, which are suitable for modifying the CNG ignition system based on a traditional gasoline engine.
Background
With the gradual tightening of emission regulations, for the traditional gasoline engine, each large host factory starts to seek clean energy, and at present, two situations mainly exist, one is new energy (pure electric and hybrid), the main customer group is a private car owner, the other is natural gas fuel, and the main customer group is a taxi market.
At present, each large main engine factory CNG engine is basically reformed by a traditional gasoline engine, and compared with the ignition voltage of the traditional gasoline engine, the ignition voltage in a cylinder of the CNG engine is higher, because the environment in the cylinder of the CNG engine is worse than that of the traditional gasoline engine. Then the problem comes, what is the higher firing voltage of CNG has an effect on the ignition system?
Introduction of ignition voltage principle and influencing factors: first we say three major pieces of the ignition system: ignition coil, high-voltage line (for 1X1 overhead ignition coil, high-voltage line is not required), spark plug. The ignition coil is used for providing a high-voltage source (the operation principle of the ignition coil is that a primary low voltage is converted into a secondary high voltage by utilizing the transformer principle), the high-voltage wire is used for providing a high-voltage transmission path (for the 1X1 overhead ignition coil, the high voltage is transmitted to a spark plug through a connecting rod of the ignition coil after being output from the secondary of the ignition coil), and the spark plug is used for breaking down a gap between a central electrode and a side electrode by high voltage to form mixed gas in an arc ignition cylinder. The ignition voltage is affected by the current in-cylinder mixture in addition to the spark plug gap.
After CNG is modified, the ignition voltage is increased, particularly for ignition coils of 1X2 and 2X2, the ignition mode of a positive electrode and a negative electrode exists, the ablation rate of a side electrode of a positive electrode ignition cylinder is increased, the gap between a central electrode and the side electrode is increased, the voltage increase rate of a system is too high, and the risk of system failure is high. The conventional improvement scheme is to upgrade the ignition coil to a 1 × 1 ignition coil, and the central electrode and the side electrodes are designed by adopting noble metal materials. However, such upgrading is relatively costly, and the calibration needs to be performed again, which takes a long period. This is undesirable for most host plants to adopt this conventional improvement, but there is no other better solution. If the ignition coil is replaced and the double-expensive design of the spark plug is added, the cost of a single machine is increased, and the profit of a company is influenced; however, if the ignition system scheme of the gasoline engine is directly followed, the ignition system scheme faces the complaint of after-sales customers, and the product strength and brand image of a company are greatly influenced. So based on the current situation CNG retrofitting has met with bottlenecks.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that: a method for modifying a CNG ignition system is characterized in that based on an original vehicle ignition system, cylinder-based differential modification is adopted: under the condition that original motorcycle type ignition coil does not change, make every jar spark plug into the differentiation, increase noble metal material on center electrode or side electrode according to ignition jar polarity.
In the negative ignition cylinder, the center electrode of the spark plug is plated with a noble metal material; in the positive ignition cylinder, the side electrodes are plated with a noble metal material.

In the negative ignition cylinder, the center electrode of the spark plug is plated with a noble metal material; in the positive ignition cylinder, the side electrodes are plated with a noble metal material.
The ignition coil is a 1x2 type ignition coil or a 2x2 type ignition coil.
The invention has the advantages that: through the differentiated design of spark plugs of all cylinders, the head part of a spark plug side electrode of the positive ignition cylinder is made of a noble metal material, and a center electrode is made of a common nickel alloy material, so that the failure risk of the positive ignition cylinder can be reduced, and the modification cost is greatly reduced; the spark plug differential design is adopted, so that not only is the cost reduction brought to a host factory, but also the fault damage of engine parts and unpredictable dangers of a whole vehicle and a driver caused by the failure of an ignition system are effectively reduced; only the head of the electrode is plated with noble metal, so that the cost can be effectively saved, the loss is at the head during breakdown, and the effects of protection and loss reduction can be met.
Drawings
The contents of the expressions in the various figures of the present specification and the labels in the figures are briefly described as follows:
fig. 1 is a schematic view of the ignition system of a 1x1 ignition coil;
fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the ignition system of a 1x2 type ignition coil.
Detailed Description
The following description of preferred embodiments of the invention will be made in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1. According to the state of the ignition system of the original vehicle type, cylinder differentiation design is carried out:
the cylinder differentiation means that spark plugs of each cylinder are differentiated under the condition that an ignition coil of an original automobile model is not changed, and under the normal condition, the spark plugs of each cylinder of an engine are the same, and performance parameters and the appearance of the engine are the same. Of course, CNG is reformed on the original gasoline engine, and the spark plugs of each cylinder can be made to be the same (performance parameters and appearance), but in order to save cost to the maximum extent, a cylinder-by-cylinder differentiation scheme is adopted. The details will be presented in the detailed description.
2. According to different polarities of the ignition cylinder, precious metal materials (common precious metal materials comprise platinum and iridium) are added on the central electrode or the side electrodes, and an ignition coil is not changed;
the negative ignition cylinder is used for optimizing the material of the central electrode of the spark plug to adopt a noble metal material to relieve the increase of an ignition gap because the central electrode is seriously burnt at the moment;
the positive electrode ignition cylinder optimizes the side electrode material, increases the precious metal material and relieves the ignition gap from increasing because the side electrode is seriously burnt at the moment;
3. only the head part of the side electrode is made of noble metal, the central electrode tip part is still made of common nickel alloy, and the market does not have the scheme, so that the protection scope of the patent is also disclosed. The wear resistance is increased by plating a noble metal material layer on the head of the electrode.
4. By adopting the design of cylinder differentiation, the ignition voltage level of each cylinder can be better balanced, the combustion system is more stable, and the modification cost (ignition coil and spark plug) is greatly reduced.
And (3) igniting the negative electrode: in brief, when the center electrode of the spark plug is negative, the corresponding spark plug side electrode is positive, and a 1 × 1 type ignition coil is taken as an example, the schematic diagram is shown in fig. 1 as follows:
upon ignition of the negative electrode, particles, one electron and one positively charged ion, are formed in the gap between the central electrode and the side electrode. At the moment, the central end is a negative electrode, the side electrode end is a positive electrode, so electrons bombard the side electrode from the central electrode, positive ions bombard the central electrode from the side electrode, and because the electron mass is very light and can be ignored, and the ion mass is relatively large, the central electrode is relatively seriously burnt when bombarding the central electrode.
And (4) positive electrode ignition: in short, the center electrode of the spark plug is positive, and the corresponding spark plug side electrode is negative. Taking the 1x2 type ignition coil as an example, the schematic diagram is shown in fig. 2 as follows:
fig. 2 shows a 1x2 ignition mode in which the ignition coil is fitted to a spark plug, and the 1x2 ignition coil has 2 high-voltage outputs, one of which transmits high voltage to the spark plug through a rubber connecting rod, and this end is referred to as positive ignition. The other high voltage output of the ignition coil delivers high voltage to the spark plug through an external high voltage lead, which end is diagrammatically referred to as positive ignition. For the negative ignition, the above is explicitly stated and will not be described in detail. For positive ignition, when the positive electrode is ignited, particles, one being electrons and one being positively charged ions, are formed in the gap between the central electrode and the side electrode. At the moment, the central end is a positive electrode, and the side electrode end is a negative electrode, so electrons bombard the central electrode by the side electrode, positive ions bombard the side electrode by the central electrode, and because the electron mass is very light and can be ignored, and the ion mass is relatively large, the side electrode is relatively seriously burnt when bombarding the side electrode.
According to the state of the ignition system of the original vehicle type, the differential design of the cylinders is carried out, and the detailed design scheme is as follows:
taking a 4-cylinder engine as an example, there are generally three ignition schemes for a conventional four-cylinder gasoline engine:
scheme one is that 2x2 type ignition coils (2 independent coils are arranged in the coil, each coil has 2 high voltage output ends, which can be understood as two 1x2 ignition coils are combined together), 1 set of high voltage lead (4) is added, and 4 spark plugs are added. The technology of the scheme is relatively lagged behind, the output capacity of the coil is low, and the technology is gradually eliminated.
Scheme II: 2 1-2 type ignition coils (only 1 coil inside the coil, 2 high-voltage output ends), 1 set of high-voltage wires (2), and 4 spark plugs. According to the scheme, each cylinder is ignited, 2 cylinders are used as positive electrodes for ignition, 2 cylinders are used as negative electrodes for ignition, the system voltage of the positive electrode ignition cylinder is high, a spark plug has the risk of being broken down, meanwhile, the system voltage is high, insulation of ignition parts is also a large challenge, and therefore the 1x2 type ignition coil gradually exits from a historical stage.
The third scheme is as follows: 4 ignition coils of 1x1 type, plus 4 spark plugs. According to the scheme, ignition of each cylinder is negative ignition, the system voltage is relatively low, and the risk of system failure is small. This scheme is currently the mainstream scheme.
Because the technology of the first scheme is relatively lagged behind, each cylinder in the third scheme is ignited by a negative electrode, the inventor focuses on the scheme of reforming the CNG ignition system from the second scheme.
CNG is reformed from a traditional gasoline engine with a scheme II (1-2 type ignition coil) because two cylinders are used for positive ignition and two cylinders are used for negative ignition in the scheme. For two cylinders with ignited positive electrodes, burning loss of side electrodes of the spark plug is serious, the burning loss of the center electrode is less influenced, after the side electrodes are burnt, a gap between the center electrode and the side electrodes is enlarged, the system voltage is also relatively increased, and when the system voltage exceeds the compression-resistant grade of the spark plug, the ceramic in the spark plug is broken down and fails. From the above analysis, it is known that if the risk of failure of the positive ignition cylinder is to be reduced, what needs to be improved is the burning loss condition of the side electrode of the spark plug, and the electrode is made of common nickel alloy (the cost is low), the burning loss resistance is poor, if the head of the side electrode is made of noble metal, the burning loss resistance is good, the increase of the gap between the central electrode and the side electrode is effectively inhibited, and the risk of failure of the ignition system is greatly reduced. For a negative ignition cylinder, the burning loss of a central electrode of a spark plug is serious, the burning loss of a side electrode is less influenced, after the central electrode is burnt, the gap between the central electrode and the side electrode is enlarged, the system voltage is also relatively enlarged, and when the system voltage exceeds the compression-resistant grade of the spark plug, the ceramic in the spark plug is broken down and fails. From the above analysis, it is found that if the risk of failure of the negative ignition cylinder is to be reduced, it is necessary to improve the burning loss of the center electrode of the spark plug, and the electrode is made of a common nickel alloy (low cost), and the burning loss resistance is poor.
For review: in the second scheme (1-2 type ignition coil), CNG is reformed from the traditional gasoline engine, only the head of the electrode at the side of the spark plug of the positive ignition cylinder is required to be changed into a noble metal material, and the central electrode is made of a nickel alloy material; the central electrode tip of the spark plug of the negative ignition cylinder is made of noble metal, and the side electrode is made of nickel alloy. By adopting the design of cylinder differentiation, the ignition voltage level of each cylinder can be better balanced, the combustion system is more stable, and the modification cost (ignition coil and spark plug) is greatly reduced. When the ignition device is installed, only the parts of the positive and negative ignition cylinders need to be marked correspondingly to prevent errors.
Only the side electrode is added with a needle-shaped noble metal material, the center electrode still adopts a common nickel alloy material, the market does not have the proposal, and the scheme is also the protection scope of the patent.
The invention has the following beneficial effects: according to the invention, through the differentiated design of the spark plugs of the cylinders, the head part of the side electrode of the spark plug of the positive ignition cylinder is made of a noble metal material, and the center electrode is made of a common nickel alloy material, so that the failure risk of the positive ignition cylinder can be reduced, and the modification cost (an ignition coil and the spark plug) is greatly reduced. At present, two main spark plug electrode materials are available in the market, wherein one spark plug electrode material is only a noble metal material at the head part of a center electrode and a side electrode type common nickel alloy material; the other is that the head parts of the central electrode and the side electrodes are made of noble metal, which is a good method, but the cost is relatively high. For the CNG project reformed from the traditional gasoline engine, on the premise of reducing the risk of system failure, the differential design of the spark plugs is adopted, so that the cost reduction is brought to a host factory, and meanwhile, the fault damage of engine parts and unpredictable dangers of the whole vehicle and drivers caused by the failure of an ignition system are effectively reduced.
It is clear that the specific implementation of the invention is not restricted to the above-described embodiments, but that various insubstantial modifications of the inventive process concept and technical solutions are within the scope of protection of the invention.
