Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'allumage électronique dont le but est d'activer la combustion en apportant dans la chambre de combustion une décharge formée de multiétincelles haute-fréquence ozonisantes pendant tout le temps de l'ouverture des rupteurs permettant ainsi de tirer la quintessence du pouvoir énergétique du mélange air-essence réduisant considérablement la consommation du carburant et diminuant la pollution atmosphérique.The present invention relates to an electronic ignition device the purpose of which is to activate combustion by bringing into the combustion chamber a discharge formed of high-frequency ozonizing multi-sparks during the whole time of the opening of the switches thus allowing derive the quintessence of the energy power from the air-petrol mixture considerably reducing fuel consumption and reducing air pollution.
On connait déjà des installations d'allumage électrique dont l'étincelle d'allumage entre les électrodes des bougies est obtenue par l'interruption brusque d'un courant continu dans l'enroulement primaire d'une bobine d'allumage. Ce système permet d'obtenir qu'une seule étincells à la fois et de ce fait la combustion s'éffectue de façon plus ou moins complète.Electric ignition systems are already known whose ignition spark between the spark plug electrodes is obtained by the sudden interruption of a direct current in the primary winding of an ignition coil. This system makes it possible to obtain only one spark at a time and therefore combustion takes place in a more or less complete manner.
La forme d'exécution du dispositif selon l'inventac. est décrite ci-après à l'aide de deux dessins. La figure 1 est une vue générale du dispositif an coupeThe embodiment of the device according to the inventac. is described below using two drawings. Figure 1 is a general view of the device in section
La figure 2 est un schéma de principe du modul électronique homogène de la figure 1 est un transformateau largement colould pour résister aux courants de frites internes et externes, il est enrobé dans une résine solide à haut pouvoir isolant 1 et est renfermé dans une carcasse en alliage d'aluminium 2 munie d'fillettes pour activer son refroidissement., A la partie supérieure de l'ensemble est serti un mandrin de sortie à haut pouvoir isolant 3 dans lequel est connecté le fil de sortie de la haute-tension 4 .Figure 2 is a block diagram of the electronic module homogeneous of figure 1 is a transformateau largely colould to resist the currents of internal and external fries, it is coated in a solid resin with high
A la partie inférieure de la carcasse en aluminium est aménagé un logement dans lequel est disposé le module électronique 5 fixé à l'ensemblre par la plaque support cylindrique en aluminium 6 sur laquelle sont montés les transistors 7 et 8 permettant ainsi une dissipation thermique optimale.At the lower part of the aluminum carcass is housed a housing in which is disposed the

Sur la face avant inférieure de l'ensemble se trouve un orifice 10 par lequel sortent deux fils de connexion 11 et 12 un fil rouge pour l'alimen--tation positive 12 volts et un fil noir allant au rupteur sur lequel peut se brancher le fil du compte-tours électronique. Un fil de masse vert et jaune 13 permet de relier la carcasse métallique de l'ensemble à la masse du moteur.On the lower front face of the assembly is an
En se référant au schéma de principe de la figure 2 on constate que le module électronique objet de l'invention' consiste en un circuit oscillant haute-fréquence fonctionnant pendant tout le temps d'ouverture du rupteur qu'il soit à contacts ou à cellule magnétique.Referring to the block diagram of Figure 2 we see that the electronic module object of the invention 'consists of a high-frequency oscillating circuit operating during all the time opening the contactor or magnetic cell.
Le circuit oscillant haute-fréquence est constitué d'un transistor PNP T1 fonctionnant comme transistor pilote et d'un transistor NPN T2 en montage Darlington fonctionnant en commutation.The high-frequency oscillating circuit consists of a PNP transistor T1 operating as a pilot transistor and an NPN transistor T2 in Darlington circuit operating in switching mode.
Lorsque le rupteur est fermé et par conséquent à la masse, un courant s'écoule du p8le positif B à travers les circuits D1, R1, R2,D4, provoquant la polarisa--tion de la base du transistor pilote T1. De ce fait le courant de base du transistor T1, peut s'écouler du pôle positif B à travers la diode D1, le transistor T1, la résistance R2 équipé de son condensateur de filtrage C1 monté en parallèle et la diode D4 .When the breaker is closed and consequently to ground, a current flows from the positive pole B through the circuits D1, R1, R2, D4, causing the polarization of the base of the pilot transistor T1. Therefore the base current of the transistor T1, can flow from the positive pole B through the diode D1, the transistor T1, the resistor R2 equipped with its filtering capacitor C1 mounted in parallel and the diode D4.
Le transistor pilote T1 se trouve alors saturé, devient conducteur, et fait apparaitre au point commun des résistances R3 et R6 dans le circuit collecteur du transistor pilote T1, une tension positive appliquée à la base du transistor T2 Darlin--gton qui commute et délivre un courant permanent dans l'enroulement primaire du transformateur TR1.The pilot transistor T1 is then saturated, becomes conductive, and makes appear at the common point of the resistors R3 and R6 in the collector circuit of the pilot transistor T1, a positive voltage applied to the base of the transistor Darlin - gton which switches and delivers a permanent current in the primary winding of the transformer TR1.
Lorsque le rupteur s'ouvre la tension base-émetteur du transistor pilote T1 tombe et en même temps le courant de collecteur, ce qui bloque le transistor T2. De ce fait l'impulsion négative produite par le transformateur TR1 au collecteur du transistor T2 est appliquée à la base du transistor T1 à travers un premier circuit de réaction composé d'une résis--tance R7 et d'un condensateur C5, ce qui rend conducteur le transistor pilote T1 et qui permet le débloquage du transistor Darlington T2. Lorsque l'impulsion de réaction est terminée le transistor T1 est à nouveau bloqué, ce qui rebloque le transistor T2. De ce fait le circuit oscilla aussi longtemps que le rupteur reste ouvert. La fréquence du circuit oscillant est déterminée par les valeurs du premier circuit de réaction composé de R7 et C5 conjuguées aux valeurs du deuxième circuit de réaction composé de R3, R4, et C4. Elle se situe à environ cinq kilo--hertz et provoque une fulguration de multiétincelles dissipant aux bougies une grande quantité d'ozone activant la combustion tout en réduisant la pollution atmosphérique.When the breaker opens, the base-emitter voltage of the pilot transistor T1 falls and at the same time the collector current, which blocks the transistor T2. As a result, the negative pulse produced by the transformer TR1 at the collector of the transistor T2 is applied to the base of the transistor T1 through a first feedback circuit composed of a resistor R7 and a capacitor C5, which makes the pilot transistor T1 conductive and which allows the unlocking of the Darlington transistor T2. When the reaction pulse is finished the transistor T1 is again blocked, which restarts the transistor T2. As a result, the circuit oscillates as long as the breaker remains open. The frequency of the oscillating circuit is determined by the values of the first reaction circuit composed of R7 and C5 combined with the values of the second reaction circuit composed of R3, R4, and C4. It is about five kilo - hertz and causes a flash of multi - sparks dissipating a large amount of ozone by candles, activating combustion while reducing atmospheric pollution.
Différentes protections ont été insérées dans les circuits suivants :
- 1°- deux diodes D1 et D4 évitent les risques d'inversion de polarité au montage
- 2°- le transistor de puissance T2 est protégé contre les surtensions par deux diodes zéner D5 et D6
- 3°- les condensateurs C2, C3, C4, la diode D3, la résistance R5 protègent les différents circuits
- 4°- le thermistor PTC R3 en série avec la résistance R4 protège le circuit en cas d'oubli du contact enclanché avec le moteur arrêté. Sa résistance augmente brusquement lorsque la température atteint une valeur maximum admissible.
- 1 ° - two diodes D1 and D4 avoid the risks of reverse polarity during assembly
- 2 ° - the power transistor T2 is protected against overvoltages by two zener diodes D5 and D6
- 3 ° - the capacitors C2, C3, C4, the diode D3, the resistor R5 protect the different circuits
- 4 ° - the PTC R3 thermistor in series with the R4 resistor protects the circuit in the event of forgetting the contact engaged with the engine stopped. Its resistance increases suddenly when the temperature reaches a maximum admissible value.
Pour permettre l'adaptation des compte-tours électro--niques il a été inséré une bobine à noyeau magnétique B1 de petite taille placée directement sur le circuit imprimé du module électronique. Cette bobine est connectée entre le pôle positif B et la sortie C . Elle produit les impulsions de tension nécessaires au bon fonctionnement des compte-tours électroniques (RPM).To allow the adaptation of the electronic tachometer, a small size magnetic coil B1 has been inserted directly on the printed circuit of the electronic module. This coil is connected between the positive pole B and the output C. It produces the voltage pulses necessary for the proper functioning of the electronic tachometer (RPM).
