Definitions
- the invention relates to an ignition device with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such an ignition device is known from WO 96/13660 A. It is a Spark To Piston "Device in which the piston electrode protrudes slightly from the piston crown and is aligned with the counter electrode, which is located approximately in the center of the combustion chamber. Such a device is particularly unsuitable for igniting extremely lean mixtures, since the spark gap only There is a minimal distance at the top dead center of the piston .. Whether an ignition spark actually forms depends on various factors that differ over the entire operating range of the internal combustion engine, including a sufficiently ignitable mixture, the operating temperature, the ignition energy and the slope for the structure of the secondary voltage.
- the invention has for its object an ignition device of the aforementioned To create a type that is sure to be a winner even with extremely lean mixtures Triggers ignition process.
- the Length of the spark gap for a period of time that is longer than the ignition duration and includes this period of time keep it at least approximately constant. While During this time, the piston and counter electrodes lead over a certain path of the counter electrode a relative movement through. This allows the time at which the ignition actually takes place, variable at least within certain limits be chosen on the movement of the piston. The time can therefore be sent to the be adapted to the respective operating conditions and in accordance with these conditions vary.
- the device described with the features of claim 3 draws compared to an alternative device, in which also the counter electrode is characterized by a simple construction.
- Cylinder 1 In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 is in one Cylinder 1 is a piston 2, which is movable by a drive 3. In the bottom 4 of the piston 2 there is a piston electrode 5 which emerges from the bottom as shown protrudes.
- a counter-electrode 6 is assigned to the electrode 5 and is connected via a high-voltage supply 7 and a high-voltage connection 8 with a not shown Ignition coil is connected.
- the electrode 5 moves during the movement of the piston 2 past the counter electrode 6.
- the electrode 5 moves during a period which is before the top dead center of the piston 2 shown in FIG. 2 and ends significantly after this point in time, there is a constant minimum distance between electrodes 5 and 6.
- an ignition spark if the high-voltage connection 8 is actuated accordingly with which it is possible to ignite particularly lean mixtures.
- the piston electrode 15 is a support point in the piston crown educated. It consists of an electrically conductive cap 17 on a Isolator 18 sits. The insulator 18 is fastened in the piston crown. A spark that forms between the piston crown 4 and the counter electrode 6, overcomes now two insulation sections 19 and 20, namely between the counter electrode 6 and the cap 17 on the one hand (19) and between the cap 17 and the bottom 4 (20). The overall path to be overcome is significantly less than at least minimum distance 21 existing during the ignition process the counter electrode 6 and the bottom 4.
- the ignition devices shown are therefore particularly suitable for use in Internal combustion engines with gasoline direct injection, where only an ignitable locally Mixture is present.
