Definitions

  • Transformation device for generating an ignition voltage for internal combustion engines
  • the present invention relates to a transformation device according to the preamble of claim 1 for generating an ignition voltage for internal combustion engines.
  • a transformation device has a primary winding to which a primary voltage can be applied, a secondary winding in which a secondary voltage can be induced, a ferromagnetic core which is arranged in the primary winding and the secondary winding, and an electrode which faces one end of the ferromagnetic core, which is connected to the secondary winding and which can be connected to a spark gap.
  • Such a transformation device is known for example from DE 101 43 055 A1.
  • the primary and secondary windings, the ferromagnetic core and the electrode are accommodated in a housing and potted with casting compound.
  • the housing is open at one end and can be plugged directly onto a spark plug that is screwed into an engine block.
  • This has the advantage that high-voltage leads to the spark gap and the associated EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) problems can be avoided.
  • Further prior art is disclosed in the patents US 6 522 232 B2, EP 1 284 488 A2, EP 0 827 163 A2, DE 101 02 342 A1, US 6 191 674 B1, GB 725 722 and US 2 107 973.
  • transformation devices are arranged in the engine block, typically in depressions in the cylinder head, they must necessarily be designed to be small and compact.
  • the compactness of such transformation devices is becoming increasingly important, since internal combustion engines for motor vehicles, in particular for passenger cars and in the field of motorsport, are being designed to be smaller and smaller in relation to their performance.
  • the generation of high secondary voltages in a confined space in turn inevitably leads to strong electric fields within the transformation device. So that there is no electrical breakdown between components with different electrical potential, these must be effectively insulated from one another.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a transformation device in which the aging of the insulating materials is slowed down. According to a first aspect of the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1, as will be explained in more detail below. Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims.
  • the inventors identified partial discharge phenomena in small, sometimes microscopic cavities as the main cause of the aging of the insulating materials. Such cavities in the insulating materials can occur in transformation devices of the type mentioned for various reasons. Cavities, so-called blowholes, can occur in casting materials when incompletely degassed casting resins or through chemical side reactions. Furthermore, gaps can occur at interfaces between different insulating materials, for example due to thermo-mechanical stress. Finally, in the case of large electrical loads, so-called “electrical treeing" can produce elongated, branched cavities parallel to the direction of the field.
  • a gas discharge process which interacts with the insulating material is characteristic of partial discharges in cavities.
  • the gas discharge process changes the surface of the insulating material by chemical decomposition and erosion by the associated charge carrier bombardment and UV radiation, which ultimately leads to the aging of the insulating material.
  • the partial discharge is ignited by the presence of a so-called starting electron, provided that the existing electric field strength exceeds a threshold value, the so-called insertion field strength.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that partial discharges and thus the aging of the insulating material can be suppressed if the electrical field, which is caused by the secondary voltage between the electrode and the opposite end of the ferromagnetic core, is everywhere below the field strength for partial discharges. In the present invention, this is achieved by facing the electrode. i te end of the ferromagnetic core has a continuously curved transition between the lateral surface and the end face.
  • an edge between the lateral surface and the end surface is avoided, and thus a locally increased field strength in the region of such an edge, which is attributable to an increased charge carrier density in the edge region, is also avoided ,
  • the probability of partial discharges occurring in the region of the end of the ferromagnetic core is significantly reduced in practice, and the aging of the insulating material is significantly slowed down.
  • the electrode is preferably concave on its side facing the core. This causes an equalization and homogenization of the electric field between the ferromagnetic core and the electrode and thus also a reduction in the local field strengths, as will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.
  • each of the two features is suitable for reducing the strength of the electric field between the electrode and the ferromagnetic core. Seen in this way, both features enable the task to be solved individually. A particularly good result is obtained by combining both features.
  • the end of the ferromagnetic core described in the characterizing part of the main claim with a continuous transition between the outer surface and the end surface can be obtained by rounding off a cylindrical or angular magnetic core at its end facing the electrode.
  • This rounding of the end of a magnetic core is not known in the prior art.
  • the core consists of layers which are electrically insulated from one another to avoid eddy currents and which would be torn apart when the end of the core was machined by turning or grinding.
  • the inventors have succeeded in connecting the layers of the ferromagnetic core so firmly that machining of the end of the ferromagnetic core is possible without separating the layers.
  • the ends of the ferromagnetic core are formed by permanent magnets.
  • the continuously curved transition between the lateral surface and the end surface described above is achieved by suitable rounding off at least the permanent magnet on the side of the ferromagnetic core facing the electrode.
  • Such rounded permanent magnets are also unusual because permanent magnets are usually produced in a sintering process in extruded profiles and then broken into tablet form.
  • the end face of the ferromagnetic core opposite the electrode is preferably convex.
  • the curvature of the convex end face preferably increases with increasing distance from the central axis of the ferromagnetic core.
  • the curvature of the convex end face in the area of the central axis i.e. in the area which protrudes most towards the electrode, which reduces the surface charge density compared to areas of greater curvature and therefore also reduces the electric field strength in this area.
  • the electrode has a cup-shaped section, the opening of which faces the ferromagnetic core. Due to the cup shape, the electric field between the electrode and the ferro- on the one hand, the magnetic core is distributed over a larger spatial area and thus, to a certain extent, equalized, as a result of which the field strength is reduced, on the other hand, the field strength is spatially homogenized, thereby preventing the occurrence of locally increased field strengths.
  • This effect of the cup-shaped section of the electrode is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.
  • the cup-shaped section has a bottom section which is arranged transversely to the central axis of the ferromagnetic core and a wall section which surrounds a space located between the bottom section and the end face of the ferromagnetic element, where the distance between each point on the part of the surface of the wall section facing the ferromagnetic core and the ferromagnetic core is 0.5 to 2.5 times, preferably 0.75 to 1.8 times the distance between the bottom section and the intersection of the end face with the central axis of the ferromagnetic core.
  • This arrangement generates a field which is sufficiently homogeneous for practical purposes and which effectively contributes to avoiding partial discharges.
  • the transformation device preferably has a sleeve-shaped secondary winding support on which the secondary winding is arranged and which is closed at one end with the cup-shaped section.
  • the spaces between the components of the transformation device are electrically insulated.
  • potting compound containing a synthetic resin and a filler.
  • the filler has the function, inter alia, of adapting the thermal expansion coefficient of the casting compound to the thermal expansion coefficient of the components, for example the expansion coefficient of the metal of the electrode.
  • the probability of partial discharges occurring in the insulating material, i.e. in this case in the potting compound, according to a second aspect of the invention is substantially reduced in that the dielectric constant of the filler is 0.5 times to 1.5 times, preferably 0.8 times to 1.25 times and is particularly preferably 0.9 times to 1.2 times the dielectric constant of the synthetic resin.
  • the inventors have found that the spatial distribution of the filler in the casting compound is not necessarily homogeneous or not everywhere. For example, an increased filler concentration can occur on the surface of the secondary winding, while only the pure synthetic resin is present between the turns of the secondary winding because the spaces between the turns of the secondary winding are too small for the filler particles to penetrate into them.
  • the secondary winding acts as a filter for the filler.
  • the dielectric constant of the filler differs considerably from that of the synthetic resin in conventional casting compounds, spatial fluctuations in the concentration of the filler lead to spatial fluctuations in the dielectric constant of the casting compound.
  • the spatial fluctuations in the dielectric constant in turn lead to spatial fluctuations in the electrical field which the potting compound penetrates, since the strength of the electrical field is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the dielectric which it penetrates.
  • the spatial fluctuations in the electrical field strength have a threefold effect on the aging behavior of the insulating material, ie the casting compound. First, they cause locally increased electrical field strengths, which can lead to partial discharges in cavities. Secondly, mechanical forces occur in places where the field strength also changes suddenly due to a sudden change in the dielectric constant. Since these forces are continuously applied during operation of the transformation device, they stress the material in the long term, and the bond between the materials is gradually weakened, which can cause gaps in which partial discharges can then take place.
  • the inventors have found in experimental studies that the spatial fluctuations in the electric field strength, which are based on an inhomogeneous distribution of the filler, not only cause cavities to form, but also significantly accelerate the growth of existing cavities or defects in the insulating material in practice.
  • the insulating material is eroded by partial discharges in cavities. This erosion leads to a growth of the cavities, which is known, for example, as "electrical treeing". This growth takes place the faster, the more often flat charges occur in the cavity. If the electric field strength fluctuates spatially due to an inhomogeneous filler distribution, locally increased field strengths occur that can ignite partial discharges and accelerate the growth of the cavity.
  • the spatial distribution of the fillers is statistical in nature and is therefore not only inhomogeneous but also microscopically disordered.
  • the disorder or indefiniteness of the distribution of the filler concentration leads to a disordered distribution of locally excessive electrical field strengths, which in turn leads to partial discharges in different sections of a expanding cavity and enables its growth in different directions.
  • the disorderly distribution of locally increased field strengths results in far more possibilities for the growth of cavities due to partial discharges than is the case, for example, with an increase in the electric field occurring along a defined interface between two different dielectrics. As a result, the cavities can spread more easily and quickly due to the disorderly field elevation.
  • the inventors have recognized that the spatial fluctuations in the filler concentration are responsible for the formation of defects in the insulating material, for the occurrence of partial discharges in existing defects and for the accelerated growth of the defects, and thus accelerate the aging of the insulating material.
  • This cause of accelerated aging can be effectively prevented in the manner described above by matching the dielectric constants of the filler and the synthetic resin. If the dielectric constants of the filler and the synthetic resin differ from one another only to the extent described, the dielectric constant of the casting compound as a whole is approximately homogeneous even if the filler is not homogeneously distributed in the synthetic resin. In this way, partial discharges in the casting compound are avoided even when the filler is inhomogeneously distributed, and the formation and growth of defects is suppressed, whereby the aging of the casting compound is effectively delayed.
  • the above-mentioned components, the spaces between which are filled with the sealing compound, can include one or more of the following parts: a primary winding support, a secondary winding support, an electrode which is connected to a secondary winding and can be connected to a spark gap, a ferromagnetic core and / or a metal case.
  • the dielectric constant of the plastic in an advantageous development is 0.5 times to 1.5 times, preferably 0.8 times to 1.25 times and particularly preferably 0.9 -fold up to 1.2 times the dielectric constant of the casting compound. This avoids an excessive jump in the dielectric constant at the interface between the sealing compound and the component together with the negative consequences described above.
  • the synthetic resin is an epoxy resin and the filler quartz.
  • Another aspect of the invention is directed to the electromagnetic compatibility of the transformation device.
  • the inventors have found in simulations and experimental EMC tests that the spark is the primary source of electromagnetic interference.
  • a conductive layer which is connected to the ground potential, is arranged between the primary winding and the secondary winding. This prevents the interference caused by the ignition spark by capacitive coupling between the secondary winding and the primary winding is transmitted to the on-board network of a motor vehicle connected to the primary winding. This effectively prevents malfunctions in electronic control devices which are connected to the on-board network.
  • the conductive layer is preferably arranged directly adjacent to the primary winding. As a result, the conductive layer is at a maximum distance from the secondary winding. The strength of the electric field between the conductive layer and the secondary winding can thereby be kept low.
  • the conductive layer can be formed by a film or applied to a carrier material, in particular vapor-deposited or printed on.
  • the secondary winding is preferably arranged at least partially within the primary winding.
  • This arrangement in which the secondary winding is on the inside and the primary winding is on the outside, leads to a reduced electric field strength in the interior of the transformation device and helps to avoid partial discharges in comparison with the usual, reverse arrangement with the same diameter of the transformation device.
  • the transformation device preferably has a sleeve-like primary winding support on which the primary winding is arranged.
  • the above-mentioned conductive layer is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the primary winding carrier.
