Definitions
- the invention relates to the supply of a resonator by voltages greater than 200 V and frequencies greater than 1 MHz and in particular the supply of resonators used in controlled ignitions.
- resonators For a plasma-generation automotive ignition application, resonators whose resonant frequency is greater than 1 MHz are arranged at the spark plug and are typically supplied with voltages greater than 200 V and subjected to an intensity greater than 1OA.
- This application requires the use of radio frequency resonators having a high quality factor and a high voltage generator whose operating frequency is very close to the resonance frequency of the resonator.
- the higher the quality factor of the resonator the higher the operating frequency of the generator must be close to its resonant frequency.
- the invention aims to solve this drawback.
- the invention thus proposes a device for controlling a power supply of a radiofrequency ignition of a combustion engine, comprising:
- a memory module storing relationships between measurement signals and the frequency of a control signal to be generated
- a module determining the frequency of a control signal to be generated as a function of measurement signals received on the reception interface and relationships stored in the memory module;
- the invention also relates to a radiofrequency ignition supply, comprising: a control device as described above;
- a supply circuit having a switch controlled by the control signal of the control device, the switch applying an intermediate voltage to an output of the circuit power supply at the frequency defined by the control signal.
- the invention further relates to an ignition system, comprising: - a power supply as described above;
- a resonator having a resonant frequency greater than 1 MHz, connected to the output of the supply circuit and comprising two electrodes, the resonator being able to generate a plasma between the two electrodes when a high voltage level is applied on the output of the supply circuit.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an ignition system incorporating a control device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a control device according to the invention.
- the invention proposes a device for controlling a power supply of a radiofrequency ignition of a combustion engine.
- the control device takes into account the operating parameter measurement signals of the combustion engine and determines the frequency of the ignition control signal to be generated as a function of relationships stored between measurement signals and the frequency of the control signal.
- this Frequency will be maintained very precisely at a value close to the resonance frequency of the resonator. Frequency loop control is thus performed in an open loop.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an ignition system 1, comprising a control device 2 according to the invention.
- the control device 2 is connected to an amplifier 3.
- the amplifier 3 is connected to the gate of a power MOSFET transistor 4.
- the transistor 4 acts as a switch controlled by the control signal of the device 2.
- the switch 4 is intended to allow the application of a high level of voltage between the terminals of the electrodes at a frequency defined by the control signal.
- a series resonator 5 is connected between the drain of transistor 4 and a ground.
- the resonator 5 comprises a resistor 51 in series with an inductance 52, and a resistor 53 in parallel with a capacitance 54.
- the resistors 51 and 53 are equivalent resistances resulting in particular from the imperfection of the capacitors 52 and 54. 7 and 8 are connected across the capacitor 54.
- a resonant circuit 6 is connected between an intermediate voltage source and the drain of the transistor 4. This circuit 6 comprises an inductor 61 and a capacitor 62.
- the device 2 comprises an interface 21 for receiving signals for measuring operating parameters of the combustion engine.
- Engine operating parameters measured include engine oil temperature, engine coolant temperature, engine torque, engine speed, ignition angle, intake air temperature. pressure at the collector, atmospheric pressure or pressure in the combustion chamber. These types of measurements can be carried out in a manner known per se by a person skilled in the art.
- the device 2 furthermore comprises an interface 22 for receiving signals for measuring operating parameters of the power supply, receiving for example a measurement of the voltage at the terminals of the electrodes or a measurement of the intermediate voltage applied to the circuit 6.
- the device 2 comprises a memory module 26 in which are stored relations between the measurement signals and the frequency of a control signal to be generated. These relationships can be established based on pre-tests.
- the memory module 26 can store the relationships as a function associating predetermined measurement signals with a single control signal frequency. For example, a linear function or a polynomial function can be extrapolated according to the results of prior tests on a resonator by varying the different parameters taken into account.
- the memory module can also store the relationships as a multidimensional array having as input measurement signals.
- the module 26 stores relationships providing a control frequency according to a temperature measurement in the vicinity of the resonator 5 and measurements of electrical operating parameters of the power supply. These relationships can be established based on prior tests establishing the effect of temperature on the resonance frequency of the resonator 5.
- the device 2 comprises a module 25 determining the frequency of the control signal to be generated as a function of the measurement signals received and the relationships stored in the memory 26.
- the frequency of the control signal is supplied by the module 25 to a module 27, applying the control signal at said frequency on an output interface 24.
- the module 27 is for example a clock generator appropriately chosen by those skilled in the art.
- the programming interface 23 makes it possible to receive and execute commands for modifying the relationships or parameters of the resonator stored in the memory module 26.
- the programming interface 23 can notably be a wireless communication interface. Thus, it is conceivable to update the relationships stored in the module 26. Thus, if a better knowledge of the behavior of the resonator is acquired, the operation of the ignition system can be optimized after delivery.
- the programming interface 23 makes it possible to program the module 26 from electrical parameter values (for example the resonance frequency) of a resonator 5 measured at the factory.
- a code The bar may be associated with the resonator 5 to code the determined electrical parameter values, this bar code being read to write these values in the module 26 when the resonator is connected to the device 2. Thus, the manufacturing dispersions of the resonators 5 will not affect the accuracy of the generated control frequency.
- the ignition system typically comprises a series resonator 5 whose frequency is greater than 1
