Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of supplying an electric spark plug to an electrical voltage ensuring the generation of a branched ignition spark, in particular of an internal combustion engine.
- the present invention aims at avoiding the performance limitations of the solutions of the prior art.
- Another object is to significantly increase the degree of branching of the radiofrequency spark (that is to say the total number of filaments simultaneously generated) and thus increase this spark and therefore its ignition efficiency of the mixture coming into its environment.
- a proposed solution to at least tend towards this (these) goal (s) is that the power supply of the candle (in particular radiofrequency) comprises a stage of increase in stages (with thus at least such a step), until to the appropriate ignition voltage, the supply voltage of this candle.
- the electrical energy supply means of the spark plug be adapted to generate a first spark ignition voltage and, for then, increasing this first electrical voltage step (s) until said adapted ignition voltage.
- FIG. 1 a radiofrequency (RF) resonant candle 1 mounted on the cylinder head 3 of an internal combustion engine 5 is seen.
- the tip 1a of the spark plug opens into the combustion chamber 7 of the engine where the mixture is injected to ignite.
- This RF plasma candle 1 is excited by a low voltage RF power supply 9 driven by a computer 11 on board the vehicle provided with said engine. Each multi-filament spark 13 is thus formed from the single tip of the candle.
- the electric voltage U applied to the spark plug increases continuously so that the thin electric channels 13 are formed from the tip of the candle.
- such a multi-filament structure is, during the next phase 15b (between t_1 and t_2 fig.1 ), heated up to a few thousand ° C by the electric current supplied by the controlled RF power supply 9.
- the voltage (substantially Um ) applied to the candle remains (approximately) constant throughout this second phase.
- the hot filaments cause ignition of the mixture in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine to which the combustion chamber 7 is associated.
- the length L (of the order of one cm; fig.1 ) filaments 13 formed at the end of the phase 15b1 depends only on the maximum amplitude of the voltage U applied to the tip la.
- the amplitude of the RF voltage Um corresponding to the maximum electrical voltage (or adapted ignition voltage) applied to the tip of the spark plug, is kept stable (constant), the length of the filaments 13 and their number do not change anymore or almost no longer.
- the degree of branching that is to say the number of bifurcation points, such as those identified 13a, 13b figure 1
- the filaments formed during the formation phase are rather straight with few bifurcation points (2-3 at most, typically) which limits the size of the spark.
- the inventors propose to modify the power supply mode of the RF candle 1, as illustrated in particular. figure 3 .
- the RF power supply stabilizes the amplitude of the applied voltage and maintains it substantially at U1 for a few ⁇ s (from 2 to 5 ⁇ s in the proposed embodiment) until time t_20.
- the value U1 of the voltage at this first voltage bearing 17.1 will be just necessary for the formation, at the free end 1a of the electrode, of electrical filaments from this end.
- the RF supply increases again (continuously) the amplitude of the voltage of the spark plug, up to the intermediate voltage U2 (with of course U2 greater than U1 ).
- the difference of voltages between the zero voltage and. that U1 of the first voltage stage will be greater than the difference of electrical voltages between the voltage U1 of the first voltage stage and the said matched ignition voltage Um , as shown schematically fig.3,4 .
- the diameter of the ionized filaments 130 (typically of the order of 50-100 ⁇ m) is substantially smaller than that of the tip (typically of the order of 500 ⁇ m)
- the tip typically of the order of 500 ⁇ m
- the new filaments, marked 130 "b” always figure 3 , originate from the ends of filaments "a” and not from the tip of the candle.
- the RF supply further increases the voltage of the candle 1a, causing the birth of the 3rd generation of the filaments 130 "c" from the ends of the filaments of the previous generation.
- such a multi-filamentary structure is, during the next phase 150b, heated (as above) until to a few thousand ° C by the electric current supplied by the controlled RF power supply 9.
- the voltage (Um) applied to the candle remains (substantially) constant throughout this second phase, as shown fig.3 .
- the hot filaments cause the ignition of the mixture in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine to which the combustion chamber 7 is associated.
- a duration of voltage steps between two increases in voltage (such as t_10 - t_20 and t_30 - t_40) will be applied greater than the time interval between two successive increments of increase of said voltage (such as t_20 - t_30).
- the electric power supply means 9, 11 will have been adapted in relation to the previous situation of the fig.2 for, as and when the bearings 17.1 ... beyond the first ignition voltage U1 spark, generate the creation of new branches 130b ... at the end (round (s) full ( s)) of the electric spark created at the first landing.
- the spark 130 generally formed in this way is characterized by a much higher degree of branching than in the case of the conventional excitation schematized fig.2 .
