  • Optimizing the development of the spark of the radiofrequency candle requires that it be possible to make up part of the disconnection of the system due to the formation of the spark, in order to get as close as possible to the new resonance conditions of the assembly.
  • the invention proposes for this purpose to modify in real time the frequency of the control signal Vl of the switch M, controlling the application of the excitation signal V2 of the resonator 10 of the radiofrequency plug at the output of the supply circuit 20 during the application of this excitation signal.
  • One embodiment is to change the control frequency during an excitation train, according to a sudden offset of the frequency, imposed substantially at the time of the formation of the spark (just before or just after the establishment of the spark ).
  • this frequency offset consists of reducing the frequency of the control signal of the power supply, of a first frequency value, set at the start of the ignition control and corresponding typically to the resonance frequency fo of the empty system. , at a second frequency value, preferably between fo - ( ⁇ f / 2) and fo, with ⁇ f corresponding to the bandwidth of an RLC circuit, in this case the one forming the resonator 10.

  • the equivalent capacitance that will bring the spark will not generally involve a decrease in the resonance frequency of the resonator / spark assembly of more than 100 kHz with respect to fo.
  • Such a control pattern advantageously allows to keep the maximum amplitude of the voltage applied to the terminals of the capacitance C s at time t of the resonator my ⁇ formation of the spark, and also makes lower and progressive voltage drop after the passage of the point of maximum voltage at t ma ⁇ compared to the conventional case without frequency control of the control during the application of the excitation signal of the resonator.
  • Such a modification of the control frequency during the application of the excitation signal of the resonator of the radiofrequency candle thus provides a real improvement in the characteristics of the spark, allowing to get as close as possible to the new conditions resonance of the assembly and, therefore, makes ignition more efficient.
  • FIG. 2a illustrates a timing diagram of the control signal Vl of the radiofrequency power supply of the spark plug, to which a frequency change is imposed during the application of the excitation signal V2 of the resonator of the radiofrequency candle, whose chronogram is also represented next to the timing diagram of Vl.

  • a change in the frequency of the control signal Vl corresponding to a jump of frequency of the initial frequency fo to a frequency fi, -chosen, as explained above, in a frequency range between fo and fo - ( ⁇ f / 2).
  • the new control frequency value fi is for example chosen between fo and fo - 100 kHz.
  • the control signal Vl then goes through a tilt phase of duration t b , in which it is in a low state, preceding the application of the new frequency f ⁇ .
  • the duration t b of tilting of the control signal V1 to the new frequency f1 is not set to the duration of a half-period of the signal V1 before the change of frequency; i.e., corresponding to half a period of the signal at the frequency fo according to the example.
  • the modification of the frequency of the excitation signal V2 which results therefrom is therefore not synchronized with the time t b of switching of the control signal V1 to the new control frequency f i .
  • the control signal V1 is then no longer in phase with the oscillations of the excitation signal V2 at the time of application of the new frequency f 1.
  • the amplitude of the excitation signal V2 decreases at the moment of the frequency change, and only goes up gradually by readjusting with the new control frequency f1, as illustrated by the timing diagram of V2 of FIG. 2a. .
  • the efficiency of the system is decreased.
  • FIG. 2b taking again the same timing diagrams as FIG. 2a, then illustrates the case envisaged by the present invention, where the modification of the frequency of the excitation signal V2 is advantageously carried out synchronously with the time t b of signal switching. control Vl to the new control frequency fi ..
  • Such synchronous frequency control of the resonator makes it possible to maintain the maximum quality factor of the radiofrequency candle, whatever the mode of its operation and thus to preserve the characteristics of the spark.
  • the switching time t b through which the control signal Vl passes before application of the new control frequency, must preferably be controlled to be substantially equal to the duration of one half-period of the control signal. before application of the frequency change. Some tolerance is however possible for controlling the duration t b of switching of the control signal to the new control frequency.

  • This transient phase of the signal U (t) precedes a phase of stabilization of this signal (referenced phase 2), knowing that a maximum gain is obtained when the change of frequency occurs substantially at the moment of the formation of the spark, c i.e. at the instant tmax.
  • Frequency hopping with the characteristics of the invention described above require, for embedded applications to use high frequency microprocessors or real-time logic components such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array). or ASICs (Application Specifies Integrated Circuit).

  • These control means are therefore adapted to shift the frequency of the control signal of the power supply, from an initial control frequency to a new control frequency, so that the frequency change of the excitation signal of the resonator which in turn flows either synchronized with the control signal. In this way, the control signal remains in phase with the oscillations of the excitation signal of the resonator, throughout the application of the excitation signal.

  • optimizing the development of the spark of the radiofrequency candle requires that it be possible to make up part of the disagreement of the power supply system by controlling a frequency change in real time within a train of excitement of the candle, respecting the synchronization condition of this change with the control signal.
  • This mode of real-time synchronous frequency control can be extended to any type of application using a LC or RLC-like resonant system, the intrinsic parameters of which change over time, under any physical effect (such as the manufacture of a spark, for example), thus modifying its initial resonance frequency fo (increasing or decreasing it).
  • the modification of the excitation frequency of the resonant system must be synchronized, according to the preceding description in relation with the application of automobile ignition to plasma generation, the time t b of switching of the control signal to a new control frequency value, defining the new excitation frequency.
  • the new excitation frequency must also be between f 0 and f 0 +/- ( ⁇ f / 2) (depending on whether the resonant frequency has increased or decreased), ⁇ f corresponding to the bandwidth of the resonant system.
