Abstract

Verfahren zum Bestimmen des Zeitpunkts des Erlöschens eines Zündfunkens einer Zündeinrichtung (1) für einen Verbrennungsmotor (2), wobei die Zündeinrichtung (1) einen Hochspannungsüberträger (3) mit einer Primärseite (4) und einer Sekundärseite (5) aufweist, von denen die Primärseite (4) mit einer Hochspannungsquelle (6 - 9) und die Sekundärseite (5) mit einer Funkenstrecke (10) zur Ausbildung des Zündfunkens verbunden ist, wobei der zeitliche Verlauf des auf der Primärseite (4) fließenden Primärstromes gemessen und zumindest in eine Funkenbrennphase und eine anschließende Freilaufphase des Hochspannungsüberträgers (3) unterteilt wird und der Übergang von der Funkenbrennphase in die Freilaufphase mit dem Zeitpunkt des Erlöschens des Zündfunkens gleichgesetzt wird, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der zeitliche Verlauf des Primärstromes in der Funkenbrennphase durch eine erste Funktion und in der Freilaufphase durch eine zweite Funktion abgebildet wird und der Schnittpunkt der beiden Funktionen mit dem Zeitpunkt des Erlöschens des Zündfunkens gleichgesetzt wird.

Figure imgaf001
Method for determining the time of extinguishing a spark of an ignition device (1) for an internal combustion engine (2), wherein the ignition device (1) has a high-voltage transformer (3) with a primary side (4) and a secondary side (5), of which the primary side (4) with a high voltage source (6-9) and the secondary side (5) with a spark gap (10) for forming the spark is connected, wherein the time course of the primary side (4) flowing primary current measured and at least in a spark burning phase and a subsequent freewheeling phase of the high voltage transformer (3) is divided and the transition from the spark burning phase is equated in the freewheeling phase with the time of extinguishing the spark, characterized in that the time course of the primary current in the spark burning phase by a first function and in the freewheeling phase a second function is shown and the Schnittp of the two functions is equated with the time of extinguishing the spark.
