Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to plasma generation techniques.
  • the invention relates to a high-voltage resonator-amplifier for radiofrequency ignition system used on an internal combustion engine, this resonator-amplifier comprising at least two electrodes, a coil disposed in the extension of the electrodes along a longitudinal axis, and linking means now in a relative position fixes the coil and the electrodes.
  • a resonator-amplifier of this type is in particular known to those skilled in the art by the patent.
  • FR 2,859,869 is in particular known to those skilled in the art by the patent.
  • the shape of the cylinder head and the free spaces that are arranged there are crucial parameters to take into account in the design of these reels-candles.
  • the present invention aims to provide a high voltage resonator-amplifier or "coil-candle” whose structure responds to this need for evolution.
  • the resonator-amplifier of the invention is essentially characterized in that the coil is wound around a closed curve which surrounds it. even the longitudinal axis.
  • the invention relates to a high-voltage resonator-amplifier for equipping a radiofrequency ignition system for an internal combustion engine.
  • FIG. figure 1 A known resonator-amplifier is shown in FIG. figure 1 and comprises two electrodes 11 and 12, a coil 2 arranged in the extension of the electrodes along a longitudinal axis Z, and connecting means 3 whose function is at least to maintain the coil 2 and the electrodes 11 and 12 in a relative position fixed.
  • the ground electrode 12 which surrounds the central electrode 11, carries a thread which makes it possible to screw it into the cylinder head Q of the engine.
  • the known resonator-amplifiers have a structure adapted to motors whose breech Q has an access well P intended to receive them.
  • the coil 2 is wrapped around a closed curve K which itself surrounds the longitudinal axis Z ( figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the connecting means can thus be restricted to a minimum structure, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the connecting means comprise a body 3 elongated along the longitudinal axis Z.
  • the lower end 31 of the body 3 then carries the functional ends of the electrodes 11 and 12, while the coil 2 is carried by the upper end 32 of this body 3.
  • the coil 2 comprises two connecting conductor wires 201 and 202 for connecting this coil 2 to a source of electrical energy (not shown) and a set of windings such as 21A to 24B, mounted in series between the connecting strands 201 and 202.
  • the set of windings of the coil 2 is formed of a first subset of windings such as 21A and 22A, comprising at most two-thirds of the windings of the coil, and of a second subset of windings such as 22B, 23B and 24B, comprising at least one third of the windings of this coil.
  • the two subassemblies comprise the same number of windings, and if the total number windings of the coil 2 is odd, the two subsets include the same number of windings to one unit.
  • Each winding is wound on a part of the closed curve K, the windings of the first subassembly, namely 21A and 22A, and the windings of the second subassembly, namely 22B, 23B, and 24B, wound in directions inverses, both along the curve K and around this curve.
  • This arrangement which allows the different windings to contribute in the same way to the constitution of the magnetic field of the coil 2 without having to be coiled in the same direction, allows to move the strands 201 and 202 one of the other, and divide by a factor of two or close to two the potential difference between the strands 201 and 202.
  • the windings 21A and 22A of the first subassembly may for example be contiguous, that is to say arranged on the closed curve K following each other, the windings 22B, 23B, and 24B of the second subassembly being themselves arranged on the curve K after each other.
  • the windings 21A and 22A of the first subassembly are preferably arranged on the closed curve K following each other in the same direction of travel as these windings themselves, and therefore succeed one another in the direction S1 if these windings 21A and 22A are individually wound in the direction S1, or in the direction S2 if these windings 21A and 22A are individually wound in the direction S2.
  • the windings 22B, 23B, and 24B of the second subassembly are preferably arranged on the closed curve K following each other in the same direction of travel as these windings themselves, and therefore succeed one another. in the direction S1 if these windings 22B, 23B, and 24B are individually wound in the direction S1, or in the direction S2 if these windings 22B, 23B, and 24B are individually wound in the direction S2.
