Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a measuring device in an electronically controlled radiofrequency ignition system of an internal combustion engine, adapted to perform the measurement of the ionization current of the gases in the engine cylinders and / or the measurement of the voltage at the terminals of the electrodes of a spark plug during ignition control.
  • the measurement of the ionization current of the gases in the cylinders of the engine is carried out typically after the end of the ignition and finds particularly advantageous applications, for example for the detection of the angle corresponding to the pressure peak of the chamber of burning, rattling or for the identification of misfires.
  • Such circuits are conventionally arranged at the foot of the secondary of an ignition coil connected to the spark plug.
  • the present invention therefore aims in particular to provide a device for measuring the ionization current adapted to a radiofrequency ignition system, another measuring device is disclosed in US2004129241 .
  • Another object is to make it possible, on the basis of the same device, to measure, cumulatively or otherwise, the measurement of the voltage across the electrodes of a radiofrequency coil-plug during an order. ignition.
  • the measurement capacitor is connected in series between the secondary winding of the transformer and the resonator, at a ground return wire of the transformer and the resonator.
  • the device comprises a damping resistor connected in parallel with a primary winding of the transformer.
  • the device comprises a continuous power supply connected to the base of the secondary winding of the transformer.
  • the measurement circuit of the ionization current comprises a circuit differentiating the potential difference between the terminals of the measuring capacitor.
  • the circuit for measuring the voltage across the electrodes of the resonator comprises a rectifier circuit of the peak voltage across the measuring capacitor.
  • a primary winding of the transformer is connected on one side to a supply voltage and on the other side to the drain of at least one switch transistor controlled by a control signal, the switching transistor applying the supply voltage across the primary winding at a frequency defined by the control signal.
  • the transformer comprises a variable transformation ratio.
  • the coil-spark plug implemented in the context of the controlled radiofrequency ignition is electrically equivalent to a resonator 1 (see FIG. figure 1 ), whose resonant frequency F c is greater than 1 MHz, and typically close to 5 MHz.
  • the resonator comprises in series a resistor Rs, an inductance coil Ls and a capacitance Cs. Ignition electrodes 11 and 12 of the coil-plug are connected across the capacitor Cs of the resonator, making it possible to generate multi-filament discharges to initiate the combustion of the mixture in the combustion chambers of the engine, when the resonator is powered.
  • the amplitude across the capacitance Cs is amplified so that multi-filament discharges develop between the electrodes, on distances of the order of one centimeter at high pressure and for peak voltages of less than 25 kV.
  • branched sparks These are referred to as branched sparks, insofar as they involve the simultaneous generation of at least several lines or ionization paths in a given volume, their branches being moreover omnidirectional.
  • This application to radio frequency ignition then requires the use of a power supply circuit, capable of generating voltage pulses, typically of the order of 100 ns, which can reach amplitudes of the order of 1 kV, at a frequency very close to the resonance frequency of the plasma generation resonator of the radiofrequency coil-plug.
  • the figure 2 schematically illustrates such a power supply circuit 2, furthermore detailed in the patent application.
  • FR 03-10767 The power supply circuit of the radiofrequency coil-candle conventionally uses a so-called “pseudo-class E power amplifier" circuit. This assembly makes it possible to create the voltage pulses with the aforementioned characteristics.
  • This assembly consists of an intermediate continuous supply Vinter which can vary from 0 to 250V, a MOSFET transistor of power M and a parallel resonant circuit 4 comprising a coil Lp in parallel with a capacitor Cp.
  • the transistor M is used as a switch to control the switching at the terminals of the parallel resonant circuit and the plasma generation resonator 1 to be connected to an output interface OUT of the supply circuit.
  • the transistor M is driven on its gate by a control logic signal VI, supplied by a control stage 3, at a frequency which must be substantially set to the resonance frequency of the resonator 1.
  • the intermediate DC supply voltage Vinter can advantageously be provided by a high voltage power supply, typically a DC / DC converter.
  • the parallel resonator 4 transforms the continuous supply voltage Vinter into an amplified periodic voltage, corresponding to the supply voltage multiplied by the overvoltage coefficient of the parallel resonator and applied to an interface of output of the power supply circuit at the drain of the switch transistor M.
  • the switch transistor M then applies the amplified supply voltage to the output of the power supply, at the frequency defined by the control signal V1, which is sought to make as close as possible to the resonant frequency of the coil -bougie, so as to generate the high-voltage across the electrodes of the coil-candle necessary for the development and maintenance of the multi-filament discharge.
  • the transistor thus switches high currents at a frequency of about 5 MHz and with a drain-source voltage of up to 1 kV.
  • the choice of the transistor is critical and requires a compromise between voltage and current.
  • the parallel coil Lp is then replaced by a transformer T, having a transformation ratio of between 1 and 5.
  • the primary winding L M of the transformer is connected on one side to the supply voltage Vinter and on the other side to the drain of the switching transistor M, controlling the application of the supply voltage Vinter across the primary winding at the frequency defined by the control signal V1.
  • the secondary winding L N of the transformer one side of which is connected to ground by a grounding wire 6, is in turn intended to be connected to the spark-plug.
  • the resonator 1 of the coil-plug connected to the terminals of the secondary winding by connecting son 5 and 6, whose ground return wire 6, is thus fed by the secondary of the transformer.
  • the adaptation of the transformation ratio then makes it possible to reduce the drain-source voltage of the transistor.
  • the decrease in the primary voltage induces an increase in the current flowing through the transistor. It is then possible to compensate for this constraint by placing for example two transistors in parallel controlled by the same control stage 3.
  • the figure 4 illustrates then an adaptation of the previously described circuit with reference to the figure 3 to the needs of the invention.
  • a capacitor of measurement capacity noted Cmesure on the figure 4 , is first intended to be connected in series between the secondary winding of the transformer of the radiofrequency ignition supply circuit 2 and the resonator 1 of radiofrequency plasma generation, on the ground return wire 6 of the transformer and the resonator.
  • a DC power supply supplying a Vpolar voltage of between 12 and 250V and which can therefore be the battery voltage or the intermediate DC supply voltage Vinter, is intended to be connected via an Rpolar resistor to foot of the secondary winding of the transformer.
  • the role of this power supply is to bias the high voltage electrode of the spark plug coil connected at the output of the power supply circuit with respect to the motor cylinder head.
  • a damping resistor Rstop may optionally be arranged in parallel with the primary winding of the transformer T.
  • Such a resistor makes it possible to damp the residual voltage across the primary winding once the transistor M is no longer ordered, that is to say after the generation of the spark.
  • the presence of this resistance advantageously makes it possible to measure the ionization current as soon as possible after the end of the ignition control, as will be seen in more detail later.
  • the supply circuit of the figure 3 is indeed suitable for carrying out measurements of the ionization current.
  • the ionization current corresponds to the propagation of the flame front within the combustion chamber. It is therefore a signal to follow the evolution and type of combustion that takes place.
  • This ionization current is measurable after the end of the spark for at least 1 ms and has an amplitude of the order of 20 ⁇ A. Also, the measurement of the ionization current is carried out after the end of the ignition.
  • the motor rotates in 10 -2 s, ie 26 ⁇ s / °.
  • a combustion lasts about 40 ° crankshaft, it accepts a tolerance of 100 ⁇ s (about 4 ° crankshaft at maximum speed) after ignition to mitigate the glare of the measuring circuit caused by ignition.
  • the damping is improved by the addition of a resistor parallel to the primary winding of the transformer at the output of which is connected the coil-candle.
  • the measurement of the ionization current according to the invention is carried out at the terminals of the measurement capacitor Cmesure.
  • a differentiating type DIFF measuring circuit is connected across the measuring capacitor Cmesure.
  • the measurement of the ionization current is therefore carried out at the terminals of the measuring capacitor Cmesure during combustion.
  • the equivalent charge during combustion can be modeled by a Rion resistance of approximately 500 kilo Ohms, connected in parallel with the capacitor Cs of the plasma generation resonator 1.
  • the differentiator circuit DIFF used for measuring the ionization current comprises an amplifier operating device 10 powered by a voltage Vlow, the inverting input of which is connected to a terminal of the measuring capacitor Cmesure via a capacitance denoted C, of value equal for example to 100 nF, whose non-inverting input is connected to the other terminal of the measuring capacitor via the same capacitor C, and whose output Vs is looped back to the non-inverting input via a resistor, denoted R, for example equal to 100 Ohms.
  • the non-inverting input is further biased through the supply voltage of the amplifier.
  • This voltage Vlow is first filtered by a circuit RC, comprising a resistance of a value equal for example to 4 / 5R, in series with a capacitor C1.
  • the thus filtered voltage VA is then applied to the non-inverting input via a resistive voltage divider bridge, composed of two resistors, each of value equal to 2R for example.
  • Iion being the ionization current.
  • the power supply circuit of the figure 3 may also be adapted to perform a measurement of the voltage Vout across the spark plug electrodes during ignition control (i.e., as long as a control signal is applied to the transistor M ). Such a measurement of the voltage can be used for an optimal control of the development of the spark.
  • a rectifier circuit RED is connected across the measuring capacitor Cmesure, for extracting the peak voltage across the capacitor measurement during ignition control.
  • the rectifier circuit is produced by placing a diode D in series with a resistive type load of value R1, chosen for example equal to 100 ohms, at the terminals of which is obtained during an ignition control, a voltage V's advantageously proportional at the high voltage Vout across the electrodes of the coil-candle.
  • a decoupling capacitor denoted by C3 on the cable, can be arranged upstream of the diode D and in series with it.
  • figure 4 of a value for example equal to 100 nF, and a resistor R3 to ground, in order to eliminate the DC component of the input signal of the rectifier circuit.
  • a capacity denoted C2 of a value for example equal to 1 nF, in parallel with the resistive load at the output of the rectifier circuit, allows the storage of the peak value of the voltage.
  • the measurement of the voltage across the measuring capacitance Cmes during an ignition control advantageously makes it possible to obtain an image measurement of the voltage across the electrodes of the coil-spark plug.
  • the solution described in the context of the present application therefore makes it possible, from the same measurement capacitor mounted in series at the output of the supply circuit radiofrequency ignition, to perform both the measurement of the ionization current and the measurement of the voltage across the electrodes of the coil-spark plug during an ignition control, or one or the other only of these measurements, according to whether one chooses to integrate the two previously described circuits for the purpose of carrying out these measurements at the terminals of the capacitor Cmesure, or only one or other of these circuits.
