Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zündtransformator für Impulszündgeräte für Hochdruckgasentladungslampen in Kraftfahrzeugen zur Erzeugung einer Zündspannung, die der Leerlaufspannung eines Lampenvorschaltgerätes überlagert ist, mit einer Primärwicklung und einer davon isoliert angeordneten Sekundärwicklung.The invention relates to an ignition transformer for pulse ignition devices for High pressure gas discharge lamps in motor vehicles for generating a Ignition voltage that superimposes the open circuit voltage of a lamp ballast is arranged with a primary winding and one isolated therefrom Secondary winding.
Zur Zündung von kraftfahrzeugtypischen Hochdruckgasentladungslampen (z. B. der D2-Lampe von Philips) werden Spannungen von U > 23 kV benötigt, die durch Zündtransformatoren erzeugt werden.For the ignition of high pressure gas discharge lamps typical of motor vehicles (e.g. the D2 lamp from Philips) voltages of U> 23 kV are required, which are caused by Ignition transformers are generated.
Aus der DE 41 17 288 A1 ist ein Zündübertrager auf einem Stabkern und mit einem Folienwickel bekannt. Bei einer anderen möglichen Bauform eines Zündtransformators ist die Sekundärwicklung als Drahtwickel in voneinander isolierten Kammern angeordnet.From DE 41 17 288 A1 is an ignition transformer on a rod core and with one Film wrap known. With another possible design one Ignition transformer is the secondary winding as a wire winding in each other insulated chambers arranged.
Um die Hochspannungsfestigkeit solcher Zündtransformatoren zu gewährleisten, sind diese zumindest zu vergießen. Bei den kammergewickelten Zündtransformatoren ist überdies die Isolierung zwischen dem Wickel einer Kammer und den zugehörigen Wickelzuführungen erforderlich, die nur sehr aufwendig realisierbar ist.To ensure the high voltage strength of such ignition transformers, are at least to be shed. With the chamber-wound Ignition transformers are also the insulation between the winding of a chamber and the associated winding feeds required, which is only very complex is feasible.
Damit sind bekannte Zündtransformatoren relativ aufwendig aufgebaut und damit auch kostenaufwendig und zudem recht großbauend.Known ignition transformers are thus constructed in a relatively complex manner and thus also expensive and also quite large.
Nachteilig ist weiterhin, daß zur Unterdrückung von hochfrequenten Störimpulsen, welche die Hochdruckgasentladungslampe erzeugt, zusätzliche Mittel zur funktechnischen Entstörung vorgesehen werden müssen, die ebenfalls einen gewissen Einbauraum erfordem und Kosten verursachen.Another disadvantage is that in order to suppress high-frequency interference pulses, which generates the high pressure gas discharge lamp, additional means for radio interference suppression must be provided, which is also a require certain installation space and incur costs.
Da Einbauraum sowie Kosten im Kraftfahrzeugbau ganz besonders kritische Größen sind, ist es daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Zündtransformator zu schaffen, der besonders einfach, kostengünstig und kleinbauend ausführbar ist und der zusätzliche funkttechnische Entstörmittel so weit wie möglich entbehrlich macht.Because installation space and costs in motor vehicle construction are particularly critical sizes it is therefore the object of the invention to provide an ignition transformer which is particularly simple, inexpensive and small in size and which makes additional radio interference suppression as unnecessary as possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Sekundärwicklung eine Drahtwicklung ist, die einlagig auf einem hochohmigen weichmagnetischen Kern angeordnet ist, daß die Primärwicklung eine Drahtwicklung ist, die aus wenigen, dicht beieinanderliegenden Windungen besteht und elektrisch isoliert von der Sekundärwicklung angeordnet ist, und daß der Zündtransformator mit mindestens einem weiteren Zündtransformator derart verschaltet ist, daß sich die sekundärseitigen Zündspannungen addieren.This object is achieved in that the secondary winding is a wire winding that is single-ply on a high-resistance soft magnetic The core is arranged that the primary winding is a wire winding made of few, closely spaced turns and electrically isolated from the secondary winding is arranged, and that the ignition transformer with at least one further ignition transformer is connected such that the Add ignition voltages on the secondary side.
Der erfindungsgemäße Zündtransformator ist damit sehr einfach aufgebaut und kostengünstig herstellbar. Aufwendige Isolations- und Vergußmaßnahmen sind nicht erforderlich, da der Zündtransformator zur Erzeugung weitaus geringerer Zündspannungen vorgesehen ist als bekannte Zündtransformatoren. Dieser Nachteil kann aber dadurch leicht ausgeglichen werden, daß der Zündtransformator mit (mindestens) einem weiteren gleichartig aufgebauten Zündtransformator so miteinander verschaltet wird, daß sich deren sekundärseitig erzeugte Zündspannungen addieren.The ignition transformer according to the invention is therefore of a very simple structure and inexpensive to manufacture. Complex insulation and potting measures are not required because the ignition transformer for generating much less Ignition voltages are provided as known ignition transformers. This disadvantage can be easily compensated by the fact that the ignition transformer with (at least) another ignition transformer of the same construction is interconnected so that the generated on the secondary side Add ignition voltages.
Auch bei Verwendung von zwei oder mehreren erfindungsgemäß aufgebauten Zündtransformatoren in einem Zündgerät sind diese aufgrund ihres weitaus einfacheren Aufbaues, verglichen mit bekannten Zündtransformatoren, hinsichtlich Baugröße und Kostenaufwand konkurrenzfähig. Even when using two or more constructed according to the invention Ignition transformers in an ignitor are by far their most common simpler construction, compared to known ignition transformers, in terms of Size and cost competitive.
Dies gilt um so mehr, als der erfindungsgemäße Zündtransformator den Einsatz zusätzlicher funktechnischer Entstörmittel verzichtbar macht, so daß deren Einbauraum und Kosten eingespart werden können.This applies all the more as the ignition transformer according to the invention uses it makes additional radio interference suppression dispensable, so that their Installation space and costs can be saved.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch möglich, daß die Primärwicklung eine Drahtwicklung ist, die aus wenigen, dicht beieinanderliegenden Windungen besteht und elektrisch isoliert von der Sekundärwicklung angeordnet ist. Die wenigen dicht beieinanderliegenden Windungen sind dabei vorzugsweise mittig auf der Sekundärwicklung aufgebracht, um eine, verglichen mit einer Anordnung im Anfangs- oder Endbereich der Sekundärwicklung, stärkere Ankopplung zwischen Primär- und Sekundärwicklung zu erreichen.This is possible according to the invention in that the primary winding is a Is wire winding, which consists of a few, closely spaced turns and is arranged electrically insulated from the secondary winding. The few close adjacent turns are preferably centered on the Secondary winding applied to a, compared to an arrangement in the Start or end area of the secondary winding, stronger coupling between To achieve primary and secondary winding.
Da die Primärwicklung nur einen Teil der Sekundärwicklung umgibt, besitzt die Sekundärwicklung vorteilhafterweise eine relativ hohe Streuinduktivität, wodurch die Wirkung einer Funkentstördrossel erzielt wird.Since the primary winding surrounds only part of the secondary winding, it has Secondary winding advantageously has a relatively high leakage inductance, whereby the Effect of a radio interference suppression choke is achieved.
Tatsächlich kann der erfindungsgemäße Zündtransformator auf einfache Weise aus einer handelsüblichen und kostengünstigen HF-(UKW-) Drossel (oder einem einer solchen nachempfundenen Aufbau) unter einfacher Hinzufügung einiger weniger Drahtwindungen als Primärwicklung ausgeführt werden.In fact, the ignition transformer according to the invention can be made in a simple manner a commercially available and inexpensive HF (VHF) choke (or one such a model) with the simple addition of a few Wire windings are carried out as a primary winding.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, den hochohmigen weichmagnetischen Kern als Ferritkern auszuführen, da dieser elektrisch sehr verlustarm und außerdem kostengünstig ist.It is particularly advantageous to use the high-resistance soft magnetic core as a ferrite core to carry out, since this is very low loss and also inexpensive.
Vorteilhaft ist aber auch, den weichmagnetischen Kern als Metallpulverkern (Eisenpulverkern, Molybdän-Permalloy-Pulver-Kern) auszubilden, da solche besonders hoch ansteuerbar sind und damit besonders kleinbauend ausgeführt werden können.But it is also advantageous to use the soft magnetic core as a metal powder core (Iron powder core, molybdenum permalloy powder core) to train, as such are particularly highly controllable and are therefore designed to be particularly small can be.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist auch, daß der Isolationsaufwand des erfindungsgemäßen Zündtransformators ganz besonders gering ist, da sich dieser überproportional mit der Abnahme der Sekundärspannung verringert. Ausreichend ist, einen einfachen Schrumpfschlauch, Isolierschlauch, eine Isolierfolie oder ein Isolierröhrchen zwischen der Primärwicklung und der Sekundärwicklung vorzusehen und eventuell als Berührungsschutz auch die Primärwicklung mit einer Isolierung zu umhüllen. Kostenaufwendige Vergußmaßnahmen wie bei bekannten Zündtransformatoren sind dagegen nicht erforderlich.It is also particularly advantageous that the insulation effort of the invention Ignition transformer is particularly low, since this disproportionately the decrease in the secondary voltage is reduced. A simple one is sufficient Shrink tubing, insulating tube, an insulating film or an insulating tube between the primary winding and the secondary winding and possibly to protect the primary winding with insulation as protection against accidental contact. Expensive encapsulation measures as in known ignition transformers are against it not necessary.
Im folgenden soll ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Zündtransformators anhand der Zeichnung dargestellt werden.In the following an embodiment of an inventive Ignition transformer can be shown using the drawing.
Die einzige Figur zeigt den Zündtransformator im Querschnitt.The single figure shows the ignition transformer in cross section.
Der Zündtransformator besteht aus einer einlagig gewickelten Stabkerndrossel mit einem hochohmigen Ferritkern (3), auf der eine weitere Wicklung (Primärwicklung (1)) mit wenigen dicht beieinanderliegenden Windungen angeordnet ist. Zwischen der Sekundärwicklung (2) und der Primärwicklung (1) ist eine einfache Isolierung (4), z. B. in Form eines Isolierschlauches oder einer Isolierfolie, vorgesehen.The ignition transformer consists of a single-core rod choke a high-resistance ferrite core (3) on which another winding (primary winding (1)) is arranged with a few closely spaced turns. Between the secondary winding (2) and the primary winding (1) are simple insulation (4), e.g. B. in the form of an insulating tube or an insulating film.
Die Enden der Sekundärwicklung (2) sind mit den axial herausgeführten Sekundäranschlüssen (S 1, S 2) verbunden; die Enden der Primärwicklung (1) sind als Primäranschlüsse (P 1, P 2) erkennbar.The ends of the secondary winding (2) are brought out axially Secondary connections (S 1, S 2) connected; the ends of the primary winding (1) recognizable as primary connections (P 1, P 2).
Der hochohmige Ferritkern (3) ist ca. 30 mm lang und hat einen Durchmesser von ca. 6 mm. Die Sekundärwicklung (2) hat ca. 100 Windungen und erstreckt sich fast über die ganze Länge des Ferritkerns (3). Die Primärwicklung (1) weist ca. 4 Windungen auf und ist sehr viel kürzer als der Ferritkern (3). Die angeführten Abmessungen sowie die Windungszahlen sind selbstverständlich nur beispielhaft.The high-resistance ferrite core (3) is approx. 30 mm long and has a diameter of approx. 6 mm. The secondary winding (2) has approximately 100 turns and almost extends over the entire length of the ferrite core (3). The primary winding (1) has approximately 4 Turns and is much shorter than the ferrite core (3). The listed Dimensions and the number of turns are of course only exemplary.
Zur Erzielung einer ausreichend hohen Zündspannung für in Kraftfahrzeugen verwendete Hochdruckgasentladungslampen wird der Zündtransformator mit vorzugsweise einem weiteren gleichartigen Zündtransformator derart verschaltet, daß sich die sekundärseitig erzeugten Zündspannungen addieren. To achieve a sufficiently high ignition voltage for motor vehicles The ignition transformer is used with high-pressure gas discharge lamps preferably connected to another similar ignition transformer in such a way that the ignition voltages generated on the secondary side add up.
