Shields, Linton, Ind., assignor t0 Luvals, Inc., Linton, lnd., a corporation of Indiana Filed June 7, 1966, Ser. No. 555,852 5 Claims. (Cl. 123-148) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An ignition system for internal combustion engines which provides a hotter spark of shorter duration than that provided by standard ignition systems is disclosed. The self-induced (flyback) voltage of the primary winding of the ignition coil is utilized to drive the base electrode of a transistor positive with respect to the emitter electrode when the breaker points of the system open. The base electrode and the collector electrode of the transistor are both connected to ground potential when the ignition breaker points are closed, causing full conduction of the transistor and minimizing transistor junction temperature This invention relates to ignition system for igniting the combustible mixture of an internal combustion engine and more particularly to ignition systems wherein a semiconductor, such as a transistor, is used to control the current flow through the primary winding of an ignition coil.
The invention is applicable to generally known and used ignition systems of the kind in which a pair of breaker points control a supply of current from a battery to the primary winding of an ignition coil and the points are opened and closed to sequentially interrupt and connect the current supply whereupon a high voltage generated in the secondary winding of the coil is applied to a distributor system operated synchronously with the breaker points. The distributor system includes sparkplugs which initiate combustion of the fuel supplied to car cylinders of the engine with which the spark-plugs are associated.
One object of this invention is to provide an ignition system which will provide a spark which is hotter but of shorter duration than that provided by ignition systems now in general use, and thereby increase the useful life of the points and spark-plugs associated with the system.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved ignition system, of the type described, wherein the self induced (flyback) voltage of the primary winding of the ignition coil is utilized to drive the base electrode of a transistor positive with respect to the emitter electrode when the breaker points of the system open, thus causing an extremely sharp cut-off of conduction of the transistor, and a resulting high voltage in the secondary winding of the ignition coil.
Another object of this invention is to provide a transistor controlled ignition system wherein the collector electrode of the transistor is connected directly to the ground side of the system thereby eliminating insulated mounting of the transistor and consequently providing better heat dissipation and ease of installation.
A further object of this invention is to provide a transistor controlled ignition system wherein the transistor base-to-ground current aids the emitter-to-collector current in causing maximum current to flow through the primary winding of the ignition coil during the conduction cycle of the transistor.
Another object of this invention is to provide a transistor controlled ignition system wherein the transistor base electrode is at the same electrical potential as the collector electrode during the time that the ignition breaker points are closed, thus causing full conduction of the tran- 3,406,671 Patented Oct. 22, 1968 sistor and minimizing the rise in transistor junction temperature.
Another object of this invention is to provide a transistor controlled ignition system wherein the complete electronic controls can be attached to an ignition coil and the assembly thus made directly interchanged with an automobiles original ignition coil, thus eliminating the requirement for additional mounting holes, sub-chassis, heat sinks and wiring.
A further objective of this invention is to provide a transistor ignition system wherein the transistor is caused to alternately go from full conduction to full cut off during the respective closed and open conditions of the ignition systems breaker points, thus minimizing the rise in transistor junction temperature, and eliminating transistor thermal runaway.
One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
Referring to the drawing, the reference numeral 20 designates a source of electrical power (normally a six volt storage battery) on a motor vehicle. One side of the storage battery 20 is connected directly to ground 42, as is shown, and the other side is connected to an ignition switch 22. The other side of the ignition switch 22 is connected to one side of the primary winding 24 of the ignition coil 26. The ignition coil illustrated is a standard type with a low impedance primary winding ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 millihenrys and with turn ratios of 250 to 1 to 400 to 1.
The ignition system of this invention includes a semiconductor such as a transistor 28 having an emitter electrode 30, a base electrode 32 and a collector electrode 34. Suitable transistors include those designated 2N174, 2Nl90, 2N2152 and others of similar characteristics and power ratings. The emitter electrode 30 is connected directly to the junction 36. The base electrode 32 is connected to junction 38 via junction 54 and the resistor 40 having a value of to 500 ohms. The collector 34 of the transistor 28 is connected directly to the ground 42 side of the system. A rectifier diode 44 is connected between the junctions 36 and 38 and a capacitor 46 having a value of 0.1 mfd. -20% at 400 WVDC. is connected between the junction 38 and the ground 42. A suitable rectifier diode 44 is the type commercially designated IN1692.
One side of the secondary winding 48 of the ignition coil 26 is connected to the junction 50 and the other side of the secondary Winding 48 is connected to the center junction 60 of the ignition systems distributor cap. It should be noted that the secondary winding 48 of the ignition coil 26 is inductively coupled to the primary winding 24 and that one side of each winding is common to the junction '50.
Reference numeral 52 indicates a set of breaker points of which one side is connected directly to the base electrode 32 of the transistor 28 via the junction 54. The other side of the breaker points 52 is connected directly to ground 42 of the system. Opening and closing of the breaker points 52 are in synchronism with the operation of the engine, as is the rotation of the rotor contact 56. Thus the rotor contact 56 is oriented in such a manner that the ignition spark, which occurs when the breaker points 52 open, is distributed in sequence to the proper spark plug 58 to cause ignition of the combustible mixture within the respective cylinder of the engine.
It will be appreciated that the referenced drawing illustrates a transistor ignition system of the type described as applied to a four cylinder engine. It will also be appreciated that a transistor ignition system of the type described is applicable to internal combustion engines having less or more than four cylinders.
In operation of this system, when the engine is being cranked the breaker points 52 are caused to open and close by the cam action of the engines distributor camshaft. With the ignition switch 22 closed and the breaker points 52 closed, the base electrode 32 is connected directly to ground 42. Thus the transistor 28 is'biased for optimum current condition from emitter to collector which causes maximum current to flow from the battery through the primary winding 24 of the ignition coil 26 to ground 42 via the transistors emitter electrode 30 and collector electrode 34.
It is important to observe that the small base current (which is characteristic of all transistors) is utilized in this invention to aid, instead of shunt, the current flow in the primary winding of the ignition coil. It is also important to observe that under this condition of operation there is no resistance between the base electrode 32 and the ground connection 42. Thus, there is no difference in the voltage potential of the base electrode 32 and the collector electrode 34. Hence, the voltage drop between the emitter electrode 30 and the collector electrode 34 is at a minimum. By this arrangement it is seen that the operating temperature of the transistor 28 is maintained at a very low level.
When the breaker points 52 open, the base electrode 32 of the transistor 28 is no longer connected to ground thus the electrical potential of the junction 38 (which is positive with respect to the emitter electrode 30) is applied to the base electrode 32 via the resistor thus causing sharp conduction cut-off of the transistor 28. The sharp conduction cut-01f of the transistor 28 causes a sharp cut-otf of current flow through the primary Winding 24 of the ignition coil 26. The resulting high voltage which is induced in the secondary winding 48 of the ignition coil 26 is applied to the proper spark plug 5 8 vi the junction 60, the rotor contact 56, and a junction 62, thus causing ignition of the combustible mixture within the respective cylinder of the engine. At the same time that the induced high voltage occurs in the secondary Winding 48 of the ignition coil 26, a self induced voltage occurs in the primary winding 24. This voltage, which is of a considerably higher potential than that of the storage battery 20, is applied to the capacitor 46 via the diode 44 thus establishing a positive voltage potential at the junction 38. This voltage is applied to the base electrode 32 via the resistor 40 and thus maintains conduction cut-01f of the transistor 28 while the breaker points 52 are open. When the breaker points 52 close, the junction 54 and hence the base electrode 32 are connected to the ground 42 and the positive voltage at the junction 38 is dropped across the resistor 40. A voltage of the proper polarity and magnitude at the junction 38, is thus maintained, to cause sharp conduction cut-off of the transistor 28 when applied to the base electrode 32 via the resistor 40 as will be the condition when the breaker points 52 are again caused to open.
