Automobile ignition coil and its ignition controller

The present invention discloses an automotive ignition coil and its ignition controller, and the technical solution is as follows: An energy storage module is arranged on the main housing, and the energy storage module is electrically connected in parallel with the primary coil. When the primary coil is connected to a DC power supply, the energy storage module and the primary coil respectively store electric field energy and magnetic field energy synchronously. There is an inversion circuit electrically connected between the energy storage module and the primary coil. When the inversion circuit responds to the disconnection of the DC power supply and the primary coil, it connects the energy storage module and the primary coil to provide a reverse voltage that is reversely transmitted to the primary coil, and the magnitude of the reverse voltage is equal to the self-inductive voltage generated by the primary coil. Through energy storage components, the present invention realizes that when the coil is powered off, the self-inductive voltage generated by the inductance is offset by the reverse current voltage, thereby achieving the effect of quickly eliminating the magnetic field, realizing the instantaneous disappearance of the magnetic field in the primary coil, demagnetizing the iron core, and the magnetic force lines rapidly contracting and cutting the secondary coil to generate high voltage for ignition operation.

Multi-mode ignition spark plug, hydrogen engine ignition method and related device

The invention provides a multi-mode ignition spark plug, a hydrogen engine ignition method and a related device, and relates to the field of engines, the multi-mode ignition spark plug comprises a first electrode and a second electrode; the first electrode is used for being matched with a ground level structure in the preheating chamber to achieve ignition, and the second electrode is used for being matched with a central electrode hole in the pre-combustion chamber to achieve ignition. The two ignition modes of ignition inside the pre-combustion chamber and ignition outside the pre-combustion chamber can be achieved only through one spark plug, and the cost of the engine and the complexity of the wiring environment of the engine are reduced.
