Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aviation ignition device technology, specifically, to an ignition device and method based on a microcontroller controlling an IGBT, used to control the ignition frequency and ignition timing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of aero-engines, the ignition system is an important component. The ignition system mainly consists of an ignition device, an ignition cable, and an ignition nozzle. The ignition device converts low-voltage DC power into high-voltage DC pulse power. The high electrical energy generated by the ignition device is transmitted to the ignition nozzle by the ignition cable. When the nozzle is punctured, it generates an electric spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.

[0003] Currently, the ignition frequency and timing of aircraft engines cannot be remotely controlled in real time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ignition device and method based on a microcontroller controlling an IGBT, which can realize remote real-time control of the ignition device and control the ignition frequency and ignition timing.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an ignition device based on a microcontroller-controlled IGBT, comprising a switching power supply, a microcontroller control circuit, a PC control terminal, an IGBT drive circuit, an IGBT circuit, a boost energy storage circuit, and a high-voltage pulse output circuit;

[0006] The switching power supply, PC control terminal, and IGBT drive circuit are respectively connected to the microcontroller control circuit. The IGBT drive circuit is connected to and drives the IGBT circuit. The IGBT circuit is respectively connected to the boost energy storage circuit and the high-voltage pulse output circuit.

[0007] After selecting the ignition frequency and ignition timing from the PC control terminal, a communication signal is sent from the communication port to the microcontroller control circuit. The microcontroller control circuit sends a control signal to the IGBT drive circuit, and the IGBT drive circuit sends a drive signal to drive the IGBT circuit.

[0008] The energy storage capacitor Cc in the high-voltage pulse output circuit is charged by the power input. When the IGBT circuit is driven to conduct, the energy storage capacitor Cc discharges and is output by the ignition device through the high-voltage pulse output circuit to control the ignition frequency and ignition timing.

[0009] To better realize the present invention, the power supply is further input into the switching power supply to power the microcontroller control circuit.

[0010] To better realize the present invention, when the power supply is input to the boost energy storage circuit, the T1 transformer of the boost energy storage circuit boosts the voltage and then it is rectified by diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4. After rectification, it passes through resistor R1 and diode D11 in sequence, and finally connects to resistor R2 and energy storage capacitor Cc in parallel to complete the charging of energy storage capacitor Cc.

[0011] To better realize the present invention, the IGBT circuit is further turned on after receiving the drive signal from the IGBT drive circuit. At this time, the energy storage capacitor Cc discharges and is output to the high-voltage pulse output circuit through the IGBT. In the high-voltage pulse output circuit, the autotransformer T2 is connected to the capacitor Cb and the ignition device P1 respectively. After the autotransformer T2 performs a secondary voltage boost in the high-voltage pulse output circuit, the high-voltage pulse is output from the ignition device P1 for ignition.

[0012] To better implement the present invention, step S5 further includes:

[0013] When the IGBT circuit is driven to conduct, the energy storage capacitor Cc in the boost energy storage circuit discharges, and the discharge is output by the ignition device through the high-voltage pulse output circuit to control the ignition frequency and ignition timing.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
