Description

[0002] The ignition controller controls the engine operation based on the measurement signals of various sensors, and the accuracy of the signals is the premise of correct control of the ignition controller. The faults of the sensors, signals and ignition controller structure will cause the ignition controller to misjudge the engine state. For an aircraft, the risk of setting only one ignition controller is high. Once a single ignition controller has a local fault, it will cause engine failure. Therefore, multiple ignition controllers are set for an aero-engine, and the mutual comparison and correction of multiple signals can achieve more accurate control and greatly ensure the safety of the aircraft.

[0003] Most of the ignition controllers of the carburetor type aero-piston engine in the prior art do not have a diagnosis function for ignition output. If short-circuit, open-circuit and other faults occur for a long time, the ignition drive device inside the ignition controller will be burned out, thereby causing damage to the ignition controller and bringing safety risks during flight.

[0040] Embodiment: As shown in the figure, the ignition method provided by the present embodiment is applied to a carburetor type aviation piston engine, and includes the following steps: Figure 1

[0041] S1, acquiring sensor signal A and sensor signal B; the sensor A includes: intake air pressure sensor A1, intake air temperature sensor A2, crankshaft position sensor A3 and cylinder temperature sensor A4; the sensor B includes: intake air pressure sensor B1, intake air temperature sensor B2, crankshaft position sensor B3 and cylinder temperature sensor B4.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned ignition output fault diagnosis is an electrical diagnosis, including power short-circuit fault, open-circuit fault and ground short-circuit fault.

[0070] When the ignition output is in the working state, if the output control port voltage > preset value and the duration > preset value, it is determined that the ignition output has a power short-circuit fault;
