Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aircraft engine starting ignition circuit fault detection, and specifically relates to an aircraft engine starting ignition fault detection circuit. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft engine starting ignition circuit Figure 1 As shown. After the input power supply voltage is filtered by inductor L1, capacitor C1, capacitor C2, and capacitor C3, it provides driving current to transistor Q3 through resistor R2. After transistor Q3 is turned on, the power supply current increases linearly through the primary winding N1 of transformer T1. At this time, the voltage induced by winding N3 of transformer TI provides positive feedback for the conduction of transistor Q3, making the circuit current reach the maximum value I P In the positive feedback process, the current induced in the winding N3 of the transformer TI forms a current loop through the transistor Q3, the resistor R5, the transistor Q1, the diode D5, the potentiometer RP1, the resistor R3, and the resistor R4. Under different input voltages, the voltage drop of the diode D4 will change.

[0003] If the conduction voltage drop of diode D4 increases, the voltage required when transistor Q1 is turned on will increase, so that the voltage drop on potentiometer RP1, resistor R3, and resistor R4 will decrease, and the current in the loop will decrease. If the conduction voltage drop of diode D4 decreases, the voltage required when transistor Q1 is turned on will decrease, so that the voltage drop on potentiometer RP1, resistor R3, and resistor R4 will increase, and the current in the loop will increase. Therefore, transistor Q1 adjusts the current size of the feedback loop, which is equivalent to the role of a variable resistor. When the circuit current reaches the maximum value I P When , transistor Q2 is turned on and transistor Q3 is turned off, which plays a role in current protection.

[0004] When the transistor Q3 is turned off, the reverse voltage induced by the winding N2 of the transformer TI charges the energy storage capacitor C4. When the voltage across the capacitor C4 reaches the breakdown voltage of the discharge tube V1, the discharge tube V1 breaks down and conducts to transmit the high-voltage electric energy stored in the capacitor C4 to the end of the ignition nozzle through the ignition cable for discharge, thereby starting and igniting the aircraft engine.

For example, the connection can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Technical personnel in the field can understand its specific meaning in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] When the aircraft engine starting ignition device is powered on and working normally, the ignition nozzle end discharges, and a large current is generated in the ignition circuit discharge loop. Based on this, the present application provides an aircraft engine starting ignition fault detection circuit, such as Figure 1 As shown, the output resistance value is used to determine whether the ignition device is working normally, thereby realizing the detection of the aircraft engine starting ignition failure.

[0033] Resistor R7 is a sampling resistor, which is set in the discharge loop of the ignition circuit. Figure 3 As shown, when the aircraft engine starting ignition device is powered on and working normally, a large voltage will be generated across the resistor R7, which is a discharge signal.

[0034] Both ends of the resistor R7 are connected to the first and second pins of the input end of the photoelectric isolator U1 , and the fourth and third pins of the output end of the photoelectric isolator U1 are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply VCC.

[0035] A diode D10 and a resistor R8 are connected between the resistor R7 and the first pin of the input end of the photoelectric isolator U1, and a capacitor C5, a capacitor C6 and a resistor R9 are connected between the first and second pins of the input end of the photoelectric isolator U1. The connection node of the capacitor C5, the capacitor C6 and the resistor R9 on the first pin of the input end of the photoelectric isolator U1 is between the diode D10 and the resistor R8.

[0036] The resistor R8 is a voltage-dropping resistor, and the diode D10, the capacitor C5, the capacitor C6 and the resistor R9 form a rectification and filtering circuit, which rectifies and filters the discharge signal sampled by the resistor R7, and then isolates it through the photoelectric isolator U1.

[0037] The second pin of the 555 oscillator U2 is connected to the fourth pin of the output end of the photoelectric isolator U1, the third pin is connected to the base of the transistor Q4, the collector of the transistor Q4 is connected to the positive pole of the power supply VCC, and the emitter is connected to the negative pole of the power supply VCC.

[0038] The base of transistor Q5 is connected to the emitter of transistor Q4, the collector is connected to the positive electrode of power supply VCC, the emitter is connected to the negative electrode of power supply VCC, and the collector is connected to the control end of single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1.

[0039] The discharge signal sampled by the resistor R7 is converted into a negative pulse after rectification, filtering and photoelectric isolation, triggering the second pin of the 555 oscillator U2. Through the timing circuit in the 555 oscillator U2, the third pin of the 555 oscillator U2 is triggered to output a high-level signal for a certain period of time, thereby turning on the transistors Q4 and Q5, and converting the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 to a normally open state.

[0040] When the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 is in the normally open state, the resistors R15 and R14 are connected, and a normal resistance signal is output, that is, the sum of the resistances of the resistors R15 and R14, corresponding to the normal operation of the aircraft engine starting ignition device when it is powered on.

[0041] When the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 is in a normally closed state, the resistor R13 is connected, and the output resistance value, that is, the resistance of the resistor R13, corresponds to the aircraft engine starting ignition failure.

[0042] The aircraft engine starting ignition fault detection circuit disclosed in the above embodiment designs a sampling circuit in the discharge loop of the ignition circuit, rectifies and converts the sampled discharge signal, and uses a timing circuit and a delay circuit to output a stable resistance value for the normal operation of the circuit. If the aircraft engine starting ignition fault occurs and there is no sampling signal, the corresponding resistance value at the time of the fault is output, thereby realizing the detection of the aircraft engine starting ignition fault.

[0043] The aviation engine starting ignition fault detection circuit disclosed in the above embodiment was tested in high and low temperature environments and its performance was stable, meeting the product technical requirements.

[0044] In order to solve the difference in ignition cycle time during the discharge process, capacitor C9 is added to the emitter of transistor Q4. When transistor Q4 is turned off, capacitor C9 can provide power for transistor Q5 to continue to be turned on, ensuring that when the aircraft engine starting ignition device is powered on and working normally, the detection output has the resistance value when it is working normally. When the aircraft engine starting ignition fails and there is no discharge, transistors Q4 and Q5 are in the off state, the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 switches, and the fault detection outputs the resistance value when the fault occurs.

[0045] The sixth and seventh pins of the 555 oscillator U2 are connected to the positive electrode of the power supply VCC through the resistor R11, and the second pin is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply VCC through the capacitor C7, so that the pulse width of the high-level signal output by the third pin of the 555 oscillator U2 can be designed. Specifically, the pulse width of the high-level signal can be designed to be 128ms.

[0046] The fourth and eighth pins of the 555 oscillator U2 are connected to the positive electrode of the power supply VCC, the first pin is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply VCC, and the fifth pin is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply VCC through the capacitor C8.

[0047] The fourth pin of the output end of the photoelectric isolator U1 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply VCC through the resistor R10.

[0048] A resistor R12 is arranged between the emitter of the transistor Q4 and the base of the transistor Q5.

[0049] So far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
