Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aircraft engine starting and ignition circuit fault detection technology, specifically relating to an aircraft engine starting and ignition fault detection circuit. Background Technology

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

[0003] If the forward voltage drop of diode D4 increases, the voltage required for transistor Q1 to conduct will increase. This reduces the voltage drop across potentiometer RP1, resistor R3, and resistor R4, thus decreasing the current in the circuit. Conversely, if the forward voltage drop of diode D4 decreases, the voltage required for transistor Q1 to conduct will decrease. This increases the voltage drop across potentiometer RP1, resistor R3, and resistor R4, thus increasing the current in the circuit. Therefore, transistor Q1 adjusts the current in the feedback loop, acting like a variable resistor. When the circuit current reaches its maximum value I... P When the transistor Q2 is turned on, transistor Q3 is turned off, thus providing current protection.

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

[0005] Since the ignition electrode is installed inside the aircraft engine, it is difficult to visually determine whether the aircraft engine starting ignition device is malfunctioning when it is powered on. Therefore, this application is made. Summary of the Invention

[0032] When the ignition device of the aero-engine is normally powered, the end of the ignition electrode discharges, and a large current is generated on the discharge loop of the ignition circuit. Based on this, the present application provides an aero-engine starting ignition fault detection circuit, as shown in Figure 1 The resistance value of the output is used to judge whether the ignition device works normally, so as to realize the detection of the aero-engine starting ignition fault.

[0033] The resistance R7 is a sampling resistance, which is arranged on the discharge loop of the ignition circuit, as shown in Figure 3 When the ignition device of the aero-engine is normally powered, a large voltage will be generated across the resistance R7, which is a discharge signal.

[0034] The first and second pins of the input end of the opto-isolator U1 are connected across the resistance R7, and the fourth and third pins of the output end of the opto-isolator U1 are connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply VCC.

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

[0036] The resistor R8 is a voltage reduction resistor, and the diode D10, the capacitor C5, the capacitor C6 and the resistor R9 constitute a rectifier filter circuit, which rectifies and filters the sampled discharge signal of the resistor R7, and then isolates the discharge signal through the photoelectric isolator U1.

[0037] The second pin of the 555 oscillator U2 is connected to the fourth pin of the photoelectric isolator U1 output end, the third pin is connected to the base of the triode Q4, the collector of the triode 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 the triode Q5 is connected to the emitter of the triode Q4, the collector is connected to the positive pole of the power supply VCC, the emitter is connected to the negative pole of the power supply VCC, and the control end of the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 is connected to the collector.

[0039] After the rectification and filtering of the sampled discharge signal of the resistor R7 and the photoelectric isolation, a negative pulse is converted, which triggers the second pin of the 555 oscillator U2, and through the timing circuit in the 555 oscillator U2, a high-level signal of a certain time is output at the third pin of the 555 oscillator U2, so as to make the triode Q4 and the triode Q5 conduct, and make the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 convert to a normally open state.

[0040] When the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 is in the normally open state, the resistor R15 and the resistor R14 are connected, and a normal resistance signal is output, that is, the sum of the resistances of the resistor R15 and the resistor R14, which corresponds to the normal power-on working of the starting ignition device of the aero-engine.

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

[0042] The above-mentioned embodiment discloses an aero-engine starting ignition failure detection circuit, which 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 normal working of the circuit. If there is no sampling signal due to the starting ignition failure of the aero-engine, a corresponding resistance value is output when a failure occurs, so as to realize the detection of the starting ignition failure of the aero-engine.

[0043] The aero-engine starting ignition fault detection circuit disclosed in the above embodiment is subjected to high-temperature and low-temperature environment test verification, and has stable performance and meets the product technical requirements.

[0044] To solve the difference in ignition cycle time during the discharge process, the capacitor C9 is added to the emitter of the triode Q4. When the triode Q4 is turned off, the capacitor C9 can provide power for the continuous conduction of the triode Q5, ensuring that the detection output is normally working when the aero-engine starting ignition device is normally working. When the aero-engine starting ignition fails and there is no discharge, the triode Q4 and the triode Q5 are in the off state, and the single-pole single-throw normally closed relay J1 switch is actuated, and the resistance value of the fault detection output is in the fault state.

[0045] The sixth and seventh pins of the 555 oscillator U2 are connected to the positive pole of the power supply VCC through the resistor R11, and the second pin is connected to the negative pole 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, and the pulse width of the high-level signal can be specifically designed as 128 ms.

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