Since the energy storage is basically a fixed value, and the energy storage is usually designed to meet the maximum demand of the extreme normal working state, the ignition system works according to the maximum demand throughout the life cycle, thereby increasing the load of the engine when working in normal state, which has a certain impact on the life of the ignition nozzle.
[0038] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of an existing ignition circuit of an aircraft engine. After the ignition circuit is connected to the ignition power supply, the power supply signal is filtered through a filter, and the voltage signal is transmitted to the subsequent DC-AC inverter circuit, which is stepped up by the step-up transformer T1, and then rectified by the D1 rectifier silicon stack to charge the energy storage capacitor C1. When the voltage across the energy storage capacitor C1 reaches the breakdown voltage of the discharge tube V1, the discharge tube V1 breaks down and conducts, and the electric energy stored in the energy storage capacitor C1 is stepped up by the secondary step-up transformer T2 and released at the discharge end of the ignition nozzle to form an electric spark. Figure 1 The disadvantages of the existing ignition circuit shown are as follows: the energy storage is a fixed value and is designed according to the energy storage required under the limit state of the engine operating envelope.
