[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and specific embodiments will be given.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a multi-cylinder single ignition device includes a triggering component, an ignition component, and a control component. The triggering component includes a detection mark disposed on the engine flywheel 2 and a trigger 3 for identifying the detection mark. Multiple sets of trigger 3 are provided. In this embodiment, the detection mark includes a groove formed on the engine flywheel 2 or a protrusion 10 disposed on the engine flywheel 2. The trigger 3 identifies the detection mark by detecting changes in the surface structure of the engine flywheel 2, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection mark is a protrusion 10 set on the engine flywheel 2, and the protrusion 10 is set on a smooth surface of the engine flywheel 2, avoiding the gear ring and other structures on the engine flywheel 2 (the engine flywheel 2 is a conventional component in the engine in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail) to avoid affecting the detection.
[0025] Specifically, this embodiment provides a design for a trigger component: the engine flywheel 2 is made of a ferromagnetic material (e.g., steel, iron), and the trigger 3 includes a permanent magnet and a sensor for detecting changes in the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet generates a magnetic field, and the engine flywheel 2 rotates in the magnetic field. When the groove or protrusion 10 is aligned with the permanent magnet, the distance between the groove or protrusion 10 and the permanent magnet changes compared to the originally smooth surface of the engine flywheel 2, resulting in a change in the magnetic field strength. The sensor can be a Hall effect sensor from the prior art to detect the change in magnetic field strength, and then determine whether the detection mark has moved to the trigger 3.
[0026] In the actual design process, trigger 3 can also use other principles to detect changes in the surface structure of engine flywheel 2. For example, it can detect the distance between the surface of engine flywheel 2 and the distance sensor by using a distance sensor, or it can identify changes in the surface structure of engine flywheel 2 by using a vision sensor. As long as the changes in the surface structure of engine flywheel 2 can be detected and the detection mark can be identified, it is acceptable.
[0027] The ignition assembly includes a power supply 1, an ignition module 5 electrically connected to the power supply 1, and multiple ignition lines connected to the ignition module 5. The number of ignition lines and triggers 3 are identical and correspond one-to-one. Each ignition line includes a high-voltage wire 6 and spark plugs 7 connected to the high-voltage wire 6. The high-voltage wire 6 is used to supply high-voltage electricity to the spark plugs 7 for ignition. In actual use, the power supply 1 is a car battery. The ignition module 5 includes multiple ignition switches connected to the high-voltage wire 6 and a transformer connected between the ignition switches and the power supply 1. A low-voltage wire 4 connects the power supply 1 and the transformer. The transformer is a high-frequency step-up transformer, which converts low-voltage electricity into high-voltage electricity. The car battery generates a low-voltage current, which is converted into a high-voltage current by the transformer. The opening and closing of the ignition switch controls the high-voltage current to enter the high-voltage wire 6. The high-voltage current flows along the high-voltage wire 6 to the electrodes of the spark plugs 7, where it discharges at the electrode gap to form a spark, thus achieving ignition.
[0028] The control components include an ignition controller. The ignition controller uses a conventional microcontroller or a controller that implements control logic according to a PLC program. The signal receiving end of the ignition controller is used to receive the trigger signal of the trigger 3. The signal output end of the ignition controller is used to control the ignition circuit corresponding to the trigger 3 to be energized and ignited according to the received trigger signal. Specifically, the ignition controller is used to control the opening and closing of the corresponding ignition switch.
[0029] In practical application, this embodiment takes a twin-cylinder engine as an example. Two sets of triggers 3 and ignition circuits are provided, with the left trigger 3 corresponding to the left ignition circuit and the right trigger 3 corresponding to the right ignition circuit. Based on the rotation of the engine flywheel 2, when the detection marker rotates with the engine flywheel 2 to the right trigger 3, the right trigger 3 detects the detection marker and transmits the detection signal to the ignition controller. The ignition controller then controls the ignition switch of the right ignition circuit to close, allowing high-voltage electricity to enter the right high-voltage wire 6, and the right spark plug 7 ignites. Correspondingly, when the detection marker rotates with the engine flywheel 2 to the left trigger 3, the ignition controller controls the ignition switch of the left ignition circuit to close, and the left spark plug 7 ignites.
[0030] In another embodiment of this utility model, the trigger assembly includes a mounting plate 9 for mounting the trigger 3. The trigger 3 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 9, specifically, the trigger 3 is bolted to the mounting plate 9. The mounting plate 9 can be designed to be arc-shaped and mounted on the outside of the engine flywheel 2. The trigger 3 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 9. When installing the trigger 3, the trigger 3 can be first installed on the mounting plate 9 according to the required angle between multiple triggers 3, and then the mounting plate 9 can be directly installed on the outside of the engine flywheel 2. This avoids the problem of low assembly efficiency caused by having to find and adjust the angle near the engine flywheel 2 for each trigger 3 individually.
[0031] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, an engine is also disclosed, including multiple ignition cylinder blocks 8, an engine flywheel 2, and a multi-cylinder single ignition device as described in any of the preceding embodiments. The ignition circuits correspond one-to-one with the multiple ignition cylinder blocks 8, meaning that the spark plug 7 of each ignition circuit is assigned to one ignition cylinder block 8 for ignition. During actual assembly, the angle formed between the axes of adjacent trigger 3s and the engine flywheel 2 is consistent with the angle formed between the axes of adjacent ignition cylinder blocks 8.
