Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a core structure, specifically a core structure for a high-energy ignition coil used in automobiles. Background Technology
[0002] The ignition coil is the core component of the ignition system, responsible for converting low voltage to high voltage to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders, driving the vehicle. Lean-burn technology improves fuel economy and reduces emissions by increasing the air-fuel ratio (exceeding the stoichiometric ratio of 14.7:1), but it places higher demands on the ignition system. Lean-burn mixtures contain fewer fuel molecules, requiring higher ignition energy to ensure reliable ignition. Traditional ignition coils have limited energy output, which may lead to ignition failure or incomplete combustion, causing engine misfire, reduced power, and increased emissions. Most ignition coils currently on the market use a primary coil that receives low voltage and generates a magnetic field. The iron core concentrates the magnetic field, improving energy conversion efficiency. The secondary coil induces a high voltage, which ignites the air-fuel mixture through the spark plug. The ignition energy is determined by the primary winding current and the primary inductance, while the primary magnetic field is determined by the shape, structure, and size of the iron core. Increasing the ignition coil energy presents technical challenges, such as excessive size and excessive heat generation due to high current. Utility Model Content
