Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive equipment testing technology, and in particular to an automotive ignition coil life testing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the continuous increase in car ownership, vehicle safety and reliability have received increasing attention. As a core component of the automotive ignition system, the performance of the ignition coil directly affects the engine's ignition efficiency, power output, and fuel economy. Therefore, accurately assessing the lifespan of the ignition coil is crucial for ensuring stable vehicle operation and improving user experience, making the development of a reliable automotive ignition coil lifespan testing device an urgent industry need.

[0003] The ignition coil is a key component of a car's ignition system, primarily responsible for converting the low voltage supplied by the vehicle's battery into a high voltage to generate a spark that ignites the fuel mixture in the engine cylinders. The ignition coil operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the ignition switch is closed, current flows through the primary coil. As the current increases, a strong magnetic field is generated around the primary coil, and the iron core stores this magnetic energy. When the switch disconnects the primary coil circuit, the magnetic field in the primary coil decays rapidly, inducing a high voltage in the secondary coil. This high voltage is delivered to the spark plug, generating an electric spark that ignites the combustible mixture in the cylinders.

[0004] In existing technologies, some testing devices do not test the ignition coil and spark plug together, but only test the ignition coil in isolation. This testing method makes it impossible to accurately determine whether the high voltage converted by the ignition coil is sufficient to successfully ignite the spark plug, and it is difficult to simulate the working state of the ignition coil under real working conditions. This results in significant limitations in the experimental results and cannot be used for quality inspection of the ignition coil. Therefore, an automotive ignition coil life testing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an automotive ignition coil life test device, including a housing 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A connecting tube 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector 20.

The sliding seat 26 provides a stable placement position for the coil body 27 and facilitates replacement during the test. The top of the sliding seat 26 is used to place the coil body 27.

[0040] Working principle: When the drive motor 7 starts, it drives the insulated elliptical wheel 8 to rotate. During the rotation, the insulated elliptical wheel 8 contacts the top of the conductive plate 5 and pushes the conductive plate 5. The conductive plate 5 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 6 and moves up and down. At the same time, the return spring 6 repeatedly extends and retracts. When the conductive plate 5 moves upward, it slides on the surface of the second wire 15 and the first wire 13 to realize the circuit connection. At this time, the positive terminal 10 of the power supply of the battery 9 is connected to the second wire 15 through the connecting wire 12 and the first wire 13, and the current flows out from the negative terminal 11 of the power supply to form a circuit, so that the coil body 27 can convert into high voltage current. The high voltage current is transmitted to the spark plug 25 through the connector 20 and the connecting tube 23. The spark plug 25 generates an electric spark, simulating the car ignition process, thereby determining the service life of the coil body 27.

[0041] When the coil body 27 needs to be replaced, rotate the rotating plate 21 to disengage it from the limit rod 22. Under the restoring force of the spring 28, the slide plate 18 moves the long plate 19 and the connector 20. After the connector 20 is removed from the top of the coil body 27, slide the old coil body 27 out of the box 1 through the sliding seat 26. After pushing the new coil body 27 into the box 1, push the long plate 19 to make the rotating plate 21 re-lock into the limit rod 22, lock the position of the slide plate 18, restore the connection state of the device and continue the test.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
