Flame-Ejecting Spark Plug With Cavity And Holes For Stereoscopic Ignition

The patent divides the single point-shaped ignition source into multiple ignition points arranged in an array. Each electrode pair generates its own spark, creating numerous simultaneous ignition locations within the combustion chamber. This segmentation transforms the ignition process from a single-point source to a distributed multi-point system, significantly increasing both ignition area and combustion speed.

The patent transitions from a zero-dimensional point ignition source to a two-dimensional array of ignition points. The electrodes are arranged in a planar configuration that spreads ignition locations across a surface area rather than concentrating them at a single point. This dimensional expansion increases the effective ignition area and enables faster, more uniform combustion throughout the chamber.

The patent creates multiple copies of the basic electrode ignition unit arranged in an array pattern. Each electrode pair is a replicated version of the fundamental ignition element, generating plasma sparks simultaneously. This copying approach increases total ignition energy through multiplication of simple units rather than developing a single complex high-energy system, thereby maintaining structural simplicity while achieving high energy output.

The patent combines multiple simple electrode pairs into a unified array structure that functions as an integrated ignition system. The individual electrode units are merged into a coordinated arrangement where each contributes to the overall ignition energy. This merging of multiple simple components achieves the energy output of complex systems while maintaining the simplicity of individual units.

The patent segments the ignition function into multiple independent electrode pairs within a single spark plug body. This segmentation provides redundancy similar to using multiple spark plugs, ensuring that if one electrode pair fails, others can maintain ignition reliability. The segmentation is achieved within one compact unit rather than requiring multiple separate spark plug assemblies, thereby avoiding the complexity of managing multiple fuel supply systems.

The patent makes a single spark plug perform the multi-function of multiple spark plugs through its array of electrode pairs. This multi-functional design provides the redundancy and reliability of multiple ignition sources while consolidating the structure into one unit. The universal design eliminates the need for separate fuel supply systems for each ignition source, reducing overall system complexity and cost.

The patent replaces the mechanical diesel injection system with an electrical plasma ignition system. Instead of using a separate fuel supply system to inject diesel for compression ignition, the patent uses electrically excited plasma to create high-temperature ignition sources. This substitution eliminates the complex mechanical injection apparatus while achieving similar or superior combustion efficiency through controlled plasma energy delivery.

The patent changes the ignition mechanism from chemical (diesel self-ignition under compression) to physical (plasma-induced ignition). By altering the fundamental parameter of how ignition is achieved—from relying on fuel properties and compression heat to using controlled plasma energy—the system attains high thermal efficiency without requiring the complex dual-fuel supply infrastructure needed for compression ignition methods.
