Optical ignition
This utility model refers to electronic ignition device for gasoline motor vehicles, of the type that uses an electronic - electronic collection censor inside the car on a car, composed of an infrared light emitting diode and a detector phototransist, and also said device comprises an opaque element which has openings and screens and also includes an electric harness and a conventional electronic modulus for Make conduct or interrupt the current by the primary of the ignition coil; In addition, the opaque element is a rotating steering wheel, which includes a disk with a hole in the center, where said steering wheel presents flat projections or screens on the periphery of the disc and also these outgoing are perpendicular to the disk and extends to the lower part of said disc, so that the central hole of the disc coupled with the central axis of the ignition distributor of a car, so that the rotating steering wheel coincides in its lower part with the base. From the cam, in this way the projections or screens of the rotating steering wheel interrupt of the spark in the spark plug.
They are based on the emission of an infrared light, capturing it with a photodiod. To do this, a ranking or perforated sheet is housed on the distributor axis; The censor is located opposite to the light emitter and the disk or grooved sheet and when turning allows every time there is a slot or drilling, the emission of the light is obtained or opened with respect to the reader or photoelectric censor. If this album has for example 50 slots in its periphery, the censor will detect 50 signals for each return of the disc, sending this signal to the computer, who determines the number of engine turning revolutions.
