Ignition system for tandem-type hybrid vehicle

Abstract

An ignition system for a tandem-type hybrid vehicle. The tandem-type hybrid vehicle comprises a plurality of engines (100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150). The ignition system comprises: a plurality of ignition coils (101), each of the engines being configured to have at least one of the ignition coils, and each of the ignition coils comprising a primary winding and a secondary winding which are mutually matched; a single igniter (200) provided with a plurality of output ports (103) with the quantity corresponding to that of the plurality of ignition coils, each of the output ports being connected to the primary winding of one corresponding ignition coil so as to control the connection and disconnection of a current in the primary winding of the ignition coil; and an electronic control unit (300) for determining, according to a current power demand of the tandem-type hybrid vehicle, the engine to be started in the plurality of engines, determining the ignition coil to be boosted in the ignition coils in the engine to be started and issuing a corresponding ignition instruction, wherein the single igniter controls, according to the ignition instruction, the connection and disconnection of the current in the primary winding of the corresponding ignition coil to be boosted.
