Abstract
An ignition distributor (10) for internal combustion engines having an electronic system for the adjustment of the instant of ignition has a high-voltage distributor (15-18) rotating in synchronism with the engine, the distributor rotor (17) of which is fixable in an infinitely variable manner by an angular amount on a plate (23) of the coupler sheath (20) of the centrifugal adjuster (19). In order to enable ignoring the tolerances of the cooperating parts, the functional position ocf the rotor electrode (18) is adjusted by means of an adjusting ring (31). By means of the centrifugal adjuster (19), the distributor rotor (17) is coordinated with the electronically generated ignition timing and a small diameter of the ignition distributor (10) is thereby made attainable.
Claims6
An ignition device, for internal combustion engines having
- an electronic system for the adjustment of both the ignition instant and the triggering of the ignition instant, and having a high-voltage distributor (10) rotating in synchrony with the internal combustion engine by means of a drive shaft (13), the high-voltage distributor (10) having a distributor rotor (17) with a rotor electrode (18) which supplies the ignition voltage via a respective fixed electrode (15) to at least one spark plug, and a cup-shaped housing (11) secured on the engine block, having a rim (37), and receiving the drive shaft,
- characterized by
- a centrifugal adjustor (19), the distributor rotor (17) and the drive shaft (13) being coupled via the centrifugal adjuster, which effects a follow-up adjustment of the distributor rotor with respect to the drive shaft (13), independently of the ignition triggering;
- an adjusting ring (31) determining the relative angular position of said rotor (17) and said centrifugal adjuster (19), said ring being mountable on the rim (37) of the housing (11) in only one defined position (38) and having a protrusion (34) pointing into the interior of the housing (11), which protrusion serves as a stop for the adjustment of the rotor electrode (18);
- and
- means (20, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30) for clamping the rotor (17) to the centrifugal adjustor (19) in an infinitely variable manner within an angular range.
