Abstract
Es wird eine Vorrichtung zum Zünden einer Brennkraftmaschine mit einem Zündlaser (4) vorgeschlagen, wobei der Zündlaser (4) in den Brennraum (3) einer Brennkraftmaschine hineinragt. Der Zündlaser (4) wird über einen Lichtleiter (7, 17) von einer Pumplichtquelle (14) optisch gepumpt.A device for igniting an internal combustion engine with an ignition laser (4) is proposed, wherein the ignition laser (4) protrudes into the combustion chamber (3) of an internal combustion engine. The ignition laser (4) is optically pumped via a light guide (7, 17) by a pumping light source (14).
Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zum Zünden einer Brennkraftmaschine nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs. Aus der WO 02/081904 ist bereits eine Vorrichtung zum Zünden einer Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, bei der an einem Zylinder einer Brennkraftmaschine ein Zündlaser angeordnet ist. Der Zündlaser wird von zwei Lichtquellen optisch gepumpt. Eine dieser Lichtquellen ist mit dem Zündlaser über eine Glasfaser verbunden, während die andere Lichtquelle unmittelbar an dem Zündlaser angebracht ist. Nur wenn beide Pumplichtquellen aktiv sind, wird durch den Zündlaser ein Lichtimpuls in den Brennraum einer Brennkraftmaschine eingebracht.The The invention is based on a device for igniting an internal combustion engine after the genus of the independent Claim. From WO 02/081904 is already a device to ignite an internal combustion engine, in which a cylinder on a Internal combustion engine an ignition laser is arranged. The ignition laser is optically pumped by two light sources. One of these light sources is about one with the ignition laser Glass fiber connected while the other light source is attached directly to the ignition laser. Just when both pump light sources are active, the ignition is triggered a light pulse is introduced into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of invention
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Zünden einer Brennkraftmaschine mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass nur eine Pumplichtquelle zum Pumpen und Aktivieren des Zündlasers vorgesehen ist. Die so aufgebaute Vorrichtung zum Zünden der Brennkraftmaschine ist daher besonders einfach aufgebaut, da auch keine weitere elektrische Zuleitung zu den Zündlasern benötigt wird.The inventive device to ignite an internal combustion engine with the features of the independent claim has in contrast the advantage that only one pump light source for pumping and activating of the ignition laser is provided. The thus constructed device for igniting the Internal combustion engine is therefore particularly simple in construction, as well no additional electrical supply to the ignition lasers is needed.
Weitere Vorteile und Verbesserungen ergeben sich durch die Merkmale der abhängigen Patentansprüche. Besonders vorteilhaft wird die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in einer Mehrzylinderbrennkraftmaschine angewendet, bei der dann mehrere Zündlaser vorgesehen sind, die jeweils einem Zylinder zugeordnet sind. Es wird für diesen Fall nur eine zentrale Einheit für den Pumplaser vorgesehen. Der Pumplaser kann besonders einfach eine Mehrzahl von Halbleiterelementen aufweisen, die jeweils zum Pumpen eines der Zündlaser vorgesehen ist. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, das Licht eines einzigen Halbleiterlaserelementes durch einen optischen Verteiler mehreren unterschiedlichen Zündlasern zuzuordnen. Die Lichtleiterstruktur wird besonders einfach als Glasfaser ausgebildet. Der Zündlaser ist besonders einfach aufgebaut, wenn er einen passiven Q-switch aufweist. Eine sichere Zündung wird gewährleistet, wenn der Zündlaser eine Fokussieroptik und ein entsprechendes Brennraumfenster aufweist.Further Advantages and improvements result from the characteristics of the dependent Claims. The device according to the invention is particularly advantageous in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine applied, in which then several ignition lasers are provided, the each associated with a cylinder. It will be for this Case only a central unit for provided the pump laser. The pump laser is particularly easy Have a plurality of semiconductor elements, each for pumping one of the ignition lasers is provided. Alternatively, it is also possible to use the light of a single semiconductor laser element through an optical distributor several different ignition lasers assigned. The light guide structure becomes particularly simple as a glass fiber educated. The ignition laser is particularly simple if it has a passive Q-switch. A safe ignition is guaranteed when the ignition laser has a focusing optics and a corresponding combustion chamber window.
