  • Patent number: 5181232
    Abstract: The revolutions of a diesel engine are counted by providing vibration detector converting the vibration propagating through the fuel injection pipe into an electric signal; an amplitude sorter for receiving the electric output signal of the detector and providing an output signal when the amplitude becomes larger than a predetermined level; a waveform shaper for receiving the output signal of the sorter and converting respective pulse groups to single pulse outputs. The respective pulses from the sharper are judged to determine whether signal pulse in the present period is within a predetermined allowable range or not, and thereby determining whether respective pulses are "normal" pulses or not. The number of normal pulses per unit time are counted and displayed on a monitor.

  • Patent number: 4565180
    Abstract: An exciter coil and pulser coil induce voltages in phase reversal to each other by the rotation of an internal combustion engine are provided. A first condenser and second condenser are charged with the negative and positive induced voltage of the exciter coil respectively. A second switching element conductive by the discharged voltage of the second condenser discharged through a first switching element conductive when the induced voltage of the pulser coil reaches a set level is connected in series with a circuit connecting the ignition coil and first condenser. A circuit controlling the switching time of the first switching element is operated so as to retard the operation of the second switching element in the low speed operation range of the engine and to advance the same in the high speed operation range. This circuit includes a further switching element operating in response to the voltage inducing state of the pulser coil.

  • Patent number: 4515140
    Abstract: A contactless ignition device for internal combustion engines comprising an exciter coil and pulser coil inducing voltages of phases reverse to each other with the rotation of the internal combustion engine, a first capacitor and second capacitor charged with voltages induced by the respective coils and switching elements connected in series in a circuit connecting the first capacitor with an ignition coil so as to conduct the voltage discharged by the second capacitor when either of both induced voltages reaches a set level. A control circuit controlling the switching time of the switching elements is connected to the switching elements so as to delay the operation of the second switching element with the control circuit in the low speed operation range of the engine and to advance the operation in the high speed operation range. This control circuit includes a switching element operating in response to the voltage inducing state of the exciter coil or pulser coil.

  • Patent number: 4385617
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device wherein a positive voltage induced in an exciter coil at the time of a high speed rotation is sensed, a switching transistor is switched on by the terminal voltage of a time constant circuit connected in series with the exciter coil through the switching transistor and, in spite of a negative voltage then induced in the exciter coil, the discharge of a discharging capacitor connected in series with an ignition coil to the ignition coil is delayed by a thyristor for controlling the discharge in response to the above mentioned time constant characteristic to delay the ignition speed, that is, to positively prevent the over-rotation of the internal combustion engine.
