Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided an internal combustion engine ignition device which comprises a switching element for causing or interrupting flow of a current through a primary coil of an ignition coil; a secondary current detection circuit connected to a secondary coil for detecting a secondary current flowing at the time of ignition; an ion current detection circuit for detecting an ion current generated after the ignition; and an energy consumption circuit which is activated based on an output signal from the secondary current detection circuit that is output when the secondary current exceeds a predetermined threshold value, to constitute a circuit for discharging energy stored in the ignition coil.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An internal combustion engine ignition device which comprises an ignition coil having a primary coil whose one end is connected to a power source terminal and a secondary coil whose one end is connected to an ignition plug; and a switching element which is serially connected to the other end of the primary coil and is ON/OFF controlled based on an ignition signal output from an ECU (Engine Control Unit) so as to cause or interrupt flow of a primary current th…
