What is a distributor?

Ignition system according gasoline cylinder firing order to regularly spread the high voltage spark plug of each cylinder member.

1. Distributor action

distributor is used to turn on and off the low voltage circuit, high-voltage current of the ignition coil, and in accordance with the firing order of the engine, within a predetermined time, assigned to the high-voltage spark walled each cylinder, ignite the mixture.

is mainly used in a traditional distributor ordinary electronic ignition system and ignition system, the ignition system both of which have been substantially eliminated. Now the car engine basically canceled the distributor said Distributorless computer control ignition system.

2. Distributor Composition

by a breaker, distributor, ignition timing adjustment means, and capacitor components.

3. Distributor works

In battery ignition systems, the distributor and typically do breaker on the same axis, by a valve driven by the camshaft. It also has adjusting means and the ignition timing capacitor.

off breaker contact arm spring piece using closed off cam with the contacts open, opening a gap of about 0.30 to 0.45 mm. The number of cam projections off the same number of cylinders. When the contacts open, the distributor arm is precisely aligned with a respective distributor-side electrode, a high voltage induced by the secondary coil through the distributor arm-side electrode, the high pressure transmitted to the respective cylinder spark plug lead.
