In this article you will learn about this element of the car as the distributor. What is it and why is it needed, what types there are, what are the basic principles of its functioning, you will learn from this material. Domestic cars have several kinds of the ignition system – contact, contactless, microprocessor. If you look at the history of the development of all these systems, it is possible to detect that there are intermediate modifications. But they are usually not widespread. For example, the contact-transistor in which the interrupter switches low-voltage circuit area.

Contact ignition

distributor what is it

A Good example – it's the system and the distributor 2106. On “classics” was used only pin-ignition models from the VAZ-2109, were the only electronic. If you close your eyes on all the flaws, you can see the obvious advantages of the contact system – the simplicity and low cost. No complicated and scarce elements, but the reliability of those that are set extremely low. And all this is due to the fact that a lot of friction present in the system. Sometimes for no reason, no reason at all start to lose spark, the engine is “which”, has become unstable.

In this case, the perpetrators may be two – the carb or the ignition. In particular, the distributor – what it is, why this behavior it causes? The fact that the contact group is constantly in motion. In addition, between Cams is constantly a spark, which leaves them Nagar. Because of this, loses contact, changing the set clearance. And the best way out of this situation – the panel replacement and adjustment of the gap.

Electronic (contactless) ignition

distributor VAZ

It can be found on the car VAZ classic series of the second half of 90-ies of the issue as well as on all machines beginning in 2108, released until the early 2000's. the fact that in the early 21st century began to actively use the injector of the injection system, and to control them requires a somewhat different design of the ignition. The main difference between contactless system discussed above-the lack of contact breaker.

Instead, the distributor 2109, for example, is equipped with a proximity sensor operating on the Hall effect. All management is done on circuits with low current and voltage. The required pulse frequency sets the Hall sensor, but it is a single trigger wire to the switch. Besides, it is used for the tachometer in the dashboard. Please note that some people make a kind of theft deterrent. The wire from the tachometer through the secret switch is connected to ground. As a result the ignition not fully working.

Adjusting dis

distributor 2109

The VAZ-2108 and newer that have electronic ignition, and set the time advance is very simple. The most important thing – is install camshaft and crankshafts on labels. Please note that incorrectly it is impossible to put the distributor (what's that, you already know). The fact that it is installed on the camshaft in one position, rotate 90 or 180 degree is impossible.

So when put marks on the shafts and set the belt timing, you can start fine-tuning. The distributor should be located on the axis so that the mark on the head cover unit is opposite the middle line. In this case, the spark advance is 0 degrees. Rotating the distributor housing clockwise or counterclockwise, you can change the lead angle in the smaller or big party. To make these actions provided that you have at least a strobe.

Design distributor

distributor 2106

The Distributor, or the distributor (what it is known to every motorist), consists of several elements. First, it is a metal housing. It is made of aluminum alloy, it has a positive effect on the level of protection from interference. Second, the rotor of the distributor, which is connected to the runner and the camshaft. Thirdly, the runner, which has two contact – external and internal (in the center). On the internal high-voltage current with external it removed, and goes to the contacts in the distributor cap. Between internal and external contacts is a resistance. It is necessary for the absorption of interference. Inside the case there are several elements – the Hall sensor, the vacuum and centrifugal controls ignition angle. All these elements allow to operate the engine in normal operation under all conditions.

Conclusion

Now you know where the distributor used the WHA and how it happens. On modern cars this mechanism is completely disposed of, since all control feed the spark occurs through a complex system of sensors and actuators. And adjustment of the lead angle takes place only by modifying the software in the electronic control module.
