What is the function of a distributor?
1 Answers
The function of a distributor is to connect and disconnect the low-voltage circuit, causing the ignition coil to generate high-voltage current. According to the engine's firing order, it distributes the high-voltage electricity to the spark plugs of each cylinder within the specified time to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The distributor consists of a circuit breaker, distributor cap, automotive teaching model, driving simulator, capacitor, wiring harness, and ignition advance device. The working principle of the distributor: The distributor's lobe is connected to the camshaft. When the engine rotates, it drives the camshaft, which in turn operates the distributor. Through the opening and closing of internal contacts within the distributor, the effect of cylinder-specific ignition is achieved.
