Definitions
- the invention relates to a two-stroke internal combustion engine in which selective control of the charge introduced into the combustion chamber by one or more intake ports is achieved, depending on the operating conditions of the engine.
- the intake ducts will be "fluffed" differently from one another depending on the operating conditions of the engine.
- the selective control of the introduction of the load according to the invention is carried out on two-stroke engines of the transverse scanning type, as defined below.
- the control can be applied to cases where the load introduced does not contain fuel, this being then introduced by a separate arrival.
- the pressure source used for supplying air or a fuel mixture to the cylinder may be constituted by a pressure source external to the engine, such as a compressor, a blower or any other pressurized capacity, or by an internal source such as than the pump housing.
- two-stroke engines have at least one cylinder in the upper part and a lower part, also called pump housing, given its main function, which ensures the introduction of fresh gas into the cylinder via one or more specific so-called “transfer” conduits. Lights or transfer openings in the cylinder allow this introduction.
- the piston which moves alternately in the cylinder ensures the suction in the casing and the compression of the fresh gases in the cylinder.
- Fresh gases are generally introduced at the pump housing through an opening provided for example with a non-return valve.
- the movement of the piston towards the upper part of the cylinder causes the suction of fresh gases in the pump casing while the reverse movement of the piston causes the compression of these gases which, when the transfer lights are released by the piston, are then injected under a certain pressure into the cylinder, which produces a sweep of fresh gases which then expel burnt gases.
- the burnt gases can escape through so-called exhaust openings made in the cylinder, slightly offset in height with respect to the transfer ports.
- fresh gas it is generally necessary to understand a mixture of air, fueled or not.
- the concept behind most of the improvements proposed consists in delaying the introduction of the fuel, which is done, for example, when the exhaust light is almost closed.
- delaying the introduction of fuel it must be introduced and vaporized in a very short time (of the order of 2 to 3 milli-seconds at high engine speed), which can be problematic.
- the charge of fresh gas does not contain fuel. It can be compressed, either by an external mechanical compressor, or by a source of compression supplied, for example, by the pump housing itself.
- the fuel is then injected directly into the combustion chamber, at high pressure, a pressure generally greater than 30 bars.
- Another type of two-stroke engine capable of delaying the introduction of fuel is based on the principle of pneumatic injection of the mixture.
- compressed air is used to help atomize and vaporize the fuel very quickly in the cylinder.
- Document EP-A-400338 discloses a two-stroke engine in which a flap is provided at each intake port in order to direct the jet of fuel entering the combustion chamber. The shutters are all moved the same way at a given time.
- the object of the present invention is in particular to provide an improvement in this type of control means since it relates to a two-stroke engine, comprising a cylinder in which a piston moves, a means allowing a charge under pressure to be admitted into said cylinder and at least two inlet openings in the wall of said cylinder, said openings cooperating with said load inlet means and means intended to close the passage sections of at least two of the inlet ports as a function of at least one engine operating parameter.
- the engine is of the transverse scanning type where the intake lights are grouped on the same side of the cylinder, all the exhaust openings being grouped on the other side of the cylinder and these two groups d openings being arranged on either side of an axial plane of symmetry of the cylinder in substantially symmetrical positions; the shutter means makes it possible to shut off the intake lights in a differentiated manner.
- This means may, for example, consist of a part that can move in rotation about an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and provided with at least one extension.
- the means for selectively closing said passage section may also consist, without departing from the scope of the invention, of a rotary plug comprising several through openings.
- the rotary plug can be provided for example with four through openings of different section two by two.
- the rotary plug may include three through openings not spaced from each other.
- the charge introduced may or may not contain fuel.
- the pressure source can be constituted by the pump housing or by a pressure source external to the engine such as a compressor or any other means known per se.
- FIG. 1 represents a classic example of embodiment of such an engine.
- the sweep is said to be transverse because the intake port (s) 20 are grouped together on the same side of the cylinder, all of the exhaust openings 3 being grouped on the other side of the cylinder, and these two groups of openings being arranged on either side of an axial plane of symmetry of the cylinder in substantially symmetrical positions.
- the sweeping gas which in the case of the engine of FIG. 1 comes from the pump housing, but which can also come from another pressure source, therefore describes a movement approximately defined by the arrows 11.
- Figure 2 shows how the invention can be applied to this type of two-stroke engine.
- a selective closure means 30 is placed in the intake duct 21 of the cylinder.
- This means 30 may be in the form of a rotary plug with an axis 31 perpendicular to the axis 1 of the exhaust duct.
- the plug 30 is provided with at least one through opening 32 whose shape and / or arrangement meet the intended application.
- the plug 30 can be provided with through openings 32 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- This configuration creates a swirling movement of gases in the combustion chamber.
- This swirling movement asymmetrical with respect to the plane of axial symmetry of the cylinder, can be advantageous in the case of engines with direct fuel injection. Indeed, this movement substantially in the form of a helix can help to mix and vaporize the liquid fuel introduced directly into the combustion chamber, thus creating better combustion conditions.
- FIG. 4 shows another example of a rotary plug 30 which is particularly suitable for transverse scanning motors.
- the plug 30 shown in this figure is provided with large through openings arranged in the central part, and smaller openings located on the periphery, on either side of the central openings.
- This arrangement allows, when the admitted flow rate is low, to better center the intake gases around the axis of the exhaust duct on which the spark plug is generally located. This is achieved by first sealing the intake ducts at the periphery before those located in the central part.
- the low charge is used optimally in terms of scanning the combustion zone.
- the gas flow passing through the plug is adjusted as a function for example of the engine load, the engine speed or another engine operating parameter.
- a rotation of the plug 30 around its axis 31 can in fact vary the flow rate of the admitted gases.
- a certain rotation can prevent any flow in the lateral openings and force all the gases to pass through the central openings.
- the load can be pressurized by the pump housing or by any other means.
- This means 60 is able to rotate about an axis 61 which may be perpendicular to the axis 1 of the exhaust duct and which belongs to a cross section of the duct d 'intake 21.
- the means 60 is located near the intake lumen 20 and is provided with as many extensions 62 as there are lights or divisions in the intake lumen. Each extension 62 in fact more or less partially covers the inlet lumen 20 according to the angle of rotation of the means 60 around the axis 61.
- the rotation is preferably limited by two stops, one 63 being defined for example through the upper part of the opening 20, the other stop 64 can be defined by the cylinder block itself.
- the position (a) in which the means 60 discovers the most light 20 is given in solid lines in FIG. 6 while the dotted lines represent the means 60 in its position of maximum overlap (b).
- the means 60 by modifying the same section of the lumen 20, makes it possible to vary the duration of opening of the intake duct (s). In addition, by modifying each light differently (or each light division), it creates a certain aerodynamics of the gases inside the combustion chamber.
- Figure 6 shows in a section perpendicular to the previous one, the variations of the opening of the intake lumen 20, where the "high" position (a) of the means 60 corresponds to the line 71 while the "low” position (b) of the means 60 is defined by the curve 72. It appears that in the "low” position (b), the closure is not identical at all the points of the transfer light (s) 20: the points those furthest from the axis of the intake duct A and E for example, cover the light 20 more than the points B, C and D closest to the axis. This difference is due to the fact that the displacement radius of the points is different.
- the means 60 therefore allows a selective reduction of the section in combination with the reduction of the angular duration of opening.
- an equivalent closure means can be used in the case where the intake duct 21 is divided at the level of the intake lumen 20 in three parts situated for example not symmetrically with respect to the axial plane of symmetry of the cylinder containing the exhaust axis 1.
- This arrangement of the lights 20 creates an asymmetrical, for example helical, movement of the gases as represented by the arrows 80 in FIG. 7 when the means 60 is in the high position, that is to say for the full opening of the lights 20 .
- This movement can however be made more symmetrical when the means 60 is in the maximum covering position (curve 92 in FIG. 8). Indeed, in this "low" position of the means 60, the peripheral light 20 is almost covered so that only the two lights located on either side of the axis of symmetry 1 allow the load to enter so significant in the combustion chamber. Preferably, these two lights will be closed (by means (60)) in the same way regardless of the position of the medium (60).
- FIG. 9 shows by arrow 100, the movement of the gases inside the combustion zone when the shutter means 60 are in the low position. Balancing of the scanning is thus obtained.
- a low position of the extensions at low load will be chosen while the high position, with full opening, will correspond to a high load setting.
- the profile of the part 60 is very important both for the duration of angular opening and for the internal aerodynamics of the gases in the combustion chamber.
- Any means known per se can be used to control the rotation of the means 60 as a function of at least one operating parameter of the engine.
- the pressure source can be constituted by the pump housing or by another means.
