Abstract
A piston 3 forming a wall of the exhaust duct 5 controls timing at the exhaust port 2. The piston 3 may be acted on by exhaust pressure or moved in dependence on engine load and speed. <IMAGE>
Description
A TWO STROKE ENGINE PROVIDED WITH MEANS
FOR CONTROLLING THE EXHAUST CONTROL ANGLE
The present invention relates to a two stroke engine provided with means for controlling the exhaust control angle in the exhaust duct in order to ensure favourable torque behaviour over a wide speed range.
The use of auxiliary exhaust ducts is known but they suffer from the disadvantage that, owing to the branching of the exhaust duct, the flow of exhaust gases during periods of high activity is adversely affected by eddy formation. In one known apparatus for controlling the exhaust control angle, a controller drum extending tangentially to the cylinder is guided directly downstream of the exhaust port through the exhaust duct, the drum being rotatable and adapted to the shape of the exhaust duct when the exhaust port is fully open. In the low-load range, rotation of the drum reduces the exhaust control angle and projects into the exhaust duct. The duct shape in this position of the'drum generates an eddy as a result of unfavourable flow conditions during the emission process and therefore does not create the optimum preconditions for turned intake pressure charging.
Various forms of flaps are also known which have been used to vary the exhaust control angle, the pivot point of said flaps being disposed parallel or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The disadvantage of these solutions however is that the control elements do not extend as far as the cylinder lining with the result that unfavourable flow conditions similarly occur. With these solutions, coking can also arise between the flap and the exhaust duct, thereby impairing the ability of the control element to function properly.
A slide valve control system is also known including a pipe-shaped distributing slide valve which is driven by the engine crank-shaft by way of a cam to open and close the intake and exhaust ports. In order to achieve a throttling of the intake and exhaust cross-sections to avoid a torque reduction in the medium speed range this pipe-shaped distributing slide valve can additionally be rotated about its axis, thereby varying the effective cross-sections of the intake and exhaust ports and doing so in a peripheral direction and not in terms of their height, so that such a construction is not suitable for controlling the exhaust control angle.
An exhaust control system is also known in which a flat slide valve, having a control edge adapted to the cylinder bore, is mounted perpendicular to the cylinder axis. When the distributing slide valve is in its operating position, it forms the control edge determining the emission process on the one hand and a portion of the wall on the cylinder head side of the exhaust duct on the other hand. If the exhaust duct is fully opened, long control paths have to be realised for the flat slide valve to terminate with its control edge flush with the wall of the exhaust duct and for transitions which are favourable to flow to arise.
These transitions favourable to flow are necessary in order, despite a fully opened exhaust port, to prevent any throttling action in the connecting duct.
It is an object of the invention to provide simple means which enable the exhaust control angle of a two-stroke internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder to be controlled according to the required operating conditions.
According to the invention, there is provided a two stroke internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder with an exhaust port communicating with an exhaust duct, a piston-like control element forming a portion of said exhaust duct and movable to vary the cross section thereof to control the exhaust control angle.
In a preferred embodiment, the control element is operable to narrow the cross section of the exhaust duct. The piston-like control element may be moved parallel to the cylinder axis or at an acute angle to it. In the case of control dependent on gas pressure, the piston-like control element and the regulating device may form a single structural component. The piston-like control element may be made of a ceramic material or a similar, heat-insulating material.
Preferably, the piston-like control element is longitudinally displaceable and disposed in the exhaust duct parallel to the cylinder longitudinal axis and, in dependence upon its position, determines the area of cross-section of the exhaust duct. The shape of the piston-like control element is adapted to that of the exhaust duct so that a continuously smooth duct progression is provided from the cylinder lining to the start of the exhaust gas system. The piston-like control element may be triggered according to the required operating conditions for each load and speed range.
By means of the construction according to the invention, the required exhaust angle is achieved in dependance upon the triggering of the piston-like control element and under optimum flow conditions in the exhaust duct.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a two stroke internal combustion engine with a piston-like control element for the exhaust duct in a rest position, and
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 but with the piston-like control element in its operating position.
Figures 1 and 2 show a two-stroke internal combustion engine in which exhaust duct aperture 2 in cylinder wall 6 of cylinder 1 is controlled by a working piston (not shown). For varying the exhaust port height and thus the exhaust control angle, a piston-like control element 3 is disposed parallel or at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder 1. The piston-like control element 3 is displaceable in exhaust duct 5 and is connected to a regulating device 4 by means of which a continuous lengthwise adjusting movement is achieved according to the required operating conditions.
The shape of the piston-like control element 3 is adapted to that of the exhaust duct 5, thereby achieving a continuously smooth duct transition with the result that, even when the port height is reduced, the flow path for the exhaust gases is not adversely influenced. The piston-like control element 3 is guided by the regulating device 4 which may be disposed either above or below the exhaust duct 5. Disposing it below the exhaust duct 5 creates more favourable cooling conditions, especially in air-cooled two-stroke engines.
To improve the cooling conditions, the piston-like control element 3 may also be made of a heat-insulating material, e.g. a ceramic material used in engine construction.
In order to permit appropriate displacement of the piston-like control element 3 to increase the exhaust port height and therefore the exhaust control angle, a control device may be provided which displaces the piston-like control element 3 in dependence upon the load and speed of the engine.
