Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air filter for an on-vehicle internal combustion machine for enhancing the combustion rate of the internal combustion machine by building it so as to supply oxygen having relatively high concentration. SOLUTION: A separated electrode band is installed in the circumference of the internal air filter, ions are generated around the electrode needle thereof, the air is passed to the electrode band and thereby, the oxygen or the like in an active state at ordinary temperature is ionized. At that time, nitrogen in an inactive state at ordinary temperature is not ionized. By utilizing this phenomenon to negatively charge the air filter impregnated with an active substance and dried, the activated oxygen can be delivered into a combustion chamber with high priority, and the oxygen having high concentration can continuously be supplied as compared with a conventional air filter. A series of conventional systems can be used without remarkably changing them.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[Technical field to which the invention pertains]
The present invention relates to an air filter for a vehicle-mounted internal combustion engine that supplies a high concentration of oxygen.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional air filters include a wet type (viscus type) in which a special semi-dry oil is impregnated into sifted paper or the like, and a dry type in which sponges and the like are superposed one on another. The performance required of the conventional air filter is such that it can remove dust and the like contained in the air in the air during the process of sending the amount of air required for combustion of the vehicle-mounted internal combustion engine into the combustion chamber. Only sex. Further, with respect to a conventional internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle, a significant improvement in the combustion rate has been required, but this has not been possible.

[0003] The combustion element of an internal combustion engine is generated between fuel and oxygen, but oxygen in the air is often used for the reaction. If oxygen is insufficient, the combustion reaction is terminated in an incomplete state of oxidation of the fuel, resulting in incomplete combustion. In the case of incomplete combustion, CO, H ₂ , unburned fuel components, soot and the like are found in the combustion gas. Further, since these unburned components are present in the exhaust gas, air pollution has become a serious problem worldwide. In a conventional vehicle-mounted internal combustion engine, a sufficient amount of oxygen was not fed in for combustion, and incomplete combustion as described above was performed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is designed to supply oxygen at a higher concentration than conventional air filters, and to increase the combustion rate of an internal combustion engine.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An internal air filter having a cylindrical shape, a polygonal cylindrical shape, a mushroom shape, a honeycomb type cylindrical shape or the like is impregnated with copper sulfate or an active material having an equivalent effect. , Dry and place properly. In addition, one or more separation electrode strips, which are metal mesh filters of an appropriate size and shape with an appropriate number of electrode needles installed in a staggered manner at an appropriate distance from the internal air filter, can be used. Install. In order to prevent this electrode needle from electrolytic corrosion due to oxidation, use a metal that is not easily oxidized (white, Kanthal, etc.), or use a composite material (tungsten alloy, platinum alloy, etc.) or plate (platinum, etc.) Alternatively, it is coated with a hardly oxidizable resin (such as polycarbonate) or a paint. In addition, one or more appropriate DC converters, voltage regulators, frequency converters, static voltage generators, etc. will be installed at appropriate positions in order to immediately generate and maintain static voltage in the internal air filter, An accurate potential can be adjusted for this filter so that an appropriate static voltage can be maintained. In addition, one or more appropriate voltage regulators, static voltage generators, etc. will be installed at appropriate positions in the future to switch the polarity and immediately generate and maintain the static voltage on one or more separated electrode bands. In addition, an accurate potential can be adjusted for the separation electrode band, and an appropriate electrostatic voltage can be maintained for this. The internal air filter and the separation electrode band are installed with appropriate insulation from each other. The power source is an appropriate vehicle-mounted generator. By maintaining an appropriate electrostatic voltage in each of the internal air filter and the separation electrode band, each polarity is generated, and ions are generated on the surface of the internal air filter and around the pole needle of the separation electrode band. In the process in which air in the atmosphere is carried into the combustion chamber, first, oxygen and the like which are active at normal temperature are ionized by the separation electrode band. At this time, nitrogen and the like which are inactive at room temperature are not ionized. In addition, an internal air filter that has been impregnated with the active material appropriately and dried (-)
By charging (minus), it is possible to obtain more efficient dust-absorbing properties, and it is possible to send an appropriate amount of activated oxygen into the combustion chamber more preferentially. This makes it possible to supply a moderately high concentration of oxygen, that is, to increase the oxygen concentration. Then, since the high-concentration oxygen is sent into the combustion chamber, the combustion speed is increased, so that the compression ratio in the combustion chamber can be reduced. Further, since the combustion speed is high, ignition is performed at a more appropriate angle with respect to the crankshaft, and expansion is also performed at an appropriate angle, so that the effective energy transmission rate is improved. For this reason, SOx, NO in the exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber after the combustion reaction
x, CO ₂ , CO, HC, SPM (suspended particulate matter) and the like are reduced, and in the case of a gasoline internal combustion engine, benzene and the like contained in non-combustible substances can be almost completely burned. In addition, when the combustion temperature is high, that is, when high-temperature combustion is performed, the emission amount of NOx is generally larger than when the combustion temperature is low. Further, NOx is generated irrespective of the combustion method and the type of fuel, but in general, a larger amount of NOx is emitted when the combustion chamber load is high than when it is low. In the present invention, as described above, the compression ratio in the combustion chamber may be low, and expansion is performed at an appropriate angle with respect to the crankshaft. Therefore, even when high-temperature combustion is performed, NOx emission is extremely small. In the present invention, atmospheric air is sucked from an air filter, burns,
There is no need to significantly change the conventional system in the exhaust stroke.

An appropriate number of electrode needles coated with polycarbonate, for example, are arranged in a staggered triple at appropriate positions outside of this, and electrodes for inner, middle, and outer rings of appropriate size and shape are placed above and below this. Install an appropriately sized and shaped separation electrode strip to which the terminals are joined. The upper and lower inner, middle, and outer ring electrode terminals of the triple electrode strip are insulated from each other and are constructed so as to maintain the required static voltage.
The positional relationship between the electrode needles connected to the electrode terminals of the inner ring, the middle ring, and the outer ring is determined to be an optimum position for oxygen ionization. For example, assuming that an AC power supply by an AC generator is used to immediately generate and maintain the static voltage of, and, as shown in FIG.

In addition, this,

When installing the cover when using this device, install an air outlet on the opposite side of the air intake as shown in Fig. 7, and use an appropriate exhaust device to reduce the low oxygen concentration (high nitrogen concentration) inside the cover. Exhaust the air.
