Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for internal combustion engines of passenger cars, trucks, buses, agricultural machines, ships, boilers and the like, and uses gasoline, light oil, heavy oil, Improve the quality of liquid fossil fuels such as kerosene quickly and powerfully, reduce fuel consumption of internal combustion engines, increase horsepower and torque, and reduce CO, HC,
The present invention relates to a fuel reforming device capable of obtaining a significant reduction in particulate matter and black smoke.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fuel reforming method for an internal combustion engine includes a method using a magnet, a method using a metal, a method using a ceramic, a method using an ore powder such as tourmaline and barley stone,
Various methods such as a method using a combination of a plurality of methods among these methods have been tried. Most of these methods are used by directly mounting them in a fuel tank.

[0003] Utility Model Registration No. 3033623 discloses a technique in which a mixed spherical body of ceramic powder and ore powder is put into a cylindrical container and immersed in a fuel liquid in a fuel tank. This technique is a method in which a hard metal plate that has been formed into a cylindrical shape by making a hole in a hard metal plate is used, and this is mounted in a fuel tank.

[0004] A technique using barley stone powder disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-197048 is also a method of directly charging a fuel tank.

[0005]

The conventional fuel reformer has two problems. The first point is that today's passenger cars and the like have a structure in which objects cannot be put in the fuel tank, and it is difficult to mount a fuel reforming apparatus of a type immersed in the fuel tank. The reason is that the fuel system of passenger cars often has a thin and distorted fuel supply pipe or a check valve or a foreign matter prevention net in the middle of the fuel supply pipe. Impossible. The second point is that the utility model registration number 303 described in paragraph number 0003
The point is that a hard metal container is used, such as a cylindrical container used in the technique of No. 6323. Hard metal containers
There is a danger of damaging the fuel tank or generating sparks due to vibrations and shocks during vehicle running, and there is a problem in safety.

[0006] Further, the prior art generally has a high manufacturing cost and a low degree of improvement in fuel efficiency. According to the results of various tests performed by the inventor during the development of the present invention, the fuel efficiency improvement rate was 1%.
In the case of 5% or less, it is almost difficult for the driver to have a feeling of improvement in fuel efficiency in daily driving with different driving conditions. In order for a driver to feel an improvement in fuel efficiency, an improvement rate of 20% or more is required. Fuel reforming equipment that does not allow the driver to feel an improvement in fuel efficiency does not spread to society. Therefore, in order to spread fuel reforming equipment, save petroleum fuel and reduce harmful exhaust gas, and contribute to the improvement of the social environment, it is necessary to use 20
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fuel reforming technology capable of realizing an improvement rate of 30% or more when driving on a highway and at a low price.

[0007] There are four problems to be solved by the present invention for the above problems. First of all, a fuel reforming device that can be easily attached to a passenger car, a truck, a bus, or any other power machine having an internal combustion engine without modifying the refueling system structure. Second, a highly safe fuel reforming device that does not damage the inside of the fuel tank due to vibrations or shocks when the vehicle is running, or does not generate sparks due to collision with a fueling system structure.
Third, a fuel reforming device that achieves a high fuel efficiency improvement of 20% or more in daily city driving and 30% or more in highway driving. Fourth, it must be able to be manufactured at low prices and be widely used in society. In developing the present invention, the above four points were addressed as problems to be solved.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] First of the problems to be solved,
The following two measures have been taken to ensure that any type of power engine can be easily installed without modifying the lubrication system structure. The first countermeasure is to use a check valve or a foreign matter prevention net in the fuel supply pipe of passenger cars, as well as equipment (Figs. 3 and 4, for trucks, buses, and other power engines) that can be put into the fuel tank. Invented a fuel reforming device (FIGS. 1 and 2, for passenger cars) which is a device mounted in front, that is, near the fuel filler port, and uses a flexible tube made of stainless steel mesh as a container for the fuel reforming member. did.

The shape and use method of the above-described device (for a passenger car) of the type attached near the filler port is as follows.
A fine mesh net made of stainless steel is wound into several layers to form a cylinder, which is strictly welded to form a container for a fuel reforming member. A stainless steel chain is attached to this container, and a stainless steel wire having a high elasticity of 4 to 20 cm in diameter (the required diameter varies depending on the oil filler and the thickness of the pipe) is attached to the end of the chain. To install the equipment on a passenger car, simply put the container (equipment main body) into the oil supply pipe from the filler port, push the wiring in an elliptical shape, and release it in the pipe near the filler port. The resilient rebound of the wiring remains close to the filler port. According to the present invention, the fuel reforming device can be attached without breaking the check valve or the foreign matter prevention net of the passenger car or the like. Further, since the stainless steel mesh container is flexible, it can be attached even if the oil supply pipe is distorted.

[0010] The shape and usage of the equipment (for trucks, buses, and other power engines) of the type to be put in the fuel tank are as follows. A fine mesh net made of stainless steel is wound into several layers to form a cylinder, which is strictly welded to form a container for a fuel reforming member. The size of the container varies depending on the vehicle used. A thin stainless wire is attached to the container, and a snap is attached to the end of the wire. To mount the equipment on the vehicle, put the container (main body of the equipment) into the fuel tank from the filler port and snap it around the filler port (a hole in the circular metal plate provided directly below the filler port or the back of the filler cap). To stop.

[0011] As a second measure against the first problem to be solved described in paragraph [0008], even if the fuel is not constantly immersed in the fuel in the fuel tank, that is, when the fuel is refilled from the refill port, an instantaneous flow occurs in the refueling pipe. We have developed a fuel reforming member that can sufficiently reform the fuel simply by immersion.

The fuel reforming member is obtained by heat-treating the Tamine granite rock according to claim 1 of the present invention and a radioactive rare earth ore produced in Jilin Province of the People's Republic of China at a ratio of 4: 1. It was possible to have a strong and instantaneous acting force.

[0013] The second problem to be solved by the present invention is that the safety device does not damage the fuel tank and does not generate a spark against vibration or impact.
The problem was solved by using the stainless steel mesh cylinder described in 9 and 0011 as a container for the fuel reforming member. The stainless steel container is flexible, so it does not collide with impact and emit no spark. This has achieved shock absorption, safety, oil resistance, and rust prevention.

As for the third problem, a fuel reformer capable of realizing a high fuel efficiency improvement rate of 20% or more in daily city driving and 30% or more in highway driving, as a result of various trials and errors, it was found that Tamine granite rock. And a radioactive rare earth ore produced in Jilin Province were heated and mixed to create a granular fuel reforming member. As will be described in detail in a later production example, the modified member allows 20-35% in daily city driving and 3% in highway driving.
It achieves a 0-45% improvement in fuel economy, a 12-15% improvement in horsepower and torque at 2500-3000 rpm, which is a practical rotational speed of an automobile engine, and a black smoke and an odor of exhaust gas in a diesel vehicle. Successfully reduced harmful exhaust gas to a state where almost no gas is present.

The fourth problem, that it can be manufactured at low cost and can be widely used in society, is feasible. Tamine granite rock, radioactive rare earth ore from Jilin Province, SUS304 stainless steel net, the same chain and the same wire as the material of the fuel reforming device of the present invention can be easily obtained, and the jig and the welding method However, the fuel reforming apparatus of the present invention can be manufactured at a low cost without requiring a highly difficult technique.

[0016]

The Tamine granite, which is the center of the fuel reforming member in the present invention, strongly emits far-infrared rays as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and emits a microcurrent and microvibration in a liquid. Mixing it with radioactive rare earth ores from Jilin Province further enhances their working power and instantaneous working ability. This effect has a very long duration and is completely restored by the heat treatment. The reforming of petroleum fuel and the improvement of combustion efficiency are attributable to the fact that the molecular bonds (clusters) of the liquid fuel are fragmented by the above-mentioned action, thereby increasing the complete combustion rate in the internal combustion engine, and burning at a higher temperature. Brought.
