Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は汎用エンジンの燃料供給に使用される回転絞り弁式気化器、詳しくは始動時に高濃度混合気を供給する機構を具えた回転絞り弁式気化器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
携帯作業機械や小形車両などの動力源に用いられている汎用2サイクルまたは4サイクルエンジンが低温始動時に要求する高濃度混合気を作ることが必要であり、汎用エンジンの燃料供給に使用される回転絞り弁式気化器にそのための燃料増量機構を具えることも普通に行なわれている。
【0003】
回転絞り弁式気化器における燃料増量機構の一つの形式として、運転者の手動操作により絞り弁を少し持ち上げてこれと一体に持ち上げられる計量針がノズル口の開口面積を少し大きくすることにより燃料増量を行なわせ、且つ運転者がアクセル操作を開始するまで絞り弁を燃料増量位置に保持させるようにしたものが知られている。
【0004】
即ち、実開平6−67841号公報には絞り弁直交方向に配置した手動の操作軸の先端に偏心または円錐のカム部を設けるとともに絞り弁レバーに係合手段を設け、操作軸を回転させることによりカム部が係合手段に係合して絞り弁レバーを持ち上げるとともに持ち上げ位置に固定するようにしたものが記載されている。
【0005】
また、実開平6−83943号公報には絞り弁直交方向に配置した手動の操作軸に偏心スリーブを嵌装するとともに偏心スリーブに円筒カム部材を嵌装し、操作軸を回転させることにより円筒カム部材が絞り弁レバーを持ち上げるとともに持ち上げ位置を維持するようにしたものが記載されている。
【0006】
更に、特開平10−131808号公報には絞り弁直交方向に配置した手動の操作軸の先端に傾斜カム面と係合溝とを設けるとともに絞り弁レバーに係合爪を設け、操作軸を押すことにより係合爪が傾斜カム面に沿って押し上げられ係合溝に係合して絞り弁レバーの持ち上げおよび持ち上げ位置での固定をするようにしたものが記載されている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
回転絞り弁式気化器は周知のように円柱形の絞り弁がアイドル位置から全開位置に回転したとき計量針がノズル口をアイドル開度から最大開度とするものであり、絞り弁と一体にその中心軸線方向へ移動する計量針のストロークはきわめて小さいものとされている。このため、気化器構成部品の製造上避けることのできないばらつき、これらの組立てによって生じる狂い、エンジン個々の特性の差異に対処してアイドル燃料を所定流量とするように、計量針の絞り弁への取り付け位置を調節可能としている。
【0008】
しかしながら、操作軸を回転動または直線動させることにより先端のカムが絞り弁レバーを持ち上げてノズル口の開口面積をアイドル開度よりも少し大きくし、始動時の燃料増量を図るものとした前記従来の燃料増量機構は、操作軸の寸法や設置位置、カムの形状、絞り弁レバーの殊にカムへの接触係合部分のばらつきや狂いによって、増量位置におけるノズル口開口面積のばらつきを生じ、低温始動時の要求高濃混合気に比べて稀薄または過濃の混合気を供給して始動を不調にすることがある、という心配を避けることができない。また、カムによる絞り弁レバーの持ち上げ量は一定であるので、エンジン個々の特性の差異、エンジン使用場所の気温の差異などに対応してそれぞれに適正な高濃混合気を供給することができない、という不便な側面を有している。
【0009】
前記実開平6−83943号公報に記載されている燃料増量機構は、偏心スリーブの操作軸への取り付けの位相を変えることによって絞り弁レバーの持ち上げ量が調節可能であることを示唆しているが、偏心スリーブを回して調整を終わったとき接着剤を用いて気化器側に固定する、という面倒な手順が必要であるばかりか、エンジン特性の経時変化や使用環境の変化に対応させるための再調整ができない、という不便がある。
【0010】
本発明は前述のように、構成部品のばらつきや組立ての狂いを簡単且つ再調整可能な手段で修正し、始動時に適正な高濃混合気を供給する位置に絞り弁レバーを持ち上げることができる燃料増量機構がなかった、という課題を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的とするところはきわめて簡単な手順で適正な高濃混合気を供給できる位置に絞り弁レバーを持ち上げる燃料増量機構を具えた回転絞り弁式気化器を提供することにある。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は気化器本体に吸気通路と直交させて配置した円柱形の絞り弁が回転しながら軸方向へ移動して吸入空気流量と燃料流量とを制御する回転絞り弁式気化器に具えさせる燃料増量機構を次のようにすることによって前記課題を伴わないものとした。
【0012】
即ち、本発明に係る燃料増量機構は、先端部が上下二部片に分割されているとともに基端側から分割部分に達する雌ねじ孔が設けられ気化器本体の上方に絞り弁の直交方向へ可動に配置した持ち上げ部材と、絞り弁レバーに設けた下向きの係合部と、分割部分の上方部片に設けた上向きの係止部と、雌ねじ孔に螺装した調整ねじとを有しており、絞り弁レバーをアイドル位置に置いて持ち上げ部材を後退位置から前進させることにより係止部が係合部と係合し、次に調整ねじをねじ込むことによりその先端が上方部片を上方へ曲げて絞り弁レバーを持ち上げるものとされている。
【0013】
アイドル位置においてアイドル燃料を所定流量とするように計量針の絞り弁への取り付け位置を調節しておく。そして、持ち上げ部材を前進させて上方部片を絞り弁レバーに係合させ、この上方部片を調整ねじにより上方へ曲げることにより絞り弁レバーを持ち上げ、これと一体に計量針が引き上げられることによってノズル口の開口面積が大きくなる。調整ねじのねじ込み深さによって上方部片の曲がりの大きさが無段階に可調節であり、このことによって簡単な手順で適正な高濃混合気を供給することができるようになり、また再調整も容易に行なうことができるようになる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態を説明すると、図1に示すように気化器本体1は横方向へ延びる吸気通路2およびこれと直交して縦方向へ延び下端を閉止した円筒形の弁孔3を有し、円柱形の絞り弁4が弁孔3に回転可能且つ軸方向へ可動に嵌め込まれている。
【0015】
絞り弁4はその中心軸線に直交させて吸気通路2とほぼ同一径の絞り通孔5を有しているとともに、中心軸線上に位置させて絞り弁軸6および計量針13を有している。絞り弁軸6は絞り弁4の上端部に固結されており、弁孔3の開放端を塞いで気化器本体1の上面に取り付けたカバー体10を貫通して外部に突出し、この突出端に絞り弁レバー8が固着されている。
【0016】
更に、弁孔3の絞り弁4とカバー体10との間の空間には、これらに両端を固定したねじりコイルばねからなる閉弁ばね9が絞り弁軸6を囲み且つ圧縮状態で収装されている。更にまた、絞り弁レバー8の下面には絞り弁軸6を中心とする円弧形のカム11が突出形成されており、その下向きのカム面11Aがカバー体10に突出形成した接触片12に接触させられている。
【0017】
計量針13は基端の雄ねじ頭体14を絞り弁軸6の雌ねじ孔7に螺装することによって絞り弁軸6に下向きに取り付けられ、絞り通孔5に上方から突出長さ可調節に突出している。一方、気化器本体1の下面にはダイヤフラム16によって大気室17から区画された定燃料室15が設けられており、この定燃料室15は図示しない燃料ポンプから送られてくる燃料の一定量を保有する。そして、定燃料室15の燃料は最大流量を規定する主ジェット18,吸気通路2から定燃料室15への空気流入を阻止する逆止弁19,パイプ状の燃料ノズル20を通ってその周側面に設けたノズル口21より吸気通路2に送出される。燃料ノズル20は絞り弁4の中心軸線上に配置されて絞り通孔5に下方から突出し、計量針13の先端部分を挿入させてノズル口21の開口面積を可変としている。
【0018】
運転者のアクセル操作によって絞り弁レバー8を旋回させると、これと一体に絞り弁4が閉弁ばね9をねじりながら回転し、絞り通孔5の吸気通路2との重なり度合いを大きくすることによって吸入空気流量を増加させる。これと同時に、カム面11Aに接触している接触片12がカム11の高さ増大に従って絞り弁レバー8と絞り弁4とを一体に押し上げ、計量針13の燃料ノズル20への挿入深さを浅くしてノズル口21の開口面積を大きくすることによって燃料流量を増加させる。以上は従来の回転絞り弁式気化器と同じである。
【0019】
次に、本発明の主要部分である燃料増量機構の実施の形態を図1,図2,図3に基づいて説明する。本実施の形態に係る燃料増量機構25はカバー体10に一体成形して気化器本体1の外側方に設置した支持部材26に設けた支持孔27に嵌装して絞り弁4の中心軸線に対して直角の方向へ可動とされた持ち上げ部材28を具えている。
【0020】
支持孔27は断面矩形の角形であり、持ち上げ部材28は基部に断面矩形の本体29を有していて、この本体29が支持孔27に嵌め込まれることにより回転不可且つ前後可動に支持部材26に支持されている。また、この持ち上げ部材28は本体29の基端に板状の押圧片30を一体に有するとともに、先端に本体29よりも小矩形断面の作動片31を一体に突出させて有している。作動片31は先端から基端近くに亘って水平面上に設けた割溝32によって上方部片34と下方部片37とに分割されている。
【0021】
上方部片34は先端面から後上方へ向かって延びる傾斜誘導面35を全幅に亘って有するとともに、傾斜誘導面35に連続して形成した突起からなる係止部36を上面34Aに上向きに突出させて有している。割溝32は奥端に上方部片34の方へ曲げられた補助割溝33を有している。また、下方部片37は上方部片34の先端よりも前方へ突出しており、本体29の下面と同一平面に形成された下面37Aに支持孔27の底面および気化器本体1の上面に重ねられているとともに、先端に下方へ突出させて設けた案内突起38が気化器本体1の上面に設けた案内溝39に嵌め込まれている。この案内突起38と案内溝39とにより、持ち上げ部材28の前後方向最大移動距離が規制され、且つ後述する戻しばね40による持ち上げ部材28の支持孔27からの抜け出しが防止される。
【0022】
押圧片30と支持部材26との間には圧縮コイルばねからなる戻しばね40が装入されており、持ち上げ部材28はこの戻しばね40によって案内突起38が案内溝39の端縁に接した図示の後退位置に置かれる。
【0023】
更に、持ち上げ部材28には基端面に開放して割溝32による分割部分に達する雌ねじ孔41が設けられており、先端に円錐状の調整片44を有する調整ねじ43が螺装されている。更にまた、絞り弁レバー8のアイドル位置において上方部片34と向かい合う端縁に突起からなる係合部45が下向きに突出して設けられている。
【0024】
尚、本実施の形態ではアイドル位置における絞り弁レバー8の下面8Aと上方部片34の上面34Aとがほぼ同一平面上に位置するようにされている。また、割溝32の上面と雌ねじ孔41の中心軸線とがほぼ同一平面上に位置するようにされている。
【0025】
このような実施の形態に係る燃料増量機により高濃混合気を得る操作手順を説明すると、持ち上げ部材28が戻しばね40により後退しており絞り弁レバー8がアイドル位置とされている図3,図4(A)から、押圧片30を指で押して持ち上げ部材28を前進させると、傾斜誘導面35が係合部45に接して絞り弁レバー8を持ち上げるようになる。このときの状態は図4(B)に示されており、持ち上げ部材28を更に前進させると係止部36が係合部45を乗り越えさせてこれらが係合するとともに係合部45が上方部片34の上面34Aに乗る。このときの状態は図4(C)に示されており、指を押圧片30から離しても持ち上げ部材28は前進位置に保持され、絞り弁レバー8は係合部45の高さだけ持ち上げられることとなる。尚、このとき割溝32の上面と雌ねじ孔41の奥面との交点42に調整片44の先端が接する位置に調整ねじ43をねじ込んでおくことにより、上方部片34が下方へ撓むことが防止される。
【0026】
次に、ねじ回しを用いて調整ねじ43をねじ込むと、調整片44の円錐状外側周面に交点42が接して上方部片34を上方へ曲げるようになる。即ち、上方部片34は割溝32を拡げて上方へ曲げられるものであり、本実施の形態では上方部片34側に設けた補助割溝33の奥端かど部33Aを曲げの支点としているので、小さいねじ込み力で容易に曲げることができる。そして、上方への曲げによって上面34Aに係合部45を乗せている絞り弁レバー8は更に持ち上げられ、図4(D)に示す状態となって絞り弁レバー8と一体に持ち上げられた計量針13によるノズル口21の開口面積を所要の高濃混合気が供給される大きさとする。
【0027】
持ち上げ部材28は絞り弁レバー8を図4(D)に示す位置に固定保持しているが、運転者のアクセル操作によりアイドル位置の絞り弁レバー8を絞り弁4の開度増大方向へ旋回させると、係合部45が係止部36から外れて持ち上げ部材28は戻しばね40によって以後の絞り弁レバー8の旋回の支障とならない後退位置に戻る。
【0028】
前記の調整を施した気化器を搭載したエンジンの特性の経時変化や使用環境の変化などによって最適の混合気濃度が変化した場合、調整ねじ43を戻すかまたは更にねじ込むという簡単な操作で再調整することができる。殊に、本実施の形態では調整の際に先ず絞り弁レバー8が係合部45の高さだけ持ち上げられるので、調整ねじ43による上方部片34の上方への曲げ量は僅かで足り、最初の調整はもとより再調整をきわめて簡単且つ容易なものとする。
【0029】
もっとも、アイドル位置における係合部45の頂面を上方部片34の上面34Aとほぼ同一平面上に位置するようにしておき、必要な持ち上げを調整ねじ43のねじ込みによる上方部片34の曲げのみで行なうものとしても本発明の目的を達成させることができる。
【0030】
また、上方部片34に傾斜誘導面35を設けなくても係合部45を係止部36と係合させることができるが、絞り弁レバー8の下面8Aと上方部片34の上面34Aとをほぼ同一平面上とした本実施の形態にあっては、傾斜誘導面35は上方部片34の先端面が係合部45に引っ掛かって前進不能になる、という不都合を生じさせない利点がある。更に、傾斜誘導面35は構成部品のばらつきや組付けの狂いにより係合部36と係合部45との上下位置関係に差異を生じても、係合部45を引っ掛けることなく誘導して係止部36と係合させることができる。
【0031】
上方部片34は調整の際に調整ねじ43によって上方へ曲げられたとき、曲がりを更に大きく或いは小さくする方向に微調整して絞り弁レバー8を所要の持ち上げ量に到達させるのが通常の手順である。そのために、上方部片34の上方への曲げは弾性変形であることが好ましく、持ち上げ部材28は弾性変形可能な金属または合成樹脂で作られる。
【0032】
持ち上げ部材を合成樹脂製とした場合、雌ねじ孔41は予め設けておくことなく下孔を形成しておき、調整ねじ43にタッピングねじを使用して下孔にねじ立てをしながらねじ込んで雌ねじ穴41の形成と上方部片34の曲げとを同時に行なってもよい。このようにすると、調整ねじ43の緩みやがたつきがなくなって絞り弁レバー8を持ち上げ位置に安定よく保持することができる。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明によると持ち上げ部材を押してその先端の上方部片に絞り弁レバーを係合させて乗せ、次に調整ねじをねじ込んで上方部片を上方へ曲げる、というきわめて簡単な手順で構成部品のばらつきや組立ての狂い、エンジンの特性や使用環境の差異にかかわらずそれぞれに最適の高濃混合気を供給する位置に絞り弁レバーを持ち上げることができ、また再調整も同様の手順で容易に行なうことができるものである。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rotary throttle valve carburetor used for supplying fuel to a general-purpose engine, and more particularly to a rotary throttle valve carburetor having a mechanism for supplying a high-concentration air-fuel mixture at startup.
[0002]
[Prior art]
It is necessary for a general-purpose two-cycle or four-cycle engine used in power sources such as portable work machines and small vehicles to produce a high-concentration air-fuel mixture required at the time of low-temperature starting, and the rotation used to supply fuel for the general-purpose engine It is common practice for a throttle valve carburetor to have a fuel increasing mechanism for it.
[0003]
As one type of the fuel increasing mechanism in the rotary throttle valve type carburetor, the metering needle which is slightly lifted by a driver's manual operation and lifted up integrally with the throttle valve slightly increases the opening area of the nozzle port to increase the fuel. And a throttle valve is held at a fuel increasing position until a driver starts an accelerator operation.
[0004]
That is, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-67841, an eccentric or conical cam portion is provided at the tip of a manual operation shaft arranged in a direction orthogonal to the throttle valve, and an engagement means is provided on the throttle valve lever to rotate the operation shaft. Describes that the cam portion engages with the engaging means to lift the throttle valve lever and to fix the throttle valve lever at the lifting position.
[0005]
In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 6-83943, an eccentric sleeve is fitted to a manual operation shaft arranged in a direction orthogonal to the throttle valve, and a cylindrical cam member is fitted to the eccentric sleeve. It is described that the member lifts the throttle valve lever and maintains the lifting position.
[0006]
Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-131808, an inclined cam surface and an engagement groove are provided at the tip of a manual operation shaft arranged in a direction orthogonal to the throttle valve, and an engagement claw is provided on the throttle valve lever to push the operation shaft. This describes that the engaging claw is pushed up along the inclined cam surface and engages with the engaging groove to lift the throttle valve lever and fix the throttle valve lever at the lifting position.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As is well known, a rotary throttle valve carburetor has a metering needle that changes a nozzle port from an idle opening to a maximum opening when a cylindrical throttle valve rotates from an idle position to a fully open position, and is integrated with the throttle valve. The stroke of the measuring needle moving in the direction of the central axis is extremely small. For this reason, in order to cope with inevitable variations in the production of the carburetor components, inaccuracies caused by the assembly thereof, and differences in the characteristics of the individual engines, the throttle valve of the metering needle is set to a predetermined flow rate so that the idle fuel is supplied at a predetermined flow rate. The mounting position is adjustable.
[0008]
However, by rotating or linearly moving the operating shaft, the cam at the tip lifts the throttle valve lever to make the opening area of the nozzle opening slightly larger than the idle opening, thereby increasing the fuel at startup. In the fuel increase mechanism of the above, the variation in the opening area of the nozzle at the increase position causes a variation in the opening area of the nozzle at the increase position due to the variation and deviation of the operation shaft dimensions and the installation position, the shape of the cam, the contact portion of the throttle valve lever, especially the cam. It is unavoidable that the start-up may be malfunctioned by supplying a mixture that is leaner or richer than the required rich mixture at the start. Also, since the lift amount of the throttle valve lever by the cam is constant, it is not possible to supply an appropriate rich / enriched mixture to each of the differences in the characteristics of the individual engines and the difference in the temperature of the place where the engine is used. It has an inconvenient aspect.
[0009]
The fuel increasing mechanism described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 6-83943 suggests that the lift amount of the throttle valve lever can be adjusted by changing the phase of the mounting of the eccentric sleeve on the operation shaft. When the adjustment is completed by turning the eccentric sleeve, it is necessary to perform a troublesome procedure of fixing it to the carburetor side using an adhesive, and it is also necessary to re-adjust to engine characteristics over time and changes in the use environment. There is inconvenience that adjustment cannot be performed.
[0010]
As described above, the present invention provides a fuel capable of correcting the dispersion of component parts and assembly errors by means of simple and re-adjustable means, and raising the throttle valve lever to a position for supplying a proper rich air-fuel mixture at startup. It was made to solve the problem that there was no fuel increase mechanism, and the purpose was to raise the throttle valve lever to a position where an appropriate rich air-fuel mixture could be supplied by a very simple procedure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotary throttle valve type carburetor comprising:
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a fuel provided in a rotary throttle valve type carburetor which controls an intake air flow rate and a fuel flow rate by rotating a cylindrical throttle valve arranged in a carburetor body in a direction perpendicular to an intake passage so as to move in an axial direction while rotating. The above problem is not accompanied by the following mechanism of the increasing mechanism.
[0012]
That is, in the fuel increasing mechanism according to the present invention, the distal end portion is divided into two upper and lower pieces, and a female screw hole reaching the divided portion from the base end side is provided, and is movable in the orthogonal direction of the throttle valve above the carburetor main body. A lifting member provided on the throttle valve lever, a downward engaging portion provided on the upper part of the divided portion, and an adjusting screw screwed into the female screw hole. When the throttle valve lever is set to the idle position and the lifting member is advanced from the retracted position, the locking portion engages with the engaging portion, and then the adjusting screw is screwed in so that the tip bends the upper piece upward. To lift the throttle valve lever.
[0013]
The mounting position of the metering needle on the throttle valve is adjusted so that the idle fuel has a predetermined flow rate at the idle position. Then, the lifting member is advanced to engage the upper piece with the throttle valve lever, and the upper piece is bent upward by an adjusting screw to lift the throttle valve lever, and the measuring needle is lifted up integrally with this. The opening area of the nozzle opening increases. The degree of bending of the upper part can be adjusted steplessly depending on the screw-in depth of the adjusting screw, which allows the supply of an appropriate rich mixture in a simple procedure and re-adjustment Can be easily performed.
[0014]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a carburetor body 1 has an intake passage 2 extending in a horizontal direction and a cylindrical shape having a lower end closed perpendicularly to the intake passage 2 in a vertical direction. A cylindrical throttle valve 4 having a valve hole 3 is rotatably fitted in the valve hole 3 and movably in the axial direction.
[0015]
The throttle valve 4 has a throttle through hole 5 having a diameter substantially the same as that of the intake passage 2 perpendicular to the center axis thereof, and has a throttle valve shaft 6 and a measuring needle 13 located on the center axis. . The throttle valve shaft 6 is fixed to the upper end of the throttle valve 4, closes the open end of the valve hole 3, penetrates through a cover body 10 attached to the upper surface of the carburetor body 1, and projects outside. The throttle valve lever 8 is fixedly mounted.
[0016]
Further, in a space between the throttle valve 4 and the cover body 10 in the valve hole 3, a valve closing spring 9 composed of a torsion coil spring having both ends fixed thereto surrounds the throttle valve shaft 6 and is housed in a compressed state. ing. Furthermore, an arc-shaped cam 11 centering on the throttle valve shaft 6 is formed on the lower surface of the throttle valve lever 8 so that a downward cam surface 11A is formed on the contact piece 12 formed on the cover body 10. Are in contact.
[0017]
The metering needle 13 is attached to the throttle valve shaft 6 downward by screwing the male screw head 14 at the base end into the female screw hole 7 of the throttle valve shaft 6, and projects from the upper portion of the throttle through hole 5 so as to be adjustable in length. ing. On the other hand, a constant fuel chamber 15 partitioned from an atmosphere chamber 17 by a diaphragm 16 is provided on the lower surface of the carburetor main body 1, and the constant fuel chamber 15 is used to store a certain amount of fuel sent from a fuel pump (not shown). Possess. The fuel in the constant fuel chamber 15 passes through a main jet 18 that regulates the maximum flow rate, a check valve 19 that prevents air from flowing into the constant fuel chamber 15 from the intake passage 2, and a pipe-shaped fuel nozzle 20. Is delivered to the intake passage 2 from the nozzle port 21 provided in the nozzle. The fuel nozzle 20 is arranged on the central axis of the throttle valve 4 and projects from the lower part of the throttle through hole 5 so that the tip of the measuring needle 13 is inserted so that the opening area of the nozzle port 21 is variable.
[0018]
When the throttle valve lever 8 is turned by the driver's accelerator operation, the throttle valve 4 rotates while twisting the valve-closing spring 9 integrally therewith, thereby increasing the degree of overlap of the throttle through hole 5 with the intake passage 2. Increase the intake air flow. At the same time, the contact piece 12 that is in contact with the cam surface 11A pushes the throttle valve lever 8 and the throttle valve 4 together as the height of the cam 11 increases, thereby reducing the insertion depth of the metering needle 13 into the fuel nozzle 20. By increasing the opening area of the nozzle port 21 by making it shallow, the fuel flow rate is increased. The above is the same as the conventional rotary throttle valve type carburetor.

In the present embodiment, the lower surface 8A of the throttle valve lever 8 and the upper surface 34A of the upper piece 34 at the idle position are located substantially on the same plane. The upper surface of the split groove 32 and the central axis of the female screw hole 41 are located on substantially the same plane.
[0025]
An operation procedure for obtaining a rich air-fuel mixture by the fuel intensifier according to such an embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows that the lifting member 28 is retracted by the return spring 40 and the throttle valve lever 8 is at the idle position. From FIG. 4A, when the lifting member 28 is advanced by pushing the pressing piece 30 with a finger, the inclined guide surface 35 comes into contact with the engaging portion 45 and lifts the throttle valve lever 8. The state at this time is shown in FIG. 4 (B). When the lifting member 28 is further advanced, the engaging portion 36 gets over the engaging portion 45 so that they are engaged and the engaging portion 45 is moved upward. It rides on the upper surface 34A of the piece 34. The state at this time is shown in FIG. 4C. Even when the finger is released from the pressing piece 30, the lifting member 28 is held at the advanced position, and the throttle valve lever 8 is raised by the height of the engaging portion 45. It will be. At this time, by screwing the adjusting screw 43 into a position where the tip of the adjusting piece 44 is in contact with the intersection 42 between the upper surface of the split groove 32 and the inner surface of the female screw hole 41, the upper piece 34 is bent downward. Is prevented.
[0026]
Next, when the adjusting screw 43 is screwed in with a screwdriver, the intersection 42 comes into contact with the conical outer peripheral surface of the adjusting piece 44, and the upper piece 34 is bent upward. That is, the upper part 34 expands the split groove 32 and can be bent upward. In the present embodiment, the back end corner 33A of the auxiliary split groove 33 provided on the upper part 34 side is used as a fulcrum of bending. Therefore, it can be easily bent with a small screwing force. By upward bending, the throttle valve lever 8 having the engaging portion 45 placed on the upper surface 34A is further lifted up, and is brought into the state shown in FIG. The opening area of the nozzle port 21 by 13 is set to a size to supply a required high-concentration air-fuel mixture.
[0027]
The lifting member 28 fixedly holds the throttle valve lever 8 at the position shown in FIG. 4D, but turns the throttle valve lever 8 at the idle position in the direction of increasing the opening of the throttle valve 4 by the accelerator operation of the driver. Then, the engaging portion 45 is disengaged from the locking portion 36, and the lifting member 28 is returned by the return spring 40 to the retracted position where the rotation of the throttle valve lever 8 is not hindered.
[0028]
When the optimal mixture concentration changes due to a change over time in the characteristics of the engine equipped with the above-described carburetor or a change in the use environment, the adjustment screw 43 is returned or further adjusted by a simple operation of further screwing. can do. In particular, in the present embodiment, the throttle valve lever 8 is first lifted by the height of the engaging portion 45 at the time of adjustment, so that the amount of upward bending of the upper portion 34 by the adjusting screw 43 is small, and In addition to the re-adjustment, the re-adjustment is extremely simple and easy.
[0029]
However, the top surface of the engaging portion 45 at the idle position is set to be substantially flush with the upper surface 34A of the upper portion 34, and the necessary lifting is performed only by bending the upper portion 34 by screwing the adjustment screw 43. The object of the present invention can be achieved also by performing the above.
[0030]
Further, the engaging portion 45 can be engaged with the locking portion 36 without providing the inclined guiding surface 35 on the upper portion 34. However, the lower surface 8A of the throttle valve lever 8 and the upper surface 34A of the upper portion 34 In this embodiment, the inclination guide surface 35 has an advantage that the inclining guide surface 35 does not have a disadvantage that the distal end surface of the upper piece 34 is caught by the engaging portion 45 and cannot be advanced. Further, even if a difference occurs in the vertical position between the engaging portion 36 and the engaging portion 45 due to the dispersion of the components and the improper assembly, the inclined guiding surface 35 can guide without engaging the engaging portion 45 to engage. The stop 36 can be engaged.
[0031]
When the upper piece 34 is bent upward by the adjusting screw 43 at the time of adjustment, it is a normal procedure to finely adjust the bending so as to further increase or decrease the bending so that the throttle valve lever 8 reaches a required lifting amount. It is. To this end, the upward bending of the upper piece 34 is preferably elastic, and the lifting member 28 is made of an elastically deformable metal or synthetic resin.
[0032]
When the lifting member is made of a synthetic resin, the female screw hole 41 is not formed in advance but a pilot hole is formed, and the adjusting screw 43 is screwed into the pilot screw using a tapping screw while being screwed into the female screw hole. The formation of 41 and the bending of the upper piece 34 may be performed simultaneously. In this way, the adjusting screw 43 is not loosened or rattled, and the throttle valve lever 8 can be stably held at the raised position.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a very simple procedure of pushing the lifting member, engaging the throttle valve lever on the upper piece at the tip thereof, and then screwing the adjustment screw to bend the upper piece upward.
