Description

  The present invention combines air, ozone, moisture-controlled water vapor, and negative ions into a mixed gas, and in particular, in order to prevent the decrease of negative ions as much as possible, this mixed gas is reduced to the shortest distance in a short time in a compression spark ignition combustion of an automobile. The present invention relates to a system that can be introduced into a compression self-ignition combustion engine to improve combustion, and can be installed in an engine room of an automobile, particularly in an air cleaner box.

  The basic performance of a combustion engine is evaluated mainly by three points: output, fuel consumption, and exhaust emission. In conventional combustion using fossil fuels, the combustion technology in the combustion chamber has been considerably improved, but since it is not yet complete, some of the oxygen and fuel in the supplied air are left unburned as they are as HC (unburned). Exhausted as hydrocarbons).

Therefore, in order to reduce HC (unburned hydrocarbon) emissions, it is necessary to improve the combustion of an internal combustion engine that performs compression spark ignition combustion and compression self-ignition combustion. Therefore, as a conventional example, a technique is disclosed in which an ozone supply device is installed in an intake system of an automobile internal combustion engine, and ozone is supplied to air sucked into the engine (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). A conventional technique for improving combustion in an internal combustion engine using steam is also disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Furthermore, since it is necessary to improve the combustibility of the fuel in the supply of negative ions, a number of techniques for generating negative ions in the intake system of an automobile internal combustion engine have been disclosed as conventional techniques for supplying negative ions ( For example, see Patent Documents 4 and 5.)

  Conventionally, a small discharge negative ion generator exists. For example, they are used in small air purifiers, negative ion generating hair dryers, etc., but their discharge cable ends are brush-like with a length of 2 to 3 mm and a diameter of about 1 mm, bundled with fine wires. A discharge part or a needle-like discharge part having a length of about 15 cm is used.

  In order to improve compression spark ignition combustion and compression self-ignition combustion, it is necessary to improve the combustibility of the internal combustion engine. Thus, as a conventional example shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a technique for supplying ozone to air sucked into an internal combustion engine is disclosed, but the amount of ozone generated to be supplied is at most several tens mg / h (hours). However, since a large amount (several hundred mg / h or more) of ozone is necessary, the volume of the device itself becomes large. For this reason, installation in the engine room of a car is quite difficult, and it is extremely difficult to install an ozone supply unit with an ultra-compact high-concentration ozone generator that generates a large amount of air that can be installed inside the air cleaner air piping path, especially inside the air cleaner box. Although it was difficult, the technical idea existed, but practical use has hardly been made even now.

  The technology as a conventional example of improvement in combustion of an internal combustion engine using steam as disclosed in Patent Document 3 is mechanically complicated, and a steam generator is installed in an automobile engine room where there is no room for current space. It is extremely difficult to provide.

The same applies to negative ion generators such as those disclosed in Patent Documents 4 and 5, and ceramic particles can be installed in an outside air inflow air piping path such as an air cleaner box or an intake pipe. The idea of sticking an anion-seal negative ion generator made of alloy is still popular, but in all cases, the negative ion generation amount is from several hundreds / cm ³ to several hundreds / cm ³ , Fine dust adheres to the surface of the negative ion generation product, and the negative ion generation is not constant, and there is no long-term stability and sustainability.

  In addition, the internal combustion engine combustion improvement measures with a built-in discharge negative ion generator also require a large amount of negative ions to be supplied, which increases the volume of the device itself, so it is installed inside the air cleaner box in the engine room of the automobile. However, there is a device for attaching the negative ion supply section from the outside air inflow air piping path, particularly from the outside of the intake pipe. However, all the methods are to install a negative ion generator in an empty space in the engine room, connect the discharge wire to the discharge negative ion generator output side, and penetrate the hole from the outer surface of the intake pipe or intake manifold hold. It is difficult to attach the method in which the tip discharge part of the discharge wire is inserted from the through hole and negative ions are generated inside the intake pipe or intake manifold hold.

In addition, the conventional fuel efficiency improving agent, fuel efficiency improving material, and fuel efficiency improving device by negative ions in the air inflow path in the automobile engine room, which have been known so far, are only devised to generate negative ions. In this case, the optimum humidity of negative ions is 40% or more, and if it is less than that, the generation amount will decrease, and the generation amount will decrease extremely even at extremely high concentration humidity, so the optimum is said to be 40% or more to 60%. The conventional negative ion generator does not take into account the correlation between air humidity and negative ions. Since the time was extremely remarkable and there was no stable reliability, and the air humidity in the engine room during the dry season was 10% or less, almost no negative ion generation against such air can be expected. The reason for this is that the production of negative ions depends on the humidity. Generally, the relative humidity is preferably about 40 to 60%, and when the humidity reaches 80%, the clusters (particles) of water molecules become larger. Because it changes to. Such phenomenology is based on a paper that the amount of negatively charged (negative ions) is several hundred to several thousand particles / cm ³ and increases to 8000 particles / cm ³ when the relative humidity exceeds 60%. It is publicly known.

  In addition, with regard to the properties of negative ions, the amount of negative ions generated at the negative ion generation portion decreases exponentially with distance, and even in the time series, negative ions disappear exponentially in the exponential logarithm over time. It is known that there is.

  In the discharge type negative ion generation, it is difficult to connect a long cable with a needle-like single wire discharge part in a micro discharge negative ion generator consisting of a brush-like discharge part bundled with fine electric wires and a needle-like discharge part. Therefore, it is difficult to install a discharge part at an arbitrary position inside a pipe or the like with many bent portions.

Means for solving the problems of the invention according to claim 6 are: an ultra-compact DC12V power discharge type high output ozone generator with a maximum ozone generation amount of 1000 mg / h (hours) and a maximum negative ion generation number of 6 million pieces / cm ^3. The ultra-compact DC12V power discharge type high output negative ion generation power supply device is installed inside the air cleaner box in the car engine room and connected to the high voltage output side of the high concentration ozone and the ultra small DC12V power discharge type high output negative ion generation power supply device. Combustion of an internal combustion engine that performs compression spark ignition combustion and compression self-ignition combustion of an automobile using a mixture of high-concentration negative ions generated from the tip of a high-voltage withstand voltage electric wire inserted and installed inside the intake pipe It has the system which supplies to a chamber.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, air first passes through a discharge type ozone generator having an electrode discharge part, so that it is ozonized, and the ozone mixed gas is mixed with water vapor produced by a humidifying device to mix ozone and water vapor. The gas is a mixed gas of ozone and water vapor that is sensed by the humidity sensor and controlled by the humidity controller, and is connected to the high voltage output side of the discharge negative ion generator power supply device and inserted into the intake pipe. When the negative ions are added when coming into contact with the discharge part, the air still contains water, so it comes into contact with the negative high voltage discharge (around DC minus 7,000 V) part of the discharge negative ion generation power supply device instantaneously, Some water is separated into hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxide ions (OH +), and the hydrogen ions (H +) combine with electrons to form hydrogen. On the other hand, hydroxide ions (OH +) are combined with water molecules (H2O) to form hydroxyl ions (H3O2), commonly called negative ions, and are sent to the combustion engine and supplied to the combustion chamber. The system stem has a high-concentration ozone that promotes combustion when the mixed gas of ozone and oxygen is in contact with combustibles (combustion oil, etc.) that are highly reactive with ozone, and negative ions. Is a cluster of oxygen mass groups that are agglomerated, so that it becomes a more combustible accelerating gas, so the optimum humidity state and higher flammability are improved at the closest point on the combustion side of the internal combustion engine in the intake pipe. A mixture of negative ions, ozone and slightly increased hydrogen gas, which maximizes the characteristics of each, is introduced into the combustion engine in a very short time and burned. When steam is in contact with an internal combustion engine that is further increased in temperature and is in a very high temperature, vaporization of water vapor particles occurs at once, and combustion is promoted by a rapid increase in pressure, so that a very remarkable effect can be obtained. It is characterized by that.

  In the HC measurement with an exhaust gas tester (Fuji Electric ZFC), the HC was 190PPM-210PPM when the system was not installed in the Subaru Fileo model, but the measurement result when the system of the present invention was installed was reduced to 140PPM-160PPM. did.

  According to the invention according to claim 2, a flexible and optional high voltage withstand voltage cable terminal connected to the high voltage output side of the ultra-compact DC12V power discharge type high output negative ion generation power supply device is provided with a needle-like protective cover. If the discharge part of the high voltage withstand voltage cable of the discharge part is inserted and approached to the internal combustion engine side of the intake pipe and high concentration negative ions are generated at that position, the exponential logarithm with respect to distance and time It is an extremely effective method that can reduce the negative ion decrease and can be easily installed and installed.

  According to the third aspect of the invention, it is known that the appropriate humidity of the negative ions and the humidity environment is around 60%. Since the period is extremely low humidity, it is extremely impediment to the generation of negative ions, so a moderate amount of moisture is constantly required around the discharge part of the negative ion generator, so a general humidifier such as an ultrasonic humidifier A humidity sensor is installed in front of the negative ion generation discharge unit, and the humidity control device controls the ultrasonic humidifier to keep the humidity at around 60% constantly. And

  According to the invention according to claim 4, first, air passes through a discharge type ozone generator having an electrode discharge part, so that it is ozonized, and the ozone mixed gas is mixed with water vapor produced by a humidifying device to mix ozone and water vapor. The gas is detected by a humidity sensor, and the mixture of ozone and water vapor controlled by the humidity controller is sent to the combustion engine and supplied to the combustion chamber. When in contact with highly reactive combustibles (combustion oil, etc.), mixed air that maximizes the characteristics of high-concentration ozone that promotes combustion of the combustibles is introduced into the combustion engine in a very short time. When the combustion is further increased and when the steam comes into contact with the internal combustion engine at a very high temperature, vaporization of the steam particles occurs at once and the pressure rises rapidly. Combustion in characterized in that it is obtained a very significant effect is promoted.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, air is first mixed with water vapor produced by a humidifier, and becomes a gas mixture of water vapor sensed by a humidity sensor and controlled by a humidity controller, and the high voltage of the discharge negative ion generating power supply device When the negative ion is added when it comes into contact with the discharge part at the tip of the high voltage withstand voltage wire connected to the output side and inserted into the intake pipe, it is still moisture-containing air. Moisture is instantaneously separated into hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxide ions (OH +) when in contact with the voltage discharge (DC minus 7,000 V) part, and the hydrogen ions (H +) are combined with electrons. As a result, hydrogen gas (H2) is released, while hydroxide ions (OH +) combine with water molecules (H2O) to pass hydroxyl ions (H3O2). Having a system stem that is sent to the combustion engine as negative ions and supplied to the combustion chamber is a cluster of oxygen mass groups that are agglomerated, so that it becomes a more fragmented combustible gas. Therefore, the characteristics of each of the optimum humidity state, high-concentration negative ions with increased flammability, and slightly increased hydrogen gas inside the intake pipe closest to the combustion engine combustion side were maximized. When the mixed air is introduced into the combustion engine in a very short time and combustion is further increased, and when the steam comes into contact with the internal combustion engine at a very high temperature, vaporization of the water vapor particles occurs at once and the pressure rises rapidly. This is characterized in that combustion is promoted and extremely remarkable effects can be obtained.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, air first passes through a discharge type ozone generator having an electrode discharge part, so that it is ozonized, and the ozone mixed gas is connected to the high voltage output side of the discharge type negative ion generating power supply device. In contact with the discharge part at the tip of the high-voltage pressure-resistant electric wire inserted in the intake pipe, high-concentration negative ions are generated and mixed with high-concentration ozone and gas mixture. It is introduced into a combustion engine and is characterized by further increasing combustion.

  Conventional internal combustion engine-type vehicles, excluding hybrid cars and fuel cell vehicles, have a sufficiently effective combustion improvement effect, so they are extremely useful for reducing fuel consumption against the recent rise in fossil fuels. It is.
