Description

  The present invention relates to a combustion improving apparatus for improving combustion efficiency in a combustion apparatus such as an internal combustion engine.

Conventionally, there has been proposed a technique for increasing the combustion efficiency of an internal combustion engine and reducing harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides by dispersing and miniaturizing the cluster ions of various atoms or molecules constituting the combustion fluid. (For example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent No. 3582709

  Since the above-described technique subdivides atomic or molecular cluster ions, combustion efficiency is improved as compared with a case where the clusters are large. However, even if the clusters are subdivided, the activity of atoms or molecules in the air does not change from that of the original air, so there is a limit to improving the combustion efficiency.

  The present invention is an attempt to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a combustion improving apparatus that further improves the combustion efficiency as compared with the prior art.

The first invention is a cylindrical combustion improving device,
The wall forming the cylindrical shape is configured to allow gas to pass through,
A plurality of radiation irradiating means for activating the auxiliary gas by irradiating the auxiliary gas passing from the outside of the wall to the inside;
The combustion improving apparatus is configured so that a main gas for burning fuel passes in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction from the outer peripheral portion side to the inner peripheral portion side of the cylindrical member.

  According to the configuration of the first invention, the molecules in the auxiliary gas are activated by being irradiated with radiation and then intersect with the main gas that passes through the cylindrical space portion. Compared with the combustion efficiency is greatly improved. That is, not only is the gas cluster subdivided, but each molecule is activated, which is fundamentally different from the prior art. In addition, since there are a plurality of radiation irradiation means, molecules and atoms that have not been irradiated by the first-stage radiation irradiation means have a high probability of being irradiated by the second-stage radiation irradiation means. The gas can be treated very effectively.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect of the present invention, the radiation irradiating means is a combustion improving apparatus including an α-ray radiator that emits α-rays.

  According to the structure of 2nd invention, each molecule | numerator can be processed with an alpha ray.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the second aspect, the radiation irradiating means is a net-like member having an α-ray emitter attached to the surface, and the mesh size of the net-like member depends on the flight distance of the α-ray. It is a combustion improvement apparatus of Claim 2 prescribed | regulated.

  According to the configuration of the third invention, the mesh of the mesh member serves as a passage for the auxiliary gas. And since the mesh | network of a mesh member is prescribed | regulated by the flight distance of an alpha ray, the alpha ray irradiated from a mesh member can be reliably irradiated with respect to the molecule | numerator and atom which pass a mesh member.

  A fourth invention is the combustion improving apparatus according to any one of the first to third inventions, wherein an interval between the plurality of radiation irradiation means is defined by a flight distance of the α ray.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that descriptions of configurations that can be appropriately implemented by those skilled in the art are omitted, and only the basic configuration of the present invention is described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the combustion improving apparatus 1 includes a cylindrical member 10 that is a cylindrical wall portion, a first annular plate portion 12, and a second annular plate portion 14. As shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical member 10 is composed of two mesh members, an outer periphery-side mesh member 10 a and an inner periphery-side mesh member 10 b, between which an air cleaner element ( An air filter 10c is arranged. A cylindrical space including the center of the tubular member 10 is a main gas passage which is a main gas (for example, air) for burning fuel. In the portion constituting the wall of the tubular member 10, the auxiliary gas passes from the outside to the inside of the wall of the tubular member 10. The outer periphery side mesh member 10a and the inner periphery side mesh member 10b are examples of radiation irradiation means.

  The tubular member 10 is fixed between the first annular plate portion 12 and the second annular plate portion 14. The first annular plate portion 12 and the second annular plate portion 14 are made of, for example, a plastic resin such as a vinyl chloride resin, or a metal such as an aluminum alloy.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b are configured by a net having a substantially rhombic space. The net is provided with a material to be irradiated with radiation. The size of the mesh constituting the mesh grid is defined to be smaller than the range of the α ray (about 25 mm). Specifically, the distance is desirably about 4 to 25 mm. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, each stitch has a stitch width w1 of 10 mm (millimeters) and a height h1 of 7 mm. . Thereby, alpha rays are reliably irradiated to nitrogen, oxygen, and water that are auxiliary gas whose outer periphery passes through the ring member 10a and the like, for example, molecules that constitute air. The width w2 of the line constituting the stitch is 1 mm.

  Further, the distance between the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b is also defined based on the range of α rays, and is preferably about 4 to 25 mm, and in this embodiment is 7 mm.

  In the present embodiment, the radiator constituting the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b has thorium oxide as a main material. The radiator activates gaseous molecules such as combustion air by a known action. Some molecules are ionized. Each molecule of gas is activated by α rays irradiated by the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b. In this embodiment, the radiator emits α rays having a dissociation energy of about 4 to 10 MeV / piece. Further, in the process of passing through a plurality of stages of radiation irradiation means, ie, the outer peripheral side net member 10a and the inner peripheral side net member 10b, a large proportion of oxygen molecules and water molecules is likely to be activated. ing.

  For example, the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b have a metal such as an aluminum alloy as a core, and a sticking agent composed of a polymer containing carbon as a main component is applied thereon, and the sticking agent. A radiator (thorium oxide) that emits α-rays is fixed and heated and fired. An example of the structure of the outer peripheral mesh member 10a and the inner peripheral mesh member 10b is described in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 4938508.

  For example, in the case of an automobile engine, the main gas passes through the hollow portion of the tubular member 10 as indicated by an arrow X1 in FIG. And the air as auxiliary gas passes in the direction which goes to the inner peripheral side from the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical member 10, as shown by arrow Y1 of FIG. That is, the main gas passes through the tubular member 10 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the arrow Y1 direction (a direction substantially orthogonal to the arrow Y1). Then, the auxiliary gas activated and / or ionized by the cylindrical member 10 crosses the main gas in the hollow portion of the cylindrical member 10 and is supplied to the engine.

  Hereinafter, an outline of the operation of the combustion improving apparatus 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the combustion improving apparatus 1 is disposed between the pipe 102 and the pipe 104. The pipe 104 is connected to an automobile engine. The main gas for burning the fuel passes through the pipe 102 and is supplied to the combustion improving apparatus 1 from the direction of the arrow X1.

On the other hand, air as auxiliary gas for assisting combustion flows from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side of the combustion auxiliary device 1 as shown by the arrow Y1, is processed, and then supplied into the combustion improving device 1 It intersects with the main gas. The main components of air are nitrogen (N ₂ ), oxygen (O ₂ ) and water (H ₂ O). In the process in which air passes through the outer peripheral member 10a and the inner peripheral member 10b, the above components are activated by irradiation with α rays, that is, helium atoms, and a part thereof is ionized. For example, oxygen (O ₂ ) is ionized into oxygen ions, and water (H ₂ O) is ionized into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. By passing through the multi-stages of the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b, for example, molecules that have not been irradiated with radiation in the first stage are also irradiated with radiation in any stage after the second stage There is a high possibility of receiving. Then, the activated and / or ionized air and the main gas are mixed and flow in the direction indicated by the arrow X2. Here, since the space of the center part of the cylindrical member 10 is a main gas passage, it does not hinder the flow of the main gas.

  As described above, α rays are irradiated to each component of the air at each stage of the cylindrical member 10. Alpha rays have the strongest ionization effect compared to other radiations, but have the property of being weak in their ability to penetrate substances. Therefore, the combustion improving apparatus 1 has a plurality of radiation irradiation means constituting the cylindrical member 10. Thereby, for example, when passing through the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a of the first stage, the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b of the second stage is also applied to the molecules that are shadowed by other molecules and are not directly irradiated with α rays. When passing, there is a high possibility that the arrangement with other molecules is different, so that there is a high possibility that α rays are directly irradiated. In the present embodiment, a plurality of radiation irradiating means are arranged so as to increase the probability that a molecule is directly irradiated with α rays, based on the above-described properties of α rays. In addition, the inner shape of the stitches of the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b is smaller than the flight distance of the α ray, and the distance between the outer peripheral side net-like member 10a and the inner peripheral side net-like member 10b is also Since it is smaller than the flight distance of α rays, the α rays are irradiated to the air without interruption even between the respective radiation irradiation means.

  As described above, in the configuration of the present embodiment, a plurality of radiation irradiation means are arranged in order to effectively perform activation and ionization by irradiation with α rays. Moreover, in order to effectively irradiate the combustion air with radiation, not only the shape of each radiation irradiating means itself is devised, but also the above-described contrivance is made for the distance of each radiation irradiating means. Moreover, since the combustion improvement apparatus 1 only allows auxiliary gas to pass from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side, the structure of the apparatus is simple. For this reason, it can mount in moving bodies, such as a motor vehicle.

  In addition, the combustion improvement apparatus 1 of this invention can add a various change in the range which is not restricted to the said embodiment and does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
