〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a fuel activation device for a gasoline vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle body, and an engine room 1a is provided at a front portion thereof. In the engine room 1a, an engine 2 as a drive source is provided.
The engine 2 is supplied with gasoline via a fuel supply pipe 4 from a fuel tank 3 disposed at the rear of the vehicle body. A fuel supply pump 5 is mounted on the upstream side of the fuel supply pipe 4, that is, on the fuel tank side. A fuel filter 7 is provided on the downstream side of the fuel supply pipe 4, that is, on the engine side.
Is attached. Also, this fuel filter 7
A fuel distributor 8 for distributing fuel for each cylinder is provided between the engine and the engine 2, and a downstream side of the fuel distributor 8 is connected to a fuel injection valve 9 provided for each cylinder. . The fuel distributor 8 has a structure capable of heating gasoline therein by the heat of the lubricating oil of the engine.

Here, a rotating magnetic field generating mechanism 6 for generating a rotating magnetic field is arranged in the engine room 1a,
A part of the fuel supply pipe 4, that is, a part immediately upstream of the fuel filter 7 is included in the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism 6. Further, a three-phase AC generator 11 is provided near the engine 2, and a rotating shaft (not shown) of the three-phase AC generator 11 is connected to an output shaft (not shown) of the engine by a belt or the like. They are connected by a power transmission member.

FIG. 2 is a view showing details of the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a magnetic shield case of the magnetic generating mechanism 6, which comprises a metallic lid member 21a and a case body 21b, and these are screws 21c. Is fixed. The spiral part 4a of the fuel pipe 4 is housed inside the case 21. Here, the helical portion 4a is made of a nonmetallic material such as a rubber hose so that external magnetism sufficiently acts on gasoline flowing inside the helical portion 4a. In the gap between the fuel supply pipes of the helical portion 4a, the first to third phase coils 22a to 22c are arranged at an angle of 120 ° in a horizontal plane, and a rotating magnetic field generated by star-connecting these coils is formed. A coil 22 is provided, and an input terminal of each coil is connected to a three-phase AC output of the three-phase AC generator.

 Next, the operation will be described.

First, when an ignition key (not shown) is turned on, the fuel pump 5 is driven and gasoline flows through the fuel pipe 4 from the fuel tank 3 to the engine 2. Then, when the engine starts, fuel is automatically supplied to the injector valve 9 in accordance with the fuel consumption of the engine. At this time, in the three-phase AC generator 11, three
Phase alternating current is generated, and the three-phase alternating current is supplied to the rotating magnetic field generating coil 22, and a rotating magnetic field is generated in the magnetic shield case 21.

That is, in the horizontal plane, in the three coils 22a to 22c arranged at an angle of 120 ° each, the intensity of the magnetic field lines changes with a phase shift of 120 °, respectively, as if the direction of the magnetic field lines is rotating in this portion. Such a rotating magnetic field is generated. Accordingly, when the gasoline passes through the spiral portion 4a, the rotating magnetic field gives energy of the rotating magnetic field. As a result, the gasoline is activated, that is, the gasoline is stored in magnetic energy, and the temperature rises so that the gasoline easily reacts with oxygen. Then, such activated gasoline is injected into the cylinder of the engine and is ignited by a spark plug. At this time, since gasoline is activated, that is, gasoline molecules are easily reacted with oxygen, gasoline is burned efficiently.

As described above, in this embodiment, a part of the gasoline supply pipe 4 is formed in a spiral shape, and the spiral portion 4a is arranged in the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism 6, so that gasoline is supplied from the fuel tank 3 to the engine. On the way to 2,
It is activated by a rotating magnetic field, that is, it stores magnetic energy and increases its temperature to easily react with oxygen. As a result, combustion in the engine is performed efficiently, and the combustion efficiency can be significantly improved from about 30% of the conventional level. As a result, in order to increase the engine output, improve fuel efficiency and take measures against exhaust gas. Problem can be eliminated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the fuel distributor 8 is configured to be able to heat the gasoline therein by using the heat of the engine lubricating oil, so that the temperature of the gasoline also increases. In particular, when the engine is operated in a state where the outside air is low, such as in winter, electric heating accompanied by electric vibration is performed, so that the combustion efficiency is significantly improved. However, the temperature of gasoline needs to be suppressed to about 200 to 250 ° C in consideration of fire and the like.

In the above embodiment, the lubricating oil of the engine is used for heating the fuel. However, the lubricating oil of the engine may be used for this. Further, the mechanism for heating the fuel using the lubricating oil or the heat of the engine is not limited to the configuration of the fuel distributor 8 described above. For example, a device in which a lubricating oil pipe is wound around a fuel pipe may be used to heat the engine. May be arranged to facilitate collection.

 Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 3 shows a main part of an engine fuel activation device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are a sectional view and a side view, respectively.

Here, in the configuration of the first embodiment, the portion before and after the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism 6 of the fuel supply pipe is constituted by an active ceramic pipe 4b having an ion activating ability, and a heating power supply around the pipe is provided. A coil 31 is formed by winding a hot wire, a stainless steel wire, or the like, and a single-phase AC power is applied to the coil 31. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

In such a configuration, the fuel is activated by the activation action of the ceramic constituting the pipe 4b, and the coil 4
The fuel is also activated by the 31 generated magnetic field. Further, the fuel is heated by the heat generated by energizing the coil 31, and the fuel is also activated. Such an activating action becomes remarkable in conjunction with the activation of the fuel in the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism 6, and the combustion efficiency of the fuel in the engine is further improved.

Although a single-phase AC power is applied to the coil 31 here, a three-phase AC or a DC may be applied intermittently. Here, in the case of three-phase alternating current, a rotating magnetic field is also generated, and further activation of fuel can be achieved.

It is needless to say that the configuration in which the coil is wound around the ceramic pipe used here may be used independently of the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism of the first embodiment.

Further, in the above embodiment, a rotating magnetic field generating mechanism or a mechanism in which a heating wire or the like is wound around a ceramic pipe is used, but a part of the fuel supply pipe is made of a magnetic steel material or a ceramic material having ionic activity. Only the mechanism may be used.

Also in this case, the fuel is activated by the magnetic steel material or the ceramic material, and the fuel efficiency can be improved. Further, the amount of electricity used in the vehicle body can be reduced as compared with the above embodiment,
This is effective for small vehicles that generate a small amount of electricity.

FIG. 4 shows a main part of an apparatus for activating an engine fuel according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the spiral portion of the fuel supply pipe 4 in the first embodiment, that is, the portion inside the magnetic shield case is constituted by a pipe 4c made of a magnetic steel material. And three heating wires 40a, 40b, 40c as shown in FIG.
Are sequentially wound, and a three-phase power source of a three-phase AC generator is applied to the coil, thereby constituting an auxiliary rotating magnetic field generating mechanism. An active ceramic pipe 41 is attached to both ends of the pipe 4c. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

In the third embodiment having such a configuration, the fuel is activated not only by the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism 6 but also by the rotating magnetic field generated by the three-phase coils 40a to 40c, so that the fuel is further activated. It will be.

In addition, magnetostrictive vibration occurs in the magnetic steel pipe 4c in accordance with the waveform of the current flowing through the coil, and the helical pipe 4c induces a vibration like a spring, thereby causing the magnetostrictive vibration. The three vibrational energies of the vibration of the spring and the electromagnetic vibration by the coil activate the fuel.

For this reason, the activation of the fuel greatly proceeds to the engine.

Further, ultrasonic vibration is also generated by resonance of high-frequency vibration, and optimal activation of fuel is possible by wave power and heating suitable for fuel.

Incidentally, it goes without saying that the auxiliary rotating magnetic field generating mechanism and the mechanism for fuel activation by the active ceramic pipe used in this embodiment may be used independently of the rotating magnetic field generating mechanism of the first embodiment. No.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, a gasoline engine has been described, but this may be a diesel engine using light oil as a fuel or an engine using LP gas as a fuel.

As described above, according to the engine fuel activation device of the present invention, a magnetic field generating mechanism is configured in a part of the fuel supply system, and a fuel supply pipe is configured so that a part thereof passes through the mechanism. Since gasoline is activated in the magnetic field generation region, the combustion efficiency can be greatly improved, the engine output can be increased, and the improvement of fuel efficiency and purification of exhaust gas can be drastically advanced.
