Description

The present invention relates to a fuel efficiency improving device for improving fuel efficiency in an automobile using an internal combustion engine.

  Improving the combustion efficiency of automobile engines to improve fuel efficiency is a contemporary challenge that leads to the saving of limited fossil fuel resources and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.

  In order to increase the combustion efficiency of the engine, it is necessary to review the structure of the engine itself, but due to cost problems, it is not possible to reach the engine of all new cars, and also the modification of the engine of the existing car is actually It is difficult.

  For this reason, many attempts have been made to improve fuel efficiency without making any changes to the engine. This device communicates the inside and outside of the case through the oil passage hole, improves the fuel consumption immersed in the fuel by being accommodated in the fuel tank of the internal combustion engine by the string body and being accommodated in the case. The prior art is a fuel consumption improvement device comprising a catalyst for

  The prior art is known in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example. Further, related prior art is known in Patent Documents 3 and 4.

  The prior art is a very useful device in that fuel efficiency can be improved by simply supporting the case from the fuel filler opening into the fuel tank without changing the existing structure of the automobile. Also, in situations where it is desired to replace or stop using the catalyst, it is easy to use because it can be detached from the fuel tank simply by pulling up the case being supported by the string.

  By the way, in order to obtain a predetermined fuel efficiency improvement effect, an appropriate amount of catalyst is required, and the size of the case also increases accordingly. On the other hand, due to demands for space efficiency and safety, the actual fuel tank of an automobile may have a curved or complicated path for parts such as the filler, tube and nipple. Depending on the size and shape of the case, In some cases, the fishing cannot be supported in the tank, or even if the fishing can be supported, it is difficult to pull up due to being caught on the inner wall of the tank member when the tank is detached, or the inner wall may be damaged.

  The fuel efficiency improving device described in Patent Document 3 is adapted to the curved surface of the inner wall of the tank member by making the case made of a flexible mesh. However, if the mesh is not made so strong, the catalyst will be meshed. There is a concern that it will exit the tank and fall into the tank. Moreover, although the fuel efficiency improvement apparatus described in Patent Document 3 is to be inserted into the fuel tank without supporting the case, there is a problem that once the fuel is improved, the fuel tank cannot be detached unless the fuel tank is disassembled.

  The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a fuel consumption improvement device that enables fishing support and lifting without any problem in any shape of fuel tank. And

  That is, the fuel efficiency improving device of the present invention communicates between the inside and outside of the case through an oil passage hole, a case that is supported by a string body in a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine, and a case that is contained in the case so as to be immersed in fuel. In a fuel efficiency improvement device comprising a catalyst for improving fuel efficiency, a plurality of cases are supported for one string body, and the catalyst is distributed and accommodated in these cases, and each case has an overall length of the string body. It is characterized by being freely movable within a certain limit with respect to the direction.

  Therefore, according to the fuel efficiency improvement device of the present invention, even when the path of the fuel tank filler port, tube, nipple, or other member is curved or has a complicated shape, the size of each case is reduced. By downsizing, it is possible to easily perform fishing support and lifting, and it is possible to realize a fuel efficiency improving device that can be adapted to any automobile.

  In addition, since the catalyst is distributed and accommodated in a plurality of cases, the amount of catalyst necessary to improve fuel efficiency can be secured even if the case is miniaturized. Since it is possible to obtain an optimum fuel efficiency improving device corresponding to the internal capacity of the fuel tank, the manufacturing efficiency is also improved.

  On the other hand, each case is freely movable within a certain limit with respect to the full length direction of the string body, so that the path of the fuel tank filler, tube, nipple and other members is curved or has a complicated shape. However, the fishing supports and the pulling up can be smoothly performed by following each other well by the mutual movement.

The partially cutaway side view of the fuel consumption improvement apparatus of this invention. The perspective view of the principal part same as the above.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the fuel efficiency improving apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the internal structure of the fuel efficiency improvement device. The fuel efficiency improving device of the present invention comprises a string body 1, a case 10 that supports the string body 1, and a catalyst S accommodated in the case.

  The case 10 has a hollow cylindrical shape with dome-shaped curved surfaces at the front and rear, and a plurality of oil passage holes 11 for communicating the inside and outside of the container are formed on the outer periphery. The material of the case 10 is assumed to be stainless steel in this embodiment, but it goes without saying that other materials may be used. The case is shaped as described above because the path of the fuel tank filler, tube, nipple and other members is curved by eliminating the corners, and even when it has a complicated shape, it can pass without resistance. This is because the inner wall is not damaged by contact. The oil passage hole 11 needs to have a smaller diameter so that the catalyst S described later does not pass through.

  Here, as the catalyst S, a ceramic catalyst known in Patent Document 1 is employed. That is, “the transition metal oxide composite, active metal, alkaline earth metal, and trace amount of rare earth metal as the main components are mixed and sintered with the maximum porosity of the microporous catalyst surface area. It is 4mmΦ granular, and about 70 pieces per 1 liter of gasoline is a proper amount. " Of course, the catalyst S is not limited to this as long as the combustion reaction rate of the fuel is accelerated. The amount of the catalyst S required to improve fuel efficiency is distributed and accommodated in a plurality of cases 10. In this embodiment, the catalyst S is distributed and accommodated in three cases 10, 10, and 10.

  Although the string 1 assumes the stainless steel wire here, of course, it is not restricted to this. The string body 1 supports the cases 10, 10, and 10, but each case 10 is not directly fixed to the string body 1, and is freely movable within a certain limit in the full length direction of the string body. As a means for this purpose, in this embodiment, a string member is inserted into the through holes 12 and 12 formed in the front and rear of the case 10, and a pair of annular stoppers 2 and 2 are provided in the front and rear direction of the string member sandwiching each case. By adhering to each other, each case freely moves in the full length direction of the string body between the annular stoppers.

  The fuel efficiency improving apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration is used by being supported in the fuel tank by the string body, and the catalyst in the case is immersed in the fuel to produce a catalytic action.
