Description

  The present invention relates to a combustion efficiency improving tool for improving the combustion efficiency of an automobile engine, and more particularly to a combustion efficiency improving tool installed in an air cleaner case of an engine room.

Improvement of the fuel consumption of automobiles is a problem that continues for many years in the automobile industry from the viewpoint of economy.
In addition, harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides contained in automobile exhaust gases alone have a serious effect on human health, and ultraviolet rays act in summer. Therefore, it becomes a cause of photochemical smog.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of environmental protection, the above-mentioned problem relating to the reduction of toxic gas by improving fuel efficiency and combustion efficiency is becoming more and more important.
Furthermore, reducing the consumption of petroleum, a limited resource, is also an important solution to the energy problem.

In recent years, hybrid cars are becoming popular as a major measure for improving the fuel efficiency of automobiles.
A hybrid car is a general term for automobiles that travel from two types of power sources, but in recent years, a structure that includes a conventional gasoline engine and an electric motor that assists the gasoline engine is common. .
In the hybrid car of the above form, while the power form is automatically switched depending on the running speed, etc., the regenerative braking system is devised to reduce the battery consumption for the electric motor, etc. Compared to a gasoline engine car with the same displacement, a great improvement in fuel efficiency can be expected.

However, the hybrid car has a problem that the vehicle weight is heavier and the vehicle price is higher than that of a general gasoline-powered vehicle due to components such as a battery to be mounted.
In addition, it has another problem that the maintenance cost is higher than that of a normal gasoline engine vehicle such as battery replacement, which is one of the factors that hinder the spread of hybrid cars.

  In addition, hybrid cars have the effect of reducing gasoline consumption per unit mileage by combining electric energy and gasoline engines, but they do not reduce emissions of toxic substances such as carbon monoxide for the same gasoline consumption. There wasn't.

Further, as a device for improving the fuel efficiency of a conventional gasoline engine vehicle, an intake improvement device in which a fine powder of tourmaline is wrapped in aluminum foil and formed into a thin belt shape has been proposed (Patent Document 1).
As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the air intake improvement device 40 is formed in a strip shape by wrapping a tourmaline fine powder 41 with an aluminum foil 42 and rolling it.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, the intake improvement device 40 is mounted by being attached to the intake pipe 43 of the engine while being wound or folded.
According to Patent Document 1, minus electrons are emitted from the tourmaline fine powder 41 due to heat and vibration of the engine, and the minus electrons are combined with oxygen molecules in the intake air. % To improve by about 10%.

  Although the mechanism of combustion efficiency improvement due to the release of negative ions from tourmaline has not been fully elucidated, the release of negative ions generates active oxygen with strong oxidizing power from oxygen molecules, which promotes combustion. Furthermore, hydroxide ions in which negative ions are contained in moisture in the air act on vacancies having positive charges in tourmaline from which negative ions have been released, and have strong oxidizing power similar to active oxygen. It is surmised that radicals are generated and air having this strong oxidizing power is supplied to the combustion chamber of the engine, thereby facilitating the oxidation of the fuel, that is, the combustion.

However, in the intake improvement device according to Patent Document 1, since the improvement rate of fuel efficiency is about 5% to 10%, whether the effect of the intake improvement device is the effect,
Alternatively, it is difficult to clearly distinguish whether it is due to external factors such as operating conditions, and it is difficult to say that the above-mentioned action of tourmaline is sufficiently exhibited.
This is thought to be because tourmaline does not directly touch the inhaled air.
In addition, the tourmaline fine powder is directly wrapped in aluminum foil, so the aluminum foil is damaged by engine vibration, etc., and the fine powder of tourmaline floats in the engine room and is sucked into the engine, thus improving fuel efficiency. There was a possibility to make it worse.
In addition, since it is wound directly around the intake pipe of the engine, the mounting work is troublesome and dangerous.

In addition, a filter for an air cleaner has been proposed in which tourmaline is kneaded into silicon resin or polyethylene and formed into a sheet shape, and a hole or gap for ensuring air permeability is formed (Patent Document 2).
However, the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 is a device relating to an air cleaner filter, and it is necessary to replace the filter of an existing air cleaner, so that it cannot be used with the existing filter attached.
Furthermore, since it is necessary to manufacture a filter suitable for each vehicle type, the manufacturing cost is high.
In addition, the fuel efficiency improvement effect is limited to a maximum of 20% or less, so it could not compete with hybrid vehicles.
In addition, there is no mention of emissions of toxic substances such as carbon monoxide with respect to gasoline consumption.

As shown in FIG. 2, the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to the present embodiment is disposed in an air cleaner case 21 of an automobile, and as shown in FIG. 1, tourmaline powder is contained at a ratio of 25% by weight to the synthetic resin. It has an abutment surface portion 23 that abuts against the inhaled air and a placement surface portion 15 that can be placed in the air cleaner case, and includes a flexible base portion formed in a sheet shape.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), a plurality of conical protrusions that are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance are formed on the contact surface portion of the base, and between the protrusions, A hole that penetrates the base along the thickness direction of the base and the gas flow direction along arrow A in the figure is formed.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1A is a side view of the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a plan view thereof.
As shown in FIG. 1, the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to the present embodiment is formed of 70% polypropylene, 25% tourmaline powder, 5% carbon, and 1% dye in the overall weight ratio.
As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the protrusion 13 is formed in a conical shape having a bottom diameter of about 2 mm, a top diameter of about 1 m, and a height of about 10 mm. The contact surface portion 12 is disposed over substantially the entire area.
Moreover, the thickness dimension of the base part 11 is about 1 mm, and the hole part 14 is arrange | positioned between the said protrusion parts 13 along the thickness direction of the base part 11, respectively.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to the present embodiment is installed in an air cleaner case 21 in the engine room 20.
The air cleaner case 21 is disposed in the engine room 20 and is a part for filtering the taken-in air in order to send clean air to the engine mixer (carburetor), and has an opening 24 on the upper surface. The box body 22 is formed by a filter section 25 housed in the box body 22 and a lid 26 for closing the opening 24.
As shown in FIG. 2, the lid portion 26 and the filter portion 25 of the air cleaner case 21 are removed, and the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 is placed on the inner bottom surface 23 of the box body 22 with the protruding portion 13 facing upward. .
As shown in FIG. 1, during combustion of the engine, outside air flows in from the air cleaner case 21 and passes through the filter unit 25, and then directly contacts the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to the present embodiment.
At this time, since the plurality of protrusions 13 are provided, the contact area with the inhaled air becomes very large. Therefore, negative ions released from the tourmaline powder contained in the base 11 and oxygen in the air Since the molecules are efficiently combined, air having a strong oxidizing power is supplied into the combustion chamber of the engine.
Further, the sucked air is supplied to an intake pipe (not shown) connected to the engine via a hole portion 14 provided in the thickness direction of the base portion 11, that is, the direction along the air flow direction. Therefore, even in the stage of passing through the hole 14, the negative velocity released from the tourmaline powder contained in the base 11 because the flow rate does not decrease and the base 14 is in contact with the base 11 violently. And oxygen molecules in the air are more easily combined, and air having a stronger oxidizing power is supplied into the combustion chamber of the engine, improving the combustion efficiency.

The release of tourmaline negative ions must satisfy at least one of the following five requirements.
(1) Sunlight hits.
(2) There is vibration.
(3) The environment should be high.
(4) Being in an environment with moisture.
(5) There must be an air flow.
In the present embodiment, since the base 11 is installed in the air cleaner case 21 in the engine room 20, the above requirement (1) is not satisfied, but all other requirements are satisfied because of the nature of the engine room. It is considered that negative ions are released very efficiently.

In addition, since the base 11 is formed of a synthetic resin, it can be easily deformed and used in accordance with the shape of the bottom surface 23 of the box body 22 of the air cleaner case 21 that varies depending on the vehicle type.
Moreover, when installing the said combustion efficiency improvement tool 10, since it is not necessary to fix to the box main body 22 in particular and it only has to mount on the bottom face 23 of the box main body 22, installation operation is very easy. No special expertise is required.

  When the fuel efficiency was calculated from the consumed gasoline amount and the travel distance in a state where the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to the present example was mounted on the air cleaner case 21, the following results were obtained.

Traveling form: High speed travel distance of about 290-300km
About 150-160km on flat ground
Travel within legal speed.
Measuring equipment: Multi fuel consumption meter manufactured by PIVOT (product name: e-nenpi, model number FMC 2005 type)
2. Measurement Results As shown in Table 2 below, a fuel efficiency improvement effect of about 26% was recognized before and after the combustion efficiency improvement tool 10 according to this example was mounted.

  In both measurement case 1 and measurement case 2, since the display of the measurement device is one digit after the decimal point, the integrated fuel consumption value includes an error of about + -0.05 km / l.

As is clear from the measurement case 1 and the measurement case 2 described above, the fuel efficiency improvement effect of about 20 to 26% was observed by the mounting of the fuel efficiency improvement tool 10 according to this example.
In any case, the fuel consumption value is equivalent to or better than the fuel consumption of the 10.15 mode presented by the manufacturer, and this is a very significant improvement effect in consideration of traveling on a general road.

The results of measuring the concentration (unit: ppm) of carbon monoxide (CO) and the concentration of hydrocarbon (HC) (unit: ppmC) in the exhaust gas of the engine are shown below.
“PpmC” is “carbon equivalent concentration”, which is a value obtained by multiplying the normal concentration (ppm) by the number of carbons of the hydrocarbon.

(3) Measurement case 3
1.Measurement conditions Vehicle model to be measured: Mazda Demio Year: 1998 year Existing mileage: about 38,000km
Displacement: 1,500cc
Measurement form: Measurement was performed by installing a measuring device at the outlet of the muffler for 3 minutes in an idling state at a rotation speed of 600 rpm, and the most stable measurement value was adopted.
Furthermore, the measurement was carried out for 3 minutes in the idling state at a rotational speed of 2000 rpm by installing a measuring device at the outlet portion of the muffler, and the most stable measurement value was adopted.
Measuring instrument: Auto exhaust gas tester (product name: UEX-5000V) manufactured by Komyo Chemical Co., Ltd.
2. Measurement results As shown in Table 3 below, when the combustion efficiency improving tool 10 according to this example is mounted, the concentration before the mounting of the combustion efficiency improving tool is 1, and the carbon monoxide concentration is 0. It was found that the hydrocarbon concentration was reduced to 0.48 to 0.52 from 09 to 0.045.
When the combustion efficiency of the fuel is improved in the hydrocarbon fuel, the generated carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon concentrations are decreased, and the generation amounts of carbon dioxide and water are increased.
Therefore, the above results show that carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons generated by incomplete combustion are reduced by improving the combustion efficiency of gasoline as a fuel.

  As shown in Table 3 above, since a large cleaning effect can be obtained without attaching a filter containing a catalyst to the muffler, the cost required for attaching and replacing the filter can be greatly reduced, and the effect of improving the atmospheric environment It is also big and very useful.

  As is clear from the results of measurement case 1 to measurement case 3 described above, by using the combustion efficiency improvement tool according to the present embodiment, an epoch-making improvement in fuel consumption can be achieved without any modification to the existing vehicle. As well as being effective, the generation of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons is reduced, so it is very effective for improving the environment, and the cost is also compared to when engines and mufflers are modified. Can be significantly reduced.

The tourmaline powder to be used may be either a white product called lithia tourmaline or a black product called shoal tourmaline, and may be appropriately changed depending on the carbon content to be mixed. Is possible.
In addition, the thickness, size, and protrusion of the base portion may be appropriately changed as long as the air filter portion and the lid portion can be mounted without hindrance even if they are arranged in the air cleaner case. It is possible to obtain the same operation and effect as in the present embodiment, and when installing, it may be cut into a plurality according to the shape in the air cleaner case.
Further, even if the synthetic resin is other than the polypropylene of the present embodiment, other types of synthetic resins such as polyethylene can be used as long as they can be molded easily.
