The LPG liquid phase fuel enters the preheating chamber 12 from the inlet 10 through the filter 11 and is heated by the engine cooling water circulating in the hot water channel 13. Then, it enters the primary chamber 16 through the gap between the primary valve 14 and the valve seat 15, and is reduced to a predetermined pressure (primary pressure). When the primary pressure becomes higher than the set value, the diaphragm 17 moves in the direction of compressing the spring 18, and the lever 19 moves the primary valve 14 to the valve seat 1.
5 to prevent the inflow of fuel. When the fuel in the primary chamber 16 is consumed and the primary pressure decreases, the force of the spring 18 moves the diaphragm 17 to its original position, and the primary valve 14 closes.

The fuel vaporized in the primary chamber 16 enters the secondary chamber 22 through the gap between the secondary valve 20 and the valve seat 21, and is further reduced in pressure to the secondary pressure (approximately atmospheric pressure). Negative pressure from the mixer bench lily is introduced into the secondary chamber 22, and the diaphragm 23 is displaced by the difference between the atmosphere and the negative pressure, causing the lever 24 to rotate against the spring 25. Open the valve. thus,
The amount of fuel supplied to the engine is controlled by changing the negative pressure in the mixer bench lily depending on the engine operating state.

However, in such a conventional LPG vaporizer, the primary valve 14 and the secondary valve 20 are provided at the upper position, and the fuel flowing from the primary valve 14 into the upper space of the primary chamber 16 is directly directed by the arrow shown in the figure. Since the structure was such that gas flows from the secondary valve 20 to the upper space of the secondary chamber 22, the movement of gas is stagnant below the primary valve 14 in the primary chamber 16, and the movement of gas is stagnant between the primary valve 14 and the valve seat 15. When the impurities (tar) in the LPG enters the primary chamber 16 through the gap between the LPG and the gas, the impurities (tar) in the LPG cannot be vaporized and are spouted out as a mist as they head towards the lower part of the primary chamber 16, as the gas is stagnant. The velocity of the tar decreases and it adheres to the wall of the primary chamber 16, and the tar that adheres to the wall accumulates at the bottom. If tar accumulates in the lower part of the primary chamber 16 in this way, there is no way out, and the effective area of the diaphragm 17 gradually decreases, causing the primary pressure to rise, resulting in a superrich mixture, which reduces the stability of the engine. There were problems in that defects and poor fuel efficiency occurred.

<Configuration of the Invention> For this reason, the present invention has a configuration in which a fuel passage from the primary chamber to the secondary chamber is formed from the lower part of the primary chamber, and communicates with the inlet of the secondary valve by penetrating the wall. The tar is purged with the fuel that is sucked into the engine.

The inlet portion of the valve seat 21 of the secondary valve 20 is not directly communicated with the primary chamber 16, but the primary chamber body 26 is interposed, and the primary chamber body 26 is provided with a passage 27 extending laterally and communicating with the primary chamber 16 at its lower part. , a passage 28 extending upwardly from this passage 27 through the side of the primary chamber 16 , and a passage 28 extending upwardly from this passage 27 through the side of the primary chamber 16 .
A passage 29 extending diagonally upward and a passage 30 opening from the passage 29 toward the end face of the primary chamber body 26 and communicating with the inlet portion of the valve seat 21 of the secondary valve 20 are formed. The primary chamber body 26 is made of aluminum alloy or the like with good thermal conductivity.

The liquid phase fuel coming from the LPG cylinder enters the preheating chamber 12 from the inlet section 10 via the filter 11, and enters the primary chamber 16 through the gap between the primary valve 14 and the valve seat 15. At this time, LPG is rapidly reduced in pressure and vaporized, but the impurities in LPG cannot be vaporized and are ejected as a mist as a liquid. However, the passages 27, 28, 29 are arranged so as to guide the gas flow from the primary chamber 16 to the secondary chamber 22 from the bottom of the primary chamber 16 to the secondary chamber 22.
30, the gas within the primary chamber 16 can be directed toward the secondary chamber 22 as a whole. Therefore, most of the mist tar flows into the secondary chamber 22 following this flow. Although some of the gas adheres to the wall, this part is gradually guided to the secondary chamber 22 by the movement of the entire gas, so the primary chamber 16
There is no accumulation of hetar.

Most of the tar that has flowed into the secondary chamber 22 from the primary chamber 16 is supplied to the engine and burned, but some of it adheres to the walls of the secondary chamber 22 and accumulates at the bottom. When tar accumulates in the secondary chamber 22, the effective area of the diaphragm 23 decreases, and the force that opens the secondary valve 20 against the negative pressure in the mixer/ventilate section weakens, resulting in a lean mixture and poor drivability. However, although it is not shown in the figure, a tar drain tank is conventionally provided in the secondary chamber 22, and tar drains are normally removed periodically, so this problem can be avoided. It can be prevented.

Note that tar is an impurity in LPG, and the degree of contamination varies. Therefore, it goes without saying that the amount of tar accumulated also greatly depends on the LPG fuel. Therefore, even if LPG containing a large amount of impurities, that is, tar, is used, the present invention can prevent problems such as deterioration of fuel efficiency caused by it, and is highly practical.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, the passage from the primary chamber to the secondary chamber is formed from the lower part of the primary chamber and communicates with the inlet of the secondary valve at the upper part of the secondary chamber. As a result, the tar content can be purged with the fuel sucked into the engine, preventing tar from accumulating in the primary chamber, reducing the diaphragm area due to tar accumulating in the primary chamber, increasing the primary pressure, and supplying it to the engine. This can prevent problems such as poor drivability and poor fuel efficiency from occurring due to the mixture being too rich. Further, there is an advantage that the passage of the fuel until it reaches the secondary valve can be lengthened, and the vaporization of the liquid phase fuel can be sufficiently promoted.
