Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve fuel consumption by leading fuel oil to the space between an outer case and a permanent magnet, and a spacer through the groove in a cylindrical spacer and the hole in a spacer to increase the level of fuel oil gradually, and applying magnetic processing for a prescribed time. CONSTITUTION:The fuel oil (gasoline, light oil, heavy oil, etc.) flowing from a fuel tank through an elbow 13 and a pipe 12 passes through the groove 8a in a cylindrical spacer 8 and a hole 10a in a spacer 10 and goes into a space 11 to increase its level gradually to be subjected to magnetic process by a magnet 9. Since it takes a considerable time to make fuel oil flow out of the elbow 14, fuel oil is subjected to a sufficient magnetic processing. Since fuel flows in and out from the above, it is always in a full condition, and there is no possibility of air invasion and rusting due to water. It is thus possible to improve fuel consumption rate and decrease black exhaust smoke from a diesel engine.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a fuel magnetic field processing device for magnetically processing fuel for internal combustion engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines to improve fuel consumption rate and exhaust gas. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

Applying magnetic field treatment to fuel oil promotes combustion and improves fuel efficiency. Combustion is rapid oxidation of combustible components accompanied by light and heat, but the physical and chemical mechanisms of combustion have not been fully elucidated.

However, for example, when hydrogen (Ht) is burned (oxidized), if the spectrum is analyzed using spectroscopic analysis, free radicals such as OH groups and free atoms such as H, which normally do not exist in a stable state, can be detected. It is known that there is (combustion engineering,

.

From such spectral analysis, combustible components (H.

CSC, H, etc.) burns (
oxidation reaction).

H2 is liberated to 2H, becoming H+0□=OH+O1, and the oxygen (0) produced at this time reacts with H2 to become Ht +0=O
H+H, and then OH+2H=H, O+H, and eventually water and H atoms are formed, and this H atom combines with oxygen (0) to repeat the reaction and the combustion spreads like a chain reaction.

Next, in the case of carbon (C), carbon dioxide gas (
Co, ) and -carbon oxide (CO) are formed.

- Carbon oxide (Co) quickly burns when there is water (H2o) or a hydrocarbon with a small carbon number, such as ethane (CCzHa), etc. around it, and a dissociation reaction of Hz O = H 10 H occurs, and this OH When the group reacts with carbon monoxide (Co), the reaction GO+0I (=GO, +H) occurs, and the chain reaction progresses as shown in H+1/20x = OH.

Additionally, polymeric hydrocarbons undergo the following changes during the combustion process.

Therefore, if gasoline, light oil, heavy oil, etc. are magnetically treated, the physical and chemical mechanisms of combustion of various hydrocarbons in the fuel as described above will proceed more smoothly, and the rate of incomplete combustion will be reduced. It is thought that the fuel efficiency has been improved by 4.

As a conventional magnetic field processing device, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-56
As disclosed in JP-A No. 954 to JP-A-64-56958, a magnetic processing means for magnetically processing fuel oil such as gasoline, light oil, heavy oil, etc. is arranged in a fuel supply path from a fuel oil tank to an internal combustion engine. In the fuel efficiency improvement device, a cylindrical case having a fuel inlet formed on one end face and a fuel outlet formed on the other end face, a permanent magnet and a yoke housed in the cylindrical case form a magnetic processing means, and a magnetic processing means is formed in the yoke. By creating a circuit path for fuel oil to circulate around a permanent magnet,
Furthermore, a bypass path is provided in the yoke to allow a portion of the fuel oil to pass only through a major part of the circumferential path, the permanent magnet is waterproofed, and the cylindrical case is formed of a double cylinder made of a magnetic material. A fuel efficiency improvement device is known which is characterized by the following.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Even with the conventional fuel efficiency improvement device using magnetic field processing as described above, a considerable improvement in fuel consumption rate can be seen. However, in conventional magnetic field processing devices, fuel flows in from above and exits from below, so the residence time of fuel within the device is short and magnetic processing is not performed sufficiently, so fuel efficiency may not be significantly improved. In addition, conventional devices cannot be said to be sufficient in improving black smoke and pungent odors, especially in exhaust gas. Furthermore, in conventional magnetic processing devices, lines of magnetic force leak outside from the magnets housed inside, which may adversely affect the surroundings.

This invention has been made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a fuel magnetic field treatment device that further improves fuel efficiency and significantly reduces the smell and black smoke in exhaust gas. It is in.

[Means to solve the problem]

That is, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a fuel magnetic field processing device that includes an inflow elbow and a short outflow elbow connecting an outer case and a pipe whose fuel oil outlet is located near the lower part of the outer case. An upper cover to which an elbow is attached and connected to the upper part of the outer case, a lower cover to be connected to the lower part of the outer case, a spacer arranged between the upper cover and the center of the lower cover, and a permanent permanent It is characterized by consisting of a magnet and a spacer.

[For production]

Fuel oil (gasoline, light oil, heavy oil, etc.) flowing from the fuel tank through the elbow pipe passes through the groove of the cylindrical spacer and the hole in the spacer, and enters the space between the outer case and the permanent magnet and spacer. As the water level gradually rises, it is magnetically processed by permanent magnets. In this case, since it takes a considerable amount of time for the water level to rise and flow out from the elbow, the fuel oil is sufficiently treated by the magnetic field.

Normally, of the total energy generated by combustion of fuel in an internal combustion engine, a large proportion is lost due to heat transfer, dissociation of molecules and atoms in hydrocarbons, incomplete combustion, mechanical losses in various parts of the mechanism, etc., and it cannot be used effectively. The proportion of energy is estimated to be about 25 to 30% of the total energy. Shigashi,
As described above, if fuel oil is treated with a magnetic field, the physical and chemical mechanisms of combustion of various hydrocarbons in the fuel will proceed more smoothly, so the energy required for the dissociation of molecules and atoms will be reduced, and less energy will be required. The rate of complete combustion also decreases, improving fuel efficiency.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 7 are diagrams showing an embodiment of a fuel magnetic field processing apparatus according to the present invention. Figure 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the assembled device. In this figure, 1 is a cylindrical iron outer case (rope material, pure iron, cast iron, etc.), and 2 is a cylindrical iron inner case. The inner diameter of the outer case 1 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the inner case 2 so that they fit together with almost no gap. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer peripheral surface of the inner case 2 is evenly machined to form a recess 2a.
A layered plate 3 made by laminating a far-infrared plate material and a thin plate for X-ray protection is wound around the layered plate 3 and then fitted into the outer case 1. However, a far-infrared plate material or a thin plate for X-ray protection may be wound alone.

The layered plate 3 serves to prevent variations in fuel efficiency in humid climates. Furthermore, female screws 2b and 2c are threaded into the upper and lower ends of the inner case 2 so that the upper and lower lids, which will be described later, are screwed together.

Incidentally, when the layered plate 3 is not used, the outer case 1 and the inner case 2 may be integrated as shown in FIG. 4. In that case, female screws 11b and 11c are respectively cut into the upper and lower parts of the extranuclear case 1''.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an upper lid, and a male screw 4a is threaded on the outside so as to be screwed into the female screw 2b of the inner case 2 via a sealing O-ring 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a lower cover, and a male thread 6a is threaded on the outside thereof, and is screwed into the female thread 2c of the inner case 2 via a sealing O-ring 7.

Next, 8 is a cylindrical spacer made of gunmetal (but not limited to such materials, but gunmetal is preferable), and both ends are connected to the upper lid 4.
The central projection 4b of the lower lid 6 is fitted into the central projection 6b of the lower lid 6.

In addition, the lower part of the cylindrical spacer 8 is provided with a
As shown in the figure, a plurality of grooves 8a are vertically bored.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a permanent magnet fitted into the outer periphery of the cylindrical spacer 8, the inner diameter of which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical spacer 8, and each magnet 9 has its N poles facing each other, and its S poles facing each other. The magnets are fitted in such a way that a repulsive force acts on each magnet. Reference numeral 10 denotes a spacer made of gunmetal fitted between each magnet 9.

Among the gunmetal spacers 10, the one placed near the bottom has a plurality of holes 10a, as shown in FIG. 6 or 7. That is, the hole 10a allows the fuel oil to flow through the vertical groove 8a formed in the cylindrical spacer 8 into the space 11 (which serves as a passage for fuel oil) between the inner case 2 and the magnet 9 and spacer 10, as will be described later. This is a hole for water to flow out. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the uppermost spacer 10 may be provided with a notch 10b to improve the flow of fuel. Alternatively, a coil spring or the like may be placed here.

12 is a vibrator made of copper, for example, and the upper part is connected to the upper lid 4.
It is joined to the elbow 13 which is screwed together at the center. The tip of the vibrator 12 is arranged to come almost to the vicinity of the lower end of the cylindrical spacer 8. This vibrator 12 is connected to a pipe from the direction of the fuel oil tank. Also, 14 is the above M4
It is an elbow that is screwed together with a hole for fuel outflow, and is connected to a pipe toward the internal combustion engine such as a carburetor or a fuel injection device (not shown) of the internal combustion engine.

As is clear from the above description, fuel oil flows out from the tip of the vibrator 12, passes through the hole tOa formed in the spacer 10, and exits from the elbow 14 as the water level rises from the space 11.

FIG. 8 is an external perspective view and a diagram showing the connection relationship of the fuel magnetic field processing device according to the present invention.

Next, the operation of the fuel magnetic field processing device according to the present invention will be explained.

Fuel oil (gasoline, light oil, heavy oil, etc.) flowing from the fuel tank through the elbow 13 and pipe 12 passes through the groove 3a of the cylindrical spacer 8 and the hole 10a of the spacer 10, and enters the space 1.
1 and as the water level gradually rises, it is magnetically processed by the magnet 9.9. In this case, since it takes a considerable amount of time for the water level to rise and flow out from the elbow 14, the fuel oil is sufficiently treated by the magnetic field. In addition, since fuel flows in from above and flows out from above, even if the fuel tank is empty, it is always full and no air gets in, and even if the tank is later filled up, there is no problem with fuel flow. Therefore, there is no risk of rust due to moisture, but it is of course possible to apply rust prevention to the magnet.

Normally, of the total energy generated by combustion of fuel in an internal combustion engine, a large proportion is lost due to heat transfer, dissociation of molecules and atoms in hydrocarbons, incomplete combustion, mechanical losses in various parts of the mechanism, etc., and it cannot be used effectively. The proportion of energy is estimated to be about 25 to 30% of the total energy. but,
If fuel oil is magnetically treated as described above, the physical and chemical mechanisms of combustion of various hydrocarbons in the fuel will proceed more smoothly, the energy required for the dissociation of molecules and atoms will be reduced, and the combustion will be incomplete. The rate of combustion also decreases, improving fuel efficiency.
