W. STURM CARBURETOR Jan. 5, 1932;
Filed March 29, 1928 w eabuum Patented Jan. 5, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WIl'JHELM STURM, OF STUTTGABT, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR TO ROBERT mSCE AKTIEN- GESELLSGEAFT, OF STUTTGART, GERMANY CABBURETOR Application filed liarch 29, 1928, Serial No. 265,778, and in Germany March 29, 1927.
The present invention relates to carburetorsand more particularly to that type of carburetor in which the float chamber is connected with the main Venturi tube and the fuel is sucked out of the float chamber through an auxiliary Venturi tube arranged in the main Venturi tube.
tomatic suction of the fuel from the tank into the float chamber is no longer obtained! 7 In the carburetor according to the present invention the vacuum in the Venturi tube ismaintained at both low and high speeds so that improvement in the atomization is effected and at the same time the vacuum in the float chamber is maintained so high as to provide sufficient feed of the fuel into the carburetor even under unfavorable conditions for example in cases where the auto-' matic vacuum tank lies at a substantial height above the main fuel tank. This result is accomplished by the provision of an element which regulates the cross section of the air entrance orifice to the carburetor and is actuated either automatically by the air suction, or" positively in combination with the throttle control. I
Figure 1 shows diagrammatically one form of construction 'in vertical section.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing a modified form of construction. The. Venturi tube 0 is arranged at the side of the mixing pipe (1 and is of very narrow cross section. The free space 1 laterally of the Venturi tube 0 is closed by a butterfly valve 2 consisting of two vanes, the longer one of which keeps the valve closed under its own weight whilst the shorter acts as a damping surface to compensate for oscillations. 2 by the air suction is effected by the lifting of the long vane to a greater or lesser extent.
The automatic actuation of the valve At low engine speeds, the valve 2 remains closed and the whole of the air suction flows through the narrow Venturi tube 0, causing an increase in the atomization of the fuel and an increase in the degree of vacuum in the float chamber. With increasing engine speeds, the valve 2 begins to open until it is completely open for maximum engine power.
The quantlty of ejected fuel must however be intimately balanced according .to variation of cross section of the air orifice, as when the valve 2 is closed the submerged jet 5 would supply too much fuel. For this purpose the mouth 1 of the duct m is situated near the valve 2 in the chamber 1. When the valve 2 is closed, no flow of air takes place in the chamber 1, and consequently there is a much smaller vacuum at the mouth n than in the atomizing nozzle is, so that a large quantity of air enters the nozzle and thereby reduces the delivery of fuel by the jet The amount of air entering is determined by the jet t as soon as the valve 2 opens.
air current is set up also in the chamber 1 and the mouth n, which increases the vacuum at the mouth n and baflies the air entering the nozzle is through the jet t and thereby causes increase in the fuel delivered by the jet 2'.
Exact adjustment of the delivery of fuel by the jet 2' to the position of the valve 2 at I any instant is thus obtained.
The valve 2 may however also be positively actuated in conjunction with the throttle adjustment as shown in Figure 2. The p1voted lever 3 connected with the valve 6 by a link 4 presses on the arm 5 of the valve 2 when the valve 6 is opened to a predetermined extent, for example half open, so that until this predetermined position of the valve 6 is reached the Whole of the suction air flows through the narrow air jet 0.
In this case the vanes of the valve 2 may be equal in size.
