4 Claims. (Cl. 261-23) The object of this invention is to reduce the tendency for a throttle on an automobile carburetor to freeze when the throttle is almost closed due to the action of the low speed nozzle.
A secondary object is to permit an engine to start and to keep running even if the throttle does become frozen so that the throttle cannot be moved.
Figure 1 is a partial cross-section taken on plane 11 of Figure 2.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the flange looking up.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 2 with a modification added.
In the figures:
FIGURES 1 AND 2 A double carburetor is intended in both cases although only one throttle is illustrated. This particular carburetor is intended for use with a V-8 engine, one barrel for each bank of four, cylinders and one inlet manifold for each bank.
50 is one arm of a double inlet manifold, the other arm being right behind it and identical with 50.
10 is the main air venturi, being one of the two identical venturis of the two identical carburetors.
12 is one of the two main fuel nozzles and discharges into the throat of the venturi 10.
The other nozzles are not shown.
13 and 14 are the two low speed fuel nozzles for the two carburetors which derive their fuel from the same source, the float chamber 51, as the main fuel nozzle 12 (shown) and for the other main nozzle (not shown).
15 is one of the two mixture outlets above the throttle 16, which is one of the two butterfly throttles and is located in the mixture outlet 15.
17 is the other throttle.
22 and 23 are the two low speed fuel adjustments regulating flow from low speed fuel passages 13 and 14 to mixture outlets 45 and 47, respectively.
24 is a restriction in the bottom of low speed fuel passage 14. I
25 is a restriction in the bottom low speed fuel passage 13.
'IN FIGURE 2 26 and 27 are two identical slotsconducting low speed fuel to two mixture outlets 45 and 47 from the two restrictions 24 and 25 in the low speed fuel passages 13 and 14.
ice
28 is an air by-pass around both throttles.
29 and 31 are two slots discharging air from this by-pass passage 28 into mixture outlets 45 and 47 on the engine side of the throttle, and
39 is a slot which is one of the air entrances for the by-pass air from the mixing chamber 15 above the throttle 16.
The slots 25, 29, 39 and one similar to 39 (not shown), are formed in the casting 53 which separates the casting 52 containing the float chamber 51 from the inlet manifold 50.
The by-pass 28 carries the ice-forming low speed air away from the upstream lip of butterfly throttle 16.
A second connecting passage to 33 having two outlets and inlets 54 are shown to utilize the fluctuating differential pressure between the pressures in the two mixing chambers 45 and 47 which pressures are always out of step. The sources of the fluctuating pressure in passage 33 are the two passages 54 and 55. As shown by the two double arrows, whenever one block of cylinders is drawing mixture at the maximum, the minimum flow takes place in the other. The purpose of this transfer of below throttle mixture is to stir up the slow moving mass of air and fuel which are no longer mixed at the lip of the throttle.
An improvement in distribution occurs because of this fluctuation which helps distribution and is most marked when two throttles are closed.
FIGURE 3 The low speed restriction 24 (Fig. l) is connected with mixture outlet 45 through a semi-circular groove 40 with a slot 44 (corresponding to slot 26 of Figures 1 and 2); a similar semi-circular groove 42 and a slot 45 also connects restriction 24 with mixture outlet 47.
Operation With the throttle 16 closed, air flows around throttle 16 through and across slot 39 down by-pass 28 across slots 29 and 31 to engine side of throttle 16 so that the throttle 16 admits little, if any, air. Meanwhile, fuel flows past the needle valve 22. and also through the restriction 24 and across slot 26, both leading to the mixture outlet 45. The idle passage 24 and slot 26 transfer fuel, that would otherwise cause ice to form, to the face of the manifold 51 on which face ice is less likely to form as this manifold is warmer than 53, the second housing.
' 1N FIGURE 2 Passages 26 and 29that is, the fuel and air passages, are close together and passage outlet 55 from passage 33 is remote from the fuel outlet passage 26.
IN FIGURE 3 Passages 44 and 29 are not so close, and the fuel fans out into the air and the outlets 54 and 55 are adjacent to the fuel outlets 44 and 46 so that a better distribution of fuel and air results.
This improvement is found to be important under low speed operating conditions. If an attempt to move throttle 16 is made and it fails to open due to the low speed fuel issuing from orifices 18 and 24) thus causing the throttle to freeze, fuel will continue to flow past the needle 22 and also along the slot 40 through the restriction 24.
r rr t.
As the fuel sprays out of outlet slot 44 into mixture outlet 45, it is subjected to the rapid fluctuations in flow into and out of passage 55 from the mixture outlet 47 which creates turbulence.
The passages 54 and 55 help keep fuel in suspension. The passage 33 is a deadend passage operating the econo mizer diaphragm (not part of this invention);
The air by-pass creates rotation; the pulsating flow creates turbulence A turbulent rotation is'the end result which favors uniform distribution at low engine speeds between the various cylinders.
