Definitions
- The: present invention relates. to a control. for fuel. sys
- Figure 1' is a diagrammatic view of a control embodying our: invention
- Eigure 2 is a" characteristic curve of certain operating relationship
- Figure: 3 isa diagrammatic view. of fuel valvemounted inroperative. position inan. internal combustion engine.
- Therprimary-circuit.10 includes a potentiometer R which variesthemagnitude or intensity ofthe power or magnetomotive force supplied to a primary inductor 16 which is wound on a relatively high retentivity core 18.
- Primary inductor 16 is: connected. through? appropriate wiring harness to a plurality of segmental contacts 20. which are adapted to be successively engaged by a wiper arm- 22 which is connected to ground or reference potential at 24.
- Arm. 22 is. mounted on a shaft 26 which is arranged to be rotated asa function of engine s can.
- The: secondary circuit includes. a: secondary: inductor 28 wound on core 18 connected on one side to source of power E and on the other side to a transistor or power amplifier 30 through a base current limiting resistance R In some installations R may be omitted if desired.
- Power amplifier 30 is connected to each of the solenoids 32 a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h respectively located in electrically actuable fuel control members designated 34 a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h.
- the number of solenoids or fuel control members may conveniently correspond to the number of combustion chambers in "ice the engine to which thefuel supply system is adapted to? supply fuel.
- Sole-- noids 32 a, b, c, d, e, f; g and Ii are respectively connected by appropriate wiring harness to'segmental con--- tacts designated 36' a, b; c, d, e; f, g and h which areadapted to be successively engaged by awiper arm 22" for connection to ground or reference potential at 24.
- - Tra'nsistor' 30 is normally'cut off by voltage divider R R
- the transistor or power amplifier 30 is rendered: conductive when a properly oriented voltage" pulse or a: voltage pulse of proper polarity is received v from secondary inductor 28';
- the tertiary circuit 14 includes source of power E; a tertiary inductor 38 wound on core 18 and ⁇ resetcon-' tacts 40 which are adapted for actuation in timed relation' to wiper arm 22 for connecting tertiary inductor 38- to ground or reference potential at 42'.
- The" primary circuit causes the core to become saturated in the opposite direction shown at
- the time required for flurr in-core 18 to change from to +415, is-controlled bythe magnitude of the voltageor magnetomotive force in the primary inductor 16. It is also to-be” noted in Figure 2 that when wiper arm 22 breaks contact with a segment 20 and the" current is reduced to zerothat there i'ssubstantially no change in flux" and therefore noundesirable: surge of current in the inductor.
- Figure 3 shows a nozzle or' fuel control member 34 installed inthe'induction passage 44' of an internalcom'-- bustion engine 46 having a-' combustion chamber 48;
- fuel from the supply tank 50 isp1aced under: pressure by pump 52 and is delivered tothe member 34.
- Fuel supplied to the member 34 in excess of the amount injected. into the engine is returned" to the: supply tankvia restricted conduit 54;
- the voltage: supplied to primary inductors 16 is sufii'eienti to drive core 18' into saturation: The magnitude of the voltage supplied to primary inductors. 16 varies the time re'quired' for the flux to reach saturation in accordance with that following formula! Et: 2" RAM 10" Where:
- control of our invention requires relatively few parts and may be assembled in a small, light weight package and is of such a nature as to be extremely rugged and reliable in operation.
- the control with little or no adjustment, can be used with a variety of electrically actuable fuel members having a variety of electrical characteristics. While only one embodiment of our invention has been described it will be readily apparent to those skilled inthe art that various changes and arrangements can be made to obtainthe objects of the invention without departing fronrthe spirit thereof. ,-We claim:
