KAINZ ATTORN EYS tates time 2,943,615 Patented Ju y 1960 AIR INLET CONTROL MECHANISM FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Kurt Helmut Kainz, Stuttgart-Feuerbach, Germany, assignor to Daimler-Benz Aktiengesells'chaft, Stuttgart- Unterturkheim, Germany Filed Mar. 15, 1956, Ser. No. 571,624 Claims priority, application Germany Mar. 23, 1955 Claims. (Cl. 123-140) 7 My invention relates to an air inlet control mechanism for an internal combustion engine of the type in which fuel is injected into the 'air charge and is ignited upon subsequent compression by asparkplug.
In the operation of such machines it is an incident of frequent occurrence that when the operator desires to stop the engine and for this purpose turns ofi the electric current supply to the spark plug, the engine will continue to operate. This continued operation is due to automatic ignition of the charge in the cylinder by matter having a high temperature, such as glowing deposits of oil carbon or other incandescent material, which is likely to form because of the high ratio of compression and of the consequent high temperature of the compressed air charge.
It is the object of the present invention to provide means which prevent the engine from operating automatically after the current supply to. the spark plug has been cut off. More particularly, it is the object of the present invention torprovide an improved air inlet mechanism which will cut off the air supply to the engine completely coincidentally to the deenergization of the electrical ignition.
In a prior internal combustion engine of the carburetor type, it has been proposed to cut oif the fuel supply within the carburetor to the auxiliary air duct bypassing the throttle valve so that the air sucked into the cylinder will no longer be carbureted (German Patent No. 905,803). This principle, however, is not readily applicable to engines of the injection type. An attempt of cutting off the fuel supply to the injection pump would not succeed in preventing the undersirable automatic operation of the engine because the injection pump would continue to inject fuel until its suction chamber would have'been completely emptied. An attempt, however, to cut ofi the fuel supply to the injection nozzle by a valve in terposed between such nozzle and the fuel injection pump would be impracticable because of the high fluid pressure of the fuel to be controlled by such valve or valves. Moreover, in a multi-cylinder engine as many of such valves woud be required as cylinders are provided. While it would be possible to provide means operative upon-deenergization of the electrical ignition to move the rod controlling the injection pump towards its zero feed position, such means would become rather complicated and voluminous because of the high power required to displace said rod.
Therefore, it is a further object of the present invention to provide improved means for positively stopping an internal combustion engine of the injection type upon deenergization of the electrical ignition, such means being capable of easy installation in existing engines and being simple and inexpensive to'manufacture and being reliable in operation.
Further objects'of my invention will appear from a detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention following hereinafter with reference to the draw- 2' ing, it being understood that the terms and phrases used in such detailed description have been chosen for the purpose of illustrating the invention rather than that of restricting or limiting the same. The features of novelty for which patent protection is sought are pointed out in the appended claims. 7
In the drawing an axial section taken through the inlet pipe of an internal combustion engine having any desired number of cylinders is illustrated. The tubular valve housing 1 of a butterfly valve 2 has a flange 13 which is bolted to the inlet opening of a manifold connected to the inlet valves of an internal combustion engine of the injection type in which fuel is injected into the air charge in the cylinders and is ignited upon subsequent compression of the air charge by electrical spark plugs. The quantity of fuel injected is controlled by pressureresponsive means which act on the fuel injecting pump and are connected by a pipe 3 to a port 14 provided in the wall of the housing 1 between the butterfly valve member 2 and the flange 13. As such pressure-responsive control means are well known in the art and do not form subject matter of the present invention they are neither shown nor described. It will be understood, however, that when the butterfly valve 2 is moved to its closed position shown in the drawing, the pressure prevailing in the intake manifold will drop and the reduction of pressure will be communicated through port 14 and the pipe 3 to the pressure-responsive control means which will so adjust the fuel injecting pump as to reduce the quantity offuel injected to the amount required for the idling operation of the engine. The air required to sustain the combustion during the idling operation is admitted to the intake manifold through an auxiliary air inlet duct .4 which bypasses the mainair inlet duct 15 which is controlled and adapted to be completely closed by the butterfly valve 2. The auxiliary air inlet duct 4 extends from a bore 16 provided in the flaring mouth 17 of the main air inlet duct to the port 18 provided in the flaring discharge portion 19 of the valve housing 1.
The substantially cylindrical duct 4 is intersected by a cylindrical bore 20 of larger diameter. A cylindrical slide valve member 5 is guided in the bore 20 and is thus adapted in its lowermost position to completely close the duct 4. .The boreZtl extends axially through a cylindrical boss 9 and ,its upper section of enlarged diameter is threaded to receive the threaded lower end of a sleeve 3 in which the reduced stem 6 of the cylindrical valve member 5 is sl-i'dably guided. A solenoid 11 is coaxially mounted onthe sleeve 8 and surrounds a coaxially movable core member 7 which has a lower threaded stem 21 screwed into a threaded coaxial bore of the stem 6. Thus, the core member 7 is connected with the valve member 5 for common movement. A washer 22 seated on a shoulder of the stem 6 supports a helical spring 12 surrounding the upper portion of stem 6- and bearing against the lower face of the solenoid coil 11. A nut 10 engages the external threads of the sleeve 8 and bears upon the boss 9.
From the foregoing it will appear that the slide valve 5 is movable between a projected position in which it closes the auxiliary duct 4 and the retracted position shown in the drawing in which it opens the auxiliary duct to such an extent that the air required to sustain the combustion for the idling operation of the engine maypass therethrough. The spring 12 tends to move the slide valve 5' to the projected position in which the auxiliary duct 4 is closed but can be overcome by the attraction exerted by the solenoid coil 11 upon the core 7. The retracted position is determined by the cooperating stop faces provided at the bottom of the sleeve 8 and by the shoulder between the valve member 5 and the stem 6 ping the engine at the option of the operator by simple deenergization permitting the spring 12 to move the valve member to projected closing position thus sealing the auxiliary duct 4. As the main air inlet duct is closed by the throttle valve 2 when the engine is set for idling.
operation, it will appear that by deenergization of the solenoid 11 the intake manifold of the engine will be completely sealed against the atmosphere thus stopping the engine.
The auxiliary valve 5, the spring 12 urging the auxiliary valve to its closing position, and the electromagnetic mechanism 7, 11 eifective to keep the auxiliary valve open for operation of the engine and adapted to be optionally rendered inefiiective for stopping the engine constitute a unit which is detachably mounted in the wall of the auxiliary air inlet duct 4 and may readily be assembled and disassembled and even applied to existing machines. Preferably, the solenoid 11 is controlled by suitable means which will energize the solenoid when the ignition is put in operation and will deenergize the solenoid 11 when the electrical ignition is cut off.
In internal combustion engines of the type in which fuel is injected into the air charge in the cylinder and is ignited upon subsequent compression of the air charge by spark plugs, it is a requirement that when the engine is set to idling operation the main throttle 2 is fully closed. Otherwise the pressure-responsive means connected to the pipe 3 and controlling the quantity of fuel injected would be adversely affected by air flowing past the main throttle valve 2. As the ignition is on during the idling operation of the engine, the solenoid 11 is energized. Therefore, the core 7 is attracted and the auxiliary valve 5 is in retracted position which is determined by adjustment of the sleeve 8. Depending on this adjustment, the auxiliary air inlet duct 4 is so throttled by the auxiliary valve 5 that the air admitted through the duct 4 is just suflicient to sustain the combustion required for the idling operation.
When the operator wishes to stop the engine he will turn off the ignition whereby the solenoid 11 will be deenergized at the same time permitting the spring 12 to close the valve 5 thus completely shutting off any air from the intake manifold of the engine. Where it is desired to apply the invention to existing machines the sleeve 8 and the elements carried thereby are substituted for the conventional regulating screw serving the purpose of adjusting the idling speed of the engine.
While the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that it is capable of further modification, and this application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention following, in general, the principles of the invention and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which the invention pertains, and as fall within the scope of the invention or the limits of the appended claims.
