Definitions
- the present invention relates to pressure reducing devices especially for use in carburation systems working normally by continuous injection of fuel through at least one fuel injection orifice opening into the air intake pipe of the system-downstream of the throttleprovided in said pipe.
- Such carburation systems comprise a pressure reducing device interposed between a source of fuel under pressure and said injection orifice so as to reduce to a value suitable for injection through said orifice the pressure of the liquid supplied by said source.
- the pressure reducing device comprises a chamber having an inlet fed from said source, an outlet leading to said injection orifice and a by-pass port controlled by a by-pass valve having an active portion extending across said port to control the outflow of fuel therethrough in such manner as to reduce the fuel pressure in said chamber to the desired value.
- This by-pass valve is subjected to the opposed actions of the fuel pressure in said chamber tending to open said valve and of a movable member tending to close said valve, this member being actuated, in a direction coinciding with the direction of movement of said valve, by control means, responsive to vari ations of a factor of operation of the engine.
- control means are diaphragm means carrying said member and subjected to the action of a pressure which constitutes the above mentioned factor of operation of the engine, this pressure being that existing in a venturi located in the carburetor air intake pipe upstream of the throttle.
- Said control means are operatively connected to said movable member at points located in an annular region thereof transverse to the above mentioned direction.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a pressure reducing device which obviates this drawback.
- the action of the movable member is transmitted to the by-pass valve exclusively by a push-rod bearing at its ends respectively against said valve and against said movable member, the length of said rod being greater than the distance between said valve active portion and said annular region of said member, said valve and said member being shaped to accommodate said push-rod so that the only contact of said rod with said valve is on the other side of said valve active portion from said member and the only contact of said rod with said member is on the other side of said member annular region from said valve.
- FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of a carburation system comprising a pressure reducing device according to this invention
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrammatical views of known devices given to indicate the drawbacks obviated by the present invention.
- the carburation system shown by FIG. 1 comprises an intake pipe 22 through which air supplied through an air filter 33 flows in the downward direction.
- This pipe 22 is provided, upstream of an air throttle 23, with'a venturi 24 for measuring the flow rate of the air sucked in by the engine.
- a second venturi 25 is disposed inside venturi 24, coaxially therewith.
- a conduit 15 opens into the throat of venturi 25.
- Fuel is injected through calibrated orifice 11 into pipe 22 at a point thereof downstream of throttle 23.
- This orifice 11 opens into a chamber 26 fed with air through a duct 27 and in which the pressure is close to atmospheric pressure.
- This chamber 26 opens into intake pipe 22 through an orifice 28 the cross section area of which is smaller as compared with that of duct 27 so that orifice 11 is not subjected to the suction which may exist in pipe 22 downstream of throttle 23.
- Fuel is supplied to orifice 11 from a pump 8 which delivers this fuel at a pressure higher than the desired pressure to be obtained at said orifice 11.
- the pressure reducing device with which the present invention is concerned is interposed between the delivery conduit 6 of pump 8 and a conduit 10 leading to injection orifice 11 to supply this orifice with fuel at the desired pressure.
- This pressure reducing device comprises a cylindrical casing 1 forming a chamber 2 having, at its lower part, on the one hand, an inlet communicating with the pump delivery conduit 6 through a calibrated metering orifice 7 and on the other hand, an outlet communicating with conduit 10 which leads to injection orifice 11.
- Chamber 2 is open at the top to form a by-pass port the degree of opening of which is controlled by a by-pass valve 3 and through which an excess of fuel flows out into a body 12 to return therefrom through a conduit 13 to the fuel tank 9 serving to feed pump 8.
- Bypass valve 3 comprises, at the top thereof, an active portion in the form of an annular disc cooperating with the edge of the by-pass port formed at the top of chamber 2.
- Bypass valve 3 further comprises a stem 4 extending downwardly from said active portion and slidably guided in a sleeve 5 integral with casing 1 and coaxial therewith.
- the pressure in chamber 2, and therefore the pressure at which fuel is fed through the outlet conduit 10, depends upon the degree of opening of by-pass valve 3.
- This valve is urged upwardly by the fuel pressure in chamber 2 and downwardly by a push-rod 18 operated as it will be hereinafter explained.
- the force with which rod 18 pushes valve 3 downwardly therefore determines the pressure at the outlet 16 of chamber 2.
- the force acting on push-rod 18 is exerted by a diaphragm 14 itself subjected to the suction transmitted thereto through conduit 15 which opens into the throat of venturi 25.
- a second gas-tight diaphragm 16 of an area substantially smaller than that of diaphragm 14.
- a member 17 is carried by the central portions of these diaphragms 14 and 16 so that said member is movable in a direction coinciding, at least approximately, with the direction of the displacements of valve 3.
- valve disc 3 In a likewise manner, the fuel pressure applies an upward force f on valve disc 3 at point thereof located at the center of the under face of said disc 3 (the plane of this face being designated by P), and at point D where rod 18 is bearing upon valve 3 a reaction force equal and opposed to f is exerted by said rod 18 upon valve 3.
- valve 3 and member 17 constantly remained perfectly in line with each other, there would be no trouble. But in practice this is impossible and the two couples of forces (f and the corresponding reaction force, f and the corresponding reaction force) brought into play tend to produce the maximum possible misalinement between the axis of piece 17, the axis of push-rod 18 and the axis of the stem 4 of valve 3.
- the consequences are frictions, in particular between valve stem 4 and its guiding sleeve 5, and strains in diaphragms 14 and 16, which are distorted.
- the pressure reducing device lrses most of its sensitivity because the frictions and strains due to the above mentioned misalinement are considerable in regard of the accuracy to be obtained from the device.
- valve 3 (with its stem 4), member 17 and push-rod 18 are arranged in such manner that said rod 18 bears against valve 3 only at a point located on the other side of plane P from member 17 and that said rod 18 bears against member 17 only at a point located on the other side of plane Q from valve 3.
- the stem 4 of valve 3 is provided with an axial blind hole 19 extending downwardly from plane P and piece 17 is provided with an axial blind hole 20 extending upwardly from the lower end of said piece 17 to some distance above plane Q, and push-rod 18 is of a length greater than the distance between planes P and Q so that the ends of said rods bear respectively against the bottoms 19,, and 20 of these holes 19 and 20.
- Holes 19 and 20 are made of slightly greater diameters than the respective portions of rod 18 engaged therein. Furthermore the bottom surfaces 19 and 20,, and the ends of rod 18 are made of curved axial section, the radius of curvature of each rod end being smaller than the radius of curvature of the corresponding bottom surface 19,, or 20,.
- a spring 21 is interposed between the bottom of chamber 2 and the annular disc portion of valve 3 so as to balance the weight of the movable structure actuated by diaphragms 14 and 16.
- valve 3 is in wide open position when no suction is transmitted through conduit 15, i.e. when the pressure on both sides of diaphragm 14 is the atmospheric pressure.
- the relative pressure in outlet conduit 10 is then zero and there is no fuel injection, which is correct since there is no air fiow through intake pipe 22.
- the sensitivity of the device would produce a small relative pressure in outlet conduit 10 and fuel would be injected at 11 into intake pipe 22.
- a cover 29 is provided above it and the chamber 30 formed between said diaphragm 14 and cover 2? is placed in communication with the atmosphere through a hole 31, either directly or preferably through a conduit 32 opening into intake pipe 22 just downstream of air filter 33.
- a pressure reducing device for lowering the fuel pressure supplied by said pump to a value suitable for fuel injection through said orifice, which pressure reducing device comprises, in combination, a body, means in said body forming a vertical axis cylindrical chamber, said chamber having, at the bottom thereof, an inlet connect ed with the delivery of said fuel pump and an outlet con nected with said fuel injection orifice, said chamber being open at the top to form a circular upper edge, a by-pass valve having a top portion in the form of a disc extending over said edge to control the gap between said edge and said disc, said valve further comprising a stern extending downwardly from said disc coaxially therewith, means in said chamber for guiding said valve stem coaxial with said chamber, a member in
