Definitions

  • the present invention relates to carburetting devices for internal combustion engines comprising, in their intake pipe, upstream of the main throttle valve actuated yby the driver, an auxiliary throttle valve which opens automatically and gradually as the flow rate of the air passing through said conduit or pipe increases and which controls a metering member serving to ⁇ adjust the How rate of the fuel admitted into said conduit in such manner that the cross section lof the air passage controlled by said auxiliary throttle valve and the cross section of the fuel passage control-led by said metering member are substantially proportional to each other.
  • the fuel is supplied from a constant level chamber the upper portion of which generally communicates exclusively with the external air, or still better with the carburettor air intake (portion of the intake conduit located upstream of the auxiliary throttle valve), downstream of an air filter.
  • air and fuel are supplied under the same pressure difference and form a mixture of substantially constant richness.
  • the chief object of the present invention is to provide a carburetting device of this kind which is better adapted lto meet the requirements of practice and in particular which is such that the richness of the air and fuel mixture is automatically adapted to conditions of operation of the internal combustion engine independent of its temperature.
  • a first feature of the present invention relates to devices of the above mentioned kind wherein the upper portion of the constant level chamber communicates on the one hand with the external atmosphere (or with the air intake of the carburetting device) and on the other hand with the space existing in the intake conduit between the two throttle valves, means being provided for cutting olf the communication between said chamber and said space.
  • This feature consists in arranging said means in such manner that they are automatically controlled in accordance with the load of the internal combustion engine and possibly further in accordance with the ow rate of air through the intake pipe.
  • a second feature of the invention relates to carburetting devices ofthe kind above referred to wherein the auxiliary throttle valve is an eccentrically pivoted flap the axis of rotation of whichdivides it into a small area portion and a large area portion.
  • This feature consists in providing in the air intake pipe a wall portion surrounding the surface described by the outline of the large area portion of the fiap valve during at least part of the movement thereof, the upper portion of the constant level fuel chamber ⁇ being preferably connected to the portion of the air intake pipe located upstream of the large area portion of the flap valve.
  • a third feature of the present invention relates to caryburetting devices of the kind :above referred to wherein the fuel metering member consists of a movable needle of non cylindrical shape which limits an Aannular passage for fuel between itself and the inner wall of a calibrated orifice provided in a fixed diaphragm.
  • This feature consists in mounting said diaphragm between, on the one hand, a resilient ring bearing upon a rigid and fixed element with respect to which the diaphragm has a radial play, and, on the other hand, a rigid adjusting element capable of screwing in or on said fixed element, in such manner that the radial position of the diaphragm with respect to the needle can be determined lby axial displacement of said needle before compression of said ring and that the axial position of the diaphragm with respect to the needle can be determined by screwing of the adjusting element and resilient flattening of said ring, which serves also to ensure fluid-tightness of the path through which fuel flows in the portion of said path located upstream of the diaphragm.
  • a fourth feature of the present ⁇ invention relates to carburetting devices of the kind above referred to wherein the Vfuel metering member is a needle of noncylindrical shape rigidly carried by a Irod mounted slidable in a tubular guide, which leads on the one side to the air intake and on the other side to a point below the fuel level in the constant level chamber.
  • This feature consists in providing inside the guide and in an intermediate portion thereof, a ⁇ groove communicating with lthe upper portion of the constant level chamber, so that, if the tubular guide is subjected on the side of the air intake to a pressure lower than on the other side, it is air admitted through said groove (and not fuel) which is sucked in from the constant level chamber to the -air intake through the annular play existing between said rod and its guide.
  • a fifth feature of the present invention relates to carburetting devices of the kind yabove referred to and consists in that the same block carries at least most of the fuel conduits and of the air mete-ring means and that this block is fixed to the air yintake in suc'h manner that it dips int-oI the constant level chamber while being at -a distance from lthe walls of this chamber, thermally :insulating joints being provided between the block and the air intake and the block and/or the air intake being hollowed out inside their junction zone in such manner as to reduce their mutual contact surface.

  • FIG. 3 is a part sectional view showing another position of operation of ⁇ a portion of the device of FIG. l;
  • FIG. 4 shows, similarly to FIG. l, a carburetting device made according to a modification
  • FIG. 5 shows a curve rela-tive to the operation of the carburetting device made according to the present invention
  • FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 1 of a carburetting device made according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 shows a modification of a detail of FIG. 6.
  • the carbure'tting device includes an intake pipe 1 containing, upstream of the main throttle valve 2 actuated by the driver (through links not shown), 4an auxiliary throttle valve 3 which opens automatically and gradually 'as the flow rate of air passing through said pipe (in the direction of the arrows of FIGS. 1, 4 and 6) increases.
  • Auxiliary throttle valve 3 controls a fuel mete-ring member 4. Fuel is sucked in toward pipe 1 through a conduit S opening into a portion of said pipe 1 where there is a sub-atmospheric pressure substantially equal to that existing between throttle valves 2 and 3.
  • the ma-in throttle valve 2 is mounted on a rotating spindle 6.
  • the auxiliary throttle valve 3 is mounted in the ⁇ air intake 7 which constitutes the upstreamend of pipe 1 and which is protected by an air filter (not shown).
  • Said auxiliary valve 3 is in the form of a flap eccentrically mounted on a rotating spindle 8.
  • the eccentricity of said iiap is such that it tends to open under the effect of the :air stream entering through 7, against the action of return means such as a counterweight or, as shown, a spring 9.
  • flap 3 may be replaced Iby any equivalent t-hrottling member (sliding piston extending transversely to the air intake 7, slide valve subjected to the action of a return spring, and so on).
  • throttle valve 3 which limits a space 10 together wit-h the other throttle valve 2, serves to keep in said space a sub-atmospheric pressure which is substantially constant or .at least varies as a given function of the flow' rate of air entering pipe 1.
  • Fuel is fed from a constant level chamber 11 where the fuel level N i-s fixed fby a float 12, this oat con trolling a needle valve 13 mounted in a feed conduit 14. Fuel is drawn from constan-t level chamber 11 through a passage 17, located under the fuel level N in said chamber 11, into a chamber 16, whence it passes, through a calibrated orilice 15, into conduit 5.
  • the metering member 4 consists of a needle the cross section of which varies along its length and which is carried by a rod 18 slidable in a tubular guide 19.
  • This guide 19 opens at it upper end into air intake 7, upstream of Hap valve 3, whereas the lower end of guide 19 is located below level N.
  • Rod 18 is mechanically connected to flap 3 in such manner that the angular displacements of said fiap 3 from its closing position (shown in solid lines in FIGS. 1, 4 and 6) to its maximum opening position produce a sliding displacement of needle 4 with respect to orifice 15, that is to say a variation of the free annular surface of this orifice.
  • the fuel sucked in through conduit 5 is metered in laccordance with the -fiow rate of the -air stream passing through conduit 1.
  • conduit opens into space 10 through an orifice 20 so that the fuel metered in orifice 15 by needle 4 is intro-duced by suction into space 10.
  • conduit 5 might open into a passage bypassing the main throttle valve 2.
  • conduit 5 opens into a chamber 21 which is subjected to the suction existing in space owing to the provision of an orifice 22 and which is connected with the suction of a pump 23.
  • This pump delivers fuel, previously metered by needle 4, toward at least one injector 24 opening into intake pipe 1 downstream of the main throtktle valve 2.
  • the constant level chamber 11 is permanently vented either by connection with the air intake 7 or by connection with space 10, there is maintained in said chamber 11 a constant pressure (which may be subatrnospheric). It is clear that in this case the cross section of the air passage determined by fiap valve 3 in intake pipe 1 and the cross section of the fuel passage determined by needle 4 in orifice 15 are substantially proportional to each other and that the air and fuel thus supplied under the same pressure difference form a mixture of substantially constant richness.
  • conduit 38 does not open directly into chamber 11 but is branched to conduit 34 in such manner that both of these conduits open through a com-mon orifice 39 into chamber 11.
  • both of these conduits are provided with calibrated orifices 4f) and 41 respectively, the respective cross sections of which determine the value of the suction, attenuated with respect to that exerted in space 10, which is applied to chamber 11 when conduit 38 is opened.
  • conduit 38 is provided with a throttling member 42 carried by a diaphragm 43 which limits in casing 44 a chamber 4S connected through a conduit 46 with the portion of pipe 1 located downstream of the main throttle valve 2.
  • a spring 47 is mounted so as yieldingly to oppose the action of the suction transmitted to diaphragm 43 through conduit 46.
  • conduit 38 communicates through an orifice 43 with a portion of space 10 located downstream of auxiliary throttle valve 3 whatever be the degree of opening of said valve, whereby the pressure in chamber 11 depends only upon the load.
  • conduit 38 instead of having its end 48 (FIG. 1) permanently located downstream of the auxiliary throttle valve 3 has its end 48a (FIG. 4) located in such manner that it passes from the downstream side t0 the upstream side of said secondary throttle valve 3 when the latter is gradually opened.
  • FIG. 4 shows in solid lines the position of throttle valve 3 for which orifice 48a is downstream thereof and, in dot-and-dash lines, the position of said valve 3 for which orifice 48a is going to pass from the downstream side to the upstream side thereof.
  • FIG. 5 shows a curve obtained by plotting in abscissas the number of revolution per minute V of the engine and in ordinates the richnesses a of the fuel and air mixture to be supplied to the engine, this richness being for instance the ratio of the weight of fuel to the weight of air in the mixture.
  • orifice 48a passes from the downstream to the upstream side of the auxiliary throttle valve 3. In this case it is no longer the suction existing in space 10, but a pressure increasing up to that existing in air intake 7 that is transmitted through conduit 38. Everything therefore takes place as if throttling member 42 gradually entered into action and the mixture is gradually enriched from the partial loads (AB') to the full load (CD) without discontinuity between these two ranges of operation.
  • a throttling member 42a mounted in reverse fashion with respect to the throttling member 42 of the above described embodiments (FIGS. l, 3 and 4), that is to say adapted to close conduit 38 when the load is low and to open it (as shown by FIG. 6) when the load is high.
  • the load is determined by the pressure existing downstream of the main throttle valve 2.
  • the means for controlling throttle member 42a are then identical to those for controlling the throttle member 42 of FIGS. l, 3 and 4, with the difference that spring 47 tends to open said member 42a whereas it tended to close throttle member 42.
  • the load is supposed to be indicated by the angular position of the main throttle valve 2.
  • the spindle 6 of said valve 2 carries, fixed thereon, a lever 49 adapted to bear upon throttle member 42a, which is carried by a diaphragm 43a subjected to the action of a spring 47a urging throttle member 42a toward the closed position.
  • conduit 38 may open into space It) through an oriiice 48 located downstream of auxiliary throttle valve 3 whatever be the degree of opening thereof, whereby the pressure in chamber 11 depends only upon the load.
  • conduit 38 opens, as shown in dotted lines, through an orifice 48h positioned in such manner that it passes from the upstream side to the downstream side of throttle valve 3 when said valve is gradually opened.
  • throttling member 42a For low and medium loads of the engine (that is to say when the degree of opening of the main throttle valve 2 is small or medium), throttling member 42a is brought into play by the suction transmitted to chamber 45 (FIG. 6) or by spring 47a (FIG. 7), so that chamber 11 1s subjected to the pressure in the air intake 7 transmitted through conduit 34. The mixture admitted to the engine is normal. On the contrary, for high loads, throttling member 42a is brought out of action by spring 47 (FIG. 6) or by lever 49 (FIG. 7) so that chamber 11 is subjected to a suction attenuated with respect to that existing in space 10. The mixture fed to the engine is leaner.
  • conduit 38 ends at 48 (FIG. 6) this reduction of the richness of the mixture is obtained suddenly, for a given limit of the load. On the contrary, if conduit 38 opens at 4811, this reduction of the richness is obtained gradually in a manner such as disclosed by the line portion BC of FIG. 5.
  • the richness of the fuel and air mixture fed to the engine is exactly adapted, in all ⁇ circumstances to the operation of the engine.
  • very simple tests will enable anyone skilled in the art to determine in what direction the richness of fuel and -air mixture is to vary as a function of the load and whether the air How rate is to cooperate in controlling this variation.
  • intake pipe 1 is provided with a wall portion 25 forming the geometrical envelope of the outline of the larger portion S of auxiliary throttle valve 3 when it is moved as shown by FIGS. l, 4 and 6.
  • auxiliary throttle valve 3 As the whole edge of the portion S of throttle valve member 3 remains very close to wall portion 25, lthe air streams along this edge remain always perpendicular to the portion S of the throttle valve, that is to say their angle of incidence is constant. The opening torque is lthus given an increased total value. As a consequence, the angular opening of auxiliary throttle valve 3 is much more accurate and more characteristic of the air flow rate value. Furthermore, it is then possible to use return means, such as spring 9, which are more power-ful and consequently easier to provide since less influenced by frictional resistances.
  • the auxiliary throttle valve consists of an eccentrically pivoted flap 3 and the fuel metering member of a needle 4 limiting, in a calibrated tone 15 provided in diaphragm 26, an annular passage for the fuel, this needle being rigid with a rod 18 mounted slidable in a rectilinear guide.
  • Rod 18 is connected t-o iap 3 through an arm 2'7 xed to the portion s of flap 3, a connecting rod 28 pivoted to said arm 27 and a ballandsocket joint 29 serving to connect rod 28 to rod 18.
  • the tolerances of manufacture are such that the position of diaphragm 26 along the axis of rod 1S is not determined initially in an accurate manner. This lack of accuracy inuences the law of variation of the yfuel ow ⁇ rate as a function of the angular position of ap 3. Furthermore, the radial position of diaphragm 26 is also lacking in accuracy with respect to needle 4, which risks being wedged in the diaphragm after it has been driven therein.
  • diaphragm 26 is set between, on the one hand, a ring 30 of rubber -or any other resilient material which is not attacked by the fuel, said ring bearing upon a rigid and xed element 31, and, on the other hand, a rigid adjustment member 32 adapted to screw in or on fixed element 31, the whole being such that diaphragm 26 has a radial play (that is to say a play in the horizontal direction in FIGS. 1 and 6) with respect to element 31.
  • fixed element 31 may consist of a block in which are provided conduits 5 and 17 and guide 19 :and adjusting member 32 may consist of a plug provided with external screw threads and screwed in block 31.
  • the radial position of diaphragm 26 with respect to needle 4 can be determined, before compression of ring 36, by driving needle 4 into the diaphragm. Then the axial position of diaphragm 26 with respect to needle 4 can be determined by screwing of plug 32. and resilient attening of ring 30, which varies the width of the annular space limited inside the diaphragm by needle 4, for a given position thereof. Ring 30 also serves to ensure liquidtightness of the position of chamber 16 located upstream of the diaphragm whatever be the adjustment position of said di-aphragm.
  • tubular guide 19 is subjected to a pressure lower on the sid-e of lair intake 7 then on that of constant level -chamber 11.
  • fuel might be sucked in from said chamber 11 into air intake 7 through the annular play existing between rod 18 and its guide 19, which would interfere with the good operation of the engine.
  • the orifice 40 of conduit 34 is located in the portion of intake pipe 1 located upstream of the portion S of flap valve 3, preferably at a distance from the wall of air intake 7.
  • this portion S of iiap 3 practically does not allow air to pass along wall portion 25, the pressure existing in said portion of pipe 1 is purely static without any dynamic effect: thus the pressure existing in chamber 11 is not influenced by the disturbances due to variations of the air ow rate in intake pipe 1, outside ofthe action of orifices 48a and 48b.
  • the carburetting device is fixed to the engine through a flange 35 which is generally located close to throttle valve 2.
  • a flange 35 which is generally located close to throttle valve 2.
  • the heat developed in the engine is transmitted to pipe 1 and might be transmitted to block 31, thus producing the formation of fuel vapor bubbles in conduits 5 or 17.
  • These bubbles might interfere with the operation of the engine and in particular produce an irregular operation at low speeds, that is to say for low flow rates of fuel.
  • block 31 is xed to the air intake 7 of pipe 1 in such manner as to dip into chamber 11 while b-eing ⁇ at a distance from the walls thereof, a thermally insulating joint 36 being provided between block 31 :and pipe 1. Furthermore, block 31 and/ or pipe 1 are provided with recesses 37 inside their joining zone so as to reduce to a minimum their surface of contact through joint 36 and consequently the transmission of heat toward element 31.
