Definitions
- crankcase for an internal combustion engine is vented to the fuel-air inlet induction passage via a ventilation valve comprising a tubular valve housing having a comparatively small metering orifice which cooperates with a movable valve element responsive to decreasing pressure in the induction conduit for restricting the orifice
- a coil spring yieldingly opposes closing movement of the valve element and is seated on a tubular spring retainer adjustably telescoped into the upstream end of the valve housing to effect a predetermined rate of gas flow through the orifice when a predetermined low pressure differential corresponding to part load operation of the engine is applied across the orifice.
- a cylindrical movement limiting plunger extends through an opening in the sidewall of an elbow in the housing and is secured at a position adjusted to engage and limit closing movement of the valve element to effect a predetermined low rate of gas flow through the orifice when a predetermined high pressure differential is applied across the orifice corresponding to engine idling.
- An important object of the present invention is to provide an improved crankcase ventilation valve of the foregoing character that can be economically manufactured by conventional low cost methods, as for example by molding and stamping operations, wherein the valve parts may be readily assembled and adjusted either during or after assembly to compensate for comparatively large dimensional variations in the parts and to avoid the scrapping of costly valve assemblies, yet still meet the exacting standards required for satisfactory engine operation and exhaust emission control.
- it is an object to provide such a crankcase ventilating valve which is readily susceptible for adjustment at two critical regions of its pressure-flow relationship.
- Another and more specific object is to provide such a valve comprising a tubular L-shaped body containing a metering orifice upstream of the elbow or bend of the L-body and hav ing a tubular extension or spring retainer adjustably telescoped into its upstream end.
- a valve element movable within the housing is responsive to the pressure differential across the orifice for opening or restricting the latter.
- a coil biasing spring under compression between the valve element and the adjustable retainer or extension opposes movement of the valve element in the direction of orifice closing and urges movement of the valve element in the opposite direction to enable increased flow of crankcase gases during part throttle acceleration as the pressure in the carburetor induction conduit increases.
- the upstream end of the tubular valve housing comprising the tubular extension is connected to the crankcase.
- the downstream end of the housing is connected to the carburetor inlet induction conduit at a location downstream of the usual throttle valve and is thus subject to low induction pressure urging the valve element in the closing direction in opposition to the biasing spring.
- An adjustable movement limiting plunger extends through the sidewall ofthe housing at the region of the exterior angle of the elbow and coaxially with the orifice and valve element to engage the latter and limit the closing movement at a predetermined position of maximum restriction for the orifice when the engine is idling.
- a portion of the plunger extends to the exterior of the -valve housing and is accessible to facilitate axial adjustment of the plunger.
- a predetermined pressure differential corresponding to part throttle acceleration may be applied across the opposite ends of the housing and the resulting gas flow measured by a meter.
- the tubular spring retainer is then adjustably telescoped into the upstream end of the housing until the desired gas flow through the housing results.
- the pressure differential across the opposite ends of the valve housing may be increased during assembly to a second predetermined value to simulate engine idle operation.
- the movement limiting plunger is then adjusted against the valve element until the gas flow through the housing desired for the engine idling condition results, again regardless of comparatively loose production tolerances in the dimensions ofthe valve components.
- Another object is to provide an improved crankcase ventilating valve of the above character wherein the spring rate is readily adjustable either during or after assembly of the valve components.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic front elevational view of an automobile engine embodying the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the crankcase ventilation valve of FIG. 1, showing in solid lines the position of the valve during engine operation under heavy load and showing in phantom the position of the valve during idle operation.
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing the valve prior to calibration and subject to a pressure differential of approximately 9 inches of mercury corresponding to light load.
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2, showing the position of the valve after the first calibration.
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 2, showing the position of the valve subject to a pressure differential of approximately 18 inches of mercury prior to the second calibration.
- FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 showing the position of the valve after the second calibration step.
- FIG. 7 shows the relationship between air flow measured in cubic feet per minute, through the valve the pressure in the inlet induction conduit, measured in inches of mercury and manifold vacuum.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 are fragmentary views similar to FIG. 2, showing two different modifications of the movable valve element and the spring retainer.
- FIG. l- shows a V-8 type engine 10 having a fresh air inlet 11, an air cleaner 12 connected by a carburetor induction conduit 13 with the combustion chamber of the engine 10, and a carburetor 14 for supplying fuel to the conduit 13.
- combustion blow-by products comprising a mixture of air, inert gases, and incompletely burned hydrocarbons leak past the engine pistons into the crankcase 15, which is normally maintained at or close to atmospheric pressure by means of a fresh air vent l6 communicating between the air inlet 11 and the crankcase 15 via internal passages not shown within the engine 10.
- the blow-by gases from the crankcase 15 are recirculated through internal passages not shown within the engine 10 and a crankcase vent line 17 to the induction conduit 13 downstream of the throttle valve 18.
- Liquid fuel is supplied via conduit 19 to the carburetor 14 from a fuel tank 20 which is conventionally closed by a vented closure cap 21 that prevents loss of fuel vapors to the atmosphere but enables air flow into the tank 20 to maintain its interior at atmospheric pressure.
- the upper portion of the tank 20 above the fuel level is vented via conduit 22 to the engine l0 and thence via internal passages not shown to the crankcase 15, Similarly the fuel bowl of the carburetor 14 is vented via conduit 23 to the crankcase 15.
- the foregoing may be conventional and is accordingly not described in further detail.
- a pressure responsive ventilation flow control valve 24 is provided in the line 17.
- the valve 24 may comprise a molded plastic L- shaped tubular housing 25 having an elbow 26 joining a downstream arm 27 terminating in an annular hose retaining enlargement 27a and an upstream cylindrical arm 28 enlarged at an intermediate region to provide an annular shoulder 29.
- a coaxial metering orifice 30 is provided by an annular orifice element 31 which may comprise a sheet metal stamping formed with a peripheral flange 31a embedded within the housing 25 at a fluid tight seal.
- a coaxial tubular plastic extension or spring retainer 32 having an annular spring retaining flange 33 at its upper end.
- the flange 33 provides a seat for the upper end of a coil biasing spring 34 which seats at its lower end at an annular seat 35 comprising an enlargement of an axially movable valve element 36.
- the valve element 36 has a tapered metering portion 37 which terminates upwardly in a cylindrical extension 38 of reduced diameter with respect to the orifice 30.
- the lower end of spring 34 loosely engages the body of the valve 36 frictionally to damp axial oscillation of the valve 36.
- a sheet metal annular seat 39 is embedded coaxially within the lower or upstream end of the extension 32 at a thickened region 320 comprising an annular retainer for a flexible hose.
- the valve 36 is tapered conically at 354 to seat at the annular seat 39 and close the opening therethrough upon downward movement of the valve 36, thereby to prevent a reverse flow through the conduit 17 in the event of engine backfire for example.
- a movement limiting plunger 40 adjusted as described below.
- the latter is adjusted axially to determine the maximum restriction for the orifice 30 and to permit a predetermined limited flow of crankcase ventilation gases through the valve 24 during idle operation, whereby fresh air is conducted into the crankcase via duct 16 and the mixture of air and blow-by gases are discharged into the conduit 13.
- the present invention provides a valve which is susceptible of calibration at two important regions of the pressure-flow relationship during or after assembly.
- the component parts, particularly the housing 25 and extension 32 may be formed by economical mass production molding processes and the orifice member 31 may be formed by economical sheet metal stampings.
- the valve 37 may comprise either a molded plastic or a formed metal part.
- the assembled valve 24 is illustrated prior to the final adjustment of the extension 32 within the arm 28 and the plunger 40 within the body 25.
- the assembly as shown in FIG. 3, with the extension 32 at P1 and the plunger 40 at P3, may be secured in a calibration fixture wherein the arm 27 is connected to a controlled source of low pressure and the extension 32 is connected to atmospheric pressure through a flow meter.
- a regulated pressure differential is then established across the valve, amounting to for example 9 inches of mercury in a typical situation.
- the flow through the valve might amount to about 4% CFM (cubic feet per minute) by way of example as illustrated by point F] of FIG. 7.
- a sleeve member adapted to fit over the arm 27 and seat at the shoulder 29 may then be forced downwardly against the extension 32, which latter may be maintained in a fixed position, causing the extension 32 to be telescoped into the arm 28 and thereby to adjust the position of the valve 36 with respect to the orifice 30 until the measured air flow through the housing 25 corresponds to point F2, which in the present situation will be slightly less than 3 CFM.
- the operating point of the valve 24 will thus be shifted from point F1 to point F2 in FIG. 7 and extension 32 will be shifted from P1, FIG. 3, to P2, FIG. 4.
- the extension 32 may be main tained at its adjusted position P2 within the arm 28 by friction, or a cement may be applied between the members 32 and 28 prior to the adjustment. The fresh cement will serve to lubricate these members and facilitate the adjustment. When the cement hardens, the members 28 and 32 will be secured against relative movement at a fluid-tight seal.
- valve 24 While the valve 24 is still confined within the calibration fixture, a new pressure differential may be established across the housing 25, which in a typical situation might be l8 inches of mercury corresponding to an idle operating condition.
- a typical flow at this position might be about l.5 CFM as indicated by point F4 of FIG. 7, whereby the valve 36 will be shifted to the position P4 of FIG. 5.
- the upper adjusting plunger 40 is then pushed inwardly against the extension 38 until the measured flow through the valve 24 is increased to the desired value indicated by point F5 in FIG. 7, which is approximately 2.2 CFM. At this condition, the plunger 40 and valve 36 will have been moved to the position P5 in FIG. 6.
- the plunger 40 may be retained in its adjusted position by a fluid-tight frictional engagement with the sidewall of the valve 25.
- the excess portion of the plunger 40 may be sheared flush with the exterior of indicated in phantom, FIG. 2, housing and heat sealed to the latter by a hot tool.
- a cement may be applied between the plunger 40 and housing 25 prior to the adjustment to lubricate the parts and facilitate the adjustment and to secure the plunger 40 at a fluid-tight seal within the body 25 in its finally adjusted position when the cement hardens.
- a final check of the valve may then be made by establishing a new pressure differential amounting to approximately 4 inches of mercury across the valve, FIG. 2. If the resulting flow through the valve as measured by the flow meter falls within the limits determined by lines 41 and 42, as for example at point F6 in FIG. 7, the valve is acceptable and can be packed for shipping. Also as illustrated in FIG. 6 by the portion ofline 43 between points F5 and F7 the rate of flow through orifice remains substantially constant and is independent of the pressure differential until the valve extension 38 moves out of contact with the movement limiting plunger 40. This is a well known small orifice phenomena at low pressure and prevails throughout engine idling and coasting at closed throttle conditions by virtue of the small effective orifice 30 when valve 36 is at its position of maximum restriction.
- the ventilation flow through orifice 30 may not equal the blow-by flow past the engine cylinders into the crankcase 15. If this condition arises, the flow through conduit 16 will be reversed and a portion of the crankcase gases will flow upwardly through duct 16 into the air inlet 11 and thence into conduit 13.
- the slope A of line 43 is determined by the spring rate of spring 34 and the taper of the valve metering portion 37.
- the spring rate may be adjusted as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 by suitably varying the number of effective coils of the spring 34.
- the upper portion of coil spring 34 is screwed on the internally threaded portion 33b of retainer 32. It is apparent that by adjusting the number of turns of the spring 34 between the valve seat 35 and threaded portion 33b, the effective spring rate may be adjusted to accommodate slight dimensional variations in the production spring 34 and to obtain the desired slope A illustrated in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 illustrates a similar adjustment wherein the upper portion of the spring 34 frictionally engages the upper portion of the extension or retainer 32 and the lower portion of the spring 34 is adjustably screwed onto a threaded portion 35b of the valve 36, in lieu of seating at the annular retaining flange 35.
- crankcase ventilating device for controlling the flow of gases from the crankcase to the fuel-air inlet induction con duit of an internal combustion engine to effect a predetermined low rate of flow when a large pressure differential exists between said crankcase and conduit corresponding to idle operation of said engine and to effect an increasing rate of flow when said pressure differential decreases within a range of pressures corresponding to part load operation of said engine
- valve housing having a passage for gases extending therethrough and opening at upstream and downstream ends adapted respectively for connection with said crankcase and conduit, said housing comprising upstream and downstream tubular members telescoped one within the other to an adjusted position relative to each other, the passage through said downstream member defining a metering orifice,

- said means for limiting the maximum restriction for said passage comprising a movement limiting plunger adjusted to a position within the path of said valve element to engage and limit movement of the latter in said direction opposed by said resilient means to effect a preselected rate of gas flow through said orifice independently of production variations in the dimensions of the components of said device when a preselected pressure differential cor responding to idle operation of said engine is maintained between said upstream and downstream ends.
- downstream tubular member defining an elbow and having a portion downstream of said orifice extending from said elbow angularly with respect to the axis of said orifice, said plunger extending axially of said orifice through the sidewall of said downstream tubular member to the exterior of the latter.
- said resilient means comprising a coil spring confined within said upstream tubular member around said valve element, said retaining means comprising a radially inward projection of said upstream member arranged to seat against the downstream end of said spring, said portion of said valve element engaged by said resilient means comprising a radial seat arranged to seat against the upstream end of said spring.
- said adjusted position effecting said preselected rate of gas flow from said crankcase and through said orifice when said preselected pressure differential corresponds to said part load operation.
