  • PATENIED 3, 857, 908 saw u 0F 5 FIGURE II.
  • FIGURE l7 is a diagrammatic representation of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIG. 1 of FIGURE l7.
  • APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND MODULATING ENGINE FUNCTIONS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are a number of functions of the internal combustion engine that are affected, usually adversely, by changes in operating conditions such as barometric pressure, ambient temperature and frequently one or more temperatures associated with the engine itself. In the case of stationary engines, and other engines operating under essentially constant load conditions, adjustments can be made to achieve efficient operation of the engine under these more or less constant conditions. In the case of the automotive engine, no single set of adjustments are capable of compensating for the constantly changing variables surrounding the engine.
  • Power enrichment is another important carburetor function that is adversely affected by changes in altitude and for which there has been no compensation provided in commercial carburetors.
  • Power enrichment customarily is provided by opening an auxiliary fuel passage or by moving a metering element so that additional fuel can enter the main fuel system.
  • the manifold vacuum is applied to one side of a diaphragm or piston and when manifold vacuum is high only normal fuel quantities are allowed to enter the main fuel system.
  • manifold vacuum becomes low then the movable member shifts into another position, thus allowing enrichment fuel to pass into the fuel system.
  • the movable member (diaphragm or piston) is normally biased by a spring to move toward the enrichment position and the bias of this spring is overcome by the manifold vacuum.
  • a compensation unit which can be installed in the vehicle or made integral with the carburetor as desired and this unit meters air into the various systems involved in such a manner as to automatically compensate for changes in engine operating characteristics caused by changes in atmospheric pressure and- /or temperature.
  • the compensation unit includes a capsule which is temperature and/or barometric sensitive to change its dimensions as the altitude or the temperature varies.
  • This capsule moves a plate to which are attached a number of metering elements.
  • One group of metering elements are arranged in such a manner as to increase air flow as the altitude increases and also increase air flow as temperature increases.
  • Another metering element is arranged to operate in the opposite direction so that maximum air flow occurs at low altitude and/or temperature and a decreasing quantity of air flows as the altitude and/or temperature increases.
  • the first-mentioned group of metering elements provide an air bleed into one or more of the fuel systems of the carburetor to overcome the tendency toward richness as temperature and altitude increase.
  • Another metering element is adapted to admit larger quantities of air at sea level and standard temperatures with a reduced quantity of air as the altitude and/or temperature increases.
  • This least mentioned metering element serves to reduce what would normally be a high manifold vacuum applied to some operative function of the engine at low altitudes and low temperatures and to reduce the air admitted with changes in those variables so that the vacuum actually applied will remain substantially constant, irrespective of any change in altitude or temperature.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an altitude and/or temperature compensating unit 10 attached to a carburetor 12 by a plurality of conduits 14, 16, 18 and 20, which illustrate one realization of the invention.
  • Carburetor 12 is suitably mounted on an intake manifold 13 which delivers the usual air/fuel mixture to an engine 15. Products of combustion are discharged from the engine into an exhaust pipe 17 and thence to a muffler 19 from which the products are discharged into the atmosphere.
  • An air cleaner or filter 21 is installed on carburetor 12 so that only clean filtered air is delivered to the intake of the internal combustion engine.
  • the unit comprises a body portion 22 having a cover 23 which cover seals the unit from the atmosphere.
  • the interior of unit 10 has air at substantially atmospheric pressure inside it at all times. Any deviation from absolute atmospheric pressure will be due to any pressure drop that may occur across the filter element and air cleaner 21.
  • an ambient air condition responsive device 30 which, in this instance, is a capsule of the bellows type which is conditioned to have within it a predetermined air pressure which, for barometric or altitude compensation represents a high degree of evacuation of the interior of the capsule.
  • capsule 30 there may be provided on the interior of capsule 30 a spring 32 which, through proper biasing, makes the capsule responsive to give the desired movement for a given change.
  • High evacuation makes the capsule almost totally responsive to barometric change, while partial evacuation causes the capsule to respond to both barometric and temperature change. Accordingly, the spring bias and degree of evacuation will be chosen to achieve predetermined requirements.
  • the base of capsule 30 is secured to the housing 22 in any convenient manner, in this instance by way of a boss 33.
  • a detent 34 is provided at the upper end of capsule 30 for receiving an adjustment screw 36 as will be hereinafter described.
  • a plate 40 is installed in an upper portion of housing 22 and is pivoted at 42 in such a manner that it positions adjustment screw 36 above unit 30 so that changes of length in unit 30 occasioned by changes in barometric pressure and- /or temperature will cause plate 40 to move upwardly and downwardly about the pivot 42.
  • a plurality of adjustment screws other than screw 36 are carried by plate 40. These are identified as 44, 46, 48 and 50. Each such adjustment screw is provided for the purpose of making final adjustment and calibration of the metering elements and biasing arrangements used in the device.
  • Screw 44 at its lower extremity contacts a metering pin 52 which, by way of conduit 16, controls the quantity of air bled into the main fuel system.
  • metering pin 52 which, by way of conduit 16, controls the quantity of air bled into the main fuel system.
  • Such bleed air when increased in quantity serves to diminish the amount of fuel delivered to the carburetor by the main fuel nozzle. When the bleed air is reduced or cut off, a greater quantity of fuel is made available through the main nozzle.
  • Metering pin 52 is urged in an upward direction by a biasing spring 54.
  • Clean air from the interior of housing 22 is admitted into the vicinity of metering pin 52 by an air passageway 53 so that as pin 52 rises.
  • the tapered end portion uncovers the air entry passageway to admit air into conduit 16 and thence, by way of conduit 16 to a passageway 55 in the carburetor itself, which communicates with a portion of the main fuel system and, in this instance, the anti-perk well 56.
  • Air passing into antiperk well 56 then mixes with the fuel in passageway 57 so that a mixture of air and fuel are discharged by nozzle 58 into the boost venturi 60 of the carburetor.
  • the fuel of course, is supplied from a constant level fuel bowl 62 and enters the main fuel passage by way of a metering orifice 64 which is controlled in part by a metering rod 66.
  • Air is bled into the idle fuel system in a manner substantially the same as that described above with respect to the main fuel system.
  • idle fuel is drawn by a passage from the main fuel passage 57 of FIG. 5 and passes upwardly through a dip tube 71 and thence. through a restriction 72 where it is mixed with a quantity of air supplied by way of orifice 73, the resultant mixture then passes through restriction 74 where additional air can be added by way of restriction 75, thence downwardy by way of passage 77 to a cross-passage 78 which terminates in the bore of the carburetor adjacent the throttle valve.
  • FIG. 7 A final engine function that is accomplished by the compensating unit of the invention is illustrated by two different embodiments in FIG. 7.
  • two vacuum responsive devices in the form of diaphragm units.
  • One of these controls the step-up by which the carburetor is caused to provide enrichment fuel under heavy-load or wide-open throttle conditions and the other is a diaphragm motor such as can be used to control spark advance or, in some instances, the shift mechanism of an automatic transmission.
  • a diaphragm motor such as can be used to control spark advance or, in some instances, the shift mechanism of an automatic transmission.
  • any or all of these vacuum responsive units could comprise a piston instead of a diaphragm mechanism.
  • conduit 20 is attached to the carburetor by means of a tube 85 which intersects a passage 86 in the throttle flange ofthe carburetor. Passage 86 enters the bore of the throttle of the carburetor below the throttle valve 88. By means of a branch passage, conduit 86 communicates with a space 90 below the diaphragm of a diaphragm-type accelerating pump.
  • the diaphragm is shown at 91 and is attached by suitable retaining means to a stem 92 which is biased in an upwardly direction by spring 93.
  • a cavity 94 on the upper side of the diaphragm is utilized for the acceleration fuel provided by the diaphragm pump.
  • the inlet and outlet of fuel to the space 94 is not shown for convenience sake.
  • Stem 92 is provided with a carrier bar 96 which supports the metering rod 66.
  • manifold vacuum acting in space 90 pulls the diaphgragm down and this permits the pumping space 94 to fill with fuel while at the same time drawing the metering rod 66 down into the meteringjet 64 to reduce the annular clearance between the taper of the metering rod and the interior of the jet.
  • spring 93 overcomes the vacuum and causes the diaphragm to move upwardly so that fuel is discharged into the carburetor from the accelerating pump and at the same time, metering rod 66 is drawn up to provide a greater annular clearance, thus providing additional fuel to the carburetor for enrichment purposes. This is commonly referred to as step-up.
  • conduit 20 communicates with air metering means in the form of a metering rod 100 which is provided at its lowermost extremity with a reverse taper metering section.
  • rod 100 moves up and down under the influence of biasing spring 102 and carrier plate 40.
  • Adjustment screw 48 makes final calibration adjustments of the relationship of metering rod 100 with its metering orifice.
  • Air is provided from the interior of compensating unit to the metering zone by way of a passage 104.
  • Pipe 110 communicates with a vacuum motor 112 which is shown as a diaphragm unit but which might be a piston-type device.
  • Diaphragm unit 112 is provided with a diaphragm 114 biased in a direction away from the source of vacuum by a spring 116.
  • An operating arm 118 is attached to the opposite side from the biasing spring to the diaphragm. Arm 118 can be connected to any selected function, as for example, the spark advance of the ignition distributor or to the shift mechanism of an automatic transmission.
  • Each of these engine functions may be required to alter operating characteristics as the vehicle is driven into changing conditions of altitude or temperature.
  • the vacuum motor 112 which receives a controlled vacuum signal which is dependent upon the altitude and/or temperature can be made to function in a desired and programmed manner.
  • motor 112 is shown connected to the same system as the accelerator pump and step-up of the carburetor, it could be divorced from that system as would be obvious merely through the provision of a separate air metering element corresponding to element 100 and a separate source of vacuum together with a suitable connecting passage corresponding to passage 20.
  • a further difference between the four-barrel embodiment and the single barrel embodiment is that the passageways which were formerly separate conduits, such as flexible rubber tubing, now are passages formed or drilled integrally in the carburetor body and the altitude/temperature compensation unit is also mounted directly on the carburetor body.
  • FIG. 8 there is shown the base of a compensating unit 220 mounted on the body of a four-barrel carburetor 212.
  • a cover 223 is provided for covering up the operative mechanism of the compensator unit.
  • the four-barrel carburetor 212 has two primary barrels and two secondary barrels.
  • the primary barrels are each equipped with an idle fuel system and a main fuel system while the secondary barrels have only a single main fuel system each. Since each of the fuel systems can be managed by single metering pin, the unit 210 duplicates the metering capability of the compensating unit 10 of FIG. 1 with the addition ofone additional capability for the secondary fuel nozzles.
  • a passage 214 communicates at one end with the air horn of the carburetor and, thus, with the space inside the air cleaner and its other end with the interior of compensating unit 210. In this fashion, clean air is supplied for all air metering functions. This last is shown also in FIG. 10.
  • a passageway 216 which extends from the interior of unit 210 to a branch extending to each of the two main nozzle wells indicated at 256.
  • a passage 218 is branched to extend to the two idle fuel passages 277.
  • a passage 213 extends to a branching point where it separates and branches out to secondary fuel wells 215.
  • Multiple barrel carburetors are normally provided with a pair of metering rods 266 which cooperate with a metering jet similar to jet 64 of FIG. 5.
  • the metering rod 266 is controlled in part by a vacuum actuated piston 291 which receives vacuum by way of passage 286.
  • the passage 2 86 communicates with the intake manifold at a point beneath the throttle valve and communicates also with a passage 220 which terminates in the compensating unit 210 where an air metering pin controls the quantity of air that is admitted into the vacuum passage 286 to regulate the vacuum therein.
  • vacuum piston 291 can also be forced into an upward position by means of a rod 300 which is driven by a leaf 302 which in turn is driven by a cam 304 on throttle shaft 306.
  • the cam 304 will move leaf 302 upwardly to in turn move rod 300 which in turn will lift the metering pin 266 the desired amount.
  • additional fuel can be delivered to the main nozzles of the primary barrel as the throttles are opened.
  • piston 291 is allowed to rise upwardly and this in turn lifts the metering rod 266 to provide the fuel enrichment usually desired under these conditions.
  • the compensating unit 210 is quite similar to the unit 10 of FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, and contains all of the same features, although housed somewhat differently.
  • Air conduits 213, 214, 216, 218 and 220 are connected to a carburetor as shown in FIG. 8.
  • Plate 240 is hinged at 242 and carries a plurality of adjustment screws.
  • Adjustment screw 236 makes any needed corrections or adjustments to the contact with barometric and/or temperature capsule 230.
  • Adjustment screws 244, 246 and 248 are provided to position metering pins in the same fashion as screws 44, 46 and 48' of FIGS. 3 annd 4.
  • biasing adjustment screw 250 adjusts tension on a spring in the same manner as does screw 50 of FIG. 3.
  • a further metering screw 245 is provided to adjust the position of the metering pin which controls the air delivered to the secondary fuel nozzles by way of conduit 13 and, as explained earlier, this is in the same manner as the air delivered to the primary main nozzles.
  • FIGS. 8 through 19 the 200 series of numbers corresponds as nearly as possible with the below 100 series of numbers in FIGS. 1 through 7. It is believed unnecessary to give a detailed description of the various features of FIG. 8 through 19 and a brief description is believed sufficient.
  • FIG. 14 corresponds roughly to FIG. 2, with the exception that it is configured for a multibarrel carburetor.
  • FIG. 15 corresponds to FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 16 illustrates a means by which spring 251 can be adjusted by means of screw 250 and also by means of a screw 253 which adjusts the bottom end of the spring 251.
  • spring 251 can be adjusted by an external means, which, for example, could be a temperature sensor 255 in communication with an exhaust manifold 257 which by means of a thermal motor 259, can adjust an arm 261 which in turn will adjust the spring 251.
  • FIG. 11 is similar to FIG. 5, excepting that the fuel nozzle 271 is a secondary main fuel nozzle and in all other respects, the air bleed into the nozzle is similar to that of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 13 is similar to the righthand portion of FIG. 7 in that it shows a means for raising or lowering a metering rod 266 in accordance with the position of the throttle.
  • 306 is the primary throttle shaft and 304 is a cam on that shaft. The cam in turn moves a lever 302 which raises and/or lowers a rod 300 which is in direct connection with metering rod 266.
  • FIGS. 17 and 18 illustrate metering pins moved by plate 240.
  • metering pin 320 functions in the same manner as metering pin 100 of FIG. 4 to reduce the quantity of air flowing through a passage 322 which communicates with a motor such as diaphragm motor 112 of FIG. 7.
  • metering rod 280 of FIG. 18 functions much the same as metering rod of FIG. 4 to increase the amount of air bled into the fuel system when plate 240 rises under the influence of reduced barometric pressure or increased temperature and rod 280 can be adjusted as desired by screw 250 and its associated nut.
  • a capsule sensitive to barometric pressure and/or temperature can be utilized to adjust air bleeds into various operative functions of an engine to thereby control said functions as a result of changes in atmospheric pressure and/or temperature.
  • the air bleeds can be compensated in such a manner that, with increasing altitude or decreasing barometric pressure, the fuel supplied to the carburetor will be reduced in accordance with such change and other operative functions of the vehicle such as transmission shifts and/or spark advance or retard can be accomodated in such a manner as to achieve optimum operation of the engine and vehicle.
