摘要:
A transmissible connecting mechanism having a cam plate and a lever are attached respectively to a lead air control valve shaft and an air-fuel mixture throttle valve shaft which are arranged so as to form an angle. A length of a contact element provided in the lever is extended in parallel to an axis of the air-fuel mixture throttle valve shaft, and the length of the contact element is such that the contact element and a cam surface formed in a cam plate are always brought into contact with each other. The lead air control valve shaft and the air-fuel mixture throttle valve shaft of the carburetor are connected in a transmissible manner, and it is possible to make a stratified scavenging two-cycle engine compact.
摘要:
A combustible mixture of air and minute fuel droplets is produced for supply to the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. This mixture is formed by accurately controlling both the atomization of fuel and the mass flow rate of air over substantially the entire operating range of the engine. These controls are accomplished by introducing liquid fuel into a stream of intake air and uniformly distributing the fuel in the air followed by passing the air and fuel mixture through a constricted zone to increase the velocity of the mixture to sonic. The sonic velocity air at the constricted zone divides the fuel into minute droplets that are uniformly entrained throughout the air stream. The area of the constricted zone and the quantity of fuel introduced are adjustably varied in correlation with operating demands imposed upon the engine. Downstream from the constricted sonic zone, the air and fuel mixture is accelerated to supersonic velocity in a supersonic zone without imparting substantial turbulent flow thereto. Thereafter the mixture is decelerated to subsonic velocity in a subsonic zone to produce a shock zone where the fuel droplets entrained in the air are believed to be further subdivided and uniformly distributed throughout the combustible mixture before the mixture is supplied to the engine cylinders. The supersonic and subsonic velocities occur in a gradually increasing cross-sectional area corresponding to that of a conical section having an apex angle in the range of about 6* to 18*. Operation of the engine with such a combustible mixture results in substantially reduced levels of undesirable exhaust emissions, and also permits operation of high compression ratio engines on relatively low octane fuel with good power and fuel economy characteristics. Additionally, misfire does not occur even when the engine is operated on relatively lean air-fuel ratios.
