摘要:
A carburettor for a two stroke engine includes a flow duct including rich and lean flow passages (160, 150) in parallel, through which, in use, air flows in a flow direction and which are separated by substantially planar partition (130). At least one fuel jet (5) communicates with the rich passage (160) and the partition includes an aperture (140) towards which the fuel jet is directed. A substantially planar butterfly valve (120) is received in the aperture so as to be pivotable between a first position, in which the flow duct is substantially closed and the aperture is substantially open, and a second position, in which the flow duct is substantially open and the aperture is substantially closed. The upstream half of the aperture (140) is defined by upstream semi-annular seating ledge (148) affording an upstream seating surface (151), which is engaged by one of the surfaces of the butterfly valve (120), when it is in the second position, and a first end surface (153), which extends between the upstream seating surface and that surface of the partition which is directed towards the lean passage. The downstream half of the aperture (140) is defined by a downstream semi annular seating ledge (149) affording a downstream seating surface (151), which is engaged by the upper surface of the butterfly valve, when it is in the second position, and a second end surface (161), which extends between the downstream seating surface and that surface of the partition which is directed towards the rich passage. At least one of the upstream semi annular seating ledge, the downstream semi-annular seating and the valve are so shaped that, in use, a pressure differential is created between the rich and lean passages at the upstream and/or downstream edges of the valve, the pressure in the lean passage being higher than that in the rich passage.

A reciprocating piston engine (2) includes an exhaust system comprising an exhaust pipe (8) which communicates with a silencer (10), whose upstream portion (11) is divergent in the direction of gas flow through it, an oxidising catalyst (12) and an air supply pipe (14) communicating with the exhaust pipe at a position upstream of the catalyst and silencer. The air supply pipe (14) includes a Reed valve (16) which is adapted to open under a pressure differential to permit air to flow into the exhaust pipe. In order to maximise the air flow into the exhaust pipe the effect of pressure pulses within the exhaust pipe is utilised and for this purpose 3L2−(2L1+L2) is equal to ±0.25 to 0.5 m, wherein is the distance from the junction of the exhaust pipe (8) measured from a first intersection point at which the axes of the exhaust pipe (8) and the air supply pipe (14) intersect, to a point midway along the length in the flow direction of the said upstream portion (11) of the silencer (10) and L2 is the length of the air supply pipe (14) from the Reed valve (16) to the said first intersection point.

A carburettor includes a primary air passage (19), an adjustable throttle valve (8) situated within the primary air passage, a fuel supply nozzle (28) communicating with the primary air passage and connected to a fuel metering valve for varying the amount of fuel discharged through the nozzle. The fuel metering valve includes an elongate sleeve (32) movably accommodating an elongate valve member (33). The sleeve and valve member define a fuel inlet space (35). A fuel inlet (37) communicates with the fuel inlet space. A fuel outlet (39) passes through the wall of the sleeve (32) and communicates with the fuel supply nozzle (28). A portion of the outer surface of the valve member (33) is so profiled that the valve member (33) is movable relative to the sleeve (32) such that the area of communication between the fuel inlet space (35) and the outlet (39) varies progressively between a maximum and a minimum value.

A carburettor including a primary air passage, an adjustable throttle valve situated within the primary air passage, a fuel supply nozzle communicating with the primary air passage and connected to a fuel metering valve for varying the amount of fuel discharged through the nozzle and a rotary input shaft adapted to be connected to an engine speed control member and which is connected to the throttle valve to move the throttle valve between open and closed positions. The rotary input shaft is also connected to a carriage to move the carriage, the carriage carrying at least one elongate inclined ramp which extends in the direction of movement of the carriage and which is engaged by a follower connected to the valve member. Rotation of the input shaft results in movement of the throttle valve and in movement of the carriage and thus of the elongate ramp, wherein the follower is moved transverse to the length of the ramp and the valve member of the fuel metering valve is thus also moved.

A crankcase scavenged two-stroke engine includes a piston reciprocably mounted in a cylinder. The cylinder wall has an exhaust port and a rear transfer port opposed thereto formed in it. The rear transfer port communicates with the interior of the crankcase via a rear transfer passage and is arranged to open before the exhaust port closes, whereby, in use, the cylinder is scavenged. An inlet duct is arranged to supply combustion air to the crankcase and a throttling valve is arranged to throttle the flow of air through the inlet duct. A carburettor is arranged to supply fuel into the inlet duct. The interior of the crankcase is divided into at least two separate crankcase volumes, a rich volume (V1, V2) and a lean volume (V3). Each crankcase volume communicates with the cylinder via a respective hole in the crankcase wall. The cylinder wall also has at least one lateral transfer port formed in it at a position between the rear transfer port and the exhaust port. The lateral transfer port is arranged to open before the exhaust port closes. The lateral transfer port communicates with the lean volume (V3) via a lateral transfer passage. The rear transfer port communicates with the rich volume (V1, V2). The inlet duct is divided over at least part of its length into at least two inlet passages, a rich passage and a lean passage, which communicate with the rich volume (V1, V2) and the lean volume (V3), respectively. The carburettor and/or the throttle valve are so constructed and arranged that, under high load operation, substantially all the fuel supplied by the carburettor is introduced into the rich passage and, under low load operation, the fuel supplied by the carburettor is introduced into both the rich and lean passages.

A protrusion (180) is disposed adjacent the second end surface on the surface partition which is directed towards the lean passage. The protrusion has an upstream face which is positioned such that, in use in the second position of the valve, a stagnation pressure is generated on it.

摘要:
A carburettor for a two-stroke engine includes a substantially circular section flow duct comprising rich (42) and lean (44) flow passages in parallel, through which, in use, air flows in a flow direction and which are separated by a substantially planar partition (66). At least one fuel jet (60, 61, 62) communicates with the rich passage (42) and the partition (66) includes an aperture (68) towards which the fuel jet is directed. A substantially planar butterfly valve (20) is received in the aperture (68) so as to be pivotable between a first position, in which the flow duct is substantially closed, and a second position, in which the flow duct is substantially open. The butterfly valve (20) is carried by a pivotal shaft (2) mounted to pivot about an axis which extends through the flow duct substantially diametrically. The butterfly valve (20) is connected to the pivotal shaft (2) such that, when it is in the second position, its plane is parallel to the diametral plane in which the said axis lies but is offset from it in a direction towards the rich passage. The plane of the planar partition (66) is also parallel to the said diametral plane but offset from it in a direction towards the rich passage. The cross-sectional area of the lean flow passage is therefore greater than that of the rich flow passage.
