Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively use a space so as to make an engine compact by arranging an air pump in the lower space of an inclined cylinder in the internal combustion engine where a three-way catalyst is arranged from an inclined cylinder to an exhaust passage and secondary air is forcibly supplied to this three-way catalyst by the air pump. SOLUTION: For an inclined cylinder 2 inclined right from a vertical line, a piston 18 is fitted in a cylinder block and an engine valve 22 is opened/closed by the rotation of a camshaft 25 associated with the rotation of a crankshaft 15 via gears 23 and 24 and by a valve system 20. An air pump 3 for supplying secondary air is arranged in the lower space of this inclined cylinder 2. This air pump 3 also uses the camshaft 25 as a driving source and has a pump shaft 43 reciprocated by the rotation of the camshaft 25 via a pump locker arm 42 and, by increasing/decreasing the capacity of a pump room 35 by a diaphragm 33, air sucked from a suction valve 40 is supplied to a three-way catalyst.

2. Description of the Related Art Among exhaust gas treatment techniques for general-purpose internal combustion engines, there is a technique for introducing secondary air into a three-way catalyst installed in an exhaust passage to increase the oxidation efficiency of pollutants in exhaust gas. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-113119 discloses a “general-purpose internal combustion engine with a secondary air supply device”.

[0003] This technique, as shown in FIG.
An exhaust pipe 7 for discharging exhaust gas from the combustion chamber, a muffler 6 having an exhaust gas purifying function, and a tail pipe 21 extending from the muffler 6 are provided. The tail pipe 21 is made sufficiently longer than the exhaust pipe 7. Thus, a high pulsation effect is exhibited, and the oxidation reaction is promoted by the backflowing air.

However, it is not preferable to mount the long tail pipe 21 in a general-purpose internal combustion engine that requires a compact one. In addition, since the length of the tail pipe 21 is determined so as to cause the maximum pulsation at the rated rotation speed, high exhaust gas purification efficiency is not always obtained in a general-purpose internal combustion engine having a wide range of rotation speed. The average value is low. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a general-purpose internal combustion engine that is compact and can supply a sufficient amount of secondary air over a wide range of rotation speed.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an inclined cylinder having a cylinder axis inclined with respect to a vertical line, and a three-way catalyst disposed in an exhaust passage from the cylinder. In a general-purpose internal combustion engine in which exhaust gas is purified by forcibly supplying secondary air to the three-way catalyst with an air pump, the air pump is disposed in a space below the inclined cylinder. Since the air pump is disposed in the empty space below the tilt cylinder, the space below the tilt cylinder can be effectively utilized and the size can be reduced. Further, since the secondary air is supplied by the air pump, a sufficient amount of air can be supplied over a wide range of rotation speed.
