21 Claims.
This invention relates to mixture control mechanism and more particularly to mechanismior controlling the jets in carburetors in response to changes in atmospheric pressure.
In the operation of airplanes, powered byinternal combustion engines it is necessary to adjust the air-fuel ratio in accordance with diff tity of fuel.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide means for controlling the fuel-air ratio of acombustible mixture. f
Another object is to provide automatic means for controlling the jets of a carburetor.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the specification and the accompanying drawing which show what is now considered the preferred embodiment.
Fig. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic view showing a carburetor partly in section, and show--l ing the jet control mechanism.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing another form of jet control mechanism.
' Fig. 3 is a somewhat diagrammatic view showing the connection between the control jets and the main jet.
This invention has been shown in Figs. 1 and 3 as embodied in a carburetor having a body Ill `and a discharge jet l2 located in the throat of a Venturi tube in an intake passage, not Shown. The discharge` jet is fed from a manifold it which, in turn, is fed from a plurality of control jets lt, IB, 20 and 2li. Fuel is led into the chambers above these jets by any suitable means such as conduits 26 and 2B, from the iioat chamber 30 or any other suitable source Nof fuel.
In the modification shown in Fig. 1, jet 2t always open andl 'determines the minimum amount of fuel which can be fed to the main jet under full or wide open throttle conditions. The remaining jets i6, IB, and 20 may be closed by means of needle valves 32, 34, and yBti respectively. These valves are normally held off their Each valve sage of fluid thereby and to act as a piston to force the valve to closed position.
The uid for closing the needle valves is controlled by a piston valve 42 adapted to slide in a cylinder Mi, and connect 4ports 46, 42, and 55 with either a source of fluid pressure or witha drain. Fluid pressure may be introduced through pipe' 52 and pipes 58 and 55 may be connected with a drain. This then provides a. balanced valve'for operating the needle valves so that only the frictional forces must be overcome in the operation of the Valve.
This piston valve ft2 may be operated either by manual means or by a pressure responsive device such as the bellows 82 and its cooperating mechanism, detailed operation of which is described below. By the use of the bellows 32, the operation of the jets becomes automatic and depends only upon the pressure acting upon the bellows 82 and therefore acts to close the jets as the' airplane climbs to higher altitudes and reduced pressures. Any suitable source of m'oi pressure for actuating the jets may he used, such as the pressure oiling system of an internal cornbustion engine.
In. the modication'shown in Fig. 2, a diermt form of jetvcontrol is disclosed. In this modification, fuel is fed to the manifold id through the jets 59, Bil, E52, Si, and 66', all of these iets being fed from a reservoir 68 which, in turn, is fed from the floatchamber and by the conduit 28.
Jet 66 always remains open similar tov the jet.
2t of the modification shown in Fig; I. The remaining jets may be closed by means of a piston lll sliding in the chamber 68. This piston may be manually operated or,.as shown, automatically operated Aby means oi a pressure responsive bellows 82.
'The jet control piston could be operated directly by bellows 82, but the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is preferred. The form or' automatic operating mechanism shown in Fig. 2 is substantially the same as that shown in Fig. i. This mechanism will, therefore, be described only in connection with Fig. 2; its application to the structure of Fig. 1 will, it is believed, be apparent from this description and the showing of this iigure. Referring to Fig. 2 the piston m is cocnnected by means of a bar 1I with a huid pressure actuated piston 12 mounted in a cylinder 14. The introduction of fluid into is controlled by valves-'I6 and la connected to a common actuating arm 80. Pressure is introduced into the valve chamber through a pipe l2' andthe, other-portions'of the 'valve chamber are connected'to a drain by means of the pipes 84 as will be evident from the drawing. Operation ofthe valves .toward the right, as seen in.
Fig. 2, will introduce pressure into the right hand end of cylinder 'Il and connect the left hand end thereof with the drain, thus movingl to collapse the bellows I2 and to move the lever arm toward the right as seen in Fig. 2. 'hie bellows l2 may be a sealed bellows filled with a suitable gas, such as air at sea level pressure' under normal temperature, or 'it' may lbe an evacuated bellows having a spring therein to prevent it from collapsing. By the inclusion of air or other gas in the bellows, it is made temperature responsive as well as pressure responslve. This bellows may beplace'd so as to be affected by atmospheric pressure, `or it may be Placed in the intake below the carburetor so asI to be. aiectedo ture in that in by the pressure and temperae. 'I'he term "atmospheric Pressure as used in the following claims is intended to denne pressure acting 'on the bellows under any of these conditions.
. In the operation of this device, a reduction in 'the pressure surrounding the bellows l2 or, an in; the, temperature'I affecting the bel'` lows I2 will vcause the bellows to expand and move the lever I4 toward-'the left, as seen in .Fim 2. This willcause the valves Ilyand 1l to put oil under pressurein the left hand end of chamber. M and move the piston 'l2 towards the right. This, in turn, will compress spring ists sible to obtain a fuel air ratio that win havev and thereby partially collapse bellows 82 which, in turn, will bring. the lever arm 84 and valves 16 and Il back to neutral position andthereby hold piston l2 in vits changed position so that the bellows 82 will not be required to make more .than Blight movements to actuate the piston 12 its full stroke. Movement Aof the piston 12 toward the right in response to a reduction in pressure in the bellows I2 will, of course, cause a movement of the piston 'Il toward the right and act to close oifone or more of the jets 5l, to, t2, and I4. VvBy the correct proportioning of the :lets and the jet operating mechanism, it is posbut a slight variation'for the complete temperature and pressure range of the regulating device. o
This will then provide a means which will-recuire no attention fromjthe operator, and vwill maintain the combustible mixture substantially uniform from the ground up to an altitude cor'- responding to the pressure limits of the device and Vthrough temperature ranges withiny the limits of the device.
, aitnougn this control mechanism' nos beim shown in conjunction with specific mechanism,
it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. and thatthe invention can Alie otherwise embodied and that'the drawing is Ynot.`
