  • Publication number: 20220065198
    Abstract: To provide a fuel injection nozzle that not only enables adjustment of a flow rate, but also causes contaminants and gum to pass through to reduce an effect on the flow rate. A fuel injection nozzle having a flat portion on an outer peripheral face of a needle is disclosed. The fuel injection nozzle opens at a predetermined angle, and, by the needle moving in an axial direction in an inner periphery of an injection hole, gaps are formed between the outer peripheral face of the needle and an inner peripheral face of the injection hole of a nozzle body. Adjustment to a desired fuel injection flow rate is possible by setting an outer diameter of the needle, a distance from the seat portion to a starting position of the flat portion on the outer peripheral face of the needle, and an incline angle of the flat portion.

  • Publication number: 20210332776
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rotary vaporizer that solves the problem caused by a conventional throttle valve becoming cantilevered when the throttle wire is pulled. The rotary vaporizer includes: a valve shaft; a measuring needle disposed within the valve shaft; a throttle valve having a lumen to receive the valve shaft; and a support pin having a conical distal end having a predetermined angle. The conical distal end is configured to move axially move the throttle valve by gliding on an angled surface of the throttle valve, and the angled surface is parallel to a surface of the conical distal end.

  • Publication number: 20200325853
    Abstract: Disclosed are example embodiments of a diaphragm carburetor. Example embodiments includes: a pressure regulator; a fuel chamber for storing fuel to be introduced into an intake channel; a diaphragm; an atmospheric-pressure chamber partitioned by the diaphragm 100; a fuel supply channel that feeds the fuel, a return channel that is connected to the fuel supply channel and returns excess fuel that is not introduced into the fuel chamber to a fuel-tank side. The fuel is supplied into the intake channel while being adjusted to a predetermined pressure by the pressure regulator. The diaphragm carburetor also includes an opening and closing mechanism that opens at engine startup to allow the fuel to pass through and closes during normal driving to prevent the fuel from passing through.

  • Patent number: 10669972
    Abstract: A carburetor includes a body with an air intake path, a fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator and having a main fuel jet and nozzle assembly with a main fuel jet releasably coupled to the body of the carburetor. Alternatively, a main fuel jet and nozzle assembly includes a nozzle and check valve retainer formed as a single component. In other embodiments, a carburetor is provided having a fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator positioned on the same side of the body. A fuel pump and metering chamber diaphragm sandwiched between the body of the carburetor and a pump body and cover, separates a pump chamber from a pulse chamber of the fuel pump and separates a fuel chamber from an air chamber in the fuel pressure regulator.
