  • Patent number: 5533483
    Abstract: An engine air intake system comprises a main air duct and at least one bypass air duct, which are located side by side. The bypass air duct is smaller in cross-sectional area than the main air duct which is provided with a throttle contiguous to the bypass air duct having therein a control valve. The throttle and the control valve are regulated by a link mechanism such that the throttle is closed when the engine is operating at a low or intermediate load rate, and that the control valve is opened partially when the throttle remains closed, thereby resulting in an acceleration of air current flowing through the bypass air duct and an improvement in the tumble or swirl ratio. As the engine is operating at a progressively increasing load rate, the throttle is caused to open gradually to bring about an increase in the engine air intake volume so as to enable the engine to operate under the optimum condition.

  • Patent number: 5116020
    Abstract: An electromagnetic diaphragm-type valve has a leakage preventing convex ring and is particularly applicable to air-aided fuel injection system. The valve includes an external housing made of a magnetic-inductive material, an electromagnetic coil set installed inside the rear part of external housing, a magnetic-inductive stator fitted to the central holding site of electromagnetic coil set, and a valve stem installed in the front part of external housing. The valve stem circumference is integrated with a deflectable rubber diaphragm so as not only to enable the valve stem to move a minor distance but also to enable the valve stem to be located in a right or left position. In addition, the diaphragm isolates an air chamber from parts defining the ranges of guidance and lift of valve stem, hence the motion of valve stem is not affected by entrance of pollutants. The diaphragm is formed to seal in compresed air in the air chamber.

  • Patent number: 5080060
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel injection system driven by compressor. The system is used in two-stroke gasoline engine, wherein high speed air flow is applied to assist in fuel atomization and injection. The system works in such a manner that a fuel pump and fuel pressure regulating valve establish stable fuel injection pressure and fuel is injected under this stable pressure by a main fuel injector and a sub-fuel injector. The fuel is not directly injected into the cylinder, but blown into main combustion chamber of the cylinder and pre-combustion chamber of a torch-forming plug by little amount of high speed air flow supplied from a small compressor synchroinzed with the engine in operation, the high speed air flow being distributed by a distributor to flow into air passages of the main fuel injector and sub-fuel injector for blowing the injected fuel.

  • Patent number: 5054691
    Abstract: A solenoid-operated injector for an electronically controlled fuel oil injection system which serves to control fuel oil injection by means of a shift of a ball valve unit. The ball valve unit includes a flat armature and a ball valve, the flat armature is shifted, floatingly, without any guidance. As the ball valve unit is sucked and moved to an open state, the flat armature abuts against a thin plate having a high magnetic resistance. The top of the flat armature is acted upon by a compressed spring with the top end of the compressed spring abutting against a spring regulating tube, so that the spring force acting on the flat armature can be changed by adjusting the spring regulating tube. Both the compressed spring and ball valve are located in the magnetic stator of the solenoid coil with the flat armature and the ball valve being located such that the spring force normally biases the ball valve against the oblique cone concave on the top of the valve seat.

  • Patent number: 4852854
    Abstract: An electromagnetic permeable-shell-free diaphragm valve comprising a shell, a coil, a stator, a magnetic flux permeable block, a spring seat, an adjusting block, a valve stem, a diaphragm, a coil spring, and a valve seat. The diaphragm of the valve isolates the slide portion of the stem from the liquid, so that the reciprocating motions of the valve stem will not be impeded when the liquid is dehydrated. Furthermore, it is not necessary to install a permeable shell, so that the manufacturing cost is lower than that of the conventional valve, and the efficiency of the heat dissipation will be improved, particularly at high-frequency operation, since the coil is directly disposed outside the shell of the valve.
