Crankcase Compression With Auxiliary Pump Means Patents (Class 123/73AF)
  • Patent number: 6112709
    Abstract: A boosting mechanism of two-stroke engine, including a turbo-propeller disposed on a mandrel of an activating shaft. The turbo-propeller is positioned in front of an intake port of the combustion chamber of an engine and coupled with a crank of the piston of the engine. By means of rotating the activating shaft, the turbo-propeller is rotated along the activating shaft. Also, the turbo-propeller is synchronously operated with the piston to sweep mixed gas into the combustion chamber so as to maintain a proper oil-gas ratio and increase gas pressure and enhance combustion efficiency and power of the engine.

  • Patent number: 5345897
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gas-exchanging process for two-stroke internal combustion engines, and a two-stroke internal combustion engine for executing the process, in which two scavenging paths of the gas are provided, namely the known reverse scavenging as the first scavenging path, and a second supply of combustion air effected by precompression serving as the second scavenging path, wherein during the second scavenging an ignitable fuel-air mixture forms in the area of the point of ignition and, by means of the differential pressure established at the intake valve, controls the mixture as well as the quantity itself.

  • Patent number: 4480597
    Abstract: A two-stroke cycle gasoline engine, comprising a power cylinder-piston assembly having a scavenging port configuration including a first scavenging port configuration first uncovered by the power piston as it moves along the power cylinder from its top dead center to its bottom dead center and a second scavenging port configuration uncovered by the power piston as it moves from its top dead center to its bottom dead center immediately after said power piston has completed uncovering the first scavenging port configuration, wherein the general rate relative to piston position in the power cylinder of uncovering of the area of the first scavenging port configuration is substantially lower than that of the second scavenging port configuration, so that the idling and low-load performance of the engine is substantially improved by improving scavenging.

  • Patent number: 4430967
    Abstract: The invention engine comprises a compressor with a rotary piston in a cylinder bore in a stator and a U-shaped box-like combustion-expansion compartment, conveniently called a U-box, immediately above and riding on the rotary piston, the U-box and the compressor unit contained between the same parallel end walls. The rotary piston is eccentrically mounted on a shaft which is concentric with the cylinder bore and is supported in bearings in the end walls. A wiper blade is fitted in a groove across the piston head to yieldably sweep the cylinder bore to generate a suction stroke behind it, drawing in air via a one-way inlet port in the perimeter of the cylinder, and a compression stroke ahead of it to compress the air drawn in during the preceding suction stroke. The U-box is in the shape of a rectangular plate bent upward at two places to form two parallel vertical sides of equal height and a base plate between them.

  • Patent number: 4362132
    Abstract: A two-cycle engine is disclosed which conventionally includes a piston that reciprocates between a closed combustion chamber and crankcase. The piston reciprocates through a connecting rod that is eccentrically connected to the crank discs of a crankshaft. The crankcase is partially circular in configuration, and the crankdiscs conform in shape to the crankcase. Each crank disc has an annular recess or pocket extending around its periphery for approximately 180.degree. and in opposition to the eccentric point of connection of the connecting rod. The pockets cyclically communicate with a fuel inlet port and carburetor, both of which are positioned below the crankshaft rotational axis on the downstroke side of the crankcase. Fuel transfer passages between the crankcase and combustion chamber are positioned to receive the fuel charge from each recess as it is thrown tangentially upward with rotation of the crank discs.

  • Patent number: 4289094
    Abstract: A two-stroke cycle gasoline engine having a first scavenging port which is supplied with fuel-air mixture through a mixture passage, and a second scavenging port which is supplied with air, wherein supply of fuel-air mixture through the mixture passage is substantially throttled while supply of air through the second scavenging port is interrupted, so as to perform stratified scavenging, when the engine is operating at low load, while in medium to high load operation the throttling of the mixture passage is released while air is injected through said second scavenging port, so as to generate swirling of mixture charged in the cylinder chamber.

  • Patent number: 4276858
    Abstract: A two-cycle internal combustion engine includes a power cylinder, a drive piston being positioned therein. A first transfer duct extends between an auxiliary cylinder, which is supplied with carburetted air and the power cylinder and opens thereinto via a carburetted air inlet port provided on the side wall of the power cylinder or its combustion chamber. A pump crankcase, which is supplied with pure air, is connected to the power cylinder via a second transfer duct which opens thereinto via a scavenging inlet port on the side wall of the power cylinder. An exhaust port is provided on the side wall of the power cylinder. The ports are operatively arranged so that the scavenging port starts to open after the exhaust port and before the carburetted air inlet port.
