Abstract

Abstract A fuel injection apparatus has a negative pressure chamber connected to a suction pipe behind a throttle valve for regulating the amount of fuel injected into the engine. In order to compensate for temperature and pressure variations of the ambient atmosphere and maintain the fuel-air ratio at an optimum value, a selected amount of ambient air is mixed with the suction air to control the magnitude of the negative pressure in the chamber. The amount of air is regulated by a valve controlled by a temperature sensitive member or a pressure sensitive member or both.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 243 words
In an injection fuel compensation apparatus in a fuel injection type internal combustion engine wherein a suction pipe has an interior behind a throttle valve connected to a negative pressure chamber of a fuel injection apparatus via a pipe, an improvement comprising means providing communication between ambient atmosphere and the negative pressure chamber of the fuel injection apparatus, valve means for controlling flow of air from the ambient atmosphere to said negative pressure chamber, and means acting on said valve means in response to the pressure and temperature of the air flowing to said negative pressure chamber from the ambient atmosphere to regulate the flow of said air, the latter said means comprising a pressure sensitive member and a temperature sensitive member, said valve means comprising a displaceable valve member, and a slidable frame carrying the valve member, means connecting one of the sensitive members to the valve member for displacing the valve member with respect to the frame, means connecting the other sensitive member to the frame for displacing the frame and valve member therewith, a housing containing the valve means and the temperature and pressure sensitive members, said means which provides communication between the ambient atmosphere and the negative pressure comprising an inlet in the housing connected to ambient atmosphere, said valve member being insErted in said inlet to control flow from the ambient atmosphere into said housing, and an outlet conduit leading from the housing to the negative pressure chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 243 words
In an injection fuel compensation apparatus in a fuel injection type internal combustion engine wherein a suction pipe has an interior behind a throttle valve connected to a negative pressure chamber of a fuel injection apparatus via a pipe, an improvement comprising means providing communication between ambient atmosphere and the negative pressure chamber of the fuel injection apparatus, valve means for controlling flow of air from the ambient atmosphere to said negative pressure chamber, and means acting on said valve means in response to the pressure and temperature of the air flowing to said negative pressure chamber from the ambient atmosphere to regulate the flow of said air, the latter said means comprising a pressure sensitive member and a temperature sensitive member, said valve means comprising a displaceable valve member, and a slidable frame carrying the valve member, means connecting one of the sensitive members to the valve member for displacing the valve member with respect to the frame, means connecting the other sensitive member to the frame for displacing the frame and valve member therewith, a housing containing the valve means and the temperature and pressure sensitive members, said means which provides communication between the ambient atmosphere and the negative pressure comprising an inlet in the housing connected to ambient atmosphere, said valve member being insErted in said inlet to control flow from the ambient atmosphere into said housing, and an outlet conduit leading from the housing to the negative pressure chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the temperature sensitive element comprises a bimetallic element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 2 wherein said other sensitive member is the bimetallic element and the means connecting the bimetallic element and the frame comprises a rack and gear assembly.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said pressure sensitive member comprises a bellows coupled to the valve member to displace the same directly.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 4 wherein said one sensitive member is the bellows and the means connecting the bellows and the valve member comprises a rigid connection between said bellows and valve member.
