Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection type carburetor for multi-cylinder internal combustion engines includes: a throttle body having a throttle bore extending substantially vertically and being connected at the bottom portion thereof to a collecting portion of an intake manifold extending substantially horizontally; a throttle valve arranged in the throttle bore, a linear injection type fuel injection valve having a fuel injection nozzle arranged in the throttle bore in an area downstream area of the throttle valve and inclined toward the downstream direction; and an atomization promoting device arranged at a position opposite to the fuel injection nozzle so as to face the nozzle. The atomization promoting device is, for instance, a high frequency oscillator or a so-called PTC heater.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A fuel injection type carburetor for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine comprising: an intake passage for delivering a combustible mixture to the cylinders, said passage including a throttle body having a throttle bore extending substantially vertically upward from a bottom portion thereof, said bottom portion being connected to a collecting portion of an intake manifold extending substantially horizontally from the collecting portion to the cylinders; a throttle valve arranged in said throttle bore; a linear injection type fuel injection valve having a fuel injection nozzle arranged on one side of the said throttle bore at a location downstream of said throttle valve and inclined toward an area on the opposite side of the throttle bore downstream from said injector location; and an atomization promoting means forming part of the inner wall of said throttle bore and arranged at said area opposite to said fuel injection nozzle so as to face said nozzle, said atomization promoting means being a PTC heater which is heated when the temperature of the surrounding environment is low.
