Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a device for facilitating exhaust action of an internal combustion engine being used as a power-transmitting source of a vehicle, using a depression phenomenon resulted from induction and acceleration of air resistance due to forward movement of the vehicle (motor cars, vessels, airplanes or the like), thereby an output and a combustion efficiency of the internal combustion engine. To overcome problems of the forced exhaust method in the conventional internal combustion engine and improve the output and the combustion efficiency of the internal combustion engine, the present invention provides a device for facilitating exhaust action of the internal combustion engine comprising a guided flow depression device and a forced exhaust device, wherein combustion gases are exhausted by working fluids when the vehicle moves at a constant speed or more, and are exhausted by the forced exhaust device with the motor when the vehicle moves at a constant speed or less.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A device for facilitating exhaust action of an internal combustion engine including: a silencer (100); an exhaust pipe (101, 102, 103); and a guided flow depression device (4) comprising a diverging pipe (1) with a divergent side thereof and disposed at one side of said exhaust pipe (101), a reduced diverging exhaust passage (12) formed within said diverging pipe (1), a gas lead (2) tapered from the center thereof to the front and rear thereof to form the reduced diverging exhaust passage (12), a supporting plate (11) used to weld the edge of the center of said gas lead (2) to the end portion of said diverging pipe (1), an air guide (3) for guiding air according to the movement of a vehicle, fixed by said supporting plate (11) and having an opening which is larger than the outer diameter of said diverging pipe (1) and the rear portion of the air guide is smaller than the front portion thereof and a converging air passage (13) formed between said opening of said air guide (3) and said end portion of said diverging pipe (1).
Claim 2
Independent Claim
184 words
A device for facilitating exhaust action of an internal combustion engine including: a silencer (100); an exhaust pipe (101, 102, 103); and a guided flow depression device (4) comprising a diverging pipe (1) with a divergent side thereof and disposed at one side of said exhaust pipe (101), a reduced diverging exhaust passage (12) formed within said diverging pipe (1), a gas lead (2) tapered from the center thereof to the front and rear thereof to form the reduced diverging exhaust passage (12), a supporting plate (11) used to weld the edge of the center of said gas lead (2) to the end portion of said diverging pipe (1), an air guide (3) for guiding air according to the movement of a vehicle, fixed by said supporting plate (11) and having an opening which is larger than the outer diameter of said diverging pipe (1) and the rear portion of the air guide is smaller than the front portion thereof and a converging air passage (13) formed between said opening of said air guide (3) and said end portion of said diverging pipe (1).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
The device as recited in claim 1, further including a forced exhaust device(7) comprising a housing(6) having an exhaust valve(5) opened and closed at another exhaust pipe(102) according to the speed of said vehicle, a DC motor(M) operated at the opening and closing of said exhaust valve(5), a fan 61 being rotated by said DC motor(M), and a gas outlet(62) formed at the outside of said fan(61) and exhausting gases therefrom by rotating said fan(61).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The device as recited in claim 1, wherein said guided flow depression device(4) is connected with an elbow pipe(8) coupled to the end portion of said exhaust pipe(103) and is rotated in proportion to the movement of said vehicle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The device as recited in claim 1 or 3, wherein said guided flow depression device 4 has a fan(31) for flowing and rotating air, which is bearing-coupled to the inside of said opening of said air guide 3.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
112 words
The device as recited in claim 1, further including another forced exhaust device comprising a pipe (9) connected to the back side of said diverging pipe (1) in the form of a straight line, a largely opened gas guide (91) formed at the front side of said pipe (9), a fan motor (93) attached to a motor housing (94), supportably installed by supports (95) and having a fan (92) operated at a constant speed or less, a slanted exhaust pipe (96) having an expanded portion (97) formed at a position which is connected with said pipe (9), and a horizontal baffle (10) mounted between said pipe (9) and said expanded portion (97).
