Description:
AN AIR SUPPLY DEVICE

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a combustion chamber air supply device used in internalcombustion motor vehicles which provides the use of oxygen as needed at the preferred speed and power by reducing the pressure of the air sent to the combustion chamber.

Prior Art

Important developments have been provided in internal combustion engines since the day they were first released to the market. Basically, liquid or gas fuels such as gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, LPG and LNC are used in internal combustion engines divided in two in terms of the operation system as diesel or gasoline engine. While, in diesel engines, power is obtained by injecting diesel fuel into the compressed air, power is obtained by firing the compressed fuel and air mixture with spark plugs in gasoline engines. In both systems, power and efficiency depend on the fuel quality and the amount of oxygen in the air transferred to the combustion chamber, also with the mechanical design. Within this scope, important technical improvements in increasing or adjusting the amount of oxygen in the air transferred to the combustion chamber so as to increase the combustion quality of the fuel transferred to the combustion chamber in electronic, mechanical or hydraulic automatic control systems to increase combustion efficiency in the mechanical design of the engine in the improvement of efficiency, power and fuel economy of internal combustion engines.

Fuel and air requirement of every internal combustion engine are provided by the injection system and the activation of the carburetor. When the fuel is sent to the engine by the gasoline pump in the vehicle, the carburetor gets the air near the engine by means of the air filter. Each engine needs an air filter. The position of the air filter is to keep the aspirated air away from dust and contaminants, for this purpose the air filter is located at the air inlet to the engine.

Currently, the method of obtaining high-pressure air from the outside with the air pumps or fans by using the kinetic energy of the gas coming out of the exhaust so as to increase the combustion efficiency and engine power and sending this to the engine is used. The systems called turbocharger, super charger, cooled turbo charger, etc. have been developed in the market according to this basic principle. In these systems, the object is to increase the amount of air and therefore the oxygen to perform the combustion process with the fuel. Applying these systems to internal combustion engines enables an important efficiency and power increase. In this case, there is a need for a combustion chamber air supply device used in internal-combustion motor vehicles providing the use of oxygen as needed at the preferred speed and power by reducing the pressure of the air sent to the engine.

One of the documents of the prior art related to the invention is a utility model document numbered TR No 2017/03882 with the title air supply device invention operating with vacuum power in all motor vehicles. In this document, a vacuum air handler device forming balance by enabling enough air to be supplied to the engine when necessary by hosting air in a vacuum environment connected to the engine with the inlet pipe from the engine inlet is disclosed. This vacuum air handler device enables the oxygen to be used for combustion only as needed by connecting to the engine with the inlet pipe preferably made of silicone or rubber material, by reducing the pressure of the air sent to the engine, by performing a negative vacuum. However, the air coming from the filtration is transferred to the air storage area without being accelerated and cooled with the air supply device disclosed in the document No TR 2017/03882. In this device, while the vehicle is in motion, the air in the line heats more than desired.

In the air supply device of our invention, air suction is started from our device as the pistons start to suction as soon as the engine starts to run. In this device, the air flow rate is accelerated with the air conditioner after filtration. The air conditioner part is transferred to the air balancer after cooling and accelerating the air passing through it since it is conical and grooved. In the air balancer, the air becomes narrow and thin.

In our inventive device, the reason why the air particles are thinned with the air conditioner can be explained as follows. The vacuum generator in our device enables the storage area to be filled with a large amount of air and forms a negative vacuum, and it provides the significant amount of air required for the engine from here. Here, air prevents the engine from taking more air than it needs by passing through the second vacuum generator in a controlled way by resisting the motor suction during the passage. The thinned and thickened air in the connection pipe continues towards the conical and grooved air conditioner, and after the first stage, before it reaches the pistons, the heated air in the engine hood is cooled and accelerated.

In cases that whether our inventive device is attached to the vehicles or not, surprising results have been obtained in the emission measurement performed in the vehicles. In the vehicles where our device was not used, while the average result of 0.56 was obtained as the emission measurement, this average emission rate was 0.11 when our device was installed. When these rates are taken into account, it is seen that there is a decrease of around 80% in the emission. This decrease in the emission rate is an indication showing how high the combustion efficiency of our device has been reached, the damage caused by internal combustion engine vehicles to the environment has been reduced to almost “zero”, and it has been lowered below the latest Euro6 engine exhaust emission levels. A highly efficient transition line is provided from the vacuum generator by accelerating and cooling the air with our inventive device.

The inventive air supply device is used in internal combustion motor vehicles. Said air supply device providing the use of oxygen as needed at the preferred speed and power by reducing the pressure of the air sent to the engine. There is a body and a connection pipe that provides the connection of the body to the engine in the inventive air supply device in the invention. There is a conical grooved air accelerator and cooler in said body and in the connection pipe. Said conical grooved air accelerator and cooler perform acceleration and cooling of the air with the rotation effect by passing through the filtered air. Then the accelerated and cooled air is passed through the air balancer and passed through the vacuum generator. The vacuum generator provides the control of the air flow in such a way that it resists the engine suction at a certain rate. Therefore, the inventive air supply device provides an increase in the emission and fuel efficiency.

Objects of the Invention

The object of this invention is to form a low-pressure (vacuum) environment in vehicles before the air is sent to the combustion chamber, and to perform an air supply device enabling the combustion efficiency and power of the engine to be increased by transferring the low pressured and accelerated cooled air from here to the combustion chamber of the engine.

Another object of our invention is to perform an air supply device providing fuel saving in diesel or gasoline engines (LPG, LNG) by increasing combustion efficiency and power by sending the low pressured and accelerated air to the engine.

Another object of our invention is to perform an air supply device providing the power that it needs without any need to additional systems or installations such as turbocharger, supercharger, etc. so as to obtain a high pressure and intense air volume.

Our inventive air supply device becomes more efficient at upper revolutions. After about 2000 revolutions, the vehicle can move more lively. The combustion efficiency of the vehicle is increased, the combustion efficiency is maximized with formed cold negative vacuum; the driver of the vehicle the driver of the vehicle starts to use the early power that he/she gains by taking an early response from the accelerator pedal, especially at all speeds from the start up to 2000 revolutions; the shifts can be performed smoothly and with knockless to 2000 revolutions with our inventive air supply device. While the lower revolutions that have been dead until today are revived, the power gained above 2000 revolutions provides up to 2000 revolutions and extends the mechanical life of the vehicle with our inventive air supply device.

Systems such as turbocharger and supercharger compress the pistons by using the compressed air and form the mechanical compulsion. During this mechanical compulsion, the engine sound of the vehicle increases. This mechanical compulsion shortens the mechanical endurances of the vehicles and incurs expenses to the vehicle owners. The vehicle engine is relieved, and -2db, -3db decreases are provided in the engine sound emission values at the same speeds with our inventive device. The decrease in the engine sound emission values is a proof that the engine is relieved. Moreover, it is also known that the exhaust emissions of the vehicles having devices for increasing the present power are high. Our inventive device is also applied to the vehicles having systems such as turbocharger and supercharger, and provides serious reductions in the exhaust emissions of these vehicles.

Another object of our invention is to perform an air supply device creating air and oxygen balancedly required for the combustion by only forming a vacuumed air environment before the engine inlet.

Another object of our invention is to perform an air supply device providing desired power increase and fuel saving without any need to complex and expensive additional connections by creating air and oxygen balancedly required for the combustion.

Another object of the invention is to perform an air supply device that enables the air to be cooled balancedly and to be accelerated by being rotated by means of the accelerator and the cooler that are located on the connection pipe and within the body.

Since our inventive device accelerates the air by rotating, the combustion efficiency is increased by providing the circulation of the air surface, by providing a complete contact of the fuel and air in the piston. The movable parts under pressure are damaged since it is discharged as raw fuel from the exhaust or there is equipment such as egr, diesel particulate filter, catalyst, without providing a complete contact with the fuel in the systems operating with a high pressure such as turbocharger, super charger. This causes serious damage to our environment and nature. Our inventive device prevents the blockage of such equipment by presenting the air ratio as needed by the engine with negative vacuum pressure at lower speeds. Our inventive device reduces the soot risk and provides a healthier operation of the operating parts in the vehicle.

Our inventive device provides a controlled power by controlling the air transferred to the combustion chamber. The driver, who reaches this power early, can increase his/her speed by pressing the accelerator pedal at the first level where the engine produces power. For example, the rate of stepping 10 units on the gas enables the driver to accelerate to any speed by stepping only 3 units on the gas. This provides the driver a more qualified and more careful driving comfort.

Another object of this invention is to provide that a vehicle having an internal combustion engine can be integrated into the internal combustion engines during its new production as well as it can be integrated into the engines of the existing vehicles.

Another object of this invention is to perform an air supply device that can be mounted without great labor and material costs.

Brief Description of the Invention

We have an air supply device defined in the first claim and other claims dependent on this claim so as to achieve the aim of the present invention; there is an air filter, an air balancer, a body in which the vacuum former is located, a connection pipe connected to this body and air flow joint connection and an air flow joint connection to the combustion chamber.

The inventive air supply device is connected to the engine from the engine inlet through the air flow joint connection at the connection end of the connection pipe connected to its body. Said connection pipe is made of silicone or rubber material.

The air coming from the rear housing hole in the body is filtered by passing through the air filter. Some of the particles that cannot pass through the air filter are discharged from the discharge line located where they are poured into the gap inside the body. The discharge line in our device provides air reinforcement in case there is insufficient air coming from the rear housing hole. Undesirable external effects such as water, humidity, which arise from the temperature differences inside the body and/or likely to come from the rear housing hole and discharge line, are collected in the liquid retainer area of the body. The clean air filtered by passing through the air filter is both accelerated and cooled by the rotation effect by passing through the air conditioner. After the clean air passing through the air conditioner, the air flow passing through the air balancer is controlled with the contribution of the vacuum generator. The vacuum generator controls the air flow in such a way that it resists the engine suction at a certain rate. The air coming out of the vacuum generator in the body is directed towards the engine by passing through the connection end of the connection pipe. The air passing through the connection pipe is accelerated and cooled again by passing through the air conditioner positioned proceedingly in the connection pipe. At the last stage, it is connected to the air flow joint connection at the other connection end of the connection pipe in a way that it corresponds to the suction line of the engine. There are two inlets that are straight and at an angle of 45-50 degrees in the air flow joint connection. This feature provides a smoother entry of air flow into the engine. In the previous system, there was a T -shaped air flow joint connection, in this case, the original air intake hose of the vehicle was attached to the engine suction facing downward end of the short leg. Here, a connection facing with the air intake of the engine is formed; the incoming air is transferred into the combustion chamber with loss of efficiency by colliding with each other, causing the combustion efficiency in the combustion chamber to move away from the desired target with the device. In our inventive device, a connection pipe that is removed from the suction line of the engine and that does not contain vacuum is attached to the inlet positioned at an angle of 45-50 degrees on the air flow joint connection. Therefore, the loss of efficiency is prevented in the combustion chamber by preventing the air from facing directly and colliding with each other.

The air supply device (1) provides fuel saving in diesel or gasoline engines (LPG, LNG) by increasing combustion efficiency and power by sending the low pressured and accelerated, cooled air to the engine. Additional systems or installations such as turbocharger, supercharger, etc. so as to obtain a high pressure and intense air volume are not required with the air supply device (1). The air supply device (1) provides air and oxygen balancedly required for the combustion by forming a vacuumed air environment before only the engine inlet.

Our inventive air supply device comprises body (2), connection pipe (3), air filter (4), air conditioner (5), air balancer (6), vacuum generator (7) and air flow joint connection (8). The air supply device (1) enables the air to be cooled balancedly and to be accelerated by being rotated by means of the accelerator and the cooler air conditioner (5) located in the connection pipe (3) and in the body (2). The air supply device (1) can be integrated into the engines of the existing vehicles as well as being integrated into the internal combustion engines during the new production of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine.

The body (2) of our inventive device comprises front housing (2.1), rear housing (2.2), discharge line (2.3), line protector (2.4) and liquid retainer (2.5). There is also a rear housing hole (2.2.1) in the rear housing (2.2) in the body (2). The body (2) is connected to the connection pipe (3) from its front housing (2.1).

There is a discharge line (2.3) on the side surface of the rear housing (2.2). There is a line protector (2.4) surrounding the discharge line (2.3).

There is an air filter (4) which enables the air coming from the rear housing (2) connected with the rear housing (2.2) to be filtered inside the body (2), the air filter (4) is followed by the air conditioner (5), and there is an air balancer (6) after the air conditioner (5). The air balancer (6) is connected to the vacuum generator (7) through the connection end in the body. The vacuum generator (7) is located between the air balancer (6) and the front housing (3.1). There is also a liquid retainer (2.5) in the part of the front housing (2.1) connected to the vacuum generator (7).

The connection pipe (3) in our invention is connected to the engine, through one end to the body (2) and the other end to the joint connection (8). The connection pipe (3) comprises a connection end (3.1). The connection pipe (3) enables the air coming from the body (2) to be transmitted to the engine.

In an application in our invention, the air conditioner (5) located in the body is also located in the body (2) and the connection pipe (3). As an alternative application, the air conditioner (5) in the body, particularly in the passenger cars (Figure-3), may not be used. In this case, the air filter (4) in the body is directly connected to the air conditioner (6).

The air conditioners (5) located in the body (2) and/or the connection pipe (3) is in a conical grooved geometrical form. The air conditioner (5) is located between the air filter (4) and the air balancer in the body (2) and located at the distal end to the body (2) in the connection pipe (3). The air conditioner (5) enables the clean air filtered by passing through the air filter (4) to be accelerated with the effect of rotation and to be cooled with the effect of the rotation by accelerating.

The vacuum generator (7) which controls the air flow in such a way that it resists to the engine suction at a certain rate and enables the flow of the fresh air passing through the air conditioner (5) by being passed through the air balancer (6) is located between the air balancer (6) end and the connection end (3.1) in the body (2).

The air flow joint connection (8) in our invention is located at the other connection end (3.1) of the connection pipe (3) that is not connected to the body (2). The air flow joint connection (8) has two inlets. The air flow joint connection (8) provides the passage of filtered clean air from its inlet, in which it is connected to the connection pipe (3), and it is combined with the non-vacuum air flow line from the other inlet.

The inventive air supply device (1) is used as follows. The air coming from the rear housing hole (2.2.1) located in the body rear housing (2.2) in the body reaches to the air filter (4). The air reached to the air filter (4) is filtered. Some of the particles that cannot pass through the air filter (4) are poured into the gap inside the body (2) and discharged from the discharge line (2.3) in the body (2). The discharge line (2.3) in our device also provides air reinforcement in case that there is not enough air coming from the rear housing hole (2.2.1). Undesirable external effects such as water, humidity, which arise from the temperature differences inside the body (2) and/or likely to come from the rear housing hole (2.2.1) and discharge line (2.3), are collected in the liquid retainer (2.5) area in the body (2). The clean air filtered by passing through the air filter (4) is accelerated with the effect of rotation by passing through the air conditioner (5) and to be cooled with the effect of the rotation by accelerating. After the clean air passing through the air conditioner (5), the air flow passing through the air balancer (6) is controlled with the contribution of the vacuum generator (7). The vacuum generator (7) controls the air flow in such a way that it resists the engine suction at a certain rate.

In high volume engines, there is high pressure since the air suction inlet (suction manifold) is "intercooler". The object is to meet this high pressure and to enable the air passing through our invention to resist a higher suction. Therefore, we detect a 30% more reduction in emission rates when we perform two by means of this resistance. The increase of efficiency is provided.

The air coming out of the vacuum generator (7) in the body (2) is directed towards the engine with the connection pipe (3) by passing through the connection end (3.1) of the connection pipe (3). The air passing through the connection pipe (3) is accelerated and cooled again by passing through the air conditioner (5) positioned proceedingly in the connection pipe (3).

At the last stage, it is connected to the air flow joint connection (8) at the other connection end (3.1) of the connection pipe (3) in a way that it corresponds to the suction line of the engine. There are two inlets that are straight and angular in the air flow joint connection (8). The angular inlet is preferably 45-50 degrees. A connection pipe (3) that is removed from the suction line of the engine and that does not contain vacuum is attached to the inlet positioned at an angle of 45-50 degrees on the air flow joint connection (8). Therefore, the efficiency of emission and fuel is increased with the air supply device (1).

In our inventive device, the air balancer (6) and the vacuum generator (7) are connected to each other in the form of male and female. In our inventive device, the air balancer (6) and the vacuum generator (7) are connected to each other in the form of male and female. The air thinned and straightened in the air balancer (6) and turned into a rope is transferred to the vacuum generator (7). It is provided that the air thinned and straightened more can be transferred to the vacuum generator (7) with the male and female connection in this way, and the leaking air is prevented. An extra contribution is provided to the formation of vacuum with such a connection. The liquid retainer end of the vacuum generator (7) prevents the device to be non-operational by entering the vacuum generator (7) of the liquid inlet that may arise from the outside and by being transferred into the engine.
