Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     (a) Technical Field of the Invention  
         [0002]     The present invention is related to a fuel activation auxiliary installation for vehicles, and more particularly to a box containing ceramic object that emits IR rays locked to where fuel enters into combustion chamber to activate fuel for complete combustion to improve combustion efficiency and save fuel cost.  
         [0003]     (b) Description of the Prior Art  
         [0004]     Development and exploitation of IR commodities are the new trends in the existing market. IR commodities are popularly applied in daily necessities to take advantage of their features of activating and promoting energies in maintaining health. Wooden and ceramic materials are usually selected for manufacturing into various types of daily appliances. However, wooden materials are not easily available due to the surge of environmental awareness today. Therefore, more and more IR commodities are made of ceramic materials. Studies show that ceramic materials give better emission of infrared rays than the wooden ones do. Most of the IR commodities generally available in the market are now made of ceramic materials, particularly in the manufacturing of heaters to keep a comfortable ambient temperature without damaging the air (avoiding consuming too much oxygen) and to assure of user safety. When applied in fuel, IR rays help activate the purity of the fuel before the combustion to significantly improve the combustion efficiency. However, the ceramic materials are vulnerable to break up and thus are difficult to be installed to fuel passage on a vehicle. Therefore, most of the fuel saving installations involves the direct addition of chemicals into the fuel tank to mix with the fuel. Whether the direct addition of chemicals will negatively affected the combustion chamber or even the entire engine has been a nightmare to the automobile manufacturing industry. Certain efforts are therefore directed to work on the air inlet to purify the air for a better mixture of fuel and air. But those efforts are frustrated due to that the resultant improvement of combustion efficiency is very limited; that the air purification system is very difficult to be mounted to the engine; that the system suffers higher tear and wear with the serious turbidity of the existing air; and that the benefits do not justify the costs. On the other hand, infrared rays are comparatively stable and durable in providing good permeability and good activation results to the air or the fuel. How to put ceramic object in practice in activating the fuel deserves further attention.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0005]     The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a fuel activation installation for vehicle. A prefabricated box comprised of two halves abutted to each other containing ceramic object is mounted externally to the fuel passage. Infrared rays emitted from the ceramic object activates and purify the fuel for achieving complete combustion, thus to significantly improve combustion efficiency. The entire installation permits easy and summary assembly to meet economic and practical purposes.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
       [0012]     The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.  
         [0013]     Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , an installation to activate the fuel and directly mounted to the fuel passage is essentially comprised of a prefabricated box ( 10 ) generally made in rectangular shape in length of 5˜12 cm preferred. Longer box prevents easy mounting to the fuel passage; and shorter box compromises the activation results and multiple boxes may be required. The box ( 10 ) is comprised of two halves abutted to each other. Each half of the recessed box ( 10 ) has a flat base and contains an extruded ceramic object ( 11 ). Usually a ceramic plate or one made in hybrid shape is filled in the half of the box ( 10 ). The shape and size of the ceramic object ( 11 ) are close to that of the box ( 10 ). To secure the ceramic object ( 11 ), a nipple ( 12 ) or a positioning slope is provided on the inner wall of the box ( 10 ) so that once placed in the box ( 10 ), the ceramic object ( 11 ) is secured in position by slight applying a force to press the ceramic object ( 11 ) into the box ( 10 ). Alternatively, the ceramic object ( 1 ) may be directly attached to the base or the inner sides of the box ( 10 ) by applying adhesion. The box ( 10 ) may be directly molded by plastic injection or having metal sheet pressed into shape. The former option is comparatively economic and provides better flexibility for the assembly of the box. Both longer sides of each half of the box ( 10 ) are flanged, and multiple locking lugs ( 13 ) are respectively disposed in pair on each flange. A bolting hole ( 14 ) is provided at the center of each locking lug ( 13 ) for a fastener, e.g., a bolt to directly lock the box to a fuel passage ( 20 ).  
         [0014]     As illustrated in  FIG. 3 , a locking nail ( 16 ) is directly provided in the bolted hole ( 14 ) on each locking lug ( 13 ) on one flange of a half of the box ( 10 ) so that each half can be produced in a single module, and then both halves of the box ( 10 ) are abutted to each other while mounting onto the fuel passage ( 20 ). Wherein, the nail relates to a hollow one and provides the elasticity for compression to facilitate buckling both halves of the box ( 10 ) to the fuel passage ( 20 ) without the use of any hand tool. Accordingly, infrared rays emitted by the ceramic object ( 11 ) activates the fuel to directly help the fuel for complete combustion thus to pay the optimal fuel activation and improve the combustion efficiency. As illustrated in  FIG. 4 , the box ( 10 ) containing the ceramic object ( 11 ) is mounted on the fuel passage at where closes to a combustion chamber ( 21 ). Generally, the section between the fuel leaving a fuel tank ( 22 ) and filtered by a fuel filter element ( 23 ) and before immediately flowing into the combustion chamber ( 21 ) is the preferred location for the mounting of the present invention. By having the present invention locked to the fuel passage ( 20 ) where closes to the combustion chamber ( 21 ), the fuel, gas or air flowing through where the present invention is located is activated and purified by the infrared rays emitting from the ceramic object ( 11 ) contained in the box ( 10 ) to achieve complete combustion in the combustion chamber ( 21 ) once ignited by the spark plug, thus to pay the high efficiency in the horsepower output to its optimal capacity. The present invention can be easily mounted or removed without affecting the supply and output of the entire fuel system.  
         [0015]     Advantages provided by the present invention are summarized as follows: 
        1. Easy molding of the members: either for the box ( 10 ) or the ceramic object ( 11 ) can be easily molded and standardized for the production, meaning, cheaper purchase cost.     2. No restriction on the sectional shape of the fuel passage: the present invention as long as it is comprised of two recessed halves can be easily mounted to the fuel passage; therefore no restriction of the sectional shape of the fuel passage is required.     3. Lower production cost: since all members can be separately prefabricated in continuous molding of the box and the ceramic object, followed by easy filling of the ceramic object, no complicated process technology is required, and practically free of defective products, the production cost is low for economic production and use.     4. Easy installation. Two halves are locked to each other to the fuel passage at where closet to the combustion chamber ( 21 ) as possible to prevent the activated fuel from reduction. The present invention is ready for use without reliance upon any special technology.
