Title: Improvements in carburetters for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M33/04
Filed: 1933-02-27
Abstract: 397,778. Spray carburetters. MARKLIN APPARATEBAU GES., 23, Rochlitzerstrasse, Chemnitz, Germany. Feb. 27, 1933, No. 5899. Convention date, May 25, 1932. Addition to 318,644, [Class 7 (iii), Internal-combustion engines, Carburetting- apparatus &c. for]. [Class 7 (iii).] In a spray carburetter of the kind in which a preliminary mixture is fed to the induction passage by way of an atomizing chamber having a downward extension into which unatomized fuel particles drain for return to the atomizing chamber, as described in the parent Specification, the air inlet pipe is disposed concentrically about the fuel nozzle and is itself surrounded by a further concentric casing communicating at its lower end with the extension of the atomizing chamber. Fuel from a supply x is sucked through a calibrated plug n into a nozzle pipe a communicating by orifices c with a concentric tube b, the top of which communicates with the outer air through a casing d having its upper end closed in on the pipe a. A concentric air inlet pipe f surrounds the casing d and is itself enclosed by a casing h having a conical top. Fuel from a float chamber S fills the pipe a and tube b to the level of the float chamber. Engine suction draws fuel from the pipe a and air through the pipe f to form a rich mixture in a chamber i merging into a delivery pipe o projecting into the secondary air and induction passage m, the air and finely atomized fuel passing through apertures p into the passage m while heavier fuel particles drop back into the body s, down the outside of the casing h and through apertures k to the interior of the casing where they are again drawn up for atomization. As the level of the fuel in the nozzle a falls, the apertures c are uncovered and air is progressively drawn into the nozzle through them to form an emulsion. A sliding throttle q controls the amount of suction and the further throttling of the mixture is avoided by making the total area of the aperture p greater than that of the aperture in the coned top of the casing h. In a modification, the apertures c, the tube band casing d are dispensed with and the outer casing h has a coned top the apex of which is closed, delivery apertures being provided on the conical surface.

The computer is controlled either by a keyboard or, preferably, by a punched card which accompanies the vehicle along the production line and contains data identifying the appliances provided on that vehicle, successive test instructions being given via a display device. At the checking station a battery adaptor is connected in one of the battery leads so that the computer may, by switching relays, connect an appropriate shunt into that lead for each test. The voltage across the shunt is passed back to the computer via an A/D converter and compared with a reference voltage whose magnitude is made dependent on the voltage of the vehicle battery. If a fault condition is sensed, e.g. due to a short circuit, open circuit or wrongly-rated component, an alarm is given. The inspector presses a "return" button to repeat that particular test, and if the fault is confimed it is automatically noted on the inspection report provided by a print out recorder. Tests which cannot be monitored by measuring the battery current are made visually by the inspector, who presses an "error" button if he notes a fault. The computer may compile statistics relating to the faults found.
