DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0019] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a dual-fuel carburetor includes a carburetor body 100, a kerosene reservoir 200 disposed at the lower portion of the carburetor body 100, and a main fuel injection hole 110 and an idle fuel injection hole 120 disposed within the carburetor body 100 above the kerosene reservoir 200. The lower end of the main fuel injection hole 110 communicates with the kerosene reservoir 200, while the lower end of the idle fuel injection hole is connected to a gasoline connecting pipe 130 extending from the bottom of the kerosene reservoir. The main fuel injection hole 110 and the idle fuel injection hole 120 communicate via a central oil passage 140. The dual-fuel carburetor of the present invention can use dual fuels, allowing users to choose between them. It can also use gasoline during engine startup and idling, and kerosene during normal operation, thereby saving users considerable financial resources and reducing operating costs. Furthermore, when the engine is idling, the throttle opening is relatively small, and using gasoline as fuel can prevent unstable idling conditions.

[0021] In this embodiment, a gasoline storage cup 300 is also included. A kerosene pump 400 and a gasoline pump 500 are provided on the side of the carburetor body. The kerosene pump and the gasoline pump are overlapped and arranged on the side of the carburetor body. The inlet end of the kerosene pump is connected to a kerosene supply pipe, and a kerosene inlet pipe is connected between the outlet end of the kerosene pump and the kerosene storage cup; the inlet end of the gasoline pump is connected to a gasoline supply pipe, a transition pipe is connected between the outlet end of the gasoline pump and the gasoline storage cup, and a gasoline inlet pipe is connected between the gasoline storage cup and the gasoline connecting pipe; since gasoline is basically only used during starting and idling, the amount of gasoline used is relatively small. The use of an external gasoline storage cup can simplify the structure of the carburetor body and reduce the difficulty of manufacturing.

[0022] In this embodiment, a main foaming tube 111 is provided in the main fuel injection hole 110, and a main metering hole 112 is provided below the main foaming tube; an idle foaming tube 121 is provided in the idle fuel injection hole 120, and an idle metering hole 122 is provided below the idle foaming tube.

[0023] In this embodiment, the mixture passage 150 inside the carburetor body 100 is provided with a throttle valve at the outlet end and a choke valve at the inlet end to control the air intake and the amount of air intake; the main fuel injection hole is connected to the middle of the mixture passage.

[0024] In this embodiment, a first transition hole 160, a second transition hole 170, an idle air inlet hole 180 and an idle oil outlet hole 190 are provided in the carburetor body. One end of the first transition hole and the second transition hole is connected to the idle oil injection hole, and the other end passes through the outer side of the carburetor body. A steel ball is provided at the outward end of the first transition hole and the second transition hole; the idle air inlet hole is connected to the first transition hole; one end of the idle oil outlet hole is connected to the second transition hole, and the other end is connected to the middle of the mixture passage.

[0025] A dual-fuel carburetor operating method as described above provides gasoline as fuel through the gasoline connecting pipe during engine startup and idling; and kerosene as fuel through the kerosene reservoir during normal engine operation. Since kerosene is cheaper than gasoline, this saves users considerable financial expense and reduces operating costs. Furthermore, when the engine is idling, the throttle opening is relatively small, so using gasoline as fuel can prevent unstable idling conditions and ensure stable carburetor operation.

[0026] Unless otherwise stated, for any of the technical solutions disclosed in the present invention, if a numerical range is disclosed, the disclosed numerical range is a preferred numerical range. Any person skilled in the art should understand that the preferred numerical range is merely a numerical range that is representative or has a more obvious technical effect among many feasible numerical values. Due to the large number of numerical values, it is impossible to enumerate them exhaustively. Therefore, the present invention discloses some numerical values ​​to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention. Moreover, the numerical values ​​listed above should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] If the present invention discloses or involves components or structures that are fixedly connected to each other, then, unless otherwise stated, the fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (for example, connection using bolts or screws), and can also be understood as: a non-detachable fixed connection (for example, riveting, welding). Of course, the mutual fixed connection can also be replaced by an integrated structure (for example, manufactured by integral molding using a casting process) (except where it is obviously not possible to use an integrated molding process).

[0028] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used in any technical solution disclosed in the present invention to express positional relationships or shapes include states or shapes that are approximate, similar, or close thereto.

[0029] Any component provided by the present invention may be assembled from multiple separate components, or may be a separate component manufactured by an integral molding process.
