Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of internal combustion engine technology, and in particular relates to an air supercharging device and a two-stroke engine. Background Technology
[0002] Two-stroke engines are characterized by their compact structure, high power density, and relatively low cost, and are widely used in motorcycles, small boats, garden machinery, and some portable power generation devices. Structurally, a two-stroke engine generally consists of a cylinder, piston, crankshaft, connecting rod, cylinder head, spark plug, intake port, exhaust port, and scavenging port. Its working principle involves two strokes completing one working cycle: the compression stroke and the power stroke. Intake and exhaust occur simultaneously in this cycle, directly completing the air exchange. This simultaneous intake and exhaust characteristic leads to insufficient air exchange; fresh air-fuel mixture easily escapes with the exhaust gas, and exhaust gases are not easily removed completely, resulting in incomplete combustion. Ultimately, this manifests as poor fuel economy, severe emissions, and power and torque that fall short of expectations. These problems significantly limit the application scenarios of two-stroke engines.
[0003] Therefore, in order to solve these problems, a gas boosting device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The air compressor is provided with a one-way air inlet and a one-way air outlet. The pressure stabilizing box is provided with an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The one-way air outlet is connected to the air inlet end of the pressure stabilizing box. The air outlet end of the pressure stabilizing box is provided with a one-way pressure relief valve. The pressure stabilizing box is provided with an air supply hole. The air compressor is connected to an external power input device.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0008] The air compressor in this application can provide high-pressure compressed gas, which enters the pressure stabilizing box through a one-way outlet.

The one-way pressure relief valve can relieve pressure, preventing the air pressure in the pressure stabilizing box from becoming too high, and also enabling the air booster to provide a stable intake pressure.

[0019] Firstly, see [the following] Figure 1 The air booster device provided by this utility model includes an air compressor 2 and a pressure stabilizing box 3; the air compressor 2 is provided with a one-way air inlet and a one-way air outlet, the pressure stabilizing box 3 is provided with an air inlet end and an air outlet end, the one-way air outlet end is connected to the air inlet end of the pressure stabilizing box 3, the air outlet end of the pressure stabilizing box 3 is provided with a one-way pressure relief valve 3-2, and the pressure stabilizing box 3 is provided with an air supply hole.
[0020] In practice:
[0021] Engine 1 employs mechanical supercharging and includes an engine block 1, an air compressor 2, a pressure regulator 3, a fuel supply system, and a carburetor. The engine block 1 contains engine cylinders 1-3, a crankcase 1-7, a cylinder head, engine pistons 1-4, and an engine crankshaft 1-6. The pistons and crankshaft are connected by connecting rods to transmit power. The crankcase 1-7 has an intake port on its wall, and the cylinder walls have exhaust ports. A scavenging passage connects the crankcase 1-7 and engine cylinders 1-3. A combustion chamber 1-1 is provided between the cylinder head and engine cylinders 1-3, and spark plugs 1-2 are installed on the cylinder head. Both ends of the engine crankshaft 1-6 extend out of the crankcase 1-7. One end connects to a reduction gearbox to output power, and the other end is fitted with a crankshaft flywheel 1-8. A starter motor 1-9 drives the crankshaft flywheel 1-8 to rotate via gear meshing, thus starting the engine. The selected air compressor 2 is a piston type, directly driven by the flywheel end of the engine crankshaft 1-6 via splines, which drives the air compressor crankshaft 2-8. The air compressor 2 has a one-way intake port and a one-way exhaust port. The carburetor is installed on the intake port of the crankcase 1-7 to mix fuel with the intake air, and a throttle valve precisely controls the intake volume of the mixture. The pressure regulator 3 has an air supply port connected to the carburetor intake port; the pressure regulator 3 also has a one-way intake port for drawing in outside air, and a booster intake port (intake end) connected to the one-way exhaust port of the air compressor 2 via a pipe.
[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the working principle is as follows: During initial startup, the starter motor 1-9 applies starting torque to the crankshaft flywheel 1-8, causing the engine crankshaft 1-6 to rotate. The engine connecting rod 1-5 drives the engine piston 1-4 upwards, compressing the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinder 1-3. At top dead center, the spark plug 1-2 ignites the high-pressure air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber 1-1, performing work on the engine piston 1-4. The engine piston 1-4 then moves downwards, forcing fresh air-fuel mixture from the crankcase 1-7 into the engine cylinder 1-3 through the scavenging passage, and expelling exhaust gas from the exhaust port. The engine piston 1-4 then rises again to compress the air-fuel mixture, completing the working cycle and enabling the engine 1 to reach a self-sustaining operating state. When the engine piston 1-4 moves upwards, the negative pressure in the crankcase 1-7 causes air in the pressure regulating box 3 to be drawn in through the carburetor 4 and mixed with fuel to form a fresh air-fuel mixture. Simultaneously, external air is supplied to the pressure regulating box 3 through the one-way reed valve 3-1. The air compressor 2 is externally mounted on the flywheel side of the engine 1, employing a cylinder-piston structure to achieve intake supercharging.
[0023] The air compressor 2 isolates the intake chamber 2-1 and the exhaust chamber 2-3 at the top of the air compressor cylinder 2-5, and has a one-way intake valve 2-2 on the side of the intake chamber 2-1 and a one-way exhaust valve 2-4 on the side of the exhaust chamber 2-3. The air compressor crankshaft 2-8 rotates with the engine crankshaft 1-6 via a spline connection, driving the air compressor connecting rod 2-7 and the air compressor piston 2-6 to complete the up-and-down stroke working cycle. With each revolution, during the downward stroke of the air compressor piston 2-6, the volume of the air compressor cylinder 2-5 increases, generating negative pressure. This draws in additional air from the outside into the air compressor cylinder 2-5 through the one-way intake valve 2-2. Then, during the upward stroke of the air compressor piston 2-6, the volume of the air compressor cylinder 2-5 decreases, and the air is compressed. When the air pressure reaches the opening value of the one-way exhaust valve 2-4, the compressed air in the cylinder flows at high pressure and high velocity through the exhaust chamber 2-3 and the connecting air passage into the pressure stabilizing box 3. This continues until the air compressor piston 2-6 reaches top dead center, expelling all the air from the air compressor cylinder 2-5 before fresh air is drawn in again. During each cycle, the air compressor 2 naturally draws air into the pressure stabilizing box 3 until the pressure reaches equilibrium, then adds additional intake air to achieve intake pressurization. Furthermore, the pressure regulator 3 maintains the intake air at a specific boost pressure value by controlling the pressure relief valve 3-2. The stable air pressure at the intake ports of engine cylinders 1-3 ensures that the engine has the same boosted intake air volume at a fixed throttle opening and speed, resulting in more complete fuel combustion, ensuring increased engine power and torque, stable operation, and improved fuel economy.
[0024] In this application, the air compressor 2 is directly driven by the engine crankshaft 1-6 to complete the air pumping work, which reduces space occupation and improves transmission efficiency.
[0025] In this application, the air compressor 2 adopts the working mode of cylinder piston and one-way exhaust valve 2-4 to first draw in external air in each revolution and then pressurize the air in the cylinder and discharge it into the pressure stabilizing box 3, so that the pressure value of the boosted air intake and the crankshaft phase have a certain degree of controllability.
[0026] In this application, in order to ensure that the engine cylinders 1-3 have a stable boosted intake pressure and to improve the boosted intake lag problem of the air compressor 2, a one-way intake reed valve (one-way reed valve 3-1) and a pressure relief valve 3-2 for pressure control are integrated in the pressure stabilizing box 3, so that the intake pressure of the engine 1 will not be too low or too high momentarily.
[0027] In this application, in order to ensure that the air entering the engine cylinders 1-3 is clean and pure, an air filter is integrated into the external air intake of the air compressor 2 and the pressure stabilizing box 3.
[0028] In this application, a choke and a throttle valve are integrated into the carburetor to achieve precise control of the cylinder intake volume.
[0029] As one possible implementation, the voltage regulator box 3 is also provided with multiple air inlets, each of which is equipped with a one-way reed valve 3-1 that opens into the voltage regulator box 3.
[0030] The air inlet, in conjunction with the one-way reed valve 3-1, ensures the stability of the gas pressure inside the pressure stabilizing box 3.
[0031] In one possible implementation, the air compressor 2 includes a piston chamber, an air compressor piston 2-6, an air compressor connecting rod 2-7, an air compressor crankshaft 2-8, an intake chamber 2-1, and an exhaust chamber 2-3. The air compressor piston 2-6 is slidably connected to the piston chamber. Both ends of the air compressor connecting rod 2-7 are hinged to one end of the air compressor piston 2-6 and one end of the air compressor crankshaft 2-8, respectively. The other end of the air compressor crankshaft 2-8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the power unit. The intake chamber 2-1 and the exhaust chamber 2-3 are located at the end of the piston chamber away from the air compressor connecting rod 2-7. The intake chamber 2-1 and the exhaust chamber 2-3 communicate with the piston chamber. A one-way intake valve 2-2 is provided between the intake chamber 2-1 and the piston chamber. A one-way exhaust valve 2-4 is provided between the exhaust chamber 2-3 and the piston chamber. The exhaust chamber 2-3 communicates with the pressure stabilizing box 3.
[0032] The air compressor 2 is installed to compress air and ensure the continuity of air compression, so as to provide stable high-pressure gas for the pressure stabilizing box 3.
[0033] As one possible implementation, the pressurization device also includes an air filter; the air filter is disposed at the one-way air inlet of the air compressor 2 and the air inlet of the pressure stabilizing box 3.
[0034] The air filter ensures the cleanliness of the gas entering the air compressor 2 and the pressure regulating box 3.
[0035] Secondly, this utility model also provides a two-stroke engine including an air booster device, wherein the air booster device is fixedly connected to the engine 1, the air compressor crankshaft 2-8 is fixedly connected to the engine crankshaft 1-6, and the air supply port is connected to the engine carburetor.
