This application claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. § 119 from China Patent Application No. 201821203633.2, filed on Jul. 27, 2018, in the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of carburetor, in particular, to a throttle and choke control linkage mechanism of carburetor.
BACKGROUND
The carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a ratio of gasoline with air under the vacuum generated by operation of an engine. At present, there are many types of carburetors on the market, and their structures are different. The functions and principles of carburetors are basically the same, mainly based on controlling the mixture of air and fuel entering the engine, and the flow of the mixture is determined by the throttle. An opening angle of the throttle is determined by pulling a throttle trigger of the engine, resulting in controlling the amount of mixture entering the engine.
Referring to FIGS. 37 to 49, a throttle and choke control linkage mechanism of a carburetor of the prior art is provided. When a choke lever on an engine is pulled, a choke handle 13 will rotate counterclockwise. Since the choke handle 13 and a choke shaft 7 are connected to each other by a non-circular portion, the choke shaft 7 will rotate together with a choke valve 9 fixed on the choke shaft 7 by a screw 8. At the same time, a stopper 13-1 of the choke handle 13 will touch a portion 11-1 of a fast idle handle 11, in order to push the fast idle handle 11 to overcome the torsion of a torsional spring 10 and then rotate counterclockwise. Under the tension of the choke lever, when the choke valve 9 is closed to a certain position, the fast idle handle 11 contacts a portion 5-1 of a throttle grip 5, in order to push a throttle shaft 1 and a throttle 3 fixed on the throttle shaft 1 by another screw 2 to gradually open with gradual closing of the choke valve 9. The portion 5-1 will fall into a ratchet 11-2 to generate a coupling. In order to ensure the portion 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 can fall into the ratchet 11-2 of the fast idle handle 11, the choke valve 9 and a main body choke hole 14-1 must not be completely closed. It is also impossible to close in the operation: when there is no over-travel, the portion 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 cannot fall into the ratchet 11-2 of the fast idle handle (11). In order to make sure that the fast idle handle 11 and the throttle grip 5 are coupled, there must be the over-travel (as shown in FIG. 42). At this time, the choke valve 9 and the main body choke hole 14-1 on a main body 14 are affected by the torsional spring on the fast idle handle, the choke valve cannot be completely closed and sealed, that is, a gap is generated during the over-travel. Due to an accumulated tolerance of each element, the position of the choke valve 9 is inconsistent. As shown in FIGS. 42 to 44, when the choke valve is fully closed under an external force, the fast idle handle and the throttle grip are interlocked, and there is a gap between the idle handle and the throttle grip. As shown in FIGS. 45 to 47, when the external force is released, the choke shaft 7 will be pushed back under the torsion of the torsional spring, causing the choke valve to open a part, thereby affecting the starting performance of the engine. After a fast idle linkage, there will be gaps in different sizes between the choke valve and an air intake of the main body, and the choke valve cannot be completely closed, resulting in a difference in an air intake amount when the engine is started and the starting performance of the engine.
Referring to FIGS. 48 and 49, another throttle and choke control linkage mechanism of another carburetor in prior art is provided. The difference between the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism in FIGS. 48 and 49 and the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism in FIGS. 37 to 47 is that the fast idle handle has a bevel on an upper portion in FIG. 48. The choke lever (not shown) on the engine pulls the choke handle 13, and the connecting portion of the choke handle 13 and the choke shaft 7 is provided with a flat shape to drive the choke shaft 7 and the choke valve 9 fixed by a screw 8 to rotate together. At the same time, a stopper 13-1 is in contact with the portion 11-1 of the fast idle handle 11 on the choke handle 13 to push the fast idle handle 11 and overcome the torsion of the torsional spring 10. Under the tension of the choke lever, when the choke valve 9 is rotated to a certain position, the fast idle handle 11 contacts an arm 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 and pushes the throttle shaft 1 and the throttle 3 fixed by a screw 2 to gradually open with the gradual closing of the choke valve 9. When the arm 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 slides along a surface of 11-3 of the fast idle handle 11 to a bevel 11-2 of the fast idle handle 11, the arm 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 will contact the bevel 11-2 of the fast idle handle 11 and generate an initial coupling. The choke handle 13 is continually pulled. When the choke valve 9 and the main body 14 are completely closed, the arm 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 is located on the bevel 11-2 of the fast idle handle 11 and slides to a certain point (as shown in FIG. 32), and at this time, an opening angle of the throttle 3 depends on the position of the arm 5-1 of the throttle grip 5 sliding on the bevel 11-2 of the fast idle handle 11. An accumulated tolerance of each element will result in that the position of the arm (5-1) of the mass-produced throttle handle (5) on the bevel 11-2 of the fast idle handle (11) will be inconsistent, so the opening angle of the throttle 3 is relatively inconsistent. The fast idle handle 11 will rotate counterclockwise to drive the choke valve 9 closed under the action of the throttle grip 5. However, due to manufacturing errors, the position of the throttle 3 is uncertain, which will affect the starting performance of the engine. Due to the accumulated tolerance of each element, the opening angle of throttle has a large difference after the fast idle linkage, resulting in poor consistency of engine starting and large engine speed dispersion when starting after fast idling.
In prior art, there will be gaps of different sizes between a choke valve and a throttle of the main body, which cannot be completely closed, resulting in a difference in the amount of mixture entering the engine when starting the engine, the starting performance of the engine, and the opening angle of the throttle. Therefore, there are large differences in engine starting consistency and engine speed at the time of quick idling after starting.

An embodiment of the present disclosure includes a throttle and choke control linkage mechanism for a carburetor including a choke shaft rotatably installed with a choke valve, a throttle shaft rotatably installed with a throttle, a choke handle fixed on the choke shaft and configured for rotating the choke valve from a fully opened position to a fully closed position or from the fully closed position to the fully opened position, a throttle grip fixed on the throttle shaft and configured for rotating the throttle from an idling position to an opened position, and a fast idle handle being able to rotate freely around the choke shaft, the fast idle handle further carrying a first end of a torsional spring, which has a second end connected with the choke shaft. When the choke handle is pulled, the choke valve is rotated from the fully opened position to the fully closed position. The fast idle handle is disposed on the choke shaft which is deflected by the torsional spring and rotatable along a first path. The throttle grip is rotatable along a second path which is coplanar and intersects with the first path. The fast idle handle is provided with a locking recess configured for locking the throttle grip. When the choke handle departs from the throttle grip, the throttle is at the idling position and the throttle grip is locked within the locking recess. The choke handle is further provided with a first surface which is able to link with the throttle grip. When the choke handle is linked with the throttle grip, the choke valve is at the fully closed position, and the throttle is opened with an angle larger than the idling position.
Furthermore, when the choke handle is linked with the throttle grip, the throttle grip is not locked by the locking recess, and there is a gap between the throttle grip and the fast idle handle.
Furthermore, the choke shaft and the throttle grip are linked with each other via the torsional spring.
Furthermore, at least one of the choke handle and the fast idle handle is provided with a convex portion, the fast idle handle is contacted with the choke handle under the torsional spring, when the choke handle is pulled, the choke valve is rotated from the fully opened position to the fully closed position, the fast idle handle and the choke handle will rotate, and the choke handle is finally linked with the throttle grip.
Furthermore, the fast idle handle is rotatably fixed on the choke shaft.
Furthermore, the fast idle handle comprises a first through hole with a cylindrical shape, the fast idle handle further has a first peak.
Furthermore, when the fast idle handle rotates until the first peak contacts a sixth edge of the throttle grip, the throttle is located at a maximum throttle angle, and a fifth edge of the throttle grip has not yet entered into the locking recess of the fast idle handle.
Furthermore, the choke shaft penetrates through the first through hole of the fast idle handle, and the fast idle handle freely rotate about the choke shaft.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as a skilled person in the art would understand. The terminology used in the description of the present disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a carburetor 100100 including a main body 14 and a throttle and choke control linkage mechanism 20. The throttle and choke control linkage mechanism 20 is mounted on the main body 14.
The carburetor 100 can be a diaphragm type carburetor 100. The carburetor 100 can be other types.
In this embodiment, the carburetor 100 is the diaphragm type carburetor 100, the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism 20 is a throttle and choke control linkage mechanism of the diaphragm type carburetor 100. The structure and working process of the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism 20 will be represented hereinafter.
Referring to FIG. 2, the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism 20 can include a throttle shaft 1, a throttle 3, a throttle grip 5, a choke shaft 7, a choke valve 9, a fast idle handle 11 and a choke handle 13. The throttle and choke control linkage mechanism 20 is an integrated structure formed by the throttle 3, the choke valve 9, and a cold start and quick idle setting mechanism of a throttle-choke. Referring to FIG. 4, the choke shaft 7 can be installed with a choke handle 13, a torsional spring 12, a fast idle handle 11, and a choke shaft sleeve 10 and a choke valve 9 from top to bottom. The choke handle 13 is provided with a third through hole 13g configured for accommodating an end of the choke shaft 7. The choke handle 13 can be linked with the end of the choke shaft 7. An inner surface of the third through hole 13g can include a seventh non-circular surface 13a and an eighth non-circular surface 13b opposite to each other. When the choke valve 9 is fully closed, the throttle 3 is opened with an angle, the throttle grip 5 and the fast idle handle 11 are not in a linking state and there is a gap between the throttle grip 5 and the fast idle handle 11. The choke valve 9 can be fully closed and have a good consistency. When an engine is started and a “POP” sound is made, the choke valve 9 is opened, the choke handle 13 will detach from the throttle grip 5, and at the same time, the throttle grip 5 will be coupled with the fast idle handle 11, so a throttle angle can have a good consistency, greatly improving a starting performance and a fast idle speed of the engine.
When the choke valve 9 is rotated from an opened position to a fully closed position, the throttle 3 can automatically be opened to a position greater than a fast idling position, making the starting of the engine easier.
The choke shaft 7 is able to rotate and mount with the choke valve 9. The choke handle 13 is configured for rotating the choke valve 9 from a fully opened position to the fully closed position or from the fully closed position to the fully opened position, and fixed on the choke shaft 7. The throttle grip 5 can carry a torsional spring (not shown), be configured for rotating the throttle 3 from a fully closed position to a fully opened position and fixed on the throttle shaft 1. The fast idle handle 11 can carry a torsional spring 12 and be able to rotate freely around the choke shaft 7.
In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the end of the choke shaft 7 includes a fifth non-circular surface 7a and a sixth non-circular surface 7b opposite to each other. The seventh non-circular surface 13a and the eighth non-circular surface 13b of the third through hole 13g of the choke handle 13 can be respectively coupled with the fifth non-circular surface 7a and the sixth non-circular surface 7b, so the choke handle 13 can drive the choke shaft 7 to rotate together.
Referring to FIG. 3, the throttle grip 5 can include a second through hole 5k. The second through hole 5k includes a third non-circular surface 5i and a fourth non-circular surface 5j opposite to each other. An end of the throttle shaft 1 can include a first non-circular surface 1a and a second non-circular surface 1b opposite to each other. The first non-circular surface 1a and the second non-circular surface 1b are respectively coupled to the third non-circular surface 5i and the fourth non-circular surface 5j of the second through hole 5k. That is, the end of the throttle shaft 1 can be located within the second through hole 5k and is fastened to the throttle grip 5 by the upper screw 6.
The throttle shaft 1 can be provided with an annular groove 1c, and a shield ring 4 can be disposed in the annular groove 1c.
Referring to FIG. 4, the choke shaft 7 can include a fifth non-circular surface 7a, a sixth non-circular surface 7b and a cylindrical surface 7c.
Referring to FIG. 4, the fast idle handle 11 can include a first through hole 11h. The first through hole 11h can have a cylindrical shape and include an inner surface 11g. Referring to FIG. 7, the fast idle handle 11 can further have a locking recess 11c, a ninth edge 11d, a first peak 11e, a tenth edge 11f, a seventh edge 11a and an eighth edge 11b. Referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 13a and FIG. 13b, when the fast idle handle 11 rotates until the first peak 11e contacts the sixth edge 5f of the throttle grip 5, the throttle 3 is located at a maximum throttle angle, and a fifth edge 5e of the throttle grip 5 has not yet entered into the locking recess 11c of the fast idle handle 11.
In the present embodiment, the choke shaft 7 penetrates through the first through hole 11h of the fast idle handle 11, and the cylindrical surface 7c can contact the inner surface 11g of the first through hole 11h. The fast idle handle 11 can freely rotate about the choke shaft 7.
Furthermore, a choke shaft sleeve 10 can be disposed on a bottom side of the fast idle handle 11 and sleeved around the choke shaft 7 (shown in FIG. 4).
Referring to FIG. 2, the fast idle handle 11 can be disposed on the choke shaft 7 which is deflected by the torsional spring 12. The fast idle handle 11 can rotate along a first path which is coplanar and intersects with a second path of rotating of the throttle grip 5.
At least one of the choke handle 13 and the fast idle handle 11 has a convex portion operatively connected with one of the choke handle 13 and the fast idle handle 11. The choke handle 13 rotates and makes the choke valve 9 close, causing the fast idle handle 11 to rotate toward an engaged position.
Referring to FIG. 8, the choke handle 13 is provided with a first convex portion 13h, and the fast idle handle 11 is provided with a second convex portion 11i.
The choke valve 9 can rotate from the fully opened position to the fully closed position or from the fully closed position to the fully opened position by the rotating of the choke handle 13 and the choke shaft 7.
The throttle 3 can be fixed to the throttle shaft 1 by a bolt 2.
It can be shown that the choke valve 9 can rotate from the fully opened position to the fully closed position in FIG. 5-FIG. 8.
The choke handle 13 can include a plurality of surfaces. The plurality of surfaces of the choke handle 13 are configured for inter-connecting with the throttle grip 5. Referring to FIG. 8, when the choke valve 9 is at the fully opened position, the seventh edge 11a of the fast idle handle 11 contacts closely with a second surface 13c of the choke handle 13 under a torsion of the torsional spring 12. That is, there is no gap between the second convex portion 11i and the first convex portion 13h, which contacts with each other. When the choke valve 9 rotates from the fully opened position to the fully closed position, that is, the choke handle 13 is rotated counter-clockwise, the fast idle handle 11 is driven to rotate counter-clockwise by the choke handle 13.
It can be shown that the throttle 3 can rotate from an idling position to an opened position in FIG. 9-FIG. 12.
When the tenth edge 11f of the fast idle handle 11 rotates and contacts with the third edge 5c of the throttle grip 5, the throttle grip 5 and the throttle 3 are correspondingly driven to rotate clockwise, the throttle 3 will gradually rotate from an idling position to an opened position.
It can be shown that the throttle 3 rotates to the maximum throttle angle from FIG. 13a and FIG. 13b.
When the tenth edge 11f of the fast idle handle 11 drives the throttle grip 5 to rotate, the first peak 11e contacts with the third edge 5c of the throttle grip 5, such that the throttle grip 5 and the throttle 3 will be driven to rotate clockwise. The throttle 3 rotates from the idling position to the fully opened position. When the first peak 11e contacts with the sixth edge 5f of the throttle grip 5, the throttle 3 has the maximum throttle angle.
Referring to FIG. 14a and FIG. 14b, when the choke handle 13 is continuously pulled, the fast idle handle 11 continuously rotates counter-clockwise, the fifth edge 5e of the throttle grip 5 will move toward the ninth edge 11d of the fast idle handle 11. And at the same time, the third peak 5b of the throttle grip 5 will touch a first surface 13d of the choke handle 13.
Referring to FIG. 15a and FIG. 15b, the choke handle 13 will rotate continuously, such that the fast idle handle 11 continuously rotates until the choke valve 9 closes fully. Then, the third peak 5b of the throttle grip 5 is completely engaged with a middle of the first surface 13d of the choke handle 13. There are gaps between the fifth edge 5e and the ninth edge 11d and between the sixth edge 5f and the locking recess 11c, which are not in contact with each other.
Referring to FIG. 16a and FIG. 16b, the choke handle 13 drives the choke valve 9 to rotate clockwise, the first surface 13d will pull the throttle grip 5 to rotate clockwise. The fast idle handle 11 will rotate clockwise together under the torsion of the torsional spring 12, until that the ninth edge 11d touches and is stopped by the fifth edge 5e of the throttle grip 5. Then, the fast idle handle 11 will not rotate clockwise.
Referring to FIG. 17a and FIG. 17b, the choke handle 13 is pulled to rotate clockwise, a third surface 13e of the choke handle 13 will pass over the third peak 5b of the throttle grip 5 and slide along a first edge 5a of the throttle grip 5 until it departs from the first edge 5a. The throttle grip 5 will rotate counter-clockwise under the torsion of the torsional spring until it is locked within the locking recess 11c of the fast idle handle 11. Then, the throttle grip 5 will stop to rotate counter-clockwise.
Referring to FIG. 18a and FIG. 18b, the choke handle 13 is continuously pulled to rotate clockwise, a third surface 13e of the choke handle 13 will departs completely from the first edge 5a of the throttle grip 5 until the choke valve 9 rotates clockwise to the fully opened position. At this time, the choke valve 9 is in contact with a block portion 14a of the main body 14. The sixth edge 5f of the throttle grip 5 is completely locked within the locking recess 11c of the fast idle handle 11.
Referring to FIG. 19, when the throttle 3 rotates from the idling position to the opened position, that is, the throttle grip 5 is pulled clockwise, the sixth edge 5f contacts with the first peak 11e of the fast idle handle 11, and the throttle grip 5 can be in a critical state.
It can be shown that an end state of the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism from FIG. 20a to FIG. 20b.
The throttle 3 is continuously operated. The throttle grip 5 continues to rotate clockwise, the first peak 11e of the fast idle handle 11 detaches from the sixth edge 5f. The fast idle handle 11 will rotate clockwise under the torsion of the torsional spring, until the seventh edge 11a of the fast idle handle 11 contacts the second surface 13c of the choke handle 13. The movement of the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism ends.
In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 21 to FIG. 24, another throttle and choke control linkage mechanism in a carburetor 200 is provided. The structure and connection relationship between the various components of the carburetor 200 is substantially the same as that of the carburetor 100, except for the structures of the throttle grip 5 and the choke handle 13. Therefore, the structures of the throttle grip 5 and the choke handle 13, and working process of the carburetor 200 will be explained.
Referring to FIG. 25, the first surface 13d is further provided with a concave portion 131. The concave portion 131 is configured for linking with the throttle grip 5.
Referring to FIG. 26, the throttle grip 5 is provided with a first linkage shaft 5g and a second linkage shaft 5h. The first linkage shaft 5g is configured for engaging the fast idle handle 11, and the second linkage shaft 5h is configured for engaging the choke handle 13.
Preferably, the first linkage shaft 5g and the second linkage shaft 5h are vertically disposed on the throttle grip 5, that is, an axis of the first linkage shaft 5g can be vertical to a surface of the throttle grip 5 and parallel to an axis of the second linkage shaft 5h. Of course, in other embodiments, the axis of the first linkage shaft 5g and the axis of the second linkage shaft 5h may not be disposed in parallel.
Referring to FIG. 27, FIG. 28a, FIG. 28b, FIG. 29a, FIG. 29b, FIG. 30a, FIG. 30b, FIG. 30c, FIG. 31a, FIG. 31b, and FIG. 31c, it shows a process of the choke valve 9 from a fully opening position to a fully closing position.
When the choke valve 9 is at the fully opening position, the seventh edge 11a of the fast idle handle 11 is in close contact with the first face 13c of the choke handle 13 by the torsion of the torsional spring 12 (as shown in FIG. 20b). When the choke valve 9 is rotated from the fully opening position to the fully closed position, that is, when the choke handle 13 is pulled to rotate counterclockwise, the fast idle handle 11 can be driven to rotate counterclockwise by the choke handle 13.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 28a to FIG. 28b, a process of the throttle 3 from the idling position to the opened position is showed.
When the tenth edge 11f of the fast idle handle 11 rotates and contacts with the first linkage shaft 5g of the throttle grip 5, the throttle grip 5 and the throttle 3 are driven to rotate clockwise, and the throttle 3 will gradually rotate from the idling position to the opened position.
It can be shown that the throttle 3 rotates to the maximum throttle angle from FIG. 29a and FIG. 29b.
When the tenth edge 11f of the fast idle handle 11 drives the throttle grip 5 to rotate, the first peak 11e contacts with the first linkage shaft 5g of the throttle grip 5, such that the throttle 3 rotates from the idling position to the fully opened position. When the first peak 11e contacts with the first linkage shaft 5g of the throttle grip 5, the throttle 3 has the maximum throttle angle.
Referring to FIG. 30a, FIG. 30b, and FIG. 30c, when the choke handle 13 is continuously pulled, the fast idle handle 11 continuously rotates counter-clockwise, the first linkage shaft 5g of the throttle grip 5 will move to the ninth edge 11d of the fast idle handle 11, but not contact the locking recess 11c. And at the same time, the second linkage shaft 5h of the throttle grip 5 will touch the first surface 13d of the choke handle 13.
Referring to FIG. 31a, FIG. 31b, and FIG. 31c, the choke handle 13 will rotate continuously, such that the fast idle handle 11 continuously rotates until the choke valve 9 closes fully. Then, the second linkage shaft 5h of the throttle grip 5 is completely engaged with the concave portion 131 of the first surface 13d. There are gaps between the first linkage shaft 5g and the ninth edge 11d and between the first linkage shaft 5g and the locking recess 11c, which are not in contact with each other.
Referring to FIG. 32a, FIG. 32b and FIG. 32c, the choke handle 13 drives the choke valve 9 to rotate clockwise, the second surface 13e will pull the throttle grip 5 to rotate clockwise. The fast idle handle 11 will rotate clockwise together under the torsion of the torsional spring 12, until that the ninth edge 11d touches and is stopped by the first linkage shaft 5g of the throttle grip 5. Then, the fast idle handle 11 will not rotate clockwise.
Referring to FIG. 33a and FIG. 33b, the choke handle 13 is pulled to rotate clockwise, a third surface 13e of the choke handle 13 will not contact with the second linkage shaft 5h. At the time, the throttle grip 5 will rotate counter-clockwise under the torsion of the torsional spring until it is locked within the locking recess 11c of the fast idle handle 11 (as shown in FIG. 34). Then the throttle grip 5 will stop to rotate counter-clockwise.
Referring to FIG. 34, the choke handle 13 is continuously pulled to rotate clockwise, a third surface 13e of the choke handle 13 will departs completely from the second linkage shaft 5h of the throttle grip 5 until the choke valve 9 rotates clockwise to the fully opened position. At this time, the choke valve 9 is in contact with the block portion 14a of the main body 14. The first linkage shaft 5g of the throttle grip 5 is completely locked within the locking recess 11c of the fast idle handle 11, and there is a gap between the second convex portion 11i and the first convex portion 13h.
Referring to FIG. 35, when the throttle 3 rotates from the idling position to the opened position, that is, the throttle grip 5 is pulled clockwise, the first linkage shaft 5g contacts with the first peak 11e of the fast idle handle 11, and the throttle grip 5 can be in the critical state.
It can be shown that an end state of the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism from FIG. 36.
The throttle 3 is continuously operated. The throttle grip 5 continues to rotate clockwise, the first peak 11e of the fast idle handle 11 detaches from the first linkage shaft 5g. The fast idle handle 11 will rotate clockwise under the torsion of the torsional spring, until the seventh edge 11a of the fast idle handle 11 contacts with the second surface 13c of the choke handle 13, and there is no gap between the second convex portion 11i and the first convex portion 13h. The movement of the throttle and choke control linkage mechanism ends.
