Abstract

To balance a “low-temperature scavenging effect” and a “high-temperature scavenging effect.” A scavenging system applicable to a leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine has a low-temperature scavenging passage and a high-temperature scavenging passage. The low-temperature scavenging passage has first and second passages and includes scavenging ports at upper end parts thereof. The high-temperature scavenging passage has first and second passages and includes scavenging ports at upper end parts thereof. An air is filled through a piston groove into the passages. The low-temperature scavenging passage has a relatively small capacity. The high-temperature scavenging passage has a relatively large capacity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine introducing an air into a combustion chamber in an early phase of a scavenging stroke and subsequently introducing a fuel-air mixture in a crank chamber into the combustion chamber for scavenging, the engine comprising:
a low-temperature scavenging passage communicating with the crank chamber and the combustion chamber and having the communication with the combustion chamber opened and closed by a piston; and
a high-temperature scavenging passage located opposite to the low-temperature scavenging passage, the high-temperature scavenging passage communicating with the crank chamber and the combustion chamber and having the communication with the combustion chamber opened and closed by the piston,
the high-temperature scavenging passage having a temperature during engine operation higher than that of the low-temperature scavenging passage,
the high-temperature scavenging passage having a capacity larger than that of the low-temperature scavenging passage.

2. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 1 , wherein
in each of the low-temperature scavenging passage and the high-temperature scavenging passage, an air is located in an upper portion from an air filling line in each the scavenging passage along with a fuel-air mixture located in a lower portion, and wherein
in comparison between a first effective capacity of the upper portion from the air filling line in the low-temperature scavenging passage and a second effective capacity of the upper portion from the air filling line in the high-temperature scavenging passage, the first effective capacity of the low-temperature scavenging passage is smaller than the second effective capacity of the high-temperature scavenging passage.

3. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 2 , wherein a capacity ratio between the first effective capacity of the low-temperature scavenging passage and the second effective capacity of the high-temperature scavenging passage is 65% to 98%.

4. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 2 , wherein a capacity ratio between the first effective capacity of the low-temperature scavenging passage and the second effective capacity of the high-temperature scavenging passage is 80% to 95%.

5. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 2 , wherein the low-temperature scavenging passage has a recess located above and near the air filling line, and wherein the recess narrows a passage cross-sectional area of the low-temperature scavenging passage.

6. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 5 , further comprising
an engine main body,
a low-temperature cylinder plug attached to the engine main body and defining a passage shape of the low-temperature scavenging passage, and
a high-temperature cylinder plug attached to the engine main body and defining a passage shape of the high-temperature scavenging passage.

7. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 6 , wherein
in comparison between a first passage shape forming surface of the low-temperature cylinder plug and a second passage shape forming surface of the high-temperature cylinder plug, the first passage shape forming surface of the low-temperature cylinder plug has a protruding part, and wherein
the protruding part narrows the passage cross-sectional area of the low-temperature scavenging passage.

8. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 2 , further comprising an air-cooling fan attached to one end part of an engine output shaft, wherein an engine output is taken out from the other end of the engine output shaft, wherein
the low-temperature scavenging passage is located on the air-cooling fan side, and wherein
the high-temperature scavenging passage is located on the engine output side.

9. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 2 , further comprising an air-cooling fan attached to one end part of an engine output shaft, wherein an engine output is taken out from the one end part.

10. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 1 , further comprising
an engine main body,
a low-temperature cylinder plug attached to the engine main body and defiling a passage shape of the low-temperature scavenging passage, and
a high-temperature cylinder plug attached to the engine main body and defining a passage shape of the high-temperature scavenging passage.

11. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 1 , wherein
in comparison between a first passage shape forming surface of the low-temperature cylinder plug and a second passage shape forming surface of the high-temperature cylinder plug, the first passage shape forming surface of the low-temperature cylinder plug has a protruding part, and wherein
the protruding part narrows the passage cross-sectional area of the low-temperature scavenging passage.

12. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 1 , further comprising an air-cooling fan attached to one end part of an engine output shaft, wherein an engine output is taken out from the other end of the engine output shaft, wherein
the low-temperature scavenging passage is located on the air-cooling fan side, and wherein
the high-temperature scavenging passage is located on the engine output side.

13. The leading-air type two-stroke air-cooled engine of claim 1 , further comprising an air-cooling fan attached to one end part of an engine output shaft, wherein an engine output is taken out from the one end part.
