Abstract

[Problem] To provide a carburettor assembly which suppresses dripping of fuel from a nozzle to an air-fuel mixing passage during idling.
[Solution] The carburettor assembly comprises: a fuel chamber 12 for storing a fuel for supply to an air-fuel mixing passage 11 ; a nozzle 13 which comprises a check valve 13 a and discharges the fuel to the air-fuel mixing passage 11 , the nozzle 13 being arranged at a position in the air-fuel mixing passage 11 in which the fuel drops naturally; a plurality of holes 14 for discharging the fuel to the air-fuel mixing passage 11 during idling, at a position in an air-fuel mixture flow downstream from a position of the nozzle 13 in the air-fuel mixing passage 11 ; a fuel passage 15 for connecting the fuel chamber 12 and the nozzle 13 and also connecting the fuel chamber 12 and the plurality of holes 14 ; and a resistor 25 which is arranged in the fuel passage 15 between the fuel chamber 12 and the nozzle 13 , and thereby forms resistance against a fuel flow directed to the nozzle 13.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A carburetor assembly for mixing fuel and air in an air-fuel mixing passage, the carburetor assembly comprising:
a fuel chamber for storing the fuel for supply to the air-fuel mixing passage;
a nozzle which comprises a check valve and discharges the fuel to the air-fuel mixing passage by opening/closing of the check valve;
one or more holes for discharging the fuel to the air-fuel mixing passage during idling, at a position downstream of a position of the nozzle in the air-fuel mixing passage;
a fuel passage for connecting the fuel chamber and the nozzle and also connecting the fuel chamber and the one or more holes; and
a resistor which is arranged in the fuel passage between the fuel chamber and the nozzle, and thereby forms resistance against a fuel flow directed to the nozzle,
wherein the nozzle is arranged at an upper side of the air-fuel mixing passage, and in a regular state, the fuel drops naturally into the air-fuel mixing passage due to its own weight.

2. The carburetor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel passage comprises: a common fuel passage connected to the fuel chamber; a first fuel passage for connecting the common fuel passage and the nozzle; and a second fuel passage for connecting the common fuel passage and the one or more holes.

3. The carburetor assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the first fuel passage comprises a chamber partway between the fuel chamber and the nozzle,
the chamber comprises an inflow port through which the fuel flows in from the fuel chamber, and an outflow port through which the fuel flows out from the chamber to the nozzle, and
the resistor is arranged in at least one of a position of the inflow port and a position of the outflow port.

4. The carburetor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the resistor is formed by a metal mesh sheet.

5. The carburetor assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the resistor is formed by a metal mesh sheet, and
the resistor has a shape capable of mating with the chamber.

6. The carburetor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the air-fuel mixing passage comprises a throttle valve at a position downstream of the position of the nozzle,
there are a plurality of the holes, and
at least one of the plurality of holes is arranged at a position overlapping an opening/closing operating range of the throttle valve inside the air-fuel mixing passage.

7. The carburetor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the check valve is disposed at a passage wall of the air-fuel mixing passage.

8. The carburetor assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the resistor comprises a cylindrical shape configured to close off the inflow port and the outflow port.

9. A carburetor assembly for mixing fuel and air in an air-fuel mixing passage, the carburetor assembly comprising:
a fuel chamber for storing the fuel for supply to the air-fuel mixing passage;
a nozzle which comprises a check valve and discharges the fuel to the air-fuel mixing passage by opening/closing of the check valve;
one or more holes for discharging the fuel to the air-fuel mixing passage during idling, at a position downstream of a position of the nozzle in the air-fuel mixing passage;
a fuel passage for connecting the fuel chamber and the nozzle and also connecting the fuel chamber and the one or more holes; and
a resistor which is arranged in the fuel passage between the fuel chamber and the nozzle, and thereby forms resistance against a fuel flow directed to the nozzle,
wherein the fuel passage comprises: a common fuel passage connected to the fuel chamber; a first fuel passage for connecting the common fuel passage and the nozzle; and a second fuel passage for connecting the common fuel passage and the one or more holes,
wherein the first fuel passage comprises a chamber partway between the fuel chamber and the nozzle,
wherein the chamber comprises an inflow port through which the fuel flows in from the fuel chamber, and an outflow port through which the fuel flows out from the chamber to the nozzle,
wherein the resistor is arranged in at least one of a position of the inflow port and a position of the outflow port,
