摘要:
An OHC vertical crankshaft engine, comprising: a vertically disposed crankshaft having a first timing pulley at its lower end; a cooling fan attached to an upper end of the crankshaft; a camshaft extending in parallel with the crankshaft at a cylinder head end of the engine and having a second timing pulley at its lower end; and a timing belt passed around the timing pulleys. Thus, the need for lubrication for the transmission mechanism between the crankshaft and the camshaft is substantially eliminated, and the noise generation is reduced. Additionally, since the upper part of the cylinder head is directly exposed to the cooling air produced by a fan provided at an upper end of the crankshaft, a high engine cooling efficiency can be achieved. This effect is even more enhanced if the exhaust port of the engine is disposed above the intake port and extends horizontally and linearly away from the engine.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for controlling the decompression of an internal combustion engine for driving compressors, electric generators, and the like, the process including the steps of starting the engine with the decompression control engaged and the engine decompressed, partially activating the control when the engine reaches a first predetermined speed so that, as the speed is increased, the engine operates compressed, when the engine reaches normal operating speed, fully activating the control and, when the engine speed is decreased to a second predetermined speed below said normal operating speed but above said first predetermined speed, the control is reactivated for decompression operation of the engine until the engine stops. The apparatus comprises a decompression weight and subsidiary decompression weight, pivotally mounted for movement by centrifugal force relative to the engine cam shaft and interconnecting means for interconnecting the weights when the engine is started and until the engine reaches a first predetermined speed, releasing the weights, one from the other, above such predetermined speed, and re-engaging the weights after the engine is stopped.
