Hereinafter, a hybrid device for fuel saving of an internal combustion engine according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a system concept for explaining a hybrid apparatus for fuel saving of an internal combustion engine according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a system concept of a hybrid system according to the present invention, Fig. 4 is an illustration of an apparatus for generating an atmospheric pressure plasma used in the present invention to radicalize oxygen in incoming air through a plasma. Fig. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a comparison of a reaction in a cylinder with a conventional technology when a hybrid apparatus for fuel saving of an internal combustion engine according to the present invention is applied.

And FIG. 6 is an illustration of a system concept of another embodiment in which the mounting position of the hybrid device according to the present invention shown in FIG. 2 is changed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hybrid device for reducing fuel in an internal combustion engine according to the present invention operates in the order of intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust using an incoming mixer, A fuel tank (10) for storing fuel used in the cylinder; an air filter (30) for removing foreign matters in the air to be sucked; a fuel tank (10) A mixer 60 for mixing the fuel gas made in the vaporizer 20 and air passed through the air filter 10 and a mixer 60 for mixing the air passed through the air filter 10 and the mixer 60 And an intake manifold 70 that distributes and mixes the mixed mixture to the respective cylinders.

The apparatus includes a plasma atmospheric pressure discharge device 40 for introducing air having foreign substances removed through the air filter 30 into oxygen radicals and supplying the air to the mixing part side, (Or a fuel high energizing device) 50 for introducing the converted fuel into nano-particles and providing it to the mixer 60 side.

2 is a conceptual diagram for comparison with FIG. 1 attached hereto, and FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a position where an actual device is added.

In other words, in the apparatus referred to as the vaporizer 20, the configuration of the injection nozzle or the injector (reference numeral 20B), which is an actual injector, is a fuel supply device 20A. It is preferable that the position of the fuel undifferentator 50 is present between the fuel supply device 20A and the injection nozzle or the injector 20B.

The above-described fuel undifferentator 50 uses an ultrasonic nebulizer which atomizes the fuel in a gaseous state or liquid relative to fine particles of several microns by using ultrasonic waves.

Another idea of the present invention is a high energy generating apparatus which uses high energy to apply high energy to the fuel which is conventionally flowing by using the electric field generated by applying a high frequency to the ferrite core (magnet) . The principle of this high energy device is that a high frequency signal generated through a ballast is transmitted to a coil of an annular magnetic core to form a closed magnetic field inside the magnetic core to generate an annular electric field So that the fuel flowing inside the fuel tube can be made highly energized. Ferrite cores can use high frequencies in the range of 100MHz to 10kHz. For example, 13.56 MHz, 2.65 MHz, 480 kHz, 250 kHz, and 135 kHz.

For the complete combustion of the fuel, it is more preferable to mix the fuel undilating apparatus and the high energy generating apparatus together, but they can also be used individually.

The plasma atmospheric pressure discharge device 40 may be a plasma generating device as shown in FIG. 4. Preferably, the plasma atmospheric pressure discharge device 40 performs oxygen radicaling in the air according to an electrodeless atmospheric pressure discharge method.

Plasma is the material of the fourth state (The Fourth State of Matter), which means that electrons, ions, neutrons, protons, etc. are mixed. When a plasma generator is used, electrons selectively get energy by high frequency and become energy state of high level. It collides with raw material gas (neutron), and more and more electrons, anions, cations, various atoms, Neutrons, and active radicals such as neutrons in an activated state. Charged particles such as ions or electrons are usually reduced rapidly due to the surface reaction when they come into contact with a wall object, so that a sheath of a dark region occurs, and electrons and ions Positive charge particles are in an equilibrium state). This is called glow discharge because most of the light exists. (O ^{2 -} , O ^- ), cations (O ^{2 +} , O ⁺ ), and oxygen atoms (O) in addition to the existing oxygen molecules (O ² ) , Ozone (O ³ ), the active radical (O ³ ) of each neutron, and the like can be additionally generated.

The reactions occurring in the oxygen plasma will be described as an example.

The first reaction is the activation of the oxygen molecule, the second reaction is the dissociation reaction of the oxygen molecule to the oxygen atom, and the third reaction is the activation reaction of the decomposed oxygen atom.

In order to maintain the plasma state, the role of electrons is very important. In order to continuously generate electrons, additional electrons and positive ions are generated through the following ionization reaction.

O ² + e = O ^{2 +} + 2e (molecular oxygen cationization reaction)

O + e = O ⁺ + 2e (oxygen atom cationization reaction)

In addition, oxygen neutrons (molecules, atoms) and the like may be attached with electrons to form anion particles and the like as follows.

O ² + e = O ^{2 -} (oxygen molecule anionization reaction)

O + e = O- (oxygen atom anionization reaction)

The reaction activity of various neutrons is as follows.

O ^* >O> O ³ > O ^{2 *} > O ²

In other words, the oxygen atom (O) or the oxygen molecule (O ² ) has a higher reaction rate than the normal state in the activated state of the atom (O ^* ) or the molecule (O ^{2 *} ), This is because the energy level is higher than that of the oxygen atom (O) or the oxygen molecule (O ² ).

Therefore, oxygen molecules are decomposed into oxygen radicals (O), oxygen radicals (O ^* ), oxygen radicals (O ^* ) or oxygen radicals (O ^{2 *} ) can proceed more complete combustion than when only oxygen molecules are supplied.

Therefore, the most important factor in the combustion reaction is how much oxygen radicals such as highly reactive oxygen atoms (O) and oxygen active radicals (O ^{2 *,} O ^* ) are generated so that they can be transmitted to the inside of the engine without being destroyed .

Thus, the present invention is characterized in that radical oxygen atoms activated through a diode discharge (Dielctric Barrier Discharge) device are generated at a high concentration and supplied to the inside of the engine.

In addition, the reaction occurring in the mixer supplied to the cylinder side can be expressed as shown in FIG. 5, which is extremely expressed to compare the effects of the prior art and the technique of the present invention, I will reveal.

As shown in the above reaction, when the activated state of the oxygen atom or the oxygen atom enters the fuel chamber, the combustion reaction is promoted because the reactivity of the particles with the fuel is superior to that of the oxygen molecule.

Another way of achieving a complete combustion promoting effect is that ozone (O ³ ) enters the combustion reaction much more than oxygen (molecule) enters it, that is, the reaction with the fuel is O ³ > O ² O ³ O ³ Since the degree of reactivity is higher than that of the oxygen molecule O ² , the present invention patent is characterized in that it is possible to separately mount the ozone generating device.

Although ozone can be generated and introduced using a plasma generator, since ozone can be generated and drawn into the combustion chamber by using a method other than the plasma generator, the plasma generator can be separated from the plasma generator, The ozone generator 40 'may be installed as shown in FIG.

Examples of such ozone generating methods include ultraviolet irradiation, silent discharge, and high frequency application. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that a suitable apparatus may be used and used in combination.

In the prior art mixer, the vaporized fuel and air components are simply mixed and condensed through the intake stroke and the compression stroke of the cylinder, and are changed into the thermal environment through the oxidation process of oxygen in the explosion stroke, Other gases, such as nitrogen, chemically react with the byproducts produced by the oxidation of the fuel, and show how the gases are discharged to the atmosphere through the exhaust process.

In this case, since the fuel vaporized in the prior art is large in size and is injected with ordinary oxygen molecules in a normal energy state, the complete combustion process is difficult to be performed, and the chemical reaction is unstable due to the short cycle interval between the explosion stroke and the exhaust stroke. Do. Further, when the cylinder is aged, the incomplete combustion ratio of the fuel rises in the explosion stroke, which is a further problem.

On the contrary, in the present invention, unlike the prior art, the conventional air is first supplied as oxygen radicals using a plasma apparatus, and the fuel is atomized (undifferentiated state) using ultrasonic waves, that is, And applying ultrasound energy to supply it in a state of high energy.

Therefore, when the technique of the present invention is applied, the activated oxygen radicals are easily coupled to each of the undifferentiated and energized fuel particles, so that the fuel in the atomized state reacts with the oxygen radicals in the explosion stroke of the cylinder, .

In addition, in the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned technology, in the present invention, by generating a strong electric field through the high-frequency and ferrite cores, the fuel finely pulverized by ultrasonic waves is generated and supplied to a state of higher energy, have.

That is, the activated oxygen radicals are stably coupled to the undifferentiated and energized fuel, thereby completely burning the fuel through the compression and explosion process of the cylinder, thereby minimizing the incomplete combustion and maximizing the energy efficiency.

As a result, the incomplete combustion rate is reduced, and the emission of harmful combustion pollutants (soot, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide, etc.) to the human body can be minimized.

Therefore, even if the old aged engine cylinder is used, the consumption of fuel through the complete combustion can be reduced if the activated oxygen radical is atomized (undifferentiated) and the high energy fuel is supplied, and the concentration of the harmful substance Can be significantly lowered.

Furthermore, the technology according to the present invention can be easily applied not only to new vehicles but also to many old vehicles which are produced and operated in the past, thereby providing a great help to the national economy as well as the household economy of each individual, It is expected to be able to solve it.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
