- Switching cock CO The cock-shaped plug body 38 that is rotatably provided in the cock case 20 includes an arc-shaped first communication groove 745 (1) and a second communication groove 745 (2) 1
- the plug body 38 The first communication and groove 745 (1) communicates with the first and second ports 21 and 22 provided in the cock case 20 on a concentric circle with the rotation center as the center.
- plug cock 38 of switching cock CO is held in the open position shown in FIG. 21, and first communication groove 745 (1) of plug 38 is connected to first port 21 and second port. Keep port 22 in communication.
- the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are kept in a shut-off state, and the second communication groove 745 (2) communicates the third port 23 with the atmosphere communication port 30.
- the fuel supply passage 15 is in a communicating state, and the fuel in the fuel tank TF is supplied to the float chamber 10 of the carburetor CA, and the sealed air chamber A of the fuel tank TF is communicated with the atmosphere. If the operation of engine E is started in this state, the intake negative pressure in the intake passage 8 acts on the negative pressure surge tank TS via the negative pressure passage 17, and the negative pressure is fed to the tank TS.
- the plug body 38 of the switching cock CO is rotated counterclockwise from the operating position of FIG. 21 as shown in FIG. 22 (a). Hold in the closed position.
- the first and second communication grooves 745 (1) and 745 (2) of the plug body 38 of the switching cock C come to the neutral position, and the plug body 38 has the first port 21 and the second port. Since both 22 and the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are cut off, the fuel supply passage 15 is cut off, the fuel supply from the fuel tank TF to the float chamber 10 is cut off, and The negative pressure passage 17 is kept in a shut-off state, and the sealed air chamber A of the fuel tank TF is disconnected from the atmosphere.
- the stopper 38 of the switching cock CO is turned counterclockwise.
- the plug 38 shuts off the first port 21 and the second port 22 and connects the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 while keeping the fuel supply passage 15 in the shut-off state.
- the negative pressure passage 17 is in communication with each other, the negative pressure in the negative pressure surge tank TS that has already been accumulated directly acts on the sealed air chamber A of the fuel tank TF through the negative pressure passage 17.
- the air chamber A is brought into a high negative pressure state.
- the residual fuel in the float chamber 10 is sucked up into the air chamber A of the fuel tank TF.
- the negative pressure in the negative pressure surge tank TS can be directly applied to the sealed air chamber A of the fuel tank TF.
- the remaining fuel in the float chamber 10 can be automatically returned to the fuel tank TF.
- FIG. 18B shows a modification of the eighth embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 18B the same elements as those in the eighth embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- a one-way valve V is interposed in the middle of a fuel supply passage 16 that connects the sealed fuel tank TF and the float chamber 10. This one-way valve V prevents the fuel flowing through the fuel supply passage 16 from flowing back from the fuel tank TF to the float chamber 19, so that the air in the fuel tank TF floats during operation of the engine E. The fuel in the chamber 10 does not get mixed.
- FIGS. 23 and 24 the same elements as those in the eighth embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- the ninth embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of the eighth embodiment, and the structure of the plug body 38 of the switching cock CO is slightly different from that of the eighth embodiment. That is, the plug body 38 is drilled.
- the arc-shaped first and second communication grooves 845 (1) and 845 (2) are arranged on the concentric circle centering on the rotation center of the plug body 38 and shifted in the circumferential direction and the radial direction. Yes.
- the plug 38 of the switching cock CO When used for engine E, the plug 38 of the switching cock CO is held in the open position shown in FIG. 23, and the first communication groove 845 (1) of the plug 38 is connected to the first port 21 and the second port. Port 22 is kept in communication, the third port 23 and fourth port 24 are kept in a shut-off state, and the second communication groove 845 (2) connects the third port 23 to atmospheric communication. It communicates with mouth 30.
- the fuel supply passage 15 is in communication, and the fuel in the fuel tank TF is supplied to the float chamber 10 of the carburetor CA, and the air chamber A of the fuel tank TF is communicated with the atmosphere. If the engine E is operated in this state, the intake negative pressure in the intake passage 8 acts on the negative pressure surge tank TS via the negative pressure passage 17, and the negative pressure is fed to the tank TS.
- the negative pressure for operating the residual fuel automatic extraction device of the carburetor CA is taken out from the intake passage 8 of the ventilation system of the engine E.
- the negative pressure is taken out from the crank chamber 13 of the engine E, and the other configurations are the same as those in the eighth and ninth embodiments.
- a negative pressure outlet 14 is opened on one side of the crank chamber 13, and a negative pressure passage 17 communicating with the negative pressure surge tank TS is connected to the negative pressure outlet 14.
- the negative pressure in the crank chamber 13 generated by the operation of the engine E is accumulated in the negative pressure surge tank TS via the one-way valve 18 and used as a power source for the automatic extraction of the residual fuel of the carburetor CA. .
- the force S described when the residual fuel automatic sampling device of the carburetor is implemented in a general-purpose engine of an OHC type four cycle, this is applied to another engine equipped with a float carburetor.
- this is applied to another engine equipped with a float carburetor.
- it can also be implemented.
