Carbon buildup removal device with protection function of vibration detection

Abstract

A carbon buildup removal device with protection function of vibration detection is provided for electrically connecting to an engine from which carbon buildup is to be removed. The carbon buildup removal device includes a gas output unit and a vibration detection unit. The gas output unit outputs a gas that is supplied to the engine. The vibration detection unit includes a vibration detector that detects vibration of the automobile and a controller that is electrically connected to the vibration detector and the gas output unit. By using the vibration detector in combination with the controller, when the engine stops operating or is operating abnormally, power supplied to the gas output unit is cut off so as to prevent excessive accumulation of gas and thus back fire or excessive pressure to thereby improve stability and safety of carbon buildup removal operation of the engine.

Description

(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a carbon buildup removal device, and more particularly to a carbon buildup device with protection function of vibration detection.(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]For a regular automobile engine, due to various factors, such as fuel quality, poor air quality, aging of ignition system, and poor control, impurities and contaminants may get accumulated inside the engine after long term operations. This is the so-called carbon buildup. Excessive buildup of carbon may lead to unsmooth supply of fuel, deterioration of engine performance, knocking, shaking, and easy shut-off.[0003]Referring to FIG. 1, a carbon buildup removal device disclosed in Taiwan Utility Model Publication No. M353996 is shown. The carbon buildup removal device comprises a hydrogen / oxygen generation unit 11, a moisture generation unit 12, and a piping unit 13 connecting between the hydrogen / oxygen generation unit 11 and the moist...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device used to remove carbon buildup in engines. The device has a safety function that detects vibrations in the engine and stops the gas output unit from supplying gas if the engine is not operating normally. This stops the buildup of gas and prevents excessive pressure or back fire, which can improve the stability and safety of the carbon buildup removal operations.

Problems solved by technology

For a regular automobile engine, due to various factors, such as fuel quality, poor air quality, aging of ignition system, and poor control, impurities and contaminants may get accumulated inside the engine after long term operations.

Excessive buildup of carbon may lead to unsmooth supply of fuel, deterioration of engine performance, knocking, shaking, and easy shut-off.

However, when the known carbon buildup removal device is installed on an engine 14 that is of poor maintenance and thus is easy to shut off or runs abnormally after being started up, there is an operation safety concern for the carbon buildup removal process.

When the engine 14 is started up again, back fire may easily occur, jeopardizing the operation and safety of the carbon buildup removal device.
