System:

[0060] With reference to the figures, an anti-reversion system, a reed valve system, a reed valve as an anti-reversion apparatus, an engine assembly, and methods of use 10 are presented. Anti-reversion system, a reed valve system, a reed valve as an anti-reversion apparatus, an engine assembly, and methods of use 10 (hereafter referred to as anti-reversion system, reed valve system, reed valve engine system, engine assembly, intake tract implementation, or simply system) is formed of any suitable size, shape and design.

[0061] In the arrangement shown, as one example, anti-reversion reed valve assembly system 10 includes, in the embodiment(s) depicted, a vehicle, an intake tract 14, an air flow and/or an air flow direction and/or an air flow intake 15, a reed valve 16, a reed valve block and/or reed block 18, an engine and/or an internal combustion engine 20, a two stroke engine 21, a four stroke engine 22, a crankshaft of the engine 20, an exhaust camshaft 40 of the engine 20, an intel camshaft 50 of the engine 20, a piston 60 of the engine 20, a connecting rod 70 of the engine 20, a spark plug 80 of the engine 20, a plurality of valves 90 of the engine 20, a cooling water jacket and/or cooling feature of the engine 20, an engine block 110 of the engine 20, a liquid fuel 120 of the engine 20, an ignition source 130 of the engine 20, a plurality of gasses 140, an intake manifold 160 of the engine 20, an exhaust of the engine 20, among other components, features, and functions.

[0062] In the arrangement shown, as one example, system 10 also may include a measurement or active revolutions per minute (RPM), torque measurements and/or active torque, efficiency metrics, horsepower and/or active horsepower, peak ratings, high RPM, low RPM, intakes, exhausts, intake metrics, exhaust metrics, air contents, gas metrics, gas contents in air, reversion ratings, various types of cams, various cam profiles, timing and/or cam timing, various motor types, gears, chains tensioners, tension metrics, chargers, superchargers, explosions, alternative valve types, and more.

[0063] In this way, and in the arrangement shown as one example, along with various embodiments considered herein, system 10 is configured to provide the state of the art with an anti-reversion system formed from implementation of a reed valve, as shown herein. In the arrangement shown, as one example, system 10 is configured to provide a reed valve placed in the intake tract of a four-cycle engine to eliminate the reversion effect of the intake charge, which commonly occurs below peak efficiency.

[0064] In the arrangement shown, as one example, a reed valve is implemented in a four-cycle engine in this way to increase low RPM torque and/or low RPM horsepower in internal combustion engines and the like. Said another way, the reed valve implementation herein provides for a cam configuration which allows high RPM peak horsepower and high torque while the engine operates in an under peak RPM range.

[0065] In the arrangement shown, as one example, the system is shown with a dry system with an F.I. in between the reed valve and the head with the reed as close as possible to the head. Other reed valve locations within the intake tract are also hereby contemplated for use. In this way, various cam profiles that allow for various engine operations and applications can be utilized. Additionally, and in this way, various torque levels can be achieved in various usable RPM ranges. Furthermore, by this implementation of a reed valve in the intake tract, and at various applications within the intake tract, varying the distance from the head, provides for tuning high RPM and/or horsepower while persevering lower RPM efficiencies and timing. In this way, the reed valve can be applied to various engine types for various applications.

[0066] Furthermore, and in the arrangement shown, as one example, system 10 includes in yet another embodiment the application of a reed valve placed in the intake track of a four stroke or four cycle engine with any number of cylinders. Various cylinder numbers are hereby contemplated for use. This may include, but is not limited to, a single cylinder, two cylinders, three cylinders, four cylinders, five cylinders, six cylinders, seven cylinders, eight cylinders, nine cylinders, ten cylinders, eleven cylinders, twelve cylinders, or more.

[0067] Furthermore, and in the arrangement shown as one example, the reed valve location in the intake track eliminates and/or nearly eliminates reversion effect (which occurs in known applications in the state of the art when the piston is on moving back from the bottom or moving within the cylinder). The reversion eliminated, in one example, is when fuel and pressure are forced by the piston movement back into the intake track. This is a well known problem which has plagued the state of the art for decades. More specifically, in one example, this problem plagues variable cam, timing, and all kinds of other mechanical devices. However, the system 10 solves this problem, even if the cam is tuned for high RPM and for maximizing torque within a predetermined power ban and/or range of that particular cam. Said another way, by eliminating the reversion effect through the design and placement of the reed valve as shown herein, more torque can be produced by an engine and more power utilizing the same cam as compared to an engine without the present novel invention and heavily researched and development implementation. In this way, a more usable RPM range is achieved, and achievable with more engine types.

[0068] Furthermore, the present disclosure solves additional long-felt needs in the art with additional features and functionality. System 10 provides for the elimination of a problem which has plagued the state of the art regarding variable valve timing. The present systems struggle with variable valve timing due to current valves required and utilized. System 10 eliminates these issues through the elimination of moving parts and the like. Thus, system 10 provides increased reliability and provides lower maintenance costs.

[0069] In addition to the above identified features, options, controls, and components, system 10 may also include other features and functionalities, among other options, controls, and components.

In Operation:

[0070] In one example, an anti-reversion system, a reed valve system, a reed valve as an anti-reversion apparatus, an engine assembly, and methods of use 10 are in operation in an engine which may be located in a motor vehicle. These motor vehicles are not limited to automobiles or cars but may also be located in motorcycles, boats, recreational vehicles, construction equipment, lawn mowers, and other engine applications where anti-reversion is desired and effective. In operation, the present disclosure provides a more efficient means of fuel consumption by an internal combustion engine.

[0071] In operation, the present disclosure can be easily compared with engines existing in the state of the art. Present engines suffer from reversion effect, a well known plague to the art which decreases fuel efficiency, operation efficiency, lowers torque, and lowers RPM operation range for various applications.

[0072] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other various modifications could be made to the system, process, and method of use without parting from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. All such modifications and changes fall within the scope of the claims and are intended to be covered thereby.
