Abstract
A mechanical governor for an internal combustion engine with a measuring element optimized with respect to weight and working capacity. The governor sleeve is of a thin-walled, light weight construction and centrifugal weights are provided which have stops to prevent collision and entanglement with the governor sleeve. The bearing pins for the centrifugal weights are located near the radially outer circumference of the governor configuration.
Claims15
In a mechanical governor for an internal combustion engine, having at least two angle-shaped centrifugal weights, pivotably supported on a centrifugal weight carrier in circumferentially spaced brackets, an axially shiftable governor sleeve slidable on a shaft journal, said governor sleeve being thin-walled structural part, having an operative connection with said centrifugal weights, engageable abutments on said centrifugal weights and governor sleeve, a sliding inner diameter cylindrical surface on said governor sleeve in sliding engagement with said shaft journal and circumferential grooves in said sleeve at the opposite ends of said cylindrical surface.
A mechanical governor for an internal combustion engine comprising:
- a rotatable shaft extension presenting a journal,
- a centrifugal weight carrier mounted on, and rotating with said shaft extension, said weight carrier presenting circumferentially spaced brackets.
- a plurality of angularly shaped centrifugal weights,
- bearing pins pivotally supporting said centrifugal weights on said brackets,
- a governor sleeve mounted on said shaft extension and having
- a cylindrical pipe part presenting an inner diameter surface in sliding engagement with said shaft journal permitting axial movement of said sleeve relative to said journal,
- flanges secured to and extending radially outward from axially opposite ends of said cylindrical part and
- a ring of plastic disposed between said flanges and surrounding said pipe part,
- axially engageable abutments on said centrifugal weight and the axially outer side of one of said flanges whereby said sleeve is shifted axially upon outward swinging movement of said centrifugal weight, and
- a stop on said centrifugal weight radially engaging the radially outer periphery of said plastic ring when said shaft extension is not rotating.
