    MAGNETIC VALVE RETURN DEVICE
    The subject of the present invention is a magnetic valve return device provided for a valve ignition prechamber or, incidentally, a spark plug with a shuttle electrode, said prechamber and said spark plug themselves being provided for igniting a charge. main introduced into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, by means of a pilot charge ignited by a spark.
    We know the patent application N ° FR 1750264 relating to a valve ignition prechamber which was published on June 14, 2018, and that No. FR 1662254 relating to a spark plug with shuttle electrode published te July 13, 2018 The two said requests belong to the requester.
    The inventions relating to patent applications FR 1750264 and FR 1662254 apply to any reciprocating ignition engine of any type whatsoever whose main charge is greatly diluted with fresh air or with exhaust gases circulated previously cooled. Diluting the main charge with fresh air or cooled exhaust gas increases the average and / or maximum thermodynamic efficiency of said engine and therefore reduces the fuel consumption of said engine for the same work produced.
    The objective of said inventions is to produce a safe ignition and rapid combustion of highly diluted main charges, only such ignition and such combustion making it possible to obtain the desired gains in efficiency.
    The devices described in the applications FR 1750264 and FR 1662254 - although each producing a different result - are based on a similar founding principle. For convenience, we will therefore focus here on the valve ignition prechamber which is the subject of patent application No. FR 1750264.
    Note that according to patent application No. FR 1750264, the combustion chamber of the reciprocating spark ignition engine which receives the invention is connected by a stratification duct to a stratification cavity arranged in the cylinder head of said engine.
    A stratification injector opens into said stratification cavity into which it can inject a pilot charge consisting of an oxidizable fuel-gas mixture that is easily flammable before pressurized by means of compression. Said pilot charge is used to initiate the combustion of a main charge after it has been introduced into the combustion chamber of the reciprocating ignition engine controlled by at least one intake valve and then compressed.
    The combustion of the main charge is triggered by igniting the pilot charge by means of ignition, the latter being able to take the form of a spark plug known per se while an arc electric can be formed between the two electrodes of said spark plug.
    To give as much efficiency as possible to the energy released by the combustion of the pilot charge to trigger the combustion of the main charge, the invention relating to patent application No. FR 1750264 provides in particular for a stratification valve.
    Said valve can either come into contact with a valve obturation seat arranged in the stratification duct in order to close the latter and seal the stratification cavity from the combustion chamber, or come into contact with a valve opening seat also arranged in the stratification duct, and form a torch ignition prechamber through which the stratification cavity is brought into contact with the combustion chamber via gas ejection orifices which open into said bedroom.
    On reading the patent application No. FR 1750264, it is noted that it is the difference between the pressure which prevails in the stratification cavity and that which prevails in the combustion chamber which causes the valve to rest on the seat of the shutter or on the valve opening seat.
    Indeed, if the pressure in the combustion chamber is higher than that in the stratification cavity, the valve is pressed against the valve shutter seat with which it cooperates so as to prohibit the gases contained in the combustion chamber to enter the stratification cavity.
    If, on the contrary, the pressure which prevails in the combustion chamber is lower than that which reigns in the stratification cavity, said valve comes to be pressed against the valve opening seat with which it cooperates so as to form a pre-chamber d ignition by torch, and to put in communication the stratification cavity with the combustion chamber via the gas ejection orifices presented by said prechamber at its periphery.
    Reading the patent application No. FR 1750264, it is also understood that it is advantageous that the volume that together form the stratification cavity and the stratification duct is very small compared to the volume of the engine combustion chamber. with spark ignition. Indeed, the prior compression of the pilot charge by the compression means provided in said request is expensive in energy and reduces the overall efficiency of the spark-ignition engine. It is therefore necessary to minimize the mass and the pressure of said pilot charge.
    However, it is noted that a small volume formed by the stratification cavity and the stratification duct implies a low flow of air available to operate the valve when compression begins by the piston of the engine of the gases contained in the main chamber.
    However, at this precise moment, it is imperative that said valve comes as quickly as possible to be pressed against the valve obturation seat with which it cooperates, this to prevent gases contained in the combustion chamber from entering the duct. stratification.
    In order for the valve to actually come to rest on the valve shutter seat in a sufficiently short time despite the small volume formed by the laminating cavity and the laminating duct, it is necessary to provide very small ejection orifices for the gas. Indeed, said orifices must be sufficiently small and constitute a sufficiently effective brake against the passage of gases from the combustion chamber to the stratification cavity, this to maximize the pressure difference between said chamber and said cavity and allow the valve to be operated .
    This is why the description of the functioning of the invention of patent application No. FR 1750264 mentions a diameter of the gas ejection orifices which is equal to twelve hundredths of a millimeter while the maximum total travel that the stratification valve between the valve closure seat and the valve opening seat is fifteen hundredths of a millimeter.
    Such a small diameter is certainly taken as a non-limiting example. However, it reveals the need to generate a sufficient pressure difference between on the one hand, the face on the cavity side of the valve which is subjected to the pressure of the gases prevailing in the stratification cavity, and on the other hand, the face on the chamber side. said valve subject to the pressure of the gases prevailing in the combustion chamber.
    Because indeed, the description of the functioning of the invention appearing in patent application No. FR 1750264 sets out by way of example that the pilot charge can contain only a point six percent of the fuel that the main charge contains. This leads to a very small total volume formed by the lamination cavity and the lamination duct. Said low volume means that little gas flow is established between the main chamber and the stratification cavity when the gases contained in the main chamber are compressed. This is why, very small diameter gas ejection holes are necessary to produce sufficient force to operate the valve.
    Because indeed, large diameter gas ejection orifices would allow too much gas to enter the stratification cavity coming from the main chamber directly via said orifices. This excessive flow rate established in parallel with that necessary for moving the valve would be to the detriment of the difference between the pressure applied to the face on the cavity side of said valve, and that applied to the face of the chambered side of said valve. Beyond a certain diameter of the gas ejection orifices, said valve can no longer be operated.
    However, very small diameter gas ejection orifices have a major drawback. In fact, when the pilot charge is ignited in the stratification cavity, the resulting combustion suddenly increases the pressure in said cavity. This has the effect of pushing the valve and press it on the valve opening seat with which it cooperates.
    Thus maintained in leaktight contact with said seat, said valve forms the ignition pre-chamber by torch with the stratification duct so that the hot gases of the pilot charge can escape in the form of torches carried at high temperature via the orifices d gas ejection, said torches then entering the volume of the engine combustion chamber to ignite the main charge.
    To guarantee rapid combustion of said main charge and to maximize the efficiency of the spark-ignition engine, it is necessary that said torches- formed of hot gases penetrate sufficiently into the main charge to the point of reaching the peripheral limits of the combustion chamber. However, with the same penetration of said torches, the pressure to be produced in the torch ignition prechamber is all the greater the smaller the diameter of the gas ejection orifices.
    If the gas discharge ports are very small, a very high pressure must be produced in the pre-ignition chamber by torch to generate sufficiently penetrating torches of burning gas. For this, the stratification injector must first introduce the pilot charge into the stratification cavity at a very high pressure which implies that the compression means consume high energy. Thus, very small gas ejection orifices reduce the potential of the invention of patent application No. FR 1750264 to improve the efficiency of the spark ignition engine which receives it.
    The loss of efficiency is not the only drawback of very small gas ejection orifices, however essential for the proper maneuverability of the valve. Indeed, the high pressure that suddenly arises after the pilot charge is ignited by the spark plug has the effect of violently pressing the valve on the valve opening seat with which it cooperates. The resulting shock compromises the longevity of both said valve and said seat, and may even lead to the premature destruction of said valve and said seat.
    This is all the more true since, at the start of compression of the positive-ignition engine, in order for the pressure to operate the valve as efficiently as possible, it is advantageous to minimize the surface area of the valve opening seat, this to maximize the free surface exposed by the chamber side face of the valve to the pressure of the gases contained in the combustion chamber. Indeed, to take off said valve from said seat, the pressure of said gases is exerted only on said free surface.
    However, minimizing the surface of the valve opening seat increases the power specific to the surface of the shock occurring between the valve and said seat, said power being able for example to be expressed in milli joules per square millimeter.
    It is also noted that in practice, nothing dampens you shock the valve and the valve opening seat, which further exacerbates the destructive consequences of said shock for both said valve and said seat.
    Thus, the design of the valve ignition prechamber according to patent application No. FR 1750264 can only result from a compromise between on the one hand, the diameter of the gas ejection orifices and the surface of the seat d opening of the valve necessary for the operation of the valve, and on the other hand, the efficiency of the spark-ignition engine and the life of the valve.
    This is to get out of said compromise and therefore, to maximize the efficiency of any positive-ignition engine that receives the valve ignition prechamber according to patent application No. FR 1750264 without compromising either the maneuverability or the life of the valve that the magnetic valve return device - according to the invention and according to a particular embodiment - allows:
    • To bring back in all cases - when compression begins by the piston of the engine of the gases contained in the main chamber - the valve in contact with the valve shutter seat with which it cooperates, this even if only a low flow of air is available to operate said valve;
    • Dampen the shock between · the valve and the valve opening seat with which it cooperates, without compromising the maneuverability of said valve.
    Taking into account the above, the magnetic valve return device - according to the invention and according to a particular embodiment - therefore allows:
    • Determine, on the sole criterion of the best efficiency of the spark-ignition engine, the diameter of the gas ejection orifices, the total volume formed by the stratification cavity and the stratification duct, and the injection pressure of the pilot charge in said cavity, this without the double constraint of maneuverability and durability of the valve;
    • Maximize the efficiency of the spark-ignition engine and the life of the valve.
    Like the valve ignition prechamber which is the subject of patent application No. FR 1750264 or the spark plug with shuttle electrode which is the subject of patent application No. FR 1662254 to which it is addressed, the magnetic return device valve is expected to be inexpensive to mass produce to remain compatible with the economic constraints of most applications for which it is intended, including cars.
    It is understood that the magnetic valve return device according to the invention can be applied to any internal combustion engine with rotary or alternating internal combustion, of whatever type, whatever the gaseous, liquid or solid fuel. that it consumes, and that its main charge is diluted with EGR cooled or not, with a neutral gas of any kind whatsoever, or with a gas rich in oxygen or in any other oxidizer.
    It is also understood that the pilot charge provided for igniting the main charge of any spark-ignition engine which receives the magnetic valve return device according to the invention may contain a fuel and / or an oxidizer other than the fuel and / or oxidizer which constitutes said main charge.
    The other features of the present invention have been described in the description and in the secondary claims dependent directly or indirectly on the main claim.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
    FIGS. 1 to 6 show the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention, various details of its components, its variants, and its accessories.
    The magnetic valve return device 42 is specially designed for a valve ignition prechamber 1 such as that described in patent application No. FR 1750264, or for a spark plug with a shuttle electrode such as that described in French patent application No. FR 1662254.
    We have seen in Figure 1 that the magnetic valve return device 42 is in particular provided for an internal combustion engine 2 which comprises a cylinder head 3 which covers a cylinder 4 to form with a piston 31 a combustion chamber 5 in which can be introduced a main charge 30, said cylinder head 3 receiving a stratification cavity 6 into which opens on the one hand, a stratification injector 8 which can inject a pilot charge 9 and on the other hand, ignition means 11.
    It is noted that the stratification injector 8 can be of any type without restriction, and be made up of any device capable of introducing into the stratification cavity 6 according to any operating mode whatsoever a pilot charge 9 and this, that the mixture fuel oxidizer AF contained in said charge 9 is formed upstream or downstream of said stratification injector 8 with the possible assistance of another injector either of gas or liquid, or with the assistance of a carburetor known per se.
    Note in FIGS. 2 and 3 that the stratification cavity 6 is connected by a stratification duct 7 to the combustion chamber 5 however that a stratification valve 13 can either close said duct 7 and isolate the stratification cavity 6 from the combustion chamber 5 a side on the cavity side 14 that has said valve 13 then resting on a valve closure seat 18 via a valve side of cavity side 19, or form with said conduit 7 an ignition pre-chamber by torch 23 which puts in communication with the stratification cavity 6 with the combustion chamber 5 by means of at least one gas ejection orifice 24 which comprises said prechamber 23, a chamber side face 15 which presents said valve 13 resting in this case on a valve opening seat 20 via a valve seat on the chamber side 21.
    FIGS. 2 to 6 show that the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention comprises at least one magnetic material 43 which constitutes all or part of the laminating valve 13 and the laminating duct 7, said material 43 possibly being by free of steel or soft iron.
    FIGS. 2 to 6 also show that the magnetic valve return device 42 comprises at least one source of magnetic field 44, the magnetic flux 54 of which passes through the stratification flap 13 and the stratification duct 7 so as to magnetize said flap 13 and said conduit 7 so that said conduit 7 and said valve 13 attract each other, which tends to press the valve seat cavity side 19 on the valve closure seat 18 with which it cooperates.
    As illustrated in FIG. 2, the magnetic field source 44 can be a permanent magnet 53 known per se made for example from ferrite, Neodymium-iron-boron, Samarium-Cobalt, or Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt.
    As an alternative shown in FIG. 3, the magnetic field source 44 can be a coil of conductive wire 51 in which an electric current can flow. In this case, the intensity of the electric current flowing in the coil of conductive wire 51 can be controlled by a computer 52 which can adapt the return power of the stratification valve 13 on its valve closure seat 18 or control said all or nothing reminder, and this for example during the seven hundred and twenty degrees of crankshaft rotation during which the four times of the internal combustion engine 2 are diverted and / or taking into account the speed and the load of said engine 2.
    In FIGS. 1 to 6, it has been shown that the end of the laminating duct 7 which receives the valve opening seat 20 can be an insert 49 on said duct 7, made of a non-magnetic material 50 such as the stainless steel or Inconel, so that the stratification valve 13 is attracted in the direction of the valve closure seat 18 with which it cooperates, and not in the direction of the valve opening seat 20.
    As a variant of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention, the side of the cavity side 14 may include a peripheral circular recess 45 which forms an annular distribution chamber 46.
    In this case, the outside diameter of the valve side cavity side 19 is less than or equal to the inside diameter of said annular chamber 46 while the gases coming from the stratification cavity 6 are distributed in said annular distribution chamber 46, before d 'be ejected into the combustion chamber 5 via the torch ignition prechamber 23 and the gas ejection orifices 24, this after the pilot charge 9 has been ignited by the ignition means 11.
    It is noted that the annular distribution chamber 46 makes it possible to limit the stroke of the stratification valve 13 without significantly limiting the gas flow rate which is established from the stratification cavity 6 in the direction of the ignition pre-chamber by torch 23.
    This allows on the one hand, to keep a sufficient magnetic force of attraction between the stratification valve 13 and the stratification duct 7 and on the other hand, to guarantee that said valve 13 is still pressed against the valve closure seat 18 parallel to the latter without ever being able to remain blocked across the laminating duct 7 because at the level of the valve shutter seat 18, the magnetic field lines are not normal to the surface of said seat 18.
    Note in Figures 1 to 6 that according to a variant of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention ·, the diameter of the end of the laminating duct 7 which opens into the combustion chamber 5 can be locally greatly reduced to constitute a gas throttle orifice 47, said end thus forming, with the face on the chamber side 15, a valve damping chamber 48 whose volume is maximum when the valve side of the cavity side 19 is in contact with the obturation seat of valve 18 with which it cooperates.
    According to this variant, the damping chamber of the valve 48 is advantageously provided to limit the power of the shock when the valve surface on the chamber side 21 comes into contact with the valve opening seat 20 with which it cooperates.
    The limitation of the impact power stems from the fact that the gases trapped in the damping chamber rise in pressure under the effect of the displacement of the stratification valve 13 in the direction of the valve opening seat 20, said gases. braking the stratification valve 13 before escaping through the throttle orifice 47.
    By way of refinement of said variant, the outside diameters of the valve side bearing surface 21 and of the valve opening seat 20 may be close to the outside diameter of the laminating valve 13 while. the internal diameters of said seat 21 and of said seat 20 are close to the diameter of the gas throttle orifice 47.
    It will be noted that this particular arrangement of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention makes it possible to maximize the efficiency of the valve damping chamber 48 in absorbing the shocks occurring between the valve range on the chamber side 21 and the seat of the valve. valve opening 20 with which it cooperates. This results from the gas flushing effect which occurs between said seat 21 and said seat 20 when the latter are very close to each other.
    The improvements and improvements which have just been described and which form the magnetic valve return device according to the invention 42 apply to the inventions of patent applications FR 1750264 and FR 1662254 even when said inventions take the form of a candle ignition system which directly incorporates either a valve or an electro-vane.
    It will be noted that the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention is particularly suitable for cylinder heads 3 made of non-magnetic aluminum alloy, widespread in the automotive industry. Indeed, applied to such cylinder heads 3, the operation of said device 42 is only little or not disturbed by its environment
    FUNCTIONING OF THE INVENTION:
    The operation of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention provided for a valve ignition prechamber 1 is easily understood from the view of FIGS. 1 to 6.
    We see in Figure 1 that according to a non-limiting example of application of the magnetic valve return device-42, the latter can be implemented in an internal combustion engine 2 which has a valve ignition prechamber 1 such as described in patent application No. FR 1750264.
    It will be noted that - as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 - said prechamber 1 notably includes a stratification cavity 6 into which open ignition means 11 and a stratification injector 8, a stratification duct 7, and a stratification valve 13 .
    In FIG. 6, it is noted that the stratification valve 13 can form a torch ignition prechamber 23 with the stratification duct 7, said prechamber 23 communicating simultaneously on the one hand, with the stratification cavity 6, and on the other hand part and by means of gas ejection orifices 24, with a combustion chamber 5 which comprises the internal combustion engine 2.
    In addition to said prechamber 1, it can be seen in FIG. 1 that said engine 2 comprises a cylinder head 3 which has cooling water chambers 41 and which covers a cylinder 4 to form with a piston 31 the combustion chamber 5 in which can be burned a main load 30.
    Note in FIG. 1 that the piston 31 is connected to a crankshaft 37 by means of a connecting rod 38, said piston 31 imparting to said crankshaft 37 a rotational movement when said piston 31 is driven in an alternating translational movement in cylinder 4.
    It can also be seen in FIG. 1 that the combustion chamber 5 can be brought into communication with an intake duct 32 by an intake valve 34, said chamber 5 can also be brought into communication with an exhaust duct 33 by a exhaust valve 35.
    Figures 1 to 6 taken by way of non-limiting example to illustrate the operation of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention show that the ignition means 11 consist of a spark plug 12 known in self, the ground electrodes 39 and the central electrode 40 open into the stratification cavity 6.
    Note also in FIGS. 1 to 3 the stratification injector 8 which can inject a pilot charge 9 into the stratification cavity 6 via an injector outlet duct 28,
    In FIG. 1, it can be seen that a stratification compressor 36 forms compression means 10 - to pressurize an easily flammable oxidant-fuel mixture AF which forms a pilot charge 9, the latter being intended to be injected into the cavity stratification 6 by the stratification injector 8.
    The founding principle of the valve ignition prechamber 1 remains unchanged compared to that described in patent application No. FR 1750264, we will focus here. on the features conferred by the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention in the operation of said prechamber 1.
    To detail the operation of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention, we will assume that the source of magnetic field- 44 consists of a permanent magnet 53 as illustrated in FIG. 2.
    We will also retain the example of embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 6 in which we note that the valve opening seat 20 is an insert 49 on the laminating duct 7 said part 49 being made of a non-magnetic material 50 - in this case stainless steel, while the cavity side face 14 of the stratification valve 13 comprises a peripheral circular recess 45 which forms an annular distribution chamber 46.
    Note in Figures 2 to 6 that advantageously, the insert 49 includes a cooling ring 55 which allows it to cool effectively in contact with the cylinder head 3, said ring 55 forming a thermal bridge between said part 49 and said cylinder head 3 .
    It will be noted in FIGS. 2 to 6 that at least the stratification cavity 6 and the stratification duct 7 can be produced in the same piece of magnetic material 43 whose external wall is wholly or partly in contact with a cooling liquid which circulates in the cooling water chambers 41 fitted in the cylinder head 3.
    will also hold the particular configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 according to which the diameter of the end of the stratification duct 7 which opens into the combustion chamber 5 is locally greatly reduced to constitute a gas throttling orifice 47 which forms , with said conduit 7 and the chamber side face 15 of the stratification valve 13, a valve damping chamber 48.
    We will also retain the variant of said configuration which provides that the outside diameters of the valve side chamber 21 and of the valve opening seat 20 are close to the outside diameter of the stratification valve 13 while the internal diameters of said seat 21 and said seat 20 are close to the diameter of the gas throttle orifice 47.
    FIG. 4 illustrates that, according to the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention, the magnetic flux 54 - here symbolized by long dotted lines - is channeled by the magnetic material 43 - of which the stratification valve 13 is made and the laminating duct 7, in this case and according to this non-limiting example, of steel.
    Thus magnetized, the stratification valve 13 and the stratification duct 7 attract each other so that said valve 13 has a natural tendency to come to be pressed against the valve closure seat 18 with which it cooperates. .
    The end of the stratification duct 7 which receives the valve opening seat 20 being an insert 49 made of a non-magnetic material 50, the stratification valve 13 is attracted only in the direction of the valve closure seat 18 with which it cooperates, and not in the direction of the valve opening seat 20.
    It follows from the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention that, contrary to what is described in patent application No. FR 1750264, this is no longer only because the pressure prevailing in the combustion chamber 11 is greater than that prevailing in the stratification cavity 6 that the stratification valve 13 closes the stratification duct 7, but also because said valve 13 is invited there by the magnetic field to which the permanent magnet 53 is subjected, which shows clearly figure 4.
    Taking into account the above, it can be seen that the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention makes it possible to determine, on the one hand, the total volume formed by the stratification cavity 6 and the stratification duct 7, and d on the other hand, the diameter of the gas ejection orifices 24, this on the sole criterion of better efficiency of the internal combustion engine 2 and no longer on a criterion of maneuverability of the stratification valve 13.
    Thus, these choices can be made -without being excessively determining the pressure difference necessary for the obturation by the stratification valve · 13 of the stratification duct 7 in particular when the compression of the main charge 30 previously admitted into the chamber begins. combustion 5 by the intake valve 34.
    In addition to great freedom to optimize the efficiency of the internal combustion engine 2, the result of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention is a lower sensitivity of the operation of the stratification valve 13 to the speed of rotation of said engine 2, obtaining of the pressure difference necessary for obturation by said valve 13 of the laminating duct 7 being according to patent application No. FR 1750264 largely dependent on said speed.
    Thus and as can easily be deduced from FIG. 4, the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention provides that the closure by the stratification valve 13 of the stratification duct 7 results, not only from the difference in pressure between that prevailing in the combustion chamber 5 and that prevailing in the stratification cavity 6 as provided for by the invention described in patent application N 6 FR 1750264, but also by the magnetic return force exerted by the permanent magnet 53 on the stratification valve 13.
    Note that the magnetic return force has practically no effect on the correct opening by the stratification valve 13 of the stratification duct 7 when the pilot charge 9 is ignited by the spark plug 12 as illustrated in FIG. 5. In fact, following said firing, the force to which the pressure of the combustion gases · contained in the stratification cavity 6 subjects the cavity side face 14 of said valve 13 is considerably higher that the magnetic return force exerted by the permanent magnet 53 on said valve 13.
    Note that the lesser dependence of the closure of the stratification duct 7 by the stratification valve 13 to the difference between the pressure exerted on the face on the cavity side 14 and that exerted on the face on the chamber side 15 of said valve 13 also makes it possible to determine more freely the diameter of the termination of the stratification duct 7 which opens into the combustion chamber 5.
    Indeed, the invention relating to patent application No. FR 1750264 requires that the chamber side face 15 expose the largest possible surface to the pressure of the gases contained in the combustion chamber 5 to allow the correct operation of the check valve. stratification 13 when it must close the stratification duct 7 in particular when compression of the main charge 30 previously admitted into the combustion chamber 5 begins via the intake valve 34. For this, it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the radial length of the valve opening seat 20 with which the valve side chamber 21 cooperates.
    Insofar as the closing return of the stratification duct 7 of the stratification valve 13 is only marginally dependent on the pressure of the gases and is mainly provided by the magnetic attraction force generated by the permanent magnet 53, it becomes possible to greatly reduce the surface exposed to the gas pressure of the chamber side face 15 when the valve side chamber side 21 is in contact with the valve opening seat 20 with which it cooperates. This is achieved by greatly increasing the radial length of the valve opening seat 20, to the point that there remains only the end of the stratification duct 7 which opens into the combustion chamber 5 than an orifice throttling of small diameter gases 47 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.
    This particular configuration made possible by the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention makes it possible to form a valve damping chamber 48 whose volume is maximum when the valve side of the cavity side 19 is in contact with the seat. shutter valve 18 with which it cooperates as shown in Figures 1 to 4.
    It will be noted that the damping chamber of the valve 48 is an advantageous consequence of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention, the said chamber 48 being decisive for giving the stratification valve 13 a high robustness and a long service life.
    In fact, as illustrated in FIG. 5, when, following the ignition of the pilot charge 9 by the spark plug 12, the stratification valve 13 moves in the direction of the valve opening seat 20, said valve 13 expels the gases contained in the damping chamber 48 through the gas throttle orifice 47 to the combustion chamber 5.
    In doing so, said valve 13 causes a "flushing effect" which expels the gases trapped between the valve seat chamber side 21 and the valve opening seat 20 in the direction of the gas throttle orifice 47. Said " flushing effect "slows down said valve 13.
    In addition, the gas throttle orifice 47 slows the flow of gases from the damping chamber of the valve 48 to the combustion chamber 5 which contributes to the braking of the stratification valve 13.
    It will be noted that the braking of the stratification valve 13 which results from the "flushing effect" and from the throttling of the gases is all the more intense the closer the valve side of chamber side 21 is to the valve opening seat. 20 with which it cooperates.
    This feature allows, firstly illustrated in Figure 5, to ensure rapid movement of the valve. stratification 13 in the direction of the valve opening seat 20 to close the ignition pre-chamber by torch 23 and eject via the gas ejection orifices 24 the hot gases which result from the combustion of the pilot charge 9, this for switch on the main load 30. In a second step shown in FIG. 6, said particular feature ensures a gentle resting of the valve side bearing surface 21 on the valve opening seat 20, this in order to give the stratification valve 13 durability maximum.
    It will be noted that in order to return to contact with the valve shutter seat 18 via its valve seat on the cavity side 19, the stratification valve 13 has a lot of time because as soon as the pilot load 9 has finished burning and that most of the gases which made it up were ejected in the form of torches brought to high temperature via the gas ejection orifices 24, the pressure which reigns in the combustion chamber 5 quickly becomes higher than that which reigns in the cavity stratification 6.
    Thus, under the combined effect of this pressure difference and the magnetic return force exerted by the permanent magnet 53 on the stratification valve 13, the latter returns in a few degrees of rotation of the crankshaft 37 in contact with the seat. shutter valve 18 through its valve seat on the cavity side 19.
    Then and as long as the ignition of a new pilot charge 9 is not triggered, the stratification valve 13 can slightly open to let a few cubic millimeters of gas pass from the stratification duct 7 to the combustion 5, but without fully opening It results from this situation that the stratification valve 13 10 remains mainly in contact with the valve closure seat 18, ready to start a four-stroke thermodynamic cycle of the internal combustion engine 2 , cycle which can be considered to start when a new main charge · 30 is introduced into the combustion chamber 5 by the intake valve 34.
    Note that by maintaining the stratification valve 13 most of the time in contact with the valve closure seat 18 with which it cooperates, the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention limits the intrusion of burnt gases. residual of the main charge 30 in the stratification cavity 6 at the start of compression of said charge 30. This is favorable to maximum efficiency of the pilot charge 9 in igniting the main charge 30.
    As explained above, the face on the cavity side 14 may advantageously include a peripheral circular recess 45 which forms an annular distribution chamber 46, the outside diameter of the valve-side bearing surface 19 then being less than or equal to the inside diameter of said annular chamber 46. The annular distribution chamber in question is particularly visible in FIG. 4.
    This particular configuration of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention makes it possible to limit the stroke of the stratification valve 13 without significantly limiting the gas flow rate which is established following the ignition of the pilot charge 9 from the . stratification cavity 6 towards the torch ignition prechamber 23.
    The magnetic attraction force exerted by the stratification duct 7 on the stratification flap 13 being approximately inversely proportional to the square of the distance which separates said flap 13 from said duct 7, reducing the stroke of said flap 13 by thirty percent allows doubling said force at the same power of the permanent magnet 53 when the valve seat side chamber 21 is in contact with the valve opening seat 20 with which it cooperates.
    In addition, the reduction in the stroke of the stratification valve 13 that the annular distribution chamber 46 allows without compromising the proper flow of gases makes it possible to guarantee that said valve 13 is still pressed against the valve closure seat 18 with which it cooperates parallel to the latter without risking being blocked across the stratification duct 7 because at the level of the valve shutter seat 18, the lines 45 of magnetic field are not normal to the surface of said seat 18 .
    It is noted that the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention in no way diminishes your performance of the inventions relating to patent applications FR 1750264 and FR 1662254 to which it advantageously applies. On the contrary, it substantially improves its effectiveness.
    It should also be noted that the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention can be applied to fields other than internal combustion engines such as gas nailers, firearms, or any other device requiring the ignition of a main charge by means of a pilot charge with the best possible efficiency.
    The possibilities of the magnetic valve return device 42 according to the invention are not limited to the applications which have just been described and it should moreover be understood that the above description has been given only by way of of example and that it in no way limits the field of said invention from which one would not depart by replacing the details of execution described by any other equivalent.
