Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements in gas engine regulators. [Prior Art] Conventionally, a liquefied gas such as LPG is used as a fuel for a liquefied gas engine. At the time of vaporization of the liquefied gas, the tar is separated from the gas' and adversely affects the components disposed on the fuel passage. For example, the tar adheres to a rubber portion such as a diaphragm that degrades the rubber portion, attaches to the fuel nozzle, blocks the holes, and adheres to the valve, which improperly positions the valves on the valve seat. In order to avoid this and other problems, the technology is proposed to separate and collect tar from self-gasified fuel, as described in the following documents, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. S53-1 60526 (Patent Document 1), after Japanese Patent Examination Announcement No. S59-7022 (Patent Document 2), Japanese Patent Examination Announcement No. S59-22063 (Patent Document 3), Japanese Patent Examination Announcement No. S63-8 3 09 (Patent Document 4) and Japanese Patent First Disclosure Application No. 20〇7-64〇36 (Patent Document 5). Patent Document 1 discloses a vaporizer having a partition that partitions the inside of the vaporizer into an upper vaporization chamber and a lower tar chamber. The interior of the vaporization chamber includes a complex structure. At the time of introduction of the vaporization of the liquefied gas in the vaporization chamber, the tar is separated from the gas and collected in the tar chamber through the through holes formed in the separator. Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 disclose dissimilar configurations. In the lower temperature environment, it is likely that the unvaporized liquefied gas contacts the separated tar, and the tar is melted into the unliquefied gas and flows together downstream _ t b? -5 - 201124613. In order to prevent this, Patent Document 4 discloses a configuration in which a fuel passage switching plate is provided for switching from a low-temperature fuel supply passage to a fuel supply passage for use at a high temperature to prevent the separated tar from contacting and melting at a low temperature. Into the liquefied fuel gas that is not vaporized. Patent Document 5 discloses a removal device having a filter disposed on a fuel line upstream of a vaporizer for removing a gum material contained in a liquefied gas. The complicated structure of the interior of the carburetor results in an undesirably large configuration such as Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3. The average person may think of providing complex structures in small, general-purpose applications where space is limited and the engine is difficult to mold. Furthermore, tar tends to accumulate in the synthetic configuration, and a large amount of pressure loss can occur. In the configuration of Patent Document 4, the structure for tar separation and collection is complicated due to the arrangement of the plates for tar separation and collection. In the configuration of Patent Document 5, when the filter is small, the mesh may be clogged with gum, which requires frequent maintenance operations. The gum removal device becomes larger when large filters are utilized to avoid frequent maintenance operations. In the configurations of Patent Documents 1 to 4, engine cooling water is circulated to the respective vaporizers to promote vaporization of the liquefied gas fuel and efficiently separate from the gasification fuel. For example, such a configuration is difficult to apply to small general purpose engines because general purpose engines are typically air cooled and the efficient use of engine heat is difficult to achieve. Therefore, there is a need for an alternative structure that can be utilized in such an engine for efficient separation and collection from its vaporized fuel. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gasification engine regulator that can be applied not only to small general-purpose engines, but also to a small and simple construction, and that can efficiently separate and collect tar from a gasified fuel. And prevent the tar from flowing downwards. According to the present invention, there is provided a gasification engine regulator adapted to be disposed in a fuel supply passage for supplying liquefied gas fuel from a fuel supply source to a gas engine for converting the liquefied gas fuel into a gaseous form Under reduced pressure, the regulator includes: a decompression chamber defined inside the regulator, and having a gas inlet through which the liquefied gas fuel enters and a gas outlet through which the liquefied gas fuel is discharged, the gas inlet is disposed at One end side of the decompression chamber, the gas outlet is disposed on an opposite end side laterally spaced from the one end side via a space; and a partition wall disposed to surround the gas outlet and having a communication with the gas outlet A gas passage having a gas passage inlet disposed at an upper portion of the gas inlet. The vaporized fuel resulting from the vaporization of the liquefied gas fuel flows into the decompression chamber through the gas inlet, and passes through the space to the passage inlet of the gas passage disposed above the gas inlet. Then, the vaporized fuel enters the gas passage via the passage inlet, and is discharged downward through the gas outlet communicating with the gas passage. The tar separated from the liquefied gas fuel at the time of vaporization of the liquefied gas fuel flows into the decompression chamber through the gas inlet, dripping through the space by gravity and accumulating at the bottom of the regulator. The gas inlet and the gas outlet are respectively disposed at one end of the decompression chamber and the opposite end of 201124613, and the two ends are largely separated. Further, the passage inlet of the gas passage communicating with the gas outlet is disposed above the gas inlet or higher. Therefore, the tar flowing into the decompression chamber through the gas inlet is almost impossible to reach the gas outlet. It has also become possible to make the tar easy to drip through the space by gravity and to collect easily. Therefore, the above configuration enables the complex structure, the filter and the channel switching device required for the conventional configuration, and even the small common engine which is difficult to utilize the heat generated therein to achieve effective separation and collection of the tar to prevent coke and oil The downstream of the fuel supply system flows. In a preferred form, the gasification engine regulator further comprises: a vertical passage in the form of a groove disposed between the partition wall and the peripheral wall of the decompression chamber for allowing passage of tar separated from the liquefied gas fuel . Depending on the passage or the groove, the tar attached to the peripheral wall of the decompression chamber is prevented from entering the gas outlet and thus is prevented from flowing downward when it is previously collected. Desirably, the gasification engine regulator further includes: a pressure regulating valve for opening/closing the gas inlet; a regulator lever unit mounted to the pressure regulating valve; and a diaphragm for covering an upper end of the decompression chamber An opening having a pivot located in a portion proximate the pressure regulating valve and coupled to a diaphragm positioned away from the pressure regulating valve; a diaphragm stop configured to be adjacent the gas inlet and Above the gas inlet, for restricting movement of the diaphragm toward the decompression chamber; and a rib extending between the diaphragm stop and the partition wall. Depending on the ribs, the tar is prevented from entering the gas outlet and is therefore protected from downward flow when it can be collected at the time. The rib may include a shut-off portion provided at a position where the partition wall 78 continues, and the tar is guided by -8-201124613 to flow along the cut-off portion. [Embodiment] Referring now to Figure 1, a fuel supply apparatus 1 includes a small cylinder 12' filled with, for example, 'liquefied butane gas as a liquefied gas fuel and housed in a cylinder casing 11; a manual cock 13 fixedly disposed in the cylinder In the casing 11, for switching between the flow of the liquefied gas fuel from the cylinder and the cutoff of the fuel flow; the carburetor 16 for liquefying the hot body fuel (liquefied butadiene) by the heat generated from the gas engine 14 Converted into a gasification fuel (Dingyuan gas), a shut-off valve 17 for allowing circulation of the fuel vaporized by the vaporizer 16 during operation of the gas engine, and for blocking the flow of the vaporized fuel when the engine is not operating a main regulator 18 formed integrally with the shut-off valve 17 for depressurizing the vaporized fuel to a predetermined pressure, and a secondary regulator 21 for further decompressing the decompressed gasification fuel of the main regulator 18 to Atmospheric pressure. The vaporized fuel decompressed by the secondary regulator 21 is supplied to a mixer 22 where it is mixed with air. The combined gas/fuel mixture is brought into the combustion chamber 14b via the gas inlet 14a of the gas engine. Reference numerals 25 to 27 designate the fuel line. The negative pressure line 28 communicates the shutoff valve 17 with the crankcase 14c of the gas engine 14. The negative pressure is generated in the crankcase Me during operation of the gas engine and causes the shutoff valve 17 to open. When the gas engine is not operating, no negative pressure is generated in the crankcase and thus the shutoff valve 17 remains closed. The shut-off valve 17 and the main regulator 18 together provide a regulator unit 30 that is coupled to the shut-off valve. As shown in Fig. 2, the 'cut-off valve-incorporated regulator unit 30 includes two 9-201124613 adjacent block members 31, 3 2 for covering a side opening cover 3 of a piece 31, for covering A cover member 34 of the other side of the piece 32 and a cup 36 of the lower portion of the block member 32. The shutoff valve 17 includes: a first diaphragm 41 fixedly secured between the block member 31 and the member 33; a support plate 42 for supporting the inner surface rod member 43 of the first diaphragm 41 to be mounted to the middle portion of the support plate 42; the coil spring 44 For pushing the first diaphragm 41 and the support plate 42 toward the cover member 33; the second diaphragm 45 is connected to the end of the rod member 43 that is movably passed through the block member 31; and the valve portion 46 is cut off to be in contact with the rod member 43 The end piece is disposed on the block member 3 2 and the block member 3 1 includes a recess 3 1 a which is combined with the first diaphragm 41 to pass through the vacuum line 28 to the crankcase 12c of the gas engine (see Fig. 1). The negative pressure chamber 48. The communication tube 51 is attached to the cover member 33 for allowing the atmospheric chamber 52 formed between the cover member 33 and the first diaphragm 41 to communicate with the atmosphere. The shutoff valve body portion 46 includes a valve seat 53 that is engaged with a lateral passage 32a formed under the block member, a support member 54 for supporting the valve seat 53, and a valve that passes through the through hole formed in the valve seat 53 and the support member 54, respectively. 53a, 54a and a spring 57 are disposed between the valve support member 54 and one end of the valve 56 in the closing direction thereof by the push valve 56. The valve 56 includes a spring support 56a provided at one end thereof for supporting the spring 57, a valve head 56b provided at the opposite end thereof, and a link 56c for connecting the spring support 56a and the valve head 56b. The valve head 56b is pushed by the springback of the spring 57 against the valve seat 53. In this figure, the valve head 56b is positioned to close the fuel passage 61. That is, the shutoff valve 17 is closed. From the piece to the cover t, the moving body is set to 3 2 56 » The part is -10- 201124613 The fuel passage 61 comprises: a central chamber 63 formed on the mating faces of the blocks 31, 32 and communicating with the carburetor 16 (see Figure 1); through holes 53a, 54a; lower transverse passage 32a, the portion of the valve head 56b is received therein; vertical passage 32d, one end of which is connected to the lower transverse passage 32a; and the upper transverse passage 32e, and the vertical passage 32d The opposite end is connected. The upper lateral passage 32e communicates with the decompression chamber 64 provided in the main regulator 18 via a passage not shown. The main regulator 18 includes: a third diaphragm 65 is firmly fixed between the block member 32 and the cover member 34; a pressure plate 66' is provided on the outer surface of the third diaphragm 65; and a spring 67' is formed for being pressed against the pressure plate 66 The stopper portion 32g of the block member 32 pushes the third diaphragm 65; and the cup member 36. The cup member 36 is used for the tar that flows down with the vaporized fuel when the gaseous fuel passes through the storage decompression chamber 64. By the combination of the shut-off valve 17 and the main regulator 18, it is no longer necessary to connect the shut-off valve 17 and the main regulator. The 18 line, thereby reducing the number of components required, and providing a small and sophisticated shut-off valve combined regulator. It is not necessary to configure the labor of the pipeline. The reduction in the number of components and labor costs leads to a reduction in production costs. Referring now to Figure 3', a side view of the main regulator 18 having the decompression chamber 64 of the first configuration is shown. The gas inlet 7 is formed at the end of the decompression chamber M at the end of the block 32, and the gas outlet 72 is formed at the opposite end of the decompression chamber M to form a block 32. The gas inlet 71 and the gas outlet 72 are arranged horizontally. alignment. t S ] The upper and lower diaphragm stops 74, 76 are disposed at the inlet side wall 73 surrounding the gas inlet 71 for restricting the movement of the third diaphragm 65 (see Fig. 2) ^ -11 - 201124613 The partition 78 is formed in The outlet side wall 77 around the gas outlet 72 is disposed around the gas outlet 72. The gas passage 81 extends vertically through the partition wall 78 and communicates with the gas outlet 72. The gas passage inlet provided at the top end of the gas passage 81 is indicated by reference to 81a. The gas passage outlet provided at the bottom end of the gas passage 81 is indicated by reference numeral 81b. The gas passage inlet 81a is disposed above the gas outlet 72 and is positioned at a higher level than the gas inlet 71. The partition wall 78 is provided with a circular peripheral wall 84 away from the decompression chamber 64. A vertical long passage 85 having a grooved form is provided between the partition wall 78 and the peripheral wall 84 for passage of tar which allows separation of the self-gasified fuel. With this configuration, the tar separated from the vaporized fuel at the time of vaporization of the peripheral wall 84 and the upper portion attached to the peripheral wall 84 are prevented from moving beyond the partition wall 78 and flowing downstream through the gas outlet 72, for example. Reference numeral 86 designates a space defined between the gas inlet port and the gas outlet port 72, that is, between the inlet side wall 73 and the outlet side wall 77 including the partition wall 78. As the tar flows through the gas inlet 71 into the decompression chamber 64, the tar drops down through the space 86 into the cup 36 (Fig. 2) and accumulates in the cup 36. Turning now to Figure 4, orifice 91 is provided at gas inlet 71. The shaft 91 is mounted to the inlet side wall 73' and the adjuster lever 93 is pivotally supported on the shaft 91. A pressure regulating valve 94 is attached to one end of the regulator lever 93 for opening/closing the opening of the orifice 91. The adjuster lever 96 is mounted to the opposite end of the adjuster lever 93. The adjuster lever 96 is then mounted to the pressure plate 66. Therefore, when the third diaphragm 65 and the pressure plate 66 move in unison with the pressure of -12-.201124613 inside the decompression chamber 64, the regulator lever 93 swings about the shaft 9 2 to open and close the regulating valve 94. The end surface 78a of the partition wall 78 is located at a portion of the block member 3 2 which is deeper than the end surfaces of the diaphragm stopper portions 74 and 76 (Fig. 3). A cover plate 7 is provided between the decompression chamber 64 and the end surface 78a of the partition wall 78 for covering the opening of the gas passage 81 opened toward the cover member 34. Returning to Fig. 3', the cover plate 97 is attached to the outlet side wall 77 via a male bolt (not shown) to entirely cover the end surface 78a. Reference numeral 773 indicates a female thread for threading the male bolt. As shown in Fig. 4, the gas passage inlet 8la (see Fig. 3) and the gas passage outlet 81b take the form of a groove provided at the end surface 78a of the partition wall 78. Even when the partition wall 78 is closed by the cover plate 97, the liquefied gas fuel can flow through the gas passage inlet 8 1 a, and the gas passage 8 ! is discharged from the gas outlet 72. Next, the operation of the main regulator 18 will be described with reference to Figs. 5A and 5B. As indicated by the white arrows in Fig. 5A, the vaporized fuel flowing through the gas inlet 71 into the decompression chamber 64 is moved to the partition wall 78 and flows through the gas passage inlet 8 & to the gas passage -81 'flow from the gas outlet 72. It then flows to the secondary regulator 21 (see Figure 2). The tar flowing through the gas inlet 71 to the decompression chamber 64 is dropped by gravity by the space 86. When a portion of the tar 101 enters the gas passage 81 through the gas passage inlet 81a, 'for example, the tar portion is in the form of droplets It is dropped and discharged into the space 86 via the gas passage outlet 81b, and is thus prevented from flowing out of the gas outlet 72. Next, referring to Fig. 5B', the tar of the space 86 in the decompression chamber 64 is passed through the through hole formed in the peripheral wall 84 of the decompression chamber 64, and accumulated in the cup 36. Referring now to Figure 6, a side view of a main regulator having a decompression chamber of a second configuration is illustrated. The partition wall 1 1 1 surrounding the gas outlet 72 is provided to protrude from the peripheral wall 84 of the decompression chamber 64 toward the gas inlet 71. The inner chamber inlet Ilia and the inner chamber outlet 111b are provided in the upper and lower portions of the partition wall 111, and the inner chamber inlet 111a and the inner chamber outlet 111b communicate with the decompression chamber 64 and the inner chamber 112 defined inside the partition wall 111. The inner chamber 112 opens toward the viewer of the drawing. The inner chamber inlet 111a and the inner chamber outlet 111b include grooves formed on the end surface of the partition wall 111. Reference numeral 113 designates a cover plate that is attached to the outlet side wall 77 so as to cover the entire opening of the inner chamber Π 2 . Next, referring to Fig. 7, a side view of the main regulator of the decompression chamber having the third configuration will be explained. The partition wall 1 2 1 surrounding the gas outlet 72 is provided to protrude from the peripheral wall 84 of the decompression chamber 64, and has a side wall 121a and a lower wall 121b. The inner chamber inlet 121c and the inner chamber outlet 121ci are provided in the side wall 121a and the lower wall 121b, and communicate with the decompression chamber and the inner chamber 122 defined by the partition wall 121. The inner chamber 122 is open toward the viewer of the drawing. The inner chamber inlet 121c and the inner chamber outlet 121d include grooves formed in the end surface of the partition wall 121. Reference numeral 1 23 designates a cover plate that is attached to the outlet side wall 77 so as to cover the entire opening of the inner chamber 122. By vertically forming the side wall 1 2 1 a of the partition wall 1 2 1 , as shown, the tar sticking to the top of the peripheral wall 84 flows down the side wall 1 2 1 a to the side 14-.201124613 wall 121a The lower end is dropped into the space 86. As a result, tar is less likely to enter the inner chamber 122 from the inner chamber inlet 121c. Next, a side view of the regulator having the decompression chamber of the fourth configuration is shown with reference to Fig. 8'. The curved ribs 133 are formed on the block in a convex manner and extend from the upper diaphragm stop portion 74 to the partition wall 78. The rib 131 is formed in a cutout portion 13 1 a formed at a position where the partition wall 78 continues. When the vaporized fuel exits through the gas inlet 71 into the decompression chamber 64, the vaporized fuel is directed over the ribs 113 from the partition wall 78, as indicated by the white arrow, which facilitates fuel flow through the gas passage inlet 8 1 a enters the gas passage 81. When blocked by the ribs 133, the tar 101 flowing into the decompression 64 via the gas inlet 7 几乎 hardly moves beyond the gas passage opening 81a of the partition wall 78. When the tar 101 moves over the rib 131, passes through the upper surface 13 1 b of the rib 131 and moves to the partition 7 8 , for example, the tar 1 〇 1 flows to the inner surface 7 of the partition 7 8 via the broken portion 1 3 1 a . 8 a, and finally the space 8 6 from the partition wall. As a result, it becomes possible to reliably prevent the tar 1 流动 from flowing downstream via the gas port 72. Summarizing the above, the present invention provides a main regulator 18, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, which will be disposed in a fuel supply passage for supplying liquefied gas fuel from a small cylinder as a fuel supply source to the gas engine 1 4. The pressure of the liquefied gas fuel in the form of a low gas. The main regulator 18 includes an internally defined decompression chamber 64 that sequentially includes a liquefied gas fuel entering the gas inlet 71 and a gas outlet 72 from which the gaseous fuel flows. The gas inlet is disposed at one end or side of the decompression chamber 64, and the gas outlet 72 is connected to the gas inlet and outlet chambers of the main body, and the inlet of the color chamber is 7 1 body [S ] -15- 201124613 inlet 7 1 is disposed opposite to the opposite side of the decompression chamber 64, with a space § 6 interposed between the gas inlet 71 and the gas outlet 72. The partition wall 78 is configured to surround the gas outlet 72 and is provided with a gas passage 81 to communicate with the gas outlet 72. The gas passage inlet 81a of the gas passage 81 is disposed at the upper portion of the gas inlet 71. Therefore, the gas inlet 7 气体 and the gas outlet 72 are largely separated from each other. Further, the gas passage inlet 81a is positioned at the upper portion of the gas inlet 71. As a result, the tar flowing into the decompression chamber 64 via the gas inlet 71 hardly reaches the gas outlet 72. Furthermore, the tar is guided by gravity to drip through the space 83, thus enabling the collection of tar. As can be appreciated from the foregoing, the present invention provides a simple tar separation/collection structure, filter and channel switching device that does not have the complex structure as used in the past. The tar separation/collection structure of the present invention can be effectively applied even to a small general-purpose engine in which it is difficult to utilize the generated heat and prevent the tar from flowing downstream of the fuel supply device 10. It should be noted that, in connection with Fig. 8, the ribs 133 have been described extending between the upper diaphragm stop portion 74 and the partition wall 718, and the ribs 133 may alternatively be provided to extend in the figure. 6 between the diaphragm stop portion 74 and the partition wall 1 1 1 .
