Description

ROTATING AND RECIPROCATING PISTON MACHINE

TECHNIC~L FIELD

The teehnical field of the invention is piston engines and piston machines with pistons which simultaneously undergo rotation during reciprocation within the cylinder of the machine, and in which electromagnetic forees are involved in the production of the piston motion.

The "classic" well known reciprocating piston engine has pistons which execute only a reciprocating motion. The piston motion is in this case mostly produced by a erankshaft and a eonnecting rod.

For the conversion of the power, an electric motor or eleetric generator is commonly conneeted with the crankshaft.

The reeiproeating and at the same time rotating motion of a piston ha~ mAny advantages. For example, the friction of a rotating piston is lower, the rotational movements of the pi~ton can improve the control o engine working ~luld ports.

Beeause of this typieal motion of the piston, this kind of machine will be ealled "rotating-reciprocating piston machine". The term "rotating-reciprocating piston maehine"
is intended not only to embraee maehines but al~o engines.

DESCRI~TION OF THE PRIOR ART

Kenneth R. Maltby describes in his United States Patent No.
2,352,396 a rotating-reciprocating piston machine. In the Maltby machine the piston motion uses a cam-like curved path which is rotating relative to guiding elements whilst at the same time executing a reciprocating motion. Maltby also describes combinations of mechanical devices with electromagnetic devices. According to Figure 12 of K.R.
Maltby's patent, the reciprocating stroke motion is controlled/arranged electrically, but the rotating motion is added mechanically by a curved path i.e., cam surface.

According to Maltby's Figures 13 and 14, an electric motor or ; generator effects only the rotational motion of the piston, the reciprocating motion is efected by a mechanical device, such as a cam-like curved path and guide elements. In other words these electrical devices produce either axial force ~ 20 components for the stroke motion or tangential force ; components ~or the rotational motion.

It is an object of the present invention to overcome this deficiency.

Broadly, according to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a rotatable-reciprocatable piston engine/machine comprising a cylinder, a rotor~a ~ and at least one piston for executing movement involving combined axial displacement and rotation with respect to the axis of the ~ - 3 -, `, cylinder, the rotor being connected to the piston and the stator being connected to the cylinder, the rotor and stator together electromagnetically producing said movement wherein the form of the rotor or stator is arranged to provide at least one continuous magnetic flux path which totally circumscribes the piston axis, and wherein the effective magnetic flux path is inclined to a plane transverse to the - axis of the cylinder or includes regions inclined to said plane, the arrangement being such that the force produced between the stator and rotor has axial and tangential components, and wherein there is provided on the stator or rotor one or more locations at which the stator or rotor in operation permanently produces a magnetic field which causes ; said continuous flux path to be attracted towards such location(s), whereby the rotor is caused to execute reciprocating and rotating motion with respect to the stator.

Thus, the effect on the rotor lateral surface at the lower side is less relative to that produced at the upper side of the stator.

The tangential force components, i.e., torque producing force, which is also produced is, in principle, produced in the same way in the embodiment of Figure 1 as is case of conventional electric motors or electric generators.

Figure 1 on the left hand side thereof illustrates the control of the inlet and outlet valves for the working fluid of the machine in a conventional way by means of valves (29).

The rotor driving poles (45) of the stator develop an -- alternating magnetic field which produces, because of the form of the rotor, both tangential and axial acting forces on the rotor (20).

As a result of the form of the rotor (20) used in the embodiment of Figures 4a and 4b the piston (2) executes two reciprocation cycles per revolution. The rotor is guided at two places by guiding poles (44) of the stator. Poles (45) of the stator are situated on the upper and lower sides thereof. This embodiment requires arrangements (not shown~ for the machine start-up period.

The Figures 5a, 5b illustrate a fifth embodiment of the machine/engine which is similar to that of Figure 4a and 4b. In thi~ embodiment a northpole and a southpole (44) of the stator are guiding the rotor (20). Driving poles (45) are provided at four places. The driving poles are cyclic~lly switched in such a way that they execute forw~rd and backward going axial/tangential forces on the rotor (20). The guiding poles (44) are, for exampls, formed by permanent magnets. In the case of another embotiment ~not ~hown), the stator only incorporates driv~ng pole~ (45).

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In the rotating-reciprocating piston machine according to the invention the motion of the piston is arranged by means of a rotor t20) which is disposed in an inclined way with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder (See ; Figure 1 to 3b) to the axis of rotation or is curved in the axial direction (see Figures 4 to 6), whereby the force acting from the stator to the rotor (or vice versa) ;~ has axial and tangential components.

-i~ lO As has been mentioned, the axial force components -~ teveloped control the axial movements of the piston and the tangential force components develop the rotational mot ion .
,, .
Preferably, at one or more locations of the stator (21), the stator keopo the lateral surface of the rotor (20) near theoe places. In other words at these locations the stator establisheo stronger magnetic fields i.e., magnetic field notes, which attract the rotor towards such location th-r-by causing the rotor axiAlly to displace and, in cons-quence cause, the rotational movements thereof. This ~3-~ m-ans that the otator io guiding the lateral surface of th- rotor at these locations. This is somewhat an ' analogy to the known mechanical tevice with guiding 7; el-ments and the cam-like curved path. The number of guiding locations i~ preferably equal to the number of reciprocating stroke cycleo per revolution, ~ccording to ;~ the form of the rotor.
,' :
The principle of this electric motor or generator can be f' made very simllar to any known principle ~see for example Figure 1). In ~ome pr-ferred embodimento the rotor is made with magnetic poleo or windingo which are attached to the rotor.

',',r ~ - 10 -.
- ' ,,;

-1308~55 In other embodiments the rotor is made of magnetisable but not permanent magnet material. This is possible and realizable as a result of the non-rotational symmetric form of the rotor. The electromagnetic field of the stator magnetises the rotor. Force and motion are produced and are influenced by the arrangement and the cyclic timing of the electromagnetic field of the stator and by the form of the rotor.

The length of the stroke or the compression ratio can be made adjustable. This can be achieved by axial displacement of magnetic poles, by magnetic poles being electrically switchable, or by adjustment of the strength , of the magnetic orce which has an axial component.

If desired, two neighbouring working faces of adjacent piston~ or oi^ a piston and ~ piston-like member (5a) are so inter-coupled that they rotate in unison. One form of such inter-coupling i5 by connecting the working faces in the manner of a dog clutch.
, ~ BE8T EXECUTIONS OF THE INVENTION
~ ~, The rotor of the rotating-reciprocating piston machine i~
fixed at the piston and made of magneti~able but not of p-rman-nt magnet material. Thus, current feed is not neeted for the rotor. The piston normally is arranged to make either one, two, three or more reciprocating ~troke cycle~ per revolution.
.~, ., ~' Pref-rably, the rotor i~ arranged to make two itentical ~troke cycle~ p-r revolution. In this case the rotor is formed according to Figure 6. The rotor i~ guided by two magnetic pole pairs which are locatet diametrically ': t~
",~ - 11 -'-''''' ' , ' ', ~

.' ' , ' , 13~18155 opposite to each other at the stator. The number of these guiding locations is equal to the number of identical reciprocating stroke cycles per revolution; and, as seen in the direction along the rotation axis, these guiding locations are arranged at equiangular distances with respect to each other. Therefore, in the embodiment illustrated the engine/machine has two guiding locations and the angular separation is 180 degrees. These poles at the guiding locations are either permanent magnets or they are activated by coils. In between these guiding locations there are driving electromagnetic fields, caused by the windings or coils. These coils, for example, are located at predetermined axial distances relative to one another and effect axial and axial/tangential force components.

In the case of a direct current arrangement the windings or coils are arranged to be switchable. In the case of polyphase alternating current the coils are arranged at the driving locations so that the driving electromagnetic field~ move according to the relative motion of the lateral surface of the rotor.

Preferably, the pi~ton runs on a lubrication film. At locations at which the lubrication is net required such a~
~, the working chamber (7) and in the ~lcinity of the port~
~8/9) scraper/seallng rings or the like are provited.
8uch sealing means can be provided in the cylinder wall.
