But the stroke of piston of each piston 44,45 of must regaining consciousness all has accurately identical length under all operational conditions, and no matter the institute must the employing compression ratio.

According to the present invention, burning cavity K1 is designed into a bigger degree in the position/dead space of described dead point.Yet also can proceed a small amount of burning in this dead space outside actually, will narrate in more detail below.

Each piston 44,45 is connected on its corresponding tube-shaped piston bar 48 and 49 rigidly, and wherein piston rod is directed doing straight straight line motion through a so-called crosshead control piece 50.These crosshead control piece 50 parts are arranged in the engine cylinder body 17, part is set in place in each cap member 17a and 17b of the reciprocity free outer end of each piston rod 48,49.At length illustrate as Fig. 5 a, crosshead control piece 50 constitutes just at engine cylinder body 17 inboard and the piston rod 48 in the outside and 49 axial guide devices.

With reference to Fig. 5 a, have and be fixed on one of tube-shaped piston bar 48 1 ends and ship and resell on another market 51, and this ships and resell on another market and pass piston rod 48 crosswise, promptly pass the tubular hollow space 52 of piston rod.Shipping and reselling on another market 51 intermediate portion 51a, promptly shown in hollow space 52 inside, have a main castor (castor) 53 that is rotatably mounted, and ship and resell on another market 51 be rotatably mounted an auxiliary castor 55 to the end 51b place of the side of piston rod 48 48a to the outside.

Main castor 53 comprises an interior hub portion 53a and the peripheral edge portion 53c with a rolling bearing 53b.Rim section 53c be provided with a hyperbolical, be the fan-shaped roller surface 53c ' of ball.

Auxiliary castor 55 has corresponding to the structure of main castor 53 and comprises in one rolling bearing 55b in the middle of the hub portion 55a, one and have a peripheral edge portion 55c of the fan-shaped roller surface of ball.

Main castor 53 is suitable for rolling along the recessed crooked roller surface 54 of a cross section, and this surface 54 constitutes the part of so-called " sine " curved surface (curve) 54 ' shown in Fig. 6～8.By adopting the fan-shaped roller surface 53c ' of a ball, it rolls along the crooked guide surface 54 of the equity of cam guide 12a and 12b, can be under the operating conditions that changes, guarantee that between castor 53 and guide surface 54 one effectively bears against, and a castor that is provided with a little obliquely and/or the piston rod 48 (49) that is provided with obliquely can be arranged, for example this can allow to be rotatably mounted piston rod 48 in piston 44, shown in Fig. 5 h.

" sine " curved surface 54 ' be designed in the cam guide 12a of live axle and the 12b from middle cylinder 21 on a 50-50 basis axially to the outside to a side.Auxiliary castor 55 is suitable for rolling along another crooked " sine " curved surface (further not illustrating) of the recessed ground of the cross section of an equity, the roller surface 56a of curved surface that should be recessed crooked in the roller path, and just be designed in radially in the cam guide 12a in roller surface 54 (and 12b).

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5 a, the radially the most nonlocal setting of " sine " curved surface 54a ', " sine " curved surface 56a ' then is arranged on and radially is positioned at the certain distance of " sine " curved surface 54a ' in the cam guide 12a." sine " curved surface 54a ' also can radially be arranged in " sine " curved surface 56a ' (in mode not shown further) perhaps conversely.

In each cam guide 12a and 12b, designed a pair of accordingly " sine " curved surface 54a ', 56a ', and each " sine " curved surface can be provided with one or more " sine " plane as required in mode not shown further.

Can be in Fig. 1 schematically referring to cam guide 12a and 12b, but the details on corresponding " sine " curved surface and " sine " plane then further is illustrated in Fig. 9～14. " sine " notion

Usually " sine " notion can be applicable to an odd number (1,3,5 etc.) cylinder, and adopts an even number (2,4,6 etc.) " sine " plane, otherwise perhaps.

In each cam guide 12a and 12b, adopt in the situation of one single " sine " plane (having one " sine " top and one " sine " end), promptly when " sine " plane covered a circular arc of 360 °, then adopting odd number still was that the even number cylinder is unimportant.Correspondingly, then can for example adopt more or fewer purpose cylinder as required for two (or a plurality of) " sine " planes.

The described situation that has one single " sine " plane for be used for 2000rpm (rev/min) motor of the fast turn-around that drives more than the speed is particularly advantageous.

According to this " sine " notion, each motor can " internally " rate of adaptation, and this is all based on " sine " top and the quantity at " sine " end that are adopted in each revolution of 360 ° of live axle.In other words, according to this " sine " notion, two kinds of motors can accurately be set up at the rotary speed area of the per minute of relevant each application.

The cylinder arranged of this series of the motor of illustrated embodiment ground normally, it has corresponding piston, be axis arranged around live axle in certain angular orientation, for example adopt the midfeather that is equal to each other along " sine " plane (" sine " curved surface) of this series.

For example for one 2 strokes with 3 cylinders or 4 two-stroke engines (referring to Fig. 6), adopt 2 " sine " top and 2 " sine " ends and 4 therebetween inclined surfaces can for each 360 ° revolutions, 2 " sine " planes promptly alternately are set in each cam guide 12a, 12b.Therefore in one 4 two-stroke engines, the revolution each time of live axle/cam guide is obtained 4 strokes can for per two pistons of 3 cylinders and be obtained 4 strokes for per two pistons of 3 cylinders in one 2 two-stroke engines.

Correspondingly for one 2 two-stroke engines with 5 cylinders, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, can adopt one " sine " curved surface that has 2 " sine " top and 2 " sine " ends and therebetween 4 inclined surfaces for 360 ° revolution each time, 2 " sine " planes promptly alternately are set in each cam guide 12a, 12b, thereby in one 2 two-stroke engines, obtain 4 strokes for per 2 pistons of 5 cylinders for revolution each time.

The idler pulley of piston with the setting of angle same midfeather in the embodiment shown, promptly be provided with rotation angle position along " sine " curved surface equity, thereby in the reciprocity position along corresponding " sine " plane, these cylinders alternately bear the piston motion of equity.

Therefore the power of motor alternately passes to live axle 11 from different piston 44,45 through axial idler pulley 53, wherein this transmission is through having each " sine " curved surface on its " sine " plane respectively, and therefore live axle 11 is subjected to forcing to rotate around one of its axis.This engine piston bar by the longitudinal axis motion that is parallel to live axle produces, and the idler pulley of piston rod is rolled forcibly along " sine " plane.Therefore engine power passes to " sine " plane vertically from the idler pulley of piston rod, wherein these " sine " planes by forcibly with live axle 11 around its rotational.In other words, be the transmission that obtains to move to the driving force that rotatablely moves of live axle from a reciprocating piston, this driving force is directly passed to " sine " plane of live axle from each idler pulley of piston rod.

In Fig. 6 a, schematically shown the idler pulley 53 on the diagonally extending part of one " sine " curved surface 8a.Axial driving force is expressed as the form of the arrow Fa that draws from the respective pistons 44 with piston rod 48, and has the rotating force of the decomposition of being represented by arrow Fr that passes to " sine " plane 8a on a 50-50 basis in a radial plane.

Rotating force can be derived by formula 2:

Fr＝Fa·tanφ。

According to the present invention, by designing particularly, especially can obtain to make the compression stroke of the expansion stroke of piston 44,45 greater than piston 44,45 based on " sine " of the present invention plane, wherein stroke is to calculate with the angle with respect to the rotation radian of live axle.Although piston has different movement velocitys in relative moving direction, can guarantee relatively more equably driving force to be passed to live axle 11 thus, i.e. more friction ground running of motor.

In Fig. 6～8, schematically shown the operator scheme pf of one 3 Cylinder engines 10, wherein only show two pistons 44 in the piston 44,45 that matches, and be illustrated in the state that becomes plane earth to launch along one corresponding " sine " curved surface 54 ', should form by 2 " sine " planes of continuing mutually by " sine " curved surface 54 ', add the corresponding main castor 53 that shows a corresponding piston rod 48.In each Fig. 6～8, schematically shown the corresponding piston 44 in per 3 cylinders 21 of motor, and adopted the layout of an equity for piston 45 in the cylinder opposite end.For clarity sake, omitted cylinder 21 and relative piston 45 in Fig. 6～8, and only shown piston 44, its piston rod 48 and its main castor 53.The axial motion of piston 44 is represented with an arrow 58 of the expansion stroke of expression piston 44 by an arrow 57 of the compression stroke of expression piston 44.

" sine " curved surface 54 ' has been illustrated rolling path 54, it has a pair of " sine " planar profile and axially guides moving of main castor 53 along one substantially, because it more or less acts on a power of pointing to consistently downwards and act on the power that is directed upwards towards through main castor 53 to piston 44 from rolling path 54 in compression stroke to rolling path 54 through main castor 53 from piston 44 in expansion stroke.Auxiliary castor 55 (further not illustrating in Fig. 6～8) holds with the conclusive matching relationship of rolling path 54b on respect to, shown in Fig. 5 a.For convenience of description, described rolling path 56b vertically is illustrated on the main castor 53 in Fig. 6～8, thereby expresses main castor 53 in axial largest motion with respect to rolling path 54.To be that auxiliary castor 55 is controlled the possibility that main castor 53 axially moves with respect to its rolling path 54 actually, shown in Fig. 5 a.

Auxiliary castor 55 is inoperative usually, but can control piston 44 in an axial motion, main in this case castor 53 has from the trend of rolling path 54 liftings of cam-shaped its oneself.Therefore in operating process, can avoid main castor 53 with the lifting of unwillingly mode with respect to rolling path 54.The rolling path that is used for auxiliary castor 53 shown in Fig. 5 a, is arranged on fixing assembly building from corresponding rolling path usually every interior.

In Fig. 6～8, sine surface 54 ' is expressed that the one first precipitous relatively and relative curvature portion 60 and that extends as the crow flies continues more or less is relative more gently stretch, the transition portion/dead point part 63 of the camber that continues of the curvature portion 62 and of extension relatively as the crow flies with one second of the transition portion/dead point part 61 at the formation top of arc.But these curved surface profiles are not at length to represent according to curved surface profile of the present invention, and the example of correct curved surface profile is illustrated in Figure 12 and 13 in more detail.

" sine " curved surface 54 ' and " sine " plane 54 have been illustrated 2 tops 61 and 2 bottoms 63 and 2 pairs of curvature portions 60,62 in Fig. 6～8.Represented 3 pistons 44 and their corresponding main castors 53 in Fig. 6～8, these main castors 53 are indicated on along one " sine " curved surface reciprocity position that differ from one another, that continue.Can be clear that by figure relatively short first surface part 60 only can see a main castor 53 in all time requirement at the curvature portion of a weak point, and can see two and two main castors 53 roughly at two long curvature portions.In other words, the curved surface profile shown in having can adopt with respect to the multi-form curvature portion of giving expansion stroke for compression stroke.Therefore especially can guarantee two main castors 53 at all time-interleaving expansion strokes, and the 3rd main castor 53 constitutes the part of compression stroke.The motion of piston 44 is to obtain with relative bigger axial motion speed in compression stroke than in expansion stroke actually.Wherein these different movement velocitys do not have negative effect for rotatablely moving of live axle 11.On the contrary, adopt so a kind of asymmetrical each other design of curvature portion 60,62, mean to observe in motor, can obtain more uniform and the still less motion of induced vibration.

Obtained time of disposing in the expansion stroke increase in addition with respect to the time of laying in the compression stroke.

In a practical structures, in one 180 ° work sequence, selected about 105 a ° arc length and selected the arc length of about 75 a ° equity to compression stroke to expansion stroke according to Fig. 6～8.But can be for example in 110 °～95 ° scope, and can be on a 50-50 basis in 70 °～85 ° scope for the actual arc length of compression stroke for the actual arc length of expansion stroke.

As mentioned above, using when for example having one group of 3 cylinder 21 of three pairs of pistons 44,45, adopt 2 tops 61 and 2 bottoms 63 for each revolution of 360 ° of live axle 11, promptly each piston has 2 expansion strokes to 44,45 revolution each time.

When for example using 4 pairs of pistons, can correspondingly adopt 3 tops and 3 bottoms, promptly each piston has 3 expansion strokes to each revolution.

In embodiment according to Fig. 9～10, discussed one 5 Cylinder engines that have 5 pairs of pistons, it has 2 tops and 2 bottoms, and promptly each piston has 2 expansion strokes to each revolution. Typical cam guide of the present invention

" sine " the plane 8b that in Fig. 9 and 10, has represented one 14 ° of positions before " sine " plane 8a.5 described cylinder 21-1,21-2,21-3,21-4 and 21-5 are indicated on the position of continuing with respect to corresponding " sine " plane, and are distributed in the working position of continuing, shown in following chart 1 and 2. Chart 1 about Fig. 9 and Figure 12～133 °/183 ° compressions of relief opening scavenge port curve regions 8a/8b21-1 of working position, cylinder angular orientation are closed and are opened ^*75 °/255 ° compressions of 1a/1b21-2 are closed 47 °/327 ° expansions of 4a/4b21-3 and are closed 219 °/39 ° compressions of 6a/7b21-4 and close 291 °/101 ° expansions of 2a/2b21-5 and close 5b/6a

* scavenge port 24 is opened 160 °/340 ° positions and is closed 25 °/205 ° positions, and promptly scavenge port stays open on an arc length of 45 °.

Relief opening 25 stays open on an arc length of 39 ° on the other hand, promptly stays open (referring to Figure 14) on an arc length of 14 ° of the phase displacements of the arc length of opening with respect to scavenge port.

Therefore scavenge port 24 can be opened (referring to the single hacures section A ' of portion among the curved portion 1a among Figure 12～3a and Figure 14) on 20 ° the arc length after relief opening 25 is closed.This means on 20 ° the arc length that compression chamber in the end mentions especially to be supplied to extra scavenging air, promptly by excess supply pressurized air. Chart 2 about Figure 10 and Figure 12～1321 °/201 ° compressions of exhaust outlet scavenge port curve regions 8a/8b21-1 of operating position, cylinder angle position are closed 93 °/273 ° expansions of 1a/2b21-2 and are closed 165 °/345 ° expansions of 5a/5b21-3 and open^*Open ^*237 °/57 ° compressions of 7a/7b21-4 are closed 309 °/129 ° expansions of 2a/2b21-5 and are closed 6a/6b

The * relief opening is opened 146 °/326 ° positions and is closed 185 °/5 ° positions, and promptly relief opening stays open on an arc length of 36 °.

Mark part by Figure 14 can be clear that the single hacures section B ' of portion that relief opening 25 can stay open opens on an arc length of 14 ° before the scavenge port 24.

Described section A ' and B ' expression relief opening 25 and scavenge port 24 are at the axial dimension of the respective external of active chamber K.So mouthful 24 and 25 height that can be designed to equate at each end of active chamber K.Described height is represented as λ 2 in Figure 12～14.

In 5 ° the angular regions of " sine " plane 8b (position from 75 ° positions to 80 °, especially referring to Figure 13) and in 10 ° the angular regions of the curve 8a (position from 75 ° positions to 85 °, especially referring to Figure 12), each respective pistons 44 and 45 is held by the minimum interval λ of for example 15mm between the center line of piston head 44a and active chamber and is pressed to maximum.

With reference to Figure 12, will further observe on an arc length of 36.6 ° of ° position, 59.2 ° of positions to 95.8, the interval variation between the piston head gets less relatively.Interval from piston head 44a to center line 44 ' changes to the interval λ of a 20mm from the minimum value (75 °～80 ° dead point part) of λ=15mm ^*(93 ° of positions in Figure 11).

Correspondingly, the interval λ of the 25mm that 44 ' interval changes in 57 ° of positions of Figure 11 from the minimum value of the λ=15mm of 75 °～80 ° dead point part from the piston head to the center line ^*

On described 36.6 ° arc length, the volume in the burning cavity K1 is held constant between piston 44,45. " sine " planar combination effect of 2 phase displacements

Can clearly be seen that the profile of corresponding 2 curve 8a, 8b by Figure 14, they schematically show in the mode each other in mirror image.Curve 8a is represented that by a solid line curve 8b then is expressed as the mirror image of the medial axis between piston 44,45 by a dotted line.Curve 8c represents the center curve of the theory between curve 8a and the 8b.Apparent center curve 8c has the profile that more approaches a sinusoidal profile than the profile of each curve 8a, 8b.Therefore, even obtain slightly asymmetric relatively curve 8a, a 8b profile respectively, also can obtain the profile of center curve 8c of symmetry relatively. Fuel sprays

In the compression stage end of curve regions 3a and 3b, inject fuel into a jet flow in the ventilation air-flow of rotation, and mixing/atomizing effectively in the ventilation air-flow of rotation. The ignition trigger device

After the fuel injection, promptly in curve regions 3a and 3b, immediately start electronically controlled igniting in compression stage end.The measure that is provided with after ignition mechanism is rotated into an atomized fuel effectively with the gaseous mixture of ventilation (scavenging) air and fuel.According to the present invention, adopt a ignition lag with respect to traditional ignition angle 7～10%, can obtain advantage. Combustion phase

In an illustrated embodiment, taking fire immediately after the igniting and mainly be in a limited zone, to burn, wherein occupy the pushing position of a maximum basically at this zone piston, promptly be positioned at curve regions 3a, 3b near, that is to say at piston and stand the zone that minimum axial direction moves.Burning mainly be or be to carry out to a great extent in the position that piston 44,45 keeps being still in inner dead centre part 4a and 4b, promptly respectively on an arc length of 10 ° and 5 °.But as required, can make burning proceed to a bigger or lesser extent at ensuing transition portion 5a, 5b and at main dilation 6a, 6b, this depends on the rotating speed of running shaft.As result at the atomized fuel of dead point part 4a, the rotation of 4b in burning cavity K1, and owing to can in dish type burning cavity K1, keep flame front (f1ame front) shorter, therefore in all situations, can guarantee a large amount of atomized fuel in the burning cavity K1 is lighted a fire, promptly the fuel in described dead point part 4a, the 4b be lighted a fire.Can allow burning cavity to expand into just part 5a, the 5b outside dead point part 4a, 4b actually, this can bring great attendant advantages in the active chamber K of a defined volume. Velocity of combustion

Velocity of combustion reaches the degree that amplitude is 20～25 meters of per seconds just as is known.By adopting two groups of fuel nozzles and the corresponding two groups of ignition mechanisms (referring to Fig. 4 b) that are distributed in active chamber each 1/4 place all around, the combustion zone can cover whole dish type burning cavity K1 effectively.Can thereby obtain to have the particularly advantageous burning of short relatively flame length actually. The best combustion temperature

As be limited in the chamber K before burning cavity K1 just concentrated igniting/combustion zone 3a, 3b and immediately following the regional 5a behind the burning cavity K1, the result of 5b, promptly at the link up regional 3a～5a and the 3b～5b of (coherent), piston the 44, the 45th herein, and is static or be static to a great extent, combustion temperature can be increased to 3000 ℃ from common about 1800 ℃.Therefore,, also can obtain the burning of the best (almost 100%) to atomized fuel promptly in the end of curved portion 5a, 5b even before piston 44,45 has begun expansion stroke fully. Ceramic ring

To ceramic ring some measures are set, promptly carry out ceramic coating in the annular region of active chamber K corresponding to a combustion zone (3a～5a, 3b, 5b), thereby can especially in burning cavity K1, adopt high temperature, but also can adopt high temperature at ensuing part 5a, the 5b of combustion zone.Being illustrated the ceramic ring that has by the represented size of a dotted line 70 in Figure 12～14 comprises whole burning cavity K1 and also further extends outwardly into a distance 13 outside the burning cavity in addition. The expansion stroke of beginning

Fuel is consumed to less sizable part in previous combustion zone (3a～5a, 3b, 5b) after and when just having begun expansion stroke, has optimum driving force usually.More particularly this means,, can obtain the driving moment of an optimum, immediately begin expansion stroke and increase to a maximum value in transition region 5a, the 5b then at transition region 5a, 5b by carry out the cam guiding along curve 8a and 8b.The result who acts as a fuel in the possible after burning in this zone, no matter the cubical expansion that when expansion stroke passes through this zone forward, in the K of chamber, engenders, in the continuous process of expansion stroke (in regional 6a, 6b) and at least in the beginning in this zone, driving moment is kept constant substantially. Expansion stage

According to shown in embodiment, compression stroke occurs in respect to curve 8a, 8b under the angle of inclination between about 25 ° and 36 ° of this two curve, promptly has about 30 a ° average angle (referring to Figure 14).If desired, then angle of inclination (and average angle) can for example increase to about 45 ° or big as required and more.Correspondingly between two curve 8a and 8b about 22 ° and 27 °, expand the stage in the embodiment shown, promptly under about 24 a ° average angle (referring to Figure 14).

As in 30 ° the curved profile of precipitous relatively (on average) of compression stage and result, obtained of the particularly advantageous increase of expansion stroke endurance with respect to the compression stroke endurance at the 24 ° relative mild profile of expansion stage.

According to the present invention, by the described asymmetric relation between movement velocity in compression stroke and the movement velocity in expansion stroke, the starting point of combustion process in the compression stage can be moved to the position that is close to inner dead centre, and thereby can be in time the combustion process of a major part be moved to the place that begins of expansion stage, and burning is not had negative effect.Therefore, can obtain to compare more efficient use in the past at combustion phase to the better in the past control of the ratio of fuel combustion with to one of driving force.Especially cross behind the dead point expansion stage from compression stage and can shift a burning that may occur in addition, unsteered, and thereby this " pressure spot " that is included in the unsteered burning in the compression stage be converted to merit useful in the expansion stage.

Prolong the expansion stage by sacrificing compression stage, in compression stage, can obtain than a relative higher piston motion in the expansion stage.This each group piston for combustion engine in each single work cycle has influence. Turning effort (effect) in the active chamber

By relief opening 25 (referring to Fig. 2) combustion gas through being provided with obliquely and the rotation of in active chamber, setting up gas followed by the scavenge port 24 (referring to Fig. 3) through being provided with obliquely injects scavenging air.Set up thus a rotation, i.e. a spiral helicine air flow path (referring to the arrow in the cylinder 21-1 among Fig. 9 38), it is maintained in the whole work cycle.In the process of work cycle, promptly activated turning effort again at injection, igniting and combustion phase.

Therefore in work cycle, carry out the transient process that fuel sprays and next carry out through ignition mechanism 39 fuel ignition through nozzle 36, supply with a new turning effort to air-flow 38, the burning of following produces the fixing flame front of a direction, and its corresponding pressure wave forward (wavefront) is consistent basically with the air-flow of having set up 38.Therefore keeping turning effort in the whole compression stroke and activating this turning effort again through the nozzle ejection stream 37 that is obliquely installed shown in Fig. 4 a with in the transient process that the fuel of a corresponding nozzle 36 that is provided with obliquely sprays.Obtain additional turning effort at combustion phase.
