Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • each piston requires its own crank pin within the crankshaft, so that a large overall length for the crankshaft very quickly results with the resulting difficulties in its storage.
  • manufacture of such cranked crankshafts is expensive.
  • the overall length of the entire engine is also large iFurthermore, two cylinder internal combustion piston machines with axially are ü b succumbing arranged working cylinders known as the so-called boxer engines, the reciprocating piston via a rigid piston rod with centrally located K urbelschleifentrieb kinematically coupled. see. DE-PS 409 919. They are advantageous over multi-cylinder internal combustion piston machines with conventional connecting rod crank mechanisms.
  • the kinematics of the crank loop drive Thanks to the kinematics of the crank loop drive, the dwell times at the top and bottom dead center are extended, which has a favorable effect on the flushing and charging processes and the combustion process. Furthermore, the rectilinear movement of the two piston rods enables an effective sealing of the cylinder space from the crankcase by means of partition walls which are only penetrated by the piston rods, the bearings of which can be sealed relatively easily. These partitions also result in a rigid construction for the motor housing, and the dynamic forces occurring on the crank loop drive can be absorbed in the motor housing without any problems. The overall frictional forces are reduced in that the crank loop frame itself does not need to be stored. All of these measures shorten the overall motor length. The effective sealing of the interior of the crank loop drive from the cylinder chambers with their chemically aggressive climate increases the service life of the internal combustion engine.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve further conceptual improvements by means of a new design of the boxer engine type mentioned, in particular to create multi-cylinder internal combustion engines using the boxer principle, the pistons of which are coupled to one another via rigid piston rods and can act on a crank pin as far as possible .
  • the invention thus achieves an astonishingly simple manner in a compact engine design and a large number of bearings are saved, as a result of which the power-to-weight ratio is improved and the construction volume is reduced, and in particular the construction length is shortened.
  • constructive simplifications are achieved with respect to the crank output, which also makes engine production cheaper, since only crankshaft cranking with a crank pin is required for a four-cylinder engine.
  • the balancing masses can be reduced and the smooth running of the internal combustion engine improves. This also increases the lifespan.
  • the so-called modular principle can be carried out in a simple manner, so that motors of different power ranges can be realized with the same structural units.
  • the first pair of cylinders consists of the two working cylinders 1 and 2, which lie opposite one another with the same axis. In them run pistons 3 and 4, on which piston rods 5 and 6 are rigidly attached. These are, on the other hand, firmly connected to a crank loop frame 7, which includes a rectilinear link 8, the longitudinal axis L8 of which is directed at an angle of 90 ° transversely to the longitudinal axis L1, 2 of the two working cylinders 1 and 2.
  • Figure 3 the first pair of cylinders consists of the two working cylinders 1 and 2, which lie opposite one another with the same axis. In them run pistons 3 and 4, on which piston rods 5 and 6 are rigidly attached. These are, on the other hand, firmly connected to a crank loop frame 7, which includes a rectilinear link 8, the longitudinal axis L8 of which
  • the second pair of cylinders consists of the two working cylinders 11 and 12, which likewise lie opposite one another with the same axis.
  • Working pistons 13 and 14 run in them, on which piston rods 15 and 16 are rigidly attached.
  • crank loop frame 17 which includes a rectilinear link 18, the longitudinal axis L 18 of which is directed at an angle of 90 ° transverse to the longitudinal axis L11, 12 of the two working cylinders 11 and 12.
  • a sliding block 19 moves in the backdrop 18 and is likewise rotatably mounted on the crank pin 10 of the crank mechanism 20.
  • the two longitudinal axes L8 and L18 of the two scenes 8 and 18 also intersect perpendicularly.
  • crank loop frames 7 and 17 lie side by side on the crank pin 10 of the crank drive 20.
  • the synchronism of all four working pistons achieved by the selected arrangement of two crank loops on a crank pin has the advantage that the balancing mass corresponds to the translationally moving mass of a conventional two-cylinder unit.
  • the centrifugal force in each crankshaft position is just as large as the resulting mass of two two-cylinder units. All that remains is a residual mass force, resulting from the small distance between the piston rods, which are offset by 90 °, and the masses that move with them in a translatory manner.
