  • the present invention relates to a volumetric machine in which swaying pistons define between them a variable volume chamber.
  • FR-A-2 651 019 discloses a volumetric machine comprising four elements connected in deformable parallelogram. Each element comprises a convex cylindrical surface and a concave cylindrical surface, each centered on one of the articulation axes of the element, and cooperating in sealed manner with the concave cylindrical surface of one of the neighboring elements and respectively with the convex cylindrical surface of the other neighboring element.
  • One of the axes of articulation of the parallelogram is fixed, and the opposite axis is animated in a circular movement. This simultaneously causes a variation of the angles at the top of the parallelogram and an oscillation of the parallelogram around its fixed axis.
  • the variation of the angles of the parallelogram varies the volume of a chamber defined between the four convex cylindrical surfaces.
  • the oscillation around the fixed axis allows this chamber to communicate selectively with an intake port and an exhaust port. This produces a heat engine performing the four times (intake, compression, rebound, exhaust) in a single turn of the crank.
  • This machine has the disadvantage of being relatively bulky for a given volume capacity, and of not allowing very high compression rates.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a volumetric machine which overcomes these drawbacks.
  • the invention thus relates to a volumetric machine comprising, between two opposite faces, flat and parallel, two first opposite elements articulated to two second opposing elements along four axes of articulation perpendicular to said faces and arranged at the four vertices of a parallelogram each side of which constitutes the longitudinal axis of a respective one of the first and second elements, the elements carrying four convex cylindrical walls which define between them a chamber with variable volume, l the longitudinal axis of each first element being cut by the axes of two respective convex cylindrical walls, two lines oriented like the axes of the second elements being each cut by the axes of two respective convex cylindrical walls, the machine further comprising coordination means connected to two of the elements along two axes of coordination, the coordination means comprising a crank type system connected to a control shaft and to one of these two elements for jointly oscillating the parallelogram between the planar faces while varying its angles at the top and correspondingly the volume of the chamber , distribution orifices being provided on at least one of
  • the machine is characterized in that each first element rigidly carries the two convex cylindrical walls whose axes intersect the longitudinal axis of this first element, in that each convex cylindrical wall forms with the convex cylindrical wall intersecting the same line a pair of cylindrical walls belonging to different first elements, in that each first element comprises closing means ensuring between its two convex cylindrical walls, the closing continuity of the variable volume chamber, and in that the machine includes dynamic sealing means between the convex cylindrical walls of the same pair.
  • the main function of the second elements is to maintain a constant distance between the centers of the convex cylindrical walls of the same pair.
  • the volumetric machine according to the invention is designed to operate as a four-stroke heat engine, and it comprises in particular combustion initiator means positioned to correspond with the chamber at least when the latter is in a first volume position minimal.
  • the machine according to the invention performs, like that of the prior art, the four times in a single crank turn. But its size is reduced, and there are only two dynamic seals around the chamber, between the convex cylindrical walls of the same pair. In addition, these seals can be reduced to a simple tangent contact between convex cylindrical walls, which is a particularly simple solution, and very reliable even at very high speeds. In particular, this kind of close relationship is unlikely to seize up. In addition, the relative velocity between the convex cylindrical walls of same pair is particularly reduced, for a given speed of rotation of the crank.

  • the distance between each cylinder head 4 and the intermediate partition 6 is defined by a respective peripheral wall 7.
  • a part 3c of the flat face 3a of the elementary machine from the top of FIG. 3 is defined by a turret 8, in the form of a plate, which is rotatably mounted in an appropriate recess of the corresponding cylinder head 4, for reasons which will appear more far.
  • the cylinder heads 4, the intermediate partition 6 and the peripheral walls 7 together form a frame for the machine.
  • the turret 8 is movable relative to this frame, but, as an element defining the volumes inside the machine, is considered to belong to the casing 2.

  • Each first element 9a or 9b is articulated to the two second elements 11a and 11b according to two distinct axes of articulation. There are therefore four distinct articulation axes, A1, A2, A3, A4, which are all mutually parallel and perpendicular to the plane faces 3a and 3b.
  • each element 9a, 9b, 11a, 11b is called the side of the parallelogram, Da, Db, Ea, Eb, respectively, which joins the two axes of articulation of the element in question, for example the axes of articulation.
  • A1 and A2 for the first element 9a having the longitudinal axis Da are arranged at the four vertices of a parallelogram.
  • FIG. 2 shows the structure of the articulation of axis A4 between the elements 9b and 11b.

This minimizes congestion. This is also true for the walls S2 and S4 in another extreme position shown in FIG. 5.
  • the four elements 9a, 9b, 11a, 11b are movable relative to each other, from the extreme position shown in Figure 1 and can thus take different attitudes, some of which are shown in Figures 4, 5, 6 (schematic ) and 7.

S4 which is located inside the parallelogram C1 , C2, C3, C4, as well as by means of closure constituted by two concave cylindrical surfaces 18 each carried rigidly by one of the first elements 9a and 9b and connecting the two convex cylindrical walls S1 and S2 or respectively S3 and S4 of the first element considered.
  • Each concave cylindrical surface 18 is complementary to each of the convex cylindrical walls of the other first element.
  • the chamber 17 is further closed by dynamic sealing means.
  • these dynamic sealing means reside in a choice of dimension: the radii R1, R2, R3, R4 of the convex cylindrical walls S1 ... 4 are chosen so that the sum of the radii of the cylindrical walls of the same pair is equal to the distance between the axes of the cylindrical surfaces of the same pair,
  • the radii R1 ... R4 are equal to each other and equal to half the distance between the axes C1 and C4 or between the axes C2 and C3.
  • the cylindrical walls of the same pair, S1 and S4 or S2 and S3, are permanently in a close proximity relationship, which ensures a substantially sealed closure of the chamber 17.

  • the orifices 19 and exhaust 21 are arranged through the rotary turret 8. They selectively communicate the chamber 17 with an intake 22, for example a carburetor, and respectively an exhaust 23.

  • the periphery of the rotary turret 8 completely surrounds the chamber 17 in all the attitudes of the four elements 9a and 9b. Thus, the gap surrounding the turret 8 can never constitute a line of flight for the chamber 17.

  • the coordination axes K1 and K2 are perpendicular to the faces 3a and 3b and therefore parallel to the other axes A1 ... A4, C1 ... C4.
  • the radius of gyration of the coordination axis K1 i.e. the distance between the axes J and K1 is smaller than the distance between the coordination axis K2 and the articulation axis A1 between the two elements 9a and 11b connected to the coordination axes K1 and K2.
  • the rotations of the crank 31 produce angular back and forth movements of the second element 11b around the pivoting link 28.
  • the crank is designed so that the position of the coordination axis K1, in the first position of minimum volume (FIG. 5), corresponding to the start of combustion, is such that the volume of the chamber 17 in this position is not zero and on the contrary corresponds to the compression ratio that we want to give to the machine, and so that the position of the coordination axis K1 in the second position of minimum volume or end of exhaust position, shown in Figure 1 is such that the volume of the chamber 17 is zero in this position.
  • the two aforementioned conditions give the two positions of the axis K1 on the line M to achieve the two positions of minimum volume of the chamber 17, and consequently give the position of the axis J located on the line M midway between the two positions of K1.
  • the axis A1 is not far from the line M.
  • the angle B which separates the axes K1 and K2 seen from the axis A1 is therefore close to 180 °.
  • the directions F and G of rotation of the crank 31 and respectively of the element 11b from this position of minimum volume are the same. Given these conditions, a relatively small angular displacement of the crank 31 produces on the second element 11b a relatively large angular displacement, more than proportional to the ratio of the radii of gyration of the axes K1 and A1.
  • the angle B is much larger than the corresponding angle Q1, close to 120 ° in the example.
  • the angular travel to be performed by the element 11b so that the parallelogram passes from the first position of minimum volume (FIG. 5) to the next position of maximum volume (FIG. 6) in which the parallelogram is a rectangle is about 30 °, therefore relatively small. It is therefore sufficient, for two cumulative reasons, a relatively short angular stroke of the crank 31 for the element 11b to rotate around the axis K2 of about 30 ° which is necessary for the parallelogram A1, A2 , A3, A4 becomes a rectangle and therefore the chamber 17 reaches its maximum volume.
  • crank 31 it suffices for the crank 31 to perform a rotation TD (FIG. 6) of approximately 75 ° so that the elements 9a, 9b, 11a, 11b pass from the first position of minimum volume (FIG. 5) at the next maximum volume position in which the parallelogram A1, A2, A3, A4 is a rectangle.
  • TD rotation TD
  • the amplitude of the oscillating movement of the second element 11b is only about 90 ° between the two positions of minimum volume of the chamber 17 shown in Figures 1 and 5. This is obtained by giving the radius of gyration of the axis of articulation A1 around the second coordination axis K2 a sufficiently large length relative to the radius of gyration of the coordination axis K1 around the axis J of the crank 31.
  • FIG. 6 represents the situation of maximum volume of the chamber at the end of expansion, with display of the angle TD which has been traversed by the coordination axis K1 from the first position of minimum volume (start of combustion), and of the TE angle, about 105 ° which remains to be covered up to the second minimum volume position, as well as the two angles UD and UE covered by the articulation axis A1 around the coordination axis K2. Thanks to the geometry chosen, the two angles TD and TE, very different from each other, produce for the axis A1 two respective displacement angles UD and UE substantially equal.
  • the crank 31 is connected to an output shaft 30 to which can be connected, in a conventional manner, a flywheel and a multiple ratio transmission device to form a motor vehicle propulsion unit . Also conventional, this flywheel, and / or the inertial load constituted by the vehicle, provide the crank 31 with the energy necessary to maintain the operation during the energy consuming phases (intake, compression, exhaust).
  • the crank 31 comprises two eccentric pins 32, one for each elementary machine 1, offset by 180 ° relative to each other around the axis J to cancel the main components of the inertial forces of each elementary machine 1
  • a more perfect cancellation is carried out if the two elementary machines 1 are entirely offset with respect to each other by 180 ° around the axis J so that all the movements in each elementary machine 1 are symmetrical with those in the other elementary machine 1 with respect to the J axis (neglecting the axial offset of one machine with respect to the other along the J axis).
  • the machine of FIGS. 1 to 6 comprises adjustment means making it possible to optimize its operation.
  • the pivoting link 28 comprises a pin 32 (FIG. 1) around which the second element 11b pivots and which is carried by an eccentric 33 rotatably mounted in the frame.
  • the eccentric 33 is oriented so that the pin 32 is as close as possible to the axis J of the crank 31, the angle B and therefore the angle Q1 are also small as possible in the first position of minimum volume of chamber 17 ( Figure 5). Consequently, the volume of the chamber 17 in the first position of minimum volume is as large as possible, which corresponds to the minimum compression ratio for the machine, since the maximum volume of the chamber 17, defined by the rectangular configuration of the parallelogram A1, A2, A3, A4 ( Figure 6), is independent of the position of the pin 32.
  • this position of the pin 32 again corresponds to the smallest possible value for the angle Q1, and therefore at the smallest possible volume for the chamber 17, that is to say the zero volume in the example.
  • the rotary adjustment of the eccentric 33 for adjusting the compression ratio of the machine can be carried out manually, even when running, or can be carried out automatically.
  • the eccentric 33 can be connected to a device for measuring the depression in the inlet 22 to increase the compression rate when this depression is high (low absolute pressure) and to reduce the compression rate when the absolute pressure in admission 22 becomes stronger.
  • Such an automatic adjustment would be particularly advantageous in the case of a supercharged engine.

  • Such a floating strip constitutes an easy approximation in place of a biconcave body which would have two opposite concave cylindrical faces matching the two convex cylindrical walls such that S2 and S3 to be sealed against each other.
  • Each bar 48 is forced to center on the corresponding line L14 or L23 because the two regions of the bar located on either side of this line are wider than the distance remaining between the two cylindrical walls along this line.
  • each floating bar 48 which slides at the same time on the two cylindrical walls of the same pair, such as S2 and S3, which it makes watertight relative to each other, is always automatically positioned in a suitable manner for ensure this seal, whatever the attitude of the four elements 9a, 9b, 11a and 11b with respect to each other.

  • Figures 17 to 19 further differs from that of Figures 1 to 9 by its coordination means which include, in addition to the crank 31 connected to the motor shaft (not shown) a second crank 51 which is connected to the crank 31 by two pinions 52 cascaded so that the second crank 51 rotates at the same speed and in the opposite direction to crank 31.
  • the crank 31 rotates the first coordination axis K1, which in this example coincides with the hinge axis A2.
  • the second crank 51 rotates the second coordination axis K2 which, in this example, coincides with the articulation axis A4 opposite the axis A2.

  • the center W of the parallelogram A1 A2 A3 A4 is stationary. Consequently, the movements of the four elements 9a, 9b, 11a, 11b are equivalent to reciprocating movements of the elements 9a and 9b relative to each other, with correlative pivoting movement of the elements 11a and 11b, and superimposed movement of oscillation of the assembly around the geometric axis passing through the center W.
  • a very good quality balancing can be achieved for all the inertial forces generated by this combination of movements by providing a machine comprising two elementary machines stacked one on the other (substantially as shown in FIG. 3) with between them a 180 ° offset from the crank angle 31.

  • Each sealing body has a biconcave shape matching the two convex cylindrical walls between which it performs dynamic sealing.
  • the coordination axes K1 and K2 are each linked to one of the second elements 11a and 11b respectively, in positions symmetrical relative to the center W of the parallelogram A1, A2, A3 , A4.

  • the production of the machines according to the invention is particularly simple, the large functional surfaces all being able to be produced in a plane or cylindrical manner.
  • the sealing relationships are carried out under zero or low load and wear and tear on the machine is consequently reduced.
  • the speed of movement relative to the locations of the lines or sealing surfaces is remarkably low compared to the speed of rotation of the crank.
  • a given crank rotation speed makes it possible to perform twice as many cycles per unit of time as a traditional piston and cylinder engine.
  • the combustion and expansion times are very short and the thermal leaks particularly limited.
  • the double speed and the doubling of the number of cycles per turn of the crank allows in theory to have a volume capacity (“cubic capacity") four times lower, which limits the surfaces of thermal leaks and consequently limits still heat losses.
  • the movement of the first and second elements 9a, 9b, 11a, 11b against the faces 3a and 3b is a swirling movement without stopping point, which is particularly favorable for achieving perfect lapping on these surfaces, making the surfaces in question particularly resistant to wear and particularly waterproof by simple proximity.

  • This beveled face 74, as well as a lateral face 76 and a rear face 77 of each segment, are subjected to the pressure prevailing in the intermediate space 66, which thus contributes to applying the segment 72 against the opposite face 3a or 3b and against a bearing face 78 of the body of the corresponding element, 9b in FIG. 24.

  • the shells 61 dampen the vibrations of the first elements relative to each other, and prevent these vibrations from producing shocks between the cylindrical surfaces S1 to S4. This greatly improves the longevity of these surfaces and contributes to the maintenance, over time, of the good quality of sealing along the lines 60.
  • segments 81 have been added along the side edges of the shells 61, to further reduce the possibility of leakage along a path as illustrated by arrow 70 in Figure 22
