Definitions
- the object of the present invention is the concept of an engine with variable volumetric ratio which consists in varying the volume of the combustion chamber as a function of the density and temperature of the intake air, of the speed of rotation. and the engine temperature, which allows the engine to be supercharged, by pressing a single or double supercharging pressure with intercooling.
- WO 89/03476 discloses the compression ignition engine with variable volumetric ratio which represents, by way of example, a preferred embodiment of the invention, relating to a two-stroke cycle engine, with ignition by compression which comprises an axial grouping of two cylinders joined side by side, with a centralization of two crankshafts in the cylinder block, provided with a kinematic chain where the two crankshafts are at the same speed of rotation, the engine is sweeped by equicurrent (l (fresh gas and exhaust are admitted at opposite ends of the larger of the two cylinders).
- the engine is also provided with a coupler making it possible to synchronize cyclically the positions of the piston of the combustion prechamber in the end of compression phase so as to be able to vary the volumetric ratio according to the different engine speeds.
- these aforementioned means do not allow the two-stroke engine to operate in good conditions, because in the smaller of the two cylinders, in each exhaust cycle, the flue gases are only partially removed from the cylinder, resulting in a loss of efficiency due to the fact that the intake of the fresh air can only be done by equicurrent.
- the four-stroke engine can also be provided with a kinematic chain where the small crankshaft is at half speed of the large crankshaft, which has the effect of invalidate the operation of the four-stroke engine, following a desynchronization of the piston of the small cylinder with respect to the phases of the engine, for example, the discharge of the burnt gases from the small cylinder to the large cylinder during the intake phase, and of the burnt gases sucked in by the small cylinder from the large cylinder, in the exhaust phase.
- the present invention describes a new combination of a four-stroke variable volume combustion chamber engine.
- the engine comprises a kinematic chain where the shafts of the two crankshafts are coupled at the same speed by means of the variable-pitch transmission.
- the angular offset travel between the two crankshafts carried out between the start and the end of travel of the variable-pitch transmission is arranged by an appropriate ratio between the two displacements of the two grouped cylinders and between the volume of the latter and the dead space , which allows to modulate the volumetric ratio of the engine without desynchronization of the piston of the small cylinder compared to the phases of the engine.
- the axial resistance force generated by the displacement of the piston at the change in angular position of the device is proportional by the resistive torque of the camshaft (resistance due to friction of the cams on the valve stems), which has the effect of composing axial forces on the camshaft, the latter being immobilized axially by means of a bearing fitted with a bearing stops.
- the camshaft generates only weak resistance couples of the order of 1 to 3% compared to the crankshaft torque, this results in weak axial forces on the camshaft, which allows from the point of view mechanical, to use a thrust bearing with low carrying capacity and therefore to be able to have a thrust bearing sufficiently small to make use of it on the camshaft.
- the present invention also describes a novel combination of a variable-pitch transmission suitable for regulating the four-stroke variable volume combustion chamber engine.
- This new combination of the variable-pitch transmission in coupling connection with the two shafts of the two crankshafts of the engine has the advantage of varying the angular position between these two shafts without any axial force on them, whatever or the torque force on the variable-pitch transmission.
- the variable-pitch transmission can be removed from the engine block and uncoupled from the two crankshafts as an interchangeable mechanical assembly that can be reassembled on the engine block.
- Means are also provided on this variable-pitch transmission to have precise angular adjustment between the coupling connection of the two crankshafts and the variable-timing transmission.
- Engineers therefore comply with certain design rules by determining, on the one hand, a limit on the amplitude of the pressure variations at the intake, and on the other hand, by achieving an average compression ratio between the pressure d aspiration atmospheric and boost pressure.
- the determination of the average compression ratio is a compromise reconciling at best the different engine speeds, the atmospheric suction regime is located at too low pressures and temperatures, and the boost pressure regime is located at too high pressures and temperatures.
- this new engine comprises two lines of crankshafts, one with a long stroke crank, the other with a short stroke crank.
- the two crankshafts are coupled at the same rotational speed by means of a gear train and a variable-pitch transmission, the coupling pinion of which forms part of the gear train moves angularly relative to the crankshaft. at short stroke, which allows an infinite number of stalls between the two crankshafts without requiring the interruption of the transmission between them.
- variable pitch transmission is designed in such a way that it can be separated from the engine block independently of the crankshaft at short stroke, which has the advantage of being able to quickly and easily replace the defective parts or to a standard exchange of the latter.
- the cylinders differentiated by their displacement, are each arranged above one of the two lines of crankshafts.
- the crankshaft of the short stroke crankshaft operating with the connecting rod of the piston of the smallest cylinder
- the crank of the crankshaft of long stroke operating with the connecting rod of the piston of the largest cylinder.
- the two cylinders are connected one by one, from one row to the other, by a recess in the cylinder head, so as to form a group of two cylinders communicating with each other in order to allow the gases to pass from one to the 'other, regardless of the position of the piston of each of the cylinders.
- the engine comprises at least one fuel injector in the dead space, the fuel injection is carried out at half speed with the crankshaft at large stroke.
- the engine comprises at least one spark plug in the dead space
- the ignition is carried out by known means in half-speed synchronism with the long-stroke crankshaft.
- the distribution is ensured at least by a camshaft engaged at half speed with the long-stroke crankshaft, putting the group of two cylinders in periodic communication with the intake and exhaust pipes at through the intake and exhaust valves at specific times in the four-stroke cycle.
- the expansion phase is carried out simultaneously on each piston of the two grouped cylinders making the two crankshafts cooperate with the engine force.
- the long-stroke crankshaft is connected directly to the external transmission components of the engine, so that the variable-pitch transmission transmits only the engine torque of the short-stroke crankshaft to the long-stroke crankshaft, the engine force on the variable-pitch transmission is therefore dependent on the smaller displacement of the two grouped cylinders.
- variable-pitch transmission between the two crankshafts have the effect of modifying, in the end of compression phase (top dead center of the piston of the largest displacement), an additional space generated in the smallest displacement.
- This additional space being defined with the dead space, so as to modify the volumetric ratio of the engine in the maximum direction at the start of travel of the variable-timing transmission, and in the minimum direction at the end of travel of the variable-timing transmission .
- a hydraulic force amplifier whose slave cylinder acts on the variable-pitch transmission, modifies the additional volume of the small displacement in proportion to the boost pressure, so as to maintain the engine in optimal operating conditions with the minimum of pollution.
- a preset program on a pre-production engine eliminates the excessive stresses of pressures and temperatures.
- Each engine speed is stored in a point progression scale, so as to encompass all of the engine's capabilities.
- Each storage point is a combination formed by the measurements of four sensors: the pressure of the intake air. intake air temperature, engine speed, and engine temperature.
- Each combination is recorded simultaneously with the position of the variable timing transmission control cylinder.
- This program allows the automatic piloting of the series engine identical to that of the engine produced on the test bench. Fuel specifications must also be identical to reproduce exactly the same operating conditions on the series engine, thanks to high-frequency monitoring of the measurements of the four sensors.

- Vr ( ⁇ min imum) should not be deduced from V2 because it is too negligible.
- V1 + [ V2-Vr ( ⁇ max imum) ] + ve ve + Va ( ⁇ max imum) P min imum
- Vr ( ⁇ max imum) must not be deduced from V2 because the mass admitted in V1 and V2 is dependent on the calibration memorized at the maximum boost pressure.
- the minimum volumetric ratio selected can be achieved between two limit switches of the variable-pitch transmission.
- the first limit is achieved with a maximum angular advance of the crankshaft of the short stroke (5) relative to the crank of the long stroke crankshaft (4) so as to determine at the end of compression (top dead center of the piston 6) positioning the piston (8) in relation to the additional space necessary for the dead space (10) to define said minimum volumetric ratio with an angle of at least 90 ° between the connecting rod and the crankshaft of the short-stroke crankshaft (5)
- the second limit is achieved with a lower angular advance of the crankshaft of short stroke (5) compared to the crank of long stroke crankshaft (4) and this in proportion to the decrease in the ratio between the two displacements of the two cylinders (2 and 3) up to the tolerance limit generated by the working space of the two crankshafts (4 and 5) defined by the parallel and close positions of the two grouped cylinders (2 and 3 ) according to the formula of the minimum volumetric ratio below.
- Vr ( ⁇ max imum ) should not be deduced from V2, because the mass admitted in V1 and V2 is dependent on the calibration memorized between the volumetric boost and the boost pressure.
- the maximum volumetric ratio selected is achieved on the basis of the data of the dimensional values defined for the minimum volumetric ratio, in such a way that at the start of the travel of the variable-pitch transmission, the minimum angular advance of the crankshaft at small stroke (5) relative to the crankshaft of the long-stroke crankshaft (4) determines, at the end of compression (top dead center of the piston 6), the positioning of the piston (8) in relation to the additional space necessary for the dead space (1O) to define a maximum volumetric ratio with the connecting rod (9) of the crankshaft of the short-stroke crankshaft (5) separated from its top dead center, so that said connecting rod (9) forms an angle with the crank of the short stroke crankshaft (5).
- We can therefore define the maximum volumetric ratio according to the formula: V1 + [V2-Vr ( ⁇ min imum) ] + ve ve + Va ( ⁇ min imum) P max imum
- V r ( ⁇ min imum) must not be deduced from V2, because the mass of air admitted in V1 and V2 is dependent on the calibration memorized between the volumetric ratio and the atmospheric depression in the intake pipe.
- the above formula recorded in a computer spreadsheet allows you to manage and select the dimensional values between the different elements of the engine, that is to say, the volumetric ratios between the two displacements of the two grouped cylinders (2 , 3) and the ratio formed by the total volume of the two displacements of these cylinders (2,3) with the volume formed by the dead space (40), the calculation is established so that the specifications which have been provided for the maximum and minimum volumetric ratios of the engine may coincide with the corresponding degrees of the minimum and maximum angular advances of the crankshaft at short stroke relative to the crankshaft at long stroke respectively of the start and end of travel of the stalled transmission variable.
- the graphs in FIGS. 10 and 11 show examples of curves of variations in the volumetric ratio and in the volumetric efficiency of the two grouped cylinders (2,3) over 360 ° degrees of angular rotation of the crankshaft of the long stroke crankshaft (4).
- the two crankshafts (4 and 5) are each mechanically connected to a generator, the electrical circuits of the two generators are connected in parallel.
- the capacity of each of the two generators is defined as a function of the power of their respective crankshaft in cruising speed of the engine, therefore, the variable-pitch transmission and the corresponding couplings between the two crankshafts (4 and 5) are limited to efforts to compensate couples.
- the engine brake can be maintained by considering an increase in the power of the engine with the support of a speed limiter on the vehicle.
