Definitions
- the present invention relates to a positive displacement machine with oscillating and rotary pistons.
- Positive displacement machines are known, constituted by a fixed element (called stator) and one or more movable organs that together make, with the stator, cavities (or chambers) whose volume varies periodically with the system's general motion.
- variable volume chambers are placed in communication through appropriate conduits with two environments containing a fluid at different pressures. If the fluid gives energy to the movable organs of the mechanism, this mechanism constitutes an engine. If vice versa the movable organs of the mechanism give energy to the fluid, the mechanism is a fluid machine. (as a pump, a compressor, a fan or a vacuum pump).
- US 3 373 723 A refers to an internal combustion engine having a plurality of oscillating pistons. In this document there is no crankshaft but a "fixed" shaft 26 blocked by the flanges 14 and 20 of the stator and from these prevented from rotation therefrom.
- US 3 320 936 A describes a rotary engine with three oscillating bodies.
- the connecting rods' system is composed of a single crank 80 on which a body is articulated to three equiangolate radial spokes to 120°, on each of which is articulated one of the three connecting rods which in turn are articulated to one of the three oscillating organs.
- US 1 715 490 A discloses a steam driven rotary engine in which a crankshaft is not provided.
- the object of the present invention is to make a positive displacement machine which has a high efficiency both as endothermic and not endothermic engine and as compressor, pump etc.
- the positive displacement machine with oscillating and rotary pistons consists substantially of a fixed stator 2, a rotor 12 and a crankshaft 36 both concentric to the stator 2.
- the fixed stator 2 is in turn formed by a cylindrical body 4 to which two flanges 6 are applied laterally.
- the flanges 6 are connected to the cylindrical body 4 by means of the screw rods 10.
- stator 2 Inside the stator 2 is located in concentric position the rotor 12 formed by two symmetrical parts and precisely two annular flanges 14 reinforced by two discs 16.
- Each oscillating bodies 22 is furthermore articulated, in a median position, by means of a gudgeon pin 26 at the small end 28 of a connecting rod 30 whose the big end 32 is articulated to the crank 34 of the crankshaft 36 ( Figure 4 ).
- crankshaft 36 continues with a shaft extension 38 which is integral with a gear 40 that meshes by means of one or more idler gear 42 a gear 44 integral with the rotor.
- the gears 40 and 44 have the same constructive characteristics and specular shape and share the same gear module with the idler gears 42.
- This assembly of gears is contained by the box 62 integral with the stator 2.
- the idler gears 42 turn around they own axis which is constrained to the box (62) by means of bearings.
- the oscillating bodies 22 and the annular flanges 14 of the rotor 12 have the contiguous profiles and are made gas tight between them, it follows that, during operation, the free ends of each oscillating bodies 22 slide tightly and are gas-tight on the cylindrical surfaces of the shaped inserts 17, while the side plane faces of the oscillating bodies 22 slide tightly and are gas tight on the inner walls of the annular flanges 14 of the rotor 12.
- the number of ports and seats provided in the body of the stator 4 may vary according to the number of phases of the cycle, type of cycle and practical use of the machine.
- the rotor is connected to a drive shaft 60 constituting the power take-off of the machine, which shaft 60 is contained by the box 64 integral with the stator 2.
- the connecting rod 30 has the small end 28 articulated to the gudgeon pin 26 of the oscillating body 22 and the large end 32 articulated to the crank 34 of the crankshaft 36.
- crank 34 in an eccentric anticlockwise rotary motion, forces (via the connecting rod 30) the oscillating body 22 to perform, during rotation, an reciprocating rotary movement between a TDC (top dead center) and an BDC (bottom dead center) and vice versa.
- This rotary oscillation has the pin 24 as the center of rotation and it is cyclic ie, the transition from the TDC (top dead center) to the BDC (bottom dead center) happens in the firsts 90 ° of rotation of the rotor 12 ( figs 5-8 ), and vice versa the transition from the BDC to the TDC happens in the successive rotation of 90° of the rotor 12 according to a cycle that is repeated continuously ( figs 8-11 ). Therefore the complete oscillation of the oscillating body 22 happens every 180 ° of rotation of the rotor 12 ( Figures 5-11 ), therefore every oscillating body will have two positions at TDC (top dead center) and two positions at BDC (bottom dead center) every turn of the rotor 12.
- the air enters the machine through the intake port 48, filling the chamber 20 whose volume cyclically increases from a minimum value to TDC (top dead center) ( Fig. 5 ) to a maximum value to BDC (bottom dead center) ( fig 8 ).
- This phase excluding of the friction of moving parts, does not absorb energy from the system.
- the ratio between the initial (maximum) and final (minimum) chamber volume is called the compression ratio; the final volume of the chamber is called the combustion chamber (or clearance volume) 58.
- This phase excluding of the friction of moving parts, absorbs energy from the system.
- a fuel charge is dosed in the air previously compressed to forming a fuel-air mixture that burst with the spark of ignition spark plug 56, in turn commanded by a device suitably synchronized with the general motion of the system.
- This combustion generates heat which further raises the temperature and pressure of the ignited mixture.
- the pressure applied to the walls of the chamber 20 causes the expansion of the chamber itself (expansion which can occur only during the rotation of the rotor 12) whose volume increases from a minimum value TDC (in which the pressure is maximum) ( Fig. 11 ) to a maximum value BDC (where the pressure is minimal) ( Fig. 14 ).
- This phase excluding of the friction of moving parts, provides energy to the system.
- This phase excluding of the friction of moving parts, does not absorb energy from the system.
- each oscillating body can perform the intake / compression / burst / exhaust cycle typical of a 4-stroke endothermic engine at each revolution of the rotor as indicated in Figures 5-17 .
- each oscillating body can realize the two-stroke intake / compression cycle, typical of a fluid machine, twice with each revolution of the rotor12 as indicated in Figures 18 - 30 .
- the machine can be used as a engine by adopting a cycle with the four phases described above because the burst / expansion phase provides the system with the energy necessary to overcome the friction generated by the moving parts as well as the passive forces that develop during air compression phase in a balance sheet that remains positive even after deducting these losses. ( Fig. 5-17 ).
- the machine can be used as an operating machine by adopting a two-stroke cycle, such as the intake phase and the compression phase, typical of a fluid machine (as a compressor or as a pump, etc.).
- a two-stroke cycle such as the intake phase and the compression phase, typical of a fluid machine (as a compressor or as a pump, etc.).
