HRP970252A2 - Direct conversion of linear motion energy generated by a double-piston engine to electric energy - Google Patents

Description

The field of technology

The field of technology to which the invention belongs can be classified under H02K and F02B according to the international classification of patents. H92K refers to the generation of electrical energy, and classification F02B refers to internal combustion engines in general.

Technical problem

The first technical problem that is solved by this invention is the direct conversion of linear motion energy in a boxer engine into electrical energy. Another technical problem that is solved by the invention relates to the fact that the converter also serves as a starter when starting the engine, that is, that the converter itself has a double role. The third technical problem that is solved along the way is giving the engine exceptional elasticity - by changing the basic parameters, first of all the compression ratio.

State of the art

Given that linear electric motors and/or generators (for example, vibrators) exist and are used on the market, the use of such a linear generator in itself is not new. Various versions of boxer engines with internal combustion are also very well known and in themselves are nothing new.

Classically, a boxer engine can be used to obtain electrical energy by converting the linear motion of the pistons into rotary motion in some of the known ways, and then such rotary motion into the rotary motion of the rotor of the electric generator.

In contrast to such a way of obtaining electricity, this invention uses all the good sides of boxer engines and classic linear electric generators. It is not necessary to convert linear motions into rotary motions, and the linear electric generator can be used as a linear electric motor to start the boxer engine itself.

A solution to a technical problem

Figures 1 and 2 show a schematic solution to the given technical problem. The purpose of picture 1 is to explain the performance itself, while in the second picture we can see how the operating characteristics of the given device can be changed by changing the compression ratio in such a way that the cylinders are spread apart. The positions in the pictures are identical and indicate:

1.) basic generator housing,

2.) boxer engine cylinder,

3.) the space above the piston,

4.) boxer engine piston,

5.) the space above the piston,

6.) the shaft that binds the pistons

7.) linear generator/motor,

8.) quiet coil,

9.) windings of still coils,

10.) moving block,

11.) coil of the moving block,

12.) brushes,

13.) brush spring,

14.) expendable sliding electrode,

15.) collector,

16.) screw with shaft,

17.) left cylinder bracket

18.) basic support connected to the linear generator (7)

19.) right cylinder support,

20.) frames on which the cylinders can slide,

21.) the space within which the cylinders can escape.

In the case itself (1) there is a classic boxer engine consisting of two cylinders (2), two pistons (4) and two spaces each above (5) and below (3) the pistons. The pistons are connected by a shaft (6), which is not rigidly connected to the pistons themselves, but has some freedom. The boxer engine can be made in any known type, and since it is not the subject of the invention, the type execution itself is not drawn.

The linear electric generator (7) consists of a stationary part (8) and a moving block (10). The bearings that enable the movement of the moving block, stops, etc., are of standard design and are not shown in Figure 1. The stationary part (8) through which the moving block (10) moves is carried in a suitable armature that enables the normal closing of the magnetic flux coil (9) on whose contacts A generate an electromotive force (EMS) in accordance with Lentz's law of induction.

The movable block (10) with the coil (11) which is wound on the corresponding core, for example made of soft iron, has 2 collectors (15) which supply from contact B the current which makes the corresponding core magnetic. The collectors (15) extend on both sides of the shaft (6) in such a way that, for example, the upper half forms one pole and the lower half the other pole.

Two pairs of brushes (12) rest on the collectors (15) themselves, which ensure safe contact with the collectors during sliding. The brushes (12) consist of the usual parts, a spring (13) that regulates the pressure of the consumable electrode (14) on the collector (15).

The engine starting method is very simple and one of the possible starting methods will be shown. By applying a direct current of a certain strength to contacts B, the movable block (10) becomes magnetic. By applying a sawtooth voltage of a certain frequency to the contacts, a stationary block (8) forces the movable block (10) to oscillate with a certain frequency, which moves the pistons left-right and leads to the start of the boxer engine.

The movement of the boxer motor also moves the moving block (10), which, if supplied with direct current, acts similar to a permanent magnet that moves inside the coil of the stationary block. The movement of such a magnet is generated by the EMS at contacts A. A certain amount of energy must be converted into power to power the moving block. The rest of the energy can be used normally after certain converters that ensure the stability of the I-V characteristic, as well as the frequency itself.

In addition, the entire engine has the possibility of adjusting the parameter of the Carnot cycle, more precisely the compression ratio. For this purpose, it is possible to spread the cylinders (with the help of the device shown in Figure 2) in such a way that the screw (16) with the shaft that has the appropriate threads and which is only inserted in the basic support (18) is turned closer or further apart by its rotation. ) and (19), and thus the cylinders inside the frame (20), which enables their movement in space (21). Such moving closer or further apart, given that the shaft connecting the pistons is without this possibility, leads to a reduction or increase of the compression ratio in the engine itself and makes it more applicable.

It should be mentioned that several parallel boxer motors can be connected to drive one and the same linear generator if the need arises by connecting them to the shaft (6) that drives the moving block.

Industrial applicability of the invention

The industrial applicability of the invention in the broadest sense is unquestionable, given that it is a device that has the task of effectively converting the energy of the linear motion of boxer engine pistons into electrical energy without a rotary type intermediate converter.
