Abstract

The present invention solves or at least substantially improves the problems in conventional engines.
[Solution]
An engine (1) having a fixed part (2) and a separate cylinder block (3) held by the fixed part (2) and rotatable. The cylinder block (3) is a rotor and has at least one bore (4) in which the piston (5) reciprocates. The reciprocating motion of the piston (5) is converted into a rotational motion that assists the cylinder block (3) rotating relative to the stationary part (2) to provide an output.

Description

  The present invention relates to engine improvements, and more particularly to an internal combustion engine.

  The most well-known internal combustion engine is an engine having a reciprocating piston, which reciprocates linearly by fuel ignition and combustion.

  The linear motion of the piston is converted into rotational motion by the crankshaft. Typically, the crankshaft is placed outside the engine block and connects the engine to devices such as vehicles and generators.

  In almost all conventional engines, the block and head are fixed and form a non-moving part of the engine. Conventional engines are limited in the amount of work they can provide, so all work and power is transmitted only through the crankshaft. Furthermore, substantial rotational inertia needs to be provided by a flywheel connected to the crankshaft.

  Conventional engines therefore have relatively large and heavy crankshafts and engine blocks (especially if the engine has multiple pistons and cylinders). These large and heavy parts are required as a result of the strong force transmitted by the piston to the crankshaft (and to the engine block via the bearings) during the first ignition, and the piston is connected at the crankshaft. This is because the journal to be moved is along or adjacent to the moving axes of the piston and the connecting rod at the time of ignition.

  A conventional engine has a head part, which is complicated and troublesome. This is because, in each cylinder region, the inside of the head forms one of the two main sides of the combustion chamber, and these two sides are connected by a head gasket and bolts. Combustion pressure is then applied to the piston head, resulting in movement of the piston.

Patent number GB488336 discloses a rotary engine, which is constituted by an exposed one-cylinder engine or a rotating cylinder that is first driven in the direction of its rotation by a crankshaft. This document does not claim an invention having a cylinder positioned to constitute the best leverage and initial drive means to provide rotation. This engine is therefore considered to have the same per cylinder performance as a conventional engine.

This motion is provided and the piston creates a stroke, assisting in the creation of the combustion chamber and cycle.

  Preferably, the piston performs said operation on the rotor by being attached to the rotor on the arm or (connecting arm or rod or plate mechanism).

  Preferably, as one example, the connection of the arm to the rotor secures the first end of the arm near the center of the rotor, so that the longitudinal movement of the arm can be pivoted from the center of the rotor, This causes the piston movement in the cylinder on the arm in the rotor to have the same radius as the cylinder radius.

  Preferably, the arm is placed in an opening in the rotor, such opening having first and second sides and first and second ends, each preferably parallel to each other, The slot design is such that the rotor has a continuous surface on both sides, the rotor rotates in the cylinder slot, and a seal or bearing is fitted or engaged to the side of the rotor.

  Preferably, the mechanism of the second part is a gear (ring or star) and preferably the first part is a wheel or a planetary gear. Preferably, the planetary gear connects the movement of the crank lever to the aforementioned mechanism arm of the piston.

  Preferably, the planetary gear is fixed to the cylinder block or rotor in a precise position by the shaft, and the gear is supported against the shaft on a rotating bearing, the gear being fixed to the engine in a first part ring or star. When the engine is rotated or rotated by this, the planetary gear rotates with the rotor and rotates by connecting with the external gear, thereby moving the crank lever back and forth, resulting in Move the piston back and forth.

  Preferably, when the rotor is rotated, for example by a starter motor that starts the engine, the planetary gear is rotated on the axis of connection to the rotor, the planetary gear teeth are connected to the engine gear, and the planetary gear The crankshaft-shaped lever connected to the piston arm moves by rotating the arm, and the arm and the piston move back and forth, and on the gear, depending on the arrangement of the lever on the arm and one connected to the outside By providing a stationary gear, and the planetary gear rotates on the shaft on the rotor in a direction that converts the pressure or movement of the piston's rearward direction to the forward rotation of the rotor via an external gear.

  Preferably, the arm and the piston rotate with the rotor and move freely in the relative front-rear direction independently of the rotor.

  Preferably, the cylinder block has a second piston similar to the first located in the cylinder block, the second piston operating in the same rotor or cylinder block as the first piston. The second piston is rigidly attached to the rotor, or is independently attached back and forth, and the second piston is similarly attached by the same gear and crank mechanism as the method of fixing the first piston.

  Preferably, when the second piston is connected to the rotor and to the outside of the engine mechanism, the fuel is ignited (burned) in the combustion chamber or the space between the pistons so that there is no backward pressure from this combustion. For example, it does not affect the forward movement of the second piston and rotor so much. This is because the crankshaft type connection is made via a gear, and the gear rotates freely on the bearing on the rotor and moves straight, and as described above, the second piston moves independently. Assisted, which gives great freedom and adjustment distance to get combustion when the pistons come together, there is no loss of kickback movement or pressure, the second piston moves independently Get the best motion effect in this respect.

  Preferably, conventional fuel ignition, air supply, and exhaust removal means are used to provide a practical internal combustion engine.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with particular reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the fuel combustion internal combustion engine 1 has a casing 2 as a fixed portion and a cylinder block 3 separated from the casing 2. The block 3 is a rotor held by the casing 2, and is configured to be freely rotatable about a rotating shaft 14 passing through the center of the block 3.

  It should be understood by those skilled in the art that an external casing is not necessarily required to realize the present invention, and if a circular gear can be provided, a plate-like or block-like external structure can be provided. Any body is acceptable.

  The block 3 is provided with combustion chambers for four cylinders 4, and each cylinder is provided with a piston 5, a connecting rod 6, and a crankshaft 7. The combustion chamber 22 is located on a radial line 23 extending outwardly from the central axis 14 of the engine adjacent to and on the trailing side of the rotational direction of the block.

  The gudgeon pins 9 and 10 connect the piston 5 to the crankshaft 7, and the pinion gear 11 is fixed to the crankshaft 7.

  The block 3 can be rotated around an axis 14. And it rotates in the same direction as the rotation direction of the hollow output part and the central shaft 13.

  The piston 5 and the block 3 are driven in opposite directions by the combustion of the mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber 22, thereby rotating the pinion gear 11 connected to the crankshaft 7. The pinion gear 11 meshes with a ring-shaped gear 12 fixed to the casing 2, and the rotation of the pinion gear 11 meshed with the ring-shaped gear 12 rotates the cylinder block 3 with respect to the casing 2. This provides a constant amount of work, while at the same time returning the piston 5 to a position where it can receive fresh air and fuel and be compressed.

  From the moment of ignition in the combustion chamber 22, the engine block 3 starts to rotate, and the piston 5 moves away, that is, moves away from the cylinder head 20.

  The engine block 3 is moved by the ignition of the fuel, and the duration of the stroke while the fuel is burning and in contact with the piston is 100% optimum angle for rotating the cylinder block relative to the axis of the cylinder block ( The engine block moves by the action of the lever ratio of 90 degrees. The fuel pressure exerts pressure on at least one side of the cylinder and in part on the internal head at the top of the cylinder. The engine block 3 is driven as described above by this fuel pressure. The cylinder head is positioned so as to be optimal for providing rotational torque with respect to the block axis, and is positioned on one side of the block axis and on the trailing side of the line from the block axis. This places the cylinder in an optimal position of 90 degrees (in the propulsion direction that rotates the rotating body). Thereby, the rotation of the engine block can give a force larger than the force obtained by the conventional rotation by the engine crankshaft.

  The engine of the present invention is driven by the fuel pressure applied to the rotating block head. Opposite the combustion chamber, i.e. in this embodiment, the piston head, pushes the gas or reacts, the pressure on the cylinder head is maximized and the engine is secured by cylinder parts and gears, beneficially By transmitting the pressure to the housing or base that is in use and stationary, the pressure is maximized as described above. With the configuration and operation of such components, the rotational motion of the engine block including the rotation of the central output shaft and the operation of the engine are assisted by the pressure on the piston head and the piston (reaction of fuel combustion). When the piston is lowered by about half, the angle of the crankshaft journal is 90 degrees with respect to the axis of the crankshaft where the angle of the crankshaft journal is the optimum value. However, the connecting rod to the upper piston is not directly at this position, but has an angle (sideways), so that maximum efficiency is not obtained at that position. When the crankshaft is in any other position, the angle of the connection point between the journal and the piston is less than 90 degrees with respect to the crankshaft axis when the piston is powered downward.

  The engine 1 can operate in a two-stroke cycle. In opposite positions, two pairs of pistons 5 are shown at opposite ends of the cylinder 4. The pair of pistons 5 is near the end of the compression stroke and reaches the area where ignition begins at the final top dead center. On the opposite face of the cylinder block 3, the bottom end of the stroke, ie the opposite pair of pintons 5 at the end of the power stroke is shown.

  The engine 1 can also operate in a four-stroke cycle, or can be applied to other cycles by changing to appropriate ignition timing, fuel and air charge timing and supply means. The ignition timings of the different pistons are made sequentially. That is, ignition is performed in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4 in the clockwise direction. The timing of the piston 5 affects the position of the pinion gear with respect to the meshing of the teeth of the ring gear.

  The hollow shaft 13 is an example of how the engine provides power. In this example, fuel and air are supplied to the engine 1 through the hollow shaft 13, and exhaust gas is also discharged through the hollow shaft 13.

  The engine 1 is shown to operate in a clockwise direction of rotation and to be installed or mounted in a horizontal direction. The engine 1 can have various connecting means for transmitting driving force, such as a connecting means for transmitting driving force directly to the shaft 13 or the rotating block 2, for example. Can be used for other types of engine applications (not shown). The air supply means may be connected via one end 15 of the shaft 13 or by a manifold (circular, not shown) on one side of the engine casing 2. Further, a manifold may be provided on the surface or side of the area of the block 3 that is connected to the casing 2 to be stationary, and a bearing or a seal member may be provided as necessary. When air is fed into the combustion chamber via the intake port (with a filter), the combustion air intake port can be provided on the side surface of the engine block 3, and the exhaust means is provided on the other side surface of the engine block 3. be able to. The engine block 3 can be provided with a sealed surface around a circular edge on the outside, and a suitable seal can also be provided on the inside of the cylinder and block.

  Such a seal is provided on each edge of the circular side surface outside the block 3, so that a lubricating oil chamber can be formed in the middle, and a sealed chamber is provided on each side of the engine block 3. It is possible to configure. The combustion air intake port and the exhaust port may be arranged at positions opposite to the circular edge outside the block 3 by a connection port to the casing 2, and may be configured to communicate with the exhaust gas port and the air intake port of the rotating block. it can.

  The engine 1 can be configured to have means for supplying air to the cylinder, or can be an air-cooled type by providing a vent or a slot in the cover of the housing 2 in the engine block. It is also possible to make the engine water-cooled. In this case, a custom designed radiator that rotates with the engine block 3 and is placed around the outer edge of the engine block 3 can be provided. Preferably, each radiator is dedicated to each cylinder or can be provided in the engine, more preferably a dedicated cooling water pump, thermostat, pressure relief cap, temperature gauge, air flow fan. Alternatively, the slot can be provided in a cover or the like.

  A plurality of dedicated radiators to the multi-cylinder engine may have a manifold connected to all of them to obtain a common air flow. In this case, the radiator can be provided with an input port and an output port that close the radiator when the radiator, the engine, or the cylinder is broken. By doing in this way, it can avoid affecting the part other than the damaged part.

  The engine is started by conventional means such as a starter motor. The starter motor rotates the flywheel or rotor and the first piston moves away from the second piston due to deceleration and either inhales or allows inflow of clean air for combustion. The fuel is introduced, the first piston moves forward and accelerates back to the rear end and the end of the combustion chamber of the second piston, compresses the air and fuel to provide a spark or flame, Ignite. The fuel pressure accelerates the drive by the second piston of the rotor, thereby rotating the drive shaft (or other means), thereby driving the engine.

  At the same time, the second piston is moving forward inside the circular cylinder (rotating with the rotor), and the first piston decelerates again, effectively moving backwards.

  The operation of the first piston, the operation of the second piston, and the phase can be said to be the power stroke of the piston in the cycle ignition process.

  When the first piston comes to the end of this (virtual) backward movement, the gear mechanism and crank lever accelerate the first piston back to the vicinity of the rear side of the second piston and act accordingly During that time, exhaust used air and fuel (exhaust gas). This gas is preferably output from the cylinder via a port or valve (available through the cylinder exactly at that position). If the ignition of the engine is a two-stroke cycle, fresh air is introduced before the piston returns.

  The engine repeats the cycle with the first piston moving away from the rear side of the second piston in the opposite direction and making this movement.

  If the engine is a two-cycle ignition stroke type, intake and exhaust are similar to those of a normal two-stroke cycle engine system. However, the present invention is improved because the piston moves in one direction and rotational direction.

  When high power or balance is required, multiple pairs of pistons are used for each arc cylinder.

  Preferably, the rotor opening to the piston arm is used to flush out lubricating oil, excess or remaining combustion gas, and is used as a passage for air or exhaust gas that is drawn into or discharged from the cylinder.

  The overall diameter of the cylinder is large enough to match the diameter of the piston, and the engine power is large. As the overall diameter of the cylinder and the corresponding piston diameter increase, the torque delivered from the piston to the drive shaft by combustion of the fuel can be higher than would otherwise be obtained in a conventional engine.

  An example of the oversize feature described above is that the cylinder's overall, or outer diameter, for an average use, such as that used in a medium-sized car, is 1 meter while the inside of the cylinder The diameter of the piston and the diameter of the piston are 100 mm. In such an engine having a cylinder that is oversized relative to the size of the piston, many pistons are used. (For special environment and cylinder size)

  As a feature of this oversized engine, a larger inner side (center position) portion used for a space for engine parts can be obtained.

  In the present invention, one cylinder is described for the same shaft, but two or more cylinders may be provided. Also, if necessary, the diameter can be minimized to reduce engine space.

  In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, if the engine uses multiple sets of pistons for one cylinder and rotor, the ignition is performed sequentially (ie, one piston is ignited at a time). Done.) This sequence may be, for example, 1, 2, 3 clockwise around the cylinder, or alternately ignited sequentially from one side of the cylinder to the other. Again, the two pistons are not ignited at the same time.

  For example, if only two pairs were used, the piston ignition would be 1,2. If there are three sets, they are fired in the order of 1, 2, and 3. If four pistons are used, then 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. The second piston can be placed on the opposite side of the cylinder of the first piston.

  In actuality, any of the ignition cycles described above can be applied to the engine, and other ignition cycles can be adopted because the piston operates independently.

  According to another embodiment of the present invention, a crank action mechanism, i.e. a crankshaft or scotch yoke, is placed inside the cylinder and a connecting rod is connected to the piston. A shaft is connected to the outside of the cylinder through the opening of the cylinder.

  In one embodiment, a rotating shaft rotated by gears provided at both ends is used instead of a reciprocating arm to the rotating rotor or to the first or second piston provided through the rotor. Provide and operate other similar mechanisms in the crankshaft or scotch yoke or piston, preferably one side cylinder, as the engine rotates. This arrangement eliminates the need to provide an extended slot for the reciprocating shaft in the rotor.

  In one embodiment of the last paragraph, the piston is placed on the crankshaft or scotch yoke, and the connecting rod connecting the piston and the crankshaft or scotch yoke inside the piston and the sealing ring at both ends. The connecting means is provided.

  As another embodiment, preferably with respect to the last paragraph, the first piston may be moved via a crank mechanism in a cylinder located at the rear end of the first piston. And preferably, a crankshaft can be provided in the rear end of the first piston in order to minimize the required space. In this case, the mechanism operates in the same manner as described when the crank is outside the cylinder.

  In this embodiment, the air drawn from the cylinder through the shaft and bearings, if necessary, through the cylinder is directed through the shaft to the piston area. The shaft can be deliberately oversized if necessary as a passage for air. The piston has a port or valve for introducing the intake air into the combustion chamber. This port or valve is controlled by rotation of the crankshaft and / or reciprocation of the piston in the cylinder. In this embodiment, the cylinder itself rotates and the cylinder rotor and slot opening are removed. The cylinder is provided on the drive shaft through a central part inside the cylinder. The cylinder is placed in a fixed engine housing, which has a bearing and a seal for supporting the drive shaft.

  In another embodiment, the shaft to the crank in the cylinder is connected to the outside of the drive mechanism, for example, rotating a gear wheel, planetary gear, or a gear wheel such as a gear, Connected to the matching gear, ring gear, and star gear that are fixedly placed in the housing. The operation of the piston is the same as described above.

  The invention described in the embodiment or example described above has a shaft from the cylinder to the centrally located drive shaft, which preferably has a gear on the first end adjacent to the drive shaft. This gear is connected to a second gear that rotates on the drive shaft, and is fixed to the drive shaft when the drive shaft rotates. For this reason, the shaft is rotated, the shaft at the second end (the end inside the cylinder) is rotated, and then the crank action mechanism connected to the first piston is rotated. This shaft is used in embodiments that use a rotor that rotates and extends into the cylinder, or in embodiments where the cylinder itself rotates and the rotor is removed.

  In one embodiment, when the engine is started, at least one counterweight that reciprocates is provided for each piston, and the piston weight moves from one point to the second point on the path of rotation of the engine. Accordingly, the balance of the engine cylinder block or the housing or the rotor may be prevented from being lost. Alternatively, for example, in the case of an engine having three pistons, each piston may be ignited simultaneously.

  Further, as one embodiment, a chain and a chain sprocket may be used instead of a gear so that both ends of the crankshaft are connected to the outside of the engine. Also, in one embodiment, the engine is made from the piston cylinder block or / and the main rotating parts of the housing, and the engine has two level-out type halves inside and around the cylinder block. It has a space where engine crankshaft, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearing (at both ends) are located, and these are designed to fit precisely. These components are connected to each other to constitute a connection between the oil pan of the piston and the crank engine block (an engine fixing component).

  Further, in the embodiment in which the rotor rotating in one side of the arc-shaped cylinder of the present invention is used, the moving piston can be moved while rotating on the shaft by a hemispherical mechanism. This sphere is designed to match the curve in the fixed piston at one end of the cylinder, and at least one section on one side of the sphere is shaped somewhat flat so that the sphere ignites A cycle and stroke are generated, and one side of the combustion chamber is configured to replace the first piston behind the second piston.

  As a variant of the invention, the referenced piston and crank mechanism of the first independently moving piston can be replaced by a rotary action piston inside the cylinder, where the rotary action piston is placed and used. Both are matched to changes in the design (shape) of unique parts. The rotary piston transmits the combustion energy of the fuel to the rotary cylinder via an engine head-like portion fixed to the rotating cylinder or behind the second piston. The rotary action is connected to the second gear by a conventional shaft connected via the first gear.

  In this embodiment, the rotor is shaped to provide the required ignition cycle as described above, the combustion chamber is placed on one side and itself is required to drive the engine. Absent. A fixed head formed across the cylinder driven by the fuel ignition pressure is provided adjacent to the rotor. This head portion may be shaped as described above to match the requirements required for the rotating rotary piston used.

  Thus, the engine described herein would prove to be beneficial to those that benefit from a high mechanical efficiency, small and light, and therefore a fuel efficient engine.

  While the invention has been described and shown as considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. The modifications are not limited to what is described in detail herein, but should be construed to be consistent with the scope of the appended claims to include any and all equivalent devices.
