Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clean engine that does not emit exhaust gas.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, gasoline engines, diesel engines and the like have been used as engines for vehicles such as automobiles. In these gasoline engines and diesel engines, a piston slidably provided inside a cylinder is reciprocated by combustion energy of fuel to rotate a crankshaft, thereby obtaining power.

[0003]

By the way, since the internal combustion engine such as the gasoline engine and the diesel engine burns fuel such as gasoline and light oil to generate power, a huge amount of fuel is burned when burning the fuel. The engine must be cooled due to the generation of excessive heat, and for this reason it is necessary to use a material with good heat dissipation for the engine itself, or to form a complex shape to increase the surface area and improve the heat dissipation effect. However, the weight and complexity of the engine itself have increased. Moreover, it was necessary to provide a particularly large-scale cooling device. Moreover, when the fuel burns, a very large noise is generated, and it is necessary to provide a muffling device, resulting in a problem that the cost is increased. In addition, there is a drawback that the exhaust gas is discharged, which adversely affects the environment.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a clean engine which does not generate heat, noise and exhaust gas and can be economically manufactured.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the clean engine of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a clean engine. A cylinder 3 is formed on the upper side of the engine body 2 that constitutes the clean engine 1, and a crank chamber 4 is formed on the lower side thereof. An electromagnet 6 formed by winding a coil 5 around a magnetic body is provided above the cylinder 3, and electric power is supplied to the coil 5 from a power supply unit 8 via a distributor 7. This distributor 7 has a power supply unit 8
The timing of supply of electric power supplied from the coil to the coil 5 of the electromagnet 6 is adjusted. Inside the cylinder 3,
A piston 11 made of a ferromagnetic material (magnet) is provided slidably. This piston 11 has a connecting rod 1
One end of 2 is rotatably connected by a pin 13, and the other end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to a crankshaft 14 rotatably supported in the crank chamber 4. There is.

Here, the engine body 2 is, for example,
It is formed of a non-magnetic material such as synthetic resin. Further, the piston 11 has the same magnetic pole on the upper side as the magnetic pole on the lower side of the electromagnet 6 when electric power is supplied to the electromagnet 6. In addition, on the side wall of the cylinder 3, a groove 16 is formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the electromagnet 6 in the vicinity of the lower end of the electromagnet 6, and a groove 16 is formed in the circumferential direction. Intake of outside air and cylinder 3
The air inside is exhausted. When the piston 11 moves in the vertical direction, the vertical movement of the piston 11 is transmitted to the crankshaft 14 by the connecting rod 12, and the crankshaft 14 is rotated. Lubricating oil is stored in the lower portion of the crank chamber 3, and when the crankshaft 14 rotates, the flywheel 1 provided on the crankshaft 14 is rotated.
Lubricating oil is sprinkled by 7 on each member.

Next, the operation of the clean engine 1 having the above structure will be described in the order of steps. (1) As shown in FIG. 2A, when the piston 11 slightly passes through the top dead center A, electric power is supplied from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 5 of the electromagnet 6 via the distributor 7. Then, a magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet 6. Here, since the magnetic pole at the lower end of the electromagnet 6 has the same magnetic pole as the magnetic force on the upper side of the piston 11, a repulsive force is generated between the electromagnet 6 and the piston 11. Then, due to this repulsive force, the piston 11 is pushed down and moves downward in the cylinder 3.

(2) As shown in FIG. 2B, when the piston 11 passes through the bottom dead center B, the distributor 7 shuts off the power supply from the power source section 8.
No magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet 6. As a result, the piston 11 moves upward due to inertia. (3) The piston 11 moves upward, and again FIG.
When passing through the top dead center A as shown in, the electric power from the power source unit 8 is supplied to the coil 5 by the distributor 7 again, and the magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet 6, and the electromagnet 6 and the piston 1
A repulsive force is again generated between the piston 11 and the piston 1, and the piston 11 moves downward in the cylinder 3.

By repeating the above steps (1) to (3), the piston 11 slides vertically in the cylinder 3. And this piston 11 is the cylinder 3
When the sliding movement is made in the inside, the sliding movement of the piston 11 is transmitted to the crankshaft 14 by the connecting rod 12 to rotate the crankshaft 14, and power can be obtained from the rotational movement of the crankshaft 14. As described above, according to the clean engine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the distributor 7 that adjusts the timing of the power supply to the coil 5 of the electromagnet 6 is adjusted.
Is provided, the electromagnet 6 is set at the optimum timing.
It is possible to generate a magnetic force in the vertical direction, and extremely efficiently move the piston 11 up and down to rotate the crankshaft 14 and extract power.

Further, since the power source of the clean engine 1 is electric power, heat is not generated by burning fuel as in an internal combustion engine, and therefore a cooling device for cooling the heat is provided. There is no need, and the weight and simplification of the entire device can be achieved. Further, since no exhaust gas is generated by burning the fuel, an extremely clean engine can be obtained. Moreover, since the material of the engine body 2 itself can be formed of resin or the like, the weight of the clean engine 1 itself can be reduced.

Next, as a second embodiment, the piston 11
A clean engine 1A using an electromagnet will be described with reference to FIG. This clean engine 1A piston 1
1 is made of a magnetic material, and this piston 11a
A coil 31 is wound around to form an electromagnet. Further, a contact point 32 to which the coil 31 is connected is vertically provided at a predetermined interval on the outer peripheral portion of the piston 11a.
a and 32b are provided. Contact points 33a, 33b are provided on the side wall of the cylinder 3 at substantially the same intervals as the contact points 32a, 32b of the piston 11a. The contact points 33a, 33b are connected from the power source section 8 to the distributor 7. Power is being supplied.

Then, the piston 11a moves to the top dead center A (see FIG. 2).
(See (A)) only, as shown in FIG. 4, the contacts 32a, 32b of the piston 11a and the contacts 33a, 33b of the cylinder 3 are in contact with each other for conduction, and the power supply unit 8 passes through the distributor 7. The electric power thus supplied is supplied to the coil 31 to generate magnetic force in the piston 11a. The magnetic pole of the piston 11a is opposite to the magnetic pole of the electromagnet 6. That is, the current is supplied so that the upper magnetic pole of the piston 11a and the lower magnetic pole of the electromagnet 6 are the same magnetic pole.

Next, the operation of the clean engine 1A having the above structure will be described in the order of steps. (1) As shown in FIG. 2A, when the piston 11a slightly passes through the top dead center A, electric power is supplied from the power source section 8 to the coil 5 of the electromagnet 6 through the distributor 7. A magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet 6. Further, at this time, since the contacts 32a, 32b of the piston 11a and the contacts 33a, 33b of the cylinder 3 are in contact with each other, electric power is supplied from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 31 of the piston 11a via the distributor 7, Magnetic force is generated in the piston 11a. Here, since the upper magnetic pole of the piston 11a and the lower magnetic pole of the electromagnet 6 are the same magnetic pole, a repulsive force is generated between the electromagnet 6 and the piston 11a, and this repulsive force causes the piston 11a to move. Is pushed down and moves. When the piston 11a moves downward, the contacts 32a, 32 of the piston 11a
By separating b from the contact points 33a and 33b of the cylinder 3, the supply of electric power from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 31 of the piston 11a is interrupted, and the magnetic force is not generated in the piston 11a.

(2) As shown in FIG. 2 (B), when the piston 11a passes through the bottom dead center B, the distributor 7 cuts off the power supply from the power source section 8 to cause the electromagnet 6 to move. The magnetic force disappears, and the piston 11a moves upward due to the inertial force. (3) When the piston 11a moves upward and reaches the top dead center A as shown in FIG. 2A, the power from the power supply unit 8 is again supplied to the coil 5 of the electromagnet 6 by the distributor 7. . Also, the contact 32a of the piston 11a,
When 32b and the contacts 33a and 33b of the cylinder 3 come into contact again, electric power is also supplied to the coil 31 of the piston 11a and a magnetic force is also generated in the piston 11a. Then, a repulsive force is generated again between the electromagnet 6 of the cylinder 3 and the piston 11a, and the repulsive force causes the piston 11a to move.
Moves downward.

The piston 11a is connected to the cylinder 3
When the sliding movement is made inside, the sliding movement of the piston 11a is transmitted to the crankshaft 14 by the connecting rod 12 to rotate the crankshaft 14, and power can be obtained from the rotational movement of the crankshaft 14. As described above, according to the clean engine 1A of the other embodiment, magnetic force is generated in each of the electromagnet 6 and the piston 11a.
The repulsive force by each magnetic force can be strengthened,
You can get a lot of power. In the above embodiment, the distributor 7 supplies the electric power to the coil 31 of the piston 11a. However, the electric power is directly supplied from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 31 of the piston 11a so that the piston 11a moves up and down. The timing of power supply may be set.

Next, the clean engine 1 of the third embodiment
B will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the clean engine 1B is provided with a coil (electromagnet) 41 on the outer periphery of the cylinder 3, and electric power is supplied to the coil 41 from a power supply section 8 via a distributor 7. It has become. In addition, distributor 7
For example, when the piston 11b made of a magnetic material such as iron is at the top dead center, the power is supplied from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 41. According to the clean engine 1B configured as described above, when the piston 11b is at the top dead center (the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 5), the distributor 7 supplies the power from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 41, By generating a magnetic force in 3, the piston 11b is drawn into the cylinder 3. Then, when the piston 11b is drawn into the cylinder 3, the distributor 7 cuts off the supply of electric power from the power source unit 8 and releases the generation of magnetic force in the cylinder 3.

As a result, the piston 11b moves further downward due to inertia and passes through the bottom dead center, then moves upward and reaches the top dead center again. And the piston 11b
When reaches the top dead center, the distributor 7 supplies the electric power from the power supply unit 8 to the coil 41 again, and the piston 11b passing through the top dead center is drawn into the cylinder 3 again to move downward. Then, as described above, by repeating the reciprocating motion of the piston 11b,
The reciprocating motion of the piston 11b is transmitted to the crankshaft 14 via the connecting rod 12, and the crankshaft rotates.
In the above embodiment, an example of a clean engine using a switch as the distributor 7 for timing the supply of electric power from the power supply unit 8 will be described with reference to FIG.

What is shown in the figure is a clean engine 1C of the above-described third embodiment in which the power is supplied by a switch as a distributor 7 by a switch. A switch 42 is provided at the upper end of the cylinder 3 of the clean engine 1C. Contacts 43a that constitute the switch 42,
The lower contact 43b of the 43b is supported by a support plate 44 having a spring property such as phosphor bronze extended from the inner wall of the cylinder 3 with a slight clearance from the upper contact 43a. The upper contact 43a is directly connected to the power supply unit 8, and the lower contact 43b is connected to one lead wire of the coil 41. The other lead wire of the coil 41 is directly connected to the power supply unit 8.

A pressing plate 45 for pressing the contact 43b below the switch 42 is attached to the upper part of the piston 11b by a screw 46.
Is always urged upward by the compression spring 47.
As described above, according to the clean engine 1C having the switch 42 at the upper end portion of the cylinder 3, when the piston 11b moves to the top dead center, the pressing plate 45 provided on the upper part of the piston 11b causes the pressure below the switch 42. Contact 43
b is pressed and comes into contact with the upper contact 43a. As a result, the electric power from the power supply unit 8 is supplied to the coil 41, a magnetic force is generated in the cylinder 3, and the piston 11b is retracted. Then, the piston 11b is drawn in and moves downward, so that the contact point 43 on the lower side by the pressing plate 45 is moved.
When the pressure of b is released, the lower contact 43b and the upper contact 4
3a is separated and the supply of electric power from the power supply unit 8 is cut off.

Further, due to the inertia, the piston 11b moves upward through the bottom dead center and reaches the top dead center again, so that the contacts 43a and 43b come into contact with each other in the same manner as described above, and the power from the power source unit 8 again. Electric power is supplied to the coil 41. Since the compression spring 47 is provided between the pressing plate 45 and the upper surface of the piston 11b, excessive pressing of the lower contact 43b by the pressing plate 45 is prevented.

A clean engine 1D provided with other switches will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 5
1 is a switch. The contacts 52a and 52b forming the switch 51 are supported by a contact support member 53 attached to the engine body 2 with a slight clearance. In addition, the tip of the lower contact 53b is connected to the upper contact 5
It is bent to the 3a side. And, these contact points 53a,
The contact 53 a of 53 b is connected to the coil 41, and the contact 53 b is connected to the power supply unit 8. A bracket 55 is attached to the outer periphery of a flywheel 54 attached to the drive shaft of the engine body 2, and a tip of the bracket 55 has a contact pressing member slightly curved in the inner peripheral direction. 56 are provided.
The contact pressing member 56 has a hole formed therein,
Insert the screw 57 into the hole to attach the bracket 55.
The contact pressing member 56 is fixed to the bracket 55 by being screwed in.

Then, when the bracket 54 rotates with the rotation of the flywheel 54 and the piston 11b reaches the top dead center, the inner contact side of the contact pressing member 56 fixed to the bracket 54 causes the upper contact. 53a is pressed. When the contact 53a is pressed, the contact 53a comes into contact with the lower contact 53b,
Electric power from the power supply unit 8 is supplied to the coil 41, and the magnetic force of the coil 41 pulls the piston 11b downward. After that, when the contact pressing member 56 passes the outer peripheral side of the contact 53a, the contact between the contacts 53a and 53b is released, the power supply to the coil 41 is cut off, and the piston 11b moves by inertia. .

As described above, according to the switch 51, the contact time between the contacts 53a and 53b can be adjusted very accurately by adjusting the fixing angle of the contact pressing member 56 with the screw 57. The specific structures and materials of the clean engines 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D are not limited to those in the above embodiment.

Electric power is supplied to the electromagnet by the distributor at the optimum timing, a magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet, and a repulsive force or a suction force is generated between the electromagnet and the piston, so that the piston reciprocates. Power can be efficiently obtained from the crankshaft.
Further, as compared with a conventional engine that burns fuel to generate power, heat is not generated and noise can be reduced. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a large-scale cooling device and a silencer. Therefore, the apparatus itself can be simplified and the weight can be reduced, and as a result, the cost can be reduced. Moreover, since no exhaust gas is generated, an extremely clean engine can be obtained.
