Definitions

  • I 7 I Such vibrations, for instance in combustion which appear especially with motors having only r the machine.
  • The' stationary motor body is, howevengnevertheless exposed to 'balancedaround this axis, so that the machine body with respect to the said pressure reaction impulsesoscillates asa pendulum with atleast th'e'fly wheel has mink ig The' -impuls'esfin this reaction moment which'ar ,stiiimor'euneven than those which. are taken:upffbyfthejflylwheel are transierred directly through to the.
  • the invention relates in the first place to machines .ibein'g-Tasymm'etrical with respect to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft and for instance hav inc vertical cylinder, whereby balance weights j are provided which dynamically balance the t machine around its axis of rotation.
  • the weight :of the machine becomes by this decidedly greater,
  • the fly wheel is imagined to be stationary while the motor bodyis allowed to rotate, with the mere difference that the fly wheel and the motor body have changed places.
  • a construction with rotating cylinder plant is often used on aero motors.
  • the motor body will of course in this case be accelerated to the same degree as the fly wheel according to the aforesaid but in opposite direction, and v the acceleration, on a radius of inertia of 0.5 m., during a quarter of a revolution is 0.5 m./sec.
  • the power of acceleration is of course independent of whether the fly wheel or the motorbody or both rotate, as both are subject to the same turning moment although in opposite directions. If, therefore, the fly wheel rotates with 5 revolutions/sec. and the motor body ismade free so that it can rotate about the motor shaft, it will also now be subject to an acceleration of 0.5 m./sec.
  • a spring device is disposed between the motor body and its support, which device brings the motor body back towards the original position after each reaction impulse while delivering an even turning moment to the surroundings, whereby the motor body makes a pendulum movement with the crankshaft of the motor as the axis of rotation. Because of the fact that the motor additionally is balanced about this axis, vibrations originating from the turning reaction moments are effectively avoided.
  • the said spring device is preferably combined with means which automatically set the same, and thereby increase the spring power on increasing reaction turning moment and vice versa, so that the device can take up turning moments varying within broad limits without altering the position of the motor.
  • a further feature of the invention is to provide means for eliminating vibrations in the neighbourhood of the motor, originating from the unbalance of the reciprocating members (piston, connecting rod), of the motor. It is known to counterbalance said members by means which are heavier than the same, and which are adapted to move in paths equivalent to those of the members.
  • themeans comprise movable eccentric disc elements journalled on eccentrics on the crankshaft, and balance weights Journalled on said elements, whereby means are provided for guiding said weights.
  • FIG. I shows a longitudinalv section through a one-cylinder internal combustion motorhcon structed accordingto the invention.
  • Fig. II shows the motor viewedin the direction of the shaft. partly in section on the llneiII-QII Orr-fer.
  • Fig. III shows adiagram illustrating the work I ing manner of the motor.'-
  • Fig. VI shows 'the same element partly inan axial section.
  • l a Figs. VII and VIII show side elevations of details pertaining to the same embodiment.
  • Fig. IX shows another embodiment of means for balancing the movable members of a machine viewed in a vertical section in the plane of. the crankshaft on the line IX-IX of Fig. K.
  • Fig. X shows a section on the line X-e-X of Fig. IX.
  • Figs. XI and X11 illustrate diagrammatically the machine according to this embodiment and adetail thereof, respectively.
  • Fig. XIII shows a portion of a piston machine embodiment of the int:
  • crank case below the shaft the crank case is,formed as a balance weight 20 (Fig. II), which statically and dynamically balances the motor body which is pivotable in the frame bearings I! about the axis of the crankshaft.
  • the weight of the motor aggregate becomes in this way greater below than above the crankshaft.
  • the linear extension of the motor is nevertheless smaller in the lower part.
  • the motor is preferably symmetrical on each side of the symmetry plane IIII (Fig. I), in which all the forces on the piston, the connect ing rod and the crankshaft are active.
  • a spring device which in the embodiment according to Figs. I--IV consists in one or several springs 22, connected to a lever 21,
  • a piston 24 is arranged which moves in a cylinder 25 which, through a conduit 26, is in servo-motor-cylinder 21 is connected an oil con-' duit 36 which is provided with a check valve 31.
  • An oil discharge channel 38 extends from the cylinder 2? at a distance above its bottom.
  • the pipe 50 may be provided with spherical surfaces'engaging flange 52 and a flange of the silencer 5i.
  • Packing rings 53 may be disposed in said surfaces.
  • the cylinder ll may oscillate relatively to the stationary silencer 5
  • the mode of operation is as follows:
  • the pulsatingreactions acting on the motor body l0, H, with its balance weight 20 are, during normal operation of the motor, transferred through the lever 23 and the spring member 22 to the stationary frame 88.
  • the motor body thereby acts as an oscillating fly wheel, while the spring 22 transfers an equalized reaction turn- 1 ing moment to the surroundings;
  • the spring is automatically set against the lever- 23 by the servo-motor cooperating with the spring, dependent on the size of the reaction impulses on the motor housing Hi, .[If the lever 23 is iturned downwardly in Fig.
  • the slide valve 28- will in a certain positionopen connection with the conduit 83 for pressure 011, hich flows into the cylinder chamber 25 below the piston 24, resulting in a compression and setting of the spring 22.
  • the slide valve 28 In a certain upper .position of the slide valve 28 its channel '32 on the contrary, communicates with the discharge conduit 84, and oil can now flow out from the cylinder chamber below the piston 25.
  • This setting lengthor the piston stroke of the cylinder 25 is in accordance with the invention so determined that it is several times, for instance ten times, greater than the oscillation amplitude of the motor body III, II.
  • this oscillation amplitude may be kept within utmost reasonable limits and may thus on 0.5 in. radius be restricted to somewhat over one cm.
  • the compression length of the spring is for instance ten times the swinging amplitude of the motor, the turning moment transferred to the surroundings varies with one tenth of the mean turning moment. If this mean turning moment is as in the above example one fourth of the maximum turning moment during the explosion period (in reality the diiference is much greater), the reactive impulses transferred to the surroundings in a motor of conventional type will be deassume creased to one tenth of the mean turning moment,
  • the oscillation path or the amplitude would therefore, if allowed to be freely developed, increase to values which would be practically inconceivable.
  • the slide valve 28 connected to the lever 23 is for this reason preferably formed as a dash pot or buifer piston which enlarge oscillating movement of the motor passes the outlet opening 38 of the cylinder 21, whereby oil confined-in this cylinder below the opening 38 takes up the excess of turning moment of the motor.
  • Fig. IV serves merely to illustrate the working manner of a device balancing the inner movable motor members.
  • the piston is, as in the foregoing, designated by I2, and the connecting rod by i3.
  • the counterweight 44 working between vertical guide members is arranged diametrically opposite the piston l2, and cooperates with the same crankshaft as the piston by means of a connecting rod or lever 43, which in Fig. IV is half as long as the connecting rod I 8.
  • the stroke of the eccentric lever 43 is also half as long as that of the connecting rod 83.
  • the counterweight do is in this case twice the weight of the piston 42 and, moreover, the weight of the arm d3 is twice that of the connecting rod 03.
  • the piston mechanism is obviously from dynamic point of view characterised by two reciprocating uniform movements; one of which has half the dimension of the other but works with double the weight.
  • the balance is proper, as the center of gravity of the system always coincides with the axis of rotation.
  • Figs. V-VIII an embodiment of a balance device for the piston mechanism according to the invention is shown. which permits a several times greater decrease of eccentricity or stroke length 01 the balancing masses.
  • l2 again designates the piston, and It the connecting rod which, at one end, is journalled on the crank pin ll of the crankshaft l5.
  • an imaginary eccentric arm 60 is illustrated in Fig. V, which at one end is joumalled in the eccentric 8i diametrically opposite to the crank pin l4, and in its other end carries a balance weight-G2.
  • the members balancing the piston mechanism produce vertical acceleration and retardation forces symmetric with the forces which act on the piston I2, and on the connecting rod I3, which latter however, may be said to correspond to a weightless imaginary eccentric lever 80.
  • the movable counter-balancing members are therefore to be adapted also to balance those parts of the connecting rod, which more or less have an acceleration course characterized by the movements of the piston. 1
