Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rotating internal combustion engine operating as a four-stroke cycle engine but with one explosion per rotation.
  • An object yof the invention is to provide an internal combustion engine having three movable elements of which two have a rotative and circuiar motion while the other element has a reciprocating rectilinear motion.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an internal combustion engine with a very high mechanical eicien'cy.
  • FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatical cross-sectional view of the engine construction in one phase of its operation.
  • FIGURE 2 is a similar View showing the elements at the beginning of the suction phase.
  • FIGURE 3 is a similar view showing the elements at the compression stage and FIGURE 4 is a similar View phase.
  • the engine of the present invention cornprises essential'ly three movable elements wherein the two eccentrics 2 and 4 rotate within the cylinders 1 and 3 respectively and a slide valve 6 reciprocates Within a passage 5 connecting the cylinders 1 and 3.
  • the two eccentrics 2 and 4 are connected by pinions or any other usual construction which will cause them to rotate in synchronization.
  • the two cylinders 1 and 3 are maintained completely tight by the .tit of the two spaced covers not shown, located Iat each side thereof. As the eccentrics rotate they (rnaintain a close contact with the inside wa'll of the cyliners.
  • each cylinder In cylinder 1 there is provided in its cylindrical wall a slot E serving as an exhaust nozzle. This slot exhausts to the exterior.
  • the valve 6 is provided with a groove C for conducting the compressed gas from cylinder 3 lto cylinder 1 and it is also provided with a groove D whereby fuel may be supplied to the cylinder 3 from the linlet A.
  • the eccentric 4 divides the cylinder 3 into two chambers G and H.
  • the chamber G has been reduced in volume and the chamber -H has increased in volume resulting in a vacuum which since it is connected to the inlet A through the channel D in the slide 6 serves to till the chamber H with carbureted gas if a carburetor is used or with atmospheric air if fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber F.
  • the channel C may extend parallel to the axis of the slide valve 6 or it may be arranged obliquely therein.
  • a spark is then caused in lthe chamber F by spark plug 9 -ring the compressed gas both in the channel C and in the chamber F of the cylinder 1.
  • fuel may be injected int-o the chamber F if a Diesel type operation is desired.
  • the tiring of the gas drives the eccentric 2 in the direction of the arrow and when the eccentric 2 reaches the posit-ion shown in FIGURE 2 chamber F has been sufficiently enlarged so as to connect with the exhaust port E which exahusts the gases.
  • the eccentric 4 in each revolution produces in its chamber H the admission of the gases and through its chamber G the compression yand passing them to the chamber F at the end of its revolution and simultaneously the eccentric 2 which receives the compressed gas carries out during the same revolution the period of work and exhaust during each revolution made by the two eccentrics so that the is an action cycle although the four stroke cycle has been carried out.
  • Eccentrics 2 and 4 may turn in one or the other direction or they may rotate in opposite directions.
  • the thermal eftciency is much higher than in a conventional engine since by the elimination of any reciprocating movement the index of compression may be very high and on the other hand this may lbe made easy by manufacturing the cylinder 3 for the admission and compression chambers with a diameter greater than the cylinder 1 forming the explosion and exhaust chambers.
  • the compression ratio may be increased as much as may be necessary.
  • the variation of the eccentric radius will permit establishing the value of the engine torque within certain limitations.
  • the run of the working cycle may be changed from 120 to 200 according to the characteristics desired in the engine it is understood that the gas pressure produced vmay be maintained during an angular rotation much higher than in a conventional engine.
  • the shape, material, dimensions and proportions may ybe varied as -desired and any accessory and secondary features may be provided that does not alter, change or ⁇ lmodify the essential features of the engine above described.
  • An internal combustion engine comprising two cylinders, a passage connecting said cylinders, an eccentric in each cylinder making an internal tangential contact with the cylinder wall thereby dividing each cylinder into two chambers which vary in Volume during each rotation of the eccentric, a reciprocating slide located in said passage contacting both eccentrics, aV fuel intake located in said passage, a groove in said slide connecting said fuel intake with yone of said cylinders, an exhaust opening in the other cylinder and a second groove in said slide interconnecting both of said cylinders at the compression strokeV of one of said eccentrics.
