No. 558,424 Claims priority, application Germany, June 19, 1965,
Us. 01. 123-8 Int. Cl. F02b 53/04; F04c 29/02,- F04d 29/06 14 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a rotary piston engine, especially to a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction, in which an inlet channel is provided within the housing case whose control window lies within the contact or cam surface of the housing case, and in which an aperture is arranged in that wall portion of the inlet channel which is disposed forwardly in relation to the normal direction of rotation of the piston, oil being supplied through this aperture for purposes of lubrication of the contact or cam surface of the case.
The present invention aims at improving the supply of lubricant to the contact or cam surface of the case. As solution to the underlying problems, the present invention essentially consists in that an insert is arranged in the inlet channel which forms with the forward wall portion of the aperture a narrow gap for the supply of oil up to contact or cam surface of the case.
In an advantageous construction of the inventive concept, the gap may become increasingly wider from the aperture for the supply of oil and may assume within the area of the control window of the inlet channel approximately half the circumference of the channel cross section.
For reasons of manufacturing ease the insert may consist of a bushing or the like lining the inlet channel in which the outer surface forming the gap is offset in the radial direction thereof.
By means of the formation of the narrow gap the oil is guided in such a manner that it is contacted neither by the air stream in the inlet channel nor by the fuel taken along in the inlet channel. The oil cannot be torn off and also cannot be washed off. The lubricating oil arrives unimpaired at the contact or cam surface of the case where by reason of the large length of the gap in relation to the circumference of the inlet channel it is distributed over the entire width of the contact or cam surface of the case. The oil supply to the contact or cam surface of the case takes place very evenly; any possible supply irregularities that may occur are at least lessened by the gap according to the present invention.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved lubricating system for the contact or cam surfaces of the housing case of a rotary piston engine, especially of a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction.
Another object of the present inventio resides in a rotary piston internal combustion engine in which a uniform and adequate lubrication is assured for the contact or engaging surfaces of the housing under all operating conditions by extremely simple means that are reliable in operation.
A further object of the present invention resides in a rotary piston internal combustion engine having a lubricating system for the case contact surfaces which is so constructed and arranged that the lubricating oil is shielded from the combustion air as well as from the fuel taken along by the combustion air in order to prevent tearing off or washing off of the lubricant.
Still a further object of the present invention resides in a lubricating system for the contact surfaces of the case of rotary piston internal combustion engines of the type described above which may be manufactured in an extremely simple manner, involving relatively low costs and which can be readily assembled without great expenditures in time and labor.
These and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows, for purposes of illustration only, one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, and wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a partial transverse cross-sectional view through the housing case of a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction within the area of the inlet channel; and
FIGURE 2 is a partial plan view on the housing case taken in the direction of arrow II of FIGURE 1.
Referring now to the drawing wherein like reference numerals are used throughout the two views to designate like parts, reference numeral 1 designates therein the conventional housing case of a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction. The rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal construction is not shown in detail since it is of conventional construction whose details form no part of the present invention. The inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3 are provided in the housing case 1 in the usual manner, and more particularly as is conventional within the zone of the multiarched internal contact or cam surfaces 6 approaching the axis of the engine. Both the control aperture 4 of the inlet channel 2 as well as the control aperture 5 of the outlet channel 3 lie in the contact or cam surfaces 6 of the housing case 1 where they are controlled in a conventional manner by a polygonal piston rotating relative to the contact surfaces 6 in such a manner that the piston corners slide at all times along the contact surfaces 6. Conventional control means in the form of a transmission or the like may be used to achieve the desired rotation of the piston on an eccentric relative to the eccentric shaft and the housing. Since such control means as Well as the piston are well known in the art, they are not illustrated herein. The aperture 7 is provided in the inlet channel 2 for the lubrication of the case contact surfaces 6. Oil supplied by means of a conventional metering pump (not shown) is conducted to the aperture 7 by way of the line 8 and the excess pressure valve 9. The latter may also be of any conventional, known construction. The aperture 7 is disposed in the forward Wall portion of the inlet channel 2 in relation to the normal direction of rotation of the piston indicated by the arrow 10.
In order to guide the oil leaving the aperture 7 Without contact with the air or with the fuel up to the case contact surface 6, the bushing 11 is inserted into the inlet channel 2 which bushing extends close to the control aperture 4 in the cam surface 6. Possibly the bushing 11 may also terminate flush with the contact surface 6. The
outer surface of the bushing 11 is slightly offset in its radial dimension from the area of the aperture 7 up to the control aperture 4 so that the narrow gap 12 results. Within the area of the aperture 7, the gap 12 is only slightly larger in the circumferential direction of the bushing 11 than the diameter of the aperture 7. The gap 12 then continuously increases from the area of the aperture 7 in the direction toward the control aperture 4 and extends at the end of the bushing 11 over half the circumference of the inlet channel 2 (FIGURE 2). The depth of the gap 12 is so large that the product of depth times width within the area of the control aperture 4 of the inlet channel 2 is no larger than the cross section of the aperture 7. The control aperture 4 of the inlet channel 2 is rounded off as indicated at 13 within the area of the gap 12 so that the oil leaving the gap 12 remains attached to or adheres at the case contact surfaces 6 and therewith covers the same over the entire width. The oil does not come into contact within the inlet channel itself with the air or fuel flowing through the inlet channel 2. Consequently, the oil cannot be torn off or washed ofI' within the inlet channel 2.
Appropriately, the narrow gap can be produced in such a manner that a bushing is utilized whose outer diameter is smaller by the gap depth than the diameter of the inlet channel. Then, the area of the bushing which is to form a wall of the gap, is covered or masked and a galvanic material is applied to the remaining portion of the outer surface thereof until the diameter of the inlet channel is reached.
The insert could also be made in such a manner that it is punched out in the unwound form, the gap is produced by stamping or embossing and the shape of the insert is realized by rolling. The prestress necessary for the secure seating of the insert can then be taken into consideration during the rolling operation.
While we have shown and described one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it is obvious that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible of numerous changes and modifications as known to a person skilled in the art, and we therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are encompassed by the scope of the appended claims.
