Definitions

  • the present invention relates to tandem, free-piston machines, that is to say to machines comprising two aligned drive cylinders in each of which work two opposed free drive pistons.
  • the neighbouring inner drive pistons are mechanically connected to each other and form a rst group, whereas the two outer pistons are also mechanically connected to each other and form a second group, the mechanical connection means of this latter group comprising at least one rod which is parallel to the axis of the machine and passes at the exterior of the drive cylinders, this rod being ydesignated hereafter by the expression conjugation rod, it being understood that this term covers all the variants of rods or of analogous elements lling the same function.
  • the energy released by the combustion of fuel in the drive cylinders generally serves for compressing air which can be used outside the free-piston machine, which then forms a motor compressor, or which can be used at the interior of the free-piston machine to supercharge and scavenge the drive cylinders of this machine and to form ⁇ with the incompletely expanded combustion gases a mixture of hot gas under pressure which, after its exhaust from the exhaust ports of the drive cylinders, serves for driving a receptive machine, notably a turbine, the machines of this latter type thus working as gas generators.
  • the same machine can furnish a hot gas under pressure to a receptive machine and pure compressed air to another receiver at the same time.
  • the conjugation rods of the second group of drive pistons are generally long and are as a rule intended solely to work under traction stress. Nevertheless, in the tandem, opposed free-piston machines of the type in question, the conjugation rods can, however, ⁇ be subjected at certain times, to compression stresses. This disadvantage could be palliated by increasing the crosssection of these rods, but this would lead to a greater weight of the machine and to a disadvantageous increase of the forces of inertia.
  • the chief object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages and to arrange these machines so that the conjugation rod or rods work solely in traction along the totality of the strokes of the drive pistons of the tandem machine.
  • an object of the invention is to reduce the cumbersomeness of the machine, notably in the axial sense.
  • each of the outer pistons that is to say each of the pistons of the second group, is connected to a compensator piston working preferably as an air compressor piston which creates, in a compensator cylinder, a resistance to the movement during the inward stroke of the corresponding drive piston, that is to say while the compression takes place in the drive cylinder in which this drive piston works.
  • a compensator piston working preferably as an air compressor piston which creates, in a compensator cylinder, a resistance to the movement during the inward stroke of the corresponding drive piston, that is to say while the compression takes place in the drive cylinder in which this drive piston works.
  • the compensator pistons and their cylinders can form separate compensation units which are located at the ends of the machine, but they can also be united in a single unit, in which the piston works as a double acting piston in a single compensator cylinder, this double acting piston being preferably inserted in a conjugation rod.
  • the resistance to which the compensator piston is subjected during the inward movement of the corresponding drive piston is thus added to the resistance to which this latter piston is subjected, due to the compression of the air at the interior of the drive cylinder.
  • a compressor piston which works as a double acting piston in a compressor cylinder which is located between the two drive cylinders.
  • the compensator pistons working as single acting air compressor pistons and the corresponding compensator cylinders are disposed, in a gas generator constructed according to the preceding paragraph, at the opposite ends of this machine, the compensator cylinder and the compression space (of the compressor cylinder), which is located on the same side of the double acting compressor piston as this compensator cylinder, are arranged to communicate with the inlet ports of the drive cylinder which is disposed, with respect to the center of the tandem machine, on the side opposite to the side where this compensator cylinder and compressor space are located.
  • each drive cylinder is supplied by two compressor spaces which are'located at different distances from the drive cylinder that they supply, which permits continuous scavenging of each of the drive cylinders during practically the entire duration that the inlet ports of these cylinders are open.
  • FIGURE l is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a tandem, free-piston machine according to the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a section through a second embodiment of a tandem machine according to the invention.
  • FIGURE 3 is a schematic representation in section of still another embodiment of such a tandem machine

  • the supplementary advantage is also obtained that the relative speeds of the movable frictional pieces with respect to the fixed pieces does not exceed the speed of each of the systems, whereas the relative speed of the pistons with respect to the rods that pass through them is twice the speed of displacement of the pistons.
  • a supplementary advantage of this feature resides in the facility of assembling and dismantling the machine, and in particular, in the preferred case in which the outer drive piston-s co-operate with the exhaust ports of the drive cylinders, the easy possibility of dismantling and of upkeep or replacement of these latter pistons, which are always subject to the most thermal stress during operation of the tandem machine.
