Definitions

  • Thepresent invention relates generally to a common, automatic, rotary distributor device for starting with compressed air a multicylinder heat engine or internal combustion engine and in particular but not exclusively a Diesel engine or the like, as well as the various applications and uses resulting from operating same and the systems, assemblies, arrangements, appliances, machines, mechanisms, automotive vehicles, 'equipments and installations provided with such devices.
  • the pilot or control air pressure is supplied to each starting valve through an air distributor which, in particular in the case of large Diesel engines comprises a series of slide or spool valves or the like equal in number to that of the cylinders to be fed with compressed air and associated each one with a starting valve, respectively, that is with a cylinder.
  • Each slide valve comprises a compressed air inlet and a pilot air pressure outlet leading to the associated starting valve, said air draining being effected through said slide valve.
  • the slide valves may be individually mounted adjacent to each one of the cylinders they are feeding or arranged in radial or star-like configuration and accommodated at the end of the engine.
  • each valve is operated in a given sequence by an individual cam secured to the cam shaft of the engine or driven by the same and in the latter case, all the slide valves are operated in a given sequence by a single or common control cam mounted on the cam shaft of the engine or driven by the same.
  • a single or common control cam mounted on the cam shaft of the engine or driven by the same.
  • the object of the invention is to remove the aforesaid drawbacks by providing a distributor device with a rotary disk wherein the pressure force with which the distributor disk is applied against the stationary distributor body is lower for an equal air pressure than that exerted on the distributor disk in said known devices.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized by such a configuration of the distributor disk that the incoming compressed air acts only upon a circular for example annular and preferably substantially concentric portion of said disk which is thus applied with a reduced resulting total pressure force against the associated stationary distributor body.
  • Such an arrangement exhibits the advantage of decreasing the wear of the disk and/or stationary distributor body to a significant extent as well as the power required for rotating the disk.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore outstanding by the simplicity and effectiveness of the means used to cope with the drawbacks of the prior state of the art.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal or axial cross-sectional view of a starting distributor with a rotary disk for a Diesel engine having six cylinders
  • FIG. 2 is a separate front view from the runner face side of said distributor disk
  • FIG. 3 is a view of the complementary or mating bearing side of the stationary distributor body taken substantially upon the cross-sectional line IIlIII 'of FIG. 1 ;and
  • FIG. 4 shows a fragmentary view in longitudinal cross-section of an alternative embodiment or modification of the device according to the invention.
  • the starting distributor l is mounted on the engine base, casing or housing 2 of a Diesel engine 2a having for instance six cylinders 2b, substantially in coaxial extension of the cam shaft of the engine,

  • This shaft end portion 7 is connected through a suitable coupling joint 8 with a drive shaft 9 for the rotary distributor substantially in alignment with the shaft end portion 7 and mounted for rotation through suitable journal bushings, bearings or shells 10 preferably of the self-lubricating type within a corresponding bore 11 extending longitudinally through the body 3, the tightness .of the shaft passage towards the coupling being provided by a sealing ring or like suitable ring-shaped packing or gland 12 mounted within a corresponding recess of the body 3.
  • the free end portion 13 of the body 3 is detachable and forms a kind of housing removably secured to the body 3 by screws, bolts or the like 14 extending through a removable end cover or cap 15 closing off the element 13 on the side opposite to or remote from the body 3.
  • the housing 13 is centered onto the body 3 through a shouldered central projecting bearing of the body 3 fitted into the adjacent end of the housing 13.
  • the distributor disk 16 applied with its side 17 facing the body 3 through sliding contact against the mating end face 18 of said center bearing of the body 3.
  • the disk 16 forms the larger flange or disk of a sleeve 19 having a pair of substantially coaxial, longitudinally spaced disks 16 and 20 of differing diameters, rotatably mounted in sealing relationship by their periphery within corresponding bores 21, 22, respectively, of the housing 13 thereby defining therebetween an annular space 23 communicating through at least one for example substantially radial port 24 with the duct or piping delivering the compressed air which thereby exerts a differential action upon the disk 16.
  • the sleeve 19 is desirably force-fitted through a tapered bore onto a mating end tapered bearing portion 25 of the shaft 9 on which the sleeve is tightly clamped by means of a nut 26 locked by a suitable check nut or self-locking nut threaded onto the screwthreaded end of the shaft 9 with a suitable bearing washer 27 being interposed therebetween.

  • the disk 20 is possibly longer than the disk 16 and comprises an open central recess for accommodating the free end of the shaft 9 together with its fastening nuts.
  • the peripheral bearings of the disk 20 and of the disk 16, which are in rotating contact with the side wall of the corresponding bores 22 and 21, respectively, of the housing, are desirably sealed off by a dummy or labyrinth seal 28 known per se.
  • such a tightness may be provided by an annular sealing gasket with a thinned lip which thinned lip engages said side wall of the bores 21, 22 only under the action of the compressed air and during the application time thereof, so that it discontinues to be applied against the wall of the bore at the end of the starting period so as not to brake through a possible frictional contact the rotary motion of the revolving as sembly of the device after the engine has been started.
  • the compressed air which is coming through the port 24 and exerts its pressure onto the disk 16 as well as onto the disk 20 subjects the disk 16 to a resulting differential pressure force tending to apply the disk against the body 3 and resulting from the difference between the respective cross-sectional areas of the disk 16 and the disk 20.
  • This thrust action is indeed equivalent to the force produced by the air pressure applied onto the annular surface of the ring-shaped portion of the disk 16 the width of which is equal to the difference between the respective radii of the disk 16 and the disk 20.
  • This resulting total pressure force is therefore lower than the pressure force which would have been produced by the compressed air acting exclusively onto the total exposed or free surface of the disk 16.
  • the sleeve 19 hence the disk 16 is subjected to a resulting pressure force acting axially from left to right in FIG. 1 (therefore tending to press the disk against the distributor body 3) and equal to the difference between the total pressure forces exerted by the compressed air on the disk 16 and on the disk 20, respectively, said resulting pressure force being therefore lower than the total pressure force exerted by the compressed air upon the disk 16.
  • the distributor disk 16 should always be applied during the starting period with some at least residual pressure against the stationary distributor body 3 so that a sufficient fluid-tightness is provided through pressure contact in the plane of the joint or interface between the mutually engaging front sides 17 and 18 of the disk 16 and the stationary body 3 respectively.
