  • the present invention relates to an internal (or external) combustion engine with continuous combustion and a revolving cylinder group.
  • Such an engine is provided with a slide valve arrangement which is formed as a mutual slide surface between a frame of the engine and the cylinder group whereby openings are arranged in the frame at the sliding surface as well as in each cylinder of the cylinder group for controlling the gas distribution.
  • the invention relates to an engine with continuous internal (or external) combustion.
  • the engine consists of a multicylinder cylinder group having displaceable elements, for instance, pistons, the revolving cylinder group running on bearings in a stationary frame, a gear set and an outward combustion chamber.
  • the gas distribution between the combustion chamber and the cylinders is governed in a mutual slide surface between frame and cylinder group where passageways to and from the combustion chamber end, and where ports are arranged for each cylinder in the cylinder group.
  • the invention thus constitutes a combustion engine of an entirely new type for continuous combustion with an external combustion chamber and is based on the so called double-rotation principle.
  • the revolving cylinder group has pistons or other displaceable elements acting on a crankshaft, concentric with the cylinder group and having a rotational speed higher than that of the cylinder group.
  • the engine has a multitude of axial cylinders arranged around and mainly in parallel with said crankshaft, which is thus driven via a wobble plate, a swash plate of some other corresponding element in known manner.
  • Gas distribution between the outside combustion chamber and the revolving cylinders inside the engine frame is effected by a slide distributor at the mutual slide surface.
  • a slide distributor at the mutual slide surface.
  • the use is made of an external combustion chamber with continuous, either direct or indirect combustion, combined with a double-rotating piston compressor motor, and additionally an arrangement of ducts between the slide surface and the combustion chamber in such a way that each cylinder works alternatingly as a compressor pumping air to the combustion chamber through certain ducts and as a motor with the working medium expanding from the combustion chamber through other ducts. Measures are also taken to avoid leakage of the working medium at said slide surface, a preferred means being circular sealing devices.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section of the new engine.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section at the slide surface between the frame and the rotating cylinder group
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatical representation for explaining the working mode of the engine.
  • the engine is provided with seven cylinders 6 which are built together as a revolving cylinder group I, being arranged axially and concentrically around a crankshaft 5.
  • a double gear set 8, 9, I0 and II is coupled to the cylinder group, the last gear wheel 11 being fixed to the cylinder group.
  • Each piston has the connecting rod 6' joined to a swash plate 7 adapted on the shaft 5 in such a way that the reciprocating movement of the pistons is transferred to a rotational movement of the crankshaft.
  • This relation also determines the number of compressor and motor functions in the engine, i.e., the number of double strokes between the upper and the lower dead point of each piston, during a full working sequence, which is equal to a full revolution of the cylinder group.
  • the number of motor functions during a full working sequence is larger than that of compressor functions in order to obtain a motoring torque which is greater than that required for the compressor functions.
  • FIG. 1 shows a combustor of a type known per se, consisting of a combustion space 23, an injection device 24 for fuel, an ignition device 25 and an outer air space 22.
  • the combustor 22 25 is connected via ducts to that part of the frame 2 where the slide surface is situated.
  • the air space 22 communicates via ducts 19 with the slide surface, or with openings in the said surface.
  • Other ducts 21 receive consumed working medium from the cylinders and are connected to an exhaust system.
  • Still other ducts connect the combustion space with ports in the slide surface.
  • a valve 26 inserted between the combustion chamber 23 and the ducts 20, the working medium can be released, throttled or shut off in the direction towards the cylinder group.
  • FIG. 2 The arrangement of the duct openings in the slide surface is illustrated in FIG. 2, where the piston positions are indicated by dotted lines.
  • This Figure is a sec tion at AA in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 again, the said duct openings are spread out along a straight line represent ing a full working sequence, for instance 0 360.
  • This Figure also shows schematically with lines and arrows on the lines the connections of, and the transfer directions in the ducts 18, I9, 20, 21.
  • the cylinders are denoted 6:1 through 6:7 for the seven cylinders provided.
  • FIG. 3 also shows by means of dotted lines the positions of the cylinders 6:1 through 6:7 with their ports ending at the slide surface.
  • the dotted curve in the lower part of FIG. 3 corresponds to the motion of the crankshaft 5.
  • each cylinder passes (according to the arrow between the cylinders 6:1 and 6:2) in turn six zones in the slide surface, namely first a compressor zone, thereafter two motor zones, then one compressor zone and then again two motor zones.
  • the piston in cylinder 6:1 is starting a stroke downwards from the upper dead point, starting the inlet of air through the duct 18 from an air inlet duct.
  • cylinder 6:2 the piston is on its way towards the upper dead point and is finishing compression of air into the outer air space 22 of the combustor via the duct 19.
  • the compressed air will be heated and thereby expanded in the inner space 23 of the combustor, where heat is taken over from the continuously burning burner 24 by means of delivered fuel.
  • the heated working medium is passed through the ducts 20 to ports in the slide surface for action during the motorzones.
  • FIG. 3 the inlet of cylinder 6:7 is just going on, while the inlet is finished in cylinder 6:6 and the expansion is started in this cylinder.
  • the expanded working medium is being exhausted through further ducts 21 out to an exhaust system.
  • crankshaft 5 is rotating in the same direction as the cylinder group but at a six times higher rotational speed 11,-, in relation to the speed it, of the cylinders.
  • the actual rotational speed ofthe crankshaft is thus 11,-, 6 n, n 7 in. Due to the fact that the cylinders alternatingly perform motor and compressor functions there will regularly be inlet periods for cold air, during which the cylinder is internally cooled. Therefore the lubrication of the cylinders can be effected with conventional methods.
  • the sealing system at the slide surface is materialized.
  • special seals are arranged on both sides (in FIG. 1 outside and inside of the gas port track proper) of the area which is occupied by the duct ports. It is also possible to arrange double seals and to force a neutral medium into them, for instance, oil or air, in order to prevent the leakage of the working medium from the port track.
  • the seals at the slide surface are denoted with 30 inside the duct ports and with 31 outside the port area.
  • the mechanical realization is not limited to the axial cylinder type described having conventional, spherical or vane formed pistons.
  • the engine may be of radial type or be based on a rotating eccentric piston of epitrochoid type or vane type inside a revolving cylinder barrel on which the sliding surface of the slide distributor is situated.
  • the proposed engine is superior in respect of the purity of the exhaust gases, because the engine is working with a large excess of air and with a moderate temperature in the combustion.
  • the continuous combustion further achieves extremely good reliability, allowing at the same time for a free choice of the fuel used.
  • the engine is much less sensitive to impurities in the working medium than is the case with, for instance, a gas turbine.
  • a combustion engine comprising a stationary frame, a cylinder block comprising a plurality of cylinders mounted for rotation as a unit in bearings in said frame, a reciprocable piston element axially movable in each cylinder, a crankshaft rotatably mounted in said frame along the axis of rotation of said cylinder block, gear means mounted in said frame and connected between the cylinder block and crankshaft for giving the crankshaft a higher rotational speed than that of the cylinder block, swash plate rotatably mounted on said crankshaft and connected in timed relationship to said cylinder block to effect a desired relative rotation therebetween, a connecting rod between each piston element and said swash plate for converting the reciprocating movements of the piston elements into rotational movement of the crankshaft, a slide distributor comprising a pair of relatively rotatable slidably engaged interface members connected respectively to said frame and to said cylinder block, first port means in said cylinder block member of said slide valve distributor, and in flow communication with each of said plurality of cylinder
  • said slide distributor being operative, during rotation of said cylinder block and corresponding relative rotation of the said interface member, to cause each cylinder and its associated piston to operate alternatingly as a compressor pumping air into the combustor via said air duct means and as a motor utilizing the expanding heated working medium supplied to each cylinder via said combustion products duct means.
  • combustion products inlet port means and said combustion products discharge port means both comprise plural ports disposed in alternating circumferential sequential order, thereby providing for plural motor expansion strokes of said piston elements for each compression stroke of said piston elements.
  • the combustion engine of claim I including a valve located between the outlet from said combustor and the combustion products duct means to enable the admission throttling and shutting-off of the flow of working medium to the cylinders.
  • sealing elements comprising twin groups of ring-shaped seals provided in the sliding interface on each side of the ducts in said interface.
