Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to an engine arrangement and more specifically to an engine arrangement with, in any event, two piston and cylinder assemblies, where a first piston in a first cylinder, included in a first piston and cylinder assembly or arrangement, is interconnected with a second piston in a second cylinder, included in a second piston and cylinder assembly or arrangement, and where said piston and cylinder assemblies display an inlet valve.
- Said two piston and cylinder assemblies are adapted for cooperation with a gear unit, adapted for converting a translation movement into a rotary movement.
- the present invention has for its object to propose an air-fuel driven engine arrangement, alternatively an exhaust gas driven engine arrangement and/or an interconnection of said two categories of engine arrangements to a set adapted to the engine arrangement.
- the state of the art encompasses an engine arrangement based on the "Otto"-engine technology which operates with a crankshaft device as the transmission means between a piston movement in a cylinder and an output engine shaft or crankshaft.
- this function is such that only one cylinder at a time operates app- rox. one % of a revolution, the others being drawn thereby to their different operative functions, and so on.
- the generator, the water pump, any hydraulic pump etc. requisite for operation take their power from these two cylinders, which are active during engine work.
- a part of the prior art is an air-fuel driven engine arrangement comprising in any event one piston and cylinder assembly where a piston is reciprocally disposed in a cylinder, valves related to the cylinder tops, one or more inlet valves and one or more outlet- or exhaust valves, and a device igniting the air-fuel mixture compressed by the movement of the piston in the cylinder.
- exhaust gas-driven engine arrangements comprising in any event one piston and cylinder assembly where a piston is reciprocally disposed in a cylinder, valves related to the cylinder top, one or more inlet valves and one or more outlet valves.
- each cylinder-allocated piston within two piston and cylinder assemblies be able to drive an engine shaft half of a revolution and permit it to work in tandem, which gives 1/1 engine revolution;
- each piston allocated to a cylinder pair may operate independently of the remaining cylinder pairs included and their associated pistons, which entails that each piston/cylinder pair may be governed independently for the requisite driving force;
- - two cylinders with associated pistons may operate in parallel in a 4- cylinder engine or an engine with a plurality of cylinders;
- the torque which is obtained may be high immediately from the start of the movement and will be able to increase somewhat with increasing engine speed;
- a low speed such as less than 300-600 RPM may be selected at maximum revolutions;
- a high torque may entail a utilisation of simple gearing possibilities when necessary;
- a selected engine speed may be better adapted to the speed of a driving wheel and thereby achieve lower fuel consumption as well as employing a smaller gearbox;
- the design and construction may entail a reduction in the total service weight of the engine
- an air-fuel mixture driven engine arrangement comprising in any event one piston and cylinder assembly, where one piston is reciprocally disposed in a cylinder, valves related to the cylinder top, one or more inlet valves and one or more outlet or exhaust valves, and a device igniting an air-fuel mixture compressed by the movement of the piston in the cylinder, two further include two piston and cylinder arrangements which are mutually adapted for a synchronous movement in that a first piston, in a first piston and cylinder assembly, is in direct or indirect cooperation with a second piston in a second piston and cylinder assembly.

- said first (third) and second (fourth) pistons are fixedly united to one another and are in direct cooperation with one another by the intermediary of a gear rack which is in cooperation with a geared shaft.
- first (third) piston is fixedly united with a first (third) piston rod
- second (fourth) piston is fixedly united with a se- cond (fourth) gear rack, where both gear racks are in cooperation with a geared shaft.
- said first (third) gear rack may be given an ang- Ie in relation to said second gear rack which is less than a right angle.
- the present invention furthermore encompasses a set related to an engine arrangement where one or more air-fuel driven engine arrangements are coordinated to one and the same shaft and that one or more of these air-fuel driven engine arrangements are coordinated with one or more exhaust gas driven engine arrangements which are similarly coordinated to said one and the same shaft.
- the present invention moreover takes as its point of departure the prior art as disclosed by way of introduction, where an engine arrangement is disclosed with in any event two piston and cylinder assemblies, where a first piston in a first cylinder, included in a first piston and cylinder assembly, is interconnect- ted with a second piston in a second cylinder, included in a second piston and cylinder assembly, and where each one of said piston and cylinder as- semblies displays an inlet valve for the supply of a fuel mixture, and an outlet valve for the removal of exhaust gases, said two piston and cylinder assemblies being adapted for a cooperation with a gear unit converting a translation movement into a rotary movement.
- the present invention particularly discloses that the prior art technology be complemented by causing, in any event, two further piston and cylinder assemblies, one with a third piston in a third cylinder, included in a third piston and cylinder assembly, interconnected with a fourth piston in a fourth cylinder, included in a fourth piston and cylinder assembly, with associated inlet and outlet valves, to be adapted for cooperation with said gear unit converting translation movement into rotary movement, an outlet valve for a first cylinder being interconnected with an inlet valve for a third cylinder, and an outlet valve for a second cylinder being interconnected with an inlet valve for a fourth cylinder, and that outlet valves associated with the third and fourth cylinders are to be intended to remove combusted exhaust gases.
- This movement speed is regulated by the opening/closing time of the exhaust gas valve.
- the utilisation is made available of two additional piston and cylinder assemblies, with a third piston in a third cylinder, included in a third piston and cylinder assembly, interconnected with a fourth piston in a fourth cylinder, included in a fourth piston and cylinder assembly with associated inlet and outlet valves, said two additional piston and cylinder assemblies being adapted for cooperation with said gear unit converting a translation movement into a rotary movement.
- An outlet valve for the first cylinder may be interconnected with an inlet valve for the third cylinder, while an outlet valve for the second cylinder may be interconnected with the inlet valve for the fourth cylinder.
- the outlet valves for the third and the fourth cylinders may be intended for the removal of combusted exhaust gases.
- Fig. 1 shows an engine arrangement with two pairwise active piston and cy- under assemblies, where a first pair of piston and cylinder assemblies consists of an air-fuel driven engine arrangement, while a second pair of piston and cylinder assemblies consists of an exhaust gas driven engine arrangement;

- Fig. 3 shows a first embodiment of a gear unit converting a translation movement into a rotary movement;
- Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of a gear unit converting a translation movement into a rotary movement
- Fig. 5 shows an engine arrangement with two pairwise cooperating piston and cylinder assemblies each one of which being drivable by an air-fuel mixture.
- Fig. 1 illustrates, partly in section, an engine arrangement 1 driven by an air- fuel mixture, where a first piston 11 is reciprocally disposed in a fist cylinder 12, valves 13, 14 related to cylinder tops, one or more inlet valves and one or more outlet- or exhaust valves, and a device (not shown) igniting the air-fuel mixture compressed by the movement of the piston 11 in the cylinder 12.
- Two piston and cylinder assemblies 1 , 2 are mutually adapted for a synchro- such movement in that a first piston 11 , in a first piston and cylinder assembly 1 , is in direct or indirect cooperation with a second piston 21 , in a second piston and cylinder assembly 2, with inlet valves 13, 23 and exhaust gas valves 14, 24 related to cylinder tops, allocated to both a first cylinder 11 in a first piston and cylinder assembly 1 and a second cylinder 22 in a second piston and cylinder assembly 2.
- Said valves are governed so that one working stroke, in said first piston and cylinder assembly 1 , creates an exhaust stroke in said second piston and cylinder assembly 2, and that a working stroke in said second piston and cylinder assembly 2 creates an exhaust stroke in said first piston and cylinder as- sembly 1.
- first 11 and second pistons 21 are fixedly united to one another by the intermediary of a gear rack 6, which are in direct cooperation with one another with a geared shaft 5a, with a flywheel 50.
- Said first piston 11 may be fixedly united with a first gear rack 6, that said second piston 21 may be fixedly united with a second gear rack 16, where both gear racks 6, 16 are in cooperation with a geared shaft 5a.
- said first gear rack 6 may be given an angle in relation to said second gear rack 16 which is less than a right angle.
- an exhaust gas driven engine ar- rangement comprising: in any event one piston and cylinder assembly 3, where a piston 31 is reciprocally disposed in a cylinder 32, valves 33, 34 related to cylinder tops, one or more inlet valves 33 and one or more outlet valves 34.
- Two piston and cylinder assemblies 3, 4 are mutually adapted for a synchronous movement in that a first piston 31 in a first (third) piston and cylinder assembly 3 is in direct or indirect cooperation with a second piston 41 in a second (fourth) piston and cylinder assembly 4.
- Inlet and outlet valves related to cylinder tops are allocated both a first (third) cylinder 32 in a first (third) piston and cylinder assembly 3, and a second (fourth) cylinder 42 in a second (fourth) piston and cylinder assembly. Said valves are governed so that a working stroke in said first (third) piston and cylinder assembly 3, by the supply of exhaust gases under pressure via the valve 33, creates an exhaust stroke in said second (fourth) piston and cy- under assembly 4 and that a working stroke in said second (fourth) piston and cylinder assembly 4, by the supply of exhaust gases under pressure, creates an exhaust stroke in said first (third) piston and cylinder assembly 3.
- the embodiment illustrates that said first (third) 31 and second (fourth) 41 pistons are fixedly united to one another and are in direct cooperation with one another by the intermediary of a gear rack 6a, which is in cooperation with a geared shaft 5a and a flywheel 50.
- Said first (third) piston 31 is fixedly united with a first (third) piston rod 6a, that said second (fourth) piston 41 is fixedly united with a second (fourth) gear rack 6b, where both of the gear racks are in cooperation with a geared shaft 5a.
- Said first (third) gear rack 6a may be given an angle in relation to said se- cond gear rack 6b which is less than a right angle.
- the present invention moreover encompasses an engine arrangement set where one or more air-fuel driven engine arrangements 1 , 2 are coordinated to one and the same shaft 5a and that one or more of these air-fuel driven engine arrangements 1 , 2 are coordinated with one or more exhaust gas driven engine arrangements 3, 4 which similarly coordinated to said one and the same shaft 5a.
- FIG. 1 moreover illustrates, partly in section, an engine arrangement set "M", according to the present invention, with in any event two piston and cylinder assemblies 1 , 2, where a first piston 11 in a first cylinder 12 included in a first piston and cylinder assembly 1 is interconnected with a second pis- ton 21 in a second cylinder 22 included in a second piston and cylinder assembly 2, and where each one of said piston and cylinder assemblies 1 , 2 each displays a valve serving as inlet valve 13, 23 adapted for the supply of a fuel mixture, and each a valve serving as outlet valve 14, 24 adapted for the removal of combusted exhaust gases.
- Said two piston and cylinder assemblies 1 , 2 are adapted for cooperation with a gear unit 5 converting a translation movement oriented between the assemblies 1 and 2 into a rotary movement.
- the outlet valve 14 for the first cylinder 12 is interconnected with the inlet val- ve 33 for the third cylinder 32.
- the outlet valve 24 for the second cylinder 22 is interconnected with the inlet valve 44 for the fourth cylinder 42, and that the outlet valves 34, 43 for the third 32 and the fourth cylinders 42 are intended to remove combusted ex- haust gases.
- the first piston 11 When the first cylinder 12 is fuel activated, the first piston 11 is displaced to a lower position (a position proximal a driven or live shaft 5a for the gear unit 5), while the second piston 21 in the second cylinder 22 is displaced to its up- per position (a position distally directed from a driven or live shaft 5a for the gear unit 5). Two events take place during this piston movement.
- the exhaust gases obtained in earlier cycle are compressed, at the same time as the first piston 11 in the first cylinder 12 is retarded in its movement.
- This movement speed is governed by the opening time/closing time of the exhaust gas valve.
- This form of engine unit works in accordance with a hitherto unknown opera- tive method, which is characterised by a fuel economy function.
- the working cycle may then be as follows:
- the piston and cylinder assembly 1 is a prime mover or drive unit, while the assembly 2 is an exhaust gas driven unit, where a coupling between these units 1 , 2 may be put into effect in accordance with the following outline:
- the inlet valve 13 to the cylinder 12 is fed with a fuel mixture, while the outlet valve 14 is directly connected to the inlet valve 33 for the cylinder 32.
- the inlet valve 23 to the cylinder 22 is feedable with a fuel mixture, while the outlet valve 24 is directly connected to the inlet valve 44 for the cylinder 42.
- the outlet valves 34, 43 are connected to a silencer (not shown).
- the exhaust gas pressure (which is more or less of the same order of magnitude as the input pressure), is led to cylinder 32 and its inlet valve 33, which entails that the piston 31 in cylinder 32 is activated and an additional working input is obtained, without any external additional supply of fuel for this movement.
- the same sequence is repeated in cylinder 42 and cylinder 32, respectively, and the exhaust gases from the exhaust valves 34, 43 depart to a silencer (not shown).
- a crucially important difference between today's engine technology and the engine according to the present invention is that it is possible to consider a standard engine, with two mounted pairwise piston and cylinder assemblies, as two individual engines working in parallel, but may also be capable of working singly, if one of the engine functions ceases to work, but with 50% of the engine output.
- a suitable function is relating to helicopters and piston driven propeller powered aircraft where, for example, an engine failure would jeopardise vital functions in the community.
- the disclosed low revolution engine with high torque is suitable as an industrial engine, stationary and mobile machinery, for example contractor machi- nery such as excavators and similar working inputs which often work at high speeds of revolution for lengthy periods of time.
- a drive engine function includes in most cases a reversing movement carried out by an engaged gearbox.
- the present invention encompasses an engine construction with a reversing movement which offers a simple design integrated direct in the engine body.
- Reversing may be applied for boat engines, scooter engines and also working machines where reversing of supply table and similar functions are employed.
- This extension is put into effect according to the same principle as the ordi- nary rotation converter, with the difference that twice the number of locking bearing pairs are mounted, these in the working direction facing towards one another in order for reversing to be possible.
- This change may be effected with a positional displacement of the engine shaft or alternatively a mounted sleeve for this movement, splines may constitute the coupling between the sleeve and the engine shaft.
- cylinder 22 and cylinder 32 obtain the same functions during the next sequence, and so on, i.e. a two stroke function with pairwise operation.
- This may be a standard function implying double cylinder forces during the operating phase.
- the second working function relates only to fuel supply for cylinder 12 as well as cylinder 22 (single-action boxer engine) with exhaust driving of cylinder 32 and cylinder 42.
- This function operates with considerably lower fuel consumption as a result of the utilisation of the compression method, as well as the braking method for the operating cylinder.
- This basic function replaces the crankshaft function which moves the working piston back to its working position.
- each illustrated unit and/or circuit may be combined with every other illustrated unit and/or circuit without departing from the scope of the invention in order to be able to attain the desired technical function.
