Abstract

The any stroke engine female piston is characterised by a plurality of major innovating features which result in an engine that generates one engine stroke for each piston movement, i.e. two engine strokes per revolution. A first of these features is at the very root of its operation and is such that, unlike all existing engines and compressors, its piston (PF), which consists of two times four juxtaposed hollow cylinders, mutually opposed across a median plane (PM) (C1) (C'1) (C2) (C'2) (C3) (C'3) (C4) (C4) and forming intake-compression chambers (CHAI) (CHA2), pressure reservoir chambers (CHP1) (CHP2), drive chambers (CHM1) (CHM2) and exhaust-extraction chambers (CHE2 (CHE1)), does not move within a hollow space generally referred to as cylinder head block, but slides outside and covers fixed cylinder head elements (CUA1) (CUA2) (CUP1) (CUP2) (CUM1) (CUM2) (CUE1) (CUE2) secured to an engine chassis (CM) driven by a crankshaft (VB) and a connecting rod (BL). The conventional valves are replaced by movable rings (BGA) (BGE) moving inside the drive chamber (CHM1) (CHM2), and lubrication is automatically provided by the reciprocating motion of the piston (PF).

Description

PISTON ALTERNATIF ET CONTENANT FAISANT MOTEUR THERMIQUE, PNEUMATIQUE, HYBRIDE ET RECUPERATEUR D'ENERGIE PNEUMATIQUE.  ALTERNATIVE PISTON AND CONTAINER COMPRISING THERMAL, PNEUMATIC, HYBRID AND PNEUMATIC ENERGY RECOVERY.
Un piston du point de vue mécanique et technologique est un disque qui à l'intérieur d'un cylindre est animé d'un mouvement de va-et-vient pour exercer une pression ou transmettre un mouvement. Le piston, dans un moteur à explosion interne discontinue permet de transformer l'énergie chimique produite par la combustion d'un carburant, en énergie mécanique réalisée par un mouvement linéaire transformé en rotation, le plus souvent par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle et d'un vilebrequin qui eux- mêmes transmettent ladite énergie à un volant ou à une roue de machine. A piston from the mechanical and technological point of view is a disk which inside a cylinder is moved back and forth to exert a pressure or transmit a movement. The piston, in a discontinuous internal combustion engine, transforms the chemical energy produced by the combustion of a fuel into mechanical energy produced by a linear movement transformed into rotation, usually via a connecting rod and crankshaft which themselves transmit said energy to a steering wheel or a machine wheel.
Dans cette catégorie, le mélange carburant/comburant ne s'enflamme pas spontanément mais soit sous l'action d'une étincelle générée par une bougie d'allumage qui enflamme les gaz dans la chambre motrice soit d'une forte compression.  In this category, the fuel / oxidant mixture does not ignite spontaneously but is under the action of a spark generated by a spark plug which ignites the gases in the drive chamber is a strong compression.
Dans la famille des moteurs à combustion interne, le moteur à allumage commandé est une catégorie de moteur thermique pouvant être à mouvement alternatif dit à deux temps ou à quatre temps ou encore à mouvement rotatif dit communément « Wankel ». Le moteur dit à quatre temps est généralement composé d'au moins un cylindre dans lequel un piston coulisse en un mouvement rectiligne d'aller et retour transformé en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle reliant ledit piston à un vilebrequin. In the family of internal combustion engines, the spark ignition engine is a category of heat engine can be reciprocating said two-stroke or four-stroke or rotary motion so-called "Wankel". The engine said four-stroke is generally composed of at least one cylinder in which a piston slides in a rectilinear movement back and forth transformed into rotation via a connecting rod connecting said piston to a crankshaft.
Chaque cylindre est fermé par une culasse munie d'une bougie ou d'un injecteur et d'au moins deux soupapes dont une pour permettre l'alimentation du cylindre en mélange carburant/comburant et l'autre pour permettre l'évacuation des gaz brûlés vers l'échappement.  Each cylinder is closed by a cylinder head equipped with a spark plug or an injector and at least two valves, one to allow the supply of fuel / oxidant mixture to the cylinder and the other to allow the evacuation of the burnt gases. to the exhaust.
Ce moteur est dit à quatre temps car il nécessite quatre mouvements linéaires du piston par cycle de fonctionnement:  This engine is called four-stroke because it requires four linear movements of the piston per operating cycle:
L'admission, la compression, la combustion-détente et l'échappement.  Inlet, compression, combustion-expansion and exhaust.
Le mouvement du piston dans son cylindre est provoqué par la combustion d'un mélange d'air et de carburant qui a lieu durant le temps moteur. C'est le seul temps qui produit de l'énergie, les trois autres en consomment mais permettent le fonctionnement.  The movement of the piston in its cylinder is caused by the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel which takes place during the engine time. This is the only time that produces energy, the other three consume but allow the operation.
Le déplacement du piston au lancement du fonctionnement est le plus souvent réalisé par une aide extérieure telle que démarreur ou lanceur jusqu'à ce que, au moins un temps moteur produise une force capable d'assurer les trois autres temps et ainsi lancer le moteur.  The displacement of the piston at the start of operation is usually performed by an external aid such as starter or launcher until at least one engine time produces a force capable of ensuring the other three times and thus start the engine.
Ce moteur ne fournit qu'un seul temps moteur tous les quatre mouvements du piston . Plusieurs améliorations ont augmenté sa puissance, tels que le recours à un turbocompresseur, l'injection directe du carburant à très haute pression ou encore l'utilisation de la compression en fin d'échappement en fermant plus tôt les soupapes d'échappement et en injectant un peu de carburant pour recréer une combustion interne partielle intermédiaire. D'autres améliorations l'ont rendu extrêmement propre tel que par exemple le pot catalytique. Le moteur dit à deux temps est constitué d'au moins un piston qui se déplace dans un cylindre et dont le mouvement permet de remplir le cylindre de mélange carburant/comburant et d'évacuer les gaz brûlés par des lumières latérales entre la partie basse du carter et la partie haute du cylindre. Ce type de moteur propose donc un temps moteur pour deux mouvements du piston. Il présente certes des avantages tels que sa simplicité et le faible nombre de pièces impliquées ou encore sa puissance spécifique et sa faible consommation de carburant mais II présente à contrario des inconvénients tels qu'une usure prématurée des segments, une faible compression due à la chute de puissance par fuite de la poussée explosive dans les ouvertures d'échappement non munies de soupapes, et l'obligation de recourir à un combustible issu d'un mélange de carburant et d'huile ce qui conduit à des gaz évacués de mauvaise qualité. This engine provides only one engine time every four movements of the piston. Several improvements have increased its power, such as the use of a turbocharger, the direct injection of fuel at very high pressure or the use of compression at the end of the exhaust. closing the exhaust valves earlier and injecting some fuel to recreate an intermediate partial internal combustion. Other improvements have made it extremely clean such as for example the catalytic converter. The so-called two-stroke engine consists of at least one piston which moves in a cylinder and whose movement makes it possible to fill the cylinder with fuel / oxidant mixture and to evacuate the burned gases by side lights between the lower part of the cylinder. casing and the upper part of the cylinder. This type of engine therefore offers a motor time for two movements of the piston. It certainly has advantages such as its simplicity and the small number of parts involved or its specific power and low fuel consumption, but on the other hand has disadvantages such as premature wear of the segments, low compression due to the fall of power by leakage of the explosive thrust in the exhaust openings without valves, and the obligation to use a fuel from a mixture of fuel and oil which leads to poor exhaust gases.
Le moteur dit rotatif « Wankel » est un moteur bien plus complexe combinant mouvement alternatif par excentrique et rotation. Bien qu'il présente trois combustions internes par tour et donc une grande puissance théorique, sa faible compression impossible à améliorer, la forme inadaptée de ses chambres de combustion et sa lubrification polluant les gaz d'échappement ont limité son recours et son développement. Sa description et son fonctionnement ne seront pas abordés dans le présent brevet. The so-called rotary engine "Wankel" is a much more complex engine combining reciprocating movement by eccentric and rotation. Although it has three internal combustions per revolution and therefore a great theoretical power, its low compression impossible to improve, the unsuitable shape of its combustion chambers and its lubrication polluting the exhaust gases have limited its use and development. Its description and operation will not be discussed in this patent.
Quel que soit le type de moteur à combustion à ce jour existant et mis en œuvre, l'élément fondamental du fonctionnement réside dans le mouvement rectiligne alternatif du ou des pistons qui pénètrent à l'intérieur d'une cavité cylindrique correspondante fermée par une culasse, ladite culasse comprenant un élément d'allumage et/ou d'injection désigné le plus souvent par le terme « bougie » ou « injecteur » et au moins deux soupapes, une pour l'admission et l'autre pour l'échappement. Whatever the type of combustion engine that exists and is implemented, the fundamental element of the operation lies in the reciprocating rectilinear movement of the piston or pistons that penetrate inside a corresponding cylindrical cavity closed by a cylinder head. , said yoke comprising an ignition and / or injection element generally designated by the term "spark plug" or "injector" and at least two valves, one for admission and one for exhaust.
Le fondement de ces moteurs est donc le déplacement d'un piston saillant dans un volume creux présent à l'intérieur d'un bloc cylindrique vers la culasse, ce déplacement rectiligne généré par la combustion étant transformé en mouvement rotatif par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle associée à un vilebrequin. The basis of these engines is therefore the displacement of a projecting piston in a hollow volume present inside a cylindrical block towards the cylinder head, this rectilinear displacement generated by the combustion being transformed into rotary motion by means of a connecting rod associated with a crankshaft.
Cette caractéristique de quasiment tous les moteurs à pistons est à considérer avec attention pour bien comprendre l'originalité du piston femelle du présent brevet.  This characteristic of almost all piston engines is to be considered carefully to understand the originality of the female piston of this patent.
Contrairement aux pistons alternatifs ci-dessus décrits, le piston femelle de l'invention constitue un moteur tous temps ayant ainsi deux temps moteurs. Il fonctionne sans arbre à cames et permet d'être utilisé avec du gasoil. Le piston femelle de la présente invention apporte une nouveauté capitale par rapport aux principaux moteurs à combustion interne à quatre et à deux temps. Dans le moteur à quatre temps un seul temps est actif, donc moteur et producteur d'énergie, les trois autres temps sont consommateurs d'énergie. Le moteur à piston femelle de l'invention a tous ses temps qui sont moteurs car la préparation du temps moteur est concomitante puisque réalisée dans des chambres adjointes et communicantes avec la chambre motrice. Avec la totalité de ses temps qui sont moteurs, le moteur réalisé avec le piston femelle de l'invention a une réactivité et une puissance deux à quatre fois plus grandes. Unlike the alternative pistons described above, the female piston of the invention is an all-weather engine thus having two engine times. It works without camshaft and can be used with diesel. The female piston of the present invention provides a major novelty compared to the main four-stroke and two-stroke internal combustion engines. In the four-stroke engine only one time is active, therefore motor and energy producer, the other three times are energy consumers. The female piston engine of the invention has all its times that are engines because the preparation of the engine time is concomitant since performed in adjoining rooms and communicating with the drive chamber. With all of its times being driven, the engine made with the female piston of the invention has a reactivity and a power two to four times greater.
A l'opposé de la plupart des moteurs à combustion interne existants où tout le cycle de fonctionnement s'opère dans un seul espace cylindrique dans lequel s'anime le piston (L'admission, la compression, la combustion et l'échappement-détente), le moteur à piston femelle de la présente invention est caractérisé en premier lieu en ce que le cycle de fonctionnement est accompli non pas dans un seul espace cylindrique mais dans trois doubles chambres spécifiques et solidaires, de préférence alignées et coopérant fonctionnellement entre elles, dont la double chambre centrale est la chambre de combustion, les autres étant respectivement la chambre d'admission-compression et la chambre d'échappement-détente. L'unique piston dont le déplacement est rectiligne et alternatif est relié par un couple de bielles à un vilebrequin afin de générer le mouvement rotatif de l'axe moteur. In contrast to most existing internal combustion engines where the entire operating cycle takes place in a single cylindrical space in which the piston comes to life (intake, compression, combustion and exhaust-expansion ), the female piston motor of the present invention is characterized in the first place in that the operating cycle is accomplished not in a single cylindrical space but in three specific and integral double chambers, preferably aligned and cooperating functionally with each other, of which the central double chamber is the combustion chamber, the others being respectively the inlet-compression chamber and the exhaust-expansion chamber. The single piston whose displacement is rectilinear and reciprocating is connected by a pair of rods to a crankshaft to generate the rotary movement of the motor shaft.
Outre cette caractéristique particulière, le moteur à combustion interne de la présente invention se caractérise par le fait que le piston ne circule pas à l'intérieur d'un espace cylindrique creux de la culasse mais au contraire, ledit piston dit piston femelle, lui-même contenant vient recouvrir la culasse selon un mouvement rectiligne et alternatif poussant et tirant successivement la bielle pour faire tourner le vilebrequin. Sans aller plus avant dans la description de l'invention, ces seules caractéristiques du piston femelle de l'invention suffisent à le différencier fondamentalement de tous les moteurs et de tous les brevets existants. In addition to this particular characteristic, the internal combustion engine of the present invention is characterized by the fact that the piston does not circulate inside a hollow cylindrical space of the cylinder head but, on the contrary, said piston, called a female piston, itself same container comes to cover the breech in a rectilinear and alternating movement pushing and successively pulling the connecting rod to rotate the crankshaft. Without going further in the description of the invention, these characteristics of the female piston of the invention are enough to differentiate fundamentally from all engines and all existing patents.
En effet, l'état de la technique ne révèle aucun moteur à combustion interne et à pistons présentant de telles caractéristiques. On ne peut donc citer ici que des brevets existants se différenciant par leurs caractéristiques de celles des moteurs à combustion interne traditionnels mais qui manifestement sont très éloignés de la présente invention et de ses propres caractéristiques. Indeed, the state of the art reveals no internal combustion engine and pistons with such characteristics. It is therefore possible to cite here only existing patents differing in their characteristics from those of traditional internal combustion engines but which clearly are far removed from the present invention and from its own characteristics.
On citera donc parmi ces nombreux brevets existants, le brevet français DEFARGE déposé le 05/12/1997 et publié le 11/06/1999 sous le numéro FR 2 772 075, qui fait état d'un moteur thermique à double détente présentant deux chambres actives superposées l'une dans laquelle agit directement le piston directement traversé par le vilebrequin, surmontée d'une autre chambre dans laquelle un disque fait office de deuxième piston. Among the numerous existing patents, the French patent DEFARGE was filed on 05/12/1997 and published on 11/06/1999 under the number FR 2 772 075, which mentions a two-chambered double-throttled combustion engine. superimposed active ones in which the piston acts directly directly crossed by the crankshaft, surmounted by another chamber in which a disc acts as a second piston.
Ce brevet présente malgré tout la circulation des éléments faisant office de piston à l'intérieur d"un espace creux de la culasse du moteur, caractéristique qui le différencie totalement du brevet de la présente invention.  This patent still has the circulation of piston elements within a hollow space of the engine cylinder head, a feature that completely differentiates it from the patent of the present invention.
Il peut être également relevé dans l'état de la technique le brevet français Jean-Yves BLAIN déposé le 15/05/2008 et publié le 20/11/2009 sous le numéro FR 2 931 208, qui décrit un moteur thermique a récupération d'énergie thermique équipé d'un piston multifonction double effet, afin d'obtenir deux forces de travail par tour sur une seule bielle. It can also be noted in the state of the art the French patent Jean-Yves BLAIN filed on May 15, 2008 and published on November 20, 2009 under the number FR 2 931 208, which describes a heat engine with recovery of thermal energy equipped with a multifunction piston double effect, to obtain two working forces per revolution on a single rod.
Ce brevet décrit un moteur fournissant sur une seule bielle un travail par tour moteur équivalent au travail fournit par un moteur deux temps. Il permet d'augmenter fortement le rendement et diminuer la consommation et le rejet des gaz polluants.  This patent describes a motor providing on a single connecting rod work per engine revolution equivalent to the work provided by a two-stroke engine. It makes it possible to greatly increase the efficiency and decrease the consumption and the rejection of the polluting gases.
Outre ses autres caractéristiques, le moteur du brevet Jean-Yves BLAIN présente un piston animé par une bielle liée à un vilebrequin, qui circule à l'intérieur d'une chambre creuse cylindrique, caractéristique suffisante pour différencier le concept du concept objet de l'invention du présent brevet.  In addition to its other features, the engine of the patent Jean-Yves BLAIN presents a piston driven by a connecting rod connected to a crankshaft, which circulates inside a cylindrical hollow chamber, sufficient characteristic to differentiate the concept of the object concept of the invention of this patent.
On citera également le brevet français VOISINE déposé le 18/05/1998 et publié le 19/11/1999 sous le numéro FR 2 778 696 qui fait état d'un moteur thermique à piston double effet en ligne. Also mentioned is the French patent VOISINE filed 18/05/1998 and published on 19/11/1999 under the number FR 2 778 696 which refers to an inline double-acting piston heat engine.
Le concept de ce brevet se différencie sensiblement du moteur de l'invention du présent brevet par sa constitution même qui fait appel à un excentrique central agissant sur les pistons sans intermédiaire de bielles et vilebrequin. Chaque piston est animé selon un mouvement rectiligne alternatif à l'intérieur d'un espace creux cylindrique. Aucune de ces caractéristiques ne peut être rapprochée du moteur objet du présent brevet. The concept of this patent differs substantially from the engine of the invention of this patent by its very constitution which uses a central eccentric acting on the pistons without connecting rods and crankshaft. Each piston is driven in a reciprocating rectilinear motion within a cylindrical hollow space. None of these characteristics can be compared with the engine object of this patent.
La présente invention a pour objet un piston femelle pouvant constituer un moteur à tous temps moteurs, que cela soit à combustion interne ou pneumatique. The present invention relates to a female piston that can constitute a motor at all times engines, whether it is internal combustion or pneumatic.
Le piston moteur de la présente invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend quatre cylindriques creux de même longueur associés et juxtaposés en ligne, trois de ces quatre cylindres creux étant de même diamètre intérieur, le quatrième étant de diamètre intérieur inférieur à celui des trois autres et représentant entre 10% à 30% de ce dernier.  The engine piston of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises four hollow cylinders of the same length associated and juxtaposed in line, three of these four hollow cylinders being of the same internal diameter, the fourth being of smaller internal diameter than the three others and representing between 10% to 30% of the latter.

De manière tout à fait contraire à la plupart des moteurs à piston existants, le piston femelle précédemment décrit ne circule pas à l'intérieur d'un volume creux mais chacune de ses chambres circule à l'extérieur de volumes pleins, saillants et convexes désignés ci-après «Culasse », chacune des chambres précitées venant recouvrir sa culasse respective pour constituer le moteur.  Two opposite large diameter chambers for the exhaust-exhaust designated hereafter: Extraction-exhaust chamber. In a manner quite contrary to most existing piston engines, the female piston described above does not circulate inside a hollow volume, but each of its chambers circulates outside designated solid, raised and convex volumes. hereinafter "cylinder head", each of the aforementioned chambers coming to cover its respective cylinder head to form the engine.
Si le piston femelle de l'invention est la partie mobile du moteur dont il est le fondement, les parties fixes dudit moteur sont constituées par la « culasse », le châssis, le carter, les axes fixes de rotation des mécanismes de blocage des bagues et des leviers, les tuyauteries de pompe à huile, les paliers de vilebrequin, les réservoirs d'air comprimé à haute pression etc. If the female piston of the invention is the mobile part of the engine which it is the foundation, the fixed parts of said engine are constituted by the "yoke", the frame, the housing, the fixed axes of rotation of the ring locking mechanisms and levers, oil pump piping, crankshaft bearings, high pressure compressed air tanks, etc.
Les parties fixes dites « culasse » qui sont recouvertes par les chambres du piston femelle sont solidaires d'un châssis mécanique fixe dit « châssis moteur », elles sont au nombre de huit, de diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur des chambres par lesquelles elles sont recouvertes et chacune d'entre elles est coiffée par les parois de la chambre du piston femelle qui lui est associée. Selon leur position et leur fonction lesdites « culasse » seront désignées ci-après par : The fixed parts called "breech" which are covered by the chambers of the female piston are integral with a fixed mechanical chassis called "motor frame", they are eight in number, slightly smaller in diameter than the internal diameter of the chambers by which they are covered and each of them is capped by the walls of the chamber of the female piston associated with it. Depending on their position and function, said "breech" will be designated below by:
Culasse d'admission-compression qui est recouverte par la chambre d'admission-compression, - Culasse de réserve de pression qui est recouverte par la chambre de réserve de pression, Intake-compression cylinder head which is covered by the intake-compression chamber, - Pressure reserve cylinder head which is covered by the pressure reserve chamber,
Culasse motrice qui est recouverte par la chambre motrice, Cylinder head that is covered by the drive chamber,
Culasse d'extraction-échappement qui est recouverte par la chambre d'extraction- échappement.  Exhaust-exhaust head that is covered by the exhaust-exhaust chamber.
Chaque « culasse » dispose sur le plan périphérique de son extrémité active c'est-à-dire la partie fermée coopérant avec le fond du piston femelle, d'au moins deux gorges destinées à recevoir chacune un segment d'étanchéité pour être en contact avec le plan périphérique intérieur de la chambre dans laquelle elle se situe. Chaque espace entre les segments de chaque culasse, dit « espace inter segmentaire » dispose d'orifices de sorties de conduits permettant l'apport d'une lubrification entre la « culasse » et la chambre du piston qui la coiffe. Each "yoke" has on the peripheral plane of its active end that is to say the closed portion cooperating with the bottom of the female piston, at least two grooves each for receiving a sealing segment to be in contact with the inner peripheral plane of the room in which it is located. Each space between the segments of each yoke, called "intersegmental space" has duct outlet orifices allowing the supply of lubrication between the "cylinder head" and the piston chamber which caps it.
Chacune des « culasses » précitées est équipée selon sa fonction.  Each of the aforementioned "heads" is equipped according to its function.
Les « culasses d'admission-compression » disposent d'une valve de haut de culasse qui se ferme lorsque la chambre correspondante avance et comprime les gaz au contraire cette valve s'ouvre lorsque la chambre correspondante se retire pour aspirer les gaz qui sont prélevés dans le carter châssis moteur après passage dans un filtre. Les « culasses de réserve de pression » disposent d'une valve de haut de culasse qui est télécommandée de l'extérieur du piston, elle permet de réguler la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre de réserve de pression. The "intake-compression yokes" have a cylinder head valve which closes when the corresponding chamber advances and compresses the gas, on the contrary this valve opens when the corresponding chamber is withdrawn to suck up the gases that are withdrawn. in the crankcase after passing through a filter. The "pressure reserve heads" have a cylinder head valve which is remotely controlled from the outside of the piston, it allows to regulate the pressure inside the pressure reserve chamber.
Les « culasses motrices » sont équipées d'au moins un injecteur de carburant et d'au moins un injecteur pneumatique à haute pression ainsi que d'un système d'allumage ou de réchauffement de la chambre (bougie d'allumage ou de préchauffage), lesdits éléments étant alimentés par des pompes et systèmes extérieurs au moteur proprement dit et alimentés électriquement ou entraînés par le moteur lui-même. The "driving heads" are equipped with at least one fuel injector and at least one high pressure pneumatic injector and an ignition or heating system of the chamber (spark plug or preheating plug) said elements being powered by pumps and systems external to the engine proper and electrically powered or driven by the engine itself.
Les « culasse d'extraction-échappement » disposent d'une valve de haut de culasse qui se ferme lors du retrait de la chambre correspondante afin de diminuer la pression, au contraire cette valve s'ouvre lorsque la chambre avance sur la culasse afin d'évacuer les gaz brûlés dans les tuyaux d'échappements. The "exhaust-exhaust cylinder head" has a cylinder head valve which closes when the corresponding chamber is removed to reduce the pressure, unlike this valve opens when the chamber moves on the cylinder head in order to reduce the pressure. evacuate the flue gases in the exhaust pipes.
Le carter enveloppant le moteur dit « carter châssis » est insonorisé et refroidi par ventilation et/ou aération contrôlée, l'air refroidit le piston femelle et élève simultanément sa température et sa pression au contact des « culasses d'extraction-échappement », il est ensuite prélevé et filtré pour rejoindre les « culasses d'admission-compression ». The casing enveloping the so-called "chassis casing" engine is soundproofed and cooled by ventilation and / or controlled ventilation, the air cools the female piston and simultaneously raises its temperature and its pressure in contact with the "exhaust-exhaust cylinder heads". is then removed and filtered to join the "intake-compression yokes".
Le « carter châssis » dispose de paliers supports de vilebrequin et de rails-came, guides des galets tournants des leviers basculants des bagues d'admission et bagues d'échappement ainsi que d'autres points pour fixer le moteur sur l'objet à motoriser. De plus il contient les réservoirs d'air comprimé à très haute pression qui sont ainsi maintenus à haute température.  The "chassis housing" has crankshaft support bearings and cam rails, rotating rollers guides of the swinging levers of the intake rings and exhaust rings as well as other points for fixing the motor on the object to be motorized. . In addition, it contains very high pressure compressed air tanks which are thus maintained at high temperature.
Une communication reliant chacune des « chambres d'admission-compression » à chacune des « chambres de réserve de pression » qui lui est opposée est réalisée au moyen d'un conduit, de telle manière que l'air comprimé dans chaque « chambre d'admission-compression » soit transféré par ledit conduit dans la « chambre de réserve de pression » qui lui est opposée. Ainsi ce transfert croisé des compressions conduit à l'admission d'un volume d'air pré-comprimé au bon moment du fonctionnement dans chaque « chambre motrice ». La pression ainsi transférée dans la « chambre de réserve de pression » est maintenue au moyen de valve anti-retour. A communication connecting each of the "inlet-compression chambers" to each of the "pressure reserve chambers" opposite it is carried out by means of a conduit, so that the compressed air in each "chamber" admission-compression "is transferred by said conduit into the" pressure reserve chamber "opposite it. Thus this cross transfer of compressions leads to the admission of a volume of pre-compressed air at the right moment of the functioning in each "driving chamber". The pressure thus transferred into the "pressure reserve chamber" is maintained by means of a non-return valve.
L'intercommunication entre les « chambres de réserve de pression », les « chambres motrices » et les « chambres d'extraction-échappement » de chaque partie opposée du piston femelle, est réalisée par des espaces libres communicants obturés ou libérés par les déplacements de bagues mobiles animées à l'intérieur de la « chambre motrice ». The intercommunication between the "pressure reserve chambers", the "drive chambers" and the "extraction-exhaust chambers" of each opposite part of the female piston, is achieved by communicating free spaces closed off or released by the displacements of animated mobile rings inside the "driving chamber".
La paroi périphérique de chacune des « chambres motrices » opposées du piston femelle, dispose d'un espace périphérique autrement dit un alésage issu du plan d'ouverture de la « chambre motrice » dit ci- après « alésage porte bagues » , de profondeur longitudinale inférieure à la profondeur de la « chambre motrice » et de profondeur diamétrale suffisante pour recevoir le déplacement de deux bagues mobiles successives, de telle manière que le diamètre extérieur desdites bagues mobiles successives soit en contact avec le diamètre de l'alésage porte bagues dans lequel elles se déplacent et le diamètre intérieur desdites bagues mobiles successives soit confondu avec le diamètre intérieur de la « chambre motrice ».  The peripheral wall of each of the opposite "drive chambers" of the female piston has a peripheral space, in other words a bore coming from the opening plane of the "driving chamber", hereinafter referred to as "bushing bore", of longitudinal depth. less than the depth of the "drive chamber" and of sufficient diametric depth to receive the displacement of two successive movable rings, such that the outer diameter of said successive mobile rings is in contact with the diameter of the bore bearing rings in which they move and the inner diameter of said successive movable rings is merged with the inner diameter of the "driving chamber".
Les deux bagues mobiles successives sont indépendantes l'une de l'autre et mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre à l'intérieur de « l'alésage porte bagues » qui les reçoit, elles peuvent se déplacer seules ou ensemble. Une de ses deux bagues mobiles successives est de hauteur réduite et placée au fond de « l'alésage porte bague », vers le fond de la « chambre motrice », elle est désignée ci-après par le terme « bague d'admission ». L'autre bague mobile qui succède à la « bague d'admission », a une hauteur équivalente à la totalité de la hauteur restante de « l'alésage porte bague », elle est désignée ci-après par le terme « bague d'échappement ».  The two successive movable rings are independent of one another and movable relative to each other within the "bushing bore" which receives them, they can move alone or together. One of its two successive mobile rings is of reduced height and placed at the bottom of the "ring bore" to the bottom of the "drive chamber", it is hereinafter referred to as the "intake ring". The other movable ring that succeeds the "inlet ring" has a height equivalent to the entire remaining height of the "bushing bore", it is hereinafter referred to as "exhaust ring ".
Le diamètre de « l'alésage porte bagues » est muni d'au moins deux gorges recevant chacune un segment pour assurer l'étanchéité et la lubrification du mouvement des bagues. The diameter of the "bushing bore" is provided with at least two grooves each receiving a segment to seal and lubricate the movement of the rings.
La « bague d'admission » et la « bague d'échappement » de chacune des « chambres motrices », sont rendues mobiles à l'intérieur de « l'alésage porte bagues », au moyen de pattes intégrées et solidaires de chacune d'elles dite « patte-contact », chacune desdites « pattes-contact » étant actionnées par un « levier basculant », muni à son extrémité libre extérieure au corps de la « chambre motrice », d'un « galet tournant » maintenu en contact avec un rail extérieur faisant office de came ci-après désignés « rail-came ». The "intake ring" and the "exhaust ring" of each of the "drive chambers" are made movable inside the "bushing bore" by means of integrated and integral legs of each of they called "contact tab", each of said "contact tabs" being actuated by a "rocker lever", provided at its free outer end to the body of the "drive chamber", a "rotating roller" maintained in contact with an outer rail acting as cam hereinafter referred to as "rail-cam".
Ainsi l'ouverture et la fermeture des orifices d'intercommunication entre les « chambres de réserve de pression », « chambres motrices » et « chambre d'extraction-échappement » sont commandées par le profil des « rails-came » extérieurs au corps de la « chambre motrice », sur lesquels circulent les « galets tournants » des « leviers basculants » agissant directement sur les « pattes-contact » intégrées aux bagues mobiles. Un ressort ramène en appui chaque levier basculant sur chaque « patte-contact » après avoir été mobilisé par le « rail-came ». Thus the opening and closing of the intercommunication orifices between the "pressure reserve chambers", "drive chambers" and "extraction-exhaust chamber" are controlled by the profile of the "cam rails" external to the body of the the "driving chamber", on which circulate the "revolving rollers" of the "tilting levers" acting directly on the "contact tabs" integrated with the mobile rings. A spring brings back each lever swinging on each "contact tab" after being mobilized by the "rail-cam".
Pour garantir les déplacements des bagues mobiles à l'intérieur de « l'alésage porte bagues » sous l'action des « pattes-contact », chacune des « pattes-contact » solidaire de chacune des bagues mobiles est soumise à l'action d'un ressort de rappel pour la ramener en position initiale. Chaque ressort de rappel est intégré dans un logement creux situé à l'intérieur du corps périphérique de la « chambre motrice », logement creux dans lequel s'animent le « levier basculant » et la « patte-contact » sous l'effet du profil du « rail-came » correspondant. In order to guarantee the movements of the movable rings inside the "bushing bore" under the action of the "contact tabs", each of the "contact tabs" integral with each of the movable rings is subjected to the action of a return spring to return it to the initial position. Each return spring is integrated in a hollow housing located inside the peripheral body of the "driving chamber" hollow housing in which the "tilting lever" and the "contact tab" come alive under the effect of the profile. of the corresponding "cam rail".
Quatre axes fixes qui traversent le piston femelle permettent la rotation des crochets de retenue des « leviers basculants » afin que les galets des « leviers basculants » n'appuient plus sur les « rails-came » pour ne plus ouvrir les communications entre la « chambre de réserve de pression » et la « chambre motrice » et entre la « chambre motrice » et la « chambre d'extraction- échappement ». Ainsi le piston femelle sert de frein moteur et récupérateur d'énergie pneumatique en devenant un compresseur à deux étages où l'air est comprimé dans la « chambre d'admission-compression » puis comprimé une nouvelle fois dans la « chambre de réserve de pression » pour être récupéré à très haute pression par le biais de la valve de haut de culasse de la « chambre de réserve de pression » et de la valve de récupération de pression qui oriente l'air comprimé deux fois vers la « chambre de mélange de pression » en cas de fonctionnement comme moteur pneumatique ou bien vers la réserve de haute pression pneumatique en cas de récupération d'énergie au freinage. Four fixed axes that pass through the female piston allow the rotation of the retaining hooks of the "tilting levers" so that the rollers of the "tilting levers" no longer support the "cam rails" to no longer open communications between the "chamber" pressure reserve "and the" drive chamber "and between the" drive chamber "and the" exhaust-exhaust chamber ". Thus, the female piston serves as a motor brake and a pneumatic energy recuperator by becoming a two-stage compressor where the air is compressed in the "inlet-compression chamber" and then compressed again in the "pressure reserve chamber" To be recovered at very high pressure through the "pressure reserve chamber" high-head valve and the pressure recovery valve that directs the compressed air twice towards the "mixing chamber". pressure "when operating as a pneumatic motor or to the pneumatic high pressure reserve in case of braking energy recovery.
A l'intérieur de la paroi périphérique de chaque « chambre motrice », à l'arrière du plan périphérique de « l'alésage porte bagues » et hors des zones de lubrification inter segmentaires, un canal périphérique dit « canal périphérique de communication » issu de chaque chambre de réserve de pression est prévu. Ce canal de communication communique avec l'intérieur de l'alésage porte bagues et donc avec l'intérieur de la chambre motrice au moyen d'une pluralité de petits canaux radiaux, chacun débouchant par un orifice dit « orifice d'admission ». Ces orifices d'admissions sont tous situés sur une même génératrice et au niveau supérieur de la bague d'admission afin d'être découverts simultanément par un déplacement réduit des bagues mobiles. Ce dispositif a pour fonction le transfert rapide des gaz d'admission lorsque le piston est en fin de course, afin de réaliser par un déplacement réduit une compression optimum garantissant une bonne combustion interne. Chaque orifice d'admission est muni d'un joint d'étanchéité admettant le glissement du plan périphérique extérieur de la bague d'admission.  Inside the peripheral wall of each "drive chamber", at the rear of the peripheral plane of the "ring holder bore" and out of the intersegmental lubrication zones, a peripheral channel called "peripheral communication channel" coming from of each pressure reserve chamber is provided. This communication channel communicates with the inside of the bushing bore and thus with the interior of the drive chamber by means of a plurality of small radial channels, each opening through an orifice called "inlet orifice". These admission ports are all located on the same generator and the upper level of the intake ring to be simultaneously discovered by a reduced displacement of the movable rings. This device has the function of rapid transfer of the intake gas when the piston is at the end of the stroke, to achieve by a reduced displacement optimum compression ensuring good internal combustion. Each intake port is provided with a seal permitting sliding of the outer peripheral plane of the intake ring.
Un dispositif est prévu pour bloquer ou libérer alternativement les bagues mobiles et éviter leurs déplacements par inertie lors de la combustion interne ou permettre leur glissement pour l'admission ou l'extraction des gaz. La lubrification inter segmentaire des bagues mobiles est assurée par le même système formant pompe à huile, que celui mis en œuvre pour la lubrification inter segmentaire des culasses. Deux tubes par chambre motrice sont solidarisés au châssis et reliés à un circuit d'alimentation en huile. Chaque tube coulisse à l'intérieur d'un espace cylindrique empli d'huile situé diamétralement de part et d'autre de la chambre motrice. Chacun de ces espaces cylindriques communique avec les espaces de lubrification inter segmentaires situés en périphérie de l'espace porte bagues. Chacun des tubes est muni en extrémité de valves à ouverture opposée de telle manière que lorsqu'un tube pénètre dans l'espace cylindrique empli d'huile sa valve est fermée afin qu'il agisse comme un piston alors que simultanément, le tube diamétralement opposé est ouvert pour permettre l'évacuation du lubrifiant. Cette association de tubes avec les mouvements du piston agit comme une pompe à huile par pénétration, alimentant la lubrification automatique des espaces inter segmentaires des bagues mobiles et des culasses du piston femelle de l'invention. A device is provided for alternately locking or releasing the mobile rings and preventing their displacement by inertia during the internal combustion or allow their sliding for admission or extraction of gases. The intersegmental lubrication of the mobile rings is provided by the same oil pump system as that used for the inter segmental lubrication of the cylinder heads. Two tubes per driving chamber are secured to the frame and connected to an oil supply circuit. Each tube slides inside a cylindrical space filled with oil located diametrically on either side of the drive chamber. Each of these cylindrical spaces communicates with the inter segmental lubrication spaces located at the periphery of the bushing space. Each of the tubes is equipped at the end with valves with opposite opening so that when a tube enters the cylindrical space filled with oil its valve is closed so that it acts as a piston while simultaneously, the tube diametrically opposite is open to allow the evacuation of the lubricant. This association of tubes with the movements of the piston acts as a penetrating oil pump, feeding the automatic lubrication of the inters segmental spaces of the mobile rings and the yokes of the female piston of the invention.
Les espaces inter segmentaires de chacune des culasses communiquent entre eux de manière à ce que le dispositif de lubrification ci-dessus exposé puisse alimenté l'ensemble des espaces inter segmentaires de l'ensemble des culasses du piston.  The intersegmental spaces of each of the yokes communicate with each other so that the above lubrication device can feed all the inters segmental spaces of the assembly of the cylinder heads.
Le piston femelle de l'invention peut transmettre son énergie selon deux modes différents ; un premier mode consistant à disposer le vilebrequin en regard d'un ou l'autre des plans d'extrémité du piston femelle, ledit vilebrequin animant un piston femelle de part et d'autre de son lieu de rotation, ou un second mode consistant en ce que le vilebrequin agit à l'intérieur d'un espace libre séparant un piston femelle en deux parties égales, constitué de deux plans médians perpendiculaire à l'axe du piston femelle, ce dernier étant constitué en une seule pièce composée de deux parties identiques séparées par un espace libre dans lequel agit le vilebrequin. Le vilebrequin peut agir sur un axe perpendiculaire ou parallèle à l'axe du ou des pistons femelles à animer. The female piston of the invention can transmit its energy in two different modes; a first mode of arranging the crankshaft opposite one or the other of the end planes of the female piston, said crankshaft animating a female piston on either side of its place of rotation, or a second mode consisting of that the crankshaft acts within a free space separating a female piston into two equal parts, consisting of two median planes perpendicular to the axis of the female piston, the latter being constituted in a single piece composed of two identical parts separated by a free space in which the crankshaft acts. The crankshaft can act on an axis perpendicular or parallel to the axis of the female pistons to be animated.
Le piston femelle de l'invention est préférablement muni sur et à au moins un endroit d'au moins deux génératrices de son plan périphérique extérieur de galets tournants de manière à mieux guider ses mouvements à l'intérieur d'un châssis support. La présente invention consiste en un piston femelle alternatif externe et contenant pour moteur à combustion interne ou pneumatique, caractérisé en ce que contrairement à tous les moteurs à piston existants, le dit piston n'est pas conçu pour se déplacer à l'intérieur d'un cylindre creux et fixe fermé par une culasse, mais pour se déplacer à l'extérieur en recouvrant une culasse saillante et fixe, c'est donc un piston alternatif externe et contenant. The female piston of the invention is preferably provided on and at least one location of at least two generatrices of its outer peripheral plane of rotating rollers so as to better guide its movements inside a support frame. The present invention consists of an external reciprocating female piston and containing for internal combustion engine or pneumatic, characterized in that unlike all existing piston engines, said piston is not designed to move inside of a hollow and fixed cylinder closed by a cylinder head, but to move outside by covering a projecting and fixed yoke, so it is an external and containing reciprocating piston.

Le quatrième volume de contenance inférieure constitue une chambre de réserve de pression placée entre d'une part la chambre d'admission-compression et d'autre part la chambre motrice. La communication entre les différentes chambres est assurée principalement par l'ouverture et la fermeture d'orifices de communication au moyen de bagues internes à la chambre motrice, lesdites bagues étant animées par des leviers basculants munis de galets tournants et s'appuyant sur le profil de rails cames extérieurs.

Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, chaque chambre d'admission-compression communique avec la chambre de réserve de pression qui lui est opposée au moyen d'un conduit, de telle manière que l'air comprimé dans chaque chambre d'admission-compression est transféré par ledit conduit dans la chambre de réserve de pression qui lui est opposée. Ainsi ce transfert croisé des compressions conduit à l'admission d'un volume d'air pré-comprimé au bon moment du fonctionnement dans chaque chambre motrice. La pression ainsi transférée dans la chambre de réserve de pression est maintenue au moyen de valve anti-retour. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, each inlet-compression chamber communicates with the pressure reserve chamber which is opposite to it by means of a conduit, so that the compressed air in each chamber of admission-compression is transferred by said conduit into the pressure reserve chamber opposite it. Thus, this cross-transfer of compressions leads to the admission of a volume of pre-compressed air at the right moment of operation in each driving chamber. The pressure thus transferred into the pressure reserve chamber is maintained by means of a non-return valve.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'intercommunication entre les chambres de réserve de pression, les chambres motrices et les chambres d'extraction-échappement de chaque partie opposée du piston femelle, est réalisée par des espaces libres communicants obturés ou libérés par les déplacements de bagues mobiles animées à l'intérieur de la chambre motrice . Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la paroi périphérique de chacune des chambres motrices opposées du piston femelle, dispose d'un espace périphérique autrement dit un alésage issu du plan d'ouverture de la chambre motrice dit ci-après « alésage porte bagues » , de profondeur longitudinale inférieure à la profondeur de la chambre motrice et de profondeur diamétrale suffisante pour recevoir le déplacement de deux bagues mobiles successives, de telle manière que le diamètre extérieur desdites bagues mobiles successives soit en contact avec le diamètre de l'alésage porte bagues dans lequel elles se déplacent et le diamètre intérieur desdites bagues mobiles successives soit confondu avec le diamètre intérieur de la chambre motrice. Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les deux bagues mobiles successives sont indépendantes l'une de l'autre et mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre à l'intérieur de l'alésage porte bagues qui les reçoit, elles peuvent se déplacer seules ou ensemble. Une de ses deux bagues mobiles successives est de hauteur réduite et placée au fond de l'alésage porte bague, vers le fond de la chambre motrice, elle est désignée ci-après par le terme « bague d'admission ». L'autre bague mobile qui succède à la bague d'admission, a une hauteur équivalente à la totalité de la hauteur restante de l'alésage porte bague, elle est désignée ci-après par le terme « bague d'échappement ». According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the intercommunication between the pressure reserve chambers, the drive chambers and the extraction-exhaust chambers of each opposite part of the female piston is effected by closed communicating free spaces or released by moving animated bushings inside the drive chamber. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the peripheral wall of each of the opposite drive chambers of the female piston has a peripheral space, in other words a bore coming from the plane of opening of the driving chamber, hereinafter referred to as "bore bushing holder "of longitudinal depth less than the depth of the driving chamber and of sufficient diametric depth to receive the displacement of two successive mobile rings, such that the outer diameter of said successive mobile rings is in contact with the diameter of the bore bore rings in which they move and the inner diameter of said successive movable rings is coincident with the inner diameter of the drive chamber. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the two successive mobile rings are independent of one another and movable relative to each other inside the bushing bore which receives them, they can move alone or together. One of its two successive mobile rings is of reduced height and placed at the bottom of the bushing bore, towards the bottom of the drive chamber, it is hereinafter referred to as the "inlet ring". The other movable ring which succeeds the intake ring, has a height equivalent to the entire remaining height of the bore bushing ring, it is hereinafter referred to as the "exhaust ring".
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'alésage porte bagues est muni sur son plan périphérique intérieur d'au moins deux gorges pour recevoir chacune un segment pour assurer l'étanchéité et la lubrification du mouvement des bagues. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the bushing bore is provided on its inner peripheral plane with at least two grooves to each receive a segment to seal and lubricate the movement of the rings.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la bague d'admission et la bague d'échappement de chacune des chambres motrices, sont rendues mobiles à l'intérieur de l'alésage porte bagues, au moyen de pattes intégrées et solidaires de chacune d'elles dites « patte-contact », chacune desdites pattes- contact étant actionnées par un levier basculant , muni à son extrémité libre extérieure au corps de la chambre motrice, d'un galet tournant maintenu au contact de la « patte-contact » par un ressort de maintien en appui des leviers basculants et mobilisé par un rail extérieur faisant office de came ci-après désignés « rail-came ». Ainsi l'ouverture et la fermeture des orifices d'intercommunication entre les chambres de réserve de pression, les chambres motrices et les chambres d'extraction-échappement, sont commandées par le profil des rails-came extérieurs au corps de la chambre motrice, sur lesquels circulent les galets tournants des leviers basculants agissant directement sur les pattes-contact intégrées aux bagues mobiles, ou étirant les ressorts de maintien des leviers basculants sans mobiliser les bagues. Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, chacune des pattes-contact solidaire de chacune des bagues mobiles est soumise à l'action d'un ressort de rappel pour la ramener en position initiale. Chaque ressort de rappel est intégré dans un logement creux situé à l'intérieur du corps périphérique de la chambre motrice, logement creux dans lequel s'animent le levier basculant et la patte-contact sous l'effet du profil d'un rail-came correspondant. Le levier basculant est maintenu en appui sur la patte-contact par un ressort de maintien en appui des leviers basculants sur la patte-contact. Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, un canal périphérique dit « canal périphérique de communication » issu de chaque chambre de réserve de pression, est prévu à l'intérieur de la paroi périphérique de chaque chambre motrice , à l'arrière du plan périphérique de l'alésage porte bagues et hors des zones de lubrification inter segmentaires. Ce canal de communication communique avec l'intérieur de l'alésage porte bagues et donc avec l'intérieur de la chambre motrice au moyen d'une pluralité de petits canaux radiaux, chacun débouchant par un orifice dit « orifice d'admission ». Ces orifices d'admissions sont tous situés sur une même génératrice et au niveau supérieur de la bague d'admission afin d'être découverts simultanément par un déplacement réduit des bagues mobiles. Ce dispositif a pour fonction le transfert rapide des gaz d'admission lorsque le piston est en fin de course, afin de réaliser par un déplacement réduit une compression optimum garantissant une bonne combustion interne. Chaque orifice d'admission est muni d'un joint d'étanchéité admettant le glissement du plan périphérique extérieur de la bague d'admission. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the intake ring and the exhaust ring of each of the driving chambers, are made mobile inside the bore bearing rings, by means of integral tabs and secured to each of them called "contact tab", each of said contact tabs being actuated by a rocking lever, provided at its outer free end to the body of the drive chamber, a rotating roller held in contact with the "contact tab By a support spring in support of the rocking levers and mobilized by an outer rail acting as a cam, hereinafter referred to as "rail-cam". Thus the opening and closing of the intercommunication orifices between the pressure reserve chambers, the drive chambers and the exhaust-exhaust chambers are controlled by the profile of the cam rails external to the body of the driving chamber, on which circulate the rotating rollers of the rocking levers acting directly on the contact tabs integrated in the movable rings, or stretching the holding springs of the rocking levers without mobilizing the rings. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the integral contact tabs of each of the mobile rings is subjected to the action of a return spring to bring it back to the initial position. Each return spring is integrated in a hollow housing located inside the peripheral body the driving chamber, hollow housing in which the tilting lever and the contact lug come to life under the effect of the profile of a corresponding cam rail. The tilting lever is held in abutment on the contact tab by a holding spring resting the rocking levers on the contact tab. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, a peripheral channel called "peripheral communication channel" from each pressure reserve chamber, is provided inside the peripheral wall of each driving chamber, at the rear of the peripheral plane of the bore rings and out of inter segmental lubrication zones. This communication channel communicates with the inside of the bushing bore and thus with the interior of the drive chamber by means of a plurality of small radial channels, each opening through an orifice called "inlet orifice". These admission ports are all located on the same generator and the upper level of the intake ring to be simultaneously discovered by a reduced displacement of the movable rings. This device has the function of rapid transfer of the intake gas when the piston is at the end of the stroke, to achieve by a reduced displacement optimum compression ensuring good internal combustion. Each intake port is provided with a seal permitting sliding of the outer peripheral plane of the intake ring.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, quatre axes de rotation traversent le piston femelle et permettent par rotation d'une pièce mécanique de bloquer alternativement les bagues mobiles pour éviter leurs déplacements par inertie lors de la combustion interne ou les libérer pour admettre ou extraire les gaz. Ces quatre axes fixes qui traversent le piston femelle permettent la rotation des crochets de retenue des leviers basculants afin que les galets des leviers basculants n'appuient plus sur les rails-came pour ne plus ouvrir les communications entre la « chambre de réserve de pression » et la « chambre motrice » et entre la « chambre motrice » et la « chambre d'extraction-échappement ». Ainsi le piston femelle sert de frein moteur et récupérateur d'énergie pneumatique en devenant un compresseur à deux étages où l'air est comprimé dans la « chambre d'admission-compression » puis comprimé une nouvelle fois dans la « chambre de réserve de pression », pour être récupéré à très haute pression par le biais de la valve de haute de culasse de la « chambre de réserve de pression » et de la valve de récupération de pression qui oriente l'air comprimé deux fois vers la chambre de mélange de pression en cas de fonctionnement comme moteur pneumatique ou bien vers la réserve de haute pression pneumatique en cas de récupération d'énergie au freinage. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, four axes of rotation pass through the female piston and allow rotation of a mechanical part alternately to block the movable rings to prevent their displacement by inertia during internal combustion or to release them to admit or extract the gases. These four fixed axes which pass through the female piston allow the rotation of the tilting levers retaining hooks so that the rollers of the swinging levers no longer support the cam rails to no longer open the communications between the "pressure reserve chamber" and the "driving chamber" and between the "driving chamber" and the "exhaust-exhaust chamber". Thus, the female piston serves as a motor brake and a pneumatic energy recuperator by becoming a two-stage compressor where the air is compressed in the "inlet-compression chamber" and then compressed again in the "pressure reserve chamber" ", To be recovered at very high pressure through the high-head valve of the" pressure reserve chamber "and the pressure-recovery valve that directs the compressed air twice towards the mixing chamber. pressure when operating as a pneumatic motor or to the pneumatic high pressure reserve in case of energy recovery during braking.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la lubrification inter segmentaire des bagues mobiles et des culasses fixes est assurée par le même système formant pompe à huile animée par le mouvement du piston femelle. Le système de lubrification est constitué de deux tubes par chambre motrice, solidarisés au châssis et reliés à un circuit d'alimentation en huile. Chaque tube coulisse à l'intérieur d'un espace cylindrique empli d'huile situé diamétralement de part et d'autre de la chambre motrice. Chacun de ces espaces cylindriques communique avec les espaces de lubrification inter segmentaires situés en périphérie de l'espace porte bagues. Chacun des tubes coulissants est muni en extrémité d'une valve à ouverture identique qui s'ouvre et se ferme alternativement, de telle manière que lorsqu'un tube pénètre dans l'espace cylindrique empli d'huile, sa valve est fermée afin qu'il agisse comme un piston alors que simultanément, le tube diamétralement opposé qui sort de l'espace cylindrique empli d'huile lui est ouvert pour permettre l'évacuation du lubrifiant. Cette association de tubes avec les mouvements du piston agit comme une pompe à huile par pénétration alimentant la lubrification automatique des espaces inter segmentaires des bagues mobiles et des culasses du piston femelle de l'invention. Les espaces inter segmentaires de chacune des culasses communiquent entre eux de manière à ce que le dispositif de lubrification puisse alimenté l'ensemble des espaces inter segmentaires de l'ensemble des culasses du piston. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the inter-segmental lubrication of the mobile rings and fixed yokes is provided by the same oil pump system driven by the movement of the female piston. The lubrication system consists of two tubes per drive chamber, secured to the frame and connected to an oil supply circuit. Each tube slides inside a cylindrical space filled with oil located diametrically on either side of the chamber driving. Each of these cylindrical spaces communicates with the inter segmental lubrication spaces located at the periphery of the bushing space. Each of the sliding tubes is provided at the end with an identical opening valve which opens and closes alternately, so that when a tube enters the cylindrical space filled with oil, its valve is closed so that it acts as a piston while simultaneously, the diametrically opposite tube leaving the cylindrical space filled with oil is opened to allow the removal of the lubricant. This association of tubes with the movements of the piston acts as a penetration oil pump supplying the automatic lubrication of the inters segmental spaces of the mobile rings and the yokes of the female piston of the invention. The intersegmental spaces of each of the yokes communicate with each other so that the lubrication device can feed all the intersegmental spaces of the assembly of the cylinder heads.

(See Fig 3, 5, 7).
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la paroi périphérique de chacune des chambres motrices (CHMl) (CHM2) opposées du piston femelle (PF), dispose d'un espace périphérique autrement dit un alésage issu du plan d'ouverture de la chambre motrice dit ci-après « alésage porte bagues » (APB), de profondeur longitudinale inférieure à la profondeur de la chambre motrice (CHMl) (CHM2) et de profondeur diamétrale suffisante pour recevoir le déplacement de deux bagues mobiles successives, de telle manière que le diamètre extérieur desdites bagues mobiles successives soit en contact avec le diamètre de l'alésage porte bagues (APB) dans lequel elles se déplacent et le diamètre intérieur desdites bagues mobiles successives soit confondu avec le diamètre intérieur de la chambre motrice (CH 1) (CHM2). (Voir Fig 7). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the peripheral wall of each of the opposite drive chambers (CHM1) (CHM2) of the female piston (PF) has a peripheral space, in other words a bore coming from the opening plane of the driving chamber, hereinafter referred to as "bushing bore" (APB), of longitudinal depth less than the depth of the driving chamber (CHM1) (CHM2) and of diametrical depth sufficient to receive the displacement of two successive movable rings, such that the outer diameter of said successive movable rings is in contact with the diameter of the bore bush bearing (APB) in which they move and the inside diameter of said successive movable rings is confused with the inner diameter of the drive chamber (CH 1) (CHM2). (See Fig 7).

(Voir Fig 7). Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, chacune des pattes-contact (PC) solidaire de chacune des bagues mobiles (BGA) (BGE) est soumise à l'action d'un ressort de rappel (RR) pour la ramener en position initiale. Chaque ressort de rappel (RR) est intégré dans un logement creux situé à l'intérieur du corps périphérique de la chambre motrice (CHM1) (CHM2), logement creux dans lequel s'animent le levier basculant (LB) et la patte-contact (PC) sous l'effet du profil d'un rail-came (RC) correspondant. Le levier basculant (LB) est maintenu en appui sur la patte-contact (PC) par un ressort de maintien (RM) en appui des leviers basculants (LB) sur la patte de contact (PC). (Voir Fig 7). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the two successive mobile rings are independent of one another and movable relative to each other inside the bore carrier rings (APB) which receives them, they can move alone or together. One of its two successive mobile rings is of reduced height and placed at the bottom of the bushing bore (APB) towards the bottom of the drive chamber, it is hereinafter referred to as the "intake ring" (BGA ). made mobile inside the bushing bore (APB), by means of integrated tabs integral with each of said "contact tab" (PC), each of said contact tabs (PC) being actuated by a rocking lever (LB), provided at its free end outside the body of the drive chamber (CHM1) CHM2), a rotating roller (GT) held in contact with the "contact tab (PC) by a holding spring ( RM) in support of the tilting levers (LB) and mobilized by an outer rail acting as a cam, hereinafter referred to as "cam rail" (RC). Thus the opening and closing of the intercommunication orifices between the pressure reserve chambers (CHP1) (CHP2), the drive chambers (CHM1) (CHM2) and the exhaust-exhaust chambers (CHE1) (CHE2), are controlled by the profile of the cam rails (RC) outside the body of the driving chamber (CHM1) (CHM2), on which the rotating rollers (GT) of the rocking levers (LB) acting directly on the contact tabs (PC) ) incorporated in the mobile rings (BGA) (BGE), or stretching the retaining springs (RM) of the rocking levers (LB) without mobilizing the rings (BGA) (BGE). (See Fig 7). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the contact tabs (PC) integral with each of the mobile rings (BGA) (BGE) is subjected to the action of a return spring (RR) to bring it back into position. initial position. Each return spring (RR) is integrated in a hollow housing located inside the peripheral body of the driving chamber (CHM1) (CHM2), hollow housing in which the rocking lever (LB) and the contact flap come to life. (PC) under the effect of the profile of a corresponding cam rail (RC). The rocking lever (LB) is held in abutment on the contact tab (PC) by a holding spring (RM) in support of the rocking levers (LB) on the contact tab (PC). (See Fig 7).
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, un canal périphérique dit « canal périphérique de communication » (CPC) issu de chaque chambre de réserve de pression (CHPl) (CHP2) est prévu à l'intérieur de la paroi périphérique de chaque chambre motrice (CHM1) (CHM2) , à l'arrière du plan périphérique de l'alésage porte bagues (APB) et hors des zones de lubrification inter segmentaires. Ce canal de communication(CPC) communique avec l'intérieur de l'alésage porte bagues (APB) et donc avec l'intérieur de la chambre motrice (CHM1) CHM2) au moyen d'une pluralité de petits canaux radiaux, (CR) chacun débouchant par un orifice dit « orifice d'admission ». Ces orifices d'admissions sont tous situés sur une même génératrice et au niveau supérieur de la bague d'admission (BGA) afin d'être découverts simultanément par un déplacement réduit des bagues mobiles. Ce dispositif a pour fonction le transfert rapide des gaz d'admission lorsque le piston femelle (PF) est en fin de course, afin de réaliser par un déplacement réduit une compression optimum garantissant une bonne combustion interne. Chaque orifice d'admission est muni d'un joint d'étanchéité (JO) admettant le glissement du plan périphérique extérieur de la bague d'admission (BGA) (Voir Fig 7). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, a peripheral channel called "peripheral communication channel" (CPC) from each pressure reserve chamber (CHP1) (CHP2) is provided inside the peripheral wall of each drive chamber (CHM1) (CHM2), at the rear of the peripheral plane of the bushing bore (APB) and out of the intersegmental lubrication zones. This communication channel (CPC) communicates with the inside of the bushing bore (APB) and therefore with the interior of the drive chamber (CHM1) CHM2) by means of a plurality of small radial channels, (CR) each opening through an orifice called "inlet orifice". These intake ports are all located on the same generator and the upper level of the intake ring (BGA) to be simultaneously discovered by a reduced displacement of the movable rings. This device has the function of fast transfer of the intake gas when the female piston (PF) is at the end of the stroke, to achieve by a reduced displacement optimum compression ensuring good internal combustion. Each inlet port is provided with a seal (OJ) allowing the sliding of the outer peripheral plane of the intake ring (BGA) (see Fig 7).
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, quatre axes de rotation traversent le piston femelle (PF) et permettent par rotation d'une pièce mécanique de bloquer alternativement les bagues mobiles (BGA) (BGE) pour éviter leurs déplacements par inertie lors de la combustion interne ou les libérer pour admettre ou extraire les gaz (Non représenté). Ces quatre axes fixes qui traversent le piston femelle (PF) permettent la rotation des crochets de retenue (AL) des leviers basculants (LB) afin que les galets (GT) des leviers basculants (LB) n'appuient plus sur les rails-came (RC) pour ne plus ouvrir les communications entre la « chambre de réserve de pression » (CHP1) (CHP2) et la « chambre motrice » (CHM1)(CHM2) et entre la « chambre motrice » (CH M1) (CHM2) et la « chambre d'extraction- échappement » (CHE1)(CHE2). Ainsi le piston femelle sert de frein moteur et récupérateur d'énergie pneumatique en devenant un compresseur à deux étages où l'air est comprimé dans la « chambre d'admission-compression » (CHA1)(CHA2) puis comprimé une nouvelle fois dans la « chambre de réserve de pression » (CHP1)(CHP2), pour être récupéré à très haute pression par le biais de la valve de haute de culasse de la « chambre de réserve de pression » (CHP1)(CHP2) et de la valve de récupération de pression qui oriente l'air comprimé deux fois vers la chambre de mélange de pression en cas de fonctionnement comme moteur pneumatique ou bien vers la réserve de haute pression pneumatique en cas de récupération d'énergie au freinage. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, four axes of rotation pass through the female piston (PF) and allow, by rotation of a mechanical part, to lock alternatively the mobile rings (BGA) (BGE) to prevent their displacement by inertia during internal combustion or release them to admit or extract gases (not shown). These four fixed axes which pass through the female piston (PF) allow the rotation of the retaining hooks (AL) of the rocking levers (LB) so that the rollers (GT) of the rocking levers (LB) no longer support the cam rails (RC) to no longer open communications between the "pressure reserve chamber" (CHP1) (CHP2) and the "drive chamber" (CHM1) (CHM2) and between the "drive chamber" (CH M1) (CHM2) and the "exhaust-exhaust chamber" (CHE1) (CHE2). Thus, the female piston serves as a motor brake and a pneumatic energy recuperator by becoming a two-stage compressor in which the air is compressed in the "intake-compression chamber" (CHA1) (CHA2) and compressed again in the "Pressure reserve chamber" (CHP1) (CHP2), to be recovered at very high pressure through the "CHP1" (CHP2) high pressure cylinder head valve and valve pressure recovery device which directs the compressed air twice towards the pressure mixing chamber when operating as a pneumatic motor or towards the pneumatic high pressure reserve in the case of energy recovery during braking.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la lubrification inter segmentaire des bagues mobiles et des culasses fixes est assurée par le même système formant pompe à huile animée par le mouvement du piston femelle (PF). Le système de lubrification est constitué de deux tubes par chambre motrice (CHM1) (CHM2), solidarisés au châssis (CM) et reliés à un circuit d'alimentation en huile. Chaque tube coulisse à l'intérieur d'un espace cylindrique (EH1) (EH2) empli d'huile situé diamétralement de part et d'autre de la chambre motrice. Chacun de ces espaces cylindriques (EH1) (EH2) communique avec les espaces de lubrification inter segmentaires situés en périphérie de l'espace porte bagues. Chacun des tubes coulissants est muni en extrémité d'une valve à ouverture identique qui s'ouvre et se ferme alternativement de telle manière que lorsqu'un tube pénètre dans l'espace cylindrique empli d'huile (EH1) (EH2) , sa valve est fermée afin qu'il agisse comme un piston alors que simultanément, le tube diamétralement opposé qui sort de l'espace cylindrique empli d'huile lui est ouvert pour permettre l'évacuation du lubrifiant. Cette association de tubes avec les mouvements du piston femelle (PF) agit comme une pompe à huile par pénétration alimentant la lubrification automatique des espaces inter segmentaires des bagues mobiles et des culasses du piston femelle de l'invention (PF). Les espaces inter segmentaires (IS) de chacune des culasses communiquent entre eux de manière à ce que le dispositif de lubrification puisse alimenté l'ensemble des espaces inter segmentaires (IS) de l'ensemble des culasses du piston femelle (PF). (Voir Fig 6). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the inter-segmental lubrication of the mobile rings and fixed yokes is provided by the same oil pump system driven by the movement of the female piston (PF). The lubrication system consists of two tubes per driving chamber (CHM1) (CHM2), secured to the chassis (CM) and connected to an oil supply circuit. Each tube slides inside a cylindrical space (EH1) (EH2) filled with oil located diametrically on either side of the drive chamber. Each of these cylindrical spaces (EH1) (EH2) communicates with the intersegmental lubrication spaces located at the periphery of the bushing space. Each of the sliding tubes is provided at the end with an identical opening valve which opens and closes alternately in such a way that when a tube enters the cylindrical space filled with oil (EH1) (EH2), its valve is closed so that it acts as a piston while simultaneously, the diametrically opposite tube coming out of the cylindrical space filled with oil is open to allow the escape of the lubricant. This association of tubes with the movements of the female piston (PF) acts as a penetration oil pump supplying the automatic lubrication of intersegmental spaces of the movable rings and yokes of the female piston of the invention (PF). The inter-segment spaces (IS) of each of the yokes communicate with each other so that the lubrication device can feed all the inter-segment spaces (IS) of the set of the yokes of the female piston (PF). (See Fig 6).

(Voir Fig 5). According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the female piston (PF) is driven by a connecting rod (BL) associated on the one hand in the middle of the double median plane (DPM) separating the female piston (PF) in two equal parts and on the other hand to a crankshaft (VB) rotated in an axis perpendicular to the axis of movement of the female piston (PF). (See Fig 5).
Selon un autre mode de fabrication de l'invention, le piston femelle (PF) est animé préférablement par deux bielles associées (BL) d'une part au corps du piston femelle (PF) et d'autre part à un vilebrequin (VB) disposé en regard d'un ou l'autre des plans d'extrémité du piston femelle (PF), de telle manière que le vilebrequin (VB) anime simultanément deux piston femelle (PF) placés de part et d'autre de son lieu de rotation. According to another embodiment of the invention, the female piston (PF) is preferably animated by two associated connecting rods (BL) on the one hand to the female piston body (PF) and on the other hand to a crankshaft (VB). disposed opposite one or other of the end planes of the female piston (PF), so that the crankshaft (VB) simultaneously animates two female piston (PF) placed on either side of its location. rotation.

(Voir Fig 3, 4, 5). According to the embodiment of the invention, the female piston (PF) is provided at at least one location with at least two generatrices of its outer peripheral plane, rotating rollers (GG) flowing on a fixed plane (RG) of the motor chassis (CM), so as to accompany and guide its movements inside said motor chassis (CM). (See Fig 3, 4, 5).
