The invention relates to a
hypocycloid mechanism comprising: a shaft (4); a gearwheel (7) rotatable about its center and coupled to the shaft (4); a
pinion (8) parallel to the gearwheel (7), the
pinion being rotatably mounted on an axle eccentrically passing through the gearwheel (7); a cylinder (1) having a
piston (2); a connecting rod (3), one side of which is connected to the
piston (2) and the other side of which is rotatably connected to the
pinion (8), such that the rotation of the gearwheel (7) and the pinion (8) is associated with the reciprocating movement of the
piston (2); at least one bearing-supported stationary part (6) in which the gearwheel (7) is rotatably mounted. The present invention is characterized in that: a fixed member (6) is an annular member provided with teeth on the inner side, and a pinion gear (8) provided with teeth on the outer side and meshing with internal teeth (6 ') of the fixed member (6); the gearwheel (7) is provided with teeth on the outside and is rotatably mounted in the stationary part (6) by means of a bearing (6 '') such that the teeth (6 ') of the stationary part (6) extend over a portion of the thickness of the stationary part, and the stationary part further comprises a toothless surface extending over a portion of the thickness of the stationary part and having a bearing support (6''), a gearwheel (7) having a toothless surface complementary to the bearing (6 '') of the stationary part, the gearwheel (7) being coupled by its teeth (7'') to the shaft (4); the connecting rod (3) has two arms (3a, 3b) extending on both sides of the gear
assembly (7, 8) wherein a first arm (3a) is connected to the pinion (8) at a first pivot point (O) on one side of the gear
assembly (7, 8) and a second arm (3b) is connected to the pinion (8) at a second pivot point (O) on one side of the gear
assembly (7, 8). And the second arm (3b) is connected to the pinion (8) at a second pivot point (O ') on the other side of the gear assembly (7, 8) wherein the
orthographic projection of the first point (O) on the plane of the gearwheel (7) and the
orthographic projection of the second point (O') on the same plane of the gearwheel (7) are always equal. The invention also relates to an engine and a compressor comprising such a mechanism.
