Balanced Rotary Engine

Abstract

The invention relates to a balanced rotary engine consisting of a rotary engine comprising tangential pistons which improve engine performance, facilitate the lubrication of the engine components, enable the use thereof at high revolutions and condition same for two-stroke operation with full use of the combustion chamber, even with mixtures (diesel cycle) which explode spontaneously upon reaching high compressions with a suitable volume. According to the invention, the components are structured such that (i) the engine can also be self-powered and (ii) the air or mixture is drawn directly from the rear of the cylinder and, subsequently, injected into the combustion chamber of said cylinder or of the cylinder adjacent thereto.

II. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present specification relates to a balanced rotary engine consisting of a rotary engine comprising tangential pistons which improve engine performance, facilitate the lubrication of the engine components, and enable the use thereof at high revolutions. The components are structured such that the engine can also be self-powered and the air or mixture is drawn directly from the rear of the cylinder and, subsequently, injected into the combustion chamber of said cylinder or of the cylinder adjacent thereto, and they condition same for two-stroke operation with full use of the combustion chamber, even with mixtures (diesel cycle) which explode spontaneously upon reaching high compressions with a suitable volume.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] In the present invention, the pistons of each cylinder are coupled to a gudgeon of the crankshaft that is shifted the same number of degrees as the pistons and the chamber containing the inner elements is divided into several sealed compartments, a central compartment housing the crankshaft and the grooved part of the pivoted lever, and another outer chamber for each cylinder, with the piston, connecting rod and outer part of the pivoted lever separated by the rotating shaft thereof. This arrangement allows the individual powering of each cylinder subsequently facilitating the possible use thereof for two-stroke operations with a self-powering possibility.

[0011] The rotation of the block further favors the dissipation of heat generated during combustion.

Problems solved by technology

Two-stroke engines developed until now consist of the use of nozzles for the intake of the burning agent-fuel, which are made in the cylinder, which considerably reduces the effective chamber, the mixture inlet time, scavenging and compression of the engine, therefore it loses effectiveness and is not suitable for the use of mixtures which explode spontaneously.

Likewise, rotary engines consisting of tangential pistons currently under development have the opposing pistons coupled to the same gudgeon or journal of the crankshaft by means of which movement of the internal elements (pistons, connecting rods and pivoted lever) is not symmetrical during the rotation of the assembly, causing vibration-generating loads.

In the same way, these are housed in a single chamber, making their lubrication difficult when the agent used for this purpose moves to the outside thereof driven by centrifugal force.
