Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of internal combustion engines, and more specifically, relates to a rotor internal combustion engine, a vehicle, an aircraft and a ship. Background Art
[0002] The most common internal combustion engine is the reciprocating piston type, which mixes fuel and air and burns them in the cylinder. The heat released generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the cylinder. The gas expands and pushes the piston to do work, and then outputs mechanical energy through a crank-connecting rod mechanism or other mechanisms to drive the driven machine to work. However, since the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine needs to use a crank-connecting rod mechanism to convert the piston pressure into torque, it has the problem of low output torque and low energy conversion efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a rotor internal combustion engine to solve the technical problems of small output torque and low energy conversion efficiency of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a rotor internal combustion engine, including at least one power unit, wherein the power unit includes a stator ring, a rotor, a piston and a main cam mechanism.
[0005] At least one circulation group is provided on the inner circumference of the stator ring, and each of the circulation groups includes an air intake groove, an air sealing area and a working groove arranged in sequence in the positive direction on the inner circumference of the stator ring. The air intake groove is provided with an air inlet, and an exhaust port is provided at the positive end of the working groove, and an ignition assembly is provided in the reverse end. The rotor is arranged in the stator ring for positive rotation, and the outer circumference is slidably sealed with the inner circumference of the stator ring, and a piston cavity arranged in the radial direction is provided. The outer end opening of the piston cavity is used to dock with the air intake groove, the air sealing area and the working groove in sequence during the rotation of the rotor. The piston is slidably arranged in the piston cavity, and the top surface of the piston is used to surround the inner wall of the piston cavity to form a compression chamber. The main cam mechanism includes a main cam arranged on the stator ring and a main follower connected to the piston and rotating with the rotor, which is used to drive the piston during the rotation of the rotor, so that the piston can successively suck the gas in the intake groove into the compression chamber, cooperate with the gas seal area to compress the gas in the compression chamber, insert into the working groove to divide the working groove into a combustion chamber containing the ignition component and a sliding chamber for the piston to slide forward and communicate with the exhaust port, and withdraw from the working groove. The piston is also provided with a gas storage structure for accommodating the compressed gas in the compression chamber and releasing the compressed gas into the combustion chamber.
[0006] Furthermore, the stator ring is provided with a partition plate for closing the end surface of the inner cavity of the stator ring; the rotor internal combustion engine comprises at least two power units, the partition plates of two adjacent power units are arranged opposite to each other and an oil filling gap is formed in the middle, and the partition plate is provided with a lubricating oil hole connecting the oil filling gap and the inner cavity of the stator ring.
[0007] When in use, the fuel and air mixture is passed into the intake groove from the intake port, and the rotor rotates forward in the stator ring. When the outer end opening of the piston cavity on the rotor docks with the intake groove, the main cam mechanism drives the piston to suck the mixed gas in the intake groove into the compression chamber; as the rotor continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston cavity docks with the air seal area, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston to cooperate with the air seal area to compress the mixed gas in the compression chamber. In this process, the gas storage structure accommodates the compressed mixed gas in the compression chamber; then the rotor continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston cavity docks with the working groove, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston to insert into the working groove to separate the working groove into a combustion chamber and a sliding chamber. At this time, the gas storage structure releases the compressed mixed gas into the combustion chamber, and then the mixed gas in the combustion chamber is ignited by the ignition component. The impact generated by the combustion of the mixed gas acts on the reverse side of the piston, pushing the piston to rotate forward along the sliding chamber, thereby driving the rotor to rotate forward to complete a cycle. In the process of the piston sliding along the working groove, the piston can just push the residual combustion exhaust gas in the previous cycle in the working groove to be discharged from the exhaust port. After that, the rotor continues to rotate, and the outer end opening of the piston cavity docks with the air inlet groove again, starting the next cycle.
[0008] In the rotor internal combustion engine of the embodiment of the present invention, the impact force generated by the combustion of compressed gas directly acts on the opposite side of the piston to drive the rotor to rotate, eliminating the conversion of the crank-connecting rod mechanism, generating a greater torque on the rotor and achieving a higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0009] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the above-mentioned rotary internal combustion engine. The beneficial effects of the vehicle provided by the present invention are the same as the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned rotary internal combustion engine, which will not be repeated here.
[0010] The present invention also provides an aircraft including the above-mentioned rotor internal combustion engine. The beneficial effects of the aircraft provided by the present invention are the same as the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned rotor internal combustion engine, which will not be repeated here.
[0011] The present invention also provides a ship comprising the above-mentioned rotor internal combustion engine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0036] Please also read Figures 1 to 20 The rotor internal combustion engine provided by the embodiment of the present invention is now described. The rotor internal combustion engine includes at least one power unit. Each power unit includes a stator ring 1, a rotor 2, a piston 3 and a main cam mechanism.
[0037] The two directions on the circumference of the stator ring 1 are respectively forward and reverse, and at least one circulation group is arranged on the inner circumference. Each circulation group includes an air intake groove 11, an air sealing area 12 and a working groove 13 arranged in sequence along the forward direction on the inner circumference of the stator ring 1. The air intake groove 11 is provided with an air inlet 111, and the forward end of the working groove 13 is provided with an exhaust port 132, and the reverse end is provided with an ignition component 131.
[0038] The rotor 2 is arranged in the stator ring 1 for positive rotation, and the outer circumference is slidingly sealed with the inner circumference of the stator ring 1. A piston cavity 21 is arranged radially, and the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 is used to connect with the air inlet groove 11, the air sealing area 12 and the working groove 13 in sequence during the rotation of the rotor 2.
[0039] The piston 3 is slidably disposed in the piston cavity 21 , and the top surface is used to surround the inner wall of the piston cavity 21 to form a compression chamber 22 .
[0040] The main cam mechanism includes a main cam 6 arranged on the stator ring 1 and a main follower 62 connected to the piston 3 and rotating with the rotor 2. The main follower 62 and the main cam 6 form a cam mechanism for driving the piston 3 during the rotation of the rotor 2, so that the piston 3 can successively suck the gas in the intake groove 11 into the compression chamber 22, cooperate with the gas sealing area 12 to compress the gas in the compression chamber 22, insert into the working groove 13 to divide the working groove 13 into a combustion chamber 134 accommodating the ignition component 131 and a sliding chamber 135 for the piston 3 to slide forward and connected with the exhaust port 132, and withdraw from the working groove 13.
[0041] The piston 3 is also provided with a gas storage structure with an inlet located on the top surface of the piston 3 and an outlet located on the opposite side of the piston 3. The gas storage structure is used to accommodate the compressed gas in the compression chamber 22 and release the compressed gas into the combustion chamber 134.
[0042] When in use, the mixed gas of fuel and air is passed into the intake groove 11 from the intake port 111, and the rotor 2 rotates forward in the stator ring 1. When the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 on the rotor 2 docks with the intake groove 11, the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to suck the mixed gas in the intake groove 11 into the compression chamber 22; as the rotor 2 continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 docks with the air sealing area 12, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to cooperate with the air sealing area 12 to compress the mixed gas in the compression chamber 22. In this process, the gas storage structure accommodates the compressed mixed gas in the compression chamber 22. The rotor 2 then continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 docks with the working groove 13, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to insert into the working groove 13 to separate the working groove 13 into a combustion chamber 134 and a sliding chamber 135. At this time, the gas storage structure releases the compressed mixed gas into the combustion chamber 134, and then the mixed gas in the combustion chamber 134 is ignited by the ignition component 131. The impact generated by the combustion of the mixed gas acts on the reverse side of the piston 3, pushing the piston 3 to rotate forward along the sliding chamber 135, thereby driving the rotor 2 to rotate forward and complete a cycle. In the process of the piston 3 sliding along the working groove 13, the piston 3 can just push the residual combustion exhaust gas from the previous cycle in the working groove 13 to be discharged from the exhaust port 132. After that, the rotor 2 continues to rotate, and the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 docks with the intake groove 11 again, starting the next cycle.
[0043] In the rotor internal combustion engine of the embodiment of the present invention, the impact force generated by the combustion of compressed gas directly acts on the opposite side of the piston 3 to drive the rotor 2 to rotate, eliminating the conversion of the crank-connecting rod mechanism, generating a greater torque on the rotor 2 and achieving a higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0044] The specific implementation of the relevant components in the rotary internal combustion engine is given below.

The portion of the inner circumference of the stator ring 1 between the air inlet groove 11 and the working groove 13 forms an air seal area 12, which is used to seal the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21. The working groove 13 is provided with an exhaust port 132 at one positive end and an ignition assembly 131 at one negative end. The working groove 13 is used to be inserted by the piston 3 in the piston chamber 21 and is divided by the piston 3 into a combustion chamber 134 accommodating the ignition assembly 131 and a sliding chamber 135 for the piston 3 to slide forward and communicate with the exhaust port 132.

The forward end of the working groove 13 forms a sliding chamber 135 for the piston 3 to slide in the forward direction in the working groove 13. The end surface of the reverse end of the working groove 13 is an arc surface, so that the piston 3 can be gradually inserted into the working groove 13 along the arc surface, and a groove is provided on the end surface of the reverse end of the working groove 13. The ignition assembly 131 can be a spark plug installed in the groove. The end surface of the forward end of the working groove 13 is provided with an exhaust port 132 connected to the outside of the stator ring 1 for exhausting the combustion exhaust gas.
[0050] The gas sealing area 12 is the area on the inner circumference of the stator ring 1 between the air inlet groove 11 and the working groove 13, which is used to keep the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 closed, so that when the piston 3 slides toward the gas sealing area 12 in the piston chamber 21, it can compress the mixed gas in the compression chamber 22.

More specifically, the fitting slope 32 is a convex arc-shaped curved surface, and the wall surface of the opposite end of the working groove 13 is a concave arc-shaped curved surface.

[0075] When in use, multiple sealing segments 81 are surrounded in the groove of the piston 3 and spliced into a piston ring 8. The sealing segments 81 are stretched radially outward by the elastic component, so that each sealing segment 81 is pressed against the inner wall of the piston cavity 21 to form a seal. The two adjacent sealing segments 81 are inserted into the axial limiting slot 83 through the axial limiting plug 82, so that the two adjacent sealing segments 81 are relatively fixed in the axial direction to avoid leakage caused by axial misalignment. The radial limiting plug 84 is inserted into the radial limiting slot 85, so that the two adjacent sealing segments 81 are relatively fixed in the radial direction. The pressure of the elastic component of the two adjacent sealing segments 81 will be transmitted to the two adjacent sealing segments 81, so that the pressure of the two adjacent sealing segments 81 on the inner wall of the piston cavity 21 is more even, and the sealing between the outer periphery of the piston 3 and the piston cavity 21 is more uniform.
[0076] Please also read Fig.18 As a specific embodiment of the piston ring 8 of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the sealing segment 81 is in an angled shape.

More specifically, the thickness of the radial limit plug 84 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8 is the same as the thickness of the axial limit plug 82 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8, and the two side surfaces of the radial limit plug 84 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8 and the two side surfaces of the axial limit plug 82 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8 are respectively coplanar. The thickness of the radial limit slot 85 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8 is the same as the thickness of the axial limit slot 83 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8, and the two inner wall surfaces of the radial limit slot 85 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8 and the two inner wall surfaces of the axial limit slot 83 in the axial direction of the piston ring 8 are respectively coplanar.
[0078] See also Fig.19 As a specific embodiment of the piston ring 8 of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, in the radial direction of the piston ring 8, the width of the axial limit plug 82 is greater than the width of the radial limit plug 84.

[0081] See also Fig.18 As a specific embodiment of the piston ring 8 of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, a groove 811 is provided on the radial inner side of the sealing section 81, and the two ends of the elastic strip 86 are embedded in the groove 811 and the middle part is deformed and convex inwardly in the radial direction. The groove 811 is a long groove arranged along the circumference of the radial inner side of the sealing section 81. The elastic strip 86 can be a long steel strip. The length of the elastic strip 86 is greater than the length of the groove 811. The two ends of the elastic strip 86 are embedded in the two ends of the groove 811, so that the middle part of the elastic strip 86 is deformed and convex inwardly in the radial direction. After the sealing section 81 is installed on the piston 3, the middle part of the elastic strip 86 abuts against the piston 3, thereby expanding the sealing section 81 radially outward.
[0082] Gas storage structure
[0083] The gas storage structure is arranged on the piston 3, and specifically can adopt any one of the following two implementations, and of course other implementations can also be adopted.
[0084] (I) Please also refer to Figure 12 to Figure 14 As a specific embodiment of the piston 3 of the rotary internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the gas storage structure includes an air storage cavity 41, a ventilation groove 42 and an opening and closing component.
[0085] The air chamber 41 is provided on the piston 3. The ventilation groove 42 is provided on the piston 3, and the ventilation groove 42 is provided with an opening on the top surface of the piston 3 to form an inlet, and the ventilation groove 42 is provided with an opening on the opposite side of the piston 3 to form an outlet. The opening and closing assembly is provided on the piston 3, and is used to block or connect the air chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42. The use of this form of air storage structure can prevent the compressed gas in the air chamber 41 from leaking out, and reduce the sealing requirements for the piston 3, the rotor 2 and the stator ring 1. More specifically, the air chamber 41 is located inside the piston 3; the ventilation groove 42 is provided on the opposite side of the piston 3, and extends all the way to the fitting slope 32, forming an opening on the fitting slope 32.
[0086] The rotor 2 rotates forward in the stator ring 1. When the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 on the rotor 2 is connected with the air intake groove 11, the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to suck the mixed gas in the air intake groove 11 into the compression chamber 22; as the rotor 2 continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 on the rotor 2 is connected with the air sealing area 12, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to cooperate with the air sealing area 12 to compress the mixed gas in the compression chamber 22. In this process, the opening and closing component connects the air accommodating cavity 41 and the ventilation groove 42. The opening of the ventilation groove 42 on the opposite side of the piston 3 is closed by the inner wall of the piston cavity 21, and the opening on the top surface of the piston 3 is connected with the compression chamber 22, so that the compressed mixed gas in the compression chamber 22 is compressed by the ventilation groove 42 on the top surface of the piston 3. The opening of the air exchange groove 42 enters the air chamber 41 through the air exchange groove 42; when the compression is completed, the opening and closing assembly blocks the air chamber 41 and the air exchange groove 42, so that the compressed mixed gas is stored in the air chamber 41; then the rotor 2 continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 on the rotor 2 docks with the working groove 13, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to insert into the working groove 13 to separate the working groove 13 into a combustion chamber 134 and a sliding chamber 135. At this time, the opening of the air exchange groove 42 on the top surface of the piston 3 is closed by the bottom surface of the working groove 13, and the opening of the air exchange groove 42 on the opposite side of the piston 3 is connected with the combustion chamber 134. At this time, the opening and closing assembly connects the air chamber 41 and the air exchange groove 42, so that the air chamber 41 releases the mixed gas into the combustion chamber 134. More specifically, the driving method of the opening and closing assembly can adopt the driving method in the following embodiment, or other driving methods.
[0087] See also Fig.13 As a specific embodiment of the piston 3 of the rotary internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the opening and closing assembly includes a ventilation hole 43, a sealing plate 44 and a pry rod 45.
[0088] The ventilation hole 43 is provided on the piston 3 and communicates between the ventilation groove 42 and the air chamber 41. The sealing plate 44 is slidably provided on the piston 3 and is used to cut into the ventilation hole 43 to block the ventilation hole 43. The pry bar 45 is rotatably provided on the piston 3, and one end abuts against the sealing plate 44, and is used to push the sealing plate 44 out of the ventilation hole 43 when the other end is subjected to force.
[0089] The air chamber 41 is located inside the piston 3. The ventilation groove 42 is arranged on the reverse side of the piston 3 and extends all the way to the top surface, forming an opening on the top surface. The piston 3 is provided with a sliding chamber 135 located between the air chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42, and the ventilation hole 43 is a hole opened on the bottom of the ventilation groove 42, and the ventilation hole 43 passes through the sliding chamber 135 and is connected with the air chamber 41. The sealing plate 44 is slidably arranged in the sliding chamber 135, so that it can cut into the ventilation hole 43 or withdraw from the ventilation hole 43 under the push of the closing follower 471. More specifically, the sliding direction of the sealing plate 44 is parallel to the sliding direction of the piston 3, which is convenient for closing the follower 471 and opening the follower 461.
[0090] The pry bar 45 is also disposed in the sliding chamber 135 on the piston 3, and is located on the side of the sealing plate 44 away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2. The opening follower 461 and the closing follower 471 have the same pushing direction. One end of the pry bar 45 abuts against the sealing plate 44, and the other end is used to abut against the opening follower 461, so as to push the sealing plate 44 out of the ventilation hole 43 under the push of the opening follower 461.
[0091] By rotating the pry bar 45, the opening follower 461 is realized to push the sealing plate 44 out of the ventilation hole 43 through the pry bar 45. The specific forms of the opening follower 461 and the closing follower 471 can refer to the following embodiments.
[0092] Please also read Figures 12 to 17 As a specific embodiment of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, when the above-mentioned gas storage structure is adopted, the power unit also includes an opening and closing drive mechanism, and the opening and closing drive mechanism includes an opening cam mechanism and a closing cam mechanism.
[0093] The opening cam mechanism includes an opening cam 46 arranged on the stator ring 1 and an opening follower 461 connected to the opening and closing assembly and rotating with the rotor 2, which is used to drive the opening and closing assembly to connect the air containing chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 when the piston 3 compresses the gas in the piston chamber 21 or when the piston 3 is inserted into the working groove 13.
[0094] The closing cam mechanism includes a closing cam 47 arranged on the stator ring 1 and a closing follower 471 connected to the opening and closing assembly and rotating with the rotor 2, which is used to drive the opening and closing assembly to block the air containing chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 after the piston 3 completes the compression of the gas in the piston chamber 21 and before the piston 3 is inserted into the working groove 13.
[0095] More specifically, the opening cam 46 and the closing cam 47 may be located in the accommodating cavity of the rotor 2, and the two may be coaxially fixed on the partition 14 of the stator ring 1. The opening follower 461 is a long straight rod, one end of which is inserted into the piston 3 and abuts against the pry bar 45, and the other end abuts against the contour of the opening cam 46. The opening follower 461 rotates with the rotor 2, and the ups and downs of the rim of the opening cam 46 are used to drive the opening follower 461 to push the pry bar 45, so that the pry bar 45 pushes the sealing plate 44 out of the ventilation hole 43. The closing follower 471 is also a long straight rod, one end of which is inserted into the piston 3 and abuts against the sealing plate 44, and the other end abuts against the contour of the closing cam 47. The opening follower 461 rotates with the rotor 2, and the ups and downs of the rim of the closing cam 47 are used to drive the opening follower 461 to push the sealing plate 44 into the ventilation hole 43.
[0096] Please also read Fig.12 and Fig.13 As a specific embodiment of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, a guide seat 27 is further provided on the rotor 2, and an opening guide hole 272 is provided on the guide seat 27 for slidingly passing through the opening follower 461. This arrangement enables the opening follower 461 to pass through the opening guide hole 272 and rotate with the rotor 2, thereby improving the movement stability of the opening follower 461 and reducing the shaking of the opening follower 461.
[0097] Please also read Fig.12 and Fig.13 As a specific embodiment of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, a closing guide hole 273 for slidingly penetrating the closing follower 471 is provided on the guide seat 27. This arrangement enables the closing follower 471 to be inserted into the closing guide hole 273 and rotate with the rotor 2, thereby improving the movement stability of the closing follower 471 and reducing the shaking of the closing follower 471. More specifically, the guide seat 27 can be located in the accommodating cavity of the rotor 2 or in the inner end of the piston cavity 21.
[0098] See also Fig.16 As a specific embodiment of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the profile of the opening cam 46 includes a compression opening section 462 and a power opening section 463.
[0099] The compression opening section 462 is used to push the opening follower 461 away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 to drive the opening and closing assembly to connect the air-containing chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 after the rotor 2 rotates to the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 and docks with the gas sealing area 12 of the stator ring 1. Thereby, the gas in the compression chamber 22 can enter the air-containing chamber 41 through the ventilation groove 42 in the compression chamber 22. The working opening section 463 is used to push the opening follower 461 away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 to drive the opening and closing assembly to connect the air-containing chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 after the rotor 2 rotates to the piston 3 inserts into the working groove 13. Thereby, the compressed gas in the air-containing chamber 41 is released into the combustion chamber 134.
[0100] See also Fig.17 As a specific embodiment of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the profile of the closing cam mechanism includes a compression closing section 472. In the positive direction, the compression closing section 472 is bent away from the axis of the main cam 6, the front end of the compression closing section 472 coincides with the rear end of the insertion section 613 or is located behind the rear end of the insertion section 613, and the rear end of the compression closing section 472 coincides with the front end of the compression section 612 or is located before the front end of the compression section 612. The compression closing section 472 is used to push the closing follower 471 away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 to drive the opening and closing assembly to block the air accommodating chamber 41 and the air exchange groove 42 after the rotor 2 rotates to accommodate the compressed gas in the air accommodating chamber 41 and before the piston 3 is inserted into the working groove 13.
[0101] More specifically, after the rotor 2 rotates until the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 is connected to the gas sealing area 12 of the stator ring 1, the compression opening section 462 drives the opening and closing assembly to connect the air chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 by opening the follower 461, so that when the piston 3 cooperates with the gas sealing area 12 to compress the mixed gas, the compressed mixed gas can be received into the air chamber 41 through the opening of the ventilation groove 42 on the top surface of the piston 3 through the ventilation groove 42. Then, the compression closing section 472 drives the opening and closing assembly to block the air chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 by closing the follower 471, and the compressed mixed gas is sealed in the air chamber 41. When the rotor 2 rotates until the top end of the piston 3 is inserted into the working groove 13, the working opening section 463 drives the opening and closing assembly to connect the air chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42 by opening the follower 461, so that the compressed gas in the air chamber 41 can pass through the ventilation groove 42 and be released into the combustion chamber 134 from the opening of the ventilation groove 42 on the opposite side.
[0102] On the premise of ensuring that the closing cam mechanism can realize its function, the contours of the other parts of the opening cam 46 except the compression opening section 462 and the working opening section 463 can be set to keep the opening follower 461 pushing the pry bar 45 of the opening and closing assembly, so that the sealing plate 44 is outside the ventilation hole 43, so that during the rotation of the rotor 2, when the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 is docked with the air inlet groove 11 of the stator ring 1 and other parts of the inner circumference of the stator ring 1, the opening and closing assembly connects the air chamber 41 and the ventilation groove 42, and can also prevent the sealing plate 44 from sliding randomly during the rotation of the rotor 2. In this case, the contours of the other parts of the closing cam 47 except the compression closing section 472 can be set to maintain sliding contact with the closing follower 471 to prevent the closing follower 471 from sliding randomly during the rotation of the rotor 2.
[0103] (II) Please also refer to Figures 3 to 8 As a specific embodiment of the piston 3 of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the top surface of the piston 3 includes a main area 31 and a fitting slope 32 located on the opposite side of the main area 31, and the fitting slope 32 is curved in the direction opposite to the main area 31. The gas storage structure includes an open groove 58 provided on the piston 3; the open groove 58 is provided with an opening on the opposite side of the piston 3, and the opening of the open groove 58 on the opposite side of the piston 3 forms an outlet, and the opening of the open groove 58 extends from the opposite side of the piston 3 to the fitting slope 32 of the piston 3 and forms an inlet on the fitting slope 32. More specifically, the main area 31 on the top surface of the piston 3 is opposite to the bottom surface of the working groove 13. The fitting slope 32 coincides with the wall surface of the opposite end of the working groove 13 of the stator ring 1.
[0104] When the rotor 2 rotates forward in the stator ring 1, when the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 on the rotor 2 docks with the air inlet groove 11, the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to suck the mixed gas in the air inlet groove 11 and suck the mixed gas into the compression chamber 22; as the rotor 2 continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston cavity 21 on the rotor 2 docks with the air sealing area 12, and the main cam mechanism drives the piston 3 to cooperate with the air sealing area 12 to compress the mixed gas in the compression chamber 22. In this process, the compressed mixed gas enters the open groove 58 from the part of the opening of the open groove 58 located on the fitting slope 32. When the compression is completed, the piston 3 is retracted into the piston cavity 21, and the inner wall surface of the stator ring 1 and the inner wall of the piston cavity 21 form a sealed chamber with the fitting slope 32 to ensure that the open groove 5 8 is sealed, so that the compressed mixed gas is contained in the open groove 58; then the rotor 2 continues to rotate, the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 on the rotor 2 is connected with the working groove 13, and the piston 3 is pushed by the main follower 62 of the main cam mechanism, and the piston 3 slides along the wall surface of the opposite end of the working groove 13 and gradually inserts into the working groove 13. In this process, the fitting slope 32 fits with the wall surface of the opposite end of the working groove 13, so that the wall surface of the opposite end of the working groove 13 closes the part of the opening of the open groove 58 located on the fitting slope 32, and after the piston 3 extends out of the piston chamber 21 and inserts into the working groove 13, the part of the opening of the open groove 58 located on the opposite side of the piston 3 is opened, and the mixed gas in the open groove 58 is released into the combustion chamber 134. When the rotor 2 rotates until the top surface of the piston 3 fits and seals with the bottom surface of the working groove 13, the opening of the open groove 58 is completely opened. In addition, the sliding fit between the fitting slope 32 and the wall surface of the opposite end of the working groove 13 can also reduce the wear on the opposite side of the piston 3 and reduce the resistance.
[0105] Main cam mechanism
[0106] Please also read Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 as well as Fig.15 As a specific embodiment of the main cam mechanism of the rotary internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the main cam mechanism includes a main follower 62 and a main cam 6.
[0107] The air intake section 611 is used to push the piston 3 to slide close to the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master and slave members 62 after the rotor 2 rotates to the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 and docks with the air intake groove 11 of the stator ring 1, so that the piston 3 sucks the gas in the air intake groove 11 into the compression chamber 22. The compression section 612 is used to push the piston 3 to slide away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master and slave members 62 after the rotor 2 rotates to the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 and docks with the gas sealing area 12 of the stator ring 1, so that the piston 3 compresses the gas in the compression chamber 22. The insertion section 613 is used to push the piston 3 to slide away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master and slave members 62 after the rotor 2 rotates to the outer end opening of the piston chamber 21 and docks with the working groove 13 of the stator ring 1, so that the piston 3 is inserted into the working groove 13 and divides the working groove 13 into a combustion chamber 134 and a sliding chamber 135. The recovery section 615 is used to push the piston 3 to slide close to the rotor 2 shaft through the master-slave member 62 before the rotor 2 rotates to the point where the piston 3 collides with the inner wall of the positive end of the working groove 13, so that the top end of the piston 3 is retracted into the piston cavity 21.
[0108] The main follower 62 is used to slide on the rotor 2 and rotate with the rotor 2. One end is used to connect with the piston 3, and the other end is provided with a cam roller. The main cam 6 is used to connect to the stator ring 1, and is provided with an annular cam groove 61 for accommodating the cam roller. In the positive direction, the cam groove 61 includes an intake section 611, a compression section 612, an insertion section 613 and a recovery section 615 connected in sequence. In the positive direction, the intake section 611 is bent toward the axis of the main cam 6, the compression section 612 is bent away from the axis of the main cam 6, the insertion section 613 is bent away from the axis of the main cam 6, and the recovery section 615 is bent toward the axis of the main cam 6.
[0109] More specifically, the main cam 6 is located in the accommodating cavity of the rotor 2, and may be fixed on the partition 14 of the stator ring 1. The air intake section 611, the compression section 612, the insertion section 613 and the recovery section 615 are smoothly connected in sequence to form a ring. The main follower 62 may be a long straight rod, one end of which is fixed to the piston 3, and the other end passes through the inner end of the piston cavity 21 and forms a cam fit with the main cam 6 through a cam roller. The main follower 62 is driven by the rotor 2 to rotate relative to the main cam 6, so that the main follower 62 drives the piston 3 to move in the piston cavity 21 under the push of the air intake section 611, the compression section 612, the insertion section 613 and the recovery section 615. The surface of the cam roller and the inner wall of the cam groove 61 are provided with teeth that mesh with each other to prevent the cam roller and the main cam 6 from slipping.
[0110] The intake section 611 is an arc-shaped groove that gradually approaches the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 in the positive direction. The groove wall of the outer ring of the intake section 611 pulls the piston 3 in the direction close to the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master and slave 62, so that the piston 3 sucks the mixed gas in the intake groove 11 into the compression chamber 22. The compression section 612 is an arc-shaped groove that gradually moves away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 in the positive direction. The groove wall of the inner ring of the intake section 611 pushes the piston 3 in the direction away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master and slave 62, so that the piston 3 compresses the mixed gas in the compression chamber 22. The insertion section 613 is an arc-shaped groove that gradually moves away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 in the positive direction. The groove wall of the inner ring of the insertion section 613 pushes the piston 3 in the direction away from the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master and slave 62, so that the piston 3 is inserted into the working groove 13 until the top surface of the piston 3 fits with the bottom surface of the groove of the working groove 13. The recovery section 615 is an arc-shaped groove that gradually approaches the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 in the positive direction. The groove wall of the outer ring of the recovery section 615 pulls the piston 3 in the direction close to the rotating shaft of the rotor 2 through the master-slave member 62, so that the top end of the piston 3 is retracted into the piston cavity 21, avoiding the top end of the piston 3 from colliding with the inner wall of the positive end of the working groove 13.
[0111] See also Fig.13 As a specific embodiment of the main cam mechanism of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the main cam 6 has two, and the sides of the two main cams 6 provided with the cam groove 61 are arranged opposite to each other and a movable gap is formed in the middle for accommodating the main follower 62. The two main cams 6 are arranged in a mirror image, and a movable gap is formed in the middle at a certain distance. Two coaxial cam rollers are provided on both sides of one end of the main follower 62, and the main follower 62 is inserted into the movable gap. The two cam rollers are respectively embedded in the cam grooves 61 of the two main cams 6 to prevent the main follower 62 from separating from the main cam 6.
[0112] Please also read Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 as well as Fig.15 As a specific embodiment of the main cam mechanism of the rotor internal combustion engine provided by the invention, the cam groove 61 also includes a work holding section 614 connected between the insertion section 613 and the recovery section 615. The work holding section 614 is in an arc shape concentric with the main cam 6. The work holding section 614 is used to keep the piston 3 stationary relative to the piston chamber 21 through the main follower 62 after the rotor 2 rotates until the piston 3 is inserted into the work groove 13.
[0113] More specifically, the work-maintaining section 614 is used to keep the piston 3 stationary relative to the piston chamber 21 through the master-slave member 62 after the rotor 2 rotates until the top surface of the piston 3 fits with the bottom surface of the work groove 13, and to keep the top surface of the piston 3 fit with the bottom surface of the work groove 13.
