Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of engine, and particularly relates to a novel rotor engine structure and a working method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] A rotor engine is an engine that generates power using rotational motion, and was first developed by Wankel. The Wankel engine developed by Wankel includes a housing whose inner surface is formed of an epitrochoid, and a triangular rotor that rotates in the housing. The internal space of the housing is divided into three spaces by the rotor, and the volumes of these spaces vary according to the rotation of the rotor, thereby continuously completing the four strokes of intake -> compression -> work -> exhaust. The Wankel engine is configured such that each stroke is performed three times when the rotor rotates one revolution, and the eccentric shaft rotates three revolutions. Since the Wankel engine was developed, various studies have been conducted to optimize the design of the Wankel engine, and improved rotor engines continue to be developed.

[0003] The rotor engine is easily miniaturized due to its simple structure, and is a high-output engine capable of generating high output power in high-speed operation. Due to these characteristics, the rotor engine has the advantage of being applicable to various devices such as a heat pump system, a car, a bicycle, an airplane, a jet ski, a chain saw, a remote control airplane, etc. In addition, the rotor engine has the advantages of low vibration and low noise and low NOx emission due to its uniform rotational force.

[0014] Preferably, the three semi-circular cavities are formed by connecting three semi-circular cavities, and each of the three semi-circular cavities has a combustion chamber at its top, and a radial seal is provided at the connection point of the three semi-circular cavities.

[0015] Preferably, a method for operating a novel rotary engine structure includes the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Assemble the novel rotary engine structure. The three tops of the three semi-circular cavities 108 are respectively provided with combustion chambers 103. Each combustion chamber 103 is provided with a spark plug 803 and an injector 804. The spark plugs 803 of the three combustion chambers 103 are ignited at intervals. At the same time as ignition, the injector 804 injects fuel. The three semi-circular cavities 108 are divided into three working chambers by the figure-eight rotor 501. When the combustion chamber 103 in one working chamber is ignited, the other two working chambers are one for intake and one for exhaust.

[0017] Step 2: When the first intake manifold 812 is inlet, the gas enters the intake port of the figure-eight rotor 501 through the intake port 301. As the figure-eight rotor 501 begins to rotate slowly counterclockwise, the space of the first chamber is compressed. When the space of the first chamber is compressed to its minimum, the first combustion chamber 103, which is against one end of the figure-eight rotor 501, is ignited. The gas expands rapidly, pushing the figure-eight rotor 501 to rotate rapidly, so that the outlet of the figure-eight rotor 501 is connected to the exhaust port 201, and the gas is discharged.

[0018] Step 3: Next, the air inlet of the rotating figure-eight rotor 501 is connected to the air inlet 301 to allow air to enter. The figure-eight rotor 501 compresses the space of the second chamber. When the space of the second chamber is compressed to its minimum, the second combustion chamber 103, which is against one end of the figure-eight rotor 501, is ignited. The gas expands rapidly, pushing the figure-eight rotor 501 to rotate rapidly, so that the air outlet of the figure-eight rotor 501 is connected to the exhaust port 201, and the gas is discharged.

[0019] Step 4: Next, the air inlet of the rotating figure-eight rotor 501 connects with the air inlet 301 to allow air to enter. The figure-eight rotor 501 compresses the space of the third chamber. When the space of the third chamber is compressed to its minimum, the third combustion chamber 103, which is against one end of the figure-eight rotor 501, is ignited. The gas expands rapidly, pushing the figure-eight rotor 501 to rotate quickly, so that the air outlet of the figure-eight rotor 501 connects with the exhaust port 201, and the gas is discharged.

[0020] Step 5: As the figure-eight rotor 501 rotates rapidly, it drives the main shaft assembly 4 to rotate rapidly as well. Since the internal gear 805 is fixed to the inner end face of the front cover body 210 by bolts and gear bolt holes 206, and the external gear 811 is fitted on the front side of the rear half shaft 406, the external gear 811 is fixed to the figure-eight rotor 501 by spring pins, and the internal gear 805 meshes with the external gear 811, the figure-eight rotor 501 rotates counterclockwise 1 revolution, and the main shaft assembly 4 rotates clockwise 2 revolutions.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] (1) This invention discloses a novel rotary engine structure, similar to the Wankel rotary engine with internal and external swaps. Its rotor is elliptical "8" shaped, and the cylinder is triangular. This combination increases the volume difference, which can significantly increase the compression ratio and greatly improve the thermal efficiency. Based on inheriting many advantages of the traditional Wankel rotary engine, this invention effectively solves the disadvantage of low thermal efficiency caused by the low compression ratio of the traditional triangular rotary engine. It has better power efficiency and a larger power spectrum in a small volume.

[0023] (2) The rotor engine of the present invention has three combustion chambers at the top of the three semi-circular cavities. Each combustion chamber is equipped with a spark plug and an injector. The spark plugs of the three combustion chambers are ignited at intervals. At the same time as the ignition, the injectors are ignited. The three combustion chambers are ignited at intervals to avoid excessive local temperature of the cylinder, improve the thermal stress state of the cylinder, avoid the cylinder sealing failure caused by excessive local thermal deformation, and prevent the power drop phenomenon, thereby improving the fatigue life of the engine.

[0024] (3) The internal gear of the present invention is fixed to the inner end face of the front cover body by bolts and gear bolt holes, and the external gear is fixed to the figure-eight rotor by spring pins. The internal gear and the external gear mesh with each other and the gear ratio is 3:2. Therefore, the figure-eight rotor rotates counterclockwise 1 turn and the main shaft assembly rotates clockwise 2 turns, which improves the low-speed torque characteristics of the engine.

[0025] (4) The rotary engine of the present invention includes an elliptical figure-eight rotor and a triangular cylinder. The engine has fewer moving parts, and the lubrication of the radial seals is greatly improved. The seals at the top of the traditional triangular rotor are replaced with radial seals at the three semi-circular cavities. The moving parts are transformed into fixed parts, and the radial seals are independently lubricated, so that it has better power, economy and reliability when it is running. It has great potential in aviation system applications.

[0026] (5) When the rotary engine of the present invention is running, the air-fuel mixture enters through the “8”-shaped rotor and compresses the cylinder to do work, and then exhausts through the “8”-shaped rotor. The engine is more compact overall, has a higher power density, and has better power, economy and thermal efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The external gear 811 is fitted onto the front side of the rear half-shaft 406 and is fixed to the figure-eight rotor 501 by spring pins. The internal gear 805 meshes with the external gear 811. There are three exhaust manifolds 806, which are respectively installed at the exhaust port 201. The needle roller bearing 807 is fitted onto the figure-eight rotor 501 and the rear half-shaft 406.

[0070] The radial seal 6 and the end face seal 7 are used to seal the working chamber (the cavity formed by the cylinder / rotor and the front and rear end covers) to prevent combustion chamber leakage.

[0071] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the triangular cylinder body 106, the front cover body 210, and the rear cover body 310 are all triangular-like structures. The triangular-like structure is formed by three long sides and three short sides connected at intervals. A front positioning pin hole 207 or positioning pin hole 105 or a rear positioning pin hole 308 is opened at the center of the three long sides. A front bolt hole 208 or bolt hole 109 or a rear bolt hole 307 is opened at the junction of adjacent two sides.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the three semi-circular cavities 108 are formed by connecting three semi-circular cavities. The top of each of the three semi-circular cavities is provided with a combustion chamber 103, and a radial seal 6 is provided at the connection of the three semi-circular cavities.

[0073] Example 8

[0074] This invention discloses a working method for a novel rotary engine structure, comprising the following steps:

[0075] Step 1: Assemble the novel rotary engine structure. The three tops of the three semi-circular cavities 108 are respectively provided with combustion chambers 103. Each combustion chamber 103 is provided with a spark plug 803 and an injector 804. The spark plugs 803 of the three combustion chambers 103 are ignited at intervals. At the same time as ignition, the injector 804 injects fuel. The three semi-circular cavities 108 are divided into three working chambers by the figure-eight rotor 501. When the combustion chamber 103 in one working chamber is ignited, the other two working chambers are one for intake and one for exhaust.

[0076] Step 2: When the first intake manifold 812 is inlet, the gas enters the intake port of the figure-eight rotor 501 through the intake port 301. As the figure-eight rotor 501 begins to rotate slowly counterclockwise, the space of the first chamber is compressed. When the space of the first chamber is compressed to its minimum, the first combustion chamber 103, which is against one end of the figure-eight rotor 501, is ignited. The gas expands rapidly, pushing the figure-eight rotor 501 to rotate rapidly, so that the outlet of the figure-eight rotor 501 is connected to the exhaust port 201, and the gas is discharged.

[0077] Step 3: Next, the air inlet of the rotating figure-eight rotor 501 is connected to the air inlet 301 to allow air to enter. The figure-eight rotor 501 compresses the space of the second chamber. When the space of the second chamber is compressed to its minimum, the second combustion chamber 103, which is against one end of the figure-eight rotor 501, is ignited. The gas expands rapidly, pushing the figure-eight rotor 501 to rotate rapidly, so that the air outlet of the figure-eight rotor 501 is connected to the exhaust port 201, and the gas is discharged.

[0078] Step 4: Next, the air inlet of the rotating figure-eight rotor 501 connects with the air inlet 301 to allow air to enter. The figure-eight rotor 501 compresses the space of the third chamber. When the space of the third chamber is compressed to its minimum, the third combustion chamber 103, which is against one end of the figure-eight rotor 501, is ignited. The gas expands rapidly, pushing the figure-eight rotor 501 to rotate quickly, so that the air outlet of the figure-eight rotor 501 connects with the exhaust port 201, and the gas is discharged.

[0079] Step 5: As the figure-eight rotor 501 rotates rapidly, it drives the main shaft assembly 4 to rotate rapidly as well. Since the internal gear 805 is fixed to the inner end face of the front cover body 210 by bolts and gear bolt holes 206, and the external gear 811 is fitted on the front side of the rear half shaft 406, the external gear 811 is fixed to the figure-eight rotor 501 by spring pins, and the internal gear 805 meshes with the external gear 811, the figure-eight rotor 501 rotates counterclockwise 1 revolution, and the main shaft assembly 4 rotates clockwise 2 revolutions.

[0080] In a traditional rotary engine, the external gear is stationary and does not rotate, while the internal gear is fixed to the rotor and rotates with it. Therefore:

[0081] w 内 / w 外 =2 / 3

[0082] (w) 内 -w) / (w 外 -w) = 2 / 3

[0083] At this time w 外 =0

[0084] w=3w 内

[0085] Therefore, the eccentric shaft and the triangular rotor are in the same direction. In a traditional rotary engine, the triangular rotor rotates 1 revolution while the eccentric shaft rotates 3 revolutions.

[0086] In this invention, the internal and external gears are adjusted. The external gear is fixed to the figure-eight rotor by a spring pin, and the internal gear is fixed to the front cover body and remains stationary. Therefore:

[0087] w 内 / w 外 =2 / 3

[0088] (w) 内 -w) / (w 外 -w) = 2 / 3

[0089] At this time w 内 =0

[0090] -w=2w 外

[0091] Therefore, the figure-eight rotor and the main shaft assembly of this invention are in opposite directions. The figure-eight rotor rotates counterclockwise once, and the main shaft assembly rotates clockwise twice. This can improve the torque characteristics of the engine at low speeds, enabling the engine to have greater torque at low speeds and further expanding the application range of the engine.

[0092] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0093] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, this invention discloses a novel rotary engine structure, including a cylinder assembly 1, a front cover assembly 2, a rear cover assembly 3, a main shaft assembly 4, and a rotor assembly 5. The cylinder assembly 1, the front cover assembly 2, and the rear cover assembly 3 are bolted together to form the engine body. The main shaft assembly 4 passes sequentially through the front center hole 209 of the front cover assembly 2, the center of the figure-eight rotor 501 in the cylinder assembly 1, and the rear center hole 309 of the rear cover assembly 3. The main shaft assembly 4 is limited at both ends. This invention uses a figure-eight rotor 501 and a three-semi-circular cavity 108 for cooperation. This cooperation increases the volume difference, improves the compression ratio, and greatly improves the thermal efficiency. This invention has fewer moving parts in the engine, especially the radial seal 6, whose lubrication is greatly improved. The radial seal 6 is transformed from a moving part into a fixed part. When the engine is running, the air-fuel mixture enters through the rotor, compresses the cylinder to perform work, and then exits through the rotor to exhaust the exhaust gas. The engine is more compact overall, has a higher power density, and has better power, economy, and thermal efficiency.

[0094] This invention discloses a novel rotary engine structure, similar to a Wankel rotary engine with internal and external components swapped. Its rotor is elliptical "8" shaped, while the cylinder block is triangular. This combination increases the volume difference, which can significantly increase the compression ratio and greatly improve thermal efficiency. While inheriting many advantages of the traditional Wankel rotary engine, this invention effectively solves the problem of low thermal efficiency caused by the low compression ratio of the traditional triangular rotary engine. It has better power efficiency and a larger power spectrum in a smaller volume.

[0095] The rotary engine of this invention has combustion chambers at the top of its three semi-circular cavities. Each combustion chamber is equipped with a spark plug and a fuel injector. The spark plugs in the three combustion chambers ignite at intervals, and the fuel injectors ignite simultaneously. This intermittent ignition of the three combustion chambers avoids excessive local temperature in the cylinder block, improves the thermal stress state of the cylinder block, prevents cylinder block sealing failure due to excessive local thermal deformation, avoids power reduction, and improves the fatigue life of the engine.

[0096] In this invention, the internal gear is fixed to the inner end face of the front cover body by bolts and gear bolt holes, and the external gear is fixed to the figure-eight rotor by spring pins. The internal gear and the external gear mesh with each other, and their gear ratio is 3:2. Therefore, when the figure-eight rotor rotates counterclockwise once, the main shaft assembly rotates clockwise twice, which improves the low-speed torque characteristics of the engine.

[0097] The rotary engine of this invention includes an elliptical figure-eight rotor and a triangular cylinder. The engine has fewer moving parts, and the lubrication of the radial seals is greatly improved. The seals at the top of the traditional triangular rotor are replaced with radial seals at the three semi-circular cavities. The moving parts are transformed into fixed parts, and the radial seals are independently lubricated, which makes it have better power, economy and reliability during operation. It has great potential for application in aviation systems.

[0098] When the rotary engine of this invention is running, the air-fuel mixture enters through the figure-eight rotor, compresses the cylinder to do work, and then exits through the figure-eight rotor to exhaust the exhaust gas. The engine is more compact overall, has a higher power density, and has better power, economy and thermal efficiency.

[0099] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0100] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of this invention. It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims.
