Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to a cylinder engine. Background Art

[0002] As a key device that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, the engine plays an indispensable core role in modern industry, transportation and various power machinery fields. It provides continuous and stable power output for the operation of the equipment through a series of complex energy conversion processes.

[0003] In the existing engine structure, most traditional engines adopt a more complex and decentralized layout. It is common to install driving components such as pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, etc. in different positions, and realize power transmission and conversion through a series of mechanical connections. This structure makes the overall volume of the engine larger, especially in the vertical direction. It occupies more space. In the actual installation process, due to its irregular shape and large size, it often requires a larger installation space, has more stringent requirements on the shape and size of the installation area, and has low space utilization.

[0004] Secondly, in the traditional engine structure, only one stroke does work in each working cycle, so there are fluctuations in power output, resulting in unstable engine operation.

[0005] In addition, in terms of thermal management, traditional engines usually simply dissipate the heat generated during the working process, such as dissipating the heat to the surrounding environment through water tanks, fans and other devices, but ignore the effective use of this heat. For the large amount of heat generated when the driving mechanism is working, a complete heat transfer and recovery mechanism has not been established. This not only leads to energy waste, but also increases the energy consumption of the engine, which is not in line with the current green development concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0006] To sum up, it is very necessary to invent a cylinder engine. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cylindrical engine to solve the problems of existing engines, which are relatively large in overall volume, occupy more space in the vertical direction, and have more stringent requirements on the shape and size of the installation area when in use; secondly, the power output fluctuates and the operation is not smooth enough; in addition, the heat generated by the driving mechanism when working cannot be recycled, which does not conform to the current green development concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: including a housing, a transmission shaft, a swash plate, a driving mechanism, an oil filling pipe, an air extraction pipe, a first transfer pipe, an oil delivery pipe, a second transfer pipe, an exhaust pipe and a fixing frame, wherein a transmission shaft is rotatably mounted inside the housing through a support bearing, and one end of the transmission shaft is arranged outside the housing; a plurality of swash plates are fixed to the outer side surface of the transmission shaft, wherein the outer side surface of the swash plate is surrounded by a plurality of drive components, each of which is composed of two symmetrical drive mechanisms, and the two symmetrical drive mechanisms are respectively arranged on both sides of the corresponding swash plates; the input end of the drive mechanism is respectively connected to the oil filling pipe and the air extraction pipe through an electromagnetic valve, wherein the oil filling pipe is connected to the first transfer pipe through a joint, and the air extraction pipe is connected to the second transfer pipe through a joint; the first transfer pipe and the second transfer pipe are both fixed to the outer side surface of the housing through a fixing frame, and the first transfer pipe is connected to the external oil supply mechanism through the oil delivery pipe, and the second transfer pipe is connected to the external exhaust mechanism through the exhaust pipe; the electromagnetic valves are electrically connected to the external control system through data lines.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a piston cylinder, a piston column, a ball and a spark plug, the piston cylinder is fixed to the inner wall of the shell by bolts, and the piston cylinder is sealingly and slidably installed with a piston column, wherein one end of the piston column is arranged on the outside of the piston cylinder, and a ball is spherically hinged on the piston column arranged on the outside of the piston cylinder, and the ball is fitted with the corresponding inclined plate; the outer side surface of the piston cylinder is respectively connected to the oil filling pipe and the air extraction pipe through an electromagnetic valve, and the inner wall of the piston cylinder is fixed with a spark plug by bolts, and the spark plug is electrically connected to the external control system. Such an arrangement can drive the inclined plate to continue to move accordingly, and then drive the transmission shaft to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, a heat conducting plate is embedded on the side of the piston cylinder close to the shell, wherein the outer side of the heat conducting plate has a plurality of heat conducting rings along a linear array, and the heat conducting rings are fixed inside the piston cylinder; a plurality of heat exchange tubes are embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the shell, and the heat exchange tubes are all fitted with the corresponding heat conducting plates; air pipes are fixed at both ends of the heat exchange tubes, one of which is connected to the output end of an external air supply mechanism, and the other is connected to an external heating mechanism. Such an arrangement can not only cool the piston cylinder, but also utilize the heat generated during the combustion of the combustible mixture.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of fins are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, and the extension direction of the fins is the same as the extension direction of the heat exchange tube. Such an arrangement can improve the utilization rate of the heat generated during the combustion of the combustible mixture.

[0012] Furthermore, the gas transmission pipe includes a main pipe, a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe, one end of the main pipe is connected to an external gas supply mechanism or an external heating mechanism through a joint, and the other end of the main pipe is fixed to the middle part of the first branch pipe through a three-way joint; both ends of the first branch pipe are fixed with the second branch pipe through a three-way joint, wherein the output ends of the second branch pipe are respectively fixed to the corresponding heat exchange pipes. Such an arrangement can evenly distribute the gas discharged from the external gas supply mechanism to the inside of the heat exchange pipe, and allow the gas discharged from the inside of the heat exchange pipe to enter the external heating mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the overall shape of the shell is a hollow cylindrical structure, and such a configuration facilitates the reasonable arrangement of the installation space.

[0014] Furthermore, fixing clamps are provided on both sides of the swash plate by bolts, wherein the fixing clamps are fixed to the transmission shaft by bolts. Such a setting can strengthen the fixation of the swash plate and prevent the swash plate from deformation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The present invention is different from traditional engines in that the drive mechanism is reasonably integrated inside the engine casing. This design effectively reduces the engine's dimensional parameters in the vertical direction and significantly reduces the overall height of the engine. At the same time, the overall cylindrical structure design is adopted, which makes it easy to reasonably plan and arrange the space during the actual installation process, thereby improving the space utilization rate; secondly, since multiple drive components are provided and the drive components are arranged around the swash plate array, during use, multiple drive mechanisms simultaneously act on the swash plate to drive the transmission shaft to rotate, thereby reducing the power output fluctuation and making the engine run smoothly; in addition, through the coordinated cooperation of the heat conduction plate, the heat conduction ring, the heat exchange pipe, the air supply pipe, the external air supply mechanism and the external heating mechanism, the heat transfer and utilization during the working process of the drive mechanism are realized, thereby not only effectively reducing the working temperature of the drive mechanism and ensuring the stable operation and reliability of the drive mechanism, but also utilizing the heat generated by the combustion of the combustible mixture to improve the energy utilization efficiency, which is in line with the green design concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] As attached Figure 1-9 As shown:

[0030] The present invention provides a cylinder engine, comprising a housing 1, a transmission shaft 2, a swash plate 3, a driving mechanism 4, an oil injection pipe 5, an exhaust pipe 6, a first transfer pipe 7, an oil delivery pipe 8, a second transfer pipe 9, an exhaust pipe 10 and a fixing frame 11. The transmission shaft 2 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 1 through a support bearing. The housing 1 is made of a high-strength aluminum alloy material, and one end of the transmission shaft 2 is arranged outside the housing 1, wherein the transmission shaft 2 is an axial structure made of 45 steel; a plurality of swash plates 3 are fixed on the outer side of the transmission shaft 2, and the swash plates 3 are a disk-mounted structure made of 35CrMo steel, wherein the outer side of the swash plate 3 is surrounded by a plurality of groups of driving components, and the driving components are each composed of two The housing 1 is composed of two symmetrical driving mechanisms 4, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the corresponding swash plate 3; the input end of the driving mechanism 4 is connected to the oil filling pipe 5 and the air extraction pipe 6 through the solenoid valve, wherein the oil filling pipe 5 is connected to the first transfer pipe 7 through a joint, and the air extraction pipe 6 is connected to the second transfer pipe 9 through a joint; the first transfer pipe 7 and the second transfer pipe 9 are both fixed to the outer side of the housing 1 through a fixing frame 11, and the first transfer pipe 7 is connected to the external oil supply mechanism through the oil delivery pipe 8, and the second transfer pipe 9 is connected to the external exhaust mechanism through the exhaust pipe 10; the solenoid valves are electrically connected to the external control system through data lines, and the solenoid valves adopt VQZ series solenoid valves.

[0031] Specifically, the driving mechanism 4 includes a piston cylinder 41, a piston column 42, a ball 43 and a spark plug 44. The piston cylinder 41 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1 by bolts, and the piston cylinder 41 is sealed and slidably installed with the piston column 42, wherein one end of the piston column 42 is arranged on the outside of the piston cylinder 41, and a ball 43 is spherically hinged on the piston column 42 arranged on the outside of the piston cylinder 41. The ball 43 is fitted with the corresponding inclined plate 3, and the ball 43 is made of GCr15 steel; the outer side surface of the piston cylinder 41 is connected to the oil filling pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6 through the solenoid valve, and the inner wall of the piston cylinder 41 is fixed with a spark plug 44 by bolts, and the spark plug 44 is electrically connected to the external control system, and the spark plug 44 adopts F7H When the ER2 spark plug is in use, the oil filling pipe 5 can inject a combustible mixture of air and gasoline into the piston cylinder 41, so that the piston rod 42 slides inside the piston cylinder 41, thereby pushing the swash plate 3 to move accordingly, and then with the movement of the remaining driving mechanisms 4, the swash plate 3 drives the piston rod 42 to compress the combustible mixture inside the piston cylinder 41. When it is compressed to a certain extent, the spark plug 44 ignites the combustible mixture, so that the piston rod 42 once again pushes the swash plate 3 to move accordingly, and then with the movement of the remaining driving mechanisms 4, the swash plate 3 will drive the piston rod 42 to discharge the exhaust gas that has been burned inside the piston cylinder 41 through the exhaust pipe 6. Repeating the above work can drive the swash plate 3 to continue to move.

[0032] Specifically, a heat conducting plate 12 is embedded on the side of the piston cylinder 41 close to the shell 1, wherein a plurality of heat conducting rings 13 are arranged along a linear array on the outer side of the heat conducting plate 12, and the heat conducting rings 13 are fixed inside the piston cylinder 41; a plurality of heat exchange tubes 14 are embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the heat exchange tubes 14 are all arranged in close contact with the corresponding heat conducting plates 12; gas delivery pipes 15 are fixed at both ends of the heat exchange tubes 14, one of the gas delivery pipes 15 is connected to the output end of the external gas supply mechanism, and the other gas delivery pipe 15 is connected to the external heating mechanism; the heat conducting plate 12, the heat conducting ring 13 and the heat exchange tube 14 are all made of copper. When in use, the heat-conducting ring 13 can absorb the heat generated by the combustion of the combustible mixture inside the piston cylinder 41, and conduct it to the inside of the heat-conducting plate 12. At the same time, the external gas supply mechanism transports the gas to the inside of the heat exchange tube 14 through one of the gas pipes 15. The gas can exchange heat with the heat-conducting plate 12 to be converted into high-temperature gas. The high-temperature gas will be discharged to the external heating mechanism under the action of another gas pipe 15. Through the above work, not only the piston cylinder 41 can be cooled, but also the heat generated by the combustion of the combustible mixture can be utilized.

[0033] Specifically, a plurality of fins are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 14, and the extension direction of the fins is the same as the extension direction of the heat exchange tube 14, and the fins are made of aluminum alloy material. With such a configuration, the fins can reduce the flow velocity of the gas inside the heat exchange tube 14, and can increase the contact area between the gas and the heat exchange tube 14, thereby improving the utilization rate of the heat generated during the combustion of the combustible mixture.

[0034] Specifically, the gas supply pipe 15 includes a main pipe 151, a first branch pipe 152 and a second branch pipe 153. One end of the main pipe 151 is connected to an external gas supply mechanism or an external heating mechanism through a joint, and the other end of the main pipe 151 is fixed to the middle part of the first branch pipe 152 through a three-way joint; both ends of the first branch pipe 152 are fixed with the second branch pipe 153 through a three-way joint, wherein the output ends of the second branch pipe 153 are respectively fixed to the corresponding heat exchange pipes 14. When in use, through the cooperation of the first branch pipe 152 and the second branch pipe 153, the gas discharged from the external gas supply mechanism can be evenly distributed to the inside of the heat exchange pipe 14, and the gas discharged from the inside of the heat exchange pipe 14 can enter the external heating mechanism.

[0035] Specifically, the overall shape of the housing 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and such a configuration facilitates reasonable arrangement of space when installing the engine.

[0036] Specifically, fixing clamps 16 are provided on both sides of the swash plate 3 by bolts, wherein the fixing clamps 16 are fixed to the transmission shaft 2 by bolts. When in use, the fixing clamps 16 can strengthen the fixation of the swash plate 3, thereby preventing the swash plate 3 from being deformed when subjected to the driving force of the driving mechanism 4.

[0037] The method of using this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0038] 1) Preparation stage: First, one end of the transmission shaft 2 is connected to the external transmission mechanism, and then the oil pipeline 8, the exhaust pipe 10 and the two air pipelines 15 are respectively connected to the corresponding external equipment.

[0039] 2) Driving stage: through the coordinated work of the oil filling pipe 5, the air extraction pipe 6, the first transfer pipe 7, the oil delivery pipe 8, the second transfer pipe 9, the exhaust pipe 10 and the driving mechanism 4, the swash plate 3 and the transmission shaft 2 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the external transmission mechanism to work.

[0040] 3) Energy utilization: During the driving stage, the heat generated by the combustion of the combustible mixture inside the driving mechanism 4 can be absorbed through the coordinated cooperation of the heat conducting plate 12, the heat conducting ring 13, the heat exchange tube 14, the gas pipe 15 and the external gas supply mechanism, and then transmitted to the external heating mechanism.

[0041] All kinds of components used in this application document are standard parts, and the specific connection methods of each part adopt mature conventional means such as sewing and gluing in the prior art. Each structure adopts conventional materials in the prior art, and no specific description is given here.

[0042] To sum up: this kind of cylindrical engine solves the problem that the existing engines are large in overall size when in use, occupy more space in the vertical direction, and have more stringent requirements on the shape and size of the installation area; secondly, the power output fluctuates and the operation is not smooth enough; in addition, the heat generated by the driving mechanism when it is working cannot be recycled, which is not in line with the current green development concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.
