Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an internal combustion engine that significantly increases its power. Background Technology

[0002] Modern internal combustion engines are generally divided into two-stroke and four-stroke engines. The advantage of a two-stroke engine is that it completes one cycle of exhaust, intake, compression, and ignition in one revolution of the crankshaft, resulting in high power output. However, the exhaust gases are swept out by the intake air-fuel mixture and are not completely expelled, leading to high fuel consumption and poor thermal efficiency. Therefore, it is mostly used in motorcycles. On the other hand, a four-stroke engine completes one cycle of exhaust, intake, compression, and ignition in two revolutions of the crankshaft, resulting in four strokes and one power output. Its advantages are low fuel consumption and high thermal efficiency, making it widely used in automobiles and ships. So, is there a design that combines the advantages of both, achieving low fuel consumption and high power output? People have been searching for a solution. Summary of the Invention

[0003] A dual-cycle high-power engine solves this problem by designing the engine pistons in two overlapping layers. The lower piston, the main moving piston, is connected to the two small ends of a U-shaped connecting rod, while the large end of the connecting rod is connected to the crankshaft journal. A through-hole circular locating guide is located at the center of the main moving piston. The upper piston is the intake and exhaust piston. A locating slide rod is located at the center of the lower end of the upper intake and exhaust piston, inserted into the locating guide that passes through the center of the lower main moving piston, and suspended in the middle of the U-shaped connecting rod. A return spring is fitted onto the locating slide rod, and a circular hanging ring is located at the end of the slide rod. The function of the locating slide rod is to allow the upper intake and exhaust pistons to slide relative to the lower piston through the locating guide. The main piston can move independently, moving up and down relative to each other. The intake and exhaust pistons have a through-hole, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom on one side. A conical cover plate, also wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, is mounted on top of this hole. This cover plate is connected to a central movable locking pin, allowing it to move upwards. The purpose of this movable conical hole is to force the air-fuel mixture between the main piston and the intake / exhaust pistons into the upper cylinder space of the intake / exhaust pistons during the compression stroke. When the air-fuel mixture burns and generates pressure on the upper cylinder of the intake / exhaust pistons, the conical cover plate tightly engages with the conical hole, preventing the high-pressure combustion gases from flowing into the lower cylinder space of the intake / exhaust pistons. Instead, it pushes both the intake / exhaust pistons and the main pistons upwards. The crankshaft performs work by rotating downwards. Additionally, a synchronous shaft parallel to the crankshaft is installed on one side of the crankshaft arm's rotation direction within the crankcase. A large cam with a relatively large diameter is mounted on this synchronous shaft. The synchronous shaft is fixed to bearings on the side support walls of the crankcase, and its other end extends from one side of the crankcase and connects to the timing belt via gears. A lever-operated pull rod is installed below the large cam. The front end of the pull rod passes through a circular hanging ring at the end of a positioning slide rod, and a friction block is positioned directly below the large cam at its rear end. A lever shaft is horizontally positioned at the connection point between the pull rod and the friction block, with both ends also fixed to bearings on the side support walls. When the large cam rotates, pushing the friction block downwards, the front end of the pull rod amplifies the movement distance. When the positioning slide rod is pushed upward, the upper intake and exhaust pistons can quickly separate from the lower main piston and move upward. When the intake and exhaust pistons reach their highest point, the highest point of the large cam and the friction block rotate, and the front end of the pull rod automatically falls down. The intake and exhaust pistons automatically fall back under the action of the positioning slide rod return spring. Therefore, the pull rod, friction block, lever shaft, synchronous shaft, and large cam are combined to form a double-layer piston separation actuator. The valve train of this engine is still located at the upper end, but the intake port is located on the lower side of the cylinder. It is connected to the rear end of the intake valve through an intake duct. That is to say, this engine has the intake port on the lower side of the cylinder and the exhaust port at the upper end.When the ignition starts, the main piston and the intake / exhaust piston overlap and move downwards during the power stroke. When the crankshaft arm drives the entire piston to rotate to about 155 degrees downwards, the upper intake and exhaust valves open simultaneously. The pressure inside the cylinder disappears, and the exhaust gas from combustion is ejected from the exhaust port. At this time, the lower intake port is sealed by the intake / exhaust piston. Then, the large cam driven by the synchronous shaft gradually rotates to its highest point, pushing the friction block downwards. The front end of the pull rod moves upwards, pushing the center positioning slide rod of the intake / exhaust piston upwards. This causes the upper intake / exhaust piston to quickly separate from the lower main piston and move upwards, drawing in the air-fuel mixture from the lower intake port. Simultaneously, the exhaust gas from the upper layer of the intake and exhaust pistons is discharged. When the crankshaft arm rotates to approximately 205 degrees, the intake and exhaust pistons are lifted to the top by the pull rod, completely expelling the exhaust gas and completing the intake process. At this point, both the intake and exhaust valves close simultaneously. At the same time, the highest point of the large cam on the synchronous shaft rotates past the friction block, and the front end of the pull rod naturally falls. Under the action of the positioning slide rod return spring, the intake and exhaust pistons move downwards towards the lower main motion piston. Simultaneously, the crankshaft arm continues to rotate, and the main motion piston moves upwards, closing the intake port and performing the compression stroke to top dead center. During its ascent, the main motion piston compresses the air-fuel mixture, simultaneously forcing the mixture through the through-hole conical opening of the intake and exhaust pistons into the upper space of the intake and exhaust pistons. When the main piston is about to reach top dead center, it is already in close contact with the upper intake and exhaust pistons. At this moment, the spark plug ignites, and the high-pressure gas produced by the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder pushes the piston downward to complete the power stroke and start the next cycle. This completes one revolution of the crankshaft, thus completing one power stroke. From the perspective of crankshaft rotation, the main piston only completes two strokes: the compression stroke and the power stroke. The intake and exhaust pistons, however, complete the intake and exhaust strokes with the help of the actuator when the crankshaft arm rotates between 155 and 205 degrees. Therefore, it actually completes four strokes, achieving the fuel-saving effect of a four-stroke engine, while doubling the power. Diesel engines, however, simply draw in air and the spark plug becomes the fuel injector. It's crucial that the lower air intake port's position and size are such that it's above the main piston's sealing ring and below the intake and exhaust piston sealing rings when the crankshaft arm rotates to 155 degrees. Taking a common four-cylinder engine as an example, this allows two cylinders to ignite simultaneously for the power stroke, and the other two for the compression stroke. The result is that with one rotation of the crankshaft arm, each of the four pistons performs a power stroke once, doubling the efficiency compared to a conventional engine where the crankshaft arm rotates twice. This doubles the power output without increasing engine size, greatly benefiting automobiles and ships.

[0004] Its beneficial effects include significantly increasing the speed and load-bearing capacity of cars and ships.
