Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of internal combustion engine power generation technology, and in particular to a crankshaft-less coaxial linear reciprocating internal combustion pulse power generation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, BYD Co., Ltd. disclosed a patent related to a horizontally opposed engine (publication number: CN115898631A). The disclosed 2.0T horizontally opposed engine is a four-cylinder structure with a crankshaft. The piston is connected to the crankshaft through a connecting rod, and then drives the generator to generate electricity. There is a mechanical loss of about 5%-8%. When this structure is used as a range extender, it is usually arranged in a coaxial series, which has a long total length and is difficult to adapt to the limited installation space of new energy vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a crankshaft-free coaxial linear reciprocating internal combustion pulse generator. By eliminating the crankshaft and connecting rod, the piston directly drives the mover to generate electricity, and the mechanical loss approaches zero. At the same time, it provides a distributed multi-group arrangement scheme and a modular segmented mover design to solve the problem of excessive coaxial series length, realize flexible power expansion, and better adapt to the installation needs of new energy vehicles with different power levels.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A coaxial linear reciprocating internal combustion pulse power generation device includes at least one set of crankshaftless internal combustion engines and at least one set of linear generators. The piston of the internal combustion engine is rigidly connected to the piston rod, and the piston rod directly drives the linear generator mover to perform linear reciprocating motion to generate electricity. The linear generators can be arranged in a coaxial series arrangement or a polygonal star-shaped distributed arrangement. When arranged in a distributed multi-set arrangement, multiple linear generators are evenly distributed around the center of the internal combustion engine in a regular polygonal pattern.

[0006] Furthermore, the polygonal star-shaped distributed arrangement includes any one of triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, and hexagonal stars, with the number of linear generators equal to the number of star sides, and connected to the same piston rod through star-shaped connecting rods of corresponding shapes.

[0007] Furthermore, the mover adopts a modular segmented design, and can be selected as a single-segment, double-segment, three-segment, or multi-segment coaxial structure. The axial length of a single-segment mover is 30~50mm, preferably 40mm; the axial length of a single stator segment is the sum of the mover length and the reciprocating stroke, with a reciprocating stroke of 90mm. The axial length of a single stator segment is 120~140mm, preferably 130mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the mover core is formed by winding 50WW470 non-oriented silicon steel sheets, and N52UH high-temperature resistant neodymium iron boron permanent magnets are attached to the outer circular surface of the mover. The permanent magnets are radially magnetized, and the size of a single piece is 40mm×30mm×6mm. 18 permanent magnets are evenly distributed around the circumference of each mover segment.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0010] 1. By eliminating the crankshaft and connecting rod, mechanical losses approach zero, resulting in a power generation efficiency of over 95%.

[0011] 2. Offers a distributed multi-group layout scheme, reducing the total length by more than 40% and resulting in a more compact structure;

[0012] 3. When arranged in triangles or larger polygons, the inertial forces are completely canceled out, resulting in a lower vibration level;

[0013] 4. Modular segmented mover design allows for flexible adjustment of the number of mover segments and generators according to power requirements, with the total power adjustable between 30kW and several hundred kilowatts;

[0014] 5. The structure is simple, the number of parts is reduced by more than 60%, the reliability is high, and the maintenance cost is low. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The triangular connecting rod 24 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Its center is rigidly connected to the piston rod 4, and its three ends are rigidly connected to the movers of the three linear generators, respectively.

[0043] The reciprocating motion of the piston directly drives the piston rod to move linearly, which in turn drives the movers of three linear generators to move linearly and reciprocate to generate electricity through a triangular connecting rod. The total power generation is 90kW.

[0055] The stator assembly consists of two sets of stators, each with an axial length of 130mm. The two sets of stators are connected in series axially, with a total length of 260mm.

[0056] The moving part has a reciprocating stroke of 90mm, an operating frequency of 65Hz, a single moving part power generation of 30kW, and a total power generation of 60kW.
