Coaxial rotating cylinder engine

Abstract

The present invention provides a simpler, more efficient engine. In detail, the present invention relates to an engine in which a cylinder that performs a linear reciprocating movement directly rotates to create rotational movement. The engine comprises: a crank having three different shapes that are linked and pass through the cylinder, a cam, and a cylinder chamber; the cam which rotates along with the crank in the cylinder; and an intake and exhaust valve exclusively for an inner stroke cam, which enables four-stroke operation by turning a 1 / 2 open state of the cam into a 1 / 4 open state.

[0001] The present invention relates to a structure, specification and component design for improving an internal combustion engine.

[0002] It was invented to find improvements based on the linear motion of an internal combustion engine.

[0038] 507 There are intake and exhaust holes in the waist part, and the same holes are also in the leg part, and the open / closed state changes each time the leg part rotates by the cam.

[0039] Explain in the order of the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The assembly of the cylinder chamber, which is not shown in the drawing, is said to divide the cylinder chamber into front and back (as in a typical engine)

[0041] In Drawing 1, the engine is configured with two cylinder chambers, one on the left and one on the right, connected by a crank. When combustion occurs in the empty space of the semicircular cam (on the opposite side of the semicircle) on the right side of the left chamber, the explosive force pushes the cylinder to the left, and at this time, the cylinder rotates along the fine grooves by the stator fixed to the cylinder chamber. As the cylinder rotates, the crank also rotates.

[0042] As the crank rotates, power is generated, and the cam inside the cylinder chamber also rotates. At this time, the cam is semicircular in shape, so it rotates 180 degrees during one rotation. In order to enable a four-stroke, the cam-specific valve closes the valve hole when the number is odd and opens the hole when the number is even, so that intake and exhaust occur only once every two revolutions. In addition, to prevent the cam from scraping the cylinder, the crank needs a separate shape for the cam (a hexagonal shape slightly smaller than the cylinder contact area), and to prevent the cam from scraping the crank, a slight protrusion is placed at the center of the cam.

[0043] Through this process, the cylinder moves left and right within the chamber, and since the empty space on both the left and right can be utilized by the cams and valves mounted on the left and right of each chamber, two cylinders are possible with one cylinder and cylinder chamber. This makes four cylinders possible with two chambers and two cylinders, and the volume and weight are reduced just by the cylinder chamber, and the volume and weight are reduced again by eliminating the crank-rod, crank-cam, and crank-chamber.

[0044] During assembly, place the part with the stator hole in the two chambers, then place the crank, which is combined with the valve cam and cylinder. Align the cam and cylinder with the chamber firing order. Cover the remaining part of the chamber and secure the two parts. (Detailed sealing follows the method used on conventional engines.) Attach the timing valve and ignition device to the chamber.

[0045] If this isn't optimal, the cylinder can be reduced in weight by not having grooves in the cylinder chamber and by drilling grooves into the cylinder chamber. However, this results in a heavier and larger cylinder during assembly. Furthermore, it might not be a bad idea to omit the timing valve and instead use the conventional method of placing the cam externally.

[0046] Means of transportation where the center of gravity design is important, such as airplanes, ships, and automobiles

[0047] Generators can be sized from small to large by connecting single-size cylinders.

[0048] Also, if an external power source is used, it can be operated as a pump (instead of an engine) with the same engine structure.
