An oil reservoir assembly, a power system, and a vehicle

PendingCN122304839AOil canThermodynamics
This invention discloses an oil reservoir assembly, a power system, and a vehicle, relating to the field of vehicle technology. It aims to solve the problem of preventing oil-air mixtures from entering the engine and affecting engine efficiency. The oil reservoir assembly is applied to a vehicle and includes a first oil reservoir adapted to store lubricating oil and connected to the vehicle's engine. Along the length of the vehicle, the first oil reservoir is preferably positioned between the engine and the front end of the vehicle, with a distance of not less than 500mm between the first oil reservoir and the engine's exhaust pipe. Thus, in the event of a collision, because the distance between the first oil reservoir and the engine's exhaust pipe is greater than or equal to 500mm, the oil from the first oil reservoir is prevented from splashing onto the engine, thereby preventing accidental fire.

Crankless piston internal combustion engine and method of operating the same

PendingCN122341806AMaximum torqueEngine efficiency
This invention relates to a crankless piston internal combustion engine and its operating method, which can be widely applied to various motor vehicles and stationary engines. Engines according to this invention will provide higher economic efficiency and longer service life during operation. The engine efficiency according to this invention is achieved by applying a basic kinematic scheme that converts the linear reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the engine drive shaft (9). The piston (21) performing the working cycle stroke completes its full working stroke by rotating the drive shaft (9) by 90°, instead of 180° as in conventional engines. Each stroke begins with drive gear sets (10, 11, 12, 13) (each set corresponding to one piston (21)) arranged at an angle of approximately 45° relative to the direction of piston (21) motion, and the sets are offset from each other by approximately 90°. The offset angles between the drive gear sets, starting with the drive teeth of the "expansion" stroke, are arranged at different angle values, allowing two, three, or more "expansion" strokes to be performed simultaneously. Each piston stroke does not begin with a zero torque value, but rather with a value equal to the maximum torque value of the crank-driven engine. According to the present invention, the engine torque and power values ​​are approximately three times, six times, and nine times that of an engine with a crank mechanism, respectively, at the same speed.
