The invention relates to an
opposed piston engine core structure and an assembling method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of internal
combustion engines. The structure is constructed through the following assembling steps that firstly, the fixed gear ring is fixed to the cylinder body in a non-detachable mode, and a gear reference is formed; secondly, a
crankshaft assembly integrated with a planetary gear is installed on the cylinder body, the planetary gear and the fixed gear ring are synchronously and internally meshed, and a motion restraining mechanism is formed; and finally, the pistons are assembled to the first shaft neck and the second shaft neck of the
crankshaft through connecting rods in a rigid connection mode without movable hinges. According to the formed core structure, the
piston-connecting rod
system is forced to do linear
reciprocating motion only along the axis of the air cylinder by utilizing the internal meshing constraint, and the lateral force of a
piston in a traditional engine is thoroughly eliminated. The invention further provides an engine comprising the core structure. According to the scheme, the structure is compact, friction and vibration can be remarkably reduced, and efficiency and reliability are improved.
