Definitions
- the invention relates to a piston engine, comprising a housing in which at least a first piston is arranged, which is reciprocable between two end positions and to periodically enlarge and reduce a working chamber adjacent to a first end surface of the at least one first piston, wherein the at least one first piston having at least one guide member engaging a cam formed on a cam member disposed in the housing, the cam member concentrically and circumferentially extending around a housing fixed axis of rotation in the housing and radially outwardly of the piston with respect to the axis of rotation wherein the at least one first piston faces a second piston that performs reciprocal reciprocating movements toward the first piston, the second piston having a second end surface facing the first end surface of the first piston, and the working chamberlocated between the end faces.
- Such a piston machine is known for example from WO 2006/122658 Al.
- a piston engine according to the present invention can be used in particular as an internal combustion engine.
- the use of the reciprocating engine as an internal combustion engine is shown as the preferred use.
- other applications of a piston engine according to the present invention are possible, for example the use of the piston engine as a compressor.
- the piston machine known from the above document is a rotary piston machine.
- a total of four pistons are arranged, which rotate together about a housing-fixed axis of rotation.
- the four pistons perform reciprocating motions, with two pistons forming a pair of pistons making reciprocal reciprocal reciprocations to alternately displace a working chamber defined between the end surfaces of the two pistons of the piston pair zoom in and out.
- the known rotary piston machine on two working chambers, wherein the working chambers in the same direction to reduce and enlarge.
- the four pistons are slidably mounted in a piston cage, which rotates together with the piston about the axis of rotation.
- the reciprocating movements of the individual pistons are thereby derived from the rotation of the pistons about the axis of rotation by the pistons each having a guide member which runs in a control cam of a housing-fixed cam member, wherein the control cam has a corresponding wavy contouring to the out - And forthcoming movements of the piston from the rotation of the piston to derive about the axis of rotation.
- the rotation of the piston cage can be transmitted to an output shaft, for example, to drive a vehicle.
- a radial piston high-pressure pump in particular as a fuel pump for injection systems of internal combustion engines, is also known.
- This high-pressure pump comprises a pump head on radially movable pump pistons whose reciprocating motion by a surrounding "pump piston rotatable cam ring are produced, which has a correspondingly contoured cam track.
- the invention has the object of developing a piston engine of the type mentioned in such a way that the operating characteristics of the piston engine are improved.
- this object is achieved with respect to the piston engine mentioned above in that the cam member is rotatably mounted about the axis of rotation in the housing, while the at least one first piston and the second piston are not rotatable about the axis of rotation, so that at least a first piston and the second piston during rotation of the cam member about the rotational axis reciprocating movements in a fixed axis of rotation with respect to the movement plane.
- the piston engine according to the invention is detached from the concept of rotary piston engines in that the reciprocating movements of the piston or pistons are not derived from a rotational movement of the piston or pistons about the axis of rotation, but from a rotation of the cam member about the axis of rotation the piston or pistons do not rotate with respect to the axis of rotation. Centrifugal forces with respect to the axis of rotation on the piston or pistons are thus excluded.
- the at least one first piston performs its reciprocating movements in a fixed plane of rotation with respect to the axis of rotation, while in the known rotary piston machines, the plane of movement of the reciprocating movements of the individual pistons also rotates about the axis of rotation.
- the piston engine according to the invention also manages with substantially fewer rotating parts than the known rotary piston machines, because the rotation of the piston or pistons is dispensed with, and only the lower-mass cam member executes a rotational movement in order to produce the reciprocating movements of the piston or pistons ,
- the concept of the piston engine according to the invention is advantageously applied in an embodiment in which the at least one first piston faces a second piston which performs opposite reciprocating motions when the cam member is rotated relative to the first piston, the second piston having a second end surface. which faces the first end surface of the first piston, and the working chamber in which a working gas, in particular a fuel-air mixture, compressed, ignited and expanded, is located between the end surfaces.
- This boxer principle known per se, for example, from the document mentioned above, in which the two pistons work against one another, has the advantage that, with a comparatively small stroke of the two pistons, a large breathing volume of the working chamber is achieved.
- the second piston on a guide member which is in engagement with the control cam of the cam member.
- the reciprocating movements of the two opposing pistons are independently derived from the rotation of the cam member about the axis of rotation. This has the advantage that no mechanical coupling between the two pistons has to be provided to produce the reciprocating movements of the second piston. In addition, only one control cam in the cam member is required for the first and second pistons.
- the axis of rotation runs centrally through the working chamber.
- This measure has the advantage that, in the case of using the piston engine according to the invention as the internal combustion engine at the front side in the housing and on the axis of rotation lying an ignition device for igniting the fuel-air mixture can be arranged in the working chamber.
- an arrangement of the ignition device on the axis of rotation is provided for example in the known rotary piston machine according to WO 2006/122658 Al, but there is the disadvantage that the ignition device is performed through a hole in the rotating piston cage, resulting in sealing problems between the ignition device and the can lead rotating piston cage.
- the ignition device can be performed by the housing and thus by a fixed part and easily sealed.
- the at least one first piston is slidably mounted in a piston cage, which is fixed relative to the housing.
- the inclusion of the at least one first piston in a piston cage has the advantage that the piston may have a cylindrical shape so that the first end surface of the at least one first piston may be circular, and the piston slidably supported in a circular bore in the piston cage can be.
- the piston may have a cylindrical shape so that the first end surface of the at least one first piston may be circular, and the piston slidably supported in a circular bore in the piston cage can be.
- a shaft is in operative connection with the cam member, such that the rotation of the cam member is converted into a rotation of the shaft.
- the tap of the rotational movement for example for driving a vehicle, is advantageously carried out here by the rotating cam member, so that the rotation of the Curve member can be transmitted directly into a rotation of the shaft, which avoids complicated transmission gear.
- the shaft is connected via a worm toothing with the cam member.
- the shaft may advantageously be directly in engagement with the outside of the cam member, thereby saving further moving parts between the cam member and the shaft.
- the shaft is preferably arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
- a gas inlet and a gas outlet are present in the housing with respect to the axis of rotation at the front side, wherein the gas inlet and the gas outlet by means of a rotary valve having an opening, released and closed, which is about the axis of rotation with the same Speed as the cam member rotates.
- the piston engine according to the invention advantageously makes it possible for the gas inlet and the gas outlet to be provided in the immediate vicinity of the axis of rotation in the frontal part of the housing without the gas inlet and the gas outlet colliding with, for example, a rotating part.
- a gas such as a fuel-air mixture in the working chamber
- a gas such as combusted fuel air Mixture
- Such a transmission can in turn be formed by a worm gear between the outer side of the cam member and a drive shaft for the rotary valve as in the case of the above-mentioned shaft.
- a total of four pistons are arranged in the housing, of which the at least first and a second piston, a first piston pair and a third and a fourth piston form a second piston pair, wherein the second piston pair defines a second working chamber, which with the Working chamber defined by the first pair of pistons is in a plane, wherein the reciprocating movements of the first and third pistons are rectified, and wherein the reciprocating movements of the second and fourth pistons are rectified.
