7 Claims.
My invention relates to internal combustion engines and similar power devices which utilize a cylinder and a reciprocating piston therein. My invention is illustrated not only in connection with internal combustion engines, but also in connection with steam engines and pumps.
One of the principal objects of my invention is to provide means, in devices of this character, by which the wear between the reciprocating piston and the cylinder will be taken upon crosshead guides rather than between the pistons and the cylinder walls, thereby to increase the effective life of said elements.
' A further object of myinvention is to provide a multi-cylinder power device in which each of the cylinders is double-acting and opposes another cylinder or other cylinders, the operation tending to provide substantially continuous driving strokes of the pistons in said cylinders which successively operate to drive the crank shaft. or other common power device so that a minimum effective mass in the form of a flywheel, or similar operating structure, is necessary in order to produce uniform torque throughout the operating cycleof said engine. The latter object is attained by providing an engine in which a plurality of cylinders are arranged in longitudinally spaced alinement, the pistons being double acting, that is, provided with a firing chamber at each end thereof within each of the cylinders,said pistons being driven alternately back and forth by said firing chamber upon successive strokes, thereby to minimize the necessity of aheavy flywheel for carrying the operating parts thru a complete firing cycle. A further feature of my invention is that it provides a double-acting cylinder with a piston housed therein and with a piston pin extending laterally thru the piston and thru the cylinder wall. Connecting rods, either bifurcated or in 'pairs, join the ends of said piston pin to the crank shaft of an engine. Thus said engine is devoid of packing glands and other devices which permit the loss of compression,'require frequent replacement, andare subject to undue wear.
The details of my invention are hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-.-
Fig. 1 is a more or less diagrammatic illustration of an internal combustion engine of the two-stroke cycle Diesel .type in which the cylinders are arranged at oblique angles with regard to each other and operate a crank shaft lying intermediate the adjacent ends of said cylinders;
Applicationoctober 20," 1933, Serial N0. 694,438
Fig. 2 is a transverse section thru one of the cylinders of said engine and taken on the line 2-2 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a more or less diagrammatic plan view of anengine in which two cylinders are arranged 5 in lateral and longitudinal alinement, with the crank. shaft arranged intermediate said cylinders, said engine being shown as being of the four-stroke cycle type: and
Fig. 4 is a larger scaled longitudinal section 10 thru one of said cylinders when of Diesel design.
In the adaptation of my invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2, two cylinders a make approximately a angle-with respect to each other and each cylinder operatively houses a double-acting 15 piston b therein. Two firing chambers c are arranged in said cylinders, one at each end and thus one firing chamber is effective with regard to one head-of the piston and the other firing chamber is eflective with regard to the other piston head. Said engine is shown as being of the two-stroke cycle Diesel type and is provided with intake passageways d arranged at oblique angles with respect to the piston travel and exhaust passageways e'extending substantially. normal to 25 said piston travel. Extending substantially diametrically thru said piston and intermediate the heads thereof is a piston pin j which extends thru elongated slots g in the cylinder. A crosshead is arranged upon each end of each piston pin and said crossheads bear in guides g arranged upon each face of the elongated slot. The operating play between the piston pin, the crosshead and the guideis substantially less than the operating play between the sides of the piston and of the cylinder. It is to be noted in both modifications of my invention that the cylinders are adapted to be arranged so that the piston travel has a horizontal component and thus the weight of the piston would tend to bear in part, at least, upon the bore of the cylinders were it not for the piston pins extending thru the'cylinder walls and being supported by the crossheads.
Thus in operation the crossheads support the and the, walls of the cylinders in which said pis- 5 tons operate. Connecting rodsi are secured to the ends of thepiston pins and to the crank shaft 7'. That is, a connecting rod is arranged at each side of each cylinder, being secured to the piston pin extending thru the walls of said cylinder, and the pair of connecting rods for each cylinder is joined to the crank shaft.
As is shown in Fig. 1, the throw or crank arm 1 of the crank shaft 7' is arranged so that it is substantially in alinement with the left-hand cylinder shown in said Fig. 1. The piston in said left-hand cylinder is at its upper dead center or point of reciprocation and the piston in the right-hand. cylinder is midway between upper as being contained in the central tank I: and fuel is supplied from the tank 1. Conventional fuel injectors m are indicated at both ends of each cylinder. Said injectors are operated by push rods 11 engaged and operated by the movement of the piston pins of each of the pistons. The push rods are returned to their inoperative position by coil springs 0.
In the modification of my invention shown in Fig. 3, the cylinders p are arranged in lateral and longitudinal alinement, being spaced apart, and have a crank shaft q mounted transversely between them. The pistons, the exhaust and intake passageways, piston pins, crossheads and other auxiliary devices operating in connection with said cylinders are identical to those shown in the previous adaptation of my invention and the same reference characters are given to said parts as were given to the adaptation of my invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and described with relation thereto.
Connecting said piston pins 1, however, in this modification are two members 1' which together form a frame and thus the pistonsinsaid two opposed cylinders operate as a connected unit. Thus but two connecting rods are required for the two cylinders and each cylinder being double acting thus provides four firing chambers acting thru but two connecting rods which are arranged in a pair. The modification shown in Fig. 3 is of the four-stroke cycle type and is provided with valves s and t controlling the intake and exhaust respectively from eachof the firing chambers in the cylinders. Cams, 0 carried by the crank shaft q engage push rods u, which are shown diagrammatically to operate the intakein the cylinder-walls. It is preferable that the piston pins be separate from the pistons but fit relatively tightly therein and the crossheads be separate from said piston pins, so that the parts are free to expand under the heat generated in operating the engine without imposing: undue stresses upon the other operating parts of the engine. As is apparent'to persons skilled in they 'ever, to provide separate piston pins and crossheads for the purposes set out and to secure larger wearing surfaces and convenient replacement of worn parts. As has been pointed out, it is desirable that there be substantially less play between the crossheads, their guides, and the piston pin than between the piston and the cylinder walls, so that the weight of the piston and lateralthrust thereof can be taken upon said crosshead guides, to relieve friction between the piston and the cylinder walls. The piston rings b therefore must function only to seal the compression about the pistons and the frictional drag of the piston heads within the bore of the cylinder is thus minimized. The piston thus serves as a relatively floating body which is shuttled back and forth between two firing chambers with a minimum amount of friction and resistance to motion.
