Description
STARTING AND ELECTRICITY GENERATING SYSTEM FOR A RECIPROCATING ENGINE
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a starting and electricity generating system for a reciprocating engine .
BACKGROUND ART
As known, a starting system is usually used for starting reciprocating combustion engines, in which an electric starter causes the flywheel and the driving shaft connected thereto to rotate for a few seconds .
In many technical applications the flywheel (made with relatively large diameters) has a ring gear on its periphery which meshes (only at the start-up) with a pinion fitted on the output shaft of the electric starter.
The reciprocating engine is also used to rotationally feed an electric generator, in turn used to meet the power supply needs' of the vehicles in which the reciprocating engine is installed. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
It is the object of the present invention to implement a starting and electricity generating system in which the electric starter, the electric generator of the vehicle and the flywheel are integrated in a single unit, thus simplifying the structure of the engine itself, improving reliability thereof and reducing its
costs .
The aforesaid object is achieved by the present invention as it relates to a starting and electricity- generating system for a reciprocating engine in which at least one piston is movable in opposite directions within a respective combustion chamber to rotate a driving shaft coupled to a flywheel adapted to dynamically absorb a part of the driving torque generated during the active working phases of the piston in order to return it during the phases in which the piston absorbs work, characterized in that the flywheel consists of a rotor of an electric, reversible axial flow machine which has a stator carried by the engine.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will now be disclosed with reference to the accompanying drawings which show a non-limitative embodiment thereof, in which: figure 1 shows a starting and electricity generating system made according to the dictates of the present invention and applied to a reciprocating engine; figure 2 shows a wiring diagram of the starter/generator in figure 1; figure 3 shows a first detail of the starter/generator in figure 1; and - ' figure 4 shows a second detail of the starter/generator in figure 1.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In figure 1, numeral 1 indicates as a whole a
reciprocating engine provided with a starting and electricity generating system made according to the present invention.
The reciprocating engine 1 is provided with a plurality of pistons 2 (four in the example shown) which are linearly movable in a reciprocating direction along respective cylindrical combustion chambers 4 made in an engine body 5.
Pistons 2 are connected by means of a rod-crank system 7 to a driving shaft 9 (also named crankshaft) which generates a power output of the engine 1.
Engine 1 is further provided with a feeding/exhaust system in which a plurality of valves 12a, 12b actuated by a camshaft 13, fed by the driving shaft 9, supply the combustible gas mixture to the combustion chambers 4 and exhaust the exhausted gases in an already known manner.
Engine 1 is further provided with a lubrication system (already known) , in which lubricant oil flows into pipes (not shown) of the engine 1 thus lubricating movable parts of the engine itself and is collected in an oil sump 14 carried by a crankcase of the engine body 5.
The above-disclosed structure of engine 1 is absolutely standard and therefore will not be described in further detail. The embodiment relates to a four- stroke engine (an Otto cycle engine or a Diesel engine) , but the invention is also applied to other engines, e.g. two-stroke engines (not shown) with or without feeding
valves .
As known, reciprocating engines are characterized by continuous oscillations of the produced driving torque due to the nature of the mechanical power generating process which includes a sequence of operating states, or phases, in which piston 2 alternatively serves a predominantly driving function
(phase of expanding the gases in the combustion chamber
4) and then a braking function (phase of compressing the combustible mixture) .
Furthermore, the piston 2 and the rod-crank system 7 connected thereto undergo continuous linear speed variations, moving between two stop states (top dead center and bottom dead center) at which the speed changes direction; such sudden speed variations result in further oscillations of the driving torque available at driving shaft 9.
In order to reduce the oscillations of the torque present on the driving shaft, all known reciprocating engines are provided with a flywheel directly mounted to the driving shaft 9 and adapted to dynamically absorb a part of the driving torque generated in the active working phases of the piston in order to return it during the phases in which the piston absorbs work instead.
According to the present invention, the flywheel consists of a rotor 20 of an electric, reversible axial flow machine 21 (of known type) , which has a stator 24
carried by the body of the engine 1. As it will be explained below, the electric reversible axial flow machine 21 may work both as motor and as current generator . In greater detail, rotor 20 comprises at least two plates 26a and 26b made of non-magnetic metal material, of suitable weight and size adapted to achieve the required moment of inertia for the smooth operation of the reciprocating engine, which carry a plurality of permanent magnets 27 angularly spaced from one another and facing the stator 24 on a peripheral annular portion thereof facing the stator. The permanent magnets 27 typically have a flat trapezoidal shape and are arranged in groups (figure 3); the angular spacing between the magnets within the groups being smaller than the angular reciprocal spacing between the groups . Such an arrangement of the permanent magnets 27 contributes to decreasing cogging phenomena which may occur during the rotating step of the electric, axial flow machine 21. In the embodiment shown, the flywheel comprises a first plate 26a and a second plate 26b, which are coaxial, axially spaced from each other and carry first and second reciprocally facing permanent magnets 27a, 27b. ' Stator 24 (figure 2) comprises a plurality of stator windings 28 which extend, at least in part, into the gap existing between the first and second plates 26a, 26b, the first and second magnets 27a, 27b being
arranged on opposite sides with respect to the stator windings 28.
The first and second plates 26a, 26b are
' mechanically carried by a short . cylindrical sleeve 30 which is coaxial to the plates 2βa, 26b and provided, at a first end, with an annular flange 32 firmly connected to one end of the driving shaft 9. A second end of the cylindrical sleeve 30 outputs the torque produced by the engine 1, e.g. the second end is connected to the inlet of a transmission (not shown) .
The stator 24 (figure 4) comprises a toroidal core 24 made of magnetic material which carries a plurality of turns 35 equally spaced from one another along the whole circumference of the toroidal core 34. In greater detail, the toroidal core 34 has a substantially rectangular cross-section and is formed by a plurality of metal foils reciprocally sandwiched according to known techniques in order to reduce eddy currents . ' Each turn 35 has a rectangular peripheral section with curved sides and consists of a metal conductor
(usually a copper strap coated with a layer of insulating paint, not shown) wound about the core 34.
Turns 35 are further connected to one another in order to form first, second and third stator windings 28a, 28b and 28c (figure 2) of the electric machine 21, of three- phase type.
Two reciprocally facing turns 35 (figure 4) and an
external wall of the core 4 delimit an approximately- parallelepiped-shaped space; such a space accommodates a trapezoidal-section, metal tooth 37, which is arranged between two facing turns 35. A cylindrical tubular wall 42 defines a cavity which accommodates stator 24, turns 35 and teeth 37. The turns 35 are arranged with a shorter side parallel and adjacent to the cylindrical tubular wall 42 and with the teeth 37 facing the tubular cylindrical wall 24. A hardened resin ensures the firm connection of the toroidal core 34, turns 35 and teeth 37 to the tubular cylindrical wall 42.
The cylindrical tubular wall 42 is connected to the crankcase of the engine 1 through a flange 50 (figure 1) .
In use, to start the engine 1, a three-phase power voltage controlled in width and frequency is supplied to the windings 28a, 28b and 28c of stator 24 so as to create a rotating magnetic field which causes the plates 2βa, 2βb and driving shaft 9 to rotate.
Such three-phase voltage is provided (figure 2) by a DC-AC converter 60 adapted to choke a direct voltage supplied by a battery.
The electric axial flow machine 21 thus acts as starter of the reciprocating engine 1.
Two components existing in traditional reciprocating engines, and namely the electric starter with the corresponding electromagnet coupling and
release system provided with coupling gears, are thus eliminated.
The electric starter function is indeed directly performed by the electric axial flow machine 21, the rotors 26a, 26b of which also serve the flywheel function.
The use of the DC/AC converter 60 allows to control the start-up torque of engine 1 so as to reduce and optimize the electric power required at the start-up. When the reciprocating engine 1 rotates, the electric axial flow machine 21 behaves as generator and outputs a three-phase voltage, which is leveled out by the converter 60 which, being of reversible type, also provides an AC/DC conversion. The converter 60 further adjusts the voltage produced by the electric axial flow machine 21 which may not be intrinsically adjusted by generating a three-phase alternating output voltage according to the engine rotation speed and the load impedance . Such a direct voltage may be used to supply various electric utilities.
A starting and electricity generating system "embedded" into the reciprocating engine is thus made, which integrates the functions of starting and electricity generating with those of a flywheel, thus allowing a considerable simplification of the engine geometry, a high reduction of the total weight of the engine itself, an improvement of the working reliability
and a reduction of the maintenance required for conventional, i.e. non-brushless, starters and generators .
