Abstract

A modular revolving cylinder engine including at least two interdependent flywheels driven in rotation by a driving device ( 1 ) that rotates them in synchronization and in opposite directions. Each flywheel includes a plurality of equally spaced hollow pushrods that are reciprocally movable along stroke lines that are parallel and offset with respect to the central axis of rotation thereof and through which combustion gases from associated combustion chambers pass outwardly of the flywheels. End portions of the opposing pushrods engage during each rotation of the opposing flywheels during which time the oppositely directed combustion gases passing through the pushrods impinge on the outer end portion of the opposite pushrod to thereby provide thrust to drive the opposing flywheel in rotation in opposite directions.

Description

MOTEUR MODULAIRE ROTATIF A EXPLOSIONS TANGENTIELLES MODULAR ROTARY MOTOR WITH TANGENTIAL EXPLOSIONS
La présente invention concerne la conception d'un moteur modulaire rotatif à explosions tangentielles fonctionnant sans piston, ni bielle, ni vilebrequin, ni arbre à cames, ni soupape.The present invention relates to the design of a rotary modular engine with tangential explosions operating without piston, rod, crankshaft, camshaft or valve.
Actuellement encore, la généralité des moteurs à explosions en usage, sont des moteurs à pistons alternatifs à explosions, dont le principe mécanique a vu le jour, il y a déjà plus d'un siècle.Even today, the generality of explosion engines in use, are reciprocating explosion piston engines, the mechanical principle of which was born more than a century ago.
Mais il est su que ce système a l'inconvénient majeur de ne délivrer dans les moteurs à quatre temps qu'une phase moteur efficace de 12,5 % et dans les moteurs deux temps de 23,6 %. D'où un rendement des plus médiocre de ce système alternatif qui prend de l'âge et qui devrait être remplacé par un système rotatif mécaniquement plus logique donc finalement et certainement plus économique.But it is known that this system has the major drawback of delivering in four-stroke engines only an efficient engine phase of 12.5% and in two-stroke engines of 23.6%. Hence the most mediocre performance of this aging alternative system which should be replaced by a mechanically more rotary rotary system therefore ultimately and certainly more economical.
De plus, ces moteurs à technique désuète sont lourds et encombrants et composés de beaucoup de pièces en mouvement soumises à des contraintes thermiques importantes par les frottements inutiles et parasites intenses qu'elles subissent.In addition, these obsolete technique motors are heavy and bulky and composed of many moving parts subjected to significant thermal stresses due to the unnecessary friction and intense parasites that they undergo.
Afin de faire mieux tourner « ronds » ces dits moteurs, les constructeurs se sont trouvés dans l'obligation de multiplier le nombre de cylindres pour pallier à ces temps morts parasites et antagonistes de chaque cycle. Or malgré toutes sortes d'améliorations dont entre autre des dispositifs annexes de meilleur remplissage des cylindres, ces moteurs même très sophistiqués, sont très loin d'avoir un fonctionnement souple et harmonieux.In order to make these so-called engines run better "round", the manufacturers found themselves obliged to multiply the number of cylinders to compensate for these parasitic and antagonistic idle times of each cycle. However, despite all kinds of improvements including, among other things, devices for better filling of the cylinders, these engines, even very sophisticated, are far from having a flexible and harmonious operation.
Il a donc été cherché, si un système rotatif exploitant tangentiellement la puissance des explosions, ne pourrait pas être susceptible de remplacer dans certaines applications mécaniques, ce système à pistons alternatifs désuet.It has therefore been sought, if a rotary system tangentially exploiting the power of explosions, could not be capable of replacing, in certain mechanical applications, this obsolete reciprocating piston system.
C'est précisément le but principal de cette invention, de tenter de remédier à tous les inconvénients du moteur à pistons alternatifs qui ne fournit par cylindre au cycle à quatre temps qu'un temps moteur par deux tours, alors qu'un seul module de ce moteur est capable de fournir plusieurs temps moteur par tour, d'où un possible ralenti, très lent.This is precisely the main purpose of this invention, to try to remedy all the drawbacks of the reciprocating piston engine which only supplies a cylinder to the four-stroke cycle with one engine time per two revolutions, while only one module this engine is capable of providing several engine times per revolution, hence a very slow idle.
Afin d'exploiter directement, c'est-à-dire d'une façon tangentielle la puissance des explosions, la technique imaginée dans la conception de ce moteur a été de monter décalés sur une parallèle à la ligne passant par le centre de chaque volant et à une distance rigoureusement identique, des groupes d'éléments indispensables à la récupération optimum de cette puissance d'explosion, ces groupes étant répartis à intervalles parfaitement égaux sur la périphérie des volants, chaque groupe étant positionné de telle sorte que son axe propre est parallèle à cette ligne du centre à une distance de celle-ci identique pour tous les groupes.In order to exploit directly, that is to say in a tangential way the power of the explosions, the technique imagined in the design of this engine was to mount offset on a parallel to the line passing through the center of each flywheel and at a strictly identical distance, groups of elements essential for optimum recovery of this explosion power, these groups being distributed at perfectly equal intervals on the periphery of the flywheels, each group being positioned so that its own axis is parallel to this center line at a distance from the same line for all groups.
Ces groupes d'éléments étant, en référence aux dessins qui s'y rapportent, des porte poussoirs (5) communicant avec leur chambre (4) et orifices pour bougies (8), des poussoirs creux (7 et 7 B) coulissants dans leur porte poussoir (5) et leur ressort de compression (6). Selon une première caractéristique, ce moteur est composé de deux volants d'admission (Va) parfaitement en ligne dans un même plan perpendiculaire à leur axe respectif, interdépendants en rotation par un système d'entraînement sans glissement (1 ) qui les fait tourner synchronisés et à vitesse absolument égale dans le sens inverse l'un de l'autre.These groups of elements being, with reference to the drawings which relate thereto, pusher holders (5) communicating with their chamber (4) and orifices for candles (8), hollow plungers (7 and 7B) sliding in their pusher holder (5) and their compression spring (6). According to a first characteristic, this engine is composed of two intake flywheels (Va) perfectly in line in the same plane perpendicular to their respective axis, interdependent in rotation by a non-slip drive system (1) which rotates them synchronized and at absolutely equal speed in opposite directions to each other.
Ces volants comportent sur leur pourtour et à intervalles parfaitement égaux, le même nombre de groupes décalés selon la technique explicitée ci- avant, comprenant : des porte poussoirs (5) avec chambre (4) et orifices pour bougies (8), poussoirs creux coulissants (7) ou (7 B) ressorts de compression (6).These flywheels have on their periphery and at perfectly equal intervals, the same number of groups offset according to the technique explained above, comprising: push holders (5) with chamber (4) and orifices for candles (8), hollow sliding pushers (7) or (7 B) compression springs (6).
Ces volants sont fixés par leur arbre respectif sur un support commun rigide et parfaitement indéformable, afin que la distance séparant leur centre une fois réglée soit parfaitement invariable.These flywheels are fixed by their respective shafts on a rigid common support that is perfectly undeformable, so that the distance separating their center once set is perfectly invariable.
Ils comportent chacun autant de lumières (3) que de chambres (4) et d'orifices pour bougies (8), et tournent libres par moyeux ou paliers sur leur arbre creux qui comporte la lumière d'admission (2).They each have as many lights (3) as there are chambers (4) and orifices for candles (8), and rotate freely by hubs or bearings on their hollow shaft which includes the intake light (2).
Le système d'entraînement (1 ) qui rend les deux volants interdépen- dants en rotation en les faisant tourner en sens inverse l'un par rapport à l'autre, est calé de façon telle qu'à chaque tour de volant, chaque poussoir (7) d'un volant, vient toujours s'imbriquer au même poussoir (7 B) qui lui correspond de l'autre volant.The drive system (1) which makes the two steering wheels interdependent in rotation by rotating them in opposite directions with respect to each other, is set so that each turn of the steering wheel, each pusher (7) of a steering wheel, always comes to nest on the same pusher (7 B) which corresponds to it of the other steering wheel.
C'est d'ailleurs pendant cette imbrication que le flux détonnant pénétrant en même temps par chaque arbre d'admission (9), remplit simultanément à travers les lumières (2) et (3) chaque chambre (4) et son poussoir creux correspondant (7) ou (7B). La force motrice est recueillie par un pignon engrené au système d'entraînement (1 ) ou par un arbre coaxial intégral à l'un des engrenages intermédiaire. Chaque poussoir (7 et 7 B) comporte à l'extrémité de son conduit un rétrécissement en forme d'entonnoir faisant office de tuyère, permettant une plus grande vitesse de sortie des gaz à l'instant de l'explosion, ainsi qu' une force de réaction plus importante appliquée sur chaque poussoir. De plus, la pression interne étant plus grande par le rétrécissement, les deux poussoirs imbriqués subissent une poussée plus importante l'un vers 30 l'autre, favorisant l'étanchéité.It is moreover during this overlapping that the detonating flow penetrating at the same time by each intake shaft (9), simultaneously fills through the lights (2) and (3) each chamber (4) and its corresponding hollow pusher. (7) or (7B). The driving force is collected by a pinion geared to the drive system (1) or by a coaxial shaft integral with one of the intermediate gears. Each pusher (7 and 7 B) has at the end of its conduit a narrowing in the form of a funnel acting as a nozzle, allowing a greater gas exit speed at the time of the explosion, as well as a greater reaction force applied to each pusher. In addition, the internal pressure being greater by the narrowing, the two nested pushers undergo a greater push towards one another, promoting sealing.
Lorsque la lumière d'admission (2) et la lumière de la chambre (3) ne sont plus en correspondance, mais avant que les deux poussoirs (7 et 7 B) imbriqués ne se désolidarisent, une étincelle jaillit à chaque bougie faisant exploser le flux détonnant dont les chambres (4) et les poussoirs creux (7 et 7B) sont remplis.When the intake light (2) and the light of the chamber (3) are no longer in correspondence, but before the two nested pushers (7 and 7 B) separate, a spark emerges at each candle exploding the explosive flow with which the chambers (4) and the hollow pushers (7 and 7B) are filled.
L'augmentation violente de pression des gaz engendrée par cette explosion fusant violemment par les conduits des poussoirs opposés, les fait s'écarter.The violent increase in gas pressure caused by this explosion violently firing through the pipes of the opposite pushers, causes them to move away.
Les poussoirs étant solidaires des volants dont les axes sont immuables, ces volants sont donc mécaniquement destinataires de cette force tangentielle qui les fait tourner simultanément en sens opposé.The pushers being integral with the flywheels whose axes are immutable, these flywheels are therefore mechanically recipients of this tangential force which makes them rotate simultaneously in the opposite direction.
Le même processus se répétant et s'appliquant successivement aux poussoirs imbriqués suivants, engendre la force motrice rotative. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente une vue d'ensemble et une coupe partielle des éléments constitutifs du moteur.The same process repeating itself and applying successively to the following nested pushers, generates the rotary motive force. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows an overview and a partial section of the components of the engine.
La figure 2 représente une vue d'ensemble et une coupe partielle des éléments constitutifs d'une variante de ce moteur. La figure 3 représente une vue des basculeurs et leur principe de fonctionnement.FIG. 2 represents an overall view and a partial section of the constituent elements of a variant of this engine. FIG. 3 represents a view of the rockers and their operating principle.
La figure 4 représente dans une réalisation particulière de ce moteur, une vue agrandie des ergots sur les porte poussoirs et l'emplacement du bouclier (23) sur un poussoir à tête boule (7).FIG. 4 shows in a particular embodiment of this motor, an enlarged view of the pins on the pusher holders and the location of the shield (23) on a pusher with a ball head (7).
Les figures 5 - 6 et 7 montrent les trois temps consécutifs qui forment un cycle moteur par chaque imbrication.Figures 5 - 6 and 7 show the three consecutive times which form a motor cycle by each nesting.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 1 , le module de moteur comporte deux volants d'admission (Va) un système d'entraînement par deux engrenages (1 ) qui rend ces volants solidaires en rotation en les faisant tourner en sens inverse l'un par rapport à l'autre, douze porte poussoirs (5) et leur ergot (20) six poussoirs creux coulissants (7) ou (7 B) avec collerette (10) et ressort de compression (6) douze étriers (15) et talon (21 ) basculeur (16) à contrepoids (12) axe (14) ressort (22).

Ce moteur devrait être enfermé dans un carter pour éviter les nuisances sonores dues aux explosions, avec une sortie d'échappement placée un peu plus haut que le fonds, afin de permettre la récupération du lubrifiant qui ne doit pas être expulsé par l'échappement.This engine should be enclosed in a casing to avoid noise pollution due to explosions, with an exhaust outlet placed a little higher than the bottom, in order to allow the recovery of the lubricant which must not be expelled by the exhaust.
Le refroidissement du carter peut s'effectuer par air à l'aide d'ailettes dont il pourrait être muni lors de son moulage en fonderie ou rapportées ou par circulation d'eau ou d'huile dans son épaisseur ou sa double paroi ou tout autre moyen adéquate. Dans ce moteur, les frottements les plus importants étant ceux générés par l'imbrication des poussoirs (7) et (7 B) et leur courte course linéaire, leur lubrification pourrait être effectuée, à titre d'exemple, par un brouillard de lubrifiant sous pression dirigé vers les poussoirs et les supports de poussoirs. Ce lubrifiant serait facilement récupéré dans le fond du carter et réinjecté dans le système après avoir traversé au préalable et éventuellement si besoin, un radiateur de refroidissement.The cooling of the casing can be carried out by air using fins which it could be provided with during its molding in foundry or attached or by circulation of water or oil in its thickness or its double wall or any other adequate means. In this engine, the most significant friction being that generated by the nesting of the pushers (7) and (7 B) and their short linear stroke, their lubrication could be carried out, for example, by a mist of lubricant under pressure directed towards the tappets and the tappet supports. This lubricant would be easily recovered from the bottom of the casing and reinjected into the system after having previously passed through and possibly if necessary, a cooling radiator.
Les faisceaux d'allumage devraient être protégés de façon à ce qu'ils ne soient pas exposés à l'effet des explosions. La partie des poussoirs (7 et 7 B) assurant le contact d'imbrication, devrait être fabriquée en matériaux très résistants (acier traité, titane, etc.. ) ou en partie recouvertes de céramique et de matières antifriction et comportant soit des rainures ou un ou plusieurs segments d'étanchéité.Ignition harnesses should be protected so that they are not exposed to the effect of explosions. The part of the pushers (7 and 7 B) ensuring the nesting contact, should be made of very resistant materials (treated steel, titanium, etc.) or partly covered with ceramic and anti-friction materials and comprising either grooves or one or more sealing segments.
Les basculeurs et leur contrepoids pourraient être fabriqués en acier ou en fonte aciérée, les axes en acier traité.The rockers and their counterweights could be made of steel or steel, the axes of treated steel.
Les volants pourraient être fabriqués en matériaux légers (aluminium traité ou aciéré ou composites) pour obtenir plus de nervosité, ou en matière plus lourde (acier ou fonte) pour obtenir plus de puissance.The flywheels could be made of light materials (treated or steel or composite aluminum) to obtain more nervousness, or of heavier material (steel or cast iron) to obtain more power.
Selon sa conception, chaque moteur formant un module, fonctionne avec un nombre quelconque mais égal par volant, supports de poussoirs avec chambre, poussoirs, basculeurs, etc., généralement de 3 à 6 par volant.According to its design, each motor forming a module, operates with any number but equal by flywheel, supports of pushers with chamber, pushers, rockers, etc., generally from 3 to 6 per flywheel.
Il peut être formé des moteurs de plusieurs modules moteur réunis de l'une des deux versions, soit chacun de ces modules moteur décalé angulairement par rapport au précédent pour obtenir des moteurs tournant comme des turbines, soit angulairement non décalé afin d'obtenir une résultante de force d'explosions multipliée ou de faire un panachage de modules décalés et non décalés.It can be formed from the motors of several motor modules joined to one of the two versions, either each of these motor modules offset angularly with respect to the previous one to obtain motors turning like turbines, or angularly not offset in order to obtain a resultant increased explosion force or a mix of offset and non-offset modules.
Toutes combinaisons étant possibles au gré de chacun, pour satisfaire toutes nécessités. Ce moteur est compatible pour un fonctionnement aux carburants liquides et gazeux.All combinations are possible at the discretion of each, to meet all needs. This engine is compatible for operation with liquid and gaseous fuels.
Le cycle moteur se compose de trois temps : 1 - Admission 2- Explosion 3- Echappement. The engine cycle consists of three stages: 1 - Admission 2- Explosion 3- Exhaust.
