サイクロイド往復動機関並びにこのクランク機構を用いたポンプ装置 技術分野  Cycloid reciprocating engine and pump device using this crank mechanism

[0001] 本発明は、いわゆるリニアクランク式の往復動機関に関するものであって、特に振 動の低減、摩擦損失の低減及びクランクケースの所要剛性の低減化に加えて、機関 のコンパクトィ匕ゃ滑らかな動きの達成等を図るべく改良し、その実用化の途を開いた サイクロイド往復動機関並びにこのクランク機構を用いたポンプ装置に係るものであ る。  The present invention relates to a so-called linear crank type reciprocating engine, and in particular, in addition to reduction of vibration, reduction of friction loss and reduction of required rigidity of a crankcase, the compactness of the engine. The present invention relates to a cycloid reciprocating engine which has been improved to achieve smooth movement and the like and has been put to practical use, and a pump apparatus using this crank mechanism.

背景技術  Background art

[0002] 従来から、リニアクランク機構を用いた往復動機関やポンプ装置 (コンプレッサを含 む)が提案されている。このものは、ピストンの往復動をクランク機構により回転運動に 変えるにあたり、クランク軸を左右の偏心クランク部材で支承し、クランク軸とクランク ケースとの間に遊星ギヤ機構を介在させることにより、クランク軸を遊星運動させ、ピ ストンロッドの下端が直線軌跡上を移動するような構成としたものである。  Conventionally, a reciprocating engine and a pump device (including a compressor) using a linear crank mechanism have been proposed. In order to change the reciprocating motion of the piston into a rotational motion by the crank mechanism, the crankshaft is supported by the left and right eccentric crank members, and the planetary gear mechanism is interposed between the crankshaft and the crankcase. The planetary rod is moved in a planetary motion, and the bottom end of the piston rod moves on a straight locus.

ところで、このようなリニアクランク機構は、出力機関、ポンプ、コンプレッサの分野で 応用の可能性を広く有しているものの、構造が複雑で大きぐ更に滑らかな動きに難 があるため、現実にはその普及はほとんど進んでいない。  By the way, although such a linear crank mechanism has wide applicability in the fields of output engines, pumps, and compressors, the structure is complicated and large, and it is difficult to perform smooth movement. Its diffusion has hardly progressed.

し力、しながら、この種のリニアクランク機構は、ピストンロッドが往復直線運動である ので、シリンダとピストンとの間の好ましくなレ、スラスト応力の発生を回避できる点や、 パワーロスが少なレ、点、往復質量の慣性による力及びトルクの不つりあレ、を除去でき るため振動を低減できる点、更にロングストローク化が容易であり、層状燃焼、希薄燃 焼等に適した機関ができる点など、従来型の往復動機関に比べて優位性を有するこ とは、十分評価し得るものである(特許文献 1)。  However, in this type of linear crank mechanism, the piston rod has a reciprocating linear motion, so that it is possible to avoid favorable thrust between the cylinder and the piston, generation of thrust stress, and low power loss. The point is that the balance of force and torque due to the inertia of the reciprocating mass can be removed, so that vibration can be reduced, and it is easy to make a longer stroke, making it possible to create an engine suitable for stratified combustion, lean combustion, etc. Thus, it can be well evaluated that it has an advantage over conventional reciprocating engines (Patent Document 1).

Further, since these techniques are already well known, detailed explanations thereof are omitted.

実施例 1  Example 1

[0035] 本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eは、単位ユニット機関 E2を 2基具えた単位コン ポーネント機関 E4を N (N= 1、 2、 3、 · ·)基を組み合わせることによって構成されるも のである。なお、符号 Eに添えられた数字は、シリンダの数に因むものであり、例えば 後述する符号 E8は、シリンダが合計で 8基具えられていることを示している。  [0035] The cycloidal reciprocating engine E of the present invention is configured by combining N (N = 1, 2, 3,...) Units component engines E4 having two unit unit engines E2. It is. The number attached to the symbol E is based on the number of cylinders. For example, the symbol E8 described later indicates that eight cylinders are provided in total.

まず基本構成となる単位ユニット機関 E2は、大別するとクランクケース 1とこれに支 持されるクランク軸 2、及びクランクケース 1に取り付けられたシリンダ 11内を往復運動 するピストンユニット 3、及び前記ピストンユニット 3とクランク軸 2との間に介在する規 制遊星ギヤ機構 4とを主要部材とするものである。  First, the basic unit engine unit E2 is roughly divided into a crankcase 1, a crankshaft 2 supported by the crankcase 1, a piston unit 3 reciprocating in a cylinder 11 attached to the crankcase 1, and the piston. The control planetary gear mechanism 4 interposed between the unit 3 and the crankshaft 2 is a main member.

そして図 1等に示した実施例 1のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eは、請求項 1でレ、う単位 コンポーネント機関 E4を一基具えたものであって、従ってそのシリンダ 11の配置は、 水平対向 4気筒である。  The cycloid reciprocating engine E of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and the like has a single unit component engine E4 according to claim 1, and therefore the cylinder 11 is arranged horizontally. Cylinder.

[0036] 次に構成する各部材につレ、て説明する。 まずクランクケース 1は、図 1、図 2に示すように適宜の強度を有するダイキャスト等 により構成されるものであって、クランクケース 1には更にその側方に張り出すように 別体のシリンダ 11を一例として 4基を配設し、更にそれぞれにシリンダヘッド 12を取り 付けている。 [0036] Next, explanation will be given on each member constituting. First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the crankcase 1 is constituted by die casting having an appropriate strength, and the crankcase 1 is a separate cylinder so as to protrude further to the side. As an example, 4 units are installed, and a cylinder head 12 is attached to each.

更に、クランクケース 1には、その中央に軸受部材としてセンタージャーナルベアリ ング 13を設けるとともに、その前後外側近くにサイドジャーナルベアリング 14を設ける もちろん、このサイドジャーナルベアリング 14の配置位置の説明について、前後と レ、うのは後述するクランク軸 2の長手方向を縦方向として説明するためであり、例えば サイクロイド往復動機関 Eを自動車、モーターサイクル等に用いた場合には自動車等 の前後方向によりその前後ではなく側方と表現したほうが適切となる場合があること はいうまでもない。  Further, the crankcase 1 is provided with a center journal bearing 13 as a bearing member in the center thereof, and a side journal bearing 14 near the front and rear outside thereof. Of course, the explanation of the arrangement position of the side journal bearing 14 is For example, when the cycloid reciprocating engine E is used in an automobile, a motorcycle, etc., the longitudinal direction of the crankshaft 2 to be described later depends on the longitudinal direction of the automobile. Needless to say, it may be more appropriate to express it as side.

[0037] 次にこのようなクランクケース 1に対して回転自在に支持されるクランク軸 2につレ、て 説明する。まずクランク軸 2は、図示のように従来の機関でレ、うクランクボスの機能も 兼ね備えるクランクウェブ 21において、前記センタージャーナルベアリング 13に支持 されるものであり、クランクウェブ 21は、その中央に伝達ギヤ 22を配した構成をとる。  Next, explanation will be given on the crankshaft 2 that is rotatably supported by such a crankcase 1. First, the crankshaft 2 is supported by the center journal bearing 13 in a crank web 21 that also functions as a crank boss in a conventional engine as shown in the figure, and the crank web 21 is transmitted to the center thereof. The gear 22 is arranged.

[0038] そして、このクランクウェブ 21力ら、それぞれ軸方向に並ぶシリンダ 11の基部側に 伸びるようにクランクピン 23が延長形成され、そのクランクピン 23は、それぞれの端部 のクランクウェブ 24において、前記クランクケース 1に設けられたサイドジャーナルべ ァリング 14に回転自在に支持されている。この一対のクランクピン 23のクランク角度 は 180° である。  [0038] Then, a crank pin 23 is formed so as to extend from the crank web 21 force to the base side of the cylinder 11 aligned in the axial direction, and the crank pin 23 is formed at each end of the crank web 24. The side journal bearing 14 provided in the crankcase 1 is rotatably supported. The crank angle of the pair of crank pins 23 is 180 °.

なおその外側においては、オイルシール Sによる気密作用を受けている。 このクランク軸 2の更に両端部には、請求項 2で言うエンドバランサに相当するクラン ク軸バランサ 25が組み付けられているものであり、図 2、図 3に示すようにそれぞれバ ランサの状態は両端部において対向するような位置に設定されている。  In addition, the outer side is subjected to an airtight action by the oil seal S. The crankshaft balancer 25 corresponding to the end balancer described in claim 2 is assembled at both ends of the crankshaft 2, and the balancer state is as shown in FIGS. The positions are set so as to face each other at both ends.

[0039] 次に、往復動する部材であるピストンユニット 3について説明する。 Next, the piston unit 3 that is a reciprocating member will be described.

ピストンユニット 3は、図 4に示すように前記シリンダ 11内を往復動するものであり、 その一部であるピストン 31は気密性を保っためにその周縁にピストンリング 31aを具 える。このピストン 31の裏側からはピストンロッド 32が延長形成され、更にその端部の ロッドエンド 33が規制遊星ギヤ機構 4に連繋するように組み立てられている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the piston unit 3 reciprocates in the cylinder 11, and the piston 31, which is a part of the piston unit 3, is provided with a piston ring 31a on its periphery in order to maintain airtightness. Yeah. A piston rod 32 is formed to extend from the back side of the piston 31, and the rod end 33 at the end thereof is assembled so as to be connected to the regulating planetary gear mechanism 4.

そしてロッドエンド 33と規制遊星ギヤ機構 4とは、ロッドエンドベアリング 34を介して 互いに回転自在に組み立てられてレ、る。  The rod end 33 and the regulating planetary gear mechanism 4 are assembled to each other through a rod end bearing 34 so as to be rotatable.

[0040] また、ピストンユニット 3においては、ロッドエンド 33は、水平対向となっているピスト ン 31のそれぞれから伸びるピストンロッド 32に対して共有的に取り付けられており、 水平対向 2気筒分のピストンユニット 3は一体化されたいわゆるモノブロック状の形体 をとつている。従って、ロッドエンド 33は、その呼称にかかわらず部品形状としては、 ピストンユニット 3の中央に位置している。 [0040] Further, in the piston unit 3, the rod end 33 is commonly attached to the piston rod 32 extending from each of the horizontally opposed pistons 31, and the pistons for the horizontally opposed two cylinders. Unit 3 takes the form of an integrated so-called monoblock. Therefore, the rod end 33 is located in the center of the piston unit 3 as a part shape regardless of its name.

もちろん、ピストン 31の下端とロッドエンド 33との間にピン状の連接部材を介在させ ることももとより差し支えなレ、。  Of course, a pin-shaped connecting member is interposed between the lower end of the piston 31 and the rod end 33, so that it does not matter.

そして、このロッドエンド 33の部位には、円孔部が設けられており、この円孔部に対 し、ロッドエンドベアリング 34が内嵌めされるように組み合わされている。そして、この ロッドエンドベアリング 34に後述する自転偏心盤 41が内嵌めされるように組み合わさ れている。  A circular hole portion is provided in the portion of the rod end 33, and the rod end bearing 34 is combined with the circular hole portion so as to be fitted thereinto. The rod end bearing 34 is combined so that a rotation eccentric disc 41 described later is fitted therein.

[0041] ここで、ロッドエンド 33については、特許請求の範囲 1において水平対向状態の一 対のピストン 31は、ピストンロッド 32のロッドエンド 33を共有すると記載されている力 これは実質的にはロッドエンド 33の作用位置中心を共有していることを意味する。従 つてロッドエンド 33ついては、後述する直動誤差許容構造をとるべぐこの部位を 2分 割するような構造であってもよぐこの場合であってもロッドエンド 33は共有された態 様である。  [0041] Here, with respect to the rod end 33, the force described in claim 1 that the pair of pistons 31 in a horizontally opposed state share the rod end 33 of the piston rod 32. This means that the center of the action position of the rod end 33 is shared. Therefore, the rod end 33 may have a structure that divides this part into two parts, and the rod end 33 is in a shared state. is there.

因みに図 13に適用したピストンユニット 3は、強度を十分に維持しながら軽量化を 試み得る構成を有する。すなわち図中端面図で示すようにピストン 31の上端部とロッ ドエンド 33との間は、全体に薄板状を成し、更に側面視でその中央部を肉薄とし、相 対的に周縁部を肉厚のリブ状としているものである。図 13の端面図における符号 32 1は肉薄部を示し、符号 322は肉厚部を示す。  Incidentally, the piston unit 3 applied to FIG. 13 has a configuration in which weight reduction can be attempted while maintaining sufficient strength. That is, as shown in the end view in the figure, the upper end portion of the piston 31 and the rod end 33 are formed in a thin plate shape as a whole, and the central portion is thinned in a side view, and the peripheral portion is relatively thin. It has a thick rib shape. Reference numeral 321 in the end view of FIG. 13 indicates a thin portion, and reference numeral 322 indicates a thick portion.

[0042] なおこのようなピストン 31とピストンロッド 32とロッドエンド 33のコンパクトィ匕、ないし は薄型化を追求すると、ピストン 31そのものについても、図 18、 19、 20に示すように ピストンヘッドの面形状を円形とせず偏平なものとしてもよい。 [0042] When pursuing such a compact piston 31 and piston rod 32 and rod end 33 or a reduction in thickness, the piston 31 itself is also as shown in FIGS. The surface shape of the piston head may be flat rather than circular.

この実施例は、一例として長円状のピストンヘッド形状を採るものであるが、楕円状 、あるいは長円状であるものの長辺部分が幾分か外側に膨出湾曲した形態としても よい。このような構成は、ここに嵌め込まれるピストンリングの製造精度、製造の容易さ 等を考慮して適宜選択されるものである。そして、このような偏平ピストンを採用した 場合には、図 19に示すように機関の組立状態、すなわち単位コンポーネントにおい てもクランク軸 2方向の長さ寸法を著しく減少させることができる。  In this embodiment, an oval piston head shape is taken as an example. However, the long side portion of the oval shape or the oval shape may be bulged somewhat outward. Such a configuration is appropriately selected in consideration of the manufacturing accuracy and ease of manufacturing of the piston ring fitted therein. When such a flat piston is employed, the length dimension in the direction of the crankshaft 2 can be significantly reduced even in the assembled state of the engine, that is, in the unit component, as shown in FIG.

因みに図 19には、骨格的にピストンヘッド形状が円形のものを適用した際のクラン ク軸 2方向の長さ寸法 (シリンダ実質幅 W )をあわせて示したものであるが、偏平ビス  Incidentally, Fig. 19 also shows the length dimension (actual cylinder width W) in the two directions of the crankshaft when a skeleton-shaped piston head with a circular shape is applied.

ストンを用いたものに比べてほぼ 1Z2程度に抑えることが可能である。このように構 成することにより、クランク軸 2の軸方向アンバランス要素は、より中心に集中し、振動 発生要素の減少に寄与し得る。 It can be reduced to about 1Z2 compared to the one using a stone. By configuring in this way, the axial unbalance element of the crankshaft 2 can be more concentrated in the center and contribute to the reduction of vibration generating elements.

また円形ピストンタイプのものと比較すると、ストロークが同じときピストンユニット 3の 長さを短寸化できるので、シリンダ方向寸法 (機関長さ)も低減でき機関全体をコンパ タトに設計することが可能となる。  Compared with the circular piston type, the length of the piston unit 3 can be shortened when the stroke is the same, so the dimension in the cylinder direction (engine length) can be reduced and the entire engine can be designed in a compact manner. Become.

更にまた偏平ピストンヘッドは、クランク軸直角方向への自転偏心盤中心の微少揺 れの吸収にも適する。  Furthermore, the flat piston head is also suitable for absorbing slight fluctuations at the center of the rotating eccentric disk in the direction perpendicular to the crankshaft.

更にまたピストンユニット 3として見ると全体として平板状とすることができ、軽合金鍛 造等の手法で製造するにしても製造がし易ぐ小型化も容易に達成できる。  Further, when viewed as the piston unit 3, it can be formed into a flat plate as a whole, and even if it is manufactured by a method such as light alloy forging, it is easy to achieve downsizing.

また本実施例においては、上述したロッドエンドベアリング 34は、ピストンユニット 3 のロッドエンド 33の部位に対して直接取り付けるほか、図 4に示すように、可動ブロッ ク 35を介して取り付けるようにしてもよレ、。この可動ブロック 35は、一例としてその四 隅が隅とりされた矩形上の盤状部材であって、その中央部にロッドエンドベアリング 3 4を内嵌めするためのベアリング受入孔 35aが設けられているものである。そして、こ の可動ブロック 35は、ピストンユニット 3の中央部に設けられた可動ブロック受入孔 36 の微少摺動面 36fに対して微少摺動面 35fが極微のクリアランスで対面するように嵌 め込まれるものであって、ピストンユニット 3の往復運動方向と直交する方向には、幾 分かの可動ブロッククリアランス 35cを設けるように構成されてレ、る。 In the present embodiment, the rod end bearing 34 described above is directly attached to the rod end 33 portion of the piston unit 3 or may be attached via a movable block 35 as shown in FIG. Yo! As an example, the movable block 35 is a rectangular plate member with four corners, and a bearing receiving hole 35a for fitting the rod end bearing 34 is provided at the center thereof. Is. The movable block 35 is fitted so that the minute sliding surface 35f faces the minute sliding surface 36f of the movable block receiving hole 36 provided in the center of the piston unit 3 with a very small clearance. In the direction perpendicular to the reciprocating direction of the piston unit 3, It is configured to provide a movable block clearance 35c.

このため、ロッドエンドベアリング 34は、ピストン 31の往復動方向に直交する方向に 微動可能になるようにピストンユニット 3に対して保持されることとなり、ピストンユニット 3をシリンダ直角方向へ微動させようとするような力が加わった場合にも、それを許容 してシリンダ 11内を摺動できるようにしてレ、るものである。なおこのような動きとしては 、このサイクロイド往復動機関 Eが自動車やモーターサイクルに適用される場合、特 にエンジンブレーキがかかるような、逆トルクが生起した場合の動きが挙げられる。  For this reason, the rod end bearing 34 is held with respect to the piston unit 3 so as to be finely movable in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocating direction of the piston 31, so that the piston unit 3 is finely moved in the direction perpendicular to the cylinder. Even when such a force is applied, it is allowed to slide in the cylinder 11 with the allowance. In addition, as such a movement, when this cycloid reciprocating engine E is applied to an automobile or a motorcycle, a movement in a case where reverse torque is generated such that an engine brake is applied can be mentioned.

[0044] 上述の可動ブロック 35を設けた構成は、ピストン 31の円滑な往復動を行わせるた めの直動誤差許容構造の一例であり、この直動誤差許容構造は、上述のほか図 22 、 23に示す態様が採り得る。 図 22に骨格的且つ誇張的に示すように、ピストンクリアランス Pcをシリンダに対して 充分にとり、ピストン 31が誇張的に言えば、図 22 (c)に示すように上下に摺動軌跡を 選択し得るような形態とすることも差し支えない。このように構成されていれば、先に 述べたような動力伝達の際の作動誤差、トルク方向の変換等を許容した円滑な作動 が可能となる。 The configuration provided with the above-described movable block 35 is an example of a linear motion error allowable structure for causing the piston 31 to smoothly reciprocate. , 23 can be adopted. As shown skeletally and exaggeratedly in FIG. 22, if the piston clearance Pc is sufficient for the cylinder and the piston 31 is exaggeratedly speaking, the sliding locus is selected up and down as shown in FIG.22 (c). It may be in the form of obtaining. If configured in this way, the smooth operation allowing the operation error, the change of the torque direction, etc. at the time of power transmission as described above becomes possible.

[0045] (2)ロッドエンド 2分害 ijタイプ [0045] (2) Rod end 2 harm ij type

直動誤差許容構造についての更に他の実施例としては、図 23に示すようにピスト ンユニット 3において、ロッドエンド 33の部位を一例として中心線で 2分割し、二つの ピストンユニット要素 3Fとし、その分割面 33Dの間に分割面クリアランス Dcをわずか にとり、ピストンユニット 3としては、全体としてこの中間部を中心に幾分か屈折し得る ように構成するものである。もちろん、定常の運転状態では、例えピストンユニット 3が 中央で分断されていても、一体として作動するものであり、一体として組み付けられて レ、ることが必要である。そのための構成としてロッドエンド 33の部位において、図 23 ( a)に示すように左右両側に外嵌めされるリテーナリング 33R、更にそのリテーナリング 33Rの抜け留めを図るためのサークリップ 33Cを嵌め込むようにして一体組立構成を 実現する。  As another example of the linear motion error allowable structure, as shown in FIG. 23, in the piston unit 3, the rod end 33 part is divided into two by the center line as an example, and two piston unit elements 3F are obtained. A slight dividing surface clearance Dc is provided between the dividing surfaces 33D, and the piston unit 3 as a whole is configured so that it can be somewhat refracted around this intermediate portion. Of course, in a steady operation state, even if the piston unit 3 is divided at the center, the piston unit 3 operates as a unit and must be assembled as a unit. As a configuration for that purpose, in the rod end 33 part, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), a retainer ring 33R that is fitted on both the left and right sides, and a circlip 33C for retaining the retainer ring 33R are fitted. Realizes an integrated assembly configuration.

この構成の場合も同様に、作動誤差等を許容しながら作動が円滑に成されるもの である。 In the case of this configuration as well, the operation is smoothly performed while allowing an operation error or the like. It is.

なお分割面 33Dは、ピストンユニット 3の長手方向と直交する中心直径線上にある 必要がなぐ直交方向力 傾いた中心線上にあってもよいし、直径線上とせず中心で 屈曲し、分断されたピストンユニット要素 3Fが非対称形となってもよい。  The dividing surface 33D may be on a center line that is inclined perpendicular to the central diameter line that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the piston unit 3, or may be on a center line that is inclined, not on the diameter line, and bends at the center and is divided. Unit element 3F may be asymmetrical.

なおこれら実施例力 も理解できるように、直動誤差許容構造を考慮するにあたつ ては、前述の偏平ピストンタイプのものが好ましい。  In order to understand these embodiment forces, the above-described flat piston type is preferable when considering the linear motion error allowable structure.

[0046] 次に、ピストンユニット 3を直線往復運動とさせるための規制遊星ギヤ機構 4につい て説明する。 Next, the restriction planetary gear mechanism 4 for causing the piston unit 3 to perform linear reciprocation will be described.

まず規制遊星ギヤ機構 4における自転偏心盤 41は、クランクピンベアリング 23a等 の軸受を介してクランクピン 23に対して回転自在に外嵌されるとともに、そのクランク ピン 23とは、偏心した状態に前記ロッドエンド 33に内嵌状態でロッドエンドベアリング 34を介して回転自在に嵌め合わされてレ、る。  First, the rotating eccentric disc 41 in the regulating planetary gear mechanism 4 is rotatably fitted to the crank pin 23 via a bearing such as a crank pin bearing 23a, and the crank pin 23 is in an eccentric state. The rod end 33 is fitted into the rod end 33 so as to be rotatable through the rod end bearing 34.

そして、前記クランクピン 23と軸心を共通させて遊星歯車 42を自転偏心盤 41の側 面にこれと一体的に具えるともに、この遊星歯車 42は、クランクケース 1内側に固定さ れた静止リングギヤ 43の内側に嚙み合って遊星運動を行っている。  A planetary gear 42 is integrally provided on the side surface of the rotating eccentric disc 41 with the crankpin 23 and the shaft center in common, and the planetary gear 42 is fixed on the inside of the crankcase 1. The planetary movement is carried out by holding inside the ring gear 43.

なお機構学的ないしは幾何学的に前記ロッドエンド 33が直線運動をするためには 、遊星歯車 42と、静止リングギヤ 43とのピッチ円直径の比は 1: 2にすることが条件で ある。また、静止リングギヤ 43のピッチ円直径は、ピストンストローク(4e)に等しい。  In order for the rod end 33 to move linearly mechanically or geometrically, the ratio of the pitch circle diameters of the planetary gear 42 and the stationary ring gear 43 must be 1: 2. The pitch circle diameter of the stationary ring gear 43 is equal to the piston stroke (4e).

[0047] 次に前記伝達ギヤ 22に対して嚙み合う伝動機構 5について説明する。 Next, the transmission mechanism 5 that meshes with the transmission gear 22 will be described.

この伝動機構 5は、クランク軸 2と外部との間で滑ら力な動力伝達を担う部材である とともに後述する往復質量の慣性により生じた y軸回りの慣性トルク T をつりあわせる  This transmission mechanism 5 is a member that bears a smooth power transmission between the crankshaft 2 and the outside, and balances an inertia torque T about the y-axis generated by the inertia of the reciprocating mass described later.

y  y

ためのバランサ機構としても利用し得るものである。このものは、図 5に示すように双 方に対して動力を伝えるための伝動軸 51と、これに固定された伝動ギヤ 52によって 構成される。  It can also be used as a balancer mechanism. As shown in FIG. 5, this is composed of a transmission shaft 51 for transmitting power to both sides, and a transmission gear 52 fixed thereto.

具体的にはサイクロイド往復動機関 Eの場合は、外部に対して動力を出力するため 、伝動機構 5の伝動ギヤ 52が出力ギヤとなって外部に動力を伝達するものであり、一 方サイクロイド往復動機関 Eのクランク機構を用いたポンプ、ないしはコンプレッサ等 の場合には、外部のモータ動力等がクランク軸 2に伝達される際の入力ギヤとして作 動する。 Specifically, in the case of the cycloid reciprocating engine E, power is output to the outside, so that the transmission gear 52 of the transmission mechanism 5 serves as an output gear to transmit power to the outside. In the case of a pump or compressor using the crank mechanism of the moving engine E, it is used as an input gear when external motor power is transmitted to the crankshaft 2. Move.

[0048] また、伝達ギヤ 22と伝動ギヤ 52との組み合わせから成る伝動機構 5は、クランク軸  [0048] The transmission mechanism 5 including a combination of the transmission gear 22 and the transmission gear 52 includes a crankshaft.

2の軸方向に見ると、単位コンポーネント機関 E4を基準とした場合、クランク軸 2がー 体構造部位、すなわち各シリンダ 11間に配置することが好ましい。これによつて、クラ ンク軸 2の最も剛性の高い部位で動力伝達が図られ、組立構造を採ることが要求され てレ、るクランク軸 2の場合、クランク軸 2のこじれを有効に防レ、でレ、る。  When viewed in the axial direction of 2, when the unit component engine E4 is used as a reference, it is preferable that the crankshaft 2 is disposed between the body structural parts, that is, between the cylinders 11. As a result, power transmission is achieved at the most rigid part of the crankshaft 2 and an assembly structure is required.In the case of the crankshaft 2, the crankshaft 2 is effectively prevented from being twisted. , In

し力 ながら、このような設計強度的な問題が生じていなかったり、あるいは解消さ れている場合には、クランク軸 2の一体構造部位以外の箇所において動力伝達を図 つてもよレ、。具体的には、図 18、 19、 20、 21に示す偏平ピストンタイプを適用した単 位コンポーネント機関 E4に開示するとおり、伝動機構 5をクランク軸 2両端に配しても よい。  However, if this design strength problem has not occurred or has been resolved, power transmission should be attempted at a location other than the integral structure of the crankshaft 2. Specifically, the transmission mechanism 5 may be arranged at both ends of the crankshaft 2 as disclosed in a unit component engine E4 to which the flat piston type shown in FIGS.

この場合クランク軸 2の組立構造としては、単位コンポーネント機関 E4の中央連結 部(シリンダ間)を組立クランクとし、両端のクランクピン 23、クランクウェブ 24と、一体 に伝達ギヤ 22を設け、これに嚙み合う伝動ギヤ 52により伝動軸 51を連結する構造を 採る。具体的には、この組立構造は、図 20に示す分解斜視図により理解されるとおり 、中央のクランクウェブ 21を連結媒体とし、このものに 180° 配置したクランクピン受 孔 21Pを設け、一方左右に分割されたクランクピン 23の中央寄り端部にクランクピン 嵌込部 23Pを形成し、このクランクピン嵌込部 23Pをクランクピン受孔 21Pに圧入した 構造とする。  In this case, as for the assembly structure of the crankshaft 2, the central connecting portion (between cylinders) of the unit component engine E4 is an assembly crank, and a crank pin 23 and a crank web 24 at both ends are integrally provided with a transmission gear 22. The transmission shaft 51 is connected by a mating transmission gear 52. Specifically, as understood from the exploded perspective view shown in FIG. 20, this assembly structure is provided with a crank pin receiving hole 21P disposed at 180 ° on the center crank web 21 as a connecting medium, and on the other hand, A crankpin insertion portion 23P is formed at the end of the crankpin 23 that is divided into two, and the crankpin insertion portion 23P is press-fitted into the crankpin receiving hole 21P.

[0049] なおこのように伝動機構 5を中央のクランクウェブ 21に設けない構造を更に追及す ると、図 21に示すように単位ユニット機関 E2を完全に独立させるような構成とすること も可能である。すなわちこの場合、中央のクランクウェブ 21をあた力、も軸方向に分断 したような形態とし、クランクウェブ 21A、クランクウェブ 21Bとの 2部材で構成する。各 クランクウェブ 21A、 21Bは、クランクピン 23を受入れるクランクピン受入孔 21Pをそ れぞれ一箇所具え、両クランクウェブ 21A、 21Bが組立状態となったときには、同図 2 1 (b)に示すように、それぞれのクランクピン受孔 21Pは、 180° 対向した位置に設け られる。  [0049] If the structure in which the transmission mechanism 5 is not provided in the central crank web 21 is further pursued as described above, the unit unit engine E2 can be configured to be completely independent as shown in FIG. It is. That is, in this case, the central crank web 21 is divided into the applied force and the axial direction, and is composed of two members, the crank web 21A and the crank web 21B. Each crank web 21A, 21B has one crank pin receiving hole 21P for receiving the crank pin 23, and when both the crank webs 21A, 21B are in the assembled state, they are shown in FIG. 21 (b). Thus, each crank pin receiving hole 21P is provided at a position opposed to 180 °.

因みにこのような構成としたときには、クランク軸 2の剛性の向上が図れる。またクラ ンク軸 2の組立部、すなわちクランクウェブ 21におけるねじり負荷が除去され、クラン ク軸 2のこじれが解消される。また、クランク軸 2の製作が容易あるとともに、機構の組 立が容易である。また左右に設けられる遊星歯車の滑らかな嚙み合いに寄与できる Incidentally, with such a configuration, the rigidity of the crankshaft 2 can be improved. Also The torsional load on the assembly portion of the crankshaft 2, that is, the crank web 21, is removed, and the crankshaft 2 is prevented from being twisted. In addition, the crankshaft 2 can be easily manufactured and the mechanism can be easily assembled. In addition, it can contribute to the smooth engagement of the planetary gears provided on the left and right

[0050] 更に伝動ギヤ 52に関し、そのギヤ比等の設定について説明する。伝動ギヤ 52は、 上述したクランク軸 2に固定されている伝達ギヤ 22に嚙み合うものであり、この伝動ギ ャ 52と伝達ギヤ 22とのギヤ歯数の比は、この伝動機構 5がバランサ機構としての機 能を有してレ、るか否かによって異なる。 [0050] Further, regarding the transmission gear 52, setting of the gear ratio and the like will be described. The transmission gear 52 meshes with the transmission gear 22 fixed to the crankshaft 2 described above, and the ratio of the number of gear teeth between the transmission gear 52 and the transmission gear 22 is such that the transmission mechanism 5 has a balancer. It depends on whether or not it has a function as a mechanism.

具体的には伝動機構 5を後述するバランサ機構として用レ、るものについては、単位 コンポーネント機関 E4である水平対向 4気筒のサイクロイド往復動機関 E4と、この単 位コンポーネント機関 E4を 2基連結した水平対向 8気筒のサイクロイド往復動機関 E 8の場合である。これらについては、伝動ギヤ 52と伝達ギヤ 22とのギヤ歯数の比は、 1 : 1の歯数の比にする。  Specifically, the transmission mechanism 5 is used as a balancer mechanism, which will be described later, and a unit component engine E4, a horizontally opposed 4-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engine E4, and two unit component engines E4 are connected. This is the case of a horizontally opposed 8-cylinder cycloidal reciprocating engine E8. For these, the ratio of the number of gear teeth between the transmission gear 52 and the transmission gear 22 is set to the ratio of the number of teeth of 1: 1.

なお詳細については後述するが、伝動機構 5をバランサ機構として用いない場合、 具体的には N≥ 3の単位コンポーネント機関 E4を連接するもの(水平対向 12気筒及 び 16以上の気筒のサイクロイド往復動機関 E)においては、伝動ギヤ 52と伝達ギヤ 2 2とのギヤ歯数の比は、任意にとれる。  Although details will be described later, when the transmission mechanism 5 is not used as a balancer mechanism, specifically, a unit component engine E4 with N≥3 is connected (cycloid reciprocation of horizontally opposed 12 cylinders and 16 or more cylinders). In the engine E), the ratio of the number of gear teeth between the transmission gear 52 and the transmission gear 22 can be arbitrarily set.

また図 3等に示すように、この伝動ギヤ 52を支持する伝動軸 51には、後述する振 動や騒音を低減するための 2つ伝動軸バランサ 55がこの伝動ギヤ 52の両側(前後) に取り付けられる。この伝動軸バランサ 55が、請求項 13でいうカウンタバランサの役 割を担うものである。  As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the transmission shaft 51 that supports the transmission gear 52 has two transmission shaft balancers 55 on both sides (front and rear) of the transmission gear 52 for reducing vibration and noise, which will be described later. It is attached. The transmission shaft balancer 55 plays the role of the counter balancer as defined in claim 13.

[0051] なお水平対向 4気筒の単位コンポーネント機関 E4の場合であっても、伝動機構 5の うち特に伝動軸 51においてバランサ作用を求めない構造とすることもでき、単なる動 力伝達のみを担わせる構造としてももとより差し支えなレ、。当然この場合ギヤ比の設 定は、 1 : 1に限られない。  [0051] Even in the case of the horizontally opposed 4-cylinder unit component engine E4, it is possible to adopt a structure in which the balancer action is not required in the transmission mechanism 51, particularly the transmission shaft 51, and only a simple power transmission is assumed. As a structure, there is no problem. Of course, the gear ratio is not limited to 1: 1 in this case.

[0052] 以上述べたものが本発明の具体的な構造の一例であり、次のように作動する。  [0052] What has been described above is an example of a specific structure of the present invention, which operates as follows.

まずクランク軸 2が回転すると、クランクピン 23が規制遊星ギヤ機構 4における自転 偏心盤 41を回転させる。このとき共に遊星回転する遊星歯車 42は、静止リングギヤ 4 3に嚙み合っていることによりその動きが規制され、 自転偏心盤 41にロッドエンド 33を ロッドエンドベアリング 34を介して外嵌めしたピストンユニット 3は、常にシリンダ 11の 中心とクランク軸 2と中心とを結ぶ一直線上を往復動するのである。 First, when the crankshaft 2 rotates, the crankpin 23 rotates the rotation eccentric disc 41 in the restriction planetary gear mechanism 4. At this time, the planetary gear 42 that rotates together with the planet is a stationary ring gear 4 The piston unit 3 with its rod end 33 fitted on the rotation eccentric disc 41 via the rod end bearing 34 is always centered on the cylinder 11 and the crankshaft 2 Reciprocates on a straight line connecting the two.

[0053] ここで更に各歯車の動きの関係について具体的に説明する。まずピストンストローク を 4eと表した場合に、この 4eをピッチ円直径とする静止リングギヤ 43は、その軸心で あるクランク軸心〇 と一致してクランクケース 1に固定配置されてレ、る。 [0053] Here, the relationship between the movements of the respective gears will be specifically described. First, when the piston stroke is expressed as 4e, the stationary ring gear 43 having a pitch circle diameter of 4e is fixedly disposed on the crankcase 1 so as to coincide with the crankshaft center 0 as its axis.

In addition, since the present invention is a horizontally opposed type cylinder arrangement sharing the mouth end 33, the opposed pistons 31 repeat the compression state and the expansion state.

なお、ピストン 31のロッドエンド 33側の内側空間を便宜上クランク室 10aとして、ビス トン 31の頭部側のスペースを作動室 10bとするものである。  For convenience, the inner space on the rod end 33 side of the piston 31 is used as the crank chamber 10a, and the space on the head side of the piston 31 is used as the working chamber 10b.

[0054] このような往復動機関は、当然ながら振動が生ずるものである力 その振動につい て、以下のような手段により解消が図られている。 In such a reciprocating engine, the force that naturally generates vibrations is solved by the following means.

まず本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eにおいて、回転体のつりあわせは周知なの で説明を割愛し、往復質量の慣性力及び慣性トルクのつりあわせ方法を説明する。 本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eのピストンユニット 3の直線往復運動は、クランク 軸 2のクランク軸心〇 回りの角速度 ω、クランクピン 23のクランクピン軸心〇 または  First, in the cycloid reciprocating engine E of the present invention, since the balancing of the rotating body is well known, a description thereof will be omitted, and a method of balancing the inertial force and inertial torque of the reciprocating mass will be described.

[0062] 〔N = 3とした水平対向 12気筒サイクロイド往復動機関 E12 (4サイクル機関)〕  [0062] [Horizontally opposed 12-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engine with N = 3 E12 (4-cycle engine)]

次に上述した単位コンポーネント機関 E4を 3基連接した水平対向 12気筒サイクロ イド往復動機関 El 2 (4サイクル機関)に関する実施例について説明する。 Next, a horizontally opposed 12-cylinder cyclone with three unit component engines E4 connected to each other. An embodiment relating to the id reciprocating engine El 2 (4-cycle engine) will be described.

このものは、図 11、図 12、図 13などに示すように互いの単位コンポーネント機関 E 4の双方のクランク軸バランサを廃し、その端部側に共通のクランクウェブ状の連結盤 26を設けるようにして、 3基の単位コンポーネント機関 E4を接続したものである。 具体的な接続形態につレ、て説明すると、 3基の単位コンポーネント機関 E4を接続 するにあたっては、クランク軸 2は騒音.振動の低減のために、互いに 60° (180° /N, N = 3)だけ位相が異なるようにして連結盤 26を用いて接続されてレ、る。  As shown in Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, etc., the crankshaft balancer of both unit component engines E4 is abolished, and a common crank web-like connecting board 26 is provided at the end side. Thus, three unit component institutions E4 are connected. To explain the specific connection form, when connecting the three unit component engines E4, the crankshaft 2 is noisy and 60 ° (180 ° / N, N = 3) Connected using the connecting board 26 so that the phases are different.

また伝動機構 5については、図 13、図 14に示すように、それぞれの単位コンポーネ ント機関 E4の中央に設けられた伝達ギヤ 22に嚙み合うようにそれぞれの伝動ギヤ 5 2を共通の伝動軸 51に取り付ける。なおこの伝動機構 5には、バランサ機構としての 機能を具えていないことから、伝動軸 51の両端の振動を抑制するための伝動軸バラ ンサは、取り付けられていない。  As for transmission mechanism 5, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, each transmission gear 52 is connected to a common transmission shaft so as to mesh with transmission gear 22 provided at the center of each unit component engine E4. Attach to 51. Since the transmission mechanism 5 does not have a function as a balancer mechanism, a transmission shaft balancer for suppressing vibrations at both ends of the transmission shaft 51 is not attached.

なお、単位コンポーネント機関 E4を図 11〜: 14のような所定のクランク角の位相差 で配置することにより、周知の動つりあわせの理論から、機構内部で往復質量の慣性 力及び慣性トルクはつりあわせることができる。従って、伝動機構 5については、バラ ンサ機構としての機能を備えないため、伝動軸 51の両端の振動を抑制するための伝 動軸バランサは、取り付けられていない減速出力軸のみとする構成となっている。 実施例 4  By arranging the unit component engine E4 with a predetermined crank angle phase difference as shown in Fig. 11 ~: 14, the inertial force and inertial torque of the reciprocating mass are balanced inside the mechanism based on the well-known theory of dynamic balancing. be able to. Therefore, since the transmission mechanism 5 does not have a function as a balancer mechanism, the transmission shaft balancer for suppressing vibrations at both ends of the transmission shaft 51 is configured only with a deceleration output shaft that is not attached. ing. Example 4

〔N≥4とした水平対向 16気筒以上のサイクロイド往復動機関 E (4サイクル機関)〕 更に、単位コンポーネント機関 E4を 4基以上連接した水平対向 16気筒以上のサイ クロイド往復動機関 E (4サイクル機関)に関する実施例について説明する。 [Horizontal-opposed 16-cylinder reciprocating engine E (4-cycle engine) with N≥4) (Four-cycle engine) In addition, four or more horizontally-facing 16-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engine E (4 cycles) An embodiment relating to an engine will be described.

この場合、水平対向 16気筒サイクロイド往復動機関 E (4サイクル機関)における往 復質量の慣性力及び慣性トルクのアンバランスは、厳密には水平対向 4、 8気筒サイ クロイド往復動機関 E4、 E8のようなクランク軸バランサ 25や伝動軸バランサ 55などを 適宜設けることと、単位コンポーネント機関 E4同士の連結部においてクランク軸の位 相差を 180° /N (N = 4、 5、 · ·)に設定することとにより動力学的に解消させること が好ましいものである。  In this case, the imbalance between the back and forth mass inertia force and the inertia torque in the horizontally opposed 16-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engine E (4-cycle engine) is strictly the same as that of the horizontally opposed 4- and 8-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engines E4 and E8. Such as the crankshaft balancer 25 and transmission shaft balancer 55 as appropriate, and the phase difference of the crankshaft is set to 180 ° / N (N = 4, 5, ···) at the connection between the unit component engines E4 It is preferable to eliminate this kinetically.

し力 ながら、クランク軸バランサ 25、伝動軸バランサ 55により改善されるアンバラ ンスの程度は微小なものであることから、これらのバランサ部材を設けることによる制 約(例えば伝動ギヤ 52の歯数が一義的決定してしまう点など)と、これらのバランサ部 材によるアンバランスの改善とを比較考慮すると、アンバランスがわずかながらに残る 場合があるが、実用上の観点から N = 3の水平対向 12気筒サイクロイド往復動機関 E12と同様に、クランク軸 2の接続部における所定の位相差に設定する手法のみで アンバランスを改善することができる。なお、 Nの値によっては、 N = 3のときと同じくク ランク軸 2の接続部を所定の位相差に設定する手法のみで、動力学的に完全にアン バランスを解消することができる場合がある。 However, the unbalance is improved by the crankshaft balancer 25 and the transmission shaft balancer 55. Since the balance is very small, there is a restriction by providing these balancer members (for example, the number of teeth of the transmission gear 52 is uniquely determined) and an unbalance by these balancer members. However, from a practical point of view, as with the horizontally opposed 12-cylinder cycloidal reciprocating engine E12, there is a slight imbalance. The imbalance can be improved only by setting the phase difference of. Depending on the value of N, it may be possible to completely cancel the imbalance kinetically only by the method of setting the connecting portion of the crankshaft 2 to a predetermined phase difference as in the case of N = 3. is there.

[0064] またクランク軸 2を異にする複数の水平対向 n気筒サイクロイド往復動機関 Eを、そ れらの伝達ギヤ 22を共通の伝動軸 51上に嚙み合わせるようにした構成もとり得る。 特に、上述した水平対向 12気筒往復ピストン機関 E12は、伝動軸 51自体がバラン サ機能を有していないことから伝動ギヤ 52の歯数を任意のものにすることができ、異 なるクランク軸 2を具えたそれぞれの水平対向 12気筒往復ピストン機関 E12が互い に緩衝しないように配置した設計とすることが可能である。具体的には、図 17に示す ように共通の伝動軸 51に対して、上下の両面側より伝達ギヤ 22を嚙み合わせるよう にしたものであって、いわばサイクロイド往復動機関 Eによって 1本の伝動軸 51を挟 みこむような配置になったものである。もちろん、 2つのサイクロイド往復動機関 Eによ つて構成されるほかに、更に多くのサイクロイド往復動機関 Eによって構成させること も可能である。 [0064] Alternatively, a plurality of horizontally opposed n-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engines E with different crankshafts 2 may be configured such that their transmission gears 22 are held together on a common transmission shaft 51. In particular, in the horizontally opposed 12-cylinder reciprocating piston engine E12 described above, since the transmission shaft 51 itself does not have a balancer function, the number of teeth of the transmission gear 52 can be made arbitrary, and different crankshafts 2 It is possible to design each horizontally opposed 12-cylinder reciprocating piston engine E12 equipped with so as not to buffer each other. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the transmission gear 22 is engaged with the common transmission shaft 51 from both the upper and lower sides. The arrangement is such that the transmission shaft 51 is sandwiched. Of course, in addition to being constituted by two cycloid reciprocating engines E, it is also possible to constitute by more cycloid reciprocating engines E.

[0065] 〔バランサ機構を排除したサイクロイド往復動機関〕  [0065] [Cycloid reciprocating engine excluding balancer mechanism]

上述したように、本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eは、その作動状態において振 動-騒音等の原因であるアンバランスを解消すベぐ動力学的に観点よりそれぞれの 機関の構成に応じてクランク軸 2両端のクランク軸バランサ 25や伝動軸 51の両端の 伝動軸バランサ 55を適宜に設けたものである。  As described above, the cycloid reciprocating engine E according to the present invention has a crank according to the configuration of each engine from the viewpoint of dynamics in order to eliminate the imbalance that is the cause of vibration-noise in the operating state. A crankshaft balancer 25 at both ends of the shaft 2 and a transmission shaft balancer 55 at both ends of the transmission shaft 51 are appropriately provided.

しかし、例えば使用状態でのクランク軸回転数や、ピストン行程とピストン径との関 係、シリンダ数などのサイクロイド往復動機関 Eの総合的な性状が一定の条件を満た す場合には、これらのバランサを省略することも可能である。 具体的には、 N= lのときの水平対向 4気筒サイクロイド往復動機関 E4や、 N = 2の ときの水平対向 8気筒サイクロイド往復動機関 E8は、所定の条件の下で、動力学的 に求められた種々のバランサを排し、隣り合う単位ユニット機関を連結する際の位相 角に所定のものとすることで、一定の条件下でバランサを具えたものと同様の静粛運 転性能を発揮させることが可能である。 However, if the overall properties of the cycloid reciprocating engine E such as the crankshaft rotation speed in use, the relationship between the piston stroke and the piston diameter, the number of cylinders, etc. satisfy certain conditions, It is also possible to omit the balancer. Specifically, the horizontally opposed 4-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engine E4 when N = l and the horizontally opposed 8-cylinder cycloid reciprocating engine E8 when N = 2 are dynamically By eliminating the various required balancers and setting the phase angle when connecting adjacent unit units to a predetermined one, the same quiet operation performance as that provided with the balancer is achieved under certain conditions. It is possible to make it.

なお本発明は、基本的に水平対向ピストンタイプのものであるが、その構成を一部 利用することにより、図 24に示すように非水平対向タイプのものも実現し得る。  Although the present invention is basically of the horizontally opposed piston type, a part of the configuration can be used to realize a non-horizontal opposed type as shown in FIG.

産業上の利用可能性  Industrial applicability

[0067] 以上述べたサイクロイド往復動機関 Eは、化石燃料等を用いて出力を生じさせる例 えば輸送用機械の動力源、発電機の動力源などとして利用できるものである。更に、 このサイクロイド往復動機関 Eのクランク機構を用いて外部から動力を得ることによつ てポンプ装置として利用することも可能である。以下、それぞれの作動態様について 説明する。 [0067] The cycloid reciprocating engine E described above can be used as a power source of a transport machine, a power source of a generator, and the like that generate output using fossil fuel or the like. Furthermore, it is also possible to use as a pump device by obtaining power from the outside using the crank mechanism of the cycloid reciprocating engine E. Each operation mode will be described below.

Both the pump and the compressor are used. Is included.

[0068] 〔1.出力機関 (原動機)として利用する場合〕 [0068] [1. When used as an output engine (motor)]

図 15 (1)に示すように、本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eを 4サイクル機関に適用 する場合には、シリンダヘッド 12に吸気孔 15aと、これを開閉する吸気弁 15bとを設 けると共に、更に排気孔 16aとこれを開閉する排気弁 16bとを設け、更に点火プラグ Pを設ける。もちろんディーゼル機関においては、点火プラグ Pの代わりに燃料噴射ノ ズノレが設けられる。  As shown in FIG. 15 (1), when the cycloid reciprocating engine E of the present invention is applied to a four-stroke engine, the cylinder head 12 is provided with an intake hole 15a and an intake valve 15b for opening and closing the intake hole 15a. Further, an exhaust hole 16a and an exhaust valve 16b for opening and closing the exhaust hole 16a are provided, and a spark plug P is further provided. Of course, in a diesel engine, a fuel injection nozzle is provided instead of the spark plug P.

もちろんこの場合、動弁機構については適宜の弁機構を採用し得るものである。 また給排気弁等の数についても、最低限排気弁 16bと吸気弁 15bとの 2つが必要で あるものの、多弁型とすることも差し支えないが、これらについての説明は省略する。 そしてこれによつて得られた回転出力は、伝達ギヤ 22から伝動ギヤ 52を介して外部 に取り出される。 Of course, in this case, an appropriate valve mechanism can be adopted as the valve operating mechanism. As for the number of supply / exhaust valves, etc., at least two of the exhaust valve 16b and the intake valve 15b are necessary, but it may be a multi-valve type, but the description thereof will be omitted. The rotation output obtained by this is taken out from the transmission gear 22 via the transmission gear 52.

なお 4サイクル機関に適用する場合において、本装置の構成上、シリンダ側圧は発 生せず、し力、もピストンストロークは、クランク半径の 4倍となることから、いわゆるロング ストローク化が容易であり、これに伴い層状燃焼、希薄燃焼等に適した機関が得られ る。  In addition, when applied to a 4-cycle engine, due to the configuration of this device, cylinder side pressure is not generated, and the force and piston stroke are four times the crank radius, so it is easy to make a so-called long stroke. Accordingly, an engine suitable for stratified combustion and lean combustion can be obtained.

[0069] 本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関 Eを 2サイクル機関に適用する場合にも同様であ る。図 15 (2)に示すように給排気弁構造の特性上により吸気孔 15aはシリンダ 11のク ランクケース 1寄りの側方に開口し、クランク寄りのクランク室 10aと作動室 10bとを掃 気孔 17によって連通させるとともに、掃気孔 17より開孔タイミングが早い排気孔 16a をシリンダ 11の側面に開孔させている。  The same applies when the cycloid reciprocating engine E of the present invention is applied to a two-cycle engine. As shown in Fig. 15 (2), due to the characteristics of the supply / exhaust valve structure, the intake hole 15a opens to the side of the cylinder 11 closer to the crankcase 1, and the crank chamber 10a and the working chamber 10b closer to the crank are connected to the scavenging hole. In addition, the exhaust hole 16 a having a timing earlier than the scavenging hole 17 is opened on the side surface of the cylinder 11.

そしてピストン 31については、この排気孔 16aと、掃気孔 17とを開閉する作用を担 うべく、ピストン 31の頭部より下方に伸びるにピストンスカート 31bを具える。  The piston 31 includes a piston skirt 31b that extends downward from the head of the piston 31 so as to open and close the exhaust hole 16a and the scavenging hole 17.

2サイクル機関の場合も同様にクランク軸 2が回転するとピストン 31の上昇時には、 クランク室 10a側で吸気がなされるとともに、作動室 10b側では圧縮工程が開始され る。そして点火プラグ Pによる点火を受けて作動室 10bの混合気が燃焼し、そのエネ ルギ一でピストン 31が再び下降し、まず排気孔 16aが開孔したところで内部の燃焼ガ スは排気管側に流出する。これとともに掃気孔 17により、クランクケース 1側で圧縮さ れていた新気混合ガスが作動室 10b側に移動して自己掃気をするものである。  Similarly, in the case of a two-cycle engine, when the crankshaft 2 rotates, when the piston 31 moves up, intake is performed on the crank chamber 10a side and a compression process is started on the working chamber 10b side. The air-fuel mixture in the working chamber 10b is combusted by ignition by the spark plug P, and the piston 31 is lowered again by the energy. First, when the exhaust hole 16a is opened, the internal combustion gas is moved to the exhaust pipe side. leak. At the same time, the scavenging holes 17 allow the fresh air mixture gas compressed on the crankcase 1 side to move to the working chamber 10b side and perform self-scavenging.

[0070] [2.ポンプ装置 (コンプレッサ、ポンプ)に利用する場合〕 [0070] [2. When used for pump equipment (compressor, pump)]

本発明のサイクロイド往復動機関のクランク機構をコンプレッサ、ポンプに適用する 場合には、図 16に示すようにまず伝動ギヤ 52を介し外部からの動力を得て、クランク 軸 2を回転させる。これによつてピストン 31が往復動し、適宜シリンダ 11内の吸気孔 1 5aより気体や液体などの所望の媒体を吸気もしくは吸入し、次工程においてピストン 31が上昇することにより所望の媒体を圧縮して排気孔 16aから排出するものである。 このような場合には、前記吸気弁 15bと排気弁 16bについてはワンウェイバルブで十 When the crank mechanism of the cycloid reciprocating engine of the present invention is applied to a compressor and a pump, first, power from the outside is obtained through the transmission gear 52 and the crankshaft 2 is rotated as shown in FIG. As a result, the piston 31 reciprocates and sucks or sucks in a desired medium such as gas or liquid from the intake hole 15a in the cylinder 11, and the piston 31 moves up in the next process to compress the desired medium. And is discharged from the exhaust hole 16a. In such a case, a one-way valve is sufficient for the intake valve 15b and the exhaust valve 16b.
