Title:
流体圧エネルギーから機械動力を生成するための方法と装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005520963
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The subject of the invention is an engine that is actuated by a fluid under pressure, preferably water, and comprises one or more oscillating, connecting-rod assemblies ( 13 ), including a cylinder ( 14 ) and a piston ( 15 ), and at least one or more cranks ( 16 ) driven by the connecting-rod assemblies ( 13 ). For each connecting-rod assembly ( 13 ), a preferably stationary valve ( 20 ) controls the feed and the discharge of the pressure fluid to and from it, synchronically with the angular position of the corresponding crank ( 10 ), and acts as the pivot about which connecting-rod assembly ( 13 ) oscillates. The engine can be applied for producing mechanical work in any apparatus, for example in sprinklers, concrete mixers, apparatus for winding cables or garden hose reels, and so on, or for the production of electrical energy. The actuating fluid can be used, after its discharge from the engine, for purposes for which high pressure is not required.
