Title:
分離型ロータリーエンジン
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012525537
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The aim of the present invention is to provide a separate-type rotary engine which significantly reduces vibrations and weight as compared to conventional cylinder-type internal combustion engines, which is simple in configuration and thus reduces manufacturing costs, which directly generates rotary force rather than through a crankshaft to increase mechanical efficiency, and in which a compressor and a force generator are separated from each other to enable the simple design of an engine suitable for a variety of uses. The engine of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises: said compressor and force generator including housings (1 and 1'), each of which has a circular inner cross-sectional surface; rotors (3 and 3'), each of which has a circular or elliptical shape or a combination of a circular and elliptical shape, and rotates with one side thereof contacting the housing and the other side thereof spaced apart from the housing using the center of the circular inner space of the housing as an axis; and hinged vanes (9 and 9'), each of which has one end hinged to an upper portion of each of the housing (1 and 1') and the other end contacting each of outer surfaces (4 and 4') of the rotating rotors (3 and 3') to prevent a drop in the pressure of the compressed air and combustion gas during compression and expansion. The thus-configured compressor and the force generator are further provided with a compressed air tank (12) interposed between a one-way check valve (11) and a compressed air valve (13) to store high-pressure compressed air, wherein the open/shut operation of the compressed air valve (13) is controlled in accordance with the rotation position of the rotor (3') of the force generator, so as to store high-pressure compressed air; a fuel nozzle (15) for injecting fuel into the compressed air discharged at a high speed from the compressed air tank (12); an ignition device (16) for burning fuel in a combustion chamber (7); a gas exhaust port (18) formed at an end of an exhaust space (6-4) to discharge combustion gas to the outside of the engine; and an air intake port (17) formed at a front end of an air intake space (6-1) of the compressor to serve as a passage for introducing air from the outside of the compressor. The engine of the present invention is advantageous in that one combustion is performed per one rotation of each of the rotors, each of the rotors is located dead center in each of the housings rather than being eccentric, the expansion stroke of combustion gas is significantly longer to reduce vibrations and to improve engine efficiency as compared to a rotary engine (Wankel engine), and the compressor and the force generator are arranged independently from each other on a same rotary axis to enable easy changes in the sizes thereof and the simple design of an engine suitable for a variety of purposes.
