    摘要: An engine housing includes a rotor housing and a side housing assembly. The rotor housing includes a rotor housing body. The rotor housing body extends about an axis to form a rotor cavity of the engine housing. The rotor housing body extends between and to a first axial end and a second axial end. The side housing assembly includes a side housing body, a side plate, and a seal assembly. The side housing body is disposed at the first axial end. The side plate is disposed axially between the rotor housing body and the side housing body. The side plate includes an inner side, an outer side, and a perimeter edge. The seal assembly includes a support ring and a sealing ring. The support ring is disposed at the perimeter edge and the first axial end. The support ring circumscribes the side plate. The sealing ring extends between and to a first axial sealing ring end and a second axial sealing ring end. The first axial sealing ring end is disposed at the support ring and the outer side.

    摘要: A rotor assembly for a rotary internal combustion engine is provided. The rotor assembly includes a rotor having a radial groove defined radially in a peripheral surface of the rotor. The groove has a depth and an intermediate shoulder at an intermediate depth. The groove has a first width therealong that is narrower than an intermediate width at the shoulder. An apex seal is received in the groove and protrudes from the peripheral face of the rotor. The apex seal is configured to move radially between a first position and a second position outward of the first position. A biasing member biases the apex seal toward the second position. A platform is disposed in the groove between the apex seal and the biasing member and has a width greater than the first width.

    摘要: A rotary internal combustion engine having an insert opening defined in a hot area of one of the walls of the stator body and in communication with its internal cavity. A cooling jacket is received in and lines the insert opening. An insert is sealingly received in the cooling jacket and made of a material having a greater heat resistance than that of the wall. The cooling jacket extends between the insert and the wall along most of the length of the insert to prevent direct contact between the insert and the wall. A cooling gallery surrounds the cooling jacket and the insert, and is defined at least in part by the cooling jacket such that a coolant circulated therein contacts the cooling jacket. The cooling jacket is located between the cooling gallery and the insert.

    摘要: A rotor for a Wankel engine including a plurality of ribs extending from a bearing support to each one of the flanks, the plurality of ribs including, for each flank, first and second ribs connected to the flank between the recess and a respective one of the apex portions. The first and second ribs are curved along at least a portion thereof, and/or the first and second ribs are closest to the respective apex portion and connected to the flank adjacent a junction between a portion of the flank defining the recess and a respective portion of the flank connected thereto. A method of reducing pinching of apex seals in a rotor of a Wankel engine is also discussed.

    摘要: A stator for a rotary internal combustion engine, with a body having an internal cavity. Each end wall has a scavenging cavity defined therein in fluid communication with the internal cavity through a respective scavenging opening extending through the inner surface thereof, and at least one annular oil seal groove defined in the inner surface thereof concentric with the central bore and located radially outwardly of the scavenging opening. At least one annular oil seal is received in each groove and protrudes from the end wall into the internal cavity for sealing engagement with a surface of a rotor of the engine, each seal being biased axially away from the end wall. A rotary internal combustion engine and a method of limiting radially outwardly directed oil leaks in a rotary engine are also disclosed.
