摘要:
The subject of the invention is a variable-volume rotary device with a housing (1) comprising an inner spherical cavity, inlet and exhaust ports and a bypass flow path. Within the housing (1) a rotary displacement member with spherical outer configurations capable of revolving around the center point of the spherical inner surface of the housing is mounted. Said rotary displacement member is equipped with a centrally disposed, disc-shaped partition (6) that forms a mutually isolated division in the spherical inner cavity of the housing (1) and has two pivot vanes (7, 8), splitting the housing cavity further into four isolated quadrants, the volume of which vary during gyration. Vanes (7, 8) are similar in shape to orange segments. Vanes (7, 8) are connected to opposing sides of and along the diameters of the central disc (6), and extend in mutually perpendicular planes, allowing for rotary movement. Inlet- and exhaust ports are arranged on the housing (1) so that, when the rotary displacement member is in motion, the inlet port connects only to a quadrant represented by the smaller spherical projection of the disc (6) within the inner spherical cavity of the housing (1), whereas the exhaust port only meets a quadrant indicated by the larger spherical projection of the disc (6) within the inner spherical cavity of the housing (1).

A hinged joint is formed on a volumetric rotary machine with a spherical working cavity formed between a spherical rotor part and the spherical surface of the body, between a piston, which is mounted in such a way as to enable rotary oscillations relative to the rotor in the plane passing along the axis of rotation of the rotor, and a rotor, which is mounted in such a way as to enable rotation about the spherical rotor part. This solution has made it possible to increase the reliability, service life and thermal stability of machines of this type. In addition, helical channels for communication between symmetrical working chambers and channels within the rotor for connecting the working chambers to the working-medium inlet and outlet openings are formed inside the spherical rotor part. This solution has made it possible to increase the specific power of the machine.

An improved rotary engine and method for determining the contours of the sealing surfaces thereof. The improved engine provides for maintaining a predetermined, optimal gap between the sealing surfaces during rotation. The gap may be parallel or angled, and may be positive or negative so as to form an interference engagement. The rotors of the engine may be provided with mirror-image sealing surfaces so as to prevent development of excessive back-lash and clearance, and also to permit efficient reverse operation. The sealing surfaces may also be provided with recesses for interrupting the seal at predetermined points in the rotational cycle, for enhanced wear characteristics and/or to accommodate abrasive or shear-sensitive fluids.

An engine has a pair of rotors, both housed within the same housing. The housing has an interior cavity which is preferably spherical but need only be partially spherical, the remainder at least having rotational symmetry. Each rotor is mounted on an axis that passes through the center of the cavity, the respective axes of the rotors being at an angle to each other, with the center of each rotor being at the center of the cavity. The rotors interlock with each other to define chambers. Vanes or pistons defined by a contact face and a side face protrude from the rotors. The side faces and contact faces, and the housing interior define chambers that open and close as the rotors rotate. Each contact face of one rotor is defined by the rotation of a conical section of material on the other rotor, so that there is constant linear contact between opposing vanes on the two rotors, at least on one side of the engine. The rotors may face each other or be one inside the other. When one is inside the other, the engine may be used in association with an external combustor. Bearings support the rotors for rotation, and ports are used to allow gases into and out of the chambers.

The power conversion machine includes a housing which defines a spherical cavity as well as a stator which is secured within the housing on a first axis. The stator is provided with an annular groove which is disposed on an angle to the axis of the stator while an annular guide member is slidably mounted in the groove for rotation about the stator axis. A first rotor part is secured to a shaft which is rotatably mounted on the stator and carries a pair of pistons which define ball shaped segments within the cavity of the housing. A second rotor part having a second pair of pistons defining a pair of ball shaped segments within the cavity is disposed on a second axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Pins are used to secure the second rotor part to the annular guide member for rocking of the second rotor part about the second axis during rotation of the two rotor parts about the axis of rotation.

A piston rotor and a chamber partitioning rotor are continuously rotated unidirectionally about fixed rotational axes intersecting at an acute angle within a spherical chamber enclosed by a housing. Simultaneous rotation of the rotors and relative angular movement therebetween occurs because of a pivotal joint interconnecting such rotors at the intersection of the rotational axes coinciding with the geometric center of the spherical chamber. Pressure cavities formed between the rotors within the spherical chamber are volumetrically varied in response to the relative movement of the rotors. For internal combustion engine operation, port controlling dome segments within the chamber are rotated at a reduction drive ratio to the chamber partitioning rotor through planetary gearing.

A universally-movable machine part includes a disc member having a disc shaft and a recessed slot defining a bearing surface conforming to a smooth cylindrically-curved plane. At least one planar vane member defines a lower bearing surface conforming to the smooth cylindrically-curved plane of the disc slot so as to be pivotally slidably mated therewith. A rotor member having a rotor shaft defines a groove which establishes a plane passing through a geometric center point of the device and in which an upper portion of the vane member is accepted so as to be pivotal within the established plane. The rotor member also defines a lower surface upwardly and outwardly divergent relative to the geometric center point of the device to permit the rotor member to be pivotally movable about an axis mutually perpendicular with the axis defined by the disc shaft and the axis about which the vane member pivots so that the rotor member will also be pivotally movable together with the vane member. A ball bearing having a diameter larger than the cross-sectional width of the vane member is also provided so as to establish a spherical bearing surface. Accordingly, the rotor shaft is universally movable relative to the disc shaft. A fluid transfer apparatus such as, for example, a fluid pump, utilizing the universally-movable machine part is also disclosed.
