摘要:
The invention relates to a rotary valve control system for internal combustion engines and reciprocating pumps. A rotationally symmetrical, dome-shaped, drivable rotary valve is arranged in the cylinder head of the engine. In the cylinder head there is in the region of the inlet duct and the outlet duct at least one rotatable gasket ring which is provided with a drive. The rotary valve is linked to the drive thereof by means of spring means acting in the peripheral direction, and the gasket rings are in the form of thrust bearings and arranged on that side of the rotary valve which faces away from the cylinder.

The valve system of this invention is for use on an internal combustion engine having a plurality of pistons slidable in respective cylinders each forming a combustion chamber. The engine comprises a block forming the cylinders and having a head or rotary valve housing mounted to the top of the block. In a multiple cylinder in-line engine design, a shaft is suitably supported extending within the housing and is driven via a timing belt from the crankshaft. A plurality of preferably parabolically shaped rotors are fixedly disposed along the length of the shaft at predetermined intervals with each rotor positioned above a cylinder and received by a bushing of the housing. The shaft is preferably spring loaded at one end and supported by bearings at both ends. Each rotor is constructed of a pressed graphite and has an arcuate recess for providing selective communication between either an inlet port or an exhaust port and a passage in the head leading to the combustion chamber.
