    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 piston engine comprises a housing (10), which forms an interior space (11), and at least two rotary pistons (20, 30), which are arranged in the interior space (11). Formed on the interior space (11) are an inlet opening (13) and an outlet opening (15) to guide a fluid through the interior space (11). The rotary pistons (20, 30) are thereby driven by fluid flowing through. Each rotary piston (20, 30) has on its outer circumference at least two sealing strips (21, 31). According to the invention each rotary piston (20, 30) comprises at least two cavities (27, 37), in each of which a tube (38B) or an elastic solid rod is arranged. The sealing strips (21, 31) project into the cavities and against the tube (38B) received therein or the elastic solid rod. Through the tube (38B) or the rod, the sealing strips (21, 31) are pushed radially outwards.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine includes one or more pairs of non-meshing, externally timed rotors disposed within a housing in an expander module and a compressor module. Each rotor includes a cylindrical, center main body including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an elongate portion extending between the ends and a first peripheral surface portion and a second peripheral surface portion and a bore extending through a center of the main body from the first end to the to second end. The rotors each have a groove extending along outer peripheral edge portions of the rotor. A pair of tip seals is disposed in the grooves. A pair of apex seals is disposed on the first peripheral surface portion and the second peripheral surface portion and an axially floating end plate is disposed at an end of the housing.

    摘要: A gearmotor assembly includes a housing, a rotatable shaft, a bearing, a retaining member, and a seal. The housing defines a gear chamber configured to contain a lubricant. The bearing rotatably supports the shaft. The bearing is disposed between the housing and the shaft. The retaining member at least in part restricts axial shifting of the bearing. The retaining member presents a plurality of retaining member threads. The housing defines a plurality of housing threads threadably engaging the retaining member threads. The retaining member and the housing cooperatively at least in part define an interface. The interface includes a threaded portion and an additional portion. The threaded portion is cooperatively defined by the retaining member threads and the housing threads. The additional portion is fluidly interconnected to the threaded portion. The seal is disposed along the interface to prevent lubricant escaping the gear chamber past the interface.

    摘要: A first rotor configured to rotate adjacent to a second rotor is disclosed. The second rotor includes a circular main body with a first axis of rotation and a vane extending radially from the main body. The first rotor includes a first curved surface that corresponds to a curve swept at a constant radius about a second axis of rotation, a second curved surface that corresponds to a curve swept by a leading edge of the vane when the second rotor is simultaneously rotated about the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation, a third curved surface that corresponds to a curve swept by a trailing edge of the vane when the second rotor is simultaneously rotated about the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation, and a vane-receiving groove disposed between the second curved surface and the third curved surface.

    摘要: An improvement to an expander is disclosed. The expander is of the type that has vanes that extend and retract from a rotor body during rotation and create chambers that increase and decrease in size. The improvement comprises, for each vane, for each vane, a pivot axis orientated parallel to the rotational axis and about which said each vane pivots between the extended and retracted positions.
