20190009674 · 2019-01-10 ·

The invention relates to power take-off devices for internal combustion engines and can be used, in particular, in different vehicles for taking power from reciprocating internal combustion engines. The present power take-off device for an internal combustion engine comprises at least two pairs of transfer mechanisms, coupled to the pistons of an engine, wherein a transfer mechanism is adapted to convert the reciprocating motion of its corresponding piston into rotary motion of a corresponding power take-off shaft. Each transfer mechanism comprises a means of setting rotation, which is mounted on a shaft connected to the piston, said means comprising a transfer component with at least one continuous, wave-like, vertically guiding track in the form of a guiding contact path, and a running wheel which moves along the contact path and has a fixed vertical position. The device provides an increase in engine efficiency of up to 50% and reduces the number of revolutions for similar levels of power output.

Infinitely variable compression ratio and single stroke length mechanism or dual stroke length mechanism of reciprocating 2-cycle or 4-cycle internal combustion engine
10119463 · 2018-11-06 ·

A balanced and rotating mechanism of an internal combustion engine, which combines adjustable variable compression ratio with long power and exhaust strokes and short intake and compression strokes to obtain an internal combustion engine with variable air intake flow and maintain a constant pressure ignition. The mechanism includes a mirror-image planetary-gear assembly, a gear-pin assembly, and a piston-and-connecting rod assembly. The mirror-image planetary-gear assembly includes a first planetary-gear assembly and a second planetary-gear assembly; wherein each includes a sun gear, a primary planet gear, a plurality of secondary planet gears, and a ring gear. The first planetary-gear assembly and the second planetary-gear assembly are mounted along a main rotation axis, offset from each other and mirroring each other. The gear-pin assembly is eccentrically connected between the primary planet gears. Resultantly, rotating the sun gears alters the orientation of the gear-pin assembly, and thus changing the top dead center height.
