An actuator of a rotary engine that can realize different compression ratios includes three parts: an eccentric shaft, a triangle rotor and a control system. The eccentric shaft includes the front part of the eccentric shaft, the combination of an electric three-jaw and the rear part of the eccentric shaft. The triangle rotor includes the variable volume actuator, the front part of the rotor and the rear part of the rotor. The control system controls expansion and contraction of the electric three-jaw. The eccentric shaft part passes through the triangle rotor part to make the combination of electric three jaw to arrange in the annular groove. The reciprocating motion of the variable volume actuator is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the claw top of the electric three-jaw. Engine compression ratio may therefore be adjusted using the compression ratio adjustment system.

The present invention provides an actuator that can realize the different compression ratios of the rotary engine. The invention actuator described above, includes three parts: the eccentric shaft part, the triangle rotor part and the control system. The eccentric shaft part which is described above, includes the front part of the eccentric shaft, the combination of electric three jaw and the rear part of the eccentric shaft. The triangle rotor part which is described above, includes the variable volume actuator, the front part of the rotor and the rear part of the rotor. The control system which is described above, includes the control system of electric three jaw and the rotating joint. The expansion and contraction of the electric three jaw described above, are controlled by the control system of electric three jaw described above. The eccentric shaft part described above passes through the triangle rotor part described above, to make the combination of electric three jaw to arrange in the annular groove described above. The reciprocating motion of the variable volume actuator described above, is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the claw top of the electric three-jaw. The invention can adjust the engine compression ratio through the whole compression ratio adjustment system, to make the rotary engine always work in the best compression ratio under different working conditions. Therefore, the invention can improve the performance of rotary engine significantly.

The present invention relates to a vane heat engine and in particular to a vane heat engine efficiently utilizing potential energy and having an adjustable expansion chamber wall so that the volume of the expansion chamber is adjustable. The engine has a housing with an inlet and an outlet. A rotor with a plurality of vanes is provided to rotate within the housing. An adjuster is provided for adjusting the location of an expansion chamber wall. The position or location of the expansion chamber wall determines the volume within a plurality of compartments bound by the rotor, the expansion chamber wall and two of the plurality of vanes. The expansion wall can be made of a plurality of members, whereby the expansion wall is flexible along its longitudinal dimension yet strong perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension.
