[0055] The pair of side spur gears 10 are located on either side of the center spur gear 11. The rotor casing 14 houses the center spur gear 11 and the pair of side spur gears 10. The ring gear 8 is formed on the inner surface 13 of the rotor casing 14. The center spur gear 11 and the side spur gears 10 eccentrically rotates by engaging with at least one teeth of the ring gear 8. The center spur gear 11 of the rotor 7 is connected to the shaft 12, which is used to transmit the rotational energy of the rotor 7 to the devices, for example, related to aviation engineering and automobiles. The engine casing 1 houses the equilateral triangle rotor 7. A combustion chamber 35 is formed in the space between the equilateral triangle rotor 7 and the engine casing 1. In the combustion chamber 35, after fuel is injected into it, the combustion of the fuel-air mixture takes place to start the thermodynamic process of the present invention.
[0056] It should be noted that the ring gear 8 or the rotor 7 is of a Zindler curve shape. The Zindler curve is a simple closed plane curve with the defining property. All chords, which cut the curve length into halves, have the same length. One example of such Zindler curve of ring gear 8 is shown in
[0057] In
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] The outer casing 1 is made-up of a top face 31 and bottom face 32, which are covered or closed using the pair of engine covers 16, 17 of
[0061] If a path of a point on the corner of the equilateral triangular rotor is traced, it will give a geometrical structure corresponding to its path of rotation in the surface in which it rotates. This geometrical structure will give the dimension for the construction of outer casing of the engine. The outer casing is made-up of two side surfaces, one is on the upper side and another on the lower side of the engine and the disclosed invention does not have any valve mechanism. The engine rotor will keep rotating until this cyclic process of suction, compression, expansion, and exhaustion continuing. One example of the path traced is a Zindler curve.
[0062]
[0063]
[0064] When the engine 30 starts working, the equilateral triangular rotor 7 and eccentric ring gear 8 will rotate eccentrically along with the left or right spur gears 10 connected to it, by running over the teeth cuts. When combustion process starts, the rotor 7 rotates which will rotate the eccentric ring gears. The teeth of eccentric ring gears are engaged with the teeth of the left and/or right spur gears 10. Rotation of the eccentric ring gears rotates the left and/or right spur gears 10 which in turn rotates the center spur gear 11, thus rotating the shaft 12.
[0065] Referring to
[0066] The rotor 7 is always rotating in opposite direction of that of the main shaft 12 that is whenever the main shaft 12 rotates in clock wise direction, the equilateral triangular rotor 7 will rotate in anti-clock wise direction.
[0067] It should be noted that the radius of curve of equilateral triangular rotor 7 is approximately equal and always less than that of radius of curve of outer engine casing 1, so that the equilateral triangular rotor 7 can freely rotates within the peripheral of engine casing 1 without any distractions.
[0068] The present invention uses a rotor cooling mechanism working either by water or air. The rotor cooling mechanism maintain the optimum temperature, for example, 80 degree C, of the equilateral triangular rotor 7, so that the engine 30 can carry out the proper thermodynamic process. The hole 20 or inlet hole 20 provided in the top face cover 17, as shown in
[0069] Referring again to
[0070] Most commonly using engine does not have this speed controlling mechanism due to the lack of gear driven mechanism in all these engines. But this longstanding defect is rectified by the peculiar design of present invention engine 30 in which the power can be drawn only from the linearly arranged spur gears 10, 11 such as center spur gear, left, and right spur gear. The rotation path 15 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the rotor casing 14 is shown clearly in
[0071]
[0072] A rotation path 15 in inner peripheral surface 13 of the rotor casing 14 is traced using at least one corner point of the equilateral triangular rotor 7, by rotating the rotor 7. The rotation path 15 is used to get a geometrical structure and dimension for the construction of engine casing 1of the engine 30.
[0073] The center of inner periphery surface 13 of the equilateral triangular rotor 7 has teeth cuts known as ring gear 8. The ring gear 8 is always in an eccentric rotation hence also referred as eccentric ring gear 8. A set of linearly arranged spur gears such as center spur gears 11, the left or right spur gears 10 are connected to each other as shown in
[0074] It should be noted that the engine casing 1 is covered using the engine covers 16, 17 by tightly securing to the engine covers 16, 17 to the engine case using at least one securing means. The main shaft 12 connected to the center spur gear 11 leaves outside through the main bearing slots 18 at the center of the engine covers 16, 17. Similarly, the side inner shaft 36 connected to the left or right spur gears 10 leaves outside through the main small bearing slots on either side of the center of the engine covers 16, 17. Any suitable bearing seat can be used to fix all these bearing slots.

TABLE-US-00001 DEGREE OF ROTATION CORESSPONDING DEGREE OF ROTATION 170 degree to 160 degree At 170 degree the inlet port get opens and the fuel injects into it, finally the inlet port closes when the rotor rotates to 160 degree. 160 degree to 70 degree From 160 degree compression process starts, that is mixed air and injected fuel undergoes compression and completes at 70 degree. 70 degree to 60 degree In between 70 to 60 degree a spark forms from the spark plug and it ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture in the compression chamber. 60 degree to 220 degree From 60 degree, ignited air-fuel mixture begins expands and the engine undergoes expansion process, finally completes at 220 degree. 220 degree to 210 degree When the rotor rotates 220 degree, the exhaust port get opens and starts the exhaustion process and finally it closes at 210 degree. 210 degree to 170 degree From 210 degree vacuum process starts and sucks fresh air from outside and completes the first cycle at 170 degree and prepared
[0076] As shown in graph 70, the inlet port is opened between the angles 170 degree to 160 degree of the rotor, as indicated by the reference numeral 71. The spark plug ignites the compressed air and fuel mixture in the compression chamber between the angles 70 degree to 60 degree of rotation of the rotor, as indicated by the reference numeral 72. When the rotor rotates 220 degree, the exhaust port opens and starts the exhaustion process and finally it closes at 210 degree, as indicated by the reference numeral 73.
[0077] It should be noted that for all existing engines to start their working, it requires an initial drive and usually which is provided by any kind of external agents for example, a self-starter. The disclose invention also uses such self-starter, and it is connected to a flywheel. As the self-starter rotates, the flywheel also rotates, on its initial drive the equilateral triangular rotor 7 will begins to rotate and at 170 degrees, the inlet port 2 will become open and air get sucked in to the suction chamber. This initiates the thermodynamic process.
[0078]
[0079] The equilateral triangular rotor 7 has three steel balls 23 fixed each on three groove 22 at an apex of the rotor casing 14, as shown in
[0080]
[0081]
[0082] It should be noted that the method includes the three power stroke including three suctions, three compressions and three exhausts. The thermodynamic cycle rotates the equilateral triangular rotor inside the engine casing. The ring gear in the equilateral triangular rotor starts rotating and in tum rotates the side spur gear. The side spur gear rotates the center spur gear engage with it, which in tum rotates the main shaft.
[0083] The internal combustion rotary engine of present invention comprises the Zindler curve eccentric ring gear with an equilateral triangular rotor of minimal eccentricity. The rotor consists of at least one planetary ring gear on the sides of a main sun gear, so that the engine does not have any vibration. The rotary engine of present invention has high compression ratio so that diesel and other fuels can also be used. Further, the rotary engine uses effective cooling system and is more efficient than the reciprocating engine. Another main advantage of the present invention is that the two stroke Zindler curve eccentric ring gear internal combustion rotary engine which does not have any valve mechanism and has higher thermal efficiency.
