(15) FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 disclose the operating statuses of the high-performance internal combustion engine 10 provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the first operating status is that: the spark plug 7 at the right side is ignited for enabling the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side to generate a combustion stroke, the first switch valve 92 and the second switch valve 93 both at the right side are closed during the combustion stroke, and a pressure generated during the combustion is able to apply a pushing force to the pistons 4, so that the two pistons 4 are together displaced towards the directions close to the crankshaft chamber 1, meanwhile an internal air pressure inside the crankshaft chamber 1 is increased so as to close the check valve 91, so that the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are prevented from flowing from the crankshaft chamber 1 to the inlet pipe 5, lastly the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are allowed to enter the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side via the first switch valve 92 at the left side for enabling an air intake stroke to be generated.

(16) As shown in FIG. 2, the second operating status is that: the two pistons 4 are together displaced towards the directions away from the crankshaft chamber 1, so that the internal air pressure inside the crankshaft chamber 1 is decreased so as to open the check valve 91, and the first switch valve 92 and the second switch valve 93 both at the left side are in a closed status, thereby enabling the interior of the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side to be in a sealed status, so when the piston 4 is continuously displaced to compress an internal space of the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side, the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are pressurized for enabling a pressurizing stroke to be generated; because the first switch valve 92 at the right side is in a closed status and the second switch valve 93 at the right side is in an opened status, waste gas generated during the combustion stroke inside the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side is exhausted from the second switch valve 93 at the right side to the exhaust pipe 8 at the right side thereby enabling an exhaustion stroke to be generated.

(17) As shown in FIG. 3, the third operating status is that: the spark plug 7 at the left side is ignited for enabling the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side to generate a combustion stroke, the first switch valve 92 and the second switch valve 93 both at the left side are closed during the combustion stroke, and a pressure generated during the combustion is able to apply a pushing force to the pistons 4, so that the two pistons 4 are together displaced towards the directions close to the crankshaft chamber 1, meanwhile the internal air pressure inside the crankshaft chamber 1 is increased so as to close the check valve 91, so that the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are prevented from flowing from the crankshaft chamber 1 to the inlet pipe 5, lastly the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are allowed to enter the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side via the first switch valve 92 at the right side for enabling an air intake stroke to be generated.

(18) As shown in FIG. 4, the fourth operating status is that: the two pistons 4 are together driven be to displaced towards the directions away from the crankshaft chamber 1, so that the internal air pressure inside the crankshaft chamber 1 is decreased so as to open the check valve 91, and the first switch valve 92 and the second switch valve 93 both at the right side are in a closed status, thereby enabling the interior of the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side to be in a sealed status, so when the piston 4 is continuously displaced to compress an internal space of the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side, the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are pressurized for enabling a pressurizing stroke to be generated; because the first switch valve 92 at the left side is in a closed status and the second switch valve 93 at the left side is in an opened status, waste gas generated during the combustion stroke inside the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side is exhausted from the second switch valve 93 at the left side to the exhaust pipe 8 at the left side thereby enabling an exhaustion stroke to be generated. Accordingly, as shown from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, an operating process of a four-stroke cycle internal combustion engine is complete.

(19) Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, when the two pistons 4 are together displaced towards the directions away from the crankshaft chamber 1 till the two cylinder chambers 2 being fully compressed, an air intake amount of the crankshaft chamber 1 is equal to an air intake amount of the two cylinder chambers 2, but as shown in FIG. 1, when the two pistons 4 are together displaced towards the directions close to the crankshaft chamber 1 till the crankshaft chamber 1 being fully compressed, the air intake amount (the air intake amount of crankshaft chamber 1 as shown in FIG. 4) of the two cylinder chambers 2 is only filled inside the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side, so that the cylinder chamber 2 at the left side is provided with a pressurizing effect; with the same principle, as shown in FIG. 3, when the two pistons 4 are together displaced towards the directions close to the crankshaft chamber 1 till the crankshaft chamber 1 being fully compressed, the air intake amount (the air intake amount of crankshaft chamber 1 as shown in FIG. 2) of the two cylinder chambers 2 is only filled inside the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side, so that the cylinder chamber 2 at the right side is provided with a pressurizing effect. Accordingly, the combustion stroke of the cylinder chamber 2 is able to generate a greater combustion force, thereby increasing the power efficiency of the high-performance internal combustion engine 10.

(20) Moreover, the inlet pipe 5 is only communicated with the crankshaft chamber 1, one end of the flow guiding pipe 6 is only communicated with the crankshaft chamber 1 and another end thereof is only communicated with the cylinder chamber 2, and the inlet pipe 5 is connected to the upper part 13, the two flow guiding pipes 6 are connected to the lower part 14, the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil introduced from the inlet pipe 5 have to pass through the crankshaft chamber 1 so as to flow into the two flow guiding pipes 6, so that the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil can be served to evenly lubricate the crankshaft disk 3 then flow into the two flow guiding pipes 6, thereby enhancing the operation stability of the crankshaft linkage mechanism 3 and prolonging the service life thereof, meanwhile the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil sequentially flow through the inlet pipe 5, the crankshaft chamber 1, the flow guiding pipe 6 and the cylinder chamber 2, so that turbulent flows can be prevented from being generated inside the crankshaft chamber 1, the flow guiding pipe 6 or the cylinder chamber 2, and the working efficiency of the high-performance internal combustion engine 10 can be stabilized.

(21) Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic view showing an operating status of the high-performance internal combustion engine 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment disclosed in FIG. 5 is substantially the same as the embodiment disclosed from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the difference between the embodiment disclosed in FIG. 5 and the embodiment disclosed from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 is that the high-performance internal combustion engine 10 further includes a lubrication oil nozzle 51.

(22) Details are provided as follows. According to this embodiment of the present invention, the high-performance internal combustion engine 10 further includes the lubrication oil nozzle 51. The lubrication oil nozzle 51 is disposed in the inlet pipe 5 and arranged corresponding to an inner chamber of the inlet pipe 5. The inlet pipe 5 is used for introducing an external mixture of combustion fuel and air into the inner chamber of the inlet pipe 5, the lubrication oil nozzle 51 is used for guiding external lubrication oil into the inner chamber of the inlet pipe 5, lastly the combustion fuel, the air and the lubrication oil are mixed in the inner chamber of the inlet pipe 5 so as to flow into the crankshaft chamber 1. Accordingly, the same functions and effects as the embodiment disclosed from FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 can be achieved. Based on what has been disclosed above, the high-performance internal combustion engine 10 provided by the present invention is novel and more practical in use comparing to prior arts.
