Internal combustion engine

Abstract

The rotor ( 2 ), rotates in consequence of combustion and consequent expansion of gases, inserted in a cylinder ( 1 ). The rotor has cavities that, when turning, in conjunction with the opening and closing of valves ( 3 and 4 ), will forming chambers destined to generate the procedures of admission of gas, compression, combustion and exhaust. The rotor has cavities designed to house the intake and compression chambers ( 11 ) and different cavities intended to accommodate the combustion and exhaust chambers ( 9, 10 ), ie, the gases are admitted into a chamber and compressed, and transferred to another chamber, where combustion and exhaust occur. The passage of the gas already compressed, from the first to the second chamber is made through the opening ( 5 ) in the inner wall of the cylinder. In this opening are located the spark plugs ( 6 ) and/or the fuel injectors, depending on the fuel used.

1 - Internal combustion engine, characterized by a rotor ( 2 ) constituted by a single and undeformable piece that rotates always in the same direction in a concentric axis within a circular cylinder ( 1 ) having cavities which are intended solely as intake and compression chambers ( 11 ), and other different cavities interspersed with the firsts, are intended solely as a combustion ( 9 ) and outlet ( 10 ) chambers, and all these chambers are formed by the spaces created between the rotor, the circular cylinder and valves ( 3  and  4 ), whereby the cylinder houses the rotor and the valves, contemplate spaces or openings for the operation thereof, and openings that allow the gas inlet ( 7 ) and the outlet of the exhaust ( 8 ) and cavities ( 5 ) which, in addition to housing the candle and/or the fuel injectors ( 6 ) allow, in certain positions of the rotor, to perform a process of passing of compressed gas from the intake/compression chambers to the combustion/exhaust chambers that succeed them, taking into account the direction of rotation of the rotor, which means that, at the moment of transition, compressed gases have a movement contrary to the direction of rotation of the rotor, in consequence of the movements of the intake/compression valves ( 3 ) and the combustion/exhaust valves ( 4 ). 
     
     
         2 - Internal combustion engine, according to claim n.  1 , characterized for the rotor and the cylinder having one, two or more sets of chambers for intake/compression and combustion/exhaust, as well as openings for gas passage of the first to the second chambers, respectively. 
     
     
         3 - Internal combustion engine, according to claim n.  1 , characterized by the inlet and exhaust ports be located on the flat surfaces of the cylinder, on the curved surface of the cylinder, in the intake and exhaust valves, or combined with opening and closing of these. 
     
     
         4 - Internal combustion engine, according to claims n.  1  and n.  3  characterized by the valves being controlled by camshafts or any other mechanism that produces the same effects. 
     
     
         5 - Internal combustion engine, according to claim n.  1 , characterized by having one or more cylinders and respective rotors, in the same way that currently exist single-cylinder engines, usually in motorcycles, and motors which consist of several cylinders and respective pistons, usually in automobiles.
