Definitions

  • the object of the present specification is to set forth a novel system for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles by means of a balanced rotary compressor with tangential pistons comprising two or more cylinders which are connected to a crank having two or more pins or a rotary compressor with tangential pistons, compromising an extendible crank.
  • This novel system enables the recovery of wasted energy in motor vehicles in the form of pneumatic pressure for the possible use thereof in auxiliary systems belonging to the vehicle or in the engine.
  • the block rotates connected to the drive shaft through a clutch which is actuated upon applying the brake of the vehicle and the crank remains fixed to the structure or support.
  • the grooved inner arm of the pivoted lever slides on the pin of the crank and makes it tilt on a shaft, this angular movement is transmitted to the outer arm of the lever, which by means of a connecting rod converts it into an alternative linear path to the piston of its cylinder. Therefore, each rotation of the block causes a complete cycle of the piston.
  • the pistons of the cylinders are diametrically opposite and are actuated by pins of the shaft that are equally shifted 180°.
  • the elements with inner shifting such as pistons, connecting rods and pivoted levers, maintain at all times a 180° shift with its pair, achieving a homogeneous distribution of masses and balancing the assembly.
  • crank and the inner part of the pivoted lever are located in a sealed central chamber and the outer part of this lever with the connecting rod and the piston in the other, separated by the rotating shaft of this pivoted lever.
  • the necessary elements completing the compressor, the cylinder head and the cover of the check valves, inlet and outlet ducts, are located in the upper part of the cylinder.
  • the compressed air outlet is sent to a suitable container through the front shaft of the compressor and a rotary joint.
  • the rotation of the block also favors the dissipation of heat generated during the compression and together with the absence of vibrations, makes it especially suitable for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles, connected to the drive shaft thereof by means of a clutch actuated upon applying the brake of the vehicle.
  • the compressor comprising an extendible crank is formed by a block with two or more cylinders and a crank with a single extendible pin, to which the pistons are coupled by means of a pivoted lever and a connecting rod for each cylinder, the block rotates connected to the drive shaft of the vehicle and the crank remains fixed joined to the structure of the vehicle.
  • the crank is formed by a cylinder joined to the fixing shaft and a rod with the pin, the shaft and the cylinder have an inner duct through which air or liquid flows under pressure, actuating the rod by extending it when the brake of the vehicle is applied.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles based on a balanced rotary compressor with tangential pistons comprising two cylinders.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles with a balanced rotary compressor with tangential pistons comprising three cylinders.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section of the mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles with a balanced rotary compressor.
  • FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles with a rotary compressor comprising an extendible crank with three cylinders.
  • FIG. 5 shows a section of a mechanism for the recovery of energy with a rotary compressor comprising an extendible crank, with the same objective as the previous one.
  • FIG. 6 shows a plan view of a mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles with a rotary compressor comprising an extendible crank, with two positions: “A” extended crank; and “B” retracted crank.
  • FIG. 7 shows a scheme for the actuation of the valve controlling the extension of the crank and a view thereof.
  • FIG. 8 shows a balanced rotary compressor, with the intake of air from the rear chamber of the cylinder through a check valve.
  • the mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles, object of the present invention is formed by, in the case of FIG. 1 , a balanced rotary compressor with tangential pistons which is in turn formed by a block ( 11 ) with two cylinders ( 12 ) and a crank ( 14 ) with two pins ( 15 ).
  • the assembly rotates when the brake, connected to the drive shaft by means of a clutch, is applied and the crank ( 14 ) remains fixed to the structure or support.
  • the pistons ( 13 ) of the cylinders ( 12 ) that are diametrically opposite are actuated by pins ( 15 ) of the crank ( 14 ) that are equally shifted 180°.
  • the elements having an inner shifting such as pistons ( 13 ), connecting rods ( 18 ) and pivoted levers, maintain at all times a 180° shift with their pair, achieving a homogeneous distribution of masses and balancing the assembly.
  • this homogeneous and balanced distribution of masses is also valid for an odd number of cylinders, although in this case the balancing is as a group and not by pairs.
  • the cylinders ( 12 ) are located at 120° to each other and their pistons ( 13 ) are actuated by pistons ( 15 ) that are also located at 120°, therefore they maintain a uniform distribution of their masses during the rotation with a constant balancing.
  • the necessary elements completing the balanced rotary compressor, the cylinder head ( 120 ), the cover of the check valves, the air inlet and outlet ducts, are located in the upper part of the cylinder ( 12 ).
  • the compressed air outlet ( 121 ) is sent to a suitable container through the front shaft of the compressor and a rotary joint ( 19 ).
  • FIG. 8 shows a variant of the compressor used in this first embodiment of the mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles, where the crank ( 14 ) and the lower part (a) of the pivoted lever ( 16 ) are located in a sealed central chamber and the outer part (b) of this lever ( 16 ), with the connecting rod ( 18 ) and the piston ( 13 ) in another chamber, separated by the rotating shaft ( 17 ) of this pivoted lever ( 16 ).
  • This arrangement facilitates the individual lubrication of each chamber, and allows the air to be drawn from the rear chamber of the cylinder ( 12 ), through a check valve ( 123 ) during the forward run of the piston ( 13 ), and injected during the return through the duct ( 124 ), to the compression chamber.
  • the mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles based on the compressor comprising an extendible crank ( FIGS. 4 , 5 , 6 and 7 ) basically consists of: block ( 21 ), cylinders ( 22 ), pistons ( 23 ), pivoted lever ( 26 ), connecting rods ( 28 ), and a crank ( 24 ) having a single pin ( 25 ), which moves, radially driven by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure.
  • the block ( 21 ) rotates joined to the drive shaft of the vehicle, either by gears, belts or other means ( 222 ) and with it, all its elements (cylinders, pistons, connecting rods and pivoted lever) and the crank remains fixed to the structure of the vehicle.
  • the crank ( 24 ) consist of a shaft ( 210 ) joined to a cylinder ( 211 ) and both of them have a hole ( 212 ) through which the driving agent flows to the base of the latter, a rod ( 213 ) joined to the pin ( 25 ) slides inside the cylinder.
  • the position of the rod is determined by a control valve consisting of a piston ( 216 ) actuated by the brake and another piston ( 217 ) regulating the maximum pressure in the air storage system, a solenoid ( 218 ) is also provided which is activated in the event that a minimum pressure is needed in the system, which by means of a pressure switch actuates the system independently of the situation of the brake.
  • crank ( 24 ) and the inner part of the pivoted arm ( 26 ) are located in a sealed central chamber and the outer part of said lever ( 26 ), with the connecting rod ( 28 ) and the piston ( 23 ) in another one, separated by the rotating shaft ( 27 ) of this pivoted lever ( 26 ).

  • FIG. 7 shows the operation of the valve controlling the crank.
  • pressure is sent to the piston ( 216 ) of the valve, which moves, allowing the hydraulic or pneumatic pressure of this system to pass to the cylinder ( 211 ) through the piston ( 217 ) regulating the air pressure of the storage system, moving the rod ( 214 ) to which the pin ( 25 ) of the crank ( 24 ) is joined up to the its run limit and causing the angular movement of the pivoted crank ( 26 ), which moves the pistons ( 23 ) linearly.
  • FIG. 7A when the brake is applied, pressure is sent to the piston ( 216 ) of the valve, which moves, allowing the hydraulic or pneumatic pressure of this system to pass to the cylinder ( 211 ) through the piston ( 217 ) regulating the air pressure of the storage system, moving the rod ( 214 ) to which the pin ( 25 ) of the crank ( 24 ) is joined up to the its run limit and causing the angular movement of the pivoted crank ( 26 ), which moves the
