A rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal-type of construction with a slidably journalled piston controlled by a synchronous transmission gear drive unit, with which the synchronous transmission gear drive unit is covered coinciding with an insert part threaded with respect to the remaining machine parts adjacent to the eccentric. The insert part has a hollow cylinder covering the hollow gear of the synchronous transmission gear drive unit eccentric to the eccentric shaft, which hollow cylinder is sealed-off with a sealing ring relative to one shoulder of the piston, as well as a further hollow cylinder coaxial to the eccentric shaft surrounding the holding part for the pinion with a gap or space therebetween, which further hollow cylinder projects into a shaft bore in the side part and is sealed-off relative thereto by a sealing ring. Upon another bearing side there is provided an annular chamber sealed-off relative to the remaining machining spaces or chambers and from which annular chamber the oil discharging from the bearing is conveyed through the cooling chambers of the piston to the synchronous transmission gear drive unit. The oil is discharged through a gap space in a discharge passage or channel in the sidewall formed by the coaxial hollow cylinder.

A bearing arrangement and drive transmission arrangement of a rotary piston internal combustion engine having trochoidal-shaped casing mantle raceway surfacing and having a triangular piston controlled by a synchronous drive transmission consisting of a hollow gear and a pinion, with which the teeth of the hollow gear are machined or worked out of a piston bore extending over the entire width by impact pushing/cutting and broaching. A further bore is concentrically provided in the piston bore and extends from a side remote from the synchronous drive transmission as far as to the hollow gear and of which teeth only tooth butt ends are left standing upon which a bearing sleeve of the eccentric bearing is pressed thereon. Cooling passages or channels result between the bearing sleeve and the tooth butt ends. Transfer of contact heat from the piston onto the eccentric bearing is considerably reduced by engagement of the bearing sleeve only upon the tooth butt ends.

Bearing- and drive arrangement of a rotary piston internal combustion

A lubrication system for a rotary piston internal-combustion engine of the trochoid type, including a roller or needle bearing for the rotor on the eccentric, wherein internal engine oil seals may be eliminated. A narrow annular clearance is provided between the shaft and the pinion of the synchromesh gearing, into which a dosed quantity of fresh oil may be pumped through the adjoining side part. At that side of this annular clearance which opens towards the eccentric, a splash edge is provided which is surrounded by a collector groove arranged at the eccentric. A passage in the eccentric leads from a radially outermost part of the collector groove towards the center of the rotor bearing. The pressurizing oil flowing into the annular clearance forces the oil to leave this space whereupon it is splashed off the splash edge under the action of the centrifugal force of the rotating shaft, and transferred into the collector groove from where it is passed through the bore in the eccentric into the rotor bearing.

Rotary pistons on shafts connected therewith counter-rotate in a blower machine casing having casing inner cylindrical surfaces and having an inlet and an outlet in the region of intersections of these casing inner cylindrical surfaces, the cross section of the inlet is approximately 1.35 times the cross section of the outlet. The rotary pistons are formed by two coaxial semi-cylinders having different radii with a ratio of 2.5 to 2.8 relative to each other. Transition surfaces are formed between the semi-cylinder with the large radius and the semi-cylinder with the small radius. These transition surfaces dovetail with the corresponding transition surfaces of the other rotary piston and together with the associated casing inner cylindrical surfaces. The side plates and the cylindrical surfaces of the semi-cylinder with the small radius form working chambers having variable volume therewith. The cylindrical surface of the semi-cylinder with the large radius terminates in an angle of 15.degree. to 25.degree. before a base plane or surface thereof with an angle of 30.degree. to the axis of symmetry of the rotary piston in sides or flanks. The semi-cylinders with the large radius are made hollow and consist of light metal. The rotary pistons at the axial sides thereof have concentric disks which, with the peripheral surfaces thereof, operate with a close but contactless gap relationship in recesses in the walls of the side plates. The side of the semi-cylinder with the large radius upon the outer side thereof has recesses for balancing of the rotary pistons.

A triangular piston is journalled rotating in a planetary manner upon an eccentric of an eccentric shaft journalled in a housing of a rotary piston internal combustion engine of trochoidal type of construction with a fluid cooled system in the housing with a multi-arcuate casing runway surfacing of which the side walls have the eccentric shaft passing therethrough. An eccentric bearing is cooled directly by a cooling medium conveyed via a bypass of the cooling system of the housing branched off from the cooling system and the cooling medium is conveyed via hollow spaces in the eccentric shaft into a location at the eccentric journalling the triangular piston. The cooling medium is supplied and carried away via lines opening into an annular groove extending around the eccentric in a location below and radially inwardly of the eccentric bearing. A supply line is provided in the eccentric shaft for supply of cooling medium to the annular groove and this supply is continuously in connection and in communication with at least one radial bore to the annular groove in a region of the eccentricity maximum of the eccentric and in a region of the eccentricity minimum of the eccentric there is arranged at least one bore leading back from the annular groove, which latter groove opens into an axial return flow line in the eccentric shaft and that furthermore the feed and return lines are connected to the bypass of the cooling system of the housing.

A lubrication system for a rotary-piston internal combustion engine of the trochoid type with roller or needle bearings between the eccentric and the rotor. Lubricating oil in a dosed quantity is passed through a bore in the side part adjacent the gearing between the shaft and the pinion of the gear, from where it is supplied to the connection of the eccentric where, due to the centrifugal force, it is sprayed or splashed into a collector plate at the eccentric wall at the side of the gear. A bore leads from this collector plate to the eccentric bearing and passes the oil into the bearing under the influence of the centrifugal force. Excess oil serves to lubricate the gear and the gas seal elements.

An axial sealing arrangement in a rotary-piston engine, comprising a sealing member that is, for example, made of metal, and is inserted into a groove in one surface of an engine component while it bears against the wall of a surface of a second component that moves relative to the first component. On that surface that bears against the low-pressure side wall of the groove, and on that portion facing the base of the groove, the sealing member is provided with a rounded ledge via which it bears against the low-pressure side wall of the groove. In addition, on that side facing the opposite contact surface, the sealing member is provided with recesses which extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal extension of the sealing member, and which may communicate with a groove extending beside the rounded ledge. The recesses open toward the opposite contact surface and thus into the clearance that is to be sealed. The sealing member may be manufactured by rolling a strip between two profiling rollers.
