The present invention relates to internal combustion engines, and discloses a double-cylinder internal combustion engine. The double-cylinder internal combustion engine of the present invention adopts a curved groove ball bearing mechanism to replace crank-connecting rod mechanisms since traditional internal combustion engines have a complicated structure, high material requirements, high processing difficulty, and the inertia effect and noises thereof are hard to be eliminated. Two inner rings of the curved groove ball bearing mechanism are fixedly connected, and a valve mechanism and an ignition mechanism are driven through a gear pair, so that the two sets of cylinders and pistons reciprocate in opposite directions to automatically balance reciprocating inertia thereof. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has simple motion forms which only consist of the rotary motion and the reciprocating motion, and low noises are produced. The inertia of the reciprocating motion is automatically offset, causing small vibrations.

The invention relates to universal machine parts, and more particularly to a curved groove ball bearing without a retainer, which can solve the problems in the prior at such as high pendulating frequency and small amplitude. For the bearing, an inner ring and an outer ring are respectively provided with a first curved groove and a second curved groove, where 'peaks' and 'valleys' of the first curved groove are respectively the same as those of the second curved groove in number. The second curved groove is filled with steel balls, and a retainer for fixing the relative positions of the steel balls is removed, increasing the amplitude and reducing the pendulating frequency.
