A free piston generator based on a rigid synchronous transmission system is provided, which belongs to the technical field of power energy. The present disclosure solves the problems of low power generation efficiency and low stability of the existing free piston generator. The free piston generator based on the rigid synchronous transmission system includes a first linear generator set, a second linear generator set, a rigid synchronous transmission assembly, two high-pressure cylinders arranged at two ends of the first linear generator set, and two low-pressure cylinders arranged at two ends of the second linear generator set. The combustion product is firstly subjected to first-stage expansion in the high-pressure cylinder and is then subjected to second-stage expansion in the low-pressure cylinder, which effectively increases the energy utilization in exhaust gas, also increases the expansion work, and further improves the thermal efficiency and the power generation efficiency of the free piston generator. By means of the rigid synchronous transmission assembly, high-pressure pistons and low-pressure pistons are always kept in stable phase operation, so as to avoid the problems of wall-impingement and insufficient pressure of compressed air due to the phase mismatching.

Provided is a free piston generator based on a split thermodynamic cycle, which belongs to the technical field of power energy. The present disclosure solves the problem of low power generation efficiency of an existing free piston generator. The free piston generator includes a linear generator set and two internal combustion engine sets arranged at two ends of the linear generator set. Air is first subjected to first-stage compression by the low-pressure cylinder set in the internal combustion engine sets and is then subjected to second-stage compression in the high-pressure cylinders, so that the intake pressure of an internal combustion engine is effectively increased, which is favorable for increasing the average effective pressure in a work process, thereby improving the thermal efficiency and the power generation efficiency of the free piston generator. A combusted working medium is first subjected to first-stage expansion in the high-pressure cylinders and is then subjected to second-stage expansion in the low-pressure cylinders, which effectively increases the utilization rate of energy in exhaust gas, increases the expansion work, and further improves the thermal efficiency and the power generation efficiency of the free piston generator.

The present disclosure provides a six-cylinder opposed free piston internal combustion engine generator. The generator comprises two free piston internal combustion engine sets, one opposed piston internal combustion engine set and two linear generator sets. Air entering cylinders is subjected to first-stage compression in low-pressure cylinder sets in the free piston internal combustion engine sets and the opposed piston internal combustion engine set and then subjected to second-stage compression in high-pressure cylinder sets, and a high pressure gas produced after the combustion is subjected to first-stage expansion in the high-pressure cylinder sets and then subjected to second-stage expansion in the low-pressure cylinder sets.
