Abstract
The invention relates to a mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles. The inventive mechanism consists of either: (a) a balanced rotary compressor with tangential pistons, comprising two or more cylinders which are connected to a crank having two or more pins; or (b) a rotary compressor with tangential pistons, comprising an extendible crank. The 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.
Claims5
A mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles consisting of a compressor with tangential pistons, a mechanism contained in two circular parts coupled to each other, wherein one or more pistons tangential to the rotating shaft, coupled to the outer arm of one or more pivoted levers pivoting on a shaft, are actuated by a crank with a single pin sliding on the groove made in the inner arm upon rotating the shaft or the block and essentially characterized in that in this mechanism with two or more pistons (13), each one is actuated individually by an independent pin (15), separated from one another by the same number of degrees as the cylinders (12) containing them and another group with the same number can be added, in any angular position with respect to the previous one but which must be the same as each other so as to be actuated by the same pins. This improvement is for the purpose of enabling balancing the assembly during the rotation of the block (11).
A mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles consisting of a compressor with tangential pistons, characterized in that the crank (14) and the grooved inner arms of the pivoted lever (16), which are actuated by the pins, are located in a sealed central chamber separated from the rear chambers of the cylinders by the rotating shaft of the latter, for the purpose of facilitating the lubrication and maintaining them independent.
A mechanism for the recovery of energy in self-propelled vehicles consisting of a compressor with tangential pistons, characterized in that the air is drawn from the rear chamber of the cylinder through a check valve (123) during the forward shifting of the piston and injected into the compression chamber in its return through a duct (124) made for that purpose.
