A rotary machine with a deformable rhomb includes a rotor formed by a deformable rhomb in contact, with or without clearance, with an internal surface of a housing forming a stator and/or with an external surface of a central crown, the deformable rhomb including four pistons connected one following the other by a pivotal hinge with an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing and thus forming a closed chain; a transmission mechanism to transmit movement between the pistons and a rotation shaft coaxial to a central axis of the machine, the transmission mechanism including a first rolling body mounted fixedly on at least one piston, an axis of the first rolling body passing in the centre of the piston and connected to a second rolling body, a centre of which passing through the central axis of the machine and being integral with the rotation shaft, the first rolling body being connected to the second rolling body directly or by an intermediate transmission member, wherein a demultiplication ratio between the first and the second rolling body is equal to 2 and is positive.
A rotary machine with a deformable rhomb comprising
The machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first rolling body (16) is a half-pinion integral with a piston (6) which meshes with a toothed wheel forming the second rolling body (19) integral with the central rotation shaft (15) of the machine with an intermediate rolling body (21) forming a satellite pinion.
The machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that two opposed pistons (6) are connected together by at least one median arm (23, 24), each of the ends (27, 28) of the said median arm being mounted pivotably to the centre of each piston (6).
The machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the transmission mechanism (14) has a reversible operation.
The machine according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the piston (6) and the said first rolling body (16) form a single-piece part.
