Abstract
The present invention relates to an engine or pump called rotary piston engine or pump, comprising a shape of revolution F relative to a delta axis, and rotatably movable about said delta axis in relation to an envelope V, and n cavities distributed over the perimeter of F. In each cavity is housed a rotating roller, characterized in that at least one roller has its centre angle determined so as to obtain the closed volumes it delimits, as large as possible.

An engine called rotary piston engine, comprising:
- a shape of revolution F relative to a delta axis, and rotatably movable about said delta axis in relation to an envelope V,
- n cavities A_i which are shapes of revolution of axis β_i, distributed over the perimeter of F,
- in each cavity A_i is housed a roller G_i that rotates about the axis β_i, and has at least 2 faces, G_i_1 and G_i_2, the first of these faces G_i_1 being capable of ensuring sealing with the cavity A_i at some moments of the cycle of the system when this face is inside the cavity A_i and the section of which by a plane perpendicular to β_i, is an arc of circle centered on β_i, with a centre angle (G_i_1)
- a mechanical means that makes the rotation of each G_i about β_i proportional to the relative rotation of delta axis of the shape F relative to the envelope V,
- the envelope V being the envelope generated by the rollers G_i in their rotational motion about the β_i themselves driven by F, and the relative rotation of delta axis of the shape F relative to the envelope V,
- the face G_i_2 of G_i is the envelope generated by the envelope V at the level of G_i and thus ensures sealing between G_i and the envelope V,
- the assembly is carried out so that, if we consider a section by a plane perpendicular to delta, the envelope V, the shape F and one of the ends of the arc of circle G_i_1 of G_i, are in contact, in a same location, at a particular moment of the cycle,
- side walls or flanges J1 and J2 over which the shape F, the rollers Li, and the envelope V bear,
- the shape F, the rollers G_i, the envelope V, the flanges J1 and J2, delimiting volumes that are closed and variable at different moments of the cycle of the relative rotation of F relative to V,
- the engine being wherein at least 2 cavities A_i and A_i+1 are contiguous, and in that, between at least 2 consecutive cavities A_i and A_i+1, a passage is arranged so that, when one end of the envelope V is between these 2 cavities, the fluid that has been compressed by one of the faces of the end of the envelope V, can pass on the other face.
