Piston mechanics and kinematics of an axial engine

摘要

Crankshaft drive for an engine, especially a diesel engine, with axial cylinder arrangement about a crankshaft with crank pin set at an angle and pistons running in the cylinders, on that side of which which is remote from the combustion chamber a piston pin is located, the non-positive connection between crankshaft and piston pin being made by individual connecting rods, which are designed so that at their end facing the crank pin they can rotate independently of one another about the crank pin axis or parallel to this and at the other end are supported so that they can rotate and slide in the piston pin.
