PLANETARY ROTARY ENGINE WITH ROTARY RING VALVES

摘要

A rotary engine includes a housing and elliptical rotors mounted to rotor shafts for rotation within a chamber of the housing. A valve disk mounted to a rotor shaft includes a port passing between first and second sides. A valve plate includes a bore defining a cylindrical sidewall for rotationally receiving the valve disk. The valve disk includes a groove disposed in a wall, and includes a ring member disposed in the groove that contacts the sidewall of the bore when the valve disk is disposed in the bore. The apparatus may include multiple valve disks disposed in separate bores to operate as exhaust or intake valves. Circumferential channels may be included in the bore sidewalls within which the ring members are disposed.

1. A rotary apparatus, said rotary apparatus comprising:
a housing defining a housing chamber; a plurality of elliptical rotors, each said rotor being mounted to a rotor shaft with said rotors being rotatable within said housing chamber; a valve disk mounted to a said rotor shaft for rotation with said rotor shaft, said valve disk having a first side and a second side with a port passing there between; a valve plate, said valve plate including a bore for rotationally receiving said valve disk therein with said bore defining a cylindrical sidewall; said valve disk including a radial edge wall with a groove disposed in said edge wall, and including a ring member disposed in said groove, said ring member contacting said sidewall of said bore when said valve disk is disposed in said bore.
