PISTON MECHANISM ASSEMBLY

摘要

A piston mechanism assembly includes a piston group that includes two annulus-shaped undulant-surface pistons that axially mate each other and movable relative to each other. Each undulant-surface piston includes an axial through hole and has an end forming a continuous undulant surface. Each undulant surface includes at least two crest portions and two trough portions to mate another undulant surface. Two outer rings surround an outer circumference of the piston group and are respectively movable in synchronization with each piston and have outer ring gates corresponding to the undulant surfaces. Two inner rings are respectively received in the axial through holes of each undulant-surface piston to be movable therewith and have inner ring gates corresponding to the continuous undulant surfaces. While the two pistons rotate relative to each other, an axial reciprocal motion is induced by the undulant surfaces on the pistons to cause volume variation of chambers therebetween.

1. A piston mechanism assembly, comprising:
a piston group, which comprises two annulus-shaped undulant-surface pistons, each of which comprises an axial through hole and one end with continuous undulant surface waved in circumferential direction, each continuous undulant surface comprising at least two crest portions and two trough portions to mate another continuous undulant surface, the two undulant-surface pistons being arranged coaxially to assemble each other in relative motion with the continuous undulant surface; a first outer ring, which is provided on an outer circumference of one of the undulant surface pistons to move synchronously therewith and is arranged to cover the surface wherein the two undulant surface pistons are assembled, the first outer ring comprising first outer ring gate that correspond in number and positions to the crest portions and extend through the first outer ring; a second outer ring, which corresponds to the first outer ring and is provided on an outer circumference of another one of the undulant-surface pistons to move synchronously and cover the surface wherein the two undulant-surface pistons are assembled, the second outer ring comprising second outer ring gate that correspond in number and positions to the first outer ring gate and extend through the second outer ring, whereby when the two undulant-surface pistons are set in assembling engagement with each other, the first outer ring and the second outer ring movably overlap each other and are relatively movable with respect to each other and the first outer ring gate and the second outer ring gate correspond to each other in position and are located at the site of assembling between the two continuous undulant surfaces; a first inner ring, which is provided in the axial through hole of one of the undulant-surface pistons to move synchronously, and comprises first inner ring gate that correspond in number and positions to the crest portions and extend through the first inner ring; and a second inner ring, which corresponds to the first inner ring and is provided in the axial through hole of another one of the undulant-surface pistons to move synchronously, and comprises second inner ring gate that correspond in number and positions to the first inner ring gates, whereby when the two undulant-surface pistons are set in assembling engagement with each other, the first inner ring and the second inner ring movably overlap each other and are relatively movable with respect to each other and the first inner ring gate and the second inner ring gate correspond to each other in position and are located at the location of assembling between the two continuous undulant surfaces.
