THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPHERICAL ROTARY-PISTON MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to three-dimensional spherical rotary-piston machines which can be used as engines, pumps or compressors, including permitting control of the working characteristics. The three-dimensional spherical rotary-piston machine comprises a rotor consisting of a diaphragm and of two blades which are connected to the latter in an articulated manner and are fixed on shafts, and of a body which is mounted in a spherical cavity so as to form four working chambers. The body is constructed from two identical half bodies which are interconnected with the option of relative angular rotation in a plane not perpendicular to the axes of rotation of the shafts. The half bodies are equipped with supporting elements having shaft supports and elements arranged thereon, ensuring the functioning of the machine, with each supporting element being rotatable relative to the corresponding half body about the axis of the corresponding shaft, and said half bodies are provided with connections which do not permit the supporting elements to rotate relative to a plane passing through the shaft axes.
