MULTI-CYLINDER TWO-STROKE RADIAL ENGINE

摘要

Multi-cylinder two-stroke radial engine, specially intended for use in models with a cubature in the order of 0.30-1.20 in<SUP>3</SUP> and particularly for model aircraft applications. It comprises (Figure 1) a cylindrical body (1) on the perimeter of which there are radially positioned cylinders (2) inside which travel pistons (2a) connected by means of connecting rods (6) to a configuration of an equal number of crankshafts (8a) that pass through the cylindrical body (1) and their gear wheels (8b) engage with a gear wheel (3a) of the central axis (3) in the interior of the body (1), which comprises the crankcase of the engine and is structured in such a way that the desired compression is achieved. A feature of the invention is the even distribution and simultaneous ignition of the combustible mixture in all cylinders by means of an even distribution arrangement, which according to one application of the invention, comprises a reed valve (40) which reciprocates for the two strokes of operation between the fuel intake channel 13a on the backplate of the engine and the reed retainer (41) that fits to the latter.
