| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an internal combustion engine (10, 58) that does not have a crankshaft, comprising at least one pair of horizontally opposed combustion cylinders (12, 14; 60, 62) in which pistons (16, 18; 64, 66) are moveably arranged. In order to simplify construction and improve the weight/power output ratio, at least one working cylinder (22, 70) with a moveable working piston (24, 72) and/or a power transmission unit (150) for converting a linear movement into a movement of rotation in association with a transmission element (152) is arranged between the combustion cylinders (12, 14; 60, 62). The working piston (24, 72) and/or transmission element (152) is coupled via piston rods (26, 28; 74, 76) to the pistons (16, 18; 64, 66) that are arranged in the combustion cylinders (12, 14; 60, 62). |
