V-TYPE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; multi-cylinder internal combustion piston engines. SUBSTANCE: engine has two cylinder banks 1 and 2 with included angle α between their axes, piston 3, connected rods 4 and crankshaft. Diameter of main journals 6 exceeds that of diameter of crankpins 5, journals and crankpins are directly connected. To provide uniformity of sequence of strokes at working process in separate cylinders each connecting rod 4 is connected with separate crankpin 5, and axes of crankpins connected with connecting rods of one cylinder bank are arranged at angle relative to each other where 720 - coefficient for four-stroke engine and i - number of cylinders; axes of crankpins connected with connecting rods of adjacent cylinder banks are arranged at angle Φ=α relative to each other. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities, enhanced reliability of operation. 3 dwg
