HYPOCYCLOID MECHANISM FOR CONVERTING RECIPROCATING MOTION INTO ROTATION Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; internal combustion engines, compressors and other machines. SUBSTANCE: rod with piston is installed in mechanism housing. Rod is connected for rotation with crankshaft installed on crank. Crank is installed in housing for rotation. Rotation synchronizer consisting of crankshaft gear and fixed internal gear is provided. Additional gear cluster is installed on crank. Axis of rotation of gear cluster is displaced in parallel relative to axis of crank rotation. gear cluster has internal gear engaging with crankshaft gear and external gear engaging with fixed gear. Use of additional gears increases reliability of mechanism owing to reduction of contact pressures in gear meshing of crankshaft gear and mating gear which has increased diameter. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of mechanism. 2 cl, 9 dwg
