ROTOR ENGINE WITH UNLOADABLE SUPPORTING ASSEMBLIES Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has enclosed hollow body, rotor operating member in hollow of body, operating member shaft, supporting assemblies on operating member shaft and means for unloading said assemblies. Means for unloading support assemblies in case of axial loads is made in form of a disk, placed in hollow of body from the side of direction of axial load between body wall and end surface of operating member. Means for unloading support assemblies in case of radial loads is made in form of curved plate placed in hollow of body on the side of direction of radial load between body wall and side surface of operating member. Disk and curved plate are fixed in the body and are capable of linear reciprocal movements along load direction. EFFECT: assured additional unloading in axial direction and possible adjustment of created unloading force by achieving device operation for unloading supporting assemblies independently of operating member shaft rotation. 3 dwg
