AXIAL-PISTON STEAM ENGINE WITH CONTROLLED INCLINED DISC Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F01B3/02 F01B29/12 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: from one to eight axial-piston cylinders are positioned in the engine body, fixed by a hinged joint at the base to adjust the tilt angle of the cylinder during reciprocating piston motion with piston rods attached to them, pivotally mounted on the piston arms of the inclined disc. The piston rod is placed in the guide, fixed at the top of the cylinder to ensure alignment of the piston discs inside the cylinders. The inclined disc has a central pivot point mounted on a flexible or Z-shaped crankshaft. The operation of the valves is controlled by the arms connected by means of connecting rods, pivotally attached to the valve arms, disposed on the inclined disc. The valve connecting rods are connected to the valves of the working mixture distribution at the base of the cylinder by means of a crank, wherein the connecting point of the connecting rod on the inclined disc is shifted by 90 degrees relative to the attachment point of the piston drive rod of the cylinder connected to it.

EFFECT: precise synchronization of the intake and exhaust phases of the working mixture by valves for any piston stroke.
