Description
本發明係有關於一種自由活塞式史特靈引擎,特別是指一種具有釋放動能作用,可以使移氣器及動力活塞同步起動,並且使整體的體積縮小,不會產生側向應力及側向振動,且工作流體也不會洩漏出去,可達到完全氣密性之史特靈的引擎構造。 The invention relates to a free piston Stirling engine, in particular to a function of releasing kinetic energy, which can synchronously start the gas mover and the power piston, and reduce the overall volume without lateral stress and lateral direction. Vibration, and the working fluid will not leak out, to achieve the complete airtight Sterling engine construction.
由於地球環境暖化與汙染問題層出不窮,因此尋求再生能源以產生動力輸出,係已為一刻不容緩之重要目標;而史特靈引擎有別於內燃機需要燃料進入引擎內部爆炸燃燒,會排放廢氣或產生噪音,而是屬於外燃機,內部工作流體與外界並無質量交換,且經過外部熱源使得封閉系統中的工作流體有熱漲冷縮的行為,來驅動動力活塞進而對外做功,因此史特靈引擎,是一種利用熱端加熱來轉化為機械能的高效率外燃機。 Because the global environment warming and pollution problems are endless, it is an important goal to seek renewable energy to generate power output. The Stirling engine is different from the internal combustion engine, which requires fuel to enter the engine to explode and burn. Noise, but belongs to the external combustion engine, the internal working fluid has no mass exchange with the outside world, and through the external heat source, the working fluid in the closed system has the behavior of heat expansion and contraction to drive the power piston and then work externally, so Stirling The engine is a high-efficiency external combustion engine that uses hot end heating to convert into mechanical energy.
一般常見之史特靈引擎之構造,主要如第九圖所示,其主要係有一引擎腔體(A),該引擎腔體(A)內部係區分為一膨脹室(A1)及一壓縮室(A2),以供蓄積有一工作流體,又該膨脹室(A1)一端位於該引擎腔體(A)外側係設為一加熱端(A3),該加熱端(A3)係可與一加熱器〔圖中未示〕連接,以供使該加熱端(A3)昇溫,而該膨脹室(A1)之另一端位於該引擎腔體(A)外側則設為一冷卻端(A4),該冷卻端(A4)係可與一冷卻器〔圖中未示〕連接,以供使該冷卻端(A4)降溫;又設有一移氣器(B)可在該膨脹室(A1)與壓縮室(A2)間來回運動,另設有一動力活塞(C)可在該壓縮室(A2)內往復運動,該移氣器(B)設有一中央軸(B1)穿過該動力 活塞(C)之一軸孔(C1),其中,該中央軸(B1)連接有一第一圓線彈簧(B2),而該動力活塞(C)則連接有一第二圓線彈簧(C2),該第一圓線彈簧(B2)及該第二圓線彈簧(C2)之另一端均固接於該壓縮室(A2)內之另一端內壁上,另該移氣器(B)之直徑係略小於該膨脹室(A1)直徑,故於該移氣器(B)與該膨脹室(A1)內壁之間隙區隔出一再生通道(B3),該再生通道(B3)係可接通該膨脹室(A1)及該壓縮室(A2)。該史特靈引擎作動時,係利用一加熱器對於該加熱端(A3)加熱使其昇溫,而該膨脹室(A1)內之工作流體受熱後開始膨脹,而壓力變大,則會推動該移氣器(B)向壓縮室(A2)移動,該中央軸(B1)則會抵壓該第一圓線彈簧(B2),也會逐漸推動該動力活塞(C)移動,並抵壓該第二圓線彈簧(C2);當該冷卻器啟動後對於該冷卻端(A4)內之工作流體降溫,使該壓縮室(A2)及該膨脹室(A1)內的工作流體收縮,而壓力則會變小,因此使該移氣器(B)及該動力活塞(C)配合其第一圓線彈簧(B2)及該第二圓線彈簧(C2)之彈性回復力,而回復至原位,如此,利用其加熱及冷卻之交互作用,而往復循環輸出動力以供運用。 The structure of the Sterling engine, which is generally common, is mainly shown in the ninth figure. It mainly has an engine cavity (A), and the inside of the engine cavity (A) is divided into an expansion chamber (A1) and a compression chamber. (A2) for accumulating a working fluid, and one end of the expansion chamber (A1) is located outside the engine cavity (A) as a heating end (A3), and the heating end (A3) is compatible with a heater a connection (not shown) for heating the heating end (A3), and the other end of the expansion chamber (A1) is located outside the engine cavity (A) as a cooling end (A4), the cooling The end (A4) is connectable to a cooler (not shown) for cooling the cooling end (A4); and a gas mover (B) is provided in the expansion chamber (A1) and the compression chamber ( A2) moves back and forth, and another power piston (C) is reciprocated in the compression chamber (A2), and the air mover (B) is provided with a central shaft (B1) through the power a shaft hole (C1) of the piston (C), wherein the central shaft (B1) is connected with a first round spring (B2), and the power piston (C) is connected with a second round spring (C2), The other ends of the first round spring (B2) and the second round spring (C2) are fixed to the inner wall of the other end of the compression chamber (A2), and the diameter of the air mover (B) is Slightly smaller than the diameter of the expansion chamber (A1), a regeneration passage (B3) is separated from the gap between the air mover (B) and the inner wall of the expansion chamber (A1), and the regeneration passage (B3) can be connected. The expansion chamber (A1) and the compression chamber (A2). When the Stirling engine is actuated, the heating end (A3) is heated by a heater to raise the temperature, and the working fluid in the expansion chamber (A1) starts to expand after being heated, and the pressure becomes large, which pushes the The air mover (B) moves toward the compression chamber (A2), and the central shaft (B1) presses against the first round spring (B2), and also gradually pushes the power piston (C) to move, and presses the a second round wire spring (C2); when the cooler is started, cooling the working fluid in the cooling end (A4), causing the working fluid in the compression chamber (A2) and the expansion chamber (A1) to contract, and the pressure It will become smaller, so that the air mover (B) and the power piston (C) cooperate with the elastic recovery force of the first round spring (B2) and the second round spring (C2), and return to the original In this way, the interaction between heating and cooling is utilized, and the reciprocating cycle outputs power for operation.
惟如此之構造,由於該移氣器(B)及該動力活塞(C)二者之間並未直接連結,而係分別連接於該第一圓線彈簧(B2)及該第二圓線彈簧(C2),因此在其開始移動時會有先、後分別起動的時間差之缺點存在,而且該第一圓線彈簧(B2)及該第二圓線彈簧(C2)係具有一定之長度,故造成該引擎腔體(A)的長度變長,而使得整體之體積變大,而且該第一圓線彈簧(B2)及該第二圓線彈簧(C2)的衝程較大,於移動時容易產生側向應力及側向振動,以致於影響到作動,另該壓縮室(A2)內的工作流體,亦容易由該中央軸(B1)與該軸孔(C1)之間的隙縫洩漏出去,而致氣密性不佳。 However, in this configuration, since the air mover (B) and the power piston (C) are not directly coupled, they are respectively connected to the first round spring (B2) and the second round spring. (C2), therefore, there is a disadvantage that the time difference between starting and then starting separately when the movement starts, and the first round spring (B2) and the second round spring (C2) have a certain length, so The length of the engine cavity (A) is lengthened, so that the overall volume becomes large, and the strokes of the first round spring (B2) and the second round spring (C2) are large, and it is easy to move. The lateral stress and the lateral vibration are generated so as to affect the actuation, and the working fluid in the compression chamber (A2) is also easily leaked out from the gap between the central shaft (B1) and the shaft hole (C1). The air tightness is not good.
又有如中華民國97年7月21日所告之新型第M336994號「結合史特林引擎之熱動力裝置」專利案,其係揭露:包含一史特林引擎以及一汽缸;該史特林引擎包含一連動組件及一氣壓缸,該連動組件包括一往復元件,而該氣 壓缸具有一缸體、容設於該缸體內之一活塞、及連接該活塞與該往復元件之一連接桿,該缸體具有一冷卻端及形成於該冷卻端之另一側的一受熱端;該汽缸包含一底板及結合於該底板之一蓋體,並在該底板與該蓋體之間形成有一腔室及連通該腔室之一進氣口及出氣口,該腔室係供該氣壓缸及該往復元件容設,且該受熱端係連接於該底板上;藉此,以增加冷卻端之散熱效果,進而提昇此熱動力裝置之產出效能。 There is also a new patent No. M336994, "The Thermal Power Unit Combined with Stirling Engine", which was announced on July 21, 1997.

惟,上述該專利前案,其連接該活塞與該往復元件之間,係以一連接桿作結合,以達到使該活塞與該往復元件同步連動之作用,然,由於其幫助該往復元件往下移動之彈性元件仍為一圓線彈簧之構造,故仍然存在有長度較長,造成汽缸體積變大,以及衝程較大,於移動時容易產生側向應力及側向振動,而影響到作動等缺點存在,因此在使用上仍不盡理想。 However, in the above-mentioned patent, the connection between the piston and the reciprocating member is combined by a connecting rod to achieve the function of synchronously interlocking the piston with the reciprocating member, however, since it assists the reciprocating member The lower moving elastic element is still a round wire spring structure, so there is still a long length, resulting in a larger cylinder volume, and a larger stroke, which tends to generate lateral stress and lateral vibration during movement, and affects actuation, etc. The shortcomings exist, so it is still not ideal in use.

The power piston (2) is located at the bottom dead center, and the volume of the overall working fluid remains unchanged. The working fluid passes through the regeneration passage (31) and heats up first, and the gas mover (3) returns to the top dead center. The power piston (2) returns to the bottom dead center; the third stage is the isothermal compression process, the gas mover (3) is at the top dead center, and the power piston (2) moves to the upper dead center, thereby compressing the working fluid, resulting in The internal pressure of the engine cavity (1) is increased, so that the working fluid moves to the cooling end (14) to release heat, while the working fluid temperature remains unchanged, while the second planar spring (41) releases its accumulated kinetic energy. The central shaft (41) synchronously pulls the power piston (2) back to the top dead center, and the first planar spring (22) simultaneously releases its accumulated kinetic energy to help the power piston (2) move; the fourth stage The isovolumic regenerative endothermic process, which drives the mover (3) to gradually move to the bottom dead center. The working fluid is pushed to the expansion chamber (12), and the power piston (2) is at the top dead center, so that the volume of the overall working fluid does not change, and the working fluid can pass from the regeneration channel when passing through the regeneration passage (31) ( 31) preheating in the middle, such four processes complete a Stirling cycle; therefore, the heating end (13) is used to heat the heating and the cooling end (14) cools and cools the interaction, and the power piston (2) can output power.
