Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method and to a port-controlled two-stroke internal combustion engine in which the cross-sections of the intake and outlet are so constructed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylinder that in the case of an upward or downward movement of the piston, the noise-generating intake and outlet pressure gradients and amplitudes are reduced by the gradual opening of the particular intake and outlet, the piston lower edge and intakes having special constructions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
340 words
A port-controlled two-stroke internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder having a longitudinal axis and constructed as a crankcase-scavenging pump, at least one intake duct leading into the crankcase interior in said cylinder and having an intake port, at least one outlet duct leading from said cylinder and having an outlet port, and scavenging ducts with overflow ports connected to said cylinder, wherein the intake port is formed by a rectangular section limited by an upper port edge and a lower port edge with an expansion section extending away from the lower port edge, and the outlet port is formed by a rectangular section limited by an upper port edge and a lower port edge with an expansion section extending away from the upper port edge, a piston located within said cylinder and being movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of said cylinder in an upward stroke and downward stroke passing said intake port and said outlet port, said piston having an upper edge and a lower edge, characterized in that the intake port (5) and the outlet port (17) are constructed symmetrically in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylinder and are shaped in the region of the expansion so that during movement of the piston in the direction of the longitudinal axis due to the gradual release of the intake port (5) and the outlet port (17) the noise-generating intake and outlet pressure gradients and amplitudes are reduced, the expansion sections of said intake port and said outlet port each comprising a first section with converging sides extending outwardly from said lower port edge of said intake port and from said upper port edge of said outlet port, and a second section with parallel sides extending from said converging sides outwardly from said intake port and said outlet port, and each of said upper edge and said lower edge of said piston having a recess formed inwardly therein and located opposite and aligned with said expansion sections of said intake and outlet ports.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
340 words
A port-controlled two-stroke internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder having a longitudinal axis and constructed as a crankcase-scavenging pump, at least one intake duct leading into the crankcase interior in said cylinder and having an intake port, at least one outlet duct leading from said cylinder and having an outlet port, and scavenging ducts with overflow ports connected to said cylinder, wherein the intake port is formed by a rectangular section limited by an upper port edge and a lower port edge with an expansion section extending away from the lower port edge, and the outlet port is formed by a rectangular section limited by an upper port edge and a lower port edge with an expansion section extending away from the upper port edge, a piston located within said cylinder and being movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of said cylinder in an upward stroke and downward stroke passing said intake port and said outlet port, said piston having an upper edge and a lower edge, characterized in that the intake port (5) and the outlet port (17) are constructed symmetrically in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylinder and are shaped in the region of the expansion so that during movement of the piston in the direction of the longitudinal axis due to the gradual release of the intake port (5) and the outlet port (17) the noise-generating intake and outlet pressure gradients and amplitudes are reduced, the expansion sections of said intake port and said outlet port each comprising a first section with converging sides extending outwardly from said lower port edge of said intake port and from said upper port edge of said outlet port, and a second section with parallel sides extending from said converging sides outwardly from said intake port and said outlet port, and each of said upper edge and said lower edge of said piston having a recess formed inwardly therein and located opposite and aligned with said expansion sections of said intake and outlet ports.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
Two-stroke internal combustion engine according to claim 1, characterized in that the expansion section of said outlet port (17) has, at right angles to the longitudinal axis (18) of the cylinder, a homologous geometry to the expansion section of said inlet port (5).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
Two-stroke internal combustion engine according to claim 1, characterized in that the recess (6) is constructed as a keyway (30) with a rectangular cross-section arranged on the piston edge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
Two-stroke internal combustion engine according to claim 1, characterized in that the recess is constructed as keyway (31) with a V-shaped cross-section arranged on the piston edge.
