Abstract

A reciprocating engine includes: an inner stator having an axis; a mover that has a cylindrical shape and is placed coaxially around the inner stator, and that moves reciprocatingly along the axis; and an outer stator that has a cylindrical shape and is placed coaxially around the mover, wherein the outer stator has: an aperture portion that is formed in an inner circumferential surface thereof that faces the mover; an internal space that opens via the aperture portion; and a wound wire coil that is placed inside the internal space, and wherein the mover has: a field magnet portion; and restoring magnet portions that are provided respectively at both end positions along the axis of the field magnet portion.

Claims (27)

1 . A reciprocating engine comprising:

an inner stator having an axis;

a mover that has a cylindrical shape and is placed coaxially around the inner stator, and that moves reciprocatingly along the axis; and

an outer stator that has a cylindrical shape and is placed coaxially around the mover,

wherein the outer stator has:

an aperture portion that is formed in an inner circumferential surface thereof that faces the mover;

an internal space that opens via the aperture portion; and

a wound wire coil that is placed inside the internal space,

wherein the mover has:

a field magnet portion; and

restoring magnet portions that are provided respectively at both end positions along the axis of the field magnet portion, and

wherein boundary faces between the field magnet portion and the respective restoring magnet portions are each positioned such that, when the mover arrives at a stroke end position where the load on the reciprocating engine is at maximum, the boundary faces advance beyond an aperture circumferential edge of the aperture portion and reach to an inside of the aperture portion.

2 . The reciprocating engine according to claim 1 , wherein

when the outer stator is viewed in a cross section which includes the axis, an undercut portion that is hollowed out from the inner circumferential surface towards the outside in the radial direction is formed in the aperture circumferential edge of the outer stator.

3 . A reciprocating engine comprising:

an inner stator having an axis;

a mover that has a cylindrical shape and is placed coaxially around the inner stator, and that moves reciprocatingly along the axis; and

an outer stator that has a cylindrical shape and is placed coaxially around the mover,

wherein the outer stator has:

an aperture portion that is formed in an inner circumferential surface side thereof that faces the mover;

an internal space that opens via the aperture portion;

a wound wire coil that is placed inside the internal space; and

a undercut portion that is formed in the aperture circumferential edge of the aperture portion and that, when viewed in a cross section which includes the axis, is hollowed out from the inner circumferential surface side towards the outside in the radial direction,

wherein the mover has:

a field magnet portion; and

restoring magnet portions that are provided respectively at both end positions along the axis of the field magnet portion, and

wherein boundary faces between the field magnet portion and the respective restoring magnet portions are each positioned such that, when the mover arrives at a stroke end position where the load on the reciprocating engine is at maximum, the boundary faces reach to a position of the undercut portion.
