Abstract:
A rotor machine comprising:a housing with an inlet opening and an outlet opening; a hollow cylinder in adjustable sliding connection with the housing, wherein the hollow cylinder includes a sinusoidal-like guide along an interior surface of the hollow cylinder; a rotor in rotating connection within the housing, wherein the rotor is operative to rotate within the hollow cylinder, wherein the rotor includes at least two slide valves that can move along the axis of rotation of the rotor; a working chamber restricted in a direction along a rotation axis of the rotor from one side by a first end of the rotor; a partition in fixed connection with the housing and extending within the working chamber, wherein the partition is in sliding contact with the first end of the rotor and separates the inlet and the outlet openings; a plurality of members in operative connection with the slide valves, wherein the plurality of members are in operative connection with the guide of the hollow cylinder and are operative to assign the axial mutual position of the slide valves, wherein the slide valves are mounted so that the slide valves can change position with respect to the housing and the rotor; a regulating member in fixed connection with the hollow cylinder, wherein the regulating member is operative to move along the rotation axis of the rotor and restrict the size of the working chamber between the regulating member and the first end of the rotor, wherein the slide valves are operative to change position with respect to the rotor as the regulating member is moving.
