  • Patent number: 10273946
    Abstract: A rotary fluid pump-motor includes first and second rotor assemblies and a bent cylinder sleeve. The first rotor assembly includes a first rotor, a piston cylinder, and a flange ring with an inclined guide surface. The second rotor assembly includes a second rotor and a piston. The first and second rotors are rotatably movable about inclined first and second rotor axes, respectively. The bent cylinder sleeve receives the piston cylinder and the piston therein through respective sleeve openings to define a piston chamber therebetween. The bent cylinder sleeve is in at least intermittent contacting relationship with the flange ring's inclined guide surface and rotatably movable about the first rotor axis with respect to the inclined guide surface such that the bent cylinder sleeve moves along the first rotor axis relative to the piston cylinder based upon its circumferential position along the inclined guide surface to correspondingly vary the piston chamber's volume.
