Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air intake system in an engine, and particularly, to an improvement in an air intake system.in an engine, comprising a bypass passage bypassing a throttle valve and connected to an intake passage in a throttle body, and an actuator which is connected to a bypass valve for opening and closing the bypass passage and is operable to open and close the bypass valve.
  • an air intake system in an engine comprising a bypass passage bypassing a throttle valve and connected to an intake passage in a throttle body, and a bypass valve incorporated in the bypass passage for controlling the amount of intake air in the bypass passage by cooperation with a metering bore provided in the intermediate portion of the bypass passage, characterized in that the metering bore is disposed so as to be located above a bypass inlet bore and a bypass outlet bore of the bypass passage, which open into an upstream portion and a downstream portion of the intake passage, respectively, either when the intake passage is disposed horizontally and when the intake passage is disposed with an inlet thereof turned upwards.
  • the metering bore occupies a position above the bypass inlet bore and the bypass outlet bore. Therefore, even if a fluid foreign matter such as oil and water in a blow-by gas or an EGR gas enters the bypass passage, the foreign matter naturally flows down toward the bypass inlet bore and the bypass outlet bore after stoppage of the operation of the engine and hence, can be prevented from remaining deposited on a peripheral edge of the metering bore. Therefore, it is possible to previously avoid the failure of the operation and the deviation of the opening degree of the bypass valve due to the freezing or accumulation of the foreign matter on the peripheral edge of the metering bore.
  • the intake system has general-purpose properties as described above and hence, not only the degree of freedom of the layout thereof can be increased, but also the mass-productivity can be enhanced to provide a reduction in cost.
  • the bypass passage is defined in the throttle body and comprised of the bypass inlet bore and the bypass outlet bore, which open into the upstream portion and the downstream portion of the intake passage respectively with the throttle valve interposed therebetween, and a bypass intermediate portion which is provided in the device block detachably secured to a mounting surface formed on the throttle body and is connected at opposite ends thereof to the bypass inlet bore and the bypass outlet bore and has the metering bore therein at an intermediate location, and the bypass valve and an actuator for opening and closing the bypass valve are mounted to the device block.
  • the number of working steps for the throttle body can be reduced, and an assembly comprising the device block, the bypass valve and the actuator can be fabricated in parallel with the formation of the throttle body, leading to an enhancement in productivity. Moreover, if the device block is removed from the throttle body, the maintenance of the bypass passage, the bypass valve and the like can be carried out easily. Furthermore, it is possible to simply provide an air intake system of an engine having a different specification while using the same throttle body by changing the specifications of the bypass valve and the step motor in the device block, thereby enhancing the mass-productivity of the throttle body.
  • the device block is made of synthetic resin.
  • the bypass intermediate portion can be formed simultaneously with the formation of the device block of the synthetic resin and thus, it is easy to define the bypass passage. Moreover, the weight of the entire air intake system can be reduced by employing the lightweight device block made of the synthetic resin.
  • the actuator corresponds to a step motor 28 in an embodiment of the present invention which will be described hereinafter, and the output portion of the throttle sensor corresponds to a pickup coil 8b.

Moreover, the maintenance of the bypass passage 15, the bypass valve 25, the throttle sensor 8 and the like can be carried out by removing the device block 11 from the throttle body 1.
  • bypass intermediate portion 15m can be made simultaneously with the formation of the device block 11 made of the synthetic resin and hence, the fabricating time can be shortened largely. Further, the weight of the entire intake system can be reduced by employing the lightweight device block 11 of the synthetic resin.
  • the metering bore 20 is disposed above the bypass inlet bore 15i and the bypass outlet bore 15o and on the side of the inlet of the intake passage 2. Therefore, not only when the throttle body 1 is used as a side-draft type with the intake passage 2 disposed horizontally, as in the illustrated embodiment, but also when the throttle body 1 is used as a down-draft type with the inlet of the intake passage. 2 turned upwards, the metering bore 20 occupies a position above the bypass inlet bore 15i and the bypass outlet bore 15o, and the bypass passage 15 extends downwards toward the bypass inlet bore 15i and the bypass outlet bore 15o with the metering bore 20 always serving as the apex.

  • the device block 11 coupled to the mounting surface 10a of the housing 10 by the bolts 12, 12 is integrally formed with the collar 11c closing the open surface of the housing 10. Therefore, the open surface of the housing 10 can be closed simultaneously with the mounting of the device block 11 to the mounting surface 10a and thus, an exclusive lid for closing the open surface is not required, which can contribute to the simplification of the construction.
