Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an intake system for an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • An intake system is used to supply fresh gas to cylinders of the internal combustion engine.
  • an intake system for a plurality of cylinders has a common fresh gas distributor, which receives the fresh gas on the input side from a single supply pipe and supplies on the output side the assigned cylinders or distributes them to them.
  • the fresh gas distributor for each associated cylinder has at least one fresh gas outlet, which communicates with a corresponding fresh gas inlet in the assembled state of the intake system, which is formed in the engine block of the internal combustion engine and leads to the combustion chamber of the respective cylinder.
  • Modern internal combustion engines can be equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation device, hereinafter referred to as an EGR device, which, at least in the case of certain operating states of the internal combustion engine, supplies a partial flow of the exhaust gases from the exhaust gas system the internal combustion engine branches off and leads back into the fresh gas supplied to the internal combustion engine.
  • the exhaust gas recirculation takes place relatively far upstream of the fresh gas outlets and, in particular, upstream of the fresh gas distributor in order to achieve the best possible thorough mixing of the exhaust gases with the fresh gas up to the fresh gas outlets.
  • the exhaust gas recirculation system for introducing the exhaust gases into the intake system is connected to the aforementioned feed pipe, which leads into the fresh gas distributor.

  • the present invention is concerned with the problem of providing for an intake system of the type mentioned an improved embodiment, for example, allows a compact design and / or advantageous for the performance and / or emissions of the internal combustion engine effects.
  • the present invention is based on the general idea of introducing the exhaust gases as close as possible to all fresh gas exits of the fresh gas distributor in the intake system.
  • the invention uses a distribution channel which is arranged on the fresh gas distributor so that it extends along all Frischgasaustritte associated with this fresh gas distributor. That is, in the fresh gas outlets, which are arranged adjacent to each other in a row next to each other, the distribution channel extends from the first to the last fresh gas outlet of this series.
  • the recirculated exhaust gases can be introduced through the distribution channel immediately upstream of each individual fresh gas outlet in the fresh gas distributor. Since the recirculated exhaust gas is distributed to the individual fresh gas outlets, each results in a sufficient mixing between the fresh gas and recirculated exhaust gas for each cylinder.
  • the exhaust gas recirculation device has a switching valve with an input and two outputs, wherein the input of the switching valve is connected to an exhaust gas recirculation valve or to an exhaust gas supply line of the exhaust gas recirculation device, while the first output of the switching valve is connected to the distribution channel and the second output of Switching valve is connected to an exhaust gas inlet of an exhaust gas cooler of the exhaust gas recirculation device.

Appropriately, the side exit can be additionally controlled. Such a layer loading technique is well known and therefore need not be explained in detail.
  • the return openings along the distribution channel can now be selectively positioned with respect to the main outlets or with respect to the side outlets, in particular with regard to a short flow path from the respective return opening from the selected exit.
  • This construction means that the recirculated exhaust gas leaves the fresh gas distributor essentially only through the respectively predetermined outlet.

  • the housing 35 of the EGR valve 11 has two coolant connections, namely a third coolant connection 36 and a fourth coolant connection 37.
  • the coolant connections 33, 34, 36, 37 are matched to one another in such a way that in the assembled state the coolant connection (Second coolant port 34) of the exhaust gas cooler 9 is directly connected to the one coolant port (third coolant port 36) of the EGR valve 11, so that it is possible to dispense with additional connecting pieces.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show in this regard, other embodiments which, however, may be constructed with respect to the other features substantially identical to the previously described embodiments.
  • two distribution channels 12 and 12 ' are provided, which are each arranged adjacent to all fresh gas outlets 4, wherein they are located respectively in the immediate vicinity of the fresh gas outlets 4.
  • Each distribution channel 12, 12 ' communicates with the fresh gas distributor 2, wherein the distribution channels 12, 12' here are each equipped with the discrete return openings 14, for each fresh gas outlet 4 each have a return opening 14.
  • a special feature is now seen in that the first Output 21 is connected to the one distribution channel 12, while the exhaust gas outlet 27 is connected to the other distribution channel 12 '. Accordingly, via the one distribution channel 12 exclusively uncooled exhaust gas in the fresh gas distributor.
  • a simultaneous and thereby separate supply of cooled and uncooled exhaust gases into the fresh gas distributor 2 can likewise be realized, without that for this purpose two separate distribution channels 12 and 12 'as in the embodiment of FIG. 6 are required.
  • the only distribution channel 12 is divided by a partition wall 38 into two separate distribution sub-channels 12a and 12b.
  • Each of these distribution sub-channels 12a, 12b again extends adjacent to all Frischgasaustritten 4 and preferably communicates via discrete return port 14 with the fresh gas manifold 12.
  • a Verteilerteilkanal 12a is connected to the first output 21 of the switching valve 10, while the other Distributing sub-channel 12b is connected to the exhaust gas outlet 27 of the exhaust gas cooler 9.
