Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des véhicules à moteurs à combustion interne et plus particulièrement les systèmes d'alimentation de ces moteurs.The present invention relates to the field of internal combustion engine vehicles and more particularly the power systems of these engines.
L'invention a pour objet un répartiteur ou collecteur d'admission pour moteur à combustion interne et un véhicule équipé d'un tel répartiteur.The invention relates to a distributor or intake manifold for an internal combustion engine and a vehicle equipped with such a distributor.
Il est connu que les carters des moteurs à combustion interne récupèrent, lors du fonctionnement desdits moteurs, un mélange gazeux qu'il y a lieu d'évacuer de manière régulée et de traiter, préférentiellement de recycler. Ce mélange gazeux résulte essentiellement de l'accumulation de fuites successives de gaz de combustion imbrûlés au niveau des segments des portions (d'où leur désignation anglaise de "blow-by gas"). Ces mélanges de gaz sont chargés en huile et doivent subir une ou plusieurs opération(s) de séparation avant leur réinjection. Ces opérations peuvent être réalisées soit à proximité immédiate des pistons, au moyen de dispositifs adéquats intégrés ou associés au bloc moteur (voir par exemple
Le transport de ces gaz issus du carter moteur suppose toutefois la prévision de conduits particuliers adaptés, nécessitant un encombrement propre et une connectique correspondante spécifique.The transport of these gases from the crankcase however supposes the provision of particular adapted ducts, requiring a clean space and a specific corresponding connection.
Or, l'environnement moteur est déjà extrêmement sollicité en termes de densité de raccordements et de présence d'équipements et toute mise en place de nouveaux circuits de circulation est pénalisante pour les équipements existants et fastidieuse pour le montage et la maintenance et augmente la complexité d'ensemble.However, the driving environment is already extremely stressed in terms of density of connections and the presence of equipment and any establishment of new traffic circuits is detrimental for existing equipment and tedious for assembly and maintenance and increases the complexity overall.
Le document
Le collecteur d'admission intègre un circuit de récupération et d'évacuation des gaz "blow-by" issus du carter de vilebrequin.The intake manifold incorporates a blow-by recovery and exhaust system from the crankcase.
Toutefois, ce circuit de récupération connu présente un encombrement important et une structure interne complexe.However, this known recovery circuit has a large footprint and a complex internal structure.
De plus, la solution proposée dans ce document allemand nécessite une extension importante de la surface de contact entre les brides de raccordement du bloc-culasses et du collecteur (au niveau des extrémités des tubulures).In addition, the solution proposed in this German document requires a significant extension of the contact surface between the connecting flanges of the cylinder head and the manifold (at the ends of the pipes).
En outre, la sortie des gaz "blow-by" est séparée et délocalisée par rapport à l'ouverture d'alimentation du collecteur, créant ainsi une autre interface de raccordement et nécessitant un circuit additionnel.In addition, the output of the "blow-by" gases is separated and delocalized with respect to the feed opening of the manifold, thus creating another connection interface and requiring an additional circuit.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer une solution permettant l'évacuation des gaz présents dans le carter, tout en évitant les principaux inconvénients exposés ci-dessus.The present invention aims to provide a solution for the evacuation of gas in the housing, while avoiding the main disadvantages described above.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un répartiteur ou collecteur d'admission constitué d'un corps creux formé par l'assemblage d'au moins deux parties constitutives venues de moulage de matériau(x) thermoplastique(s) ou de métal, ledit corps creux comprenant, d'une part, une chambre de mélange/distribution ou plénum avec au moins une ouverture d'alimentation associée à une platine de fixation ou analogue et, d'autre part, plusieurs tubulures reliées à ladite chambre et s'étendant depuis cette dernière, lesdites tubulures étant pourvues ou formant au niveau de leurs extrémités libres une platine de fixation et de raccordement étanche aux culasses des cylindres d'un moteur à combustion interne.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a distributor or intake manifold consisting of a hollow body formed by the assembly of at least two constituent parts coming from molding thermoplastic material (s) or metal said hollow body comprising, on the one hand, a mixing / distribution chamber or plenum with at least one supply opening associated with a mounting plate or the like and, on the other hand, a plurality of tubings connected to said chamber and extending from the latter, said pipes being provided or forming at their free ends a mounting plate and sealing connection to the cylinder heads of an internal combustion engine.
Ce répartiteur est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend également un circuit séparé ou dissocié de récupération et d'évacuation de gaz notamment des gaz de combustion imbrûlés émanant du carter et chargés d'huile ou gaz dits "blow-by", ce circuit étant intégré dans la structure dudit répartiteur, en ce que le circuit de récupération et d'évacuation intégré comprend, d'une part, au moins une première portion de conduit de récupération comportant une ouverture d'entrée destinée à être raccordée à un orifice de vidange présent au niveau d'une culasse, lors du montage du répartiteur sur le moteur, et, d'autre part, une seconde portion de conduit de collecte et/ou d'évacuation reliée fluidiquement à la ou chaque portion de récupération, et, en ce que la ou chaque première portion de conduit est au moins partiellement accolée à une tubulure, avec laquelle elle partage une partie de paroi commune, notamment à proximité de son ouverture d'entrée, et en ce que la seconde portion de conduit est au moins partiellement accolée à la chambre de mélange/distribution, avec laquelle elle partage une partie de paroi commune.This distributor is characterized in that it also comprises a separate or separate circuit for recovering and evacuating gases, in particular unburned combustion gases emanating from the casing and loaded with oil or gas called "blow-by", this circuit being integrated in the structure of said distributor, in that the integrated recovery and evacuation circuit comprises, on the one hand, at least a first portion of recovery conduit having an inlet opening intended to be connected to a drain orifice present at a cylinder head, when mounting the distributor on the engine, and, secondly, a second portion of collection conduit and / or evacuation fluidly connected to the or each recovery portion, and, in that the or each first portion of conduit is at least partially contiguous to a pipe, with which it shares a common wall portion, in particular near its inlet opening, and that the second portion of conduit is at least partially contiguous to the mixing / distribution chamber, with which it shares a common wall portion.
