2. Description of the Related Art As disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-64919, an outside air intake duct for an internal combustion engine for an automobile is provided with two systems, and an open / close valve is provided on one of the ducts.
In high-speed, high-load areas, this open / close valve is opened to take in outside air from both ducts, and in low-speed, low-load areas, the open / close valve is closed to take in outside air from only one duct. I have. In the intake system having such a configuration, since the open / close valve is provided in one of the outside air intake ducts, only one of the outside air intake duct portions is formed separately with the open / close valve in a unitized form, and the duct body is formed. A configuration that connects to the distal end side is common. As a result, the outside air intake duct including the on-off valve
While a relatively hard synthetic resin can be accurately molded by injection molding or the like, the duct body can be molded into a desired shape by low-cost blow molding.
