Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、複数の吸気管を備えるエンジンの吸気装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
例えば、4サイクル単気筒エンジンの吸気系には、複数の吸気管が備えられ、このそれぞれの吸気管をエアクリーナに接続したものがある。例えば、図9(a)に示すように、エンジン100に接続した2本の吸気管101,102にエアクリーナ103を接続することが考えられるが、吸気管101,102の形状の僅かな相違により共鳴周波数fL1,fL2が微妙に異なる。このため、図9(b)に示すように、共鳴周波数fL1が小さい場合での2本の吸気管内音圧は、逆位相となり騒音レベルは小さくなるが、共鳴周波数fL2が大きい場合での2本の吸気管内音圧は、同位相となるので騒音レベルが大となる。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このため、例えば、共鳴周波数fL2が大きい場合での騒音レベルが大となることの対策として、例えば、図10(a)に示すように、レゾネータ104を吸気管102に取り付けることが考えられ、図10(b)に示すように、共鳴周波数fL2が大きい場合での騒音レベルは低減するが、今まで逆位相で小さかった共鳴周波数fL1の共鳴が、吸気管101の単独共鳴となり、共鳴周波数fL1が小さい場合での騒音レベルが大となる。
【0004】
また、例えば、図11(a)に示すように、吸気管101,102にそれぞれレゾネータ105,106を取り付けることが考えられ、図11(b)に示すように、共鳴周波数fL1,fL2の騒音レベルは低減するが、新たな共鳴が4つ発生し、しかも構造が複雑で、配置スペースの確保が容易でない等の問題がある。
【0005】
この発明は、かかる事情に鑑みてなされたもので、吸気騒音を低減し、簡単な構造で、しかも低コスト、小型であるエンジンの吸気装置を提供することを目的としている。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決し、かつ目的を達成するために、請求項1記載の発明は、エンジンに複数の吸気管を接続し、このそれぞれの吸気管をエアクリーナに接続したエンジンの吸気装置において、前記複数の吸気管を、前記エアクリーナの下流側で接続し、この接続部または接続部近傍にレゾネータを備えることを特徴としている。
【0007】
このように、複数の吸気管を連通させることで、逆位相となる共鳴周波数が小さい場合での吸気騒音レベルを低減すると共に、レゾネータにより共鳴周波数が大きい場合での吸気騒音レベルを低減することができ、しかも簡単な構造で、低コスト、小型である。また、単一のレゾネータでよくなり、レゾネータ交換時のチューニングが簡単である。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の4サイクルエンジンの吸気装置の実施例を図面により説明する。
【0009】
まず、図1乃至図4の実施例について説明する。図1は吸気装置を備える単気筒4サイクルエンジンの側面図、図2はレゾネータの配置を示す平面図、図3はレゾネータの配置を示す側面図、図4はレゾネータの側面図である。
【0010】
図において、符号1は自動二輪車に搭載された単気筒の4サイクルエンジンで、気筒2には不図示の2つの吸気弁を介してそれぞれ吸気管4,5が接続されている。吸気管4,5には、それぞれ気化器6,7が接続され、さらに気化器6,7にはエアクリーナ8が接続されている。吸気管4,5には、図3に示すように、上側に接続部4a,5aが形成され、この接続部4a,5aにレゾネータ9の取付部9a,9bを挿着して止め具10,11で締付固定し、気化器6,7の下流側にレゾネータ9が備えられている。
【0011】
レゾネータ9の上方位置には、図3に示すように、車体フレーム12が配置され、さらに車体フレーム12を跨ぐように燃料タンク13が配置されている。燃料タンク13の下部には、燃料コック14が取り付けられている。車体フレーム12にはブラケット15が溶接され、このブラケット15にステー16を介して点火コイル17が取付られている。
【0012】
レゾネータ9の上部はダンパ18を介して点火コイル17に当接支持され、レゾネータ9の振動が抑えられている。ダンパ18は、スポンジまたはゴム等が用いられる。
【0013】
また、レゾネータ9は、吸気管4側で更に外側方に延びる部分9cを有し、吸気管5側で上方に延びる部分9dを有する。この吸気管5側で上方に延びる部分9dの側部は、自動二輪車の側方に面し、所定の広さを有する面を構成するが、図4に示すようなリブ9eが縦横に形成され、振動に対する補強となっていることにより、自動二輪車の側方へ向け発せられる吸気音を低減している。
【0014】
また、レゾネータ9には、気化器6,7に設けられてスロットルのリンク50に対する干渉防止の逃げ9fが形成され、この逃げ9fはリブ9eと同様にレゾネータ9の前面の補強に貢献し、外部へ洩れる吸気音を低減している。
【0015】
このように、レゾネータ9により複数の吸気管4,5を連通させることで、逆位相となる共鳴周波数が小さい場合での吸気騒音レベルを低減すると共に、レゾネータ9により共鳴周波数が大きい場合での吸気騒音レベルを低減することができ、しかもレゾネータ9により吸気管4,5を連結しているため、特に連結管を必要とすることなく簡単な構造で、低コスト、小型である。また、単一のレゾネータ9でよくなり、レゾネータ効果のチューニングが簡単である。
【0016】
また、レゾネータ9は、4サイクルエンジン1の気筒2と気化器6,7の間で、しかも吸気管4,5と車体フレーム12及び燃料タンク13の間の空間に配置され、自動二輪車に搭載された単気筒の4サイクルエンジン1の空間を有効に利用してレゾネータ9が備えられている。
【0017】
なお、レゾネータ9の配置は、エアクリーナ8の下流側なら特に限定されず、また気化器を有しないインジェクタで燃料を供給するエンジンでもよい。
【0018】
次に、他の実施例を、図5に示す。この実施例では、吸気管4,5をエアクリーナ8の下流側で連結管20で接続し、この接続部近傍の吸気管5の側部にレゾネータ9を備えている。また、図6に示すように、接続部近傍の吸気管5の上側にレゾネータ9を備えてもよい。さらに、図7に示すように、接続部近傍の吸気管4の上側にレゾネータ9を備えてもよい。
【0019】
さらに、他の実施例を、図8に示す。この実施例では、吸気管4,5をエアクリーナ8の下流側で連結管30で接続し、この接続する連結管30にレゾネータ9を備えている。
【0020】
このように、吸気管4,5を接続することで、接続部または接続部近傍にレゾネータ9を備えても、音圧レベルは吸気管4,5及び接続部または接続部近傍はほぼ同じになるため吸気騒音を低減できる。
【0021】
以上の実施例は、単気筒4サイクルエンジンで吸気管が2本接続されたものに対する実施例であり、この場合は各吸気管への入力、すなわち燃焼室で生じる吸気負圧は同位相であり、所定の位置における音圧のピークが現れるタイミングにずれがないため、それを考慮する必要はないが、この発明を吸気行程が同時でない多気筒エンジンの複数の吸気管に対し適用する際には入力に位相差があるため、上記タイミングのずれを考慮することで適用が可能となる。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
前記したように、請求項1記載の発明は、複数の吸気管を、エアクリーナの下流側で接続し、この接続部または接続部近傍にレゾネータを備え、複数の吸気管を連通させるから、逆位相となる共鳴周波数が小さい場合での吸気騒音レベルを低減すると共に、レゾネータにより共鳴周波数が大きい場合での吸気騒音レベルを低減することができ、しかも簡単な構造で、低コスト、小型である。また、単一のレゾネータでよくなり、レゾネータ効果のチューニングが簡単である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an intake device for an engine including a plurality of intake pipes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, an intake system of a four-cycle single-cylinder engine includes a plurality of intake pipes, each of which is connected to an air cleaner. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, it is conceivable to connect an air cleaner 103 to two intake pipes 101 and 102 connected to the engine 100, but resonance occurs due to a slight difference in the shape of the intake pipes 101 and 102. The frequencies f L1 and f L2 are slightly different. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 9B, the sound pressures in the two intake pipes when the resonance frequency f L1 is small are opposite in phase and the noise level is small, but the resonance frequency f L2 is large. Since the two intake pipe sound pressures have the same phase, the noise level becomes large.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
For this reason, for example, as a countermeasure against an increase in the noise level when the resonance frequency f L2 is large, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A, it is conceivable to attach the resonator 104 to the intake pipe 102. As shown in FIG. 10B, the noise level is reduced when the resonance frequency f L2 is large, but the resonance at the resonance frequency f L1 , which has been small in the opposite phase until now, becomes the single resonance of the intake pipe 101, and the resonance. The noise level becomes large when the frequency f L1 is small.
[0004]
Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), it is conceivable to attach the resonators 105 and 106 to the intake pipes 101 and 102, respectively, and as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the resonance frequencies f L1 and f L2 Although the noise level is reduced, four new resonances occur, the structure is complicated, and it is not easy to secure the arrangement space.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an intake device for an engine that reduces intake noise, has a simple structure, is low-cost, and is small.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object, an invention according to claim 1 is an engine intake device in which a plurality of intake pipes are connected to an engine, and each of the intake pipes is connected to an air cleaner. The intake pipe is connected on the downstream side of the air cleaner, and a resonator is provided in or near the connection portion.
[0007]
In this way, by connecting a plurality of intake pipes, it is possible to reduce the intake noise level when the resonance frequency having the opposite phase is small, and to reduce the intake noise level when the resonance frequency is high by the resonator. It is simple and has a low cost and a small size. Also, a single resonator is sufficient, and tuning when replacing the resonator is easy.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of an intake device for a four-cycle engine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0009]
First, the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described. 1 is a side view of a single-cylinder four-cycle engine provided with an intake device, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the arrangement of resonators, FIG. 3 is a side view showing the arrangement of resonators, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the resonator.
[0010]
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a single-cylinder four-cycle engine mounted on a motorcycle, and intake pipes 4 and 5 are connected to the cylinder 2 via two intake valves (not shown). Vaporizers 6 and 7 are connected to the intake pipes 4 and 5, respectively, and an air cleaner 8 is connected to the vaporizers 6 and 7. As shown in FIG. 3, the intake pipes 4 and 5 are formed with connecting portions 4a and 5a on the upper side, and the attachment portions 9a and 9b of the resonator 9 are inserted into the connecting portions 4a and 5a. 11 and a resonator 9 is provided downstream of the vaporizers 6 and 7.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 3, a vehicle body frame 12 is disposed above the resonator 9, and a fuel tank 13 is disposed so as to straddle the vehicle body frame 12. A fuel cock 14 is attached to the lower part of the fuel tank 13. A bracket 15 is welded to the vehicle body frame 12, and an ignition coil 17 is attached to the bracket 15 via a stay 16.
[0012]
The upper portion of the resonator 9 is abutted and supported by the ignition coil 17 via the damper 18 so that the vibration of the resonator 9 is suppressed. The damper 18 is made of sponge or rubber.
[0013]
The resonator 9 has a portion 9c that extends further outward on the intake pipe 4 side, and a portion 9d that extends upward on the intake pipe 5 side. The side portion of the portion 9d extending upward on the intake pipe 5 side faces the side of the motorcycle and forms a surface having a predetermined area. Ribs 9e as shown in FIG. 4 are formed vertically and horizontally. By being reinforced against vibration, the intake sound emitted toward the side of the motorcycle is reduced.
[0014]
Further, the resonator 9 is provided with carburetors 6 and 7 and is provided with a relief 9f for preventing interference with the throttle link 50. This relief 9f contributes to the reinforcement of the front surface of the resonator 9 like the rib 9e. The intake noise that leaks into the air is reduced.
[0015]
In this way, by connecting the plurality of intake pipes 4, 5 with the resonator 9, the intake noise level when the resonance frequency that is in reverse phase is low is reduced, and the intake air when the resonance frequency is high with the resonator 9. Since the noise level can be reduced and the intake pipes 4 and 5 are connected by the resonator 9, the structure is simple, low cost, and small without the need for a connection pipe. Also, a single resonator 9 is sufficient, and the tuning of the resonator effect is simple.
[0016]
The resonator 9 is disposed between the cylinder 2 of the four-cycle engine 1 and the carburetors 6 and 7 and in the space between the intake pipes 4 and 5 and the vehicle body frame 12 and the fuel tank 13, and is mounted on the motorcycle. The resonator 9 is provided by effectively using the space of the single-cylinder four-cycle engine 1.
[0017]
The arrangement of the resonator 9 is not particularly limited as long as it is on the downstream side of the air cleaner 8 and may be an engine that supplies fuel with an injector having no carburetor.
[0018]
Next, another embodiment is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the intake pipes 4 and 5 are connected by a connecting pipe 20 on the downstream side of the air cleaner 8, and a resonator 9 is provided on the side of the intake pipe 5 in the vicinity of the connection part. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a resonator 9 may be provided on the upper side of the intake pipe 5 in the vicinity of the connecting portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a resonator 9 may be provided on the upper side of the intake pipe 4 in the vicinity of the connection portion.
[0019]
Furthermore, another embodiment is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the intake pipes 4 and 5 are connected by a connecting pipe 30 on the downstream side of the air cleaner 8, and the resonator 9 is provided in the connecting connecting pipe 30.
[0020]
In this way, by connecting the intake pipes 4 and 5, even if the resonator 9 is provided in the connection part or the vicinity of the connection part, the sound pressure level is substantially the same in the intake pipes 4 and 5 and the connection part or the vicinity of the connection part. Therefore, intake noise can be reduced.
[0021]
The above embodiment is an embodiment for a single cylinder four-cycle engine in which two intake pipes are connected. In this case, the input to each intake pipe, that is, the intake negative pressure generated in the combustion chamber is in phase. However, since there is no deviation in the timing at which the sound pressure peak appears at a predetermined position, it is not necessary to consider this. However, when the present invention is applied to a plurality of intake pipes of a multi-cylinder engine in which the intake stroke is not simultaneous, Since there is a phase difference in the input, application is possible by taking the timing deviation into consideration.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the invention according to claim 1 connects a plurality of intake pipes on the downstream side of the air cleaner, and includes a resonator near the connection part or in the vicinity of the connection part. The intake noise level when the resonance frequency becomes small can be reduced, and the intake noise level when the resonance frequency is high can be reduced by the resonator, and the structure is simple, low cost, and small. Also, a single resonator is sufficient, and tuning of the resonator effect is easy.
