Description

  The present invention relates to an intake device for an engine, and more particularly to an intake device that introduces intake air into a plurality of cylinders of an engine.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an intake device is known in which a chamber for equalizing the supply amount and supply pressure of intake air to a plurality of cylinders is provided in the middle of an intake passage for introducing intake air into a cylinder of an engine.
Since the blow-in gas and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) gas are recirculated in the intake air flowing into the chamber, moisture and oil contained in these gases are condensed in the chamber and are formed in the lower part of the chamber. May accumulate. If the moisture or oil accumulated in the lower part of the chamber is left as described above, problems such as freezing and blockage of the intake flow path occur. Therefore, it is necessary to suck out the moisture and oil from the chamber and introduce them into the engine cylinder together with the intake air.

In view of this, an intake device is used in which water and oil accumulated in the lower part of the chamber are sucked into the cylinder of the engine.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an intake manifold that allows an engine to suck water and oil below a surge tank (chamber). The intake manifold of Patent Document 1 includes a surge tank, a plurality of intake branches that are connected to the surge tank and guide intake air to each of a plurality of cylinders of an engine, and a plurality of communication pipes that connect the surge tank and each intake branch. And have. Water and oil in the lower part of the surge tank are sucked up into each intake branch through this communication pipe by the pressure difference between the surge tank and each intake branch, and sucked into the engine.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, in an intake manifold similar to Patent Document 1, a communication pipe that communicates an intake flow upstream side of a throttle valve and an intake branch, a discharge pipe that communicates a lower part of a surge tank and a communication pipe, An intake manifold is disclosed. In the intake manifold of Patent Document 2, water and oil below the surge tank are pushed into the communication pipe via the discharge pipe, and are generated between the intake flow upstream side and the intake flow downstream side of the throttle valve. Due to the differential pressure, water and oil inside the communication pipe are pumped to the intake branch.

  However, in the intake manifold of Patent Document 1 described above, there is a problem that moisture and oil cannot be reliably sucked up from the surge tank because the differential pressure between the surge tank and each intake branch is not sufficient. Further, since a communication pipe for sucking up moisture and oil from the surge tank is provided for each intake branch, the structure of the intake manifold is complicated.

  Further, in the intake manifold described in Patent Document 2 described above, since the differential pressure generated between the intake flow upstream side and the intake flow downstream side of the throttle valve is not sufficient, water and oil inside the communication pipe can be reliably supplied to the intake branch. The problem arises in that it cannot be pumped.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and with a simple configuration, moisture and oil accumulated in the lower part of the chamber can be reliably sucked out and introduced into the cylinder of the engine. An object of the present invention is to provide an intake device for an engine.

In order to achieve the above object, an intake device for an engine according to the present invention is an intake device that introduces intake air into a plurality of cylinders of an engine, and an inflow port through which intake air flows is formed.

In the present invention configured as described above, when the intake air flows into the throttle intake passage from the chamber during the operation of the engine, the flow velocity of the intake air increases and the pressure decreases according to the decrease in the cross-sectional area of the flow passage. A differential pressure is generated between the lower portion and the downstream portion of the throttle intake passage. The suction passage communicates the lower portion of the chamber where the differential pressure is generated with the downstream portion of the throttle intake passage. Moisture and oil accumulated in the lower portion of the chamber can be reliably sucked up from the chamber through the suction passage due to the differential pressure generated between the downstream portion of the intake passage.

As a result, a differential pressure is generated between the lower portion of the chamber and the intermediate portion of the throttle communication passage. The chamber communication passage communicates the lower portion of the chamber where the differential pressure is generated with the intermediate portion of the throttle communication passage. In addition to the differential pressure between the lower part of the chamber and the downstream part of the throttle intake passage, the water or oil accumulated in the lower part of the chamber is caused by the differential pressure generated between the intermediate part of the throttle communication path and the lower part of the chamber. Can be reliably sucked up from the chamber through the chamber communication passage and the throttle communication passage.

In the present invention configured as described above, a part of the throttle communication passage and the chamber communication passage are in close contact with the outer surface of the chamber, so that heat can be efficiently absorbed from the intake air flowing into the chamber. Accordingly, even when the water inside the throttle communication passage or the chamber communication passage is frozen at the time of cold start, the ice can be easily melted. Further, a part of the throttle communication passage and the chamber communication passage can be formed by a simple configuration in which the tubular member is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the chamber.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the throttle communication path includes a hose that connects a tubular member in close contact with the outer surface of the chamber and an upstream side of the throttle valve.
In the present invention configured as described above, the upstream side of the throttle valve and the part of the throttle communication passage that is in close contact with the outer surface of the chamber are connected by a hose, so that the upstream side of the throttle valve and the chamber are separated from each other. Even in this case, the upstream side of the throttle valve can be easily connected to a part of the throttle communication passage.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the intake device introduces the intake air supercharged by the supercharger into a plurality of cylinders of the engine including a supercharger that supercharges intake air including the recirculated exhaust gas. The chamber is provided downstream of the supercharger.
In the present invention configured as described above, the intake air compressed by the supercharger flows into the chamber after the exhaust gas containing a large amount of moisture is introduced. The moisture contained in the intake air is condensed in the chamber. In this case, the condensed water can be reliably sucked up from the chamber through the suction passage and introduced into each cylinder of the engine.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the intake device introduces the intake air cooled by the intercooler into a plurality of cylinders of an engine provided with an intercooler that cools the intake air. To accommodate.
In the present invention configured as described above, the chamber accommodates an intercooler that cools the intake air. Therefore, the intake air flowing into the chamber is cooled by the intercooler, and moisture contained in the intake air is condensed in the chamber. However, the condensed water can be reliably sucked up from the chamber through the suction passage and introduced into each cylinder of the engine.

  According to the present invention, with a simple configuration, moisture and oil accumulated in the lower portion of the chamber can be reliably sucked out and introduced into the cylinder of the engine.

First, when the intake air flows into the throttle intake passage 64 from the chamber 58 during the operation of the engine 1, the flow velocity of the intake air increases and the pressure decreases according to the decrease in the cross-sectional area of the flow path. In this embodiment, the suction passage 74 of the intake device 18 communicates the lower portion of the chamber 58 where the differential pressure is generated with the downstream portion of the throttle intake passage 64. Therefore, moisture and oil accumulated in the lower portion of the chamber 58 are reliably discharged from the chamber 58 via the suction passage 74 due to the differential pressure generated between the lower portion of the chamber 58 and the downstream portion of the throttle intake passage 64. Can suck up.
Further, since the throttle communication passage 76 communicates the upstream side of the throttle valve 62 where a differential pressure is generated during operation of the engine 1 and the downstream portion of the throttle intake passage 64, a part of the intake air flowing into the throttle valve 62 is communicated. Flows into the throttle communication passage 76 and passes through the throttle portion 106 of the throttle communication passage 76, whereby the pressure is reduced. As a result, a differential pressure is generated between the lower portion of the chamber 58 and the intermediate portion of the throttle communication passage 76, and the chamber communication passage 78 connects the lower portion of the chamber 58 where the differential pressure is generated and the intermediate portion of the throttle communication passage 76. Because of the communication, in addition to the differential pressure between the lower portion of the chamber 58 and the downstream portion of the throttle intake passage 64, the differential pressure generated between the intermediate portion of the throttle communication passage 76 and the lower portion of the chamber 58 Moisture and oil accumulated in the lower part of the chamber 58 can be reliably sucked up from the chamber 58 via the chamber communication passage 78 and the throttle communication passage 76.

  In this embodiment, part of the throttle communication passage 76 and the chamber communication passage 78 are in close contact with the outer surface of the chamber 58, so that heat can be efficiently absorbed from the intake air flowing into the chamber 58. As a result, even when the water inside the throttle communication passage 76 and the chamber communication passage 78 is frozen at the time of cold start, the ice can be easily melted. Further, a part of the throttle communication passage 76 and the chamber communication passage 78 can be formed with a simple configuration in which the tubular members 80 and 104 are brought into close contact with the outer surface of the chamber 58.

  In the present embodiment, the upstream side of the throttle valve 62 and a part of the throttle communication passage 76 that is in close contact with the outer surface of the chamber 58 are connected by the hose 86, so Even when the distance between them is far, the upstream side of the throttle valve 62 and a part of the throttle communication passage 76 can be easily connected.

  In the present embodiment, low-pressure EGR gas containing a large amount of moisture is first introduced from the low-pressure EGR pipe 52 into the intake air introduced into the intake passage 6 via the air cleaner 10. The intake air into which the low-pressure EGR gas has been introduced is compressed by the compressor 14 a of the supercharger 14 and then flows into the chamber 58. That is, the intake air containing a large amount of moisture flows into the chamber 58 and the moisture contained in the intake air condenses in the chamber 58. The condensed water is reliably discharged from the chamber 58 via the suction passage 74 of the present embodiment. It can be sucked up and introduced into each cylinder 2 of the engine 1.
