Abstract:
An engine intake manifold assembly (10) including a first portion (12) configured with a first material and a second portion (14) configured with a second material, wherein the first and second portions (12, 14) are adhesively bonded together. Preferably, the intake manifold assembly (10) is additionally configured with a cylinder head flange (24), for mounting the same to an automotive engine component, and a throttle body attachment (22) for attachment of a throttle body component. The cylinder head flange (24) and throttle body attachment (22) may be an integral component of the first or second portions (12, 14) or attached to the same during or after assembly of the first and second portions (12, 14). Optionally, an insert (18) is located between the assembled first and second portion (12, 14) to create one or more plenums thereby creating one or more air flow paths (20) through the intake manifold assembly (10).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fluidführung (1) mit zumindest zwei Baugliedern (2,3,8) aus akustisch im wesentlichen dichtem Material und zumindest einer Öffnung (11,11') zur Schalldämpfung, wobei zwischen zwei benachbarten Baugliedern eine Impedanzänderung, insbesondere in Form eines Impedanzsprunges, des Strömungswiderstandes des durch die Fluidführung strömenden Fluids vorliegt, wobei die zumindest eine Öffnung im Bereich der Impedanzänderung zwischen zwei benachbarten Baugliedern angeordnet ist.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a suction pipe (10) which has shells (11a, b). The invention provides that the geometry of the joining surfaces (19) adopts an approximately stepped course in areas with a slight incline, in relation to the joining force (F). This produces areas with a greater or lesser incline in relation to a joining line (16) indicating the average gradient of the joining surfaces. This results in areas which can be welded with a high degree of stability because of their considerable incline towards the joining force. These areas can then support those areas which are less inclined towards the joining force. This allows the shells (11a, b) to have strongly curved joining surfaces, which increases the geometrical structural freedom for the suction pipe. In particular, it is possible to produce suction pipes with strongly curved suction channels, constructed from just two shells.
Abstract:
An intake manifold is molded of two plastic parts. A first main manifold body provides the outer cover and an inner opening. A second runner provides a plurality of entry ports for communicating air to cylinders within the engine. In the past, it has been somewhat difficult to control the shape of the entry ports when the manifold was molded of a single part. The use of the separate runner allows the provision of a relatively thin and easily molded part such that the entry ports can be closely controlled and an idealized design can be achieved.
Abstract:
A field replaceable unitary manifold housing for providing combustion air and combustion fuel to an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The housing (16) includes an air purification cavity (22) having a spaced apart air intake (14) and air discharge. The housing also includes a filter (30) for purifying air disposed in the air purification cavity intermediate the air intake and the air discharge. The housing also includes a hollow elongate member (70) having a first end (74) coupled to the filter and a second end coupled to a plenum chamber (22) for directing the air, the plenum chamber being integral with the air purification cavity. The housing also includes a plurality of channels (122), each channel integral with the housing and having a first end integral with the plenum chamber and a second end coupled to a cylinder head of the engine. The air intake induces air into the air purification cavity, the induced air is purified by the filter, the hollow elongate member directs the air from the filter to the plenum chamber, and the plurality of channels direct the air from the plenum chamber to the cylinder head.
Abstract:
An intake manifold, particularly for mounting in a V-shaped internal combustion engine, provided with intake ducts (17) geometrically arranged above one another. The intake ducts of both cylinder rows (25) of said V-shaped internal combustion engine extend rearwards, in the direction of travel, and converge into two manifold chambers (16), which therefore may be arranged in a region where the engine bonnet/hood (23) leaves enough room. Said intake manifold consists of an upper shell (28), a central portion (27) and a lower shell (29). Said central part has a common wall section (32) in which said intake ducts (17) are in mutual contact. This arrangement provides a compact lightweight component which, in comparison with multipart intake manifolds, may be mounted easily. Using a common wall (32) and selecting a plastic as the material enable further weight savings.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a tubular body of synthetic resin, of which an inlet tubular portion and an outlet tubular portion are differently oriented, comprises forming respective halves of the tubular body in a pair of molds, causing the halves to abut against each other in the molds and filling a molten resin into an inner passage formed along peripheries of the abutting portions to join the halves to each other. The method comprises using a rotary type injection molding mold having a core portion combined with a tubular end of either of the inlet tubular portion and the outlet tubular portion to be slidable in a different direction from an opening and closing direction of the molds, carrying out respective processes of core insertion, mold clamping, injection, mold opening, core removal, ejection and mold rotation, carrying out a primary forming for forming the respective halves, and a secondary forming for joining a pair of the halves to each other, for one rotating action of the molds to obtain a finished product for each rotating action.
Abstract:
Between two half-shells (2, 3) molded and fixed to each other in order to form an envelope (1), there are mounted air tubes (12a) with a ringed external face (14) and a smooth internal face (13) which are fixed by means of end sleeves (17a, 18a) to the envelope (1). The outlet sleeve (18a) is held within a half-shell (3) by means of a fixing clamp (6) to the cylinder-head of the engine by being sealingly connected to an opening (7) of the clamp (6) for the supply of one cylinder by a tubular nozzle comprised of a cradle (29a) integrally cast with the clamp (6) and the half-shell (3), and a cover (31a) fixed to the cradle in order to hold a seal (28) to the extremity of the outlet sleeve (18a), the seal being compressed between the sleeve (18a) and the nozzle (29a, 31a). Application particularly to intake manifolds of internal combustion engines, preferably with controlled ignition.

Between the two half-molds (2, 3) fixed against each other in order to form an envelope (1), one-piece blow-molded air tubes (12a, 12b) are mounted; the outlet (14a, 14b) of the tubes is held in a half-mold (3) by means of a fixing clamp (6) to the cylinder-head of the engine while being sealingly connected to an opening (7) of the clamp (6) for supplying one cylinder by means of a tubular nozzle formed of a cradle (20a, 20b) molded with the clamp (6) and the half-mold (3), and a staple (22a, 22b) fixed to the cradle to hold a ring (17) on the outlet of the tube while compressing a seal (18) between the tubes (12a, 12b) and the nozzle. Application particularly to intake manifolds of engines with multipoint injection and controlled ignition.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hollow body, especially an intake system in an internal combustion engine, consisting of two components delimiting the hollow in the hollow body joined together, especially plastic half-shells (10, 11). Said half-shells (10, 11) have joining flanges with facing sealing surfaces (12), in which there is an injection moulded component joining the sealing surfaces together. In the region of the sealing surfaces there are several hollows (21, 23) or apertures in the half-shells (10, 11) arranged transversely to the sealing plane and mutually aligned. These hollows are filled with a bonding component (55), especially thermoplastic material.
