[0024] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams.

In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The present invention provides an engine without an intake manifold, which achieves structural simplification and cost reduction by integrating the intake manifold with the cylinder head and reducing additional components such as an independent intake manifold, a sealing gasket, and mounting bolts. The integrated design makes the engine layout more compact, helps to optimize the interior space of the vehicle and reduce the overall weight of the engine. By reducing the number of components, the assembly process is simplified and the production cost is reduced. The inlet of the integrated intake manifold is located between the second cylinder and the third cylinder, ensuring uniform gas distribution in each cylinder.

[0027] Regarding the above-mentioned problem to be solved: conventional engines usually use an independent intake manifold, which not only increases the overall size of the engine, but also requires additional seals and fasteners. These additional components increase the assembly steps and time, and increase the production cost.

[0028] The solution is as follows: an engine without an intake manifold in this embodiment includes an engine cylinder head 1 , an integrated intake manifold 5 and an integrated exhaust manifold 13 .

[0029] All engine cylinder head components are connected inside the engine cylinder head 1. An intake manifold inlet 3 is arranged on the right side of the engine cylinder head 1. The intake manifold inlet 3 is located between the second cylinder and the third cylinder of the engine cylinder head 1. An integrated intake manifold 5 is arranged inside the intake manifold inlet 3. The integrated intake manifold 5 is designed to be integrated with the engine cylinder head 1. The tail end of the integrated intake manifold 5 has multiple intake passages 17 for connecting the integrated intake manifold 5 with the cylinders to ensure uniform distribution of intake air in each cylinder. The engine cylinder head 1 provides a solid foundation for installing all relevant engine components. A throttle mounting flange 2 is arranged on the right side wall of the intake manifold inlet 3. The throttle mounting flange 2 is used to provide a direct mounting position for the throttle body. A plurality of throttle mounting threaded holes 4 are opened on the side wall of the throttle mounting flange 2. The throttle mounting threaded holes 4 are used to be mounted and fixed to the throttle body. The throttle mounting flange 2 is a throttle mounting flange. The door body provides a direct installation position, and the throttle mounting threaded hole 4 is pre-drilled to facilitate the fixing of the throttle body. Since the range extender engine usually works in a very narrow speed range, only a shorter intake manifold is required. The integrated intake manifold 5 is integrated with the engine cylinder head 1 to reduce the need for additional components, including an independent intake manifold, a gasket, mounting bolts, an intake manifold bracket and its related bolts. The integrated design makes the engine layout more compact, which helps to optimize the vehicle's internal space and reduce the overall weight of the engine. By reducing the number of components, the assembly process is simplified and the production cost is reduced. The inner wall of the throttle mounting flange 2 is installed with an undercut structure 18. When the gas passes through the undercut structure 18, the forward flow resistance of the gas is almost unchanged, and the reverse flow resistance increases, reducing the gas backflow generated by the alternating process of valve opening and closing, thereby reducing the reverse pressure wave of the intake. Improve the intake efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

[0030] An intake camshaft bearing 6 is arranged near the right side of the top of the engine cylinder head 1, and an exhaust camshaft bearing 7 is arranged near the left side of the top of the engine cylinder head 1. The top of the engine cylinder head 1 has a cylinder head top surface 8, and the cylinder head top surface 8 is a flat surface for installation and connection with the cylinder head cover. The intake camshaft bearing 6 and the exhaust camshaft bearing 7 are used to support the rotation of the camshaft to ensure the normal opening and closing of the valve.

[0031] A plurality of ignition coil mounting holes 9 are evenly arranged at the center position of the top of the engine cylinder head 1, a plurality of direct-drive tappet holes 10 are arranged at the top of the engine cylinder head 1, and the plurality of direct-drive tappet holes 10 are distributed on both sides of the ignition coil mounting hole 9, a plurality of spark plug mounting holes 11 are arranged at the bottom of the engine cylinder head, and an injector mounting hole 12 is installed at a position corresponding to the intake manifold inlet 3 at the bottom of the engine cylinder head. The ignition coil mounting hole 9, the direct-drive tappet hole 10, the spark plug mounting hole 11, and the injector mounting hole 12 provide installation positions for the ignition system and the fuel supply system.

[0032] An integrated exhaust manifold 13 is installed on the left side of the engine cylinder head 1. The integrated exhaust manifold 13 is designed as an integral unit with the engine cylinder head 1. A supercharger mounting surface 14 is provided on the left side of the integrated exhaust manifold 13. An integrated exhaust manifold lower air outlet 15 and an integrated exhaust manifold upper air outlet 16 are respectively provided on the side walls of the integrated exhaust manifold 13. The integrated exhaust manifold 13 is similar to the integrated intake manifold 5 and is also integrated with the engine cylinder head 1, thereby improving the overall compactness and efficiency. The supercharger mounting surface 14 provides an installation interface for a turbocharger or other supercharging device. The integrated exhaust manifold lower air outlet 15 and the integrated exhaust manifold upper air outlet 16 are used to guide the direction of exhaust gas discharge.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may be used in combination with each other in any manner, and the fact that these combinations are not exhaustively described in this specification is only for the sake of omitting space and saving resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
