DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-3 , clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] As shown in the figure, an intake manifold for a large-displacement naturally aspirated engine includes a surge chamber 1, an intake pipe 2, several branch pipes 3, and a connecting plate 4. The intake pipe 2 is connected to the surge chamber 1. The branch pipe 3 is composed of an intake section 31, a first regulating section 32, a second regulating section 33, and an outlet section 34. The intake section 31 is fixedly connected to the surge chamber 1. The first regulating section 32 is composed of a first telescopic tube 321 and a second telescopic tube 322 connected together. The second regulating section 33 is composed of a third telescopic tube 331 and a fourth telescopic tube 332. The plug-in structure is that the port of the first telescopic tube 321 is rotatably connected to the port of the air inlet section 31, the port of the second telescopic tube 322 is rotatably connected to the port of the third telescopic tube 331, the port of the fourth telescopic tube 332 is rotatably connected to the port of the air outlet section 34, the air outlet section 34 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4, the first telescopic tube 321 is rotatably connected to the driving arm 5, the pressure regulating chamber 1 is provided with a driving motor 6, and the output shaft of the driving motor 6 is fixedly connected to a transmission swing arm 7 whose end is rotatably connected to the driving arm 5.
[0021] Specifically, the structure of the rotational connection between the first telescopic tube 321 and the air intake section 31 is as follows: a first connecting sleeve 323 is rotatably provided on the first telescopic tube 321, and a first connecting portion 3211 matching the inner diameter of the air intake section 31 is formed at the end of the first telescopic tube 321. The first connecting portion 3211 is inserted into the port of the air intake section 31 so that the port of the first telescopic tube 321 and the port of the air intake section 31 are abutted against each other. The first connecting sleeve 323 is screwed onto the air intake section 31 so that the port of the first telescopic tube 321 and the port of the air intake section 31 are kept abutted against each other. The first connecting sleeve 323 is used to limit the axial displacement relative to the first telescopic tube 321 and the air intake section 31, and the first connecting portion 3211 is used to limit the radial displacement relative to the first telescopic tube 321 and the air intake section 31, so that the second telescopic tube 322 can stably rotate circumferentially relative to the air intake section 31.
[0022] Specifically, the second telescopic tube 322 and the third telescopic tube 331 are rotatably connected in structure: a second connecting portion 3311 is formed on the end of the third telescopic tube 331 to match the inner diameter of the second telescopic tube 322. The second connecting portion 3311 is inserted into the second telescopic tube 322 so that the end of the third telescopic tube 331 abuts against the end of the second telescopic tube 322. The second connecting portion 3311 limits the relative radial movement of the second telescopic tube 322 and the third telescopic tube 331, allowing the second telescopic tube 322 and the third telescopic tube 331 to rotate stably relative to each other.
[0023] Specifically, the fourth telescopic tube 332 is rotatably connected to the air outlet section 34 as follows: a second connecting sleeve 333 is rotatably provided on the fourth telescopic tube 332, and a third connecting portion 3321 is formed at the end of the fourth telescopic tube 332 to match the inner diameter of the air outlet section 34. The third connecting portion 3321 is inserted into the port of the air outlet section 34 so that the port of the fourth telescopic tube 332 is abutted against the port of the air outlet section 34. The second connecting sleeve 333 is screwed onto the air outlet section 34 so that the port of the fourth telescopic tube 332 is kept abutted against the port of the air outlet section 34. The first connecting sleeve 323 is used to limit the axial displacement of the fourth telescopic tube 332 relative to the air outlet section 34, and the third connecting portion 3321 is used to limit the radial displacement of the fourth telescopic tube 332 relative to the air outlet section 34, so that the fourth telescopic tube 332 can stably rotate circumferentially relative to the air outlet section 34.
[0024] In the above structure, the first telescopic tube 321 can rotate relative to the air intake section 31, the second telescopic tube 322 can slide relative to the first telescopic tube 321 while the second telescopic tube 322 rotates, the third telescopic tube 331 can swing relative to the second telescopic tube 322, and the fourth telescopic tube 332 can rotate relative to the air outlet section 34 while the third telescopic tube 331 rotates. When using this intake manifold, the surge tank 1 is fixed to the vehicle frame by a bracket to fix the air intake section 31, and the connecting plate 4 is fixed to the engine to fix the air outlet section 34. Since the air intake section 31 and the air outlet section 34 are fixed, when the drive motor 6 drives the transmission swing arm 7 to swing and drives the drive arm 5 to move, the drive arm 5 drives the first telescopic tube 321 to swing in the air intake section 31, and the second telescopic tube 322 drives the third telescopic tube 332 to swing along with the first telescopic tube 321. The telescopic tube 331 swings, causing the fourth telescopic tube 332 to swing relative to the third telescopic tube 331, resulting in horizontal displacement of the rotation centers of the second telescopic tube 322 and the third telescopic tube 331, causing the second telescopic tube 322 and the third telescopic tube 331 to slide within the first telescopic tube 321 and the fourth telescopic tube 332, respectively, thereby changing the length of the first adjustment section 32 and the second adjustment section 33, and thus changing the length of the branch pipe 3, thereby adjusting the length of the branch pipe 3 and further adjusting the engine intake volume, so that the intake volume is matched with the engine speed to improve the engine power and fuel economy. In addition, when the length of the branch pipe 3 is adjusted, the intake manifold of the above structure does not change the positions of the intake and outlet ends of the branch pipe 3 (that is, the inlet section and outlet section 34) as in a conventional intake manifold, thereby facilitating the installation of such an intake manifold in the engine system.
[0025] In addition, in order to enhance the airtightness when the first telescopic tube 321 rotates relative to the air inlet section 31, the second telescopic tube 322 rotates relative to the third telescopic tube 331, and the fourth telescopic tube 332 rotates relative to the air outlet section 34, the outer wall of the first connecting portion 3211 and the inner wall of the air inlet section 31 are respectively provided with a first sealing ring groove 3212 and a second sealing ring groove 311 opposite to each other, a first sealing ring 35 is provided between the first sealing ring groove 3212 and the second sealing ring groove 311, the outer wall of the second connecting portion 3311 and the inner wall of the second telescopic tube 322 are provided with a third sealing ring groove 3312 and a fourth sealing ring groove 3221 opposite to each other, and the third sealing ring groove 3312 and the fourth sealing ring groove 322 are respectively provided with a first sealing ring 35 between the first sealing ring groove 3212 and the second sealing ring groove 311. 1, a second sealing ring 36 is provided between the third connecting portion 3321 and the inner wall of the outlet section 34, and a fifth sealing ring groove 3322 and a sixth sealing ring groove 341 are formed on the outer wall of the third connecting portion 3321 and the inner wall of the outlet section 34, respectively. A third sealing ring 37 is provided between the fifth sealing ring groove 3322 and the sixth sealing ring groove 341. The first sealing ring 35 enhances the airtightness of the first telescopic tube 321 during rotation relative to the intake section 31, the second sealing ring 36 enhances the airtightness of the second telescopic tube 322 and the third telescopic tube 331 during relative rotation, and the third sealing ring 37 enhances the airtightness of the fourth telescopic tube 332 during rotation relative to the outlet section 34, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the entire intake manifold.
[0026] In addition, in order to enhance the airtightness when the second telescopic tube 322 slides relative to the first telescopic tube 321 and the third telescopic tube 331 slides relative to the fourth telescopic tube 332, a seventh sealing ring groove 3222 and an eighth sealing ring groove 3323 are respectively formed on the outer walls of the second telescopic tube 322 and the fourth telescopic tube 332. The seventh sealing ring groove 3222 and the eighth sealing ring groove 3323 are respectively provided with a fourth sealing ring 38 and a fifth sealing ring 39 that abut against the inner walls of the first telescopic tube 321 and the third telescopic tube 331. The fourth sealing ring 38 enhances the airtightness when the second telescopic tube 322 slides relative to the first telescopic tube 321, and the fifth sealing ring 39 enhances the airtightness when the third telescopic tube 331 slides relative to the fourth telescopic tube 332, thereby enhancing the overall sealing of the intake manifold.
[0027] In addition, in order to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the intake manifold after a long period of time, the pressure regulating chamber 1 is composed of a first half chamber 11 and a second half chamber 12 which are assembled by a bolt pair. The air intake section 31 is connected to the first half chamber 11, and the air intake pipe 2 is connected to the second half chamber 12. The first half chamber 11 and the second half chamber 12 connected by the bolt pair can be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the pressure regulating chamber 1. The first telescopic tube 321 and the fourth telescopic tube 332 are connected to the air intake section 31 and the air outlet section 34 respectively through the first connecting sleeve 323 and the second connecting sleeve 333, which also enables the first telescopic tube 321 and the fourth telescopic tube 332 to be disassembled from the air intake section 31 and the air outlet section 34, and then the first telescopic tube 321, the second telescopic tube 322, the third telescopic tube 331 and the fourth telescopic tube 332 are disassembled, thereby facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the above-mentioned pipelines.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
