Air enters the cylinder banks 110A, 110B via the throttle body 130 and the intake structure 120. An air cleaner 140 is disposed above the intake structure 120.
[0038] Figure 4 shows a part of the structure of the engine of Figure 2 . Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the intake structure 120 includes a ring-shaped intake manifold 122, a plurality of intake pipes 124A, 124B of equal length, and a reinforcing rib 126. The ring-shaped intake manifold 122 includes a pair of resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B and includes a resonance pipe 1222 and a communication pipe 1223. The pair of resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B are arranged along the cylinder 116 (shown in Figure 1 ) are arranged in a column direction (axial direction Y), a resonance pipe 1222 is connected to one end of each of the resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B, and a communication pipe is connected to the other end of each of the resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B. A throttle body 130 is connected to a connection end 1222a of the resonance pipe 1222. A plurality of intake pipes 124A, 124B are alternately arranged between a pair of the resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B and connected to the pair of the resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B and the plurality of cylinders 116. A reinforcing rib 126 is arranged above the plurality of intake pipes 124A, 124B to reinforce the structure of the plurality of intake pipes 124A, 124B.
[0039] In detail, the plurality of intake pipes 124A are connected to the resonance chamber 1221A and connected to the plurality of cylinders 116 of the cylinder bank 110A shown by Figure 1 , respectively. The plurality of intake pipes 124B are connected to the resonance chamber 1221B and connected to the plurality of cylinders 116 of the cylinder bank 110B shown by Figure 1 , respectively. A part of the air flows from the throttle body 130, sequentially through the resonance pipe 1222, the resonance chamber 1221A, and the intake pipe 124A, and into the cylinder bank 110A, and another part of the air flows from the throttle body 130, sequentially through the resonance pipe 1222, the resonance chamber 1221B, and the intake pipe 124B, and into the cylinder bank 110B.
[0040] In the present embodiment, the annular intake manifold 122 has two protruding portions 1224A, 1224B. The protruding portion 1224A is integrally formed in the communication pipe 1223 and adjacent to the resonance chamber 1221A, and the protruding portion 1224A protrudes outward of the resonance chamber 1221A. Similarly, the protruding portion 1224B is integrally formed in the communication pipe 1223 and adjacent to the resonance chamber 1221B, and the protruding portion 1224B protrudes outward of the resonance chamber 1221B.
[0041] As described above, in the engine 100 of the present embodiment, the communication pipe 1223 of the annular intake manifold 122 is provided with the protruding portions 1224A, 1224B at a position farther from the throttle body 130 (i.e., a position adjacent to the resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B) to improve the intake efficiency of the cylinders 126 at this position, thereby reducing the intake efficiency difference among the plurality of cylinders 126. Thus, the engine 100 of the present embodiment can make the Air-fuel ratio distribution of the plurality of cylinders 126 uniform.
[0042] Further, in the present embodiment, the width W1 (indicated by Figure 4 ) of the resonance chamber 1221A increases along the direction toward the communication pipe 1223, so that the cross-sectional area of the resonance chamber 1221A increases along the direction toward the communication pipe 1223, and the protruding portion 1224A is located at the largest cross-sectional area of the resonance chamber 1221A. Similarly, the width W2 (indicated by ) of the resonance chamber 1221B increases along the direction toward the communication pipe 1223, so that the cross-sectional area of the resonance chamber 1221B increases along the direction toward the communication pipe 1223, and the protruding portion 1224B is located at the largest cross-sectional area of the resonance chamber 1221B.Figure 4 ) gradually increases along the direction toward the communication pipe 1223, so that the cross-sectional area of the resonance chamber 1221B gradually increases along the direction toward the communication pipe 1223, and the convex portion 1224B is located at the largest cross-sectional area of the resonance chamber 1221B. In this way, the intake efficiency of the cylinder 126 far from the throttle body 130 can be further improved, so as to further reduce the intake efficiency difference of the plurality of cylinders 126.
[0043] In addition, in the present embodiment, the outer surface of the resonance chamber 1221A includes a plane S1, and the convex portion 1224A protrudes outward from the plane S1. Similarly, the outer surface of the resonance chamber 1221B includes a plane S2, and the convex portion 1224B protrudes outward from the plane S2. By forming the outer surfaces of the resonance chambers 1221A, 1221B as the planes S1, S2 respectively, the generation of turbulent flow can be inhibited.
[0044] The position of the top surface T1 of the convex portion 1224A in the present embodiment corresponds to the opening end E of one intake pipe 124A, and the position of the top surface T2 of the convex portion 1224B corresponds to the position P between the two intake pipes 124B. In this way, the plurality of intake pipes 124A, 124B can be arranged in a compact manner, so as to reduce the volume of the intake structure 122.
[0045] In summary, in the engine of the present application, the communication pipe of the annular intake manifold is provided with a convex portion at a position far from the throttle body (i.e., a position adjacent to the resonance chamber), so as to improve the intake efficiency of the cylinder at this position, and further reduce the intake efficiency difference of the plurality of cylinders. Therefore, the engine of the present application can make the air-fuel ratio distribution of the plurality of cylinders uniform.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
