Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive engine intake system, specifically a large-displacement engine intake manifold assembly. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial component of the intake system, the intake manifold's structure, shape, and port dimensions significantly impact engine performance, including charging efficiency, intake resistance, and intake uniformity across cylinders. This, in turn, affects engine power, fuel economy, emissions, and NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance. The intake manifold provides an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) interface, reducing NOx emissions, diluting combustion, and lowering fuel consumption through exhaust gas recirculation. However, space constraints, coupled with the need to maintain optimal intake performance, significantly increase the design complexity. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an intake manifold assembly for a large displacement engine.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a large displacement engine intake manifold assembly, including an intake port, a pressure regulating chamber, an outlet flange, a PCV channel inlet, an EGR mounting boss, and four intake passages;
[0005] The four air intakes are arranged in a volute shape around the outside of the pressure stabilizing chamber. The air inlet is connected and fixed to the pressure stabilizing chamber. The air inlet is arranged between the third and fourth air intakes. The air intake ends of the four air intakes are all connected and fixed to the pressure stabilizing chamber. The air outlet ends of the four air intakes are all connected and fixed to the outlet flange. The PCV channel inlet is integrated at the outlet flange, and the PCV channel inlet is connected to the internal airflow channel of the outlet flange. The EGR mounting boss is set on the side wall of the pressure stabilizing chamber, and the internal channel of the EGR mounting boss is connected to the inner cavity of the pressure stabilizing chamber.
[0006] The surfaces of the four air intakes and the pressure stabilizing chamber are thickened in local areas to form locally thickened sections. The outer surfaces of the four air intakes and the pressure stabilizing chamber are provided with reinforcing ribs, which are arranged along the length of the air intakes and the circumference of the pressure stabilizing chambers.
[0007] The end of the EGR mounting boss is provided with a sealing mating surface, and the outlet end of the EGR valve connection pipeline is sealed and connected to the internal channel of the EGR mounting boss through this sealing mating surface.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] 1. Meets emission requirements: By setting an EGR mounting boss on the side of the pressure stabilizing chamber, the exhaust gas can be fully dispersed under the impact of the intake airflow after entering the pressure stabilizing chamber through the EGR valve connecting pipeline. It is then evenly distributed to each cylinder to participate in combustion, effectively reducing NOx emissions and meeting the requirements of the China VI emission regulations.
[0010] 2. Improved NVH performance: The wall thickness of local areas of the four air intakes and pressure regulating chambers is increased. At the same time, reinforcing ribs are set on the outer surface of the four air intakes and pressure regulating chambers along the length of the air intakes and the circumference of the pressure regulating chambers, which improves the surface stiffness of the manifold and reduces surface vibration and radiated noise. In addition, the volute design of the air intakes reduces airflow turbulence and further optimizes NVH performance.
[0011] 3. Improved intake and combustion performance: The intake manifold is volute-shaped and surrounds the pressure stabilizing chamber, which not only ensures a smooth intake path, reduces intake resistance, and improves charging efficiency, but also adapts to the available space; the air can be fully mixed with natural gas at the end of the manifold before entering the cylinder, improving combustion efficiency and thus enhancing engine power and economy.
[0012] 4. Compact structure and good integration: The PCV channel is integrated at the outlet flange, which simplifies the pipeline layout and reduces space occupation; the layout of each structure is reasonable, which meets the functional requirements while taking into account the installation space constraints, thus improving the overall practicality.
[0013] In summary, this utility model, through structural optimization, effectively improves NVH performance and enhances intake and combustion performance while meeting the China VI emission requirements. Furthermore, it features a compact structure, good integration, and significant practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] This embodiment describes an intake manifold assembly for a large displacement engine, including an intake port 1, a pressure regulating chamber 2, an outlet flange 4, a PCV channel inlet 5, an EGR mounting boss 6, and four intake passages 3.
[0021] The four air intakes 3 are arranged in a volute shape around the outside of the pressure stabilizing chamber 2. The air inlet 1 is connected and fixed to the pressure stabilizing chamber 2. The air inlet 1 is arranged between the third air intake 303 and the fourth air intake 304. The air intake ends of the four air intakes 3 are all connected and fixed to the pressure stabilizing chamber 2. The air outlet ends of the four air intakes 3 are all connected and fixed to the outlet flange 4. The PCV channel inlet 5 is integrated into the outlet flange 4, and the PCV channel inlet 5 is connected to the internal airflow channel of the outlet flange 4. The EGR mounting boss 6 is set on the side wall of the pressure stabilizing chamber 2, and the internal channel of the EGR mounting boss 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the pressure stabilizing chamber 2.
[0022] The surfaces of the four air intakes 3 and the pressure stabilizing chamber 2 are thickened in local areas to form locally thickened sections. The outer surfaces of the four air intakes 3 and the pressure stabilizing chamber 2 are provided with reinforcing ribs, which are arranged along the length of the air intakes 3 and the circumference of the pressure stabilizing chamber 2.
[0023] The end of the EGR mounting boss 6 is provided with a sealing mating surface, and the outlet end of the EGR valve connection pipeline is sealed and connected to the internal channel of the EGR mounting boss 6 through this sealing mating surface.
[0024] In actual operation, the intake manifold assembly of this utility model for a large-displacement engine works in concert with its components to achieve a comprehensive effect of intake, exhaust gas recirculation, and performance optimization. Outside air first enters the pressure-stabilizing chamber 2 through the intake port 1. The pressure-stabilizing chamber 2 stabilizes the airflow through volumetric buffering, reducing pulsation and preparing for uniform air intake to each cylinder. Subsequently, the stabilized air flows into four volute-shaped intake ducts 3 surrounding the outside of the pressure-stabilizing chamber 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 1As shown, the four intake ducts 3, from left to right, are the first intake duct, the second intake duct, the third intake duct 303, and the fourth intake duct 304. The volute-shaped design guides the airflow along a smooth path, reducing intake resistance. It also adapts to the available space, ensuring reasonable intake parameters to improve charging efficiency. After the air is fully mixed with the fuel at the ends of the four intake ducts 3, it enters the cylinder for combustion through the outlet flange 4 (used to connect the intake duct outlet to the cylinder intake port). Regarding EGR exhaust gas recirculation, the EGR valve connection pipe is sealed via the sealing mating surface at the end of the EGR mounting boss 6 to prevent exhaust gas leakage. Part of the exhaust gas enters the internal channel of the EGR mounting boss 6 through the EGR valve and connecting pipeline, and then flows into the pressure stabilizing chamber 2. Under the impact of the intake airflow, it is evenly mixed with fresh air, and then distributed to each cylinder through the four intake ducts 3, realizing exhaust gas recirculation to reduce NOx emissions and meet the China VI emission standards. The PCV channel inlet 5 integrated at the outlet flange 4 is connected to the internal airflow channel of the flange. The oil-air mixture in the crankcase can enter the intake system through this inlet and enter the cylinder for combustion with the intake air, realizing oil-air recovery. In addition, the local thickening sections on the surfaces of the four intake ducts 3 and the pressure stabilizing chamber 2 improve the structural rigidity, and the reinforcing ribs on the outer surface (such as...) Figure 4 (As shown) Further enhances stability, reduces vibration and surface radiation noise, and the volute-shaped air passage and pressure stabilizing cavity design also reduce airflow noise, comprehensively improving NVH performance.
