Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive intake manifold technology, and more specifically, to an injection-molded automotive intake manifold with a variable damping flow channel. Background Technology

[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0013] This embodiment discloses a variable damping flow channel automotive intake manifold injection molding part, which aims to solve the problems of traditional cast iron or aluminum alloy cast intake manifolds having rough surfaces, high air intake resistance, and large product weight, which in turn affect engine intake efficiency, increase fuel consumption, and are not conducive to reducing emissions.
[0014] Specifically, the variable damping flow channel automotive intake manifold injection molded part is based on support plate 1 for installation and support. The various functional components are integrated and assembled around support plate 1, including the following core components: As the core functional module of the intake manifold, the air diversion and delivery assembly is responsible for collecting, filtering, diverting and delivering the intake air. It includes an air collecting cylinder 2 fixed on one side of the support plate 1. The air collecting cylinder 2 has a cylindrical hollow structure and a filter element 3 is embedded in the center. The filter element 3 is made of high temperature resistant and high air permeability composite fiber material, which can effectively filter dust and impurities in the intake air and prevent particulate matter from entering the engine and affecting its service life. Two first discharge pipes 4 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the air-gathering cylinder 2. A second discharge pipe 5 is arranged parallel to one side of each of the two first discharge pipes 4. One end of the first discharge pipe 4 and the second discharge pipe 5 are connected to the side wall of the air-gathering cylinder 2 to form the main channel for air intake and diversion. To achieve damping adjustment and multi-path diversion, a first diversion pipe 6 is connected to the middle of the two first discharge pipes 4, and a second diversion pipe 7 is vertically connected to the middle of the two second discharge pipes 5. At the same time, a third diversion pipe 8 is connected to one side of each first diversion pipe 6, and one end of the third diversion pipe 8 is connected to the side wall of the corresponding first discharge pipe 4 away from the gas collector 2, forming a multi-channel structure of "main channel and branch channel". In addition, docking valves 9 are installed at the ends of the first discharge pipe 4 and the second discharge pipe 5 away from the gas collector 2. The docking valves 9 are electromagnetically controlled valves, and the valve opening can be controlled by the vehicle ECU electronic control unit to adjust the air intake flow of each channel and achieve variable damping. An air inlet 10 is provided on one side of the bottom of the air collector 2. The air inlet 10 is connected to the air outlet of the car air filter through a pipe to provide an air source for the entire intake manifold. A drain pipe 12 is provided on the other side of the bottom of the air-collecting cylinder 2. A one-way valve is installed on the drain pipe 12 to drain the liquid such as water generated by condensation in the air-collecting cylinder 2, so as to prevent the liquid from entering the engine. The filter element 3 is provided with a pressure relief port 11 at the end away from the bottom of the air-gathering cylinder 2. The pressure relief port 11 is connected to the end of the filter element 3 by a thread. A pressure safety valve is installed inside the pressure relief port 11. When the air pressure in the air-gathering cylinder 2 exceeds the preset value, the safety valve will automatically open to relieve pressure and protect the air intake system components from high pressure damage. At the same time, manual adjustment valves are embedded inside the connection between the first discharge pipe 4 and the second discharge pipe 5 and the air-gathering cylinder 2, which can be manually controlled to open or close the main channel during maintenance or debugging.
[0015] The support plate 1, air-gathering cylinder 2, first exhaust pipe 4, second exhaust pipe 5, first split pipe 6, second split pipe 7, and third split pipe 8 of this intake manifold injection molding part are all integrally processed using PA66 and glass fiber reinforced materials through injection molding. This material has the characteristics of high strength, high temperature resistance, low specific gravity, and smooth surface, which can effectively reduce intake resistance and reduce product weight. The specific working principle is as follows: When the car engine is running, the air is filtered by the air filter and enters the air-gathering cylinder 2 through the air intake 10. The filter element 3 in the air-gathering cylinder 2 performs secondary filtration on the intake air to remove the tiny impurities remaining in the air. At the same time, the air-gathering cylinder 2 gathers the dispersed intake air to form a stable airflow.
[0016] After the filtered intake air forms a stable pressure in the air-gathering cylinder 2, it enters the two main channels, the first exhaust pipe 4 and the second exhaust pipe 5 respectively. When the engine is in a low-speed, low-load condition, such as idling or low-speed driving, the vehicle ECU controls the docking valve 9 to reduce the opening and closes the control valves corresponding to the first split pipe 6, the second split pipe 7, and the third split pipe 8. The ECU controls the solenoid valves on the first split pipe 6, the second split pipe 7, and the third split pipe 8. At this time, the intake air is mainly delivered through the main channels of the first exhaust pipe 4 and the second exhaust pipe 5. The flow channel cross-section is small and the damping is large, which can increase the intake airflow speed, enhance the atomization effect of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, and improve the low-speed torque of the engine. When the engine is under high speed and high load conditions, such as high speed driving and rapid acceleration, the ECU controls the docking valve 9 to increase the opening, and at the same time opens the control valves of the first split pipe 6, the second split pipe 7, and the third split pipe 8. At this time, the intake air can be delivered through multiple paths through the main channel and each branch channel. The total cross-section of the flow channel increases, the damping decreases, and the intake air flow increases, which meets the engine's demand for a large amount of intake air under high speed and high load, and improves the engine's maximum power. In addition, when the air pressure inside the air collector 2 rises to the preset pressure of the pressure relief port 11 due to abnormal conditions, such as air filter blockage or valve failure, the safety valve of the pressure relief port 11 will automatically open to discharge the excess air pressure and prevent damage to components such as the air collector 2 and the discharge pipe due to high pressure. The condensate generated inside the air collector 2 will be automatically discharged through the one-way valve of the drain pipe 12 to prevent the liquid from entering the engine cylinder with the intake air and avoid liquid slugging.
[0017] In use, the entire intake manifold injection molded part is fixed to the side of the cylinder block of the car engine through the preset mounting holes on the support plate 1; then the intake port 10 is connected to the air filter outlet pipe, and the docking valves 9 at the ends of the first exhaust pipe 4 and the second exhaust pipe 5 are connected to the intake manifold interface of the engine. The intake ports of each cylinder are connected through flanges to complete the assembly; after assembly, the car ECU initializes and debugs each solenoid valve, docking valve 9, and valves on the split pipe, sets the valve opening degree and flow channel switching logic under different working conditions, and ensures the stable operation of the intake manifold.
[0018] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
