Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing engine room structures face challenges in maintaining high intake charge density while effectively sound and heat insulation, especially in densely arranged vehicle designs, as traditional sound insulation covers can accumulate heat and reduce air intake efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An engine room structure featuring a partitioning wall that separates the engine storage space from the intake passage piping space, with an intake pipe integrally formed along the partitioning wall, which extends to form the intake passage in the piping space, reducing heat and sound transfer and allowing for efficient air supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a sound insulation cover is attached to the engine to block sound transmission, then sound insulation is improved, but heat accumulates in the intake passage area causing intake charge density to decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The engine room is divided into distinct spaces using a partitioning wall that separates the engine storage space from the piping space. This segmentation prevents heat accumulation in the intake passage area while maintaining sound insulation, thereby preserving intake charge density.
Solution Approach 2:
The sound insulation function is extracted from a cover attached directly to the engine and repositioned to a partitioning wall structure. This extraction allows sound insulation to be maintained while eliminating the harmful heat accumulation effect on the intake passage.
2Volume of stationary object
If devices are densely arranged in the engine room, then space utilization is improved, but it becomes difficult to form an intake passage without excessive clearance
Solution Approach 1:
The partitioning wall is configured to extend in multiple directions, creating a three-dimensional piping space that efficiently utilizes available engine room volume. This dimensional approach allows adequate clearance for intake passage formation even with dense device arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The partitioning wall serves multiple functions: it provides sound insulation, creates defined piping space, and establishes proper clearance for intake passage formation. This multi-functionality enables effective intake passage design in densely arranged engine rooms.
3Quantity of substance
If the intake passage is formed in a wide space adjacent to the engine, then intake charge density is maintained, but the design cannot be applied to vehicles with dense device arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
The partitioning wall creates a localized piping space with appropriate dimensions and clearance specifically around the intake passage area. This local quality optimization maintains intake charge density while adapting to various vehicle layouts with different space constraints.
