Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an intake duct structure for an engine that achieves both a noise reduction effect and an improvement in output. 2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an intake duct communicating between an intake manifold of an engine and an air cleaner is provided with an intake chamber (expansion chamber) for reducing intake noise and output loss. Many. In this case, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-10072
No. 0 discloses an intake chamber interposed in the middle of an intake duct, in which a first intake pipe communicating with a downstream side of the intake chamber can be freely moved toward and away from the first intake pipe. Also, by arranging the second intake pipe having a small passage area, the second intake pipe is connected to the first intake pipe in a low-to-medium-speed region to improve the charging efficiency by inertia supercharging. In the high-speed range, a technique is disclosed in which the second intake pipe is separated from the first intake pipe and the intake air is directly supplied to the first intake pipe, thereby reducing intake resistance and improving charging efficiency. I have. [0004] Incidentally, the volume and shape of the intake chamber are set so as to be in a frequency band that resonates with the intake pulsation in the middle to low speed range. It will deviate from the resonance frequency of the intake chamber. [0005] Therefore, as described in the above-mentioned publication, in the structure in which the intake air is once expanded in the intake chamber and then supplied to the first intake pipe, turbulence is likely to occur in a high-speed region, and the turbulence of the air is increased. As a result, not only the secondary noise is easily generated, but also the operation performance is reduced due to the decrease in the charging efficiency. Further, a driving device for moving the second intake pipe between the low speed range and the high speed range is required, and the device becomes complicated and large. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention realizes both a silencing effect and an improvement in output in a middle and low speed region and an improvement in output in a high speed region with a simple structure without increasing the size of the entire device. It is an object of the present invention to provide an intake duct structure of an engine which can be operated. [0008] [Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an intake duct structure of an engine provided with an intake chamber in the middle of the intake duct body communicating with the intake manifold, the intake chamber Of throttle body
A communication portion which is provided immediately upstream and has a bent portion formed in the intake duct main body inserted into the intake chamber, and which opens into the intake chamber at a portion excluding an outer portion of the bent portion facing the intake chamber. A plurality of holes are provided. In such a configuration, when the intake pulsation flows into the intake chamber along the intake duct in the middle and low speed region where the flow velocity is relatively gentle, the intake pulsation flows out of the communication hole opened in the intake duct into the intake chamber. In addition, the sound is expanded and silenced, and intake pulsation is reduced by resonance. On the other hand, since the flow velocity is relatively high in the high-speed region, when the intake air flow is guided into the intake chamber along the intake duct, the intake duct along the outside of the bent portion is bent because the intake duct in the intake chamber is bent. It moves in a rectified state, and high filling efficiency can be obtained. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a partial cross-sectional front view of the intake duct, and FIG. 2 shows a right side view of FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an intake chamber. The intake chamber 1 is composed of a chamber main body 2a having an opening on one side and a lid 2b for closing an opening of the chamber main body 2a. By closing the opening of 2a with the lid 2b, the expansion chamber 3 is formed inside. An intake duct body 4 is inserted through the chamber body 2a. The upstream side of the intake duct body 4 is communicated with an air cleaner (not shown), and the downstream side is communicated with a throttle body or an intake manifold (neither is shown). As shown in FIG. 1, the intake duct body 4 is inserted into the intake chamber body 2a from an obliquely downward direction on the left side in the drawing and protrudes from the bottom surface, and a portion passing through the expansion chamber 3 is bent. ing. Also, as shown in FIG.
Is formed into a tubular shape by joining the halved members,
At the joint of the bent portion 4a inserted into the expansion chamber 3,
A mounting tongue 4b is formed, and the mounting tongue 4b is formed.
Are jointly fastened and fixed to a support bracket 2c protruding from the chamber body 2a. A plurality of communication holes 4c are formed in the bent portion 4a of the intake duct body 4 provided in the expansion chamber 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the communication hole 4c is formed inward except for the outer portion 4d of the bent portion 4a. The pipe length and inner diameter of the intake duct body 4, the opening area of the communication hole 4c, and the number of holes (total opening area) are set according to the engine characteristics. According to such a configuration, the intake air flowing from the air cleaner (not shown) due to the operation of the engine is:
The air is guided to a throttle body (not shown) along the intake duct body 4 and supplied to each cylinder of the engine. When the engine is in the middle to low speed range, the flow rate of the intake air flowing through the intake duct main body 4 is relatively slow. Therefore, as shown by arrows in FIG. When passing through the bent portion 4a provided in the expansion chamber 3 formed in the
Flows out to the expansion chamber 3 from the communication hole 4c formed in the hole. At this time, the intake noise is silenced by the expansion action of the intake air, and the intake pulsation is reduced by the resonance action of the expansion chamber 3. As a result, the intake loss in the middle to low speed range is reduced, and the engine output can be improved. In this case, since the noise reduction characteristics of the intake noise vary depending on the pipe length and inner diameter of the intake duct main body 4, the opening area of the communication hole 4c and the number of drilled holes, an optimum value is set according to the characteristics of the engine used. . On the other hand, when the engine is in the high-speed range, the flow rate of the intake air flowing through the intake duct body 4 is relatively high, and therefore, as shown in FIG. Flows in the direction of the bending portion 4a at high speed,
The flow is guided by the inner wall surface of the outer portion 4d of the bent portion 4a. Since the communication hole 4c is not formed in the outer portion 4d, the intake air comes in contact with the communication hole 4c and is not disturbed, and the throttle body (shown in the figure) flows from the discharge end of the intake duct body 4 in a rectified state. Flows to the side. Therefore, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, in the middle to low speed range, the expansion chamber shown by the broken line is provided in comparison with the characteristic of the intake duct not provided with the intake chamber shown by the dashed line in FIG. It shows characteristics close to those of the intake duct. or,
In the high-speed range, the characteristic is closer to the characteristic of the intake duct without the intake chamber indicated by the dashed line, as compared with the characteristic of the intake duct including the intake chamber indicated by the broken line. As described above, in the present embodiment, the intake chamber 1 is not operated in the high speed range, and the intake air is supplied to the throttle body side in a rectified state along the intake duct body 4, so that the intake loss is reduced. And the engine output relatively increases. As a result, in both the middle and low speed range and the high speed range,
High filling efficiency can be obtained, and the engine output can be improved in each region. The intake duct body 4 passing through the expansion chamber 3
Is bent, and an outer portion 4d of the bent portion 4a
Since the communication device has a simple structure in which a communication hole 4c opening to the expansion chamber 3 is formed in a portion excluding the above, the entire device does not increase in size and can be manufactured at low cost. The tongue piece 4b formed on the intake duct main body 4 is inserted into the intake duct body 4 with the support bracket 2c protruding from the expansion chamber 3 inserted through the intake duct main body 4 without any interruption. Due to the fixation, the intake chamber 1 is reinforced by the intake duct body 4, and the rigidity of the intake chamber 1 is improved. As a result, radiation noise from the intake chamber 1 is reduced, and a higher noise reduction effect can be obtained. As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to realize both a silencing effect and an improvement in output in a middle and low speed range and an improvement in output in a high speed range with a simple structure without increasing the size of the entire device.
