- the vertical wall 15a also functions as a guide plate for directing the main flow M of the air flowing in the air cleaner 10 to the air funnel 8.
- the right and left ends of the vertical wall 15a and the horizontal wall 15b are connected by a substantially triangular end wall 15c (see FIG. 6).
- a substantially triangular prism-shaped separate room 68 is defined between the support bracket 15 and the rear wall llg.
- a flange 15f is formed on the periphery of the vertical wall 15a, the horizontal wall 15b, and the end wall 15c, and the flange 15f is detachably fixed to the rear wall lg by bolting. Note that a seal member 15e is interposed between the flange portion 15f and the rear wall lg.
- a tubular boss 15d bulging downward is formed on the lateral wall 15b.
- Each fuel injector 14 is fixed while being inserted into the boss 15d, and the injection nozzle 14c projects downward from the boss 15d.
- a fuel introduction part 14b is provided, and the fuel introduction part 14b is inserted and connected into a pipe 16a branched from one common fuel supply pipe 16.
- both ends of the fuel supply pipe 16 penetrate through the rear wall l lg of the upper case l ib and protrude rearward (in the direction opposite to the paper surface of FIG. 6).
- the joints 16b and 16c connected to the fuel pipes on the fuel supply side and the fuel return side are provided on the one side protruding part.
- each fuel injector 14 is connected to a power supply harness 14e.
- the four sets of power supply harnesses 14e are led out through the through holes l lj (see FIG. 7) of the rear wall llg in a bundled state.
- a connection connector (not shown) is provided at the leading end.
- the four fuel injectors 14 are attached to the support bracket 15 together with the fuel supply pipe 16 and the power supply harness 14e, and are integrally formed as an injector unit.
- the injector unit is disposed inside the air cleaner 10, particularly in a separate room 68 defined by the support bracket 15 and the upper case lib.
- each of the fuel injectors 14 is disposed outside the center line M of the main flow of the arc-shaped air (the side opposite to the center of the arc).
- the injection axis 14a of each fuel injector 14 intersects the center line A of the intake passage 90 and thus the center line M of the main flow at the valve shaft 9a of the throttle valve 9. .
- the injection axis 14a faces the rear surface (the right surface in FIG. 6) of the valve plate 9b (shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5) at the fully open position.
- the fuel supply device is assembled as follows. That is, first, each fuel injector 14 is attached to the support bracket 15. Then, a branch pipe 16a of the fuel supply pipe 16 and a power supply hose 14e are connected to each fuel injector 14. Next, the support bracket 15 is attached to the inner surface of the rear wall llg of the upper case lib. Thus, the fuel injector 14 is attached to the upper case lib from inside. Then, the upper case lib to which the support bracket 15 is attached is attached to the lower case 11a.
- the separate chamber 68 is formed by the support bracket 15 inside the air cleaner 10, and the fuel injector 14 is housed in the separate chamber 68. Therefore, similarly to the first embodiment, it is possible to reduce air resistance and improve waterproofness.
- the support bracket 15 (the fuel injector 14) is arranged outside the center line M of the mainstream of the air having an arc shape. Therefore, similarly to the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the support bracket 15 (the fuel injector 14) from becoming a resistance to the flow of air from the viewpoint of the arrangement position.
- the fuel injector 14, the fuel supply pipe 16, and the power supply harness 14e are attached to the support bracket 15 to be integrated as an injector unit. Then, this injector unit was disposed in the air cleaner 10 (particularly in the separate room 68), and was fixed to the air cleaner case 11 by bolts so as to be detachable. Therefore, despite the provision of the plurality of fuel injectors 14, the work of mounting the fuel injectors 14, the fuel supply pipe 16, and the like can be facilitated. In addition, the entire injector unit is located in the air cleaner case 11, and particularly, the fuel injector 14 does not protrude outward. Therefore, it is possible to avoid such a problem that the fuel injector 14 is damaged by interference with other in-vehicle components.
- both ends of the fuel supply pipe 16 are projected outside the air cleaner case 11, and joints 16b and 16c are provided at the projected portions.
- a connector connected to the edge of the power supply harness 14e is arranged outside the air cleaner case 11. Therefore, the connection and disconnection of the fuel circuit and the electric circuit can be easily performed despite the arrangement of the injector unit in the air cleaner 10.
- a separate chamber 68 is defined by the support bracket 15 in the intake chamber in the air cleaner 10.
- the fuel injector 14 is housed in a separate room 68.
- the injection nozzle 14c that is connected only by the injector body is also housed in the separate chamber 68. That is, although the nozzle opening end is open to the intake chamber, the injection nozzle 14c is substantially housed in the separate chamber 68.
- the air cleaner case 11 serves as a lower case 11a and an upper case 11b, and the flanges ⁇ i le, 1 If of these cases 11a, l ib are formed by the Bonoleto 65 and the nut 66. It is detachably connected.
- the support bracket 15 and the upper case l ib are fixed by bolts 67 inserted outside the upper case l ib. Note that these fixing devices such as the bolts 67 are merely examples, and it is of course possible to fix them using other fixing devices such as screws.
- a pipe 16a branched from the fuel supply pipe 16 is connected to the upper end of each fuel injector 14.
- the rear wall llg of the upper case lib has a through hole 75 formed therein.
- a waterproof seal member 73 is fitted into the through hole 75, and the fuel supply pipe 16 penetrates the seal member 73.
- the fuel supply pipe 16 is disposed between the inside of the air cleaner 10 (strictly, the inside of the separate chamber 68) and the outside through the through hole 75.
- each fuel injector 14 is connected to a power supply hose 14e in a separate chamber 68. As shown in FIGS.
- the rear wall llg of the upper case lib has a through hole 76 formed therein, and the waterproof seal member 74 is fitted into the through hole 76 as well.
- the four sets of power supply harnesses 14e are bundled to form a group of harnesses 70 that penetrate the seal member 74.
- the harness 70 is provided so as to extend between the inside and the outside of the air cleaner 10 through the through hole 76.
- a connector 71 is provided at an end of the housing 70 outside the air cleaner 10.
- the fuel supply device according to the present embodiment can be assembled in the same manner as the fuel supply device according to the second embodiment.
- the present invention is useful for an engine fuel supply device and a vehicle including the same.
