Abstract
Intake arrangement for an internal combustion engine for the intake of a liquid medium from a container, having a strainer, via which liquid medium can be taken in from the container, and at least one suction pipe which opens with a first end into the strainer and via which the liquid medium can be delivered towards a suction pump, which interacts with the respective suction pipe. The suction pipe is mounted at a second end that faces away from the strainer such that it can be pivoted about an axis such that the suction pipe follows a movement of the liquid within the container.
Claims9
A suction arrangement for an internal combustion engine configured to draw in a liquid medium from a tank, comprising:
- a suction basket from which the liquid medium can be drawn in from the tank;
- a first suction pipe having a first end and a second end, the first end opening into the suction basket and via which the liquid medium is delivered in a direction of a first suction pump, and the second end being arranged at a position opposite the suction basket;
- and
- a second suction pipe having a first end and a second end, the first end opening into the suction basket and via which the liquid medium is delivered in a direction of a second suction pump, and the second end being arranged at a position opposite the suction basket,
- wherein the second end of the first suction pipe and the second end of the second suction pipe are each pivotably mounted about a common axis such that the first suction pipe, the second suction pipe, and the suction basket follow a movement of the liquid medium within the tank initiated by a movement of the tank, and
- wherein the respective second ends of the first and second suction pipes are deflected in opposite directions such that longitudinal axes of each the respective second ends are on the common axis.
