Abstract
A blow-by gas return device includes: a gas path which is configured to introduce a blow-by gas generated in a crankcase into an intake system through an inside of a head cover, a pressure control valve and a blow-by pipe; and an orifice provided to the gas path, the orifice mounted on a wall portion of an intake manifold on a cylinder head side. A passage for a blow-by gas is formed in the wall portion on the cylinder head side, and the orifice is formed on a joint pipe mounted on the passage for the blow-by gas for communicably connecting the blow-by pipe with the passage for the blow-by gas.

A blow-by gas return device comprising:
- a gas path which is configured to introduce a blow-by gas generated in a crankcase into an intake system through an inside of a head cover, a pressure control valve and a blow-by pipe;
- a passage for the blow-by gas being formed on a mounting flange of an intake manifold, the mounting flange being mounted on a cylinder head,
- and an orifice being formed in the passage for the blow-by gas,
- the intake manifold including:
- a plurality of branched pipe portions;
- an intake body communicating with the plurality of branched pipe portions respectively;
- and
- the mounting flange integrating distal end sides of the respective branched pipe portions to each other, the distal end sides being located in a downstream location of an air supply direction,
- the intake system is disposed in the intake body,
- wherein the blow-by pipe is configured to introduce the blow-by gas having flowed through the passage for the blow-by gas to the intake body, and
- wherein the blow-by pipe includes:
- a first tube which connects the pressure control valve mounted on the head cover and the passage for the blow-by gas;
- and a second tube which connects the passage for the blow-by gas and the intake body.
