EGR device

An EGR device configured to recirculate, as an EGR gas, some of an exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine to branch passage portions provided in an intake passage, the EGR device comprising:

• an inlet portion into which the EGR gas is introduced;
• a first outlet portion and a second outlet portion that are connected to different ones of the branch passage portions, the first outlet portion and the second outlet portion each conducting, to the corresponding branch passage portion, the EGR gas that has been introduced through the inlet portion;
• and
• a passage portion that allows gas to flow between the inlet portion and the first outlet portion and between the inlet portion and the second outlet portion, wherein the passage portion includes:
• a main passage that connects the inlet portion to the first outlet portion and to the second outlet portion;
• and
• an expansion chamber that is expanded outward from the main passage,
• the main passage includes a connecting portion, the connecting portion being connected to the second outlet portion and extending in a first direction, and
• the expansion chamber is expanded outward from the connecting portion,
• wherein a first portion of the main passage that extends from the inlet portion to the first outlet portion is longer than a second portion of the main passage that extends from the inlet portion to the second outlet portion,
• wherein a section of the first portion of the main passage that connects to the first outlet portion extends towards the first outlet portion, and the connecting portion also extends towards the first outlet portion to connect to the second outlet portion,
• wherein the expansion chamber is expanded from the connecting portion in a direction different from the first direction, and
• wherein the expansion chamber includes a bottom surface that faces upwards away from the second outlet portion, the bottom surface being inclined so that the bottom surface slopes down in a vertical direction towards the second outlet portion.
