Abstract
An impulse charger for motor vehicle engines include impulse valves driven using driving force continuously generated by a driving apparatus so as to be instantaneously opened and closed at a high speed by a link unit in which link members are interconnected, and in which the impulse valves for all cylinders are simultaneously driven. Thus, the impulse charger provides simple drive control, reduction in necessary components, and an efficient mounting space, guarantees easy manufacturing and mounting at a low cost, and prevents noise from being generated when the impulse valves are operated.
Claims16
An impulse charger for motor vehicle engines, which is mounted so as to communicate with intake runners of the engine, and controls opening and closing of the intake runners to increase volume efficiency of intake air, the impulse charger comprising:
- an impulse block, through which intake holes pass so as to communicate with the intake runners;
- an impulse valve, which opens and closes the intake holes;
- a driving apparatus, which generates a continuous driving force and drives the impulse valve;
- and
- at least one link unit, which is connected by at least one link member, and transmits the driving force from the driving apparatus to the impulse valve;
- wherein the continuous driving force generated by the driving apparatus is transferred through the link unit, and is transmitted to the impulse valve such that the impulse valve is opened and closed at predetermined periods.
