Abstract
Systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of throttle bodies are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an intake system comprising a throttle body device including a first interface structured to be coupled to an intake manifold, and a second interface including a receiving bore; and an intake adapter including a third interface including a radial groove structured to house a seal device, and a fourth interface structured to be coupled to an intake conduit, wherein the third interface of the intake of the intake adapter is structured to be inserted into the receiving bore of the second interface of the throttle body device.
Claims22
An intake adapter for a vehicle intake system, the intake adapter comprising:
- an adapter body structured to be disposed between a throttle body and an intake conduit;
- a first interface, disposed at a first opening of the adapter body, including a radial groove structured to house a seal device, and
- a second interface, disposed at a second opening of the adapter body and fluidly opposite the first opening, structured to be coupled to the intake conduit,
- wherein:
- the first interface is structured to be inserted into a receiving bore of a third interface of the throttle body.
A method comprising:
- sealingly coupling, via a seal device, a first interface of an intake adapter to a second interface of a throttle body, the first interface disposed at a first opening of an adapter body of the intake adapter and including a radial groove housing the seal device;
- and
- coupling a third interface of the intake adapter to an intake conduit, the third interface disposed at a second opening of the adapter body fluidly opposite the first opening.
An internal combustion engine comprising:
- an intake adapter for a vehicle intake system, the intake adapter disposed between an intake conduit and a throttle body and comprising:
- an adapter body;
- a first interface;
- and
- a second interface;
- wherein:
- the first interface is disposed at a first opening of the adapter body, includes a radial groove structured to house a seal device, and is inserted into a receiving bore of a third interface of the throttle body;
- and
- the second interface is disposed at a second opening of the adapter body, fluidly opposite the first opening, and is coupled to the intake conduit.
