Abstract
A resonator 13 is provided including a resonating body 13 which is vibrated by intake air pulsation in an intake system 5, a volume chamber 14 connected through the resonating body 13 to the intake system 5, and a neck section 16 through which an interior space 15 of the volume chamber 14 is communicated with outside. The interior space 15 of the volume chamber 14 and interior of the intake system 5 are partitioned by the resonating body 13. The resonator is so set that a sound pressure in a certain frequency range is released from the neck section 16 to the outside under vibration of the resonating body 13. With this, the sound pressure characteristics of air intake sound can follow a rise in engine speed.
Claims9
An intake device of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a clean side duct connected to a clean side of an air cleaner;
- and
- a resonator including a resonating body which is vibrated by intake air pulsation in an intake system, a volume chamber directly installed to the clean side duct and connected through the resonating body to the intake system, and a volume chamber opening section through which an interior space of the volume chamber is communicated with an outside to the resonator,
- wherein the interior space of the volume chamber and an interior of the intake system are partitioned by the resonating body,
- wherein the resonator is so set that a sound pressure in a certain frequency range is released from the volume chamber opening section to the outside under vibration of the resonating body.
An intake device of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an intake air passage through which intake air is introduced into the internal combustion engine, and
- a resonance passage branched off from the intake air passage,
- wherein the resonance passage has one end opened to atmospheric air and the other end connected to the intake air passage to always allow intake sound to be transmitted from the intake air passage to the resonance passage, the resonance passage having a passage length set to add a sound pressure in a certain frequency range to air intake sound.
An intake device of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a clean side duct connected to a clean side of an air cleaner, the clean side duct having a wall having a through-hole;
- and
- a resonator including:
- a volume chamber directly installed to the clean side duct, the volume chamber including a wall section defining an interior space, the wall section being directly disposed on the wall of the clean side duct, and
- a resonating body which is vibrated by intake air pulsation in an intake system, the resonating body being disposed to block the through-hole of the clean side duct wall, wherein the volume chamber is connected through the resonating body to the intake system,
- a volume chamber opening section through which the interior space of the volume chamber is communicated with an outside to the resonator,
- wherein the interior space of the volume chamber and interior of the intake system are partitioned by the resonating body,
- wherein the resonator is so set that a sound pressure in a certain frequency range is released from the volume chamber opening section to the outside under vibration of the resonating body.
