Abstract

An intake system for a vehicle may include an intake manifold having an internal space divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by a partition wall, in which intake air flows into the first chamber through a charging path and is then discharged to a portion of an intake port connected to the intake manifold; and intake air flows into the second chamber through a bypass path bypassing charger and is then discharged to another portion of the intake port.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An intake system for a vehicle, the intake system comprising: an intake manifold having a first chamber and a second chamber, wherein charged air flows into the first chamber through a charging path and fresh air flows into the second chamber through a bypass path and is then discharged to an intake port.

2. The intake system of claim 1 , wherein the charged air in the first chamber is flowed to a lower portion of the intake port; and wherein the fresh air in the second chamber is flowed to an upper portion of the intake port.

3. The intake system of claim 1 , wherein an partition wall is formed to laterally cross an inside of the intake manifold, so that a cross-section of an outlet of the intake manifold is divided upward and downwards by the partition wall.

4. The intake system of claim 1 , wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are formed so that cross-sectional areas thereof are each decreased toward an outlet thereof from an inlet thereof.

5. The intake system of claim 1 , further including a tumble adaptor, wherein a first end of the tumble adaptor is coupled to an outlet of the intake manifold, wherein a second end of the tumble adaptor is inserted into the intake port, and wherein an internal space of the tumble adaptor is divided upward and downwards to be independently connected to the first chamber and the second chamber, respectively.

6. The intake system of claim 5 , wherein an adaptor partition wall is laterally formed through an interior portion of the tumble adaptor, so that the tumble adaptor includes an upper channel and a lower channel, wherein the upper channel is connected to the second chamber and the lower channel is connected to the first chamber, and wherein the charged air discharged from an outlet of the first chamber flows through the lower channel of the tumble adaptor and the fresh air discharged from an outlet of the second chamber flows through the upper channel.

7. The intake system of claim 1 ,
wherein an intercooler is connected to a front end portion of the first chamber,
wherein a charger is connected to a front end portion of the intercooler, and
wherein an intake pipe is connected to a front end portion of the charger, for forming the charging path.

8. The intake system of claim 7 ,
wherein a surge tank is connected between the intercooler and the charger and is directly connected to the intercooler; and
wherein the intercooler is directly connected to an inlet of the first chamber.

9. The intake system of claim 1 ,
wherein a bypass duct is connected to the second chamber; and
wherein a bypass pipe diverging from an intake pipe connected to the first chamber is connected to the bypass duct, for forming the bypass path.

10. The intake system of claim 9 ,
wherein an intercooler is connected to a front end portion of the first chamber,
wherein a charger is connected to a front end portion of the intercooler, and
wherein the intake pipe is connected to a front end portion of the charger connected to the intercooler and the intake pipe, for forming the charging path.

11. The intake system of claim 10 , wherein the bypass duct is directly connected to an inlet of the second chamber.

12. The intake system of claim 11 , wherein a bypass valve is disposed to be opened or closed in the bypass duct, so that flow of intake air into the bypass duct is adjusted.

13. The intake system of claim 10 ,
wherein an internal space of the bypass duct includes a first part connected to an inlet of the bypass duct and a second part connected to an outlet of the bypass duct, and
wherein a plurality of channels is longitudinally formed between the first part and the second part in the bypass duct, so that intake air uniformly flows through the plurality of channels.

14. The intake system of claim 13 ,
wherein the first part and the second part are elongated left and right and are stacked up and downwards of the bypass duct,
wherein an inlet of the bypass duct is formed on a first side of the first part, and
wherein an outlet of the bypass duct is formed on a second side thereof, opposite to the first side of the first part.

15. The intake system of claim 1 , wherein a blow-by gas flow path is formed in the intake manifold and at least a gas distribution hole is formed between the blow-by gas flow path and the second chamber, so that a blow-by gas flowing into the blow-by gas flow path flows into the second chamber through the at least a gas distribution hole.

16. The intake system of claim 15 ,
wherein the blow-by gas flow path is longitudinally formed along an external surface of the intake manifold, and
wherein the at least a gas distribution hole is formed for each intake port along the blow-by gas flow path.

17. The intake system of claim 1 ,
wherein a charger is provided in the charging path,
wherein a bypass duct that is configured to adjust a flow rate of the intake air is provided in the bypass path, and
wherein the intake system further includes a controller configured for controlling the intake air to flow into the intake port only through the first chamber connected to the charging path by closing the bypass duct upon determining that the charger is operated.

18. The intake system of claim 17 , wherein upon determining that the charger is not operated, the controller is configured to control the intake air to flow into the intake port through the first chamber and the second chamber connected to the charging path and the bypass path, respectively, by opening the bypass duct.

19. The intake system of claim 17 , further including:
a bypass valve mounted in the bypass duct and electrically connected to the controller to adjust the intake air flowing into the bypass duct; and
an electronic throttle valve electrically connected to the controller and mounted an end of an intake pipe connected to the charger and forming the charging path,
wherein a first end portion of a bypass pipe is connected to a portion of the intake pipe connected to a rear end portion of the electronic throttle valve and a second end portion of the bypass pipe is connected to the bypass duct, so that external air selectively flows into the bypass duct when the controller controls the electronic throttle valve.
