Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A switching device for influencing the air current in at least one air intake channel of an internal combustion engine, wherein the switching device comprises: a housing having an open interior through which the air intake channel extends; at least one switching unit arranged in the housing and having with at least one switching element for at least partially closing and opening the at least one intake channel; wherein the housing is received in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and which has a distance corresponding to an air gap between the housing and the cylinder head in a radial direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A switching device for influencing the air current in at least one air intake channel of an internal combustion engine, wherein the switching device comprises: a housing having an open interior through which the air intake channel extends; at least one switching unit arranged in the housing and having with at least one switching element for at least partially closing and opening the at least one intake channel; wherein the housing is received in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and which has a distance corresponding to an air gap between the housing and the cylinder head in a radial direction. 2 . The switching device according to claim 1 , wherein in predetermined operating states of the engine, the switching device induces a tumble current in the at least one air intake channel of the internal combustion engine. 3 . The switching device according to claims 1 , wherein the housing of the switching unit is formed as a plastic part. 4 . The switching device according to claim 1 , wherein the switching element is a flap which is operable to change an air current cross-section in the air intake channel. 5 . The switching device according to claim 1 , wherein the switching element is as a rotary vane, which is operable to change an air current cross-section in the air intake channel. 6 . A suction system for intake air of an internal combustion engine, comprising a switching device for opening or partially closing an air intake channel according to claim 1 . 7 . An intermediate flange for intake air of an internal combustion engine, comprising a switching device for opening or partially closing an air intake channel according to claim 1 .
