Abstract

A resonator ( 12 ) for reducing intake air noise is connected to an intake air duct ( 6 ) connecting a throttle chamber ( 5 ) and an air cleaner case ( 7 ). This blow-by gas treatment device is equipped with a fresh air introduction passage comprising a fresh air introduction hose ( 16 ), and a blow-by gas passage comprising a blow-by gas hose ( 20 ), with the fresh air introduction hose ( 16 ) connecting a cylinder head cover ( 4 ) and the resonator ( 12 ). A connector part ( 15 ) of the resonator ( 12 ) to which the fresh air introduction hose ( 16 ) is connected is provided with an orifice ( 21 ) formed integral with a lower body ( 13 ) formed of a synthetic resin, as a part thereof. Pulsation is effectively reduced by the throttling effect of the orifice ( 21 ) and the expansion effect of the resonator ( 12 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A blow-by gas treatment device for internal combustion engine which device is equipped with a fresh air introduction passage leading from the upstream side of a throttle valve of an intake air passage to an interior of a crankcase and a blow-by gas passage leading from the interior of the crankcase to the downstream side of the throttle valve of the intake air passage, wherein
a resonator is connected between the throttle valve of the intake air passage and an air flow meter disposed on the upstream side therefrom while one end of the fresh air introduction passage is connected to the resonator,
the resonator is provided to have a connector part to which a pipe serving as the fresh air introduction passage is connected, and an orifice is formed at the connector part,
the resonator is formed with the connector part at its lower position in a vehicle-mounted posture so that oil separated from blow-by gas is brought back toward the crankcase through the fresh air introduction passage.

2. A blow-by gas treatment device for internal combustion engine, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resonator comprises a synthetic resin molded article, and the connector part is formed as a part of the resonator while the orifice is formed integral with the connector part.

3. A blow-by gas treatment device for internal combustion engine, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the orifice opens biasedly toward a lower side of the cylindrical-shaped connector part.
