Abstract:
A resin intake manifold is provided with two separated bodies manufactured by connecting protrusions of weld portions of the separated bodies to each other in accordance with a vibration welding, and a cover wall in which one of the weld portions is arranged in an inner side or an outer side of the protrusion with leaving space with the protrusion. The protrusions of the weld portions are respectively provided with parallel protrusion portions extending in parallel to a vibrating direction of the vibration welding, and a cover wall arranged at a position in an orthogonal direction to the vibrating direction in the parallel protrusion portions is provided with an extension portion extending to the separated body in the other side welded to the separated body provided with the cover wall, in such a manner as to prevent a burr generated at a time of welding the parallel protrusion portion from getting over the cover wall arranged at the position in the orthogonal to the vibrating direction in the parallel protrusion portion. A recess groove receiving the extension portion is arranged in a side of the other side separated body.
Abstract:
An air intake device for an internal combustion engine formed of at least two plastic component parts assembled to form a combustion air flow channel. The plastic component parts have communicating weld surfaces lying radially outside the flow channel, along which the plastic component parts are joined to each other by friction welding, and at least two communicating weld surfaces with different radial distances from the flow channel are provided on both the first and the second plastic component parts.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved bonding system including an adhesion promoter that may be used to help adhesively bond two or more components together. The preferred use of the present adhesion promoter is in a transportation vehicle (e.g., automobile), and more particularly in an engine assembly for use in such vehicles. The present invention includes a bonded automobile engine assembly including at least one plastic component, an adhesive that bonds the plastic component to at least one separate component, and an adhesion promoter between the adhesive and the plastic component. Fasteners for attaching components are optionally employed. In one specific example, an intake manifold including a plastic component is bonded to an engine assembly.
Abstract:
Upper and lower split components include upper and lower concave parts, respectively, forming the inner periphery of an intake pipe. An internal pipe is placed between the upper and lower concave parts. The upper concave part is formed a distance away from the outer periphery of the internal pipe. The outer periphery of the internal pipe is provided with a fitting part fitted into the lower concave part and a sealing part accommodated in an accommodation recess formed in the upper concave part. The inner face of the accommodation recess and the sealing part are formed along the direction of vibration of vibration welding and are in contact with each other.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a synthetic weld body which sectional shape of a passage to a bore can be an ideal shape by welding two synthetic members.The edge at the passage side of the rising boundary line 78a-1, 78a-2, 78b-1, 78b-2, 78c-1, 78c-2, 78d-1, 78d-2 which is the boundary between the top end connecting face and the mount connecting face of the middle member 70 is disposed at or in the vicinity of a contact point of the tangent line of the ridge line 84 of the mount connecting face at the passage side with the inner edge of the top end connecting face 74a, 74b, 74c, 74d at the bore 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d side. The rising boundary line 78a-1, 78a-2, 78b-1, 78b-2, 78c-1, 78c-2, 78d-1, 78d-2 including the edge at the passage side is parallel to the standard direction for vibration.
Abstract:
A multicylinder internal combustion engine E has a cylinder head 2; a cylinder head cover 3; an intake manifold 20 having a header body 21 disposed right above an engine body and intake runners 22; and a resonator 50. Each of the intake runners 22 has a bend 24 extending away from cylinder axes L in a longitudinal direction A2 perpendicular to the cylinder axes L, and curving so as to extend reversely toward the cylinder axes L. The resonator 50 is disposed opposite to the engine body with respect to the intake manifold 20 and is nearer to the cylinder axes L than outermost end parts 24a of the bends 24. The engine including the in take manifold and the resonator can be formed in a small dimension with respect to a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the cylinder axes, and the resonance chamber of the resonator can be easily formed to have a necessary volume.
Abstract:
To provide a material for laser welding, which is excellent in laser transmittance, as well as low warpage and enables a shaped article to be obtained with high weld strength and uniform weld strength by laser welding. This material for laser welding comprises a thermoplastic resin composition containing (A) a thermoplastic resin and (B) a glass fiber having a non-circular cross-section with the ratio between the long diameter and the short diameter in the cross-section at right angles to the length direction being from 1.2 to 10.
Abstract:
A lower manifold for a V-style internal combustion engine comprising at least three shells: a top shell for mating with an upper manifold; a left shell for mating with a left engine head; and a right shell for mating with a right engine head. The three shells are formed independently by injection molding and are joined as by vibration welding when aligned in a welding jig. The molds for the left and right shells are formed such that the seal ring groove has a rectangular cross-section having sidewalls perpendicular to the lower shell surface because each left and right shell has its own draft angle preferably perpendicular to its lower shell surface. The method and apparatus of the invention permits runner cross-sections to be significantly rounded, which improves air flow characteristics of the runners.
Abstract:
An air intake manifold assembly for use with an internal combustion engine includes a plenum portion and a runner assembly mounted to the plenum portion. The runner assembly has a flange disposed between an air intake portion and an air outlet portion.
