  • Patent number: 11725553
    Abstract: An engine includes: an exhaust manifold 7 close to one of left and right side surfaces of an engine; a turbocharger 60 having an exhaust-side inlet connected to the exhaust manifold 7; and a rocker-arm-chamber-integrated intake manifold 8 being disposed on an upper surface of a cylinder head 5 and integrally including a rocker arm chamber 90 and an intake manifold 6. The intake manifold 8 has a wall 101 dividing the rocker arm chamber 90 close to the one of the left and right side surfaces of the engine 1 and the intake manifold 6 close to the other of the left and right side surfaces to isolate the rocker arm chamber 90 and the intake manifold 6 from each other. The rocker arm chamber 90 has, in its upper portion, a positive crankcase ventilation device 69 protruding therefrom and being configured to return blowby gas to an intake system.

  • Patent number: 11410941
    Abstract: A semiconductor module includes semiconductor elements, a case that houses the semiconductor elements, an external terminal electrically connecting the semiconductor elements and an external conductor, and a nut into which a bolt that secures the external conductor and the external terminal is threaded. The nut includes a cylindrical main body having a threaded hole, and a flange projecting in a direction radially outward of a center axis of the threaded nut hole and being disposed on one face of the main body. The case includes a wall surrounding the nut, the wall having a first recess that houses the main body, a second recess above the first recess and housing the flange, and a notch cut in a portion of the wall surrounding the main body. The first recess extends deeper than the main body, and the fillet is formed on a floor surface of the first recess.

  • Patent number: 10801378
    Abstract: An engine including: an exhaust manifold provided near one side surface of an engine; a turbocharger having an exhaust-side inlet connected to the exhaust manifold; and a rocker-arm-chamber-integrated intake manifold disposed on a cylinder head and integrally including a rocker arm chamber and an intake manifold. The intake manifold has a wall dividing the rocker arm chamber provided near one side surface of the engine and the intake manifold provided near another side surface thereof to isolate the rocker arm chamber and the intake manifold from each other. The rocker arm chamber has, in its upper portion, a positive crankcase ventilation device protruding therefrom and returning blowby gas to an intake system. The positive crankcase ventilation device has a blowby-gas discharge port connected with a gas conduit through which blowby gas is delivered to an intake-side inlet of the turbocharger.
