  • Patent number: 7753022
    Abstract: A resin intake manifold is provided with a surge tank, an independent intake passage connected to the surge tank, and a plurality of pieces formed in a predetermined shape and welded along a weld line. A funnel portion is formed in a portion connected from the surge tank to the independent intake passage, and the weld line is formed so as to cross over a portion near the funnel portion. A funnel partition wall separating a plurality of independent intake passages is formed in the funnel portion so as to protrude from one piece to another piece. A funnel wall receiving portion receiving the funnel partition wall is formed in another piece, and the funnel partition wall and the funnel wall receiving portion are welded in bonded surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7082915
    Abstract: A resin intake manifold is provided with an integrally formed base member. The base member has a U-shaped curved distribution passage lower surface wall portion, an engine mounting flange portion formed in one end of the distribution passage lower surface wall portion, and a surge tank peripheral wall portion formed in another end and a lower surface side of the distribution passage lower surface wall portion. A resonator peripheral wall portion is integrally formed in a dead space in a lower surface side of the distribution passage lower surface wall portion and between the surge tank peripheral wall portion and the engine mounting flange portion. In accordance with the structure in which the wall itself constituting the resonator is formed by the structure member, it is possible to structure the resonator without enlarging a size of the intake manifold and without lowering the strength.
