  • Patent number: 11846220
    Abstract: An engine that suppresses damage on a support mechanism of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) due to vibration in the pitch direction, in which the DPF, which purifies exhaust gas from an exhaust manifold, is disposed in an orientation orthogonal or approximately orthogonal to a rotational axis of a crankshaft in a plan view. A support mechanism is provided, which enables a cylinder head, an intake manifold, and an intake collector to support the DPF. The support mechanism includes a first support position in which the cylinder head supports the DPF, a second support position in which the intake manifold supports the DPF, and a third support position in which the intake collector supports the DPF. The third support position deviates from the first support position and the second support position in a direction of the rotational axis of the crankshaft.
