Abstract

An engine device in which exhaust pipes and an intake pipe can be mounted highly rigidly by using an upper face corner of a cylinder block in an engine, and a support structure of the exhaust pipes and the intake pipe can be simplified. In an engine device in which a first supercharger and a second supercharger are disposed in series on an exhaust gas discharge path of an engine, the engine device has a structure in which the first supercharger and the second supercharger are disposed to be divided on opposed side faces of the engine, and an upper side exhaust pipe between the engine and the first supercharger, a lower side exhaust pipe between the first supercharger and the second supercharger, and an intake pipe between the first supercharger and the second supercharger extend to be substantially flush with one another at a head-cover disposed-height of an upper face of the engine.

Claims (8)

1. An engine device comprising a first supercharger configured to operate at a higher pressure and a second supercharger configured to operate at a lower pressure, the first and second superchargers being disposed in series on an exhaust gas discharge path of an engine, and a high pressure exhaust pipe linking an exhaust gas outlet of the first supercharger to an exhaust gas inlet of the second supercharger, the engine having a cylinder block and a cylinder head cover, the cylinder head cover forming an upper face of the engine, and a plurality of cylinders aligned in a lengthwise direction of the cylinder block, and

further comprising an oil cooler of the engine and an oil filter disposed at one lengthwise side of the cylinder block, and a fuel pump, a start-stop switch box, an engine starter and an engine control panel disposed at another lengthwise side of the cylinder block, the start-stop switch box engine starter and engine control panel being configured to start, stop and control the engine,

wherein the first supercharger and the second supercharger are disposed on respective opposed end faces of the engine; and

wherein first and second exhaust manifolds communicating between the engine and the first supercharger and disposed between the first supercharger and the second supercharger, and a fresh air introduction pipe between the first supercharger and the second supercharger extend to be substantially flush with one another at a height of the upper face of the engine, and

wherein the first exhaust manifold and the second exhaust manifold and the high pressure exhaust pipe extend along the length of the cylinder block and are disposed so as to be closer to the one lengthwise side of the cylinder block on which the oil cooler and the oil filter are disposed than the other lengthwise side of the cylinder block and the fresh air introduction pipe is disposed at the other lengthwise side of the cylinder block and extends along the length of the cylinder block.

2. The engine device according to claim 1 , wherein an exhaust inlet portion of the first exhaust manifold is connected to a cylinder head of the engine, and the second exhaust manifold is connected to and supported by the first exhaust manifold via a connection bracket body.

3. The engine device according to claim 1 , wherein the engine device has a structure in which a cylinder head is fastened to the cylinder block of the engine by a head fixing bolt, and the fresh air introduction pipe is attached to the head fixing bolt via a fresh air introduction pipe support body.

4. The engine device according to claim 2 , wherein the engine device has a structure in which the cylinder head is fastened to the cylinder block of the engine by a head fixing bolt, and the fresh air introduction pipe is attached to the head fixing bolt via a fresh air introduction pipe support body.
