Abstract

An air intake route leads air drawn in from outside into a diesel engine. The air intake route is provided with an air intake manifold and an EGR device is provided which supplies some of the exhaust to the air intake route. An introduction path for introducing exhaust supplied from the EGR device is provided inside of the air intake manifold, and an exhaust port of the introduction path is arranged downstream from and near the intake entrance in the air intake manifold. By this means, exhaust gas performance can be improved without increasing the engine size.

Claims (11)

1. An engine comprising:

an intake path configured to guide air sucked from outside the engine into the engine, the intake path comprising an intake manifold;

an EGR device supplying a part of exhaust gas to the intake path;

an introduction path disposed inside the intake manifold and configured to introduce the exhaust gas supplied from the EGR device to the intake path; and

an exhaust port of the introduction path arranged near a downstream side of an intake inlet of the intake manifold,

wherein the introduction path is circular and a diameter of the introduction path is reduced toward the downstream side.

2. The engine according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust port is provided so as to make a flow direction of the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust port perpendicular to a flow direction of intake air.

3. The engine according to claim 2 , wherein a valve is provided in the intake inlet of the intake manifold, and a valve shaft of the valve is arranged perpendicularly to the flow direction of the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust port.

4. The engine according to claim 3 ,

wherein the intake manifold has a plurality of intake ports, and

wherein the intake ports are arranged in a line, and the intake inlet is arranged above a center of the line.
