Abstract

A rectification structural body includes a pipe line configured such that air flows from an air cleaner to an airflow sensor. The pipe line has a portion bent in an arc shape. In the pipe line, an air guide plate dividing an internal space of the pipe line into an inner portion and an outer portion of the arc is provided substantially parallel with the center line of the pipe line. The air guide plate includes two ribs. The two ribs are each in an arc shape. The two ribs stand, inside the pipe line, facing each other to extend toward each other. End edges of the two ribs are separated from each other in a rib standing direction by 0.5 to 5 mm at least on an airflow sensor side of the pipe line.

Claims (30)

1. A rectification structural body provided between an air cleaner and an airflow sensor in an intake system of an internal combustion engine, the rectification structural body comprising a pipe line configured such that air flows from the air cleaner to the airflow sensor, wherein

the pipe line includes a portion bent in an arc shape,

in the pipe line, an air guide plate is provided substantially parallel with a center line of the pipe line,

the air guide plate divides an internal space of the pipe line into an inner portion and an outer portion of the arc,

the air guide plate includes two ribs,

the two ribs are each in an arc shape,

the two ribs stand, inside the pipe line, facing each other to extend toward each other, and

end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other in a rib standing direction by 0.5 to 5 mm at least on an airflow sensor side of the pipe line.

2. The rectification structural body according to claim 1 , wherein

the two ribs are substantially provided in a single continuous curved surface.

3. The rectification structural body according to claim 1 , wherein

the end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other across an entirety of the ribs along the center line of the pipe line.

4. The rectification structural body according to claim 2 , wherein

the end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other across an entire of the ribs along the center line of the pipe line.

5. The rectification structural body according to claim 1 , wherein

a spot at which the end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other is positioned at a substantially center portion in a section of the pipe line perpendicular to the center line of the pipe line.

6. The rectification structural body according to claim 2 , wherein

a spot at which the end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other is positioned at a substantially center portion in a section of the pipe line perpendicular to the center line of the pipe line.

7. The rectification structural body according to claim 3 , wherein

a spot at which the end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other is positioned at a substantially center portion in a section of the pipe line perpendicular to the center line of the pipe line.

8. The rectification structural body according to claim 4 , wherein

a spot at which the end edges of the two ribs are separated from each other is positioned at a substantially center portion in a section of the pipe line perpendicular to the center line of the pipe line.

9. The rectification structural body according to claim 3 , wherein

the pipe line includes a first case and a second case integrated with each other,

in the first case, one of the ribs stands in a substantially arc shape, and

in the second case, the other rib stands in a substantially arc shape.

10. The rectification structural body according to claim 4 , wherein

the pipe line includes a first case and a second case integrated with each other,

in the first case, one of the ribs stands in a substantially arc shape, and

in the second case, the other rib stands in a substantially arc shape.
