Helically-shaped intake port of an internal combustion engine

摘要

An engine comprising an intake port which has a separating wall projecting downward from the upper wall of the intake port. The separating wall defines a helical portion, an inlet passage portion tangentially connected to the helical portion, and a bypass passage interconnecting the inlet passage portion to the helical portion. A rotary valve is arranged in the bypass passage and actuated by a vacuum operated diaphragm apparatus. The rotary valve is opened when the amount of air fed into the cylinder of an engine is increased beyond a predetermined value. The separating wall has a height which is equal to approximately half the height of the intake port in the vicinity of the rotary valve.
