INTAKE MODULE

摘要

The invention concerns an intake module (11) for an internal combustion engine, said intake module (11) comprising additional intake ducts (12) which can be closed by flaps (13). These flaps (13) are connected to one another via coupling means and to actuating means in the form of a servomotor. In order to compensate tolerances between the flaps and actuating means, the coupling means have a resilient region which above all allows the intake ducts to be closed and opened completely. The resilience can be brought about by a change in cross-section or material reduction (20). In one variant of the invention, the coupling means are composed of multipart articulated main rods (17) which control the flaps (13) by means of resiliently mounted legs (19). In another variant, the coupling means are designed as a main rod (17) with branch rods (35) emerging therefrom, the resilient region extending as a relatively thin cross-section of the branch rods over their entire length.
