ABSTRACT:
An intake port device for an engine of a vehicle includes a cylinder head having an intake port therein, an intake valve, disposed at an end of the intake port leading to an engine cylinder, for opening and closing the intake port, and a cross-section controller for controlling a cross-sectional area of a portion of the intake port. The cross-section controller includes an elastic member disposed about an inner wall of the intake port, and a movable member forming a portion of the inner wall of the intake port. The movable member may be a hydraulically controlled piston which moves according to the speed of the engine so as to change the cross-sectional area of the intake port; thus, properly and effectively generating a swirling air flow to improve combustion within the engine.
