Abstract
An intake control device for an internal combustion engine having a first intake passage (); a second intake passage (); an intake passage length-changing valve (); a partition () that partitions the intake passage into two partitioned intake passages (); and a tumble control valve (). When one of the partitioned intake passages () is closed by the tumble control valve (), air drawn into a combustion chamber through the open partitioned intake passage () forms a tumble flow. The length of the second intake passage () is longer than the length of the first intake passage () from a surge tank () to the connection point (S) between the second intake passage () and the first intake passage (), and the passage cross-sectional area of the second intake passage () is smaller than the passage cross-sectional area of the first intake passage () from the surge tank to the connection point (S).
