Air intake device for internal combustion engines

An air intake device for an engine comprising an intake manifold (1) equipped with a series of intake pipes (4) respectively associated with an inlet duct (5) of the cylinder head (3), each of the inlet ducts being subdivided into an upper duct segment (50) and a lower duct segment (51) by a partition (6), and the intake manifold (1) being equipped with a series of flaps (7) mounted about a common rotation shaft (8). The partition (6) of each of the inlet ducts (5) extends into the associated intake pipe (4), and each of the flaps (7 ) is mobile between an open position and a sealing position in which it essentially seals the lower segment (51) of the associated inlet duct (5).
