Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a serviceable exhaust treatment system having an exhaust gas treatment component adapted to treat a flow of exhaust gas from a combustion engine, such as in proximity.
Background
The exhaust system generally directs exhaust gases formed as a result of controlled combustion within the engine of the vehicle. Diesel engines are ignited by high temperatures of fuel in the compressed stateUnlike spark-ignited gasoline engines. Often, dangerous chemical constituents are present in diesel exhaust, such as Nitrogen Oxides (NO)x) Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons, and particulate matter, such as carbon, organic materials and trace metal compounds (metals compounds).
Exposure to exhaust gases is a common problem in the modern world and therefore the gases emitted from an engine and their amounts are regulated by legal requirements. Compliance with regulations that reduce exhaust gas exposure to emissions is thereby ensured by exhaust aftertreatment systems that include components such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs), Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs), and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) components in order to reduce the toxic effects of the exhaust gas. In short, the exhaust gas passes through multiple filters and/or catalytic converters to reduce the dangerous effects of the exhaust gas.
Components of the exhaust system may require replacement and periodic maintenance, or may require cleaning of residues on the filter surface. It is therefore of utmost importance to ensure maintenance of the individual components without the need to disassemble the entire exhaust system.
Various exhaust systems exist in the prior art, those generally comprising different treatment sections having one or more components that are independently removable from the housing of the exhaust system. It will be noted, however, that the present invention is based on the following recognized design, and there is still a great need for such removable components to be repaired in a structurally reliable and generally practical manner.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an exhaust aftertreatment assembly with multiple components that are physically removable independently and substantially structurally improved.
A prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention, which may be referred to as document US 7,550,024B 2, discloses an exhaust aftertreatment assembly for an internal combustion engine and a related method, allowing the aftertreatment component to be removed laterally from between a first assembly member and a second assembly member for servicing. The exhaust aftertreatment assembly includes an aftertreatment member extending axially along an axis between distally opposite first and second axial ends mounted in sealing relationship with first and second assembly members axially spaced apart by the aftertreatment member therebetween, the aftertreatment member being laterally removable between the first and second assembly members for servicing.
In another aspect, the present invention provides removable exhaust treatment components disposed within a housing of an exhaust treatment system to effect filtration of hazardous gases such that each component may be independently removed for servicing in a substantially practical manner while at the same time ensuring that mechanically reinforced multi-component structures may be joined to one another in a robust and stable manner.
This is particularly important in the case of interconnected components that require periodic maintenance, as each and every component of the overall system involves physical and reversible interaction with each other.
Disclosure of Invention
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide an exhaust treatment system having a compartment for receiving a removable aftertreatment component in a manner such that a plurality of such components may be serviced sequentially in a practical manner by a mechanically robust interengaging structure.
Furthermore, the present invention is directed to ensuring easy mounting and dismounting of a plurality of removable treatment members adapted to be operatively connected to each other, irrespective of the experience of the operator responsible for the maintenance operation.
The present invention provides an exhaust gas treatment system for filtering and/or converting exhaust gas to reduce its toxicity prior to discharge to the external environment.
Further, the present invention provides a system and method by which the installation and removal of a process component disposed within a housing of an exhaust gas treatment system is made substantially practical.
The mounting of the pair of treatment members is ensured by means of a V-clip adapted to fasten the proximal end of the enclosure member and the proximal end of the first treatment member. The V-clip also enables fastening of the proximal end of the second process member, so that the outer envelope of the first process member and the first process member itself are reliably fastened to the second member, thereby connecting the first and second process members, while at the same time ensuring that operational displacements of the members and their actual displacements during maintenance are avoided.

The present invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment system (1) for an internal combustion engine, said exhaust gas treatment system (1) comprising an exhaust compartment housing (2) generally defining an internal exhaust gas passage chamber between an inlet and an outlet, via which combustion exhaust gases are received and treated in a leak-free treatment chamber manner. In the case of a diesel engine in question, the exhaust gases received into the exhaust compartment housing (2) may be treated by a plurality of treatment components, for example in the form of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) or a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) component, which are arranged in the exhaust compartment housing (2). The handling member is accessible for maintenance and replacement purposes via a service cover (3).
An exhaust compartment housing (2) of an exhaust gas treatment system (1) comprises a first treatment member (4) and a second treatment member (5) extending in sequence along the interior of the exhaust compartment housing (2). According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the second treatment member (5) may be provided as a filter when the first treatment is used as a catalyst. Exhaust gases gradually sucked into said first and second treatment members (4, 5) positioned axially adjacent in an interconnected manner are treated by said members in order to filter out substances and toxic air pollutants in the form of particles in the diesel exhaust gases and to reduce the toxicity of the exhaust gases before their discharge from the exhaust compartment housing (2) is effected.
According to the invention, each of said first and second treatment members (4, 5) is removable, whereby maintenance operations can be carried out in order to replace the members individually in a practical manner. The service cover (3) allowing access into the exhaust compartment housing (2) is a biplanar element with an L-shaped cross section, thereby partially closing said exhaust compartment housing (2) at its two side planes, each of which is perpendicular to each other. Thus, the maintenance cover (3) of L-shaped cross-section closes the upper part of the exhaust compartment housing (2), as well as the front side thereof.
The first treatment member (4) and the second treatment member (5) comprise an intermediate space and a terminal space (12) positioned between the two treatment members and between the second treatment member (5) and the side wall of the exhaust compartment housing (2), respectively. In other words, the intermediate space (11) is provided between the peripheral edges of the first and second treatment members (4, 5) at the reciprocating axial ends thereof, and the terminal space (12) is provided between the side wall of the exhaust compartment housing (2) and the peripheral edge of the second treatment member (5) at the axial end thereof remote from the first treatment member (4).
The first and second treatment members (4, 5) are cylindrical structures having a circular cross-section. Each of the treatment members is movably arranged within the exhaust compartment housing (2) such that after it has been removed from the exhaust compartment housing (2) in a lateral direction, the first treatment member (4) can be slid in an axial direction to a home position of the second treatment member (5).
The first treatment member (4) and the second treatment member (5) are fixedly connected to each other inside the exhaust compartment housing (2) in an operating state by means of releasable clamping means (9) in such a way that the inner axial end of the first treatment member (4) is firmly fastened to the inner axial end of the second treatment member (5). The clamping means (9) fixedly attaching the first and second treatment members (4, 5) is a V-clamp having a V-shaped cross-section, enclosing a circumferential edge of the treatment member housing (16) and inner reciprocating circumferential edges of the first and second treatment members (4, 5). As will be described below, the clamping means (9) enables fixation in both the axial and radial directions.
The clamping means (9) connects the circumferential edge at the second axial end of the first treatment member (4) to the circumferential edge at the first axial end of the second treatment member (5) by means of said treatment member housing (16) in such a way that it also maintains the first treatment member (4) in a fixed mounting position when the latter treatment member housing (16) completely enclosing the first treatment member (4) is interconnected with the second treatment member (5). Thus, the peripheral edges of both the processing member case (16) and the first processing member (4) are sandwiched with the second processing member (5). The clamping means (9) also ensure a mechanically rigid connection of the treatment members with each other and the exhaust compartment housing (2) when the treatment member housing (16) is supported by two reinforcing brackets (17) fixedly attached to the exhaust compartment housing (2).
The peripheries of the first and second treatment members (4, 5) facing each other and the periphery of the treatment member housing (16) are bent outwardly in one direction to extend into the inner space defined by the V-shaped clamping means (9).
According to the invention, the peripheral edge at the second axial end of the second treatment member (5) is connected to a holding portion (18), the holding portion (18) being configured as an annular element in mechanical communication with the edge of the second treatment member (5) via a belt clip (6). The holding portion (18) and the reciprocating edge of the second treatment member (5) are joined to each other by means of the belt clip (6). When the belt clip (6) is released, the second treating member (5) can be moved sideways by an amount such that it can be removed in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the treating member. The belt clip (6) thereby cooperating with the retaining portion (18) having an axial tolerance gap with respect to the sidewall of the exhaust compartment housing (2) allows easy access for the purpose of mounting and dismounting the second treatment member (5) during maintenance operations.
The clamping means (9) typically comprises sealing means (10) within its enclosure, providing impermeability at the interconnection area of the first processing member (4) and the second processing member (5). In other words, the clamping means (9) effectively interlocking two treatment members at the same time ensures impermeability of the joint of the treatment members.
The first treatment member (4) comprises at least one treatment means (7) at an inner cavity part of its tubular structure to provide an easy handling for sliding said first treatment member (4) out of the treatment member housing (16) after removal of the second treatment member (5).
The service cover (3) partially covers the exhaust compartment housing (2), extending over a surface portion thereof between the clamping means (9) and the holding portion (18). In other words, the service cover (3) is constructed in such a way that its inner end in the axial direction of the treatment member adjacent to the clamping means (9) is substantially close thereto, while it still completely covers the clamping means (9), so that the latter remains within easy reach during the service operation in the open state of the service cover (3).
The above construction also provides that the upper and front wall portions of the exhaust compartment housing (2) enclose a larger part of the process member housing (16) to enclose the first process member (4), thereby ensuring that the dimensions of the service cover (3) are small enough to only allow a practical replacement of the process member, while at the same time keeping the closed body portion of the exhaust compartment housing (2) as large as possible to ensure a mechanically robust structure. In particular, the fact that the size of the closed body portion in the axial direction of the treatment member is sufficiently large ensures that two reinforcement brackets (17) fixedly attaching the treatment member housing (16) to the exhaust compartment housing (2) can be placed further away from each other, so that the inner reinforcement brackets (17) are as close as possible to the clamping means (9), which clamping means (9) clamp a plurality of separate parts and elements, thereby forming a more reliable mechanical communication between the clamping means (9) and the exhaust compartment housing (2). Thus, both accessibility of the clamping means (9) and a robust connection thereof to the exhaust compartment housing (2) are ensured.
Each of the first processing member (4) and the processing member housing (16) includes a sensor access aperture (14) so as to be alignable to allow access to a sensor set of the first processing member (4). These sensor access apertures (14) are generally indicated by the same numerals and are only shown for the exhaust compartment housing (2) and the first process component (4).
The first process component (4) may also include a locating pin (15) located radially adjacent to its outer edge, ensuring proper alignment of the sensor access aperture (14) with corresponding apertures on different parts (the exhaust compartment housing (2), the process component housing (16) and the first process component (4)). Furthermore, the web (13) can be positioned generally in relation to the first processing member (4).
According to the invention, an additional support ring (8) is provided to support the sealing means (10) in a radially limited manner. In a more particular way, the support ring (8) extends axially to completely cover the open side of the V-shaped clamping means (9) in contact with the sealing means (10) and a portion of the axially inner peripheral edge of the first treatment member (4). The peripheral edge of the first treatment member (4) is thereby clamped between the support ring (8) and the treatment member housing (16). This construction advantageously supports, adjacent to its axial end of the second process member (5), a sealing means (10) within a clamping means (9), which clamping means (9) interconnects the reciprocating axially inner circumferential edges of the first (4) and second (5) process members and the circumferential edge of a process member housing (16). In an exemplary embodiment according to the invention, the support ring (8) is fixably attached to the first process member (4).
Briefly, the present invention proposes an exhaust gas treatment system (1) comprising a first treatment member (4) and a second treatment member (5) extending in sequence along the interior of an exhaust compartment housing (2) in an axial direction thereof, between an inlet and an outlet via which combustion exhaust gases are treated.

In another embodiment of the invention, the first treatment member (4) and the second treatment member (5) are accessible via the service cover (3) in such a way that each of the first treatment member (4) and the second treatment member (5) is movably arranged in a sequentially removable manner within the exhaust compartment housing (2) in such a way that the first treatment member (4) is axially slidable after the second treatment member (5) has been removed laterally via the service cover (3).
In another embodiment of the invention, the service cover (3) is a biplane element with an L-shaped cross section and partially enclosing the exhaust compartment housing (2) at its two side planes, each of which is perpendicular to each other.
In another embodiment of the invention, the clamping means (9) in the form of a V-clip with a V-shaped cross section surrounds the circumferential edge of the treatment member housing (16) and the axially inner reciprocating circumferential edges of the first treatment member (4) and the second treatment member (5).
