With regard to this shape structure, even make the distance between engine and the described catalyst carrier short as far as possible, so that the temperature with catalyzer is elevated to its activation temperature rapidly, also can under the situation that does not strengthen the unlimited angle of tapered segment, eliminate needs to the axial distance that shortens outlet pipe and connecting tube, therefore, in a low speed rotation scope of engine, can prevent reducing of its output torque, and also can be by making that the volume of tapered segment is relatively big and when engine E high load is worked, utilizing this tapered segment to prevent damage to the catalyst carrier flowing resistance as a buffer cell.
According to the present invention program 2 described the present invention, except the structure of the present invention that scheme 1 is described, the internal diameter of described at least connecting tube downstream is configured to the internal diameter less than described outlet pipe.With regard to this structure, because waste gas flows to the core of described catalyst carrier from connecting tube, so the temperature of the catalyzer that can rapidly the catalyst carrier core be carried along with the startup of engine is elevated to its activation temperature.
In order to reach second above-mentioned purpose, according to the present invention program 3 described the present invention, a kind of exhaust gas pollution controller of engine is provided, a cylinder shape catalyst casing that wherein is used to install catalyst carrier is arranged in the cylindrical shell, this cylindrical shell comprises a tapered segment and a column part, the smaller diameter end that this tapered segment has a connecting tube that is connected to outlet pipe is with from the engine exhaust gas routing, and this column part is connected to the larger diameter end of described tapered segment; Described catalyzer casing passes through a supports support by described column part; Described catalyst carrier has the rounded outer surface of diameter greater than described connecting tube external diameter; The upstream extremity of this catalyst carrier is facing to the downstream of described connecting tube, this exhaust gas pollution controller is characterised in that, described supporting element comprises that is slidably mounted in the support cylinder body on the part relatively, this part extends to an one intermediate point from an end of described catalyzer casing along its length, and an end of this support cylinder body is fixed on the end of described catalyzer casing; And flange stretches out from the other end radially outward of described support cylinder body; The outer periphery of described flange is fixed to the internal surface of cylindrical shell column part.
With regard to this structure, because an end of described catalyzer casing is fixed to an end of the support cylinder body of described supporting element, described supporting element is fixed to the column part of described cylindrical shell and extends on the part of an intermediate point from catalyzer casing one end along its length, but be installed in the described support cylinder to described catalyzer casing slide relative, so the catalyzer casing can be supported in the column part of described cylindrical shell, allow the catalyzer casing owing to its thermal expansion is out of shape by an independent supporting element simultaneously.Because the simple shape that is shaped as described supporting element just can reduce its quantity of parts in addition, thereby reduces its manufacture cost.Because the outer periphery of described flange is being protruded with the other end radially outward along the corresponding position of an intermediate portion of the length direction of catalyzer casing from the support cylinder body and is being fixed on the column part of described cylindrical shell, so described supporting element is fixed on the described column part at the position of centre of gravity near each catalyst carrier and catalyzer casing, be applied to stress influence on the described supporting element so that can eliminate at least vibration owing to catalyst carrier and catalyzer casing.Further, because at the area of heat transfer of the column part of cylindrical shell and the heat transfer pathway between the catalyzer casing area less than the device that adopts many supporting elements in the prior art, so, can prevent that catalyzer is subjected to the influence of external temperature, especially, can more effectively be prevented to be subjected to the influence of external temperature by the part of the catalyzer of the part (not being coupled to the part of the support cylinder body of described supporting element) of catalyzer casing carrying.As a result, the further temperature of rugged catalyst.

An air filter 15 is installed in the front end of described spine 5.This air filter 15 is connected to a suction port (not shown), a throttle body and a suction tude 19, and this suction port is provided in the cylinder head 16 of engine E by a flaring pipe 17.A fuel injection valve 20 that injects fuel into described suction port is installed in the intermediate portion of described suction tude 19.
Be connected to a relief opening that provides than the bottom from the upstream extremity of an outlet pipe 21 of described engine E exhaust gas routing at described cylinder head 16.The downstream of described outlet pipe 21 is connected to 24 and one in a tube that is provided at usually on the exhaust gas pollution controller 22 and is set on the silencing apparatus 23 on right side, vehicle frame F rear section.
Referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, tube 24 comprises column part 25, tapered segment 26 and end wall 27, and described tapered segment 26 has a coaxial larger diameter end that is connected of the end with described column part 25, and described end wall 27 is fixed on the other end of described column part 25.Exhaust gas pollution controller 22 has a catalyst carrier 28 and is placed on the position of close one end in the described tube 24, and this catalyst carrier 28 and column part 25 coaxial settings.
Referring to Fig. 4, described catalyst carrier 28 is shaped as a cellular cylindrical body especially, this cellular cylindrical body have a rounded outer surface and with described tube 24 coaxial extensions.More particularly, described catalyst carrier 28 by with one flat plate 29 and corrugated board 30 overlapped together and spirality its winding is made, described each piece plate all is to be made by stainless steel.The catalyzer (not shown) is supported by catalyst carrier 28.
Described catalyst carrier 28 is placed in the casing 31, and this casing is particularly made by stainless steel by making with the material identical materials of making catalyst carrier 28.More particularly, catalyzer casing 31 is shaped as the cylindrical shape longer than the shape of catalyst carrier 28.This catalyst carrier 28 is engaged in the casing 31, and its two ends are from the inward at both ends setting of casing 31.In a kind of like this mated condition, described catalyst carrier 28 is soldered on the described catalyzer casing.Catalyzer casing 31 is arranged in the column part 25 with one heart, and its end along its length puts in the described cone 26, and this casing 31 is supported in the described column part 25 by a supporting element 32.
Described supporting element 32 comprises a support cylinder body 32a, a flange 32b and an installation cylindrical body 32c, they each other integral body form.But be installed in the part of this catalyzer casing 31 to support cylinder body 32a slide relative, it extends to middle from an end of casing along its length.Flange portion 32b stretches out from the other end radially outward of described support cylinder body 32a.Cylindrical body 32c is installed to be extended to the outer periphery of described flange 32b and is mounted the internal surface that is engaged in described column part 25.Described supporting element 32 is generally made by stainless steel by making with the material identical materials of making catalyst carrier 28 and catalyzer casing 31.
The end of support cylinder body 32a is welded on an end of described catalyzer casing 31 regularly.In this case, be welded to an end of the catalyzer casing 31 that stretches out from an end of catalyst carrier 28, be applied to the thermal effect on the catalyzer that supports by catalyst carrier 28 in the time of will avoiding welding as far as possible by a end with support cylinder body 32a.The outer periphery that described installation cylindrical body 32c is flange 32b is welded on the internal surface of the column part 25 of described cylindrical shell 24 regularly.
In addition, if the temperature of waste gas is high relatively, then may need the fixedly welding portion between an end of the end of support cylinder body 32a and catalyzer casing 31 is arranged on as described upstream side in the present embodiment; , if the temperature of waste gas is low relatively, especially, the activation temperature of a little higher than described catalyzer then may need described fixedly welding portion is arranged on the downstream side.More particularly, when along with the startup of engine E from engine E exhaust gas discharged from upstream side during to downstream side inflow catalyst carrier 28, the catalytic reaction that produces when reaching its activation temperature by temperature when catalyzer, the temperature sequence ground of catalyst carrier 28 raises from upstream side, and the temperature of described thus catalyzer casing 31 raises in proper order from described upstream extremity.In this case, be welded to the upstream extremity of catalyzer casing 31 regularly by a end with the support cylinder body 32a of supporting element 32, just can prevent this fixedly welding portion bear the overstress that produces owing to different thermal expansions.So under the high relatively situation of exhaust gas temperature, the end of support cylinder body 32a is welded on the upstream extremity of described catalyzer casing 31 regularly.On the other hand, because 24 through supporting element 32 generation heat transmission from catalyzer casing 31 to cylindrical shell, if so when low relatively in exhaust gas temperature, particularly under the situation of the activation temperature of a little higher than catalyzer, and when the end of support cylinder body 32a is welded to the upstream extremity of catalyzer casing 31 regularly, the rising of this catalyst temperature thus, has postponed the beginning of catalytic reaction owing to the heat transmission to cylindrical shell 24 is delayed through supporting element 32 from catalyzer casing 31.So, under the low relatively situation of exhaust gas temperature, wish the end of described support cylinder body 32a fixedly is welded to the downstream of catalyzer casing 31.
Smaller diameter end at the tapered segment 26 of cylindrical shell 24 provides a lid 33.A connecting tube 34 covers the 33 coaxial smaller diameter end that are connected tapered segment 26 by this.The downstream of outlet pipe 21 and described 34 coaxial connections of connecting tube.
Lid 33 is shaped as the stepped cylinder that has a small diameter cylinders body 33a.This covers 33 coaxial and be welded on the smaller diameter end of described tapered segment 26 regularly, and its small diameter cylinders body 33a is protruding from this tapered segment 26.
Connecting tube 34 comprises in an outer tube 35 and one manages 36.Interior pipe 36 inserts outer tubes 35, and its two ends are protruding from the two ends of described outer tube 35, and pipe 36 is welded on the described outer tube 35 regularly in this.The downstream of connecting tube 34, the downstream of pipe 36 is passed and is covered 33 small diameter cylinders body 33a promptly, and be inserted into described cylindrical shell 24 interior positions from the smaller diameter end of tapered segment 26, downstream at the described connecting tube 34 in this position is relative with the upstream extremity of catalyst carrier 28, and leaves a L at interval between them.In this state, the intermediate portion of described outer tube 35 is welded on the described lid 33 regularly.
The outside diameter of interior pipe 36 is arranged in the described outlet pipe 21 with certain length of thread engagement.The upstream extremity of interior pipe 36 is engaged in the downstream of described outlet pipe 21, and the downstream of outlet pipe 21 is welded to the upstream extremity of described outer tube 35 regularly.
In this state, the inside diameter D 1 of interior pipe 36 promptly is set to littler than the inside diameter D 2 of outlet pipe 21 at the connecting tube 34 of downstream one side (in the present embodiment on whole length) at least.As a result, before the waste gas of outlet pipe 21 is in being led to cylindrical shell 24, be limited in the connecting tube 34.
Because the downstream of connecting tube 34 is limited at least as mentioned above, so waste gas flows to the core of catalyst carrier 28 from connecting tube 34.As a result, the temperature by the catalyzer of the core of catalyst carrier 28 carrying can be raise rapidly along with the startup of engine E.Fig. 5 represents that the catalyst temperature of core of catalyst carrier 28 is along with the change curve of the variation of ratio (D2-D1)/D2.When ratio (D2-D1)/D2 less than 0.05 the time, can not realize that the concentrated area is directed to the effect of catalyst carrier 28 cores with exhaust flow, the result is sufficient in the rising of the central part office of catalyst carrier 28 catalyst temperature.Meanwhile, when ratio (D2-D1)/D2 greater than 0.4 the time, waste gas too is limited and has reduced exhausted air quantity thus, also is inadequate in the rising of the central part office of catalyst carrier 28 catalyst temperature.So, ratio (D2-D1)/D2 is arranged on scope 0.05≤(D2-D1)/D2≤0.4th, desirable.
With regard to the interval L between the upstream extremity of the downstream of connecting tube 34 above-mentioned and catalyst carrier 28, if L is too short at interval, the local metamorphism of catalyzer then can appear, if at interval L is too big, just can not realize the effect of the rapid rising of the catalyst temperature that carries along with the central part office that is enabled in catalyst carrier 28 of engine E.From practical point of view, described interval L can be set in the scope of 0.5 * D1 to 5 * D1, is preferably disposed in the scope of 0.5 * D1 to 3 * D1.
See Fig. 2 again, silencing apparatus 23 is to be divided into first expansion chamber 37, second expansion chamber 38, the 4th expansion chamber 40 and the 3rd expansion chamber 39 by the inside with cylindrical shell 24 to be formed, and described these chambers axially are provided with from described upstream extremity with this order.The position of first expansion chamber 37 between the flange 32b of cylindrical shell 24 female cone parts 26 and supporting element 32 forms by this way, that is, and and in the upstream face of catalyst carrier 28 mode to first expansion chamber 37.
A cylindrical body 41 is inserted into the latter half part in downstream side of the column part 25 of described cylindrical shell 24, and between the internal surface of described cylindrical body 41 and column part 25, is provided with a little gap.The many protruding 41a that provides at the upstream extremity of cylindrical body 41 and be welded on the internal surface of described column part 25 at the many protruding 41b that the downstream of cylindrical body 41 provides regularly.
Second expansion chamber 38 position between partition wall 42 and supporting element 32 in described cylindrical shell 24 forms.The outer periphery of this partition wall 42 is fixed to the internal surface of an approximate center part of cylindrical body 41 by this way,, is divided into the mode of upstream portion and downstream part with the inside with described cylindrical body 41 that is.The downstream of catalyst carrier 28 is facing to second expansion chamber 38.The flange portion 32b of supporting element 32 separates described first and second expansion chamber 37 and 38 each other as a partition wall.
A partition wall 43 and the position described end wall 27 between of the 3rd expansion chamber 39 in described cylindrical shell 24 forms.The outer periphery of partition wall 43 is fixed on the internal surface near the downstream end position of described cylindrical body 41.Form on the position between the partition wall 42 and 43 of the 4th expansion chamber 40 in described cylindrical shell 24.
By a pair of connecting tube 44, the described second and the 3rd expansion chamber 38 and 39 is interconnected, and the two ends of these connecting tube 44 are supported by partition wall 42 and 43.By a pair of connecting tube 45 of being supported by partition wall 43, described third and fourth expansion chamber 39 and 40 is interconnected.An independent discharge pipe 46 is fixed on described partition wall 43 and the end wall 27, and passes the core of this partition wall 43 and end wall 27 simultaneously, and the upstream extremity of described discharge pipe 46 opens wide towards the 4th expansion chamber 40, and its downstream is opened wide towards the outside.Waste gas finally gives off from discharge pipe 46.
The effect of present embodiment will be described below.Being connected to outlet pipe 21 is used for smaller diameter end from the downstream of the connecting tube 34 of engine E exhaust gas routing from the tapered segment 26 of cylindrical shell 24 and protrudes out a position in the cylindrical shell 24, face toward the upstream extremity of catalyst carrier 28 in the downstream of this connecting tube 34 of this position, and leave certain interval between them.So, even the distance between engine E and the catalyst carrier is as far as possible little, so that the temperature of catalyzer is elevated to its activation temperature rapidly, also can under the situation of the unlimited angle that does not strengthen tapered segment 26, eliminate needs to the axial distance that shortens outlet pipe 21 and connecting tube 34.The result, in the low speed rotation scope of engine E, can prevent reducing of output torque, and also can be by making that the volume (i.e. the volume of first expansion chamber 37) of tapered segment 26 is bigger and when engine E high load is worked, utilizing first expansion chamber 37 to prevent damage to the flowing resistance of catalyst carrier 28 as a buffer cell.
Because the inside diameter D 1 of the downstream of connecting tube 34 is configured to the inside diameter D 2 less than outlet pipe 21 at least, so waste gas flows to the core of catalyst carrier 28 from connecting tube 34.As a result, the temperature of catalyzer that is carried on the core of catalyst carrier 28 can be elevated to its activation temperature rapidly along with the startup of engine E.
The cylinder shape catalyst casing 31 that holds the catalyst carrier 28 that is loaded with catalyzer is arranged in the column part 25 of cylindrical shell 24 coaxially, and be supported in this column part 25 by a supporting element 32, wherein, but supporting element 32 is engaged in the support cylinder body 32a on the part of catalyzer casing 31 with comprising slide relative, in the middle of this cylindrical body extends to it from an end of casing along its length, and the end of this support cylinder body 32a is fixed to an end of described catalyzer casing 31, this supporting element 32 also comprises a flange 32b, this flange outwards protrudes out from the other end of described support cylinder body 32a, and makes its outer periphery (being installation cylindrical body 32c in the present embodiment) be fixed to the internal surface of described column part 25.As a result, just this catalyzer casing 31 can be supported in the column part 25 of casing 24 distortion that allows this catalyzer casing 31 to cause simultaneously by an independent supporting element 32 owing to its thermal expansion.Further, because the simple shape of supporting element 32, so, can reduce the quantity that needs support the parts of described catalyzer casing 31, can reduce manufacture cost thus.
Owing to be fixed on the column part 25 of cylindrical shell 24 from the outer periphery of the outward extending flange 32b of the other end of support cylinder body 32a in the position of going up along its length, so supporting element 32 is fixed on the described column part 25 at the position of centre of gravity near catalyst carrier 28 and catalyzer casing 31 corresponding to an intermediate portion of catalyzer casing 31.As a result, can eliminate at least vibration owing to catalyst carrier 28 and catalyzer casing 31 and be applied to stress influence on the described supporting element 32.
Owing in one type of prior art syringe, adopt many supporting elements at the column part 25 of cylindrical shell 24 and the heat transfer regions of the transmission of the heat between the catalyzer casing 31 passage, so, can prevent that catalyzer is subjected to the influence of external temperature, especially, can more effectively be prevented to be subjected to the influence of external temperature by the part of the catalyzer of the part (not being coupled to the part of the support cylinder body 32a of described supporting element 32) of catalyzer casing 31 carrying.As a result, further rugged catalyst temperature.
Because silencing apparatus 23 is to form by vertically the inside of cylindrical shell 24 being divided into many expansion chamber 37-40, and right second expansion chamber 38 of right first expansion chamber 37 of the upstream face of described catalyst carrier 28 and the downstream end face of this catalyst carrier 28 separates by the flange 32b of supporting element 32, so, by described cylindrical shell 24 is used on exhaust gas pollution controller 22 and the silencing apparatus 23 jointly, this exhaust gas pollution controller 22 has constituted the part of this silencing apparatus 23.As a result, can reduce the quantity of silencing apparatus 23 parts and the volume and weight of minimizing silencing apparatus 23.
Although described one embodiment of the present of invention in detail, the present invention is not limited to this, is understood that under the prerequisite that does not exceed claim protection domain of the present invention, can carry out various modifications to design of the present invention.
For example, although exhaust gas pollution controller 22 and silencing apparatus 23 are integral in a common cylindrical shell 24 in the above-described embodiments each other, can apply the present invention to separate on the exhaust gas pollution controller that provides with silencing apparatus 23.
For example, can omit the installation cylindrical body 32c of supporting element 32, and the outer periphery of flange 32b is fixed directly to the internal surface of the column part 25 of cylindrical shell 24; Although catalyst carrier 28 is welded direct on the catalyzer casing 31 of the foregoing description, also can fixes by a mesh portion this catalyst carrier 28 is installed by described catalyzer casing 31.
As mentioned above, according to scheme 1 described the present invention, even make the distance between engine and the catalyst carrier short as far as possible so that the temperature of catalyzer is elevated to its activation temperature rapidly, also can under the situation that does not increase the unlimited angle of tapered segment, eliminate shortening the needs of distance between outlet pipe and the connecting tube vertically, thereby prevent from the low speed rotation scope of engine, to reduce the output torque of engine, also by the volume of tapered segment being made bigger and when the engine high load is worked, being utilized this tapered segment to prevent destruction to the catalyst carrier flowing resistance as buffer cell.
According to as scheme 2 described the present invention, along with the startup of engine can be elevated to its activation temperature rapidly with the catalyst temperature of catalyst carrier central part office carrying.
As mentioned above, according to scheme 3 described the present invention, can the catalyzer casing be supported in the column part of cylindrical shell by single supporting element, the distortion that allows this catalyzer casing to cause simultaneously owing to its thermal expansion, thus reduce number of components and reduce fabricating cost.Because described supporting element is fixed in the column part position near the catalyst carrier and the catalyst tank body weight heart, so, can eliminate at least vibration owing to catalyst carrier and catalyzer casing and be applied to stress influence on the described supporting element.Further, can prevent that catalyzer is subjected to the influence of external temperature, especially, can more effectively be prevented to be subjected to the influence of external temperature by the part of the catalyzer of the part (not being coupled to the part of the support cylinder body of described supporting element) of catalyzer casing carrying.As a result, further rugged catalyst temperature.
According to scheme 4 described the present invention, can reduce the quantity of silencer component and reduce the size and the weight of silencing apparatus.
