Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by making it possible to modify the acoustic diagram of the silencer as a function of the engine speed.
  • This invention indeed relates to a device for modulating the gas flow inside an exhaust silencer comprising, in a closed envelope, at least two perforated tubes traversed in series by the exhaust gas and an open resonator, which comprises in the resonator an orifice provided with a valve for adjusting its passage section, which is controlled by the flow of exhaust gas, that is to say by the engine speed.
  • the valve adjusts the passage section of an orifice for placing the resonator in communication with a chamber of the silencer.
  • the flow of gas leaving the resonator and entering the muffler chamber is thus automatically modified according to the flow of exhaust gas. It is all the more important that the gas flow is important, that is to say that the engine speed is high.
  • the valve control can be obtained from various parameters of the exhaust gas flow, for example from the pressure or the temperature inside the resonator or from the speed of the output flow of the silencer.
  • the valve adjusts an orifice for placing the resonator in communication with an inlet or pressure tapping tube, as a function of the outlet speed of the exhaust flow.
  • the muffler shown is of the resonator type and consequently comprises an envelope 1 closed at each of its ends by a cup 2 and divided by a number of interior cups 3 into a number of chambers, for example chambers 4, 5 and 6 represented.
  • Several tubes 8, 9 and 10 are mounted parallel to each other in the casing 1 and communicate with each other both by their perforations and by chambers such as chamber 5 into which two of them open.
  • the chamber 6 also communicates with the chamber 5 via a pressure take-off tube 12 and thus constitutes a resonator.
  • a flexible valve 16 is fixed on the partition 3 to the right of the orifice 14 and tends at all times to apply on the edge of this orifice, so as to close it.
  • the valve 16 opens gradually. It then clears a passage whose cross section depends on the pressure inside the resonator 6.
  • the movement of the valve 16 and the variation in section of the orifice 14 modify the operation of the resonator and adapt the acoustic attenuation obtained to the flow of gas flowing, that is to say to the engine speed.
  • the slowing of the flow caused by the reduction in section of the orifice 14 or even the closing of this orifice eliminates any phenomenon of aspiration in the inlet tube 8 towards the motor and, consequently, reduces considerably the risk of fuel entering the muffler.
  • the valve for adjusting the section of the orifice 14 can be controlled by another parameter of the flow of exhaust gas.
  • the silencer may include a guided valve 18 carried by a rod 20 which passes through the orifice 14 and is integral with an expandable strip 22 sensitive to the temperature prevailing in the resonator 6.
  • the strip expansion 22 is preferably supported on the closing cup 2 of the silencer, so that during expansion it pushes the rod 20 towards the chamber 5 and separates the valve 18 from the orifice 14.
  • the position of the guided valve 18 relative to the partition 3 determines the area of the fluid passage section through the orifice 14 and depends on the expansion of the strip 22 which depends on the engine speed, since the variation of the gas temperature in the resonator is proportional to the variation of this regime.
  • the outlet 14 of the resonator 6 is adjusted by means of a butterfly-type shutter 24 pivoting about an axis 25 and controlled by the flow of gas in the outlet tube 10 of the silencer .
  • the butterfly 24 is connected, by means of a link 26 articulated at its two ends, to a sliding rod 28 fixed to the membrane 30 of a manometric capsule.
  • a tube 32 of small diameter connects the manometric capsule to the outlet tube of the silencer, so that the membrane 30 is subjected to the difference between the pressures prevailing in the resonator and in the thin tube 32.
  • the gas flow s' flowing in the outlet tube 10 creates a depression in the tube 32 which is proportional to the flow rate inside the tube 10, so that the position of the membrane 30 varies at the same time as the flow of exhaust gas at the interior of the silencer and in particular in the outlet tube 10, that is to say with the engine speed.
  • the tube 10 comprises near its outlet end a constriction 34 constituted by a local deformation of its wall or internal boss 35 and the narrow dip tube 32 opens into this constriction.
  • the exhaust gases exiting through the tube 10 are thus accelerated by the throttle 34, so that they create an increased vacuum in the tube 32 and facilitate the action of the membrane 30 on the butterfly valve 24.
  • the outlet port 14 of the resonator has a passage section which varies with the engine speed.
  • the butterfly valve 24 in effect gradually opens this orifice under the action of the vacuum created in the tube 32, that is to say as the flow of gas flowing through the tube 10 increases.
  • the butterfly valve 24 tends to close the orifice 14.
  • the orifice 14 can be an orifice for communicating the chamber of the resonator 6 with the chamber 5, but it can also, according to an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 3, allow the chamber of the resonator 6 with an intermediate chamber 36, a tube 38 preferably being mounted in the orifice 14 and opening into the chamber 36 which communicates with the chamber 5 through an orifice 40 and thus constitutes a second open resonator.
  • the flow modulation device modifies the acoustic attenuation characteristics of the muffler as a function of the engine speed.
  • An orifice 42 is then preferably provided in the pressure take-off tube 12 of the resonator 6 inside the latter.
  • a flap 44 pivoting on an axis 45 can move in front of the tube 12 and more or less completely close the orifice 42 under the action of a pressure capsule 46 to the membrane 48 of which it is connected by a sliding rod 50.
  • the membrane 48 is subjected to the vacuum prevailing in a narrow tube 52 which opens into the exhaust gas outlet tube 10, in line with a throttle 54.
  • the throttle 54 is preferably achieved by a local deformation 55 of the wall of the tube 10.
  • this constriction 54 causes an acceleration of the output flow of the silencer and, consequently, increases the vacuum in the tube 52 and the deformation of the membrane 48.
  • the flap 44 gradually releases the orifice 42 as the gas velocity increases in the tube 10 and, on the contrary, gradually closes this orifice when this speed decreases, that is - say that the engine speed is reduced.
  • the opening of the orifice 42 has the same effect as a shortening of the length of the pressure tapping tube 12 of the resonator and, consequently, modifies the frequency of the gas inside this resonator and allows the silencer to '' be constantly adapted to the engine speed.
