Definitions
- the invention relates to an exhaust manifold with a flange for its attachment to an engine block and with exhaust pipes leading away from the flange.
- Exhaust manifolds of this type are currently usually manufactured as castings.
- the flange with the aid of which the exhaust manifold is screwed onto the engine block, poses the greatest problems, since the flange must be screwed onto the engine block in a gas-tight manner.
- the requirements of modern engine construction prescribe certain flange shapes and thicknesses, which mean a high financial outlay when manufactured using cast iron.
- the castings require post-processing, which is expensive, particularly in the case of complicated shapes
- the invention has for its object to develop an exhaust manifold of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be produced with considerable cost savings and still enables the most complicated flange shapes.
- the invention proposes an exhaust manifold, in which the lamellar flange is constructed from at least two interconnected or connectable boards which have an exhaust opening for each exhaust pipe, in the area of which a pipe socket is fastened to the flange.
- the boards are extremely easy to produce as stamped parts, and the most complicated shapes are possible. Due to the structure of several blanks, any desired thickness and strength can be achieved, the post-processing, if such is still necessary, is extremely simple.
- the pipe socket which is present in the area of the exhaust openings, makes it possible to also manufacture the actual exhaust pipes from pipe material and to weld them to the pipe socket. This in turn makes it possible to make the exhaust pipes themselves thinner than was possible with cast material.
- the thinner, yet firm and stable exhaust pipes have the advantage of lower heat capacity, which is particularly advantageous in connection with the catalytic converters. These must have a certain minimum temperature in order to work correctly, the measures of the invention ensuring that not too much heat is absorbed by the catalytic converters through the exhaust pipes in the cold start phase.
- the invention proposes that the blanks be welded to one another, resistance welding, in particular projection welding, having proven to be particularly favorable.
- the inner circuit boards can have one or more welding pins which project in the direction of the outer circuit boards and therefore form the contact point in the case of electrical resistance welding.
- the boards are soldered to one another.
- the boards can be soldered under protective gas, a pure copper being used as the solder.
- a pure copper being used as the solder.
- the exhaust pipes can be welded to each other after soldering the boards.
- the inner boards have openings for the insertion of copper, which then melts in the vacuum furnace during the soldering.
- the invention provides that the pipe socket is also soldered to the flange formed by the circuit boards.
- the pipe socket can be soldered into the exhaust opening of the circuit boards. It can be provided here that the outside of the pipe socket is connected, in particular soldered, to the inside of the exhaust opening of at least one circuit board. This soldering process can also take place when the circuit boards are connected to one another in the soldering furnace.
- the exhaust pipes are then welded to the pipe socket. Therefore, according to the proposal of the invention, the exhaust pipes in the area of the manifold are no longer made of cast iron, but of bent pipe, which makes it possible to keep their wall thickness smaller, despite great stability, than was possible with cast iron.
- the outer i.e. the circuit board facing away from the engine block has a curved edge surrounding its exhaust opening, which forms the pipe socket.
- a process step namely the soldering of the pipe socket, is saved.
- the exhaust pipes can be welded directly onto the bent edge forming the pipe socket.
- the edge is formed by deep drawing. It is also advantageously possible for the edge to be punched through when the board is manufactured
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a Ptatine 11 to form a flange of an exhaust manifold.
- the circuit board contains two exhaust openings 12 which, when the exhaust flange is attached to an engine block, are in line with the corresponding exhaust openings of the engine block.
- For fastening the circuit board 11 to the engine block there are several holes 13 with which the flange can be screwed onto the engine block.
- the circuit board 11 contains several small holes 14 in the area of the edge of the exhaust openings 1 2, which holes are intended to receive solder, for example solder copper.
- Fig. 2 shows the structure of an exhaust flange 15 from several boards. A total of four boards are provided to form the flange 15.
- the two inner boards 11, 15 are constructed identically and have the shape shown in FIG. 1 . They have matching openings 13 for the passage of a screw and matching holes 14 for inserting the solder copper.
- the connection of the boards can also be carried out by resistance welding, for which purpose the two boards 11, 15 have a welding pin 16 which is inserted into openings in the boards 11, 15 and upwards and protrudes like a cone below. When the outer boards 17, 18, which are under tension, are pressed, resistance welding then takes place.
- the circuit board 18 arranged in the direction of the engine block does not contain any holes 14 for solder, but again a hole 13 for fastening.
- the exhaust opening 19, which is in line with the exhaust openings 12 of the other boards, has a smaller area.
- a pipe socket 20 which is only shown broken off, is inserted, which is soldered to the inner walls of the exhaust openings 12. With its end face 21, the pipe socket 20 is soldered onto the upper side 22 of the motor-side circuit board 18. Accordingly, the exhaust opening 19 of the engine-side board 18 is offset inwards by the wall thickness of the pipe socket 20.
- the individual boards are moved towards each other so that they lie close together and soldered to each other in this position, with the help of the soldering copper arranged in the holes, or welded, with the help of the welding pin 16.
- the pronounced hump 16 can also be used.
- Fig. 3 shows a modified embodiment.
- the flange 23 consists of four individual boards, of which the outer board 24 has a punched-out edge 25 surrounding its exhaust opening.
- the edge 25 has the shape of an approximately tubular, short extension.
- An only schematically illustrated exhaust pipe 26 is inserted into the inside of this edge 25 and can be soldered or welded to the inside of the edge 25.
- a separate pipe socket 20 is unnecessary, since the edge 25 forms the pipe socket.
- the exhaust port 28 of the engine side board 27 has the same shape and size as the exhaust ports of the other boards.
- a manifold pipe could also be inserted and fastened in the pipe socket 20 shown in FIG. 2, as is shown and described in FIG. 3 with regard to the exhaust pipe 26.
