Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux chambres d'atténuation du son engendré par les gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne, que ce soient des silencieux à garnissage d'atténuation du son constitué d'un ensemble de chicanage avec ou sans matières fibreuses ou que ce soient des résonateurs non garnis. Dans le premier cas, les gaz pé­nètrent dans la chambre par un tube d'entrée et, en ressor­tent par un tube de sortie, dont les positions peuvent être très diverses sur l'enveloppe constituant la chambre. Dans le second cas, il n'est prévu qu'un tube d'entrée.The present invention relates to sound attenuation chambers generated by the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, whether they are mufflers with sound attenuation lining consisting of a baffling assembly with or without materials fibrous or that they are unfilled resonators. In the first case, the gases enter the chamber through an inlet tube and exit from it through an outlet tube, the positions of which can be very diverse on the envelope constituting the chamber. In the second case, only one inlet tube is provided.

Une chambre d'atténuation du bruit est délimitée par une enveloppe, souvent de forme tubulaire. L'une au moins des faces frontales est fermée par un fond qui y est retenu par une fixation, notamment par un bourrelet de sertissage comportant deux replis successifs à 180°. La technique du sertissage offre l'avantage d'une grande simplicité de fabrication, tout en donnant une étanchéité satisfaisante à la différence d'un simple emboîtage comme décrit au U.S.A.-­2950777 et au FR-2335696. Mais elle peut présenter un inconvénient. Des explosions dues aux gaz d'échappement se produisent dans la chambre d'atténuation du son. Elles appliquent aux fonds des forces de pression qui ont tendance à les détacher de l'enveloppe ou du moins à porter atteinte à l'étanchéité. Il serait souhaitable d'augmenter la résistance à l'arrachement des fonds, sans cependant augmenter les épaisseurs de tôle, tant pour des raisons de poids et de vo­lume utile du silencieux que de consommation de matière, ni non plus l'encombrement radial.A noise reduction chamber is delimited by an envelope, often of tubular shape. At least one of the front faces is closed by a bottom which is retained there by a fixing, in particular by a crimping bead comprising two successive folds at 180 °. The crimping technique offers the advantage of great simplicity of manufacture, while giving a satisfactory seal unlike a simple casing as described in USA-2950777 and FR-2335696. But it can have a drawback. Explosions due to exhaust gases occur in the sound attenuation chamber. They apply pressure forces to the bottoms which tend to detach them from the casing or at least to damage the seal. It would be desirable to increase the resistance when tearing off the bottoms, without however increasing the sheet thicknesses, as much for reasons of weight and useful volume of the silencer as for material consumption, nor for the radial bulk.

L'invention y pourvoit par le fait que la partie de l'enveloppe, qui sort du bourrelet de sertissage et qui en est donc immédiatement adjacente, converge vers le fond.The invention provides for this by the fact that the part of the envelope, which leaves the crimping bead and which is therefore immediately adjacent thereto, converges towards the bottom.

Ce simple rabattement a l'effet surprenant d'augmenter, toutes choses égales d'ailleurs, la résistance à l'arrachement du fond de 30% environ, telle qu'elle peut être déterminée par les tests classiques d'explosion et d'arrachement des constructeurs d'automobiles.This simple folding down has the surprising effect of increasing, all other things being equal, the resistance to tearing out of the bottom by about 30%, as can be determined by conventional explosion and tearing tests. automakers.

De préférence, la longueur et/ou l'angle de conver­gence, qui est avantageusement de 15 à 35°, sont tels que le contour du bourrelet de fixation est inscrit dans le contour extérieur de l'enveloppe. Cet angle est celui fait par une génératrice de la partie convergente et la génératrice cor­respondante de la partie non convergente de l'enveloppe.Preferably, the length and / or the angle of convergence, which is advantageously from 15 to 35 °, are such that the outline of the fixing bead is inscribed in the outside outline of the envelope. This angle is that made by a generator of the converging part and the corresponding generator of the non-converging part of the envelope.

Au dessin annexé, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'un silencieux suivant l'invention;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la figure;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'un résonateur d'Helmoltz suivant l'invention, et
  • La figure 4 est une vue à plus grande échelle de la partie A des figures 1 et 3.
In the attached drawing, given solely by way of example:
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of a silencer according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II-II of the figure;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a Helmoltz resonator according to the invention, and
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of part A of FIGS. 1 and 3.

Le silencieux dessiné aux figures 1 et 2 comprend une enveloppe 1 en tôle de section droite ovale. Un ensemble de chicanage 2 est logé dans l'enveloppe 1. L'enveloppe 1 est formée par deux fonds 3 en tôle de retenue à l'enveloppe par un sertissage qui sera décrit d'une manière plus détaillée en se référant à la figure 4. Les gaz d'échappement pénètrent dans l'enveloppe 1 par une entrée 5 et en ressortent par une sortie 6.The silencer drawn in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a casing 1 made of sheet metal with an oval cross section. A baffling assembly 2 is housed in the casing 1. The casing 1 is formed by two bottoms 3 made of sheet metal retaining the casing by a crimping which will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 The exhaust gases enter the envelope 1 through an inlet 5 and exit therefrom through a exit 6.

Le résonateur d'Helmoltz de la figure 3 comporte une enveloppe 1 en tôle fermée par deux fonds 3 retenus par un bourrelet de sertissage 4. Une entrée 5 permet au flux de gaz passant dans un conduit 7 d'être en communication avec la cavité du résonateur.The Helmoltz resonator of FIG. 3 comprises a sheet metal casing 1 closed by two bottoms 3 retained by a crimping bead 4. An inlet 5 allows the flow of gas passing through a conduit 7 to be in communication with the cavity of the resonator.

Le bourrelet de sertissage 4 est obtenu en repliant une partie d'extrémité convexe de l'enveloppe 1 ensemble avec le pourtour du fond 3, comme représenté à la figure 4. Un premier tronçon 8 fait un angle de 25° avec l'axe du silencieux et est recourbé à 180° vers l'extérieur en un coude 9, puis se termine par un tronçon 10 sensiblement parallèle au tronçon 8. Le tronçon 8 et le tronçon 10 enserrent un tronçon d'extrémité 11 du pourtour du fond 3. Le tronçon 11 se prolonge par un coude 12 à 180° environ en un tronçon intermédiaire 13 parallèle au tronçon 10. Le tronçon 11 et le tronçon 13 enserrent le tronçon 10. La face la plus à l'extérieur du tronçon 13 et du coude 12 est dans le prolongement de la partie non convergente de l'enveloppe 1. Le tronçon 13 se poursuit par un tronçon incurvé 14, puis par un tronçon 15 parallèle au tronçon 8. Le tronçon 15 et le tronçon 11 enserrent le tronçon 8. Le tronçon 15 est raccordé à un tronçon 16 perpendiculaire à l'axe de l'enveloppe 1 par un coude 17. Le tronçon 16 se raccorde par un congé 18 à la partie principale 19 du fond 3. Le tronçon 16 est plus près du fond opposé de l'enveloppe 1 que la partie principale 19.The crimping bead 4 is obtained by folding a convex end portion of the casing 1 together with the periphery of the bottom 3, as shown in FIG. 4. A first section 8 makes an angle of 25 ° with the axis of the silent and is bent 180 ° outwards in a bend 9, then ends in a section 10 substantially parallel to the section 8. The section 8 and the section 10 enclose an end section 11 of the periphery of the bottom 3. The section 11 is extended by a bend 12 at 180 ° approximately in an intermediate section 13 parallel to section 10. Section 11 and section 13 enclose section 10. The outermost face of section 13 and elbow 12 is in the extension of the non-convergent part of the envelope 1. The section 13 continues with a curved section 14, then by a section 15 parallel to the section 8. The section 15 and the section 11 enclose the section 8. The section 15 is connected to a section 16 perpen dicular to the axis of the casing 1 by a bend 17. The section 16 is connected by a fillet 18 to the main part 19 of the bottom 3. The section 16 is closer to the opposite bottom of the casing 1 than the part main 19.
