Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exhaust gas purifying device mounted to an engine unit of, for example, a motorcycle.
- an exhaust gas purifying device in which the exhaust gas is purified by carrying out oxidation reaction utilizing catalyst contact reaction between unburnt constituents such as and/or harmful constituents such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon contained in the exhaust gas and a catalyst.
- the catalyst is utilized for increasing temperature of an engine exhaust gas to carry out the oxidation reaction.
- the exhaust gas is purified by the contact of the exhaust gas to the catalyst disposed in a muffler connected to an exhasut gas tube.
- the muffler of the motorcycle generally comprises an exhaust pipe section and a muffler section and is provided with a plate member to which a catalyst is applied.
- the plate member comprises two plates bent in an arcuate manner adjacently to the inner wall of a muffler body and the plates are mounted to the inner wall surface of the muffler body keeping a clearance of 1 to 5 mm with respect to the inner wall surface so that the exhaust gas flowing through the muffler can be brought into contact with the catalyst applied to the plate member.
- the plates with the catalyst are disposed cylindrically in an assembled state along the inner wall surface of the muffler body adjacently to the inner wall surface thereof and a portion of the exhaust gas to be brought into contact with the catalyst of the plate member has a relatively low temperature in the surrounding portion of a tubular passage. Therefore, it takes much time to increase the temperature to start the catalytic reaction, hence resulting in degradation of an exhaust gas purification performance.
- a surface temperature of the muffler body increases high because the plates with catalyst are disposed near the surface of the muffler body.
- An object of the present invention is to substantially eliminate defects or drawbacks encountered in the prior art described above and to provide an exhaust gas purifying device capable of improving a catalytic reaction between the engine exhaust gas and the device to enhance the exhaust gas purifying performance and reducing thermal influence on a muffler as well as improving an engine power.
- an exhaust gas purifying device in which an exhaust gas from an exhasut port of an engine is purified by a member provided with a catalyst disposed in a cylindrical muffler provided with an exhaust pipe section connected to the engine exhaust gas port, the device being characterized in that a catalyst plate means to which a catalyst is applied is disposed so as to extend throughout a longitudinal direction of the exhaust pipe section at substantially a diametrically central portion in cross section of the exhaust pipe section.
- the catalyst plate means including at least one plate member of a sandwich structure comprising a central plate and catalyst layers disposed on both side surfaces of the central plate, and coating layers may be further disposed between the central plate and the catalyst layers.
- the catalyst plate means is composed of one catalyst plate member and is disposed a diametrical portion of the exhaust pipe section or in the diametrically central portion of the exhaust pipe section within a range of 1/3d to 2/3d, wherein a symbol d designates an inner diameter of the exhasut pipe section, from an inner surface thereof.
- the catalyst plate to which a catalyst is applied is disposed at the diametrically central portion or near of the exhaust gas section of the muffler, and when the exhaust gas flows flom the engine exhaust port into the muffler, a high temperature portion of the exhaust gas contacts the catalyst. Accordingly, the catalytic reaction promptly and positively starts to thereby enhance the exhaust gas purifying performance. Moreover, since the catalyst plate is disposed at substantially the central portion in the muffler, a large distance exsits between it and the inner wall surface of the muffler, so that the increasing of the temperature of the muffler surface can be significantly suppressed, resulting in the improvement of the engine output power.
- Fig. 10 shows a motorcycle of the type to which the present invention is preferably applicable and the motorcycle 1 is equipped with a muffler 2 which is connected to an exhaust pipe connected to an engine exhaust port.
- the muffler 2 of the motorcycle 1 generally comprises an exhaust pipe section 3 and a muffler section 4.
- a silencer 7 is connected to the muffler 2 through an exhaust pipe 6.
- a pair of semi-circular plates 8 and 8 to which catalyst is applied are disposed and the plates 8 and 8 are bent in an arcuate manner adjacently to the inner wall of a muffler body 5.
- the plates 8 are mounted to the inner wall surface of the muffler body 5 keeping a clearance of 1 to 5 mm with respect to the inner wall surface so that the exhaust gas flowing through the muffler 2 can be brought into contact with the catalyst applied to the plates 6 and 6.

- Fig. 2 is a cross section of the exhaust pipe section 11 of the muffler 10 representing an exhaust gas purifying device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- the muffler body 15 of the muffler 10 is formed of a pair of inner and outer halves 15a and 15b, in which the inner body 15a is to be disposed on the side of a mototcycle body and the outer body 15b is to be disposed on the outside.
- the inner and outer muffler bodies 15a and 15b each has a semicircular cross section and constitutes a cylindrical pipe as the muffler body 15 when mated with each other.
- a plate 16 to which a catalyst is applied is disposed in the diameter direction at the central portion of the cross section of the muffler body 15 so that both the side ends of the plate 16 are secured, for example by means of welding, to the joined portions of the inner and outer muffler boies 15a and 15b along the longitucinal directions of the exhaust pipe section 11.
- the plate 16 will be called a catalyst plate 16 hereinlater for the sake of convenience.
- Fig. 3 shows another embodiment according to the present invention, in which the catalyst plate 16 is fixedly secured in the vertical direction, as viewed, in the interior of the inner body 15a side.
- the catalyst plate 16 is disposed at a portion offset from the diameter direction of the muffler body 15 within a range of 1/3d to 2/3d (1/3d ⁇ l ⁇ 2/3d), wherein a symbol d is an inner diameter of the muffler body, and this range will be referred to as a central portion hereinlater offset to the side of the inner wall surface of the inner muffler body 15a in comparison with the location of Fig. 2.
- Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment according to the present invention, in which the catalyst plate 16 is disposed at the central portion similar to that of Fig. 3, but in the embodiment of Fig. 4, the catalyst plate 16 is provided with a supplementary rib portion 16a at an intermediate portion thereof so as to increase the strength of the catalyst plate 16 as well as to enlarge the surface area of the catalyst.
- Fig. 5 shows a still further embodiment according to the present invention, in which the catalyst plate 16 of the type shown in Fig. 3 is mounted to each of the inner and outer bodies 15a and 15b in the central portion of the muffler body 15.
- the catalyst plate 16 of the type shown in Fig. 3 is mounted to each of the inner and outer bodies 15a and 15b in the central portion of the muffler body 15.

- the catalyst plate 16 comprises a punched plate 17 arranged centrally of the sandwich structure, coating layers 18 applied on both the sides of the punched plate 17 and catalyst layers 19 applied to the outer surface of the coating layers 18, which are disposed for the purpose of improving a firm connection of the catalyst layers 19 to the outer surfaces of the punched plate 17.
- the punched plate 17 is utilized for improving the flow of the exhasut gas through punched holes of the plate 17, a blind plate with no holes may be also utilized.
- the punched plate 17 it is desired to form the punched plate 17 with a stainless steel plate and to form the coating layers 18 by flame coating a ceramic material such as white aluminium material in ceramic state.
- a ceramic material such as white aluminium material in ceramic state.
- a catalyst mainly consisting of platinum and rhodium may be preferably utilized.
- the coating layers 18 may be eliminated.
