Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines konischen Wabenkörpers nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und einen konischen Wabenkörper nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 11. Solche Wabenkörper werden insbesondere als Katalysator-Trägerkörper in Abgassystemen von Kraftfahrzeugen mit Verbrennungsmotor eingesetzt.The invention relates to a method for producing a conical honeycomb body according to the preamble of claim 1 and a conical honeycomb body according to the Preamble of claim 11. Such honeycomb bodies are in particular as Catalyst carrier body in exhaust systems of motor vehicles with Internal combustion engine used.

Ein solcher konischer Wabenkörper, mit einer Achse und einem bezüglich dieser konischen Mantelrohr, in das ein nach Art einer Evolvente um die Achse geschlungenes Folienpaket eingepaßt ist, ist beispielsweise aus der EP 0 635 097 B1 bekannt. Der Folienpaketkörper weist eine Vielzahl aufeinandergeschichteter, teilweise strukturierter Blechfolien auf. Jede Blechfolie ist nach Art eines Kreisringsegmentes geformt, so daß sie von einem bezüglich eines Mittelpunktes etwa kreisförmigen äußeren Bogen und einem zu diesem konzentrisch, zwischen diesem und dem Mittelpunkt liegenden etwa kreisförmigen inneren Bogen begrenzt ist. Jede strukturierte Blechfolie hat Wellen. Die Wellung einer Blechfolie weist über das gesamte Blech keine konstante Wellhöhe auf. Die Wellhöhe muß sich ausgehend von einer kleineren Wellhöhe an dem kleineren, die Blechfolie begrenzenden Bogen, zu einer größeren Wellhöhe an dem größeren, die Blechfolie begrenzenden Bogen vergrößern. Hierbei muß das Verhältnis der Wellhöhen etwa dem Verhältnis der Wellen der Bogen entsprechen, damit bei Verschlingung der Blechfolien ein etwa konischer Wabenkorper entsteht.Such a conical honeycomb body, with one axis and one with respect to this conical casing tube, in which an involute-like around the axis looped foil package is, for example, from EP 0 635 097 B1 known. The film package body has a large number of stacked, partially structured sheet metal foils. Each sheet is like one Annular segment shaped so that it is from a with respect to a center approximately circular outer arc and one concentric to this, between this and the center lying approximately circular inner arc limited is. Every structured sheet metal foil has waves. The corrugation of a metal foil has the entire sheet does not have a constant corrugation height. The corrugation height must start out of a smaller corrugation height on the smaller sheet delimiting the sheet metal foil, to a larger corrugation height on the larger sheet-metal sheet enlarge. Here, the ratio of the well heights must be approximately the ratio of Corrugations of the arc correspond, so that when the metal foils are intertwined an conical honeycomb body is created.

Dazu werden die teilweise strukturierten bogenformigen Blechfolien, nach ihrer Schichtung und/oder Wicklung zu einem konischen Folienpaketkörper, welcher für ein Fluid durchströmbare Kanäle aufweist, in ein konisches Mantelrohr mit einer ersten und einer zweiten Stirnöffnung, wobei die erste Stirnöffnung einen großeren Lötprozeß. Die Häufigkeit der Verwendung der Klemmwerkzeuge ist zudem durch die Temperaturen im Lötofen begrenzt.For this purpose, the partially structured sheet metal sheets, according to their Layering and / or winding to a conical film package body, which for a fluid can flow through, in a conical jacket tube with a first and a second front opening, the first front opening having a larger one Soldering process. The frequency of using the clamping tools is also through the temperatures in the soldering furnace are limited.

Schließlich sind aus oben zitierten EP 0 635 097 B1 zur Fixierung eines konischen Folienpaketkörpers Haltestrukturen bekannt, welche an dem konischen Mantelrohr angebracht sind. Die Haltestruktur kann vorzugsweise eine das Mantelrohr vollständig umlaufende Lippe sein, eine solche Lippe kann beispielsweise durch Umbördeln des Mantelrohrs gebildet werden, sie kann aber auch ein angeschweißtes, separates Bauteil sein. Eine andere Möglichkeit für die Haltestruktur ist ein mit dem konischen Mantelrohr stoffschlüssig verbundener, insbesondere verschweißter, die Endfläche überragender Bugel Ein solcher Bügel ist auf der Endfläche zentriert angeordnet, so daß er ihren Mittelpunkt berührt. Ein solchermaßen angeordneter Bügel wirkt sich indes nachteilig, insbesondere auf die Strömungscharakteristik des zu reinigenden Abgases, aus.Finally, EP 0 635 097 B1 cited above for fixing a conical Foil package body holding structures known, which on the conical jacket tube are attached. The holding structure can preferably be the casing tube completely encircling lip, such a lip can, for example, by Flanging the casing tube are formed, but it can also be a welded, separate component. Another way for that The holding structure is a materially connected to the conical jacket tube, in particular a welded bow projecting beyond the end face is such a bow centered on the end face so that it touches its center. On such a bracket has a disadvantageous effect, especially on the Flow characteristics of the exhaust gas to be cleaned.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen konischen Wabenkörper sowie ein Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung anzugeben, wobei mit einer möglichst einfachen Fixierung eines konischen Folienpaketkörpers in einem konischen Mantelrohr eine bessere Herstellbarkeit und/oder Haltbarkeit des konischen Wabenkörpers erzielt werden soll.The invention has for its object a conical honeycomb body and a Specify process for its production, with a simple as possible Fixation of a conical foil package body in a conical jacket tube achieved better manufacturability and / or durability of the conical honeycomb body shall be.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen im Anspruch 1 sowie durch einen konischen Wabenkörper mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 11 gelöst.This object is achieved by a method with the features in Claim 1 and by a conical honeycomb body with the features according to Claim 11 solved.

Dadurch, daß im konischen Mantelrohr beabstandet zu seinen Stirnöffnungen Klemmhilfen angeordnet und so ausgelegt sind, daß sie wenigstens abschnittsweise Ringformen aufweisen. wird die Herstellung des konischen Wabenkörpers vereinfacht, wobei gleichzeitig das spätere Einschweißen in ein Abgassystem erleichtert wird, da die Enden frei von zusätzlichen Einbauten sind. Zusätzlich wird die Haltbarkeit des fertigen Korpers verbessert. Characterized in that in the conical jacket tube spaced from its end openings Clamping aids are arranged and designed so that they at least in sections Have ring shapes. will manufacture the conical honeycomb body simplified, while at the same time later welding into an exhaust system is made easier since the ends are free of additional internals. In addition, the durability of the finished body is improved.

Dazu weist das Mantelrohr in einer ersten Ausführungsform beabstandet zur ersten Stirnöffnung auf seiner Innenseite einen mechanisch fixierbaren Ring oder zumindest mechanisch fixierbare Segmente eines Rings auf, wodurch der konische Wabenkörper insbesondere auch preiswert herstellbar ist.For this purpose, in a first embodiment, the casing tube is spaced apart from the first Forehead opening on the inside of a mechanically fixable ring or at least mechanically fixable segments of a ring, whereby the conical Honeycomb body is particularly inexpensive to manufacture.

Alternativ weist das Mantelrohr beabstandet zur ersten Stirnöffnung eine Einschnürung auf, wodurch, wie auch bei den Lösungen mit einem Ring, eine Art Luftspaltisolierung entsteht, welche dazu führt, daß die Temperatur des Mantelrohres beim Lastbetrieb in einem Kraftfahrzeug nicht zu sehr ansteigt.Alternatively, the jacket tube is spaced apart from the first end opening Constriction, which, like the solutions with a ring, causes a kind Air gap insulation arises, which leads to the fact that the temperature of the casing pipe does not increase too much during load operation in a motor vehicle.

Das Mantelrohr kann auch beabstandet zur ersten Stirnöffnung eine Außensicke aufweisen in der ein vorgespannter Ring reversibel mechanisch oder irreversibel fügetechnisch anordbar ist, wodurch, wie auch bei den anderen Lösungen, die Stirnöffnungen des Mantelrohres frei bleiben und sich gut und leicht mit anderen Komponenten eines Abgassystems verschweißen lassen.The jacket tube can also have an outer bead spaced from the first end opening have a prestressed ring in a reversible mechanical or irreversible manner can be arranged technically, which, like the other solutions, means that Forehead openings of the casing tube remain free and look good and easy with others Have components of an exhaust system welded.

Das Mantelrohr kann auch beabstandet zur ersten Stirnöffnung eine Innensicke aufweisen, wobei nach Einbringung des Folienpaketkörpers in das Mantelrohr eine Axialkraft auf das Mantelrohr ausgeübt wird, wobei sich die Innensicke so verformt, daß der Folienpaketkörper im Mantelrohr fixiert wird. Durch eine zunächst nur relativ flach ausgebildete Innensicke lassen sich auch Folienpaketkörper mit einer insbesondere hohen Vorspannung leicht in das Mantelrohr einbringen und gleichwohl gut fixieren.The jacket tube can also be spaced apart from the first end opening by an inner bead have, wherein after inserting the film package body in the jacket tube Axial force is exerted on the jacket tube, the inner bead deforming so that the film package body is fixed in the jacket tube. By one at first Relatively flat inner beads can also be used with a film package body in particular, easily introduce high prestress into the casing tube and nevertheless fix well.

Eine weitere Lösung sieht vor, daß das Mantelrohr beabstandet zu den Stirnöffnungen einen Außenabsatz in der Axialbreite des Folienpaketkörpers aufweist, womit sich diese Lösung neben einer besseren Einschweißbarkeit, insbesondere durch eine gute mechanische Haltbarkeit im fertigen Zustand des konischen Wabenkorpers auszeichnet. Another solution provides that the jacket tube spaced from the Front openings an external shoulder in the axial width of the film package body what this solution is in addition to better weldability, in particular by good mechanical durability in the finished state of the conical honeycomb body.

Schließlich kann das Mantelrohr und der Folienpaketkörper ein Feder-Nut-System aufweisen, wobei das Mantelrohr beabstandet zu den Stirnöffnungen im Bereich der Axialbreite des Folienpaketkörpers wenigstens eine Außensicke aufweist, und die zumindest teilweise strukturierten bogenförmigen Blechfolien so herstellbar sind, daß seitlich am Folienpaketkörper wenigstens eine den Folienpaketkörper zumindest abschnittsweise umlaufende Rastnase ausgebildet ist. Durch die Fixierung mittels eines Feder-Nut-Systemes ist in vorteilhafter Weise insbesondere ein Durchströmen des Abgases durch den gesamten Querschnitt des konischen Wabenkörpers sowie eine vollständige Weiterleitung des Abgases in einen gegebenenfalls vor- oder nachgeordneten zylindrischen Wabenkörper gewährleistbar.Finally, the casing tube and the film package body can be a tongue and groove system have, the jacket tube spaced from the end openings in the region of Axial width of the film package body has at least one outer bead, and the at least partially structured sheet-metal foils can be produced, that at least one side of the film package body at least one the film package body is formed in sections circumferential locking lug. By fixing with of a tongue-and-groove system is in particular advantageously flowing through of the exhaust gas through the entire cross section of the conical honeycomb body and a complete forwarding of the exhaust gas into a possibly pre-or downstream cylindrical honeycomb body can be guaranteed.

Mit diesen erfindungsgemäß bevorzugten Lösungen läßt sich also ein konischer Folienpaketkorper in einem konischen Mantelrohr einfach und wirkungsvoll fixieren und unter Erhöhung seiner mechanischen Haltbarkeit im fertigen Zustand kostengünstig herstellten.With these preferred solutions according to the invention, a conical one can be created Fix the foil package body easily and effectively in a conical jacket tube and while increasing its mechanical durability in the finished state manufactured inexpensively.

Die Fixierung erfolgt mittels eines beabstandet zur ersten Stirnöffnung und auf der Innenseite 6 des Mantelrohrs 3 mechanisch fixierbaren Ringes 7. Alternativ können auch mechanisch fixierbare Segmente eines Ringes vorgesehen sein. Ein Folienpaketkörper 2 weist nach seiner Schichtung und/oder Wicklung und beim Einpressen in ein Mantelrohr eine gewisse Vorspannung auf. Aufgrund seiner Vorspannung springt der Folienpaketkörper 2 nach dem Einbringen in das konische Mantelrohr 3 hinter den Ring 7 und wird dadurch im Mantelrohr 3 fixiert.Figure 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the invention.

Nach Einbringung wird eine Kraft axial zum konischen Mantelrohr 3 ausgeübt, wobei die Innensicke 11, wie in Figur 7 dargestellt, sich so verformt, daß der Folienpaketkörper 2 im Mantelrohr 3 fixiert wird.The inner bead 11 according to FIGS. 5 to 7 differs from that according to FIG. 4 in that, as shown in Figure 6, it is initially only relatively flat is trained. The conical foil package body 2 is over the bead in the conical jacket tube 3 introduced. After insertion, a force becomes axial exerted conical casing tube 3, the inner bead 11, as in Figure 7 shown, deformed so that the film package body 2 fixed in the jacket tube 3 becomes.

Die Fixierung eines konischen Folienpaketkorpers 2 in einem konischen Mantelrohr 3 erfolgt bei dem in Figur 8 dargestellten konischen Wabenkörper 1 dadurch, daß das konische Mantelrohr 3 beabstandet zu den Stirnöffnungen 4, 5 einen Außenabsatz 12 in der Axialbreite des Folienpaketkorpers 2 aufweist Nach Beendigung der Einbringung des Folienpaketkorpers 2 wird dieses durch den Außenabsatz 12 im Mantelrohr 3 fixiert.The fixation of a conical foil package body 2 in a conical jacket tube 3 takes place in the conical honeycomb body 1 shown in Figure 8 in that the conical jacket tube 3 spaced from the front openings 4, 5 an outer shoulder 12 has in the axial width of the film package body 2 after completion of Introduction of the film package body 2 through the outer paragraph 12 in Jacket tube 3 fixed.

Figur 9 zeigt als weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung eine Fixierung mittels eines Feder-Nut-Systems 13, 14. Dazu weist das Mantelrohr 3 beabstandet zu den Stirnöffnungen 4, 5 im Bereich der Axialbreite des Folienpaketkörpers 2 wenigstens eine Außensicke 14 auf. Der dazu korrespondierende konische Folienpaketkörper 2 ist aus wie in Figur 10 dargestellten zumindest teilweise strukturierten bogenformigen Blechfolien 15 so hergestellt, daß seitlich am Folienpaketkörper 2 wenigstens eine den Folienpaketkörper 2 zumindest abschnittsweise umlaufende Rastnase 13 ausgebildet ist. Bei Einbringung eines solchen Folienpaketkörpers 2 gleiten die Rastnasen 13 in die Außensicke 14, so daß eine Fixierung mittels eines Feder-Nut-Systems erfolgt.FIG. 9 shows a fixation by means of a further exemplary embodiment of the invention a tongue and groove system 13, 14. For this purpose, the jacket tube 3 is spaced from the End openings 4, 5 in the area of the axial width of the film package body 2 at least an outer bead 14. The corresponding conical film package body 2 is at least partially structured as shown in FIG sheet-shaped sheet-metal foils 15 are produced in such a way that the side of the foil package body 2 at least one circumferential at least in sections surrounding the film package body 2 Latch 13 is formed. When such a film package body 2 is introduced slide the locking lugs 13 into the outer bead 14, so that a fixation by means of a Tongue and groove system takes place.

Die erfindungsgemäß bevorzugten Lösungen zeichnen sich in vorteilhafter Weise dadurch aus, daß konische Wabenkörper 1 mit einer erhöhten mechanischen Haltbarkeit kostengünstig hergestellt werden können. Durch die Varianten kann die Funktion des Randbereiches des konischen Wabenkörpers zudem gezielt beeinflußt werden. Insbesondere durch Sicken 9, 11, Einschnürungen 8, 12 und/oder Ringe 7, 10 entsteht beispielsweise ein Blendeneffekt, so daß die für ein Fluid durchströmbaren Kanale im Randbereich des Mantelrohrs 3 nicht oder schwach durchströmt werden. Dadurch entsteht eine Art Luftspaltisolierung, die dazu führt, daß die Temperatur des Mantelrohrs 3 beim Lastbetrieb in einem Kraftfahrzeug nicht zu sehr ansteigt. The solutions preferred according to the invention are distinguished in an advantageous manner characterized in that conical honeycomb body 1 with increased mechanical durability can be produced inexpensively. The variants can Function of the edge area of the conical honeycomb body is also specifically influenced become. In particular by beads 9, 11, constrictions 8, 12 and / or rings 7, 10 creates, for example, an aperture effect, so that for a fluid flowable channels in the edge region of the casing tube 3 not or weak be flowed through. This creates a kind of air gap insulation, which leads to that the temperature of the casing tube 3 is not during load operation in a motor vehicle increases too much.
