Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a catalyst housing according to the preamble of the claim.
- Catalytic converter housing as used to connect a catalytic converter in exhaust systems from Internal combustion engines, in particular motor vehicles, are used, There are many different designs, with two systems on the market have prevailed.
- the first system one becomes catalytic effective material coated monolith (in particular ceramic design) with a Inflatable inflatable mat wrapped, which has the task of storing the monolith.
- This Inflatable mat is used together with the monolith in a sheet metal jacket is also produced by means of a winding process and has the task of Keep monoliths in position together with the inflatable mat.
- the biased The sheet metal jacket is then tacked at individual points using spot welding
- inlet and outlet funnels are attached, which correspond to the Requirements (connection of the exhaust pipe) are aligned. It is attached by means of a welded seam on the wound converter. After closing the The finished winding converter is obtained by means of a weld seam.
- the second system that is established on the market is known as a shell converter from the monolith, a separate mat and two half-shells, namely one Upper and one lower shell, but there is often one in the shell converter lack of process security. Furthermore, it also prepares the bowl shape Fixed geometry often has difficulty adapting to the underbody Motor vehicles.
- the invention has for its object a method for producing To create catalytic converter housings by means of the winding / tensioning technology with which the Catalyst core, especially a monolith, in a particularly safe and durable manner fixed within the housing shell and thus the durability of the Catalyst can be ensured for its runtime.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that the housing jacket then pretensioned with tensioning straps and with one during the pretensioning a setting of the inflatable mat causing direct or indirect tapping with a predetermined knocking frequency of 20 to 80 Hz is applied.
- the inflatable mat is set when the Housing shell by means of the tensioning straps in a much more effective manner, which ensures an absolutely tight fit of the monolith within the casing entire life of the catalyst is ensured.
- the inflatable mat is in used the housing jacket that the expansion jacket overlap offset by 180 ° Overlap of the housing shell is arranged This reliably prevents that the two overlaps come to lie on top of each other, causing the pinch the inflatable mat or the casing shell could be impaired.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the Clamping force for pretensioning the housing jacket towards the end of the tapping process 10 to 30 kN, in particular 20 kN, is increased.
- Such a force controlled Tensioning the casing with simultaneous knocking has a special effect effective setting and firm wrapping of the inflatable mat.
- the housing jacket after the Tensioning tacked using spot welding On the stapled casing funnels are welded on the front using a round seam, the overlap of the housing shell only after welding the funnels with a longitudinal seam is completely welded shut. In this way, the catalyst housing can be opened produce very quickly, accurately and cost-effectively.
- a housing jacket 1 made of sheet metal can be seen, which consists of a circuit board has been wound like a cylinder so that the ends overlap.
- the ends of the wound inflatable mat 3 also overlap each other.
- the monolith 2 wrapped with the expansion mat 3 is then wound into the Housing shell 1 used, as can be seen from Figure 3. This insertion takes place thereby such that the position of the inflatable mat overlap is offset by 180 ° Overlap of the housing shell 1 is.
- the housing shell 1 and thus the internal inflatable mat 3 is prestressed by means of tensioning straps 4, with tapping a frequency of, for example, 45 Hz for 5 seconds, for example Inflatable mat 3 is ensured.
- the force at the end of the tapping process be increased up to a height of, for example, 20 kN in order to ensure that the To ensure monoliths 2.
- the overlaps of the Casing shell 1 and the inflatable mat 3 each offset by 90 ° to the clamping device plane, which is the horizontal plane in FIG. 4, through the center of the monolith 2 and passes through the intersection of the strap 4.
- the housing shell 1 within the straps 4 that the Overlaps of the housing shell 1 and the inflatable mat 3 in this horizontal Clamping center level, as can be seen from FIG. 5.
- the catalyst housing prepared in this way is then placed in a welding device inserted and provided with funnels 6 on the end face, as can be seen from FIG. in the subsequent process step, the funnels 6 by means of circular seams 7 to the Welded housing shell 1, which is done for example by means of MAG welding can. Then the tacked overlap of the housing shell 1 by means of a Longitudinal seam 8 completely welded so that the catalytic converter is finished.
