Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Luftfilter zur Filterung der Ansaugluft für Brennkraftmaschinen von Kraftfahrzeugen der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 definierten Gattung.The invention relates to an air filter for filtering the Intake air for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles of the Generic term of claim 1 defined genus.
Solche Luftfilter, wie sie beispielsweise aus Bosch "Kraftfahrtechnisches Taschenbuch", 1998, Seite 422 ff. bekannt sind, halten den in der Ansaugluft der Brennkraftmaschine enthaltenen Staub fern und verhindern einen verfrühten Verschleiß der Brennkraftmaschine. Die den Staub zurückhaltende, in Wartungsintervallen auszutauschende Filtermatte ist dabei auf die Brennkraftmaschine abgestimmt, um Leistung, Kraftstoffverbrauch und Dämpfung des Ansauggeräusches zu optimieren. Zum Abführen von im Filtergehäuse sich bildenden Kondenswasser sind im Boden des Filtergehäuses mehrere Ablaufbohrungen vorgesehen.Such air filters, such as those from Bosch "Automotive Handbook", 1998, page 422 et seq. are known to keep the intake air in the Internal combustion engine contained dust and prevent a premature wear of the internal combustion engine. The the Dust-retaining, to be replaced in maintenance intervals Filter mat is tuned to the internal combustion engine, around performance, fuel economy and damping of the Optimize intake noise. For discharging in the Filter housing forming condensation are in the bottom of the Filter housing provided several drain holes.
Aus der US 5 507 858 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Trennung der gasförmigen und flüssigen Phase eines Gas-/Ölgemisches in einer Pipeline bekannt, die ein mit einem Zulauf und einem Ablauf in die Pipeline eingesetztes Gehäuse aufweist, in dem ein Wasserabscheider angeordnet ist. Der aus einer Lochplatte bestehende Wasserabscheider ist schräg, d.h. unter einem spitzen Winkel zu den Achsen von Zu- und Ablauf, ausgerichtet und unterteilt das Gehäuse in einen mit dem Zulauf verbundenen Gehäuseabschnitt und einen mit dem Ablauf verbundenen Gehäuseabschnitt. Im letzteren Gehäuseabschnitt ist ein Flüssigkeitsauslaß vorgesehen, so daß die am Wasserabscheider sich absondernde Flüssigkeit aus dem Gehäuse ablaufen kann.From US 5 507 858 a device for separating the gaseous and liquid phase of a gas / oil mixture in a pipeline known to be one with a feed and a Drain used in the pipeline housing in the a water separator is arranged. The one from a perforated plate existing water separator is oblique, i. under a acute angle to the axes of inlet and outlet, aligned and divides the housing into one with the inlet connected housing section and one with the drain connected housing section. In the latter housing section a liquid outlet is provided so that the am Water separator secreting liquid from the housing can expire.
Der erfindungsgemäße Luftfilter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat den Vorteil, daß einerseits in der angesaugten Luft enthaltene Wasserpartikel am Wasserabscheider ausgefällt werden und sich am Boden des Filtergehäuses ablagern und andererseits das sich am Boden des Filtergehäuses ansammelnde Wasser auch im Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine über den Wasserablauf zuverlässig abgeführt wird und sich nicht in Strömungstoträumen des Filtergehäuses ansammelt. Dadurch wird die Filtermatte im Filtergehäuse weniger feucht und kann sich nicht mit Feuchtigkeit voll saugen, so daß Sekundärstörungen auf der Reinluftseite infolge von durch die vollgesaugte Filtermatte hindurchtretendem Wasser vermieden werden.The inventive air filter with the features of Claim 1 has the advantage that on the one hand in the sucked air contained water particles on Water separator will be precipitated and located at the bottom of the Deposit the filter housing and on the other hand, the on the ground the filter housing accumulating water in the operation of the Internal combustion engine reliably via the water drain is dissipated and not in Strömungsstoträumen the Accumulates filter housing. This will cause the filter mat in the Filter housing less humid and can not handle Moisture fully so that secondary disorders on the Clean air side as a result of the fully sucked filter mat be avoided by passing water.
Durch die in den weiteren Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Luftfilters möglich.By the measures listed in the further claims are advantageous developments and improvements in the Claim 1 specified air filter possible.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird der erforderliche Wasserfühlstand im Wasserablauf dadurch realisiert, daß an einer Ablauföffnung im Filtergehäuse sich ein Ablaufrohr anschließt, in dessen Verlauf eine ringförmige Schlaufe oder eine mäanderförmige Schleife nach Art eines Wasserverschlusses ausgebildet ist. Das Ablaufrohr wird dabei vorzugsweise als Schlauch ausgeführt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention is the required water level in the water drain thereby realized that at a drain opening in the filter housing itself an outlet pipe connects, in the course of which an annular Loop or a meandering loop in the manner of a Water seal is formed. The drainpipe will be here preferably designed as a hose.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weisen die Mittel zur Wasserfüllstandsausbildung ein von einer Ablauföffnung im Filtergehäuse sich fortsetzendes Ablaufrohr auf, das mit saugfähigem Material ausgefüllt ist. Ein gleichartiger Saugeffekt wird auch durch eine große Oberflächenrauhigkeit der Innenrohrwand des Ablaufrohrs oder durch Vorsehen einer Verengung im Verlauf des Ablaufrohrs erzielt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the means for water level training one of Drain opening in the filter housing continuing drainage pipe which is filled with absorbent material. One similar suction effect is also due to a large Surface roughness of the inner pipe wall of the drain pipe or by providing a constriction in the course of the drainpipe achieved.
Alle diese vorstehend ausgeführten Ausführungsvarianten haben den Vorteil, daß unterhalb des Filtergehäuses weniger Bauraum für die Unterbringung des Ablaufrohrs erforderlich ist als dies bei der Ausbildung einer Schlaufe oder Schleife in dem Ablaufrohr der Fall ist. Außerdem ist im Ablaufrohr keine ständige Wasservorlage vorhanden, die im Winter einfrieren kann, vielmehr wird der Wasserfüllstand erst im Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine durch den Mechanismus der Saugfähigkeit auf die erforderliche Höhe aufgebaut. Versuche haben ergeben, daß unabhängig davon, sich eine verbesserte Wasserabscheidung ergibt.All of these embodiments have executed above the advantage that below the filter housing less space is required for the accommodation of the drain pipe as this in the formation of a loop or loop in the Drain pipe is the case. In addition, in the drain pipe no permanent water mask available, which freeze in winter can, but the water level is only in the operation of Internal combustion engine through the mechanism of absorbency built up to the required height. Experiments have shown that, independently, is an improved water separation results.

Der in Fig. 1 schematisch im Längsschnitt dargestellte
Luftfilter zur Filterung der Ansaugluft einer
Brennkraftmaschine in einem Kraftfahrzeug weist ein
Filtergehäuse 10 mit einem Lufteinlaß 11 und einem Luftauslaß
12 und eine zwischen Luftein- und -auslaß 11,12 angeordnete,
austauschbare Filtermatte 13 auf. Der Lufteinlaß 11 ist mit
einem Luftansaugstutzen 14 und der Luftauslaß 12 mit einem
Anschlußstutzen 15 versehen, der nach Einbau des
Filtergehäuses 10 in das Kraftfahrzeug mit dem Ansaugrohr der
Brennkraftmaschine verbunden wird. In Einbaulage ist die
Filtermatte 13 beispielsweise horizontal ausgerichtet und
unterteilt den Innenraum des Filtergehäuses 10 in einen
unteren Gehäuseraum 16, in dessen oberem Bereich der
Lufteinlaß 11 liegt, und in einen oberen Gehäuseraum 17, in
dem der Luftauslaß 12 mündet. Der Gehäuseboden 101 des
Filtergehäuses 10 ist trichterförmig ausgebildet und an
seiner tiefsten Stelle mit einem Wasserablauf 18 versehen.The one shown in Fig. 1 schematically in longitudinal section
Air filter for filtering the intake air of a
Internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle has a
Zur verbesserten Wasserabscheidung aus der über den
Lufteinlaß 11 eintretenden, mit Feuchtigkeit oder
Wassertropfen beladenen Luft ist stromaufwärts der
Filtermatte 13 ein Wasserabscheider 19 angeordnet. Der
Wasserabscheider 19 ist dabei unter einem spitzen Winkel
geneigt zur Achse des Lufteinlasses 11 ausgerichtet und
trennt von dem unteren Gehäuseraum 16 einen vorderen Bereich
20 ab, in dem sowohl der Lufteinlaß 11 als auch der
Wasserablauf 18 liegt. Der Wasserabscheider 19 wird als
Gitter z.B. aus nicht rostendem Strickmetall ausgeführt,
wobei die Gittermaschen oder -waben eine Größe von z.B. etwa
0,8 x 1,6 mm aufweisen. Im Fahrbetrieb herrscht im
Filtergehäuse 10 ein Unterdruck, der das aus dem Luftstrom
ausgefällte und am Gehäuseboden 101 sich ansammelnde Wasser
nicht oder nur schlecht über den Wasserablauf 18 ablaufen
läßt. Dadurch kann sich die Filtermatte 13 mit Wasser
vollsaugen, und, nachdem ihre Speicherfähigkeit erschöpft
ist, dringt Wasser durch die Filtermatte 13 hindurch und
gelangt in den reinluftseitigen Ansaugtrakt der
Brennkraftmaschine, in dem durch das Wasser Störungen an dort
befindlichen Sensoren auftreten können. Um dieses zu
vermeiden, sind im Wasserablauf 18 Mittel angeordnet, die im
Wasserablauf 18 einen Wasserfüllstand von einer solchen Höhe
ausbilden, daß der auf den Wasserablauf 18 wirkende
Unterdruck kompensiert ist. Diese Mittel können in
verschiedener Weise realisiert werden, wobei in allen Fällen
der Wasserablauf 18 mit einem an der Unterseite des
Filtergehäuses 10 sich fortsetzenden Ablaufrohr 21 versehen
ist, das eine Ablauföffnung 22 im Gehäuseboden 101
umschließt.For improved water separation from the over the
Bei dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Luftfilter sind die Mittel
zur Wasserfüllstandsausbildung durch eine Schlaufe 24
realisiert, die im Verlauf des vorzugsweise als Schlauch
ausgeführten Ablaufrohrs 21 ausgebildet ist. In dieser
Schlaufe 24 ist immer eine Wassersäule 23 (in Fig. 2 durch
Strichelung markiert) vorhanden, die bei entsprechender
Ausbildung der Schlaufe 24 den im Filtergehäuse 10
herrschenden Unterdruck in seiner Wirkung auf den
Wasserablauf 18 neutralisiert. Anstelle der Schlaufe 24 kann
das Ablaufrohr 21 auch mit einer mäanderförmigen Schleife 25
(Fig. 2) versehen werden, indem das Ablaufrohr 21 zweimal um
180° umgebogen wird. Die Höhe der Schleife 25 legt die Höhe
der im Ablaufrohr 21 stets vorhandenen Wassersäule 23 fest,
um den Unterdruck im Filtergehäuse 10 zu kompensieren.In the air filter shown in Fig. 1, the means

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 ist das Ablaufrohr 21 in
einem von der Ablauföffnung 22 abgekehrten Rohrabschnitt mit
einer Verengung 26 seines lichten Durchmessers versehen.
Infolge der Verengung 26 baut sich der für die Kompensation
des Unterdrucks im Filtergehäuse 10 erforderliche
Wasserfüllstand im Ablaufrohr 21 erst im Laufe des
Fahrbetriebs selbsttätig auf. Bei abgestellter
Brennkraftmaschine und damit in Wegfall kommendem Unterdruck
läuft das Wasser vollständig aus dem Filtergehäuse 10 ab, so
daß im Winter ein Einfrieren des Wasserablaufs 18 vermieden
wird.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the
