Description

Fluidführun . insbesondere in Form eines Rohluftschlauchs zum Einsaugen von Rohluft in einen Luftfilter eines Kraftfahrzeugs Fluid guidance. in particular in the form of a raw air hose for sucking raw air into an air filter of a motor vehicle
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fluidfiüjxung mit zumindest zwei Baugliedern aus akustisch im wesentlichen dichtem Material und zumindest einer Öffnung zur Schalldäniprung, wobei zwischen zwei benachbarten Baugliedern eine impedanzänderung, insbesondere in Form eines Impedanzsprunges, des Strömungswiderstandes des durch die Fluidführung strömenden Fluids vorliegt.The invention relates to a fluid filling with at least two members made of acoustically essentially dense material and at least one opening for sound damping, an impedance change, in particular in the form of an impedance jump, of the flow resistance of the fluid flowing through the fluid guide between two adjacent members.
Bei Rohluftschläuchen, die in Motorräume von Kraftfahrzeugen eingebaut werden, um Um- gebungsluft vom Kühler zu einem Luftfilter einzusaugen bzw. zu leiten, ist man herstellerseits bemüht, den wälirend des Motorbetriebes herrschenden Schallpegel zu reduzieren. In der Automobilindustrie verfolgte man zu diesem Zweck hauptsächlich zwei Methoden. Entweder werden an Rohluftschläuchen Resonatoren angebracht, oder Rohluftschläuche werden mit einem sogenannten Bypassschlauch ausgestattet, wodurch bestimmte Frequenzen herausgefiltert werden können. Dabei sollen technisch verfeinerte Resonatoren ein möglichst breites Spektrum im Schall herausfiltern und lassen sich verstimmen, während Bypasswege optional durch Ventilsteuerungen zuschalt- bzw. trennbar sind. Resonatoren bedürfen jedoch einigen Platz, stellenweise umfassen sie ein Volumen von einigen Litern, und Bypassschläuche erhöhen mit ihren bis zu 30cm ebenfalls den Materialaufwand. Bei der anhaltenden Suche nach einfachen und wirksamen schallreduzierenden Rohluftschläuchen steht auch der Einsatz von porösen Materialien bei der Rohluftschlauchverarbeitung zur Diskussion.In the case of unfiltered air hoses which are installed in motor compartments of motor vehicles in order to draw in or direct ambient air from the cooler to an air filter, the manufacturer endeavors to reduce the noise level prevailing during engine operation. Two main methods were used in the automotive industry for this purpose. Either resonators are attached to unfiltered air hoses, or unfiltered air hoses are equipped with a so-called bypass hose, which allows certain frequencies to be filtered out. Technically refined resonators are supposed to filter out the widest possible spectrum in sound and can be detuned, while bypass paths can optionally be switched on or off by valve controls. However, resonators take up a lot of space, in some cases they have a volume of a few liters, and bypass hoses also increase the material expenditure with their up to 30 cm. In the ongoing search for simple and effective sound-reducing raw air hoses, the use of porous materials in raw air hose processing is also under discussion.
So ist aus der JP 60050265 A ein aus Aluminiumpulver gesinterter, poröser Rohrstutzen bekannt, der über ein Schlauchstück mit einem Luftfilter verbunden ist. Der poröse, durchlässige Rohrstutzen zeichnet sich dabei durch einen wesentlich reduzierten Schallpegel bei gleichbleibender Luftzuführixngseffizienz aus. Der Rohrstutzen besitzt allerdings den Nachteil hoher Materialkosten. In der EP 0 837 238 A2 wird die Verwendung eines porösen, formbaren, schallabsorbierenden Materials gelehrt, mit dem der Luftfilter oder dessen Zuleitungen innen ausgekleidet werden können. Eine zusätzliche verschalte Innenwand birgt gleichfalls einen erhöhten Mehrkostenaufwand für Material und Fertigung.For example, JP 60050265 A discloses a porous pipe socket sintered from aluminum powder, which is connected to an air filter via a piece of hose. The porous, permeable pipe socket is characterized by a significantly reduced sound level with constant air supply efficiency. However, the pipe socket has the disadvantage of high material costs. EP 0 837 238 A2 teaches the use of a porous, moldable, sound-absorbing material with which the air filter or its feed lines can be lined on the inside. An additional, interconnected inner wall also entails increased additional costs for materials and production.
Aus der EP 0 818 648 Bl ist der Gebrauch eines porösen Bandmaterials zur Herstellung eines Schlauches bekannt. Dabei wird ein Band schraubenförmig gewickelt sowie in Form eines Schlauches verklebt und zur Schalldämpfung bei der Luftleitung im Motorraum eingesetzt. Als poröses Material wird in der Praxis ein gewebter Kunststoff eingesetzt, wodurch neben dem eigentlich formgebenden Verarbeitungsprozeß zusätzlich die Herstellung des gewebten Bandes kostenaufwendig ist.EP 0 818 648 B1 discloses the use of a porous band material for the production of a hose. A tape is wound helically and glued in the form of a hose and used for noise reduction in the air duct in the engine compartment. In practice, a woven plastic is used as the porous material, which means that in addition to the actual shaping processing process, the production of the woven tape is also costly.
Öffnungen zur Schalldämpfung bei Impedanzänderungen sind im Stand der Technik an sich bekannt. So ist, beispielsweise, aus der WO 00/45044 ein Leitungsabschnitt bekannt, der aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Schalen aufgebaut ist, wobei in der Trennfuge zwischen den Schalen Durchbrüche zur Dämpfung angeordnet sind. Zudem kann dem Leitungsabschnitt eine Diffusorwirkung eigen sei, und die Rohrwandung desselben kann mit Bohrungen versehen sein. Insgesamt ist der bekannte Leitungsabschnitt sehr aufwendig im Aufbau.Apertures for sound absorption in the event of changes in impedance are known per se in the prior art. For example, from WO 00/45044 a line section is known which is constructed from two interconnected shells, with openings for damping being arranged in the joint between the shells. In addition, a diffuser effect may be inherent in the line section, and the pipe wall thereof may be provided with bores. Overall, the known line section is very complex to construct.
Gemäß der DE 196 29 368 AI ist zum Unterdrücken des Entstehens von harmonischen Tönen an einer Perforation von Rohren von Schalldämpfern für pulsierende Gase, insbesondere für Abgase von Verbrennungsmotoren, mit Abstand vor der Perforation eine den Durchmesser des Rohres reduzierende Einschnürung vorzusehen. Dies führt zu einem relativ komplizierten Aufbau.According to DE 196 29 368 AI, to suppress the occurrence of harmonic tones on a perforation of pipes of silencers for pulsating gases, in particular for exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, a constriction reducing the diameter of the pipe must be provided at a distance from the perforation. This leads to a relatively complicated structure.
Eine gattungsgemäße Fluidführung ist aus der GB 2 364 352 A bekannt. Bei der bekannten Fluidführung sind gerade, steife Elemente mit Öffnungen perforierten und jeweils zwischen flexiblen Elementen angeordnet, wobei die flexiblen Elemente in Art eines Wellenrohrab- schnitts ausgebildet sein können. Die Einbringung von Öffnungen in die geraden Elemente muß dabei in Abstimmung mit der Geometrie besagter Elemente erfolgen, was relativ zeit- und kostenaufwendig ist, um eine gewünschte Schalldämpfung zu erhalten. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, die gattungsgemäße Fluidführung derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß die Nachteile des Standes der Teclinik überwunden werden, insbesondere einen Rohluftschlauch zu liefern, der äußerst kostengünstig in der Herstellung ist und und zudem noch in hohem Maße schallreduzierende Eigenschaften aufweist.A generic fluid guide is known from GB 2 364 352 A. In the known fluid guide, straight, rigid elements with openings are perforated and each arranged between flexible elements, wherein the flexible elements can be designed in the manner of a corrugated tube section. The introduction of openings in the straight elements must take place in coordination with the geometry of said elements, which is relatively time-consuming and costly in order to obtain a desired soundproofing. The object of the present invention is therefore to further develop the generic fluid guide in such a way that the disadvantages of the prior art of Teclinik are overcome, in particular to supply a raw air hose which is extremely inexpensive to manufacture and which also has a high degree of sound-reducing properties.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die zumindest eine Öffnung im Bereich der hnpedanzänderung zwischen zwei benachbarten Baugliedern angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in that the at least one opening is arranged in the region of the change in impedance between two adjacent members.
Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, daß mehrere Öffnungen längs des Umfangs der Fluidführung angeordnet sind, und/oder jede Öffnung im wesentlichen rechteckig ausgebildet ist.It can be provided that a plurality of openings are arranged along the circumference of the fluid guide and / or each opening is essentially rectangular.
Erfindungsgemäß wird auch vorgeschlagen, daß die Gesamtfläche der Öffnung bzw. der Öffnungen im wesentlichen der Querschnittsfläche der Fluidführung, insbesondere im Bereich "dessen Lufteinsaugendes oder dessen Luftauslaßendes, entspricht.According to the invention, it is also proposed that the total area of the opening or the openings corresponds essentially to the cross-sectional area of the fluid guide, in particular in the area of its air intake end or its air outlet end.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, daß jede Öffnung eingestanzt und/oder mit einem offenporigen, porösen Schutzgewebe abgedeckt ist.It is also proposed that each opening be punched and / or covered with an open-pore, porous protective fabric.
Erfindungsgemäß wird bevorzugt vorgeschlagen, daß die Bauglieder aus einem Kunststoff, insbesondere Polypropylen, vorzugsweise in einem spritzgegossen oder geblasen, hergestellt sind.According to the invention it is preferably proposed that the structural members are made of a plastic, in particular polypropylene, preferably in an injection molded or blown manner.
Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß das Schutzgewebe ein Kunststoffvlies, insbesondere aus Polypropylen, ist, wobei vorzugsweise das Schutzgewebe mit den Baugliedern verklebt oder verschweißt ist.It can also be provided that the protective fabric is a plastic fleece, in particular made of polypropylene, the protective fabric preferably being glued or welded to the members.
Erfindungsgemäß kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Bauglieder einen Faltbalg zwischen zwei im wesentlichen formstabilen Bereichen umfassen, wobei vorzugsweise zwischen dem einen im wesentlichen foπnstabilen Bereich und dem Faltbalg einerseits sowie dem Faltbalg und dem anderen im wesentlichen formstabilen Bereich andererseits jeweils zumindest eine Öffnung angeordnet ist. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, daß der eine im wesentlichen formstabile Bereich mit einemAccording to the invention it can also be provided that the structural members comprise a bellows between two substantially dimensionally stable areas, preferably at least one opening each being arranged between the one substantially film-stable area and the bellows on the one hand and the bellows and the other substantially dimensionally stable area on the other. It can be provided that a substantially dimensionally stable area with a

Montage in den Motorraum eines Kraftfahrzeuges.Installation in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle.
Schließlich ist eine erfmdungsgemäße Vorrichtung gekennzeichnet durch zumindest eine Krürnmung, vorzugsweise in dem einen im wesentlichen formstabilen Bereich, und/oder zumindest eine Ausnehmung, vorzugsweise in dem anderen im wesentlichen formstabilen Bereich.Finally, a device according to the invention is characterized by at least one curvature, preferably in one essentially dimensionally stable region, and / or at least one recess, preferably in the other, essentially dimensionally stable region.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß Öffnungen in der Wandung beispielsweise eines in den Motorraum eines Kraftfal rzeuges zwischen dem Kühler und einem Luftfilter montierten Rohluftschlauches, insbesondere vor und nach in den Rohluftschlauch integrierten Baugliedern, an denen eine Impedanzänderung des Strömungswiderstandes auftritt, erheblich zur Senkung des während des Motorbetriebes entstehenden Schallpegels, vor allem der Geräusche am Rohlufteinsaugende, also am Kühler, beitragen. Bei einem Rohluftschlauch handelt es sich im wesentlichen um einen λ/4-Resonator, bei dem durch die erfindungsgemäße Einbringung von Öffnungen Schalldämpfung durch Reflexion und/oder Interferenz stattfindet. Die Bemessung der Öffnungen stellt dabei im wesentlichen eine Kompromißlösung zwischen einer Maximierung des Strömungswiderstandes einerseits und einer Minimierung des akustischen Widerstandes andererseits dar. Erfindungsgemäß ist festgestellt worden, daß besagte Kompromißlösung vorliegt, wenn die Fläche der Öffnungen im wesentlichen in der Größenordnung der Querschnittsfläche des Rohluftschlauchs, insbesondere im Bereich dessen Auslasses.The invention is therefore based on the finding that openings in the wall, for example, of a raw air hose mounted in the engine compartment of a Kraftfal tool between the radiator and an air filter, in particular before and after members integrated into the raw air hose, at which an impedance change in the flow resistance occurs considerably Reduction of the noise level generated during engine operation, especially the noise at the intake of untreated air, i.e. at the radiator. A raw air hose is essentially a λ / 4 resonator, in which sound absorption by reflection and / or interference takes place through the introduction of openings according to the invention. The dimensioning of the openings essentially represents a compromise solution between maximizing the flow resistance on the one hand and minimizing the acoustic resistance on the other hand. especially in the area of its outlet.
Als besonders praktikabel erweist sich das Einstanzen der Öffnungen, die dann zur Vermeidung einer Verschmutzung des Rohluftschlauches mit einem offenporigen, porösen Material, wie beispielsweise in Form eines Polypropylenvlieses, bedeckt werden sollten.Stamping the openings, which should then be covered with an open-pore, porous material such as, for example, in the form of a polypropylene fleece, in order to avoid contamination of the raw air hose, has proven to be particularly practical.
Die Bauglieder des Rohluftschlauchs, insbesondere in Form eines Faltbalgs zwischen zwei im wesentlichen formstabilen Bereichen, sind aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen aus einem Kunststoff, wie Polypropylen, in einem ausgeblasen, so daß dann die Öffnungen einfach eingestanzt werden können. Des weiteren ist es für die Herstellung günstig, das Schutzmaterial der Öffnungen auf die Bauglieder aufzuschweißen. Somit ergibt sich insgesamt ein kosten- σiinstiσfir πnrl in ή r nämnfnne äußerst effektiver Rohluftschlauch. Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung, in der ein Ausfuhrungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung im einzelnen erläutert wird. Dabei zeigt:The structural members of the unfiltered air hose, in particular in the form of a bellows between two essentially dimensionally stable areas, are blown out of a plastic, such as polypropylene, in one for manufacturing reasons, so that the openings can then simply be punched in. Furthermore, it is favorable for the production to weld the protective material of the openings onto the structural members. Overall, this results in a cost-effective raw air hose that is extremely effective. Further features and advantages of the invention result from the following description, in which an exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in detail with the aid of a schematic drawing. It shows:

Fig.2 eine frequenzabhängige Dämpfungsgraphik.2 shows a frequency-dependent damping graphic.
Figur 1 zeigt einen erfindungs gemäßen Rohluftschlauch 1, wie er in ein Kraftfahrzeug zwischen einen Kühler und einen Luftfilter (jeweils nicht dargestellt) eingebaut werden kann. Der beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoff gefertigte Rohluftschlauch 1 weist zwischen im wesentlichen akustisch dichten sowie formstabilen Bereichen 2, 3, an dessen jeweiligen Enden 4, 5 sich ein Kühleranschlußstutzen 6 bzw. ein Luftfilteranschlußstutzen 7 befinden, einen flexiblen Faltbalg 8 auf. Der dem Luftfilteranschlußstutzen 7 zugewandte formstabile Bereich 2 ist zusätzlich durch eine K-rürrrmung 9 geprägt, während der gegenüberliegende, dem Kühleranschlußstutzen 6 zugewandte, formstabile Bereich 3 eine Ausnehmung 10 zur Erleichterung der Endmontage in den Motorraum (nicht dargestellt) des Kraftfahrzeuges aufweist. Zu beiden Seiten des Faltbalgs 8 befinden sich im wesentlichen rechteckföπnige Öffnungen 11, 11', die umlaufend ausgebildet sind. Die Flächeninhalte der Öffnungen 11, 11' entsprechen in etwa der Öffnungsfläche (nicht dargestellt) des Luftfilteranschlußstutzens 7 und sind innerhalb von Klebezonen 12, 12' angeordnet. Jede Klebezone 12, 12' dient dazu, das Eindringen von Schmutzpartikeln in den Rohluftschlauch 1 zu verhindern, indem über die Öffnungen 11, 11' im Bereich der Klebezone 12, 12' ein luftdurchlässiges Vlies mittels Kleberaupen (beides nicht dargestellt) aufgebracht wird. Dieses Vlies, welches ebenfalls aus einem Kunststoff gefertigt sein kann, kann alternativ mit den Wänden des Rohluftschlauches verschweißt sein.FIG. 1 shows a raw air hose 1 according to the invention, as can be installed in a motor vehicle between a radiator and an air filter (not shown in each case). The raw air hose 1, for example made of a plastic, has a flexible bellows 8 between essentially acoustically sealed and dimensionally stable areas 2, 3, at the respective ends 4, 5 of which there is a radiator connection piece 6 or an air filter connection piece 7. The dimensionally stable area 2 facing the air filter connecting piece 7 is additionally characterized by a K-shaped armor 9, while the opposite, dimensionally stable area 3 facing the radiator connecting piece 6 has a recess 10 to facilitate final assembly in the engine compartment (not shown) of the motor vehicle. On both sides of the bellows 8 there are essentially rectangular openings 11, 11 ', which are formed all around. The surface areas of the openings 11, 11 'correspond approximately to the opening area (not shown) of the air filter connecting piece 7 and are arranged within adhesive zones 12, 12'. Each adhesive zone 12, 12 'serves to prevent the ingress of dirt particles into the raw air hose 1 by applying an air-permeable fleece by means of adhesive beads (both not shown) via the openings 11, 11' in the area of the adhesive zone 12, 12 '. This fleece, which can also be made of a plastic, can alternatively be welded to the walls of the raw air hose.
In der Graphik von Figur 2 ist vergleichend die Dämpfung des Mündungsgeräusches, wobei als Mündung das dem Kühler zugewandte Ende des Rohluftschlauches 1, also das Ende 4 des Kühleranschluß Stutzens 6, bezeichnet wird, gegen Anregungsfrequenzen für drei unterschiedliche Typen von Rohluftschläuchen aufgetragen. Die Kurve 1 repräsentiert dabei das akustische Verhalten eines Rohluftschlauchs, der einen Faltbalg, aber keine porösen Wände aufweist und zudem aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, wie im Stand der Technik meist üblich. Die Kurve 2 repräsentiert das akustische Verhalten eines flexiblen Rohluftschlauchs, der entsprechend dem in der EP 0 818 648 Bl offenbarten Verfahren hergestellt worden ist. Die Kurve 3 schließlich repräsentiert das akustische Verhalten eines erfindungsgemäßen Rohluftschlauchs 1. Deutlich ist Figur 2 durch einen Vergleich der drei Kurven miteinander die über weite Frequenzbereiche wirkungsvollere Schalldämpfung des erfindungsgemäßen Rohluftschlauches 1 gegenüber den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Rohluftschläuchen zu entnehmen.The graph of FIG. 2 compares the damping of the muzzle noise, the muzzle being the end of the unfiltered air hose 1 facing the cooler, that is to say the end 4 of the cooler connector 6, plotted against excitation frequencies for three different types of unfiltered air hoses. Curve 1 represents the acoustic behavior of an unfiltered air hose which has a bellows but no porous walls and is also made of plastic, as is usually the case in the prior art. The Curve 2 represents the acoustic behavior of a flexible raw air hose which has been produced in accordance with the method disclosed in EP 0 818 648 B1. Finally, curve 3 represents the acoustic behavior of an unfiltered air hose 1 according to the invention. FIG. 2 clearly shows by comparing the three curves with one another the sound insulation of the unfiltered air hose 1 according to the invention, which is more effective over wide frequency ranges, compared to the unfiltered air hoses known from the prior art.
