Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Lagerungsvorrichtung für einen Keramikkatalysator einer Brennkraftmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a storage device for a ceramic catalyst of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 22 43 251 ist eine Lagerungsvorrichtung für einen Monoliten zur Abgasreinigung bekannt, der an Stirnseitenkanten über Ringe aus einem Drahtgestrick in einem umgebenden Gehäuse mit einem Luftspalt gehalten wird. Des Weiteren ist es bekannt, Keramikkatalysatoren in Fasermatten und/oder in faserhaltigen Quellmatten zu lagern. Aus der EP 1 353 049 A ist ein Katalysator bekannt, welcher in einem Gehäuse über ein Lager aus Drahtgestrick einem weiteren Lager aus einer Blechhülse gehalten ist. Zwischen dem Katalysator und dem Gehäuse ist ein Luftspalt vorgesehen. Des Weiteren ist aus der US 2004,022,699 A ein Katalysator vorbekannt, welcher in einem Gehäuse über Ringelemente oder dergleichen Elemente mit Abstand zu diesem gehalten wird. Die Ringelemente bestehen vorzugsweise aus einem Keramikmaterial. Aus der US 3975 836 A ist ein Katalysator bekannt, der in einem Gehäuse mit Hilfe einer am Gehäuse geklebten elastischen Faser gelagert ist.From the DE 22 43 251 a storage device for a monolith for exhaust gas purification is known, which is held at end edges by means of rings of a wire mesh in a surrounding housing with an air gap. Furthermore, it is known to store ceramic catalysts in fiber mats and / or in fiber-containing swelling mats. From the EP 1 353 049 A a catalyst is known which is held in a housing via a bearing made of wire mesh another bearing made of a sheet metal sleeve. Between the catalyst and the housing, an air gap is provided. Furthermore, from the US 2004,022,699 A a catalyst previously known, which is held in a housing via ring elements or the like elements at a distance from this. The ring elements are preferably made of a ceramic material. From the US 3975 836 A For example, a catalyst is known which is mounted in a housing by means of an elastic fiber glued to the housing.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine verbesserte Lagerungsvorrichtung für einen Keramikkatalysator einer Brennkraftmaschine zu schaffen, die in einfacher Weise ohne Beschädigung des Katalysators zu montieren ist, darüber hinaus eine dauerhaltbare elastische Lagerung gewährleistet, wobei die Lagerungsvorrichtung keine lösbaren faserhaltigen Stoffe umfasst, umweltfreundlich ist und sortenrein getrennt werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide an improved storage device for a ceramic catalyst of an internal combustion engine, which is to be mounted in a simple manner without damaging the catalyst, moreover, a durable elastic storage ensures that the storage device does not contain soluble fibrous materials, is environmentally friendly and sorted can be separated.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale beinhalten die Unteransprüche.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous features include the subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung hauptsächlich erzielten Vorteile bestehen darin, dass die Lagerungen aus hochtemperaturbeständigen Klebstoffen eine temperaturbeständige, mechanisch dauerhafte und gasdichte sowie dauerelastische Verbindung zwischen einem Keramikkatalysator und einem umgebenden Gehäuse herstellt. Dies wird im Wesentlichen dadurch erreicht, indem die stromauf und stromab eines Abgasstromes der Brennkraftmaschine angeordneten beiden Lagerungen des Keramikkatalysators im Gehäuse oder im Gehäusemantel aus hochtemperaturbeständigen elastischen Klebstoffelementen bestehen, über welche der Keramikkatalysator dem Luftspalt und Toleranzen überbrückend festgehalten lagerbar ist. Des Weiteren sind die aus hochtemperaturbeständigen bestehenden beiden Lagerungen des Keramikkatalysators im Gehäuse jeweils aus mindestens einem Ringelement bestehend, die rundherum des Katalysators angeordnet und am Gehäuse abstützend anliegend sind, wobei das eine stromab oder stromauf angeordnete Ringelement der Lagerung gegen Abgase gasdicht ausgeführt ist. Hierdurch wird in vorteilhafter Weise nach der Erfindung eine Lagerung des empfindlichen Keramikträgers ohne lösliche faserhaltige Stoffe erzielt und es wird darüber hinaus ein Umströmen des Katalysators durch ungereinigtes Abgas verhindert.The advantages achieved by the invention are that the bearings made of high temperature resistant adhesives produces a temperature-resistant, mechanically durable and gas-tight and permanently elastic connection between a ceramic catalyst and a surrounding housing. This is essentially achieved by the upstream and downstream of an exhaust gas flow of the engine arranged two bearings of the ceramic catalyst in the housing or in the housing shell made of high temperature resistant elastic adhesive elements, via which the ceramic catalyst the air gap and Tolerances bridged fixed storable. Furthermore, consisting of high temperature resistant existing two layers of the ceramic catalyst in the housing each consisting of at least one ring element, which are arranged around the catalyst and support abutting the housing, wherein the one downstream or upstream ring element of the storage against exhaust gases is made gas-tight. As a result, storage of the sensitive ceramic carrier without soluble fibrous substances is achieved in an advantageous manner according to the invention and it is also prevented from flowing around the catalyst by unpurified exhaust gas.

Das mechanisch dauerhaltbare Klebstoffelement erreicht auch bei besonderen Beanspruchungen, wie bei einem Geländebetrieb des Fahrzeugs vor allem im Unterbodenbereich durch Steinschlag und Aufsetzer oder bei Schwingungen, welche durch Geländeanregung bei Schlechtwegstrecken erfolgt und allgemeine Mikrobewegungen, insbesondere durch Ladungswechsel der Brennkraftmaschine die erforderliche Lebensdauer. Auch kompensieren diese dauerelastischen Klebstoffelemente unterschiedliche Wärmeausdehnungen des Keramikträgers und des Gehäuses aus Edelstahl innerhalb der Breite der Klebstoffelemente. Des Weiteren ist das Klebstoffelement temperaturbeständig und fungiert dauerhaft als Festlager der Katalysatorlagerung. Auch bei besonderen Beanspruchungen, wie bei einem Geländebetrieb vor allem im Unterbodenbereich beim Waten durch eindringendes Wasser sowie durch Temperaturschock von außen.The mechanically durable adhesive element achieved even under special conditions, such as in an off-road operation of the vehicle especially in the underbody area by rockfall and Aufsetzer or vibrations, which occurs by terrain excitation at poor roads and general micro-movements, in particular by changing the charge of the engine, the required life. These permanently elastic adhesive elements also compensate for different thermal expansions of the ceramic carrier and the housing made of stainless steel within the width of the adhesive elements. Furthermore, the adhesive element is temperature resistant and permanently acts as a fixed bearing of the catalyst storage. Also under special conditions, such as in a terrain operation, especially in the underbody area when wading through water penetration as well as by temperature shock from the outside.

Ferner ist nach der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die stromauf oder stromab angeordnete aus einem hochtemperaturbeständigen Klebstoffelement bestehende Lagerung aus einer mindestens als Dreipunktlagerung ausgeführte Lagerung besteht und die einzelnen Lagerelemente jeweils unter einem Winkel von etwa 120° zueinander zwischen dem Katalysator und dem Gehäuse angeordnet sind. Durch diese Anordnung wird in vorteilhafter Weise nach der Erfindung erreicht, dass ein einfach einzusetzender Katalysator ins Gehäuse erzielt wird, da nur drei Berührungspunkte zum Gehäuse bestehen.It is also provided according to the invention that the upstream or downstream arranged consisting of a high temperature resistant adhesive element storage consists of at least designed as a three-point bearing storage and the individual bearing elements are each arranged at an angle of about 120 ° to each other between the catalyst and the housing. By this arrangement is achieved in an advantageous manner according to the invention that an easy-to-use catalyst is achieved in the housing, since there are only three points of contact with the housing.

Damit der Katalysator bzw. das Gehäuse sich unter Wärmebelastung entsprechend ausdehnen kann, kann ein Loslager vorgesehen sein, welches zumindest stromauf des Abgasstromes aber auch stromab des Abgasstromes angeordnet sein kann und welches durch das weitere gasdichte Lager ergänzt wird.So that the catalyst or the housing can expand correspondingly under heat load, a floating bearing can be provided, which can be arranged at least upstream of the exhaust stream but also downstream of the exhaust stream and which is supplemented by the further gas-tight bearing.

Aufgrund der elastischen Lagerung durch die elastischen Klebstoffringe bzw. durch die elastischen Klebstoffelemente kann der Keramikkatalysator nach einer Ausführung der Erfindung im Querschnitt ovalförmig oder unregelmäßig geformt ausgeführt sein. Die Klebstoffelemente können sich aufgrund der Elastizität an diese Ovalform in einfacher Weise anlegen. Hierdurch ist eine problemlose Anpassung der Lagerung an die Umrissform des Katalysators möglich.Due to the elastic support by the elastic adhesive rings or by the elastic adhesive elements of the ceramic catalyst according to an embodiment of the invention in cross-section oval or irregularly shaped. The adhesive elements can create a simple way of this oval shape due to the elasticity. This makes it possible to easily adapt the storage to the contour of the catalyst.

Das Klebstoffelement weist eine Zusammensetzung auf, die eine Temperatur bis maximal 1700°C aufnimmt und aus gefilzten Glasfasern und Keramikanteilen besteht.The adhesive element has a composition that absorbs a maximum temperature of 1700 ° C and consists of felted glass fibers and Keramikikanteilen.

In vorteilhafter Weise nach der Erfindung kann das Loslager zur Zentrierung durch zwei hochtemperaturbeständige elastische Klebstoffelemente bestehen.Advantageously, according to the invention, the floating bearing for centering by two high temperature resistant elastic adhesive elements.

Durch die Lagerung des Keramikkatalysators im Gehäuse über hochtemperaturbeständige elastische Klebstoffelemente entfällt ein vorheriges Vermessen jedes einzelnen Keramikträgers bzw. Gehäuses, da der Klebstoff Toleranzen überbrückt. Ein trägerbezogenes Kalibrieren des Gehäusemantels entfällt aus dem gleichen Grund. Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen durch z.B. fehlende Vorspannkräfte entfallen ebenfalls, da Beschädigungen beim Stopfen der Keramikträger mit umgelegter Fasermatte in den Gehäusemantel ausgeschlossen wird. Selbst bei der Montage, dem Betrieb und beim Recycling müssen keine weiteren Umweltschutz bzw. oder Arbeitsschutzvorkehrurigen getroffen werden, da die verwendeten Werkstoffe umweltfreundlich sind.By the storage of the ceramic catalyst in the housing via high temperature resistant elastic adhesive elements eliminates a prior measurement of each ceramic carrier or housing, since the adhesive bridges tolerances. A carrier-related calibration of the housing shell deleted for the same reason. Functional impairments due to, for example, missing preload forces are also eliminated, since damage during plugging of the ceramic carrier with umgelegtter Fiber mat is excluded in the housing shell. Even during assembly, operation and recycling, no further environmental or occupational health and safety precautions need to be taken, as the materials used are environmentally friendly.

Ein Ringspalt zwischen dem Katalysator und dem Gehäuse, sowie zwischen Fest- und Loslager wirkt als Luftspaltisolierung. Das Gehäuse schützt vor mechanischer Beschädigung von außen. Der Wärmeübergang nach außen ist für ein schnelles Anspringen des Katalysators und für eine geringere Fahrzeug- bzw. Motorraumaufheizung minimiert. Ein Thermoschock von außen wird nicht direkt auf den empfindlichen Katalysator eingeleitet.An annular gap between the catalyst and the housing, as well as between fixed and floating bearings acts as air gap insulation. The housing protects against mechanical damage from outside. The heat transfer to the outside is minimized for a quick start of the catalyst and for a lower vehicle or engine compartment heating. A thermal shock from the outside is not initiated directly on the sensitive catalyst.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und werden im Folgenden näher beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

Ein Keramikkatalysator 1 ist in einem Gehäuse 2 bzw. innerhalb eines Gehäusemantels in Lagerungen 3, 4; 12, 13 gehalten, die stromauf und stromab eines Abgasstromes 5, 5a einer Abgasanlage an Stirnseitenkanten 6 und 7 des Katalysators 1 diesen übergreifend im Gehäuse 2 angeordnet sind.A ceramic catalyst 1 is in a housing 2 or within a housing shell in bearings 3, 4; 12, 13 which are arranged upstream and downstream of an exhaust gas stream 5, 5 a of an exhaust gas system at front side edges 6 and 7 of the catalytic converter 1 in the housing 2.

Die Lagerungen 3, 4 bestehen aus hochtemperaturbeständigen dauerelastischen Klebstoffelementen, die aus einem rundum des Katalysators 1 verlaufenden geschlossenen Ring bestehen. Mindestens einer dieser Lagerungen 3, 4 kann auch aus sogenannten Teillagerelementen A, B, C bestehen, die bei Kreisquerschnitten jeweils unter einen Winkel von etwa 120° zueinander angeordnet sind und eine sogenannte Dreipunktlagerung bilden. Diese ist in Fig. 1 um 90° verdreht zum Katalysator 1 auf einem strichpunktierten Kreis K dargestellt, der den Umriss des Katalysators 1 darstellt. Bei anderen Querschnittsformen ist dann eine entsprechende Anzahl von Lagerungen vorgesehen.The bearings 3, 4 are made of high temperature resistant permanently elastic adhesive elements, which consist of a circular ring running all around the catalyst 1. At least one of these bearings 3, 4 may also consist of so-called partial bearing elements A, B, C, which are arranged at circular cross sections in each case at an angle of about 120 ° to each other and form a so-called three-point bearing. This is in Fig. 1 rotated by 90 ° to the catalyst 1 shown on a dot-dash line K, which represents the outline of the catalyst 1. In other cross-sectional shapes then a corresponding number of bearings is provided.

Eine der Lagerungen 3 oder 4 ist jeweils als sogenanntes Loslager und das weitere Lager ist dann als sogenanntes Festlager ausgeführt. In jedem Fall ist das Festlager aus einem gasdichten Klebstoffelement bestehend, so dass kein ungereinigtes Abgas den Katalysator 1 zwischen dem Keramikträger und dem Gehäuse 2 umgehen kann. Das Loslager ist in dem gezeigten Fall das Lagerelement 3, dies kann auch aus zwei elastischen Klebstoffelementen bestehen, wobei das eine Klebstoffelement in geschlossener Ringform dann im Wesentlichen zur Zentrierung des Katalysators 1 im Gehäuse 2 dient.One of the bearings 3 or 4 is in each case as a so-called floating bearing and the other bearing is then designed as a so-called fixed bearing. In any case, the fixed bearing is made of a gas-tight adhesive element, so that no unpurified exhaust gas can bypass the catalyst 1 between the ceramic carrier and the housing 2. The floating bearing is in the case shown, the bearing element 3, this may also consist of two elastic adhesive elements, wherein the one adhesive element in closed ring shape then essentially serves for centering of the catalyst 1 in the housing 2.

Die Gehäuse können längs als Profilrohre oder in Halbschalenbauweise ausgeführt sein.The housings can be designed longitudinally as profile tubes or in half shell construction.

Die Klebstoffelemente weisen eine solche Zusammensetzung aus gefilzten Glasfasern und Keramikanteilen auf, dass eine Temperatur bis zu maximal 1700°C aufgenommen werden kann.The adhesive elements have such a composition of felted glass fibers and ceramic components that a temperature of up to a maximum of 1700 ° C. can be recorded.

Wie in der Schnittzeichnung Fig. 1 näher dargestellt, ist die stromauf gelegene Lagerung 3 einerseits in einem Eckbereich E von einem Übergang des Gehäuses 2 zu einem trichterförmigen Verbindungsrohr 8, 8a zum Abgasrohr R und andererseits eine Eckkante 9 des Keramikkatalysators 1 umgreifend angeordnet. Das Festlager 4 ist ebenfalls einerseits in einem Eckbereich E1 eines trichterförmigen Verbindungssrohres 10 zum Abgasrohr R1 und andererseits eine Eckkante 11 des Keramikkatalysators 1 umgreifend angeordnet. Diese derartig angeordneten Lagerungen 3, 4 bewirken neben einer stabilen und festen auch eine schwingungsisolierte Lagerung des Katalysators 1.As in the sectional drawing Fig. 1 shown in more detail, the upstream bearing 3 is arranged on the one hand in a corner E of a transition of the housing 2 to a funnel-shaped connecting pipe 8, 8a to the exhaust pipe R and on the other hand, a corner edge 9 of the ceramic catalyst 1 encompassing. The fixed bearing 4 is also arranged on the one hand in a corner region E1 of a funnel-shaped connecting tube 10 to the exhaust pipe R1 and on the other hand, a corner edge 11 of the ceramic catalyst 1 encompassing. These arranged bearings 3, 4 cause not only a stable and solid and a vibration-insulated storage of the catalyst. 1

Nach einer Ausführung kann der Keramikkatalysator 1 statt eines kreisförmigen Querschnitts auch einen ovalförmigen Querschnitt oder auch unregelmäßig geformte Querschnitte aufweisen und die elastischen Lagerelemente 3, 4 legen sich problemlos im Eckbereich E, E1 an und stützen den Katalysator 1 im Gehäuse 2 ab.According to one embodiment, instead of having a circular cross-section, the ceramic catalyst 1 may also have an oval-shaped cross-section or irregularly shaped cross-sections, and the elastic bearing elements 3, 4 abut easily in the corner region E, E1 and support the catalyst 1 in the housing 2.

Bei der Verwendung eines in Kombination mit dem Klebstoffelement als Lagerung verwendeten Drahtgestrickring kann dieser über eine Keramik-Metall-Lötung mit dem Katalysator 1 und/oder dem Gehäuse 2 verbunden werden.When using a Drahtgestrickring used in combination with the adhesive member as storage this can be connected via a ceramic-metal soldering to the catalyst 1 and / or the housing 2.
