Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing exhaust gas-carrying devices, in particular exhaust gas purification devices, each having an outer housing and an insert clamped therein.
- the exhaust gas-carrying devices which are involved in the invention are, for example, mufflers, but in particular exhaust-gas purification devices, such as catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.
- the insertion and clamping of the insert in the outer housing is usually done either by winding a sheet metal jacket around the insert, by inserting the insert into a tube with or without subsequent calibration or closing of trays. If the applied force is too large, it can lead to the destruction of the inserter, that is to say in the case of catalysts of the substrate.
- the elastic compensation element typically the bearing mat
- the outer housing ensures a pressure equalization and a constant bias.
- the disadvantage of this bearing mat is that, after it is compressed, it is subjected to a certain setting process, one speaks of relaxation, so that the pressure passed through it to the substrate decreases.
- the spring back of the outer housing after insertion and clamping also causes the initially applied pressure on the substrate and thus the applied clamping force decreases.
- the holding pressure of the bearing mat decreases during operation (eg due to aging).
- the outer housing can exert even more initial pressure on the inserter, which is why the limits of stability are encountered with individual substrates.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which also ensures the inserts for a sufficiently secure clamping in the outer casing with minimal reject rates.
- the necessary holding pressure is determined once and adjusted the outer geometry of the housing to obtain this pressure.
- a constant force is used to deform the outer housing and thus to ensure the desired holding pressure. This is done regardless of the load capacity and individually required holding pressure for each depositor.
- the invention takes a different route by installing the necessary holding power for each individual Depositor first determined, and then, depending on this capacity, to match the clamping force through the outer housing thereon.
- the required holding force depends on the mass of the insert and can basically be determined by the following formula:
- Holding force mass of the insert x max. Acceleration during operation + frontal pressure difference x cross-sectional area of the substrate.
- Holding force coefficient of friction x pressure of an elastic compensating element x clamping surface of the elastic compensating element x operating coefficient (for example for temperature, aging, etc.)
- the elastic compensation element is usually clamped between insert and inside of the outer housing.
- the hitherto conventional methods which take into account the outer diameter of the insert or the pressure of the compensating element, disregards the clearly fluctuating weight of the insert, including its weight tolerance-bearing coating, so that possibly too much holding force is exerted on the substrate and this therefore unnecessarily loaded or selected Holding pressure is too low.
- coating can be used for a conventional automotive catalytic converter
- the clamping force adapted to it is determined and applied to it by providing an outer housing which is tailor-made with regard to geometry.
- Outer casing to be customized This does not necessarily mean that only after determination of the weight of the tailor-made outer casing is made. It is quite possible to make outer casings of different geometries or their individual parts beforehand and then the
- the geometry of the outer housing should preferably also not be optimized exclusively depending on the determined weight, but also with regard to other data, which will be discussed in more detail below.
- the weight can be determined by measuring the external geometry (e.g., only by measuring the cross-section or diameter of the insert). This determination takes place, for example, via the density calculation or via a so-called assignment matrix. In such an assignment matrix, the assigned weights are stored for different outer geometries, so that without further calculation, the weight immediately comes into play with the measured outer geometry.
- Outer housing an elastic compensation element whose weight can also be determined, so that the geometry of the outer housing may also be determined depending on the compensation element, i. is tuned to it. Since the elastic compensation element is to form a unit with the substrate and is to be secured against displacement, the consideration of the weight of the compensation element ensures a more accurate determination of the tailored outer geometry and clamping force.
- the weight of the compensating element is usually significantly lower than the weight of the substrate and also subject to significantly lower tolerances.
- Depositors lateral, in particular radial pressure are exerted.
- For a specific elastic deformation of the necessary pressure is then determined, preferably measured. This can be the density of the Determine the balancing element, which then uses the weight to determine the optimum geometry of the outer housing.
- All determined data for determining the geometry of the outer housing are fed into a controller, preferably fully automatically by coupling with the measuring devices.
- the controller then determines the custom geometry.
- the controller is simultaneously coupled to the tool which brings the outer housing to the desired geometry.
- the device produced by the method of the invention is, in the preferred embodiment, an exhaust gas catalyst or diesel particulate filter, both of which are provided with a pressure sensitive substrate as the core of the insert.
- the pressure exerted on the inserter is normally directed radially inwardly, which of course depends on the shape of the outer housing. This need not be circular cylindrical in cross-section, but may also be out of round, e.g. angular, running.
- the housing is designed in particular as a sheet-metal housing.
- the method according to the invention can be applied to all hitherto known methods for producing exhaust gas-conducting devices.
- a first method is the so-called winding, in which a plate-shaped sheet metal section is wound around the insert and then fastened and closed at its edges after reaching the predetermined internal dimensions.
- a second method is the calibration, is pressed against the outside of the circumference of the prefabricated tube against this to plastically deform and press against the insert.
- a third method provides a housing of several shells, which are pressed against the insert and then secured together.
- a fourth embodiment provides a so-called stuffing method.
- several cylindrical housings with different internal dimensions are prefabricated.
- the inner dimension of the housing is determined, which ensures the desired pressure.
- the housing can be used with the appropriate dimensions to insert the end face of the insert into the housing.
- the internal geometry of the housing can be steplessly adjusted individually to the insert.
- a categorization is made and a corresponding weight category associated with the geometry of the housing is used. This may make it possible to dispense with weighing the substrates, since these are usually already supplied by the manufacturer sorted by weight groups (usually in the categories light, medium and heavy).
- weight groups usually in the categories light, medium and heavy.
- a particular geometry may be used for a substrate of a particular weight class or category.

- FIG. 2 shows schematic views of measuring devices used in the method according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a calibration tool used in the method according to the invention, partly in section
- FIG. 4 shows an end view of a device produced by the method according to the invention, wherein the outer housing is wound
- FIG. 5 shows an end view of a device produced by the method according to the invention with an outer housing produced from shells
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the alternative used in the inventive method plug.
- Figure 1 is a housed in a motor vehicle exhaust-leading
- the vehicle exhaust purification device is either an exhaust catalyst or a diesel particulate filter or a combination of both.
- an elongated, cylindrical substrate 10 which consists for example of a ceramic substrate or a type of wound corrugated cardboard or another catalytic support or filter material with or without coating.
- the substrate 10 may have a circular cylindrical cross section or a non-circular cross section. For the sake of simplicity, a circular-cylindrical cross-section is shown in the figures.
- the substrate is surrounded by a bearing mat 12, which acts as an elastic compensation element between the substrate 10 and an outer housing 14.
- the outer housing 14 is made very thin-walled and in particular made of sheet metal. Upstream and downstream, an inflow funnel 16 and an outflow funnel 18 are connected to the outer housing 14, respectively.
- the substrate 10 together with the bearing mat 12 is a prefabricated unit.
- exhaust gas flows through the inlet funnel 16 end face in the substrate 10 and leaves with fewer pollutants finally provided the substrate 10 on the opposite end face to leave the cleaning device via the outlet funnel 18.
- the preparation of the cleaning device will be explained below with reference to Figures 2 and 3.
- FIG. 2 shows various measuring stations with which properties of each individual inserter to be installed (substrate 10 or its bearing mat 12) are determined with regard to an optimized, matched clamping force in the housing 14.
- the substrate 10 may be measured alone or as a unit together with the bearing mat 12. If in the following so only the depositor is mentioned, so it is automatically expressed also that the substrate 10 alone or alternatively, the unit of substrate 10 and bearing mat 12 can be measured.
- the outer diameter or the entire outer geometry (shape and outer dimensions) of the insert is determined by means of preferably non-contact measuring sensors 21.
- the measuring sensors 21 are connected to a controller 24, in which the measured values obtained for the
- the weight of the insert is determined on a balance 23, which is also coupled to the controller 24. Again, the data obtained are stored in the controller 24.
- the weight can be extrapolated even without the balance 23 alone on the determination of the outer geometry.
- a measuring device is provided in which the
- the insert is positioned in the device and distributed by at least one pressure jaw 20, preferably three or more circumferentially
- Pressure jaws radially inwardly increasingly loaded. With the jaws 20 are Load cells 22 coupled, which constantly scan the applied force F. The force F can then also be used to determine the pressure acting inwardly on the insert laterally on the circumference.
- the applied to the depositor force F is steadily increased until reaching a predetermined gap S between the substrate 10 and pressure jaws 20.
- the measuring device is coupled to the controller 24, which calculates the density and the weight of the bearing mat 12 via the pressure.
- Control 24 determines a geometry matched to at least the individual weight of the outer housing (preferably taking into account the exact outer dimensions, a settlement factor and the compliance), which can be done by arithmetic or by comparison with a stored in the control 24 allocation matrix.
- the individual geometry is designed to achieve the required, individually tailored to the depositor and exercising clamping force.
- the insert is now installed in a next step with its tailor-made outer housing, wherein the tailoring of the outer housing or the use of a corresponding matching outer housing can be done in different ways, as will be explained below with reference to FIGS 3 to 6 by way of example.
- FIG. 3 shows a calibration device.
- This includes numerous circular segment-shaped, radially movable jaws 26 which can close to form a ring.
- the circular cylindrical tubular outer housing 14 is placed, in which the insert is inserted axially.
- the jaws 26 are then moved radially inward, wherein the previously determined in the controller 24 values are used with respect to the geometry of the outer housing 14. That is, the previously determined by the controller 24 desired dimensions of the outer housing 14 are achieved by a path-controlled movement of the jaws 26 with simultaneous plastic deformation of the outer housing 14.
- the condition is, of course, that the Insert was positioned almost free of play before deformation in the outer housing 14 or the game was taken into account in the deformation.
- the pressure applied to the insert by the plastically deformed outer housing 14 corresponds to the desired pressure.
- the calibration can also by means
- Rolls take place, which are pressed against the outer housing with therein depositor laterally to the predetermined travel and rotated. Also, a so-called pressing is possible in this context, in which the outer housing 14 is moved with insert disposed therein relative to the predetermined travel against a single role and then a relative rotation between the roller and the outer housing together with insert takes place, so that the roller circumferentially pushes into the outer housing and this plastically deformed inward.
- a metal strip is wrapped around the insert.
- the sheet metal strip then forms the outer housing 14.
- the overlapping edges 30, 32 are welded together, after they have been pushed over one another so far that the inner dimension on the inside of the resulting outer housing 14 correspond to the determined values, as previously determined.
- the embodiment shown in Figure 5 operates with two or more shells 34, 36 which are telescoped. Again, the shells 34, 36 wegrange or pressure controlled or force-controlled as far as pushed into each other until the inner dimensions correspond to the determined dimensions. The shells 34, 36 are then z. B. welded together, folded or soldered.
- FIG. 6 symbolizes the so-called plugging.
- the desired dimensions of the outer housing are determined.
- a cylindrical, tubular outer housing 14 with the desired Diameter made. This calibration can be done in one or more work cycles or in a continuous process (eg rolling).
- the insert is stuffed axially into the selected outer housing 14.
- corresponding funnel-shaped aids are provided here.
- the shells 34, 36 according to FIG. 5 can already be shaped in advance to the desired dimensions, similar to that described in connection with FIG.
- the method described leads to a better quality of the manufactured device with low capital investment for the devices.
