Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technology of exhaust gas recirculation systems for introducing exhaust gases into an induction system.
  • exhaust gas recirculation systems have been proposed for returning a portion of exhaust gases to an induction system to improve the fuel economy in a low-load region of an engine and reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
  • the exhaust gas recirculation system includes a recirculation passageway which induces exhaust gases to enter the induction system.
  • the recirculation passageway is connected to an induction passageway through which fresh air flows in the induction system.
  • Fresh air mixes with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) gases at a connecting portion between the induction passageway and the recirculation passageway.
  • EGR exhaust Gas Recirculation
  • a mixture of fresh air and EGR gases flows downstream of the connecting portion.
  • the connecting construction between the induction passageway and the recirculation passageway will specifically be described.
  • An induction pipe which configures the induction passageway and a recirculation passageway pipe are connected to each other.
  • the recirculation passageway pipe is connected to the induction pipe so as to strike it from a side thereof. Therefore, EGR gases supplied from the recirculation passageway are supplied from one side portion of the induction pipe.
  • EGR gases are made difficult to be dispersed into the induction passageway in a region lying just downstream of the connecting portion.
  • EGR gas being made difficult to be dispersed within the induction passageway there is caused a state in which fresh air is separated from EGR gases in the induction passageway. Therefore, the flow velocity distribution of the mixture of fresh air and EGR gases which flow within the induction passageway does not become uniform within the section of the same flow path at a portion lying just downstream of the connecting portion.
  • a pressure applied to the compressor by the mixture of fresh air and EGR gases striking differs from portion to portion.
  • a hole is formed between the induction passageway and the annular path, and the induction passageway communicates with the annular path through the hole.
  • a recirculation passageway is connected to the annular path, whereby EGR gases are introduced thereinto.
  • the EGR gases so introduced into the annular path are introduced into the induction passageway in the circumferential direction through the hole (refer to Patent Document 1).

  • the system also has an inner hollow cylinder connected to the upstream intake pipe, disposed within the downstream intake pipe to define a gas passage between the periphery of the inner cylinder and an inner wall of the downstream intake pipe.
  • the gas passage communicates with the gas ventilation pipe and is said to serve as an isolating member for isolation flow of the gas entering downstream intake pipe through a gas ventilation pipe from swirls produced by intake air flowing downstream of the throttle valve from the upstream intake pipe.
  • EP 1 867 865 A1 discloses an exhaust gas recirculation mixer including a cylindrical wall having a centre axis, a substantially tubular wall defining a volute orientated about the centre axis, an inlet to the volute, an exit to the volute and a mount.
  • the exit to the volute is provided by one or more openings in the cylindrical wall wherein the volute imparts a tangential velocity component to gas exiting the volute.
  • the mount is adapted to mount the mixer to an inlet to a compressor.
  • the tangential velocity component imparted by the orientation of the volute is intended to follow the direction of the rotation of the compressor wheel.

  • the exhaust gas recirculation system may be configured such that: a first inner wall surface of the annular flow path which defines an upstream side opening edge of the inlet port at an upstream side of the introduction passageway intersects with an inner wall surface of the introduction passageway at a first angle, a second inner wall surface of the annular flow path which defines a downstream side opening edge of the inlet port at a downstream side of the introduction passageway intersects the inner wall surface of the introduction passageway at a second angle, and the second angle is larger than the first angle.

  • Fig. 6 also shows a width w1 of the flow path section at the inlet port 63 and the width w2 of the inner surface 65a of the bottom wall portion 65. Note that when used herein, the width w1 denotes a length of an opening of the inlet port 63 which follows the axis 61a of the main flow path 61.
  • FIG. 6 as an example, there are shown first and second flow path sections s1, s2 which pass through the first position P1 and the axis 61a of the main flow path 61 and third and fourth flow path sections s3, s4 which pass through the second position P2 and the axis 61a of the main flow path 61.
  • the annular flow path 62 shown in Fig. 6 is shown so as to show positions of the first to fourth flow sections s1 to s4 in the annular flow path 62, and hence, sizes of the first to fourth flow path sections s1 to s4 relative to the annular flow path 62 shown therein are not accurate.
  • the width w2 of the inner surface 65a of the bottom wall portion 65 is shortened continuously from the first position P1 towards the second position P2. In other words, the inner surface 65a is narrowed continuously from the first position P1 towards the second position P2. In addition, the width w2 of the inner surface 65a of the bottom wall portion 65 is lengthened in a range which extends along the one direction A1 from the second position P2 to the first position P1.
  • the width w1 of the inlet port 63 does not change. In other words, the width w1 of the inlet port 63 is constant along the circumferential direction.
  • the flow path section (the area of the flow path section) of the annular flow path 62 is set so as to decrease continuously as the annular flow path 62 extends downstream from the first flow path section s1 to the fourth flow path section s4.

  • the exhaust gases G which flow into the exhaust gas introduction flow path 80 then flow into the annular flow path 62 from the exhaust gas introduction flow path 80.
  • the exhaust gases G which flow into the annular flow path 62 then flow downstream from the first position P1 along the one direction A1. As this occurs, as is shown in the figure, the exhaust gases G flow mainly along the inner surface 65a of the bottom wall portion 65 by virtue of a centrifugal force due to the bottom wall portion 65 which is curved in an annular fashion.

  • the exhaust gases G which flow along the inner surface 65a are pushed towards a center side of the annular flow path 62 or towards the inlet port 63 side. According to this configuration, even in the event that the amount of exhaust gases G decreases and the momentum of the flow of exhaust gases G weakens as the exhaust gases G flow towards the second position P2, the exhaust gases G which are pushed towards the inlet port 63 side flow into the main flow path 61.

  • Fresh air N which has passed through the air cleaner 21 mixes evenly with exhaust gases G in the main flow path 61.

  • Pressure applied to the compressor 71 becomes even in every position due to the flow velocity distribution becoming substantially even in the position in the induction passageway 23 which lies just downstream of the main flow path 61.
  • Fig. 7 is a side view of a portion of the induction passageway 23 which lies in the vicinity of the throttle valve 24 as seen from a side thereof.

  • the constriction portion 110 is provided, whereby since there is generated a current vector which is directed towards the axial center of the induction passageway 23, the dead water region 120 is moved to the downstream side.

In other words, the constriction portion 110 is formed so that the dead water region 120 is not formed in the main flow path 61 or further downstream of the main flow path 61.
  • fresh air N which flows into the main flow path 61 from the induction passageway 23 is guided in the direction of the axial center of the main flow path 61 by the existence of the constriction portion 110, whereby fresh air can be prevented from flowing into the annular flow path 62.

  • the width w2 of the inner surface 65a is made to decrease continuously as the annular flow path 62 extends downstream along the one direction A1, whereby the amount of exhaust gases G which flow into the main flow path 61 from the inlet port 63 becomes even in every position in the inlet port 63. Because of this, the flow velocity distribution of the mixture M becomes even in the region in the induction passageway 23 which lies further downstream than the main flow path 61.
  • the drawbacks include a contact of the compressor 71 with a housing 71a which accommodates the compressor 71 and wear generated between a rotating shaft 73 of the compressor 71 and a bearing 72 which supports the rotating shaft 73.
