Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zylinderkopf mit angeschlossenem Auspuffkrümmer einer Brennkraftmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cylinder head with a connected exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.

In einer allgemein bekannten Anordnung weist der Zylinderkopf nach einem Auslassventil einen Abgaskanal auf, der an einer äußeren Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche endet. An dieser Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche ist mittels einer Verschraubung ein Auspuffkrümmer mit einer zugeordneten Auspuffkrümmer-Anschlussfläche angeschlossen, dergestalt, dass der Abgaskanal des Zylinderkopfs im Auspuffkrümmer weitergeführt wird.In a well known arrangement, the cylinder head has an exhaust passage downstream of an exhaust valve that terminates at an outer cylinder head interface. An exhaust manifold with an associated exhaust manifold connection surface is connected to this cylinder head connection surface by means of a screw connection, in such a way that the exhaust duct of the cylinder head is continued in the exhaust manifold.

Für einen abgasdichten Anschluss des Auspuffkrümmers am Zylinderkopf ist zwischen der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche und der Auspuffkrümmer-Anschlussfläche eine Auspuffkrümmerabdichtung angebracht. Ein derartiger abgasdichter Anschluss des Zylinderkopfs am Abgaskrümmer ist beispielsweise aus der US 5,414,993 A bekannt. Im Bereich des Abgaskanals liegen im Zylinderkopf von einem Kühlmittel durchströmte Kühlmittelkanäle. Je nach Anzahl der Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine und deren Anordnung weist ein Zylinderkopf mehrere Abgaskanäle auf, an die jeweils Auspuffkrümmer eines Abgassammlers angeschlossen sind.For an exhaust-tight connection of the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head, an exhaust manifold seal is fitted between the cylinder head interface and the exhaust manifold interface. Such an exhaust-tight connection of the cylinder head on the exhaust manifold is for example from the US 5,414,993 A known. In the area of the exhaust gas passage, coolant passages through which coolant flows are located in the cylinder head. Depending on the number of cylinders of the internal combustion engine and their arrangement, a cylinder head has a plurality of exhaust ducts, are connected to the respective exhaust manifold of an exhaust manifold.

Bei einer Brennkraftmaschine wird das heiße Abgas über den Abgaskanal in den Auspuffkrümmer, gegebenenfalls in einen Turbolader und dann weiter über Schalldämpfer ins Freie geleitet. Bei einer üblicherweise flüssigkeitsgekühlten Brennkraftmaschine wird viel Wärmeenergie in das den Zylinderkopf durchströmende Kühlmedium abgegeben. Dadurch können Bauteile in Abgaskanalnähe thermisch unzulässig belastet und gegebenenfalls geschädigt werden. Zudem wird dadurch dem Abgas Energie entzogen, die durch Energieumsetzung beispielsweise in einem nachgeschalteten Abgasturbolader genutzt werden könnte.In an internal combustion engine, the hot exhaust gas is passed via the exhaust passage in the exhaust manifold, possibly in a turbocharger and then on via silencers to the outside. In a usually liquid-cooled internal combustion engine, a large amount of heat energy is released into the cooling medium flowing through the cylinder head. As a result, components in the vicinity of the exhaust duct can be thermally loaded inadmissibly and, if necessary, damaged. In addition, the exhaust gas is thereby deprived of energy, which could be used by energy conversion, for example, in a downstream exhaust gas turbocharger.

Es sind bereits Maßnahmen im Stand der Technik bekannt, mit denen eine solche thermische Belastung reduziert werden soll. Bei einer ersten bekannten Maßnahme wird an der Innenwand des Auslasskanals eine thermisch isolierende Beschichtung angebracht (FA. NEMAK GmbH). Bei einer anderen Maßnahme, die ebenfalls die thermische Belastung reduzieren soll, ist der Abgaskanal im Zylinderkopf komplett in Keramik ausgeführt. Ersichtlich handelt es sich hier nachteilig um aufwendige, kostenintensive Lösungen. Zudem sind auch hier unabhängig von der angestrebten Reduzierung der thermischen Belastung für den abgasdichten Anschluss eines Auspuffkrümmers separate Auspuffkrümmerabdichtungen vorzusehen.There are already known measures in the prior art, with which such a thermal load to be reduced. In a first known measure, a thermally insulating coating is applied to the inner wall of the outlet channel (FA.NEMAK GmbH). In another measure, which should also reduce the thermal load, the exhaust passage in the cylinder head is completely made of ceramics. Obviously, this is disadvantageous to elaborate, cost-intensive solutions. In addition, too Provide separate exhaust manifold seals regardless of the desired reduction in thermal load for the exhaust-tight connection of an exhaust manifold.

Die US 4,096,690 A zeigt einen gattungsbildenden Zylinderkopf mit einem Abgaskanal, in dem ein Einsatz eingesetzt ist. Der Einsatz hat einen endseitigen Flanschabschnitt und radial abstehende Rippen. Mit dem Einsatz aus Metall wird unter anderem verhindert, dass Wärme des Abgases entweicht. Darüber hinaus weist der Einsatz mehrere Öffnungen auf, durch die dem Abgasstrom Luft zugeführt werden kann.The US 4,096,690 A shows a generic cylinder head with an exhaust passage in which an insert is inserted. The insert has an end flange portion and radially projecting ribs. The use of metal prevents, among other things, that heat of the exhaust gas escapes. In addition, the insert has a plurality of openings through which the exhaust gas flow air can be supplied.

Auch aus der US2013/220265 A1 ist ein Einsatz im Abgaskanal eines Zylinderkopfs bekannt, und die DE 28 48 110 A1 zeigt einen Einsatz mit einem Ringflansch (17a).Also from the US2013 / 220265 A1 is known an insert in the exhaust passage of a cylinder head, and the DE 28 48 110 A1 shows an insert with an annular flange (17a).

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, mit einer einfachen, kostengünstigen Lösung die thermische Belastung im Bereich eines Abgaskanals des Zylinderkopfs zu reduzieren und zudem eine einfache kostengünstige Auspuffkrümmerabdichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen.The object of the invention is to reduce the thermal load in the region of an exhaust passage of the cylinder head with a simple, cost-effective solution and also to provide a simple inexpensive Auspuffkrümmerabdichtung available.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 ist ein Zylinderkopf mit einem angeschlossenen Auspuffkrümmer einer Brennkraftmaschine vorgesehen, wobei der Zylinderkopf wenigstens einen Abgaskanal aufweist, der an einer äußeren Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche endet, an der mit einer zugeordneten Auspuffkrümmer-Anschlussfläche der den Abgaskanal weiterführende Auspuffkrümmer angeschlossen ist, vorzugsweise mittels wenigstens einer Schraubverbindung angeschlossen ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist in den Abgaskanal des Zylinderkopfs ein Flanschbuchsen-Einsatz aus einem Buchsenteil und einem endseitigen Flanschteil eingesetzt. Das Buchsenteil weist wenigstens eine radial abstehende, umlaufende Sicke als Abstandshalter und Dichtelement auf, mit der das Buchsenteil an der Abgaskanal-Innenwand anliegt. Das Flanschteil ragt ringscheibenförmig radial am äußeren Ende der Flanschbuchse ab und ist zwischen der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche und der Auspuffkrümmer-Anschlussfläche dicht eingespannt, und zwar bevorzugt als Dichtflansch eingespannt, höchst bevorzugt als Dichtflansch und zur axialen Buchsenfixierung eingespannt, dergestalt, dass zwischen der Abgaskanal-Innenwand und der Buchsenteil-Außenwand sowie zwischen dem Flanschteil und einer axial nächstliegenden Sicke und/oder zwischen zwei axial nebeneinanderliegenden Sicken ein von einer Abgasströmung abgekoppelter, thermisch isolierender, umlaufender Isolierspalt mit einer Spaltbreite entsprechend der Sickenhöhe gebildet ist.According to claim 1, a cylinder head with a connected exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine is provided, wherein the cylinder head has at least one exhaust passage, which ends at an outer cylinder head surface, is connected to the associated with an associated exhaust manifold connecting surface of the exhaust passage continuing exhaust manifold, preferably by means of at least a screw connection is connected. According to the invention, a flange bush insert made of a bushing part and an end flange part is inserted into the exhaust gas passage of the cylinder head. The bushing part has at least one radially projecting, peripheral bead as a spacer and sealing element, with which the bushing part rests against the exhaust-gas channel inner wall. The flange protrudes radially in an annular disk-shaped manner at the outer end of the flange bushing and is tightly clamped between the cylinder head connection surface and the exhaust manifold connecting surface, preferably clamped as a sealing flange, most preferably clamped as a sealing flange and for axial bushing fixation, such that between the exhaust duct Inner wall and the female part outer wall and between the flange and an axially closest bead and / or between two axially adjacent beads is formed by a flow of exhaust separated, thermally insulating, circumferential insulating gap with a gap width corresponding to the bead height is formed.

Vorteilhaft hat der einfach ausgebildete und kostengünstig herstellbare Flanschbuchsen-Einsatz zwei Funktionen, nämlich die thermische Isolierung des Abgaskanals sowie die Abdichtung des Auspuffkrümmers. Diese beiden Funktionen sind hier in einem einzigen Bauteil integriert mit Vorteilen bei der Herstellung, Beschaffung, Logistik und Montage.Advantageously, the simply trained and inexpensive to produce flange bushing insert has two functions, namely the thermal insulation of the exhaust passage and the sealing of the exhaust manifold. These two functions are integrated into a single component with advantages in manufacturing, procurement, logistics and assembly.

Mit einer sich über die gesamte Abgaskanallänge des Zylinderkopfs erstreckenden Buchsenteillänge, gegebenenfalls auch bereits mit einer Teillänge, wird eine thermische Isolierung des Abgaskanals im Zylinderkopf erreicht, womit dessen Wärmebelastung deutlich reduziert werden kann. Damit wird erreicht, dass einerseits weniger Wärmeenergie über das Kühlmedium abgeführt werden muss, so dass dadurch vorteilhaft die Dimension einer Kühlanlage reduziert werden kann. Andererseits verbleibt durch die thermische Isolierung mehr Wärmeenergie im Abgas, die für eine erhöhte Energieumsetzung insbesondere in einem Abgasturbolader genutzt werden kann.With an extending over the entire exhaust passage length of the cylinder head bush pitch, possibly even with a partial length, a thermal insulation of the exhaust passage is achieved in the cylinder head, whereby the heat load can be significantly reduced. This ensures that, on the one hand, less heat energy has to be dissipated via the cooling medium, so that advantageously the dimension of a cooling system can be reduced. On the other hand remains through the thermal insulation more heat energy in the exhaust gas, which can be used for increased energy conversion, especially in an exhaust gas turbocharger.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass durch das zwischen dem Abgaskanal und dem Auspuffkrümmer dichtend fixierte Flanschteil auch das damit verbundene Buchsenteil axial unverrutschbar und verdrehfest im Abgaskanal fixiert ist.A further advantage consists in that the bushing part connected thereto is fixed in the exhaust duct so as to be axially non-slidable and rotationally fixed by the flange part sealingly fixed between the exhaust duct and the exhaust manifold.

Die thermische Isolation erfolgt hier im Wesentlichen durch das Prinzip der Luftspaltisolierung im Isolierspalt.The thermal insulation takes place here essentially by the principle of air gap insulation in the insulating gap.

Anstelle von Luft kann alternativ zumindest in Teilbereichen des Isolierspalts auf der Buchsenteil-Außenwand auch ein thermisches Isolierelement und/oder -material, vorzusweise in der Isolierspaltbreite, angebracht sein, insbesondere als Beschichtung und/oder als aufgesteckte Isoliermaterialbuchse und/oder als z.B. aufgesteckte Isoliermaterialschale(n).Alternatively, instead of air, a thermal insulating element and / or material, preferably in the Isolierspaltbreite, at least in partial areas of the insulating gap on the female part outer wall, be mounted, in particular as a coating and / or plugged Isoliermaterialbuchse and / or as e.g. mounted insulating material shell (s).

Zweckmäßig wird der Flanschbuchsen-Einsatz einstückig und/oder materialeinheitlich aus einem hitzebeständigen und/oder elastischen Material, insbesondere aus einem metallischen Werkstoff, hergestellt.Suitably, the flange bushing insert is made in one piece and / or of the same material of a heat-resistant and / or elastic material, in particular of a metallic material.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann zur Ausbildung eines möglichst axial langen Isolierspalts wenigstens eine Sicke im axialen Buchsenteilendbereich gegenüberliegend zum Flanschteil angeordnet werden.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, at least one bead in the axial bushing part end region opposite to the flange part can be arranged to form an axially as possible insulating gap.

Gemäß einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung entspricht die Buchsenteillänge möglichst der Abgaskanallänge im Zylinderkopf.According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the Buchsenteillänge corresponds as far as the exhaust duct length in the cylinder head.

Das Flanschteil liegt gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten konkreten Ausgestaltung und insbesondere für eine exakte Anordnung und/oder Fixierung in einer Ringnut der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche ein.The flange is according to a particularly preferred specific embodiment and in particular for an exact arrangement and / or fixing in an annular groove of the cylinder head pad.

Wie bereits zuvor erwähnt, ist das Flanschteil zwischen der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche und der Auspuffkrümmer-Anschlussfläche bevorzugt als Dichtflansch oder als Dichtflansch und zur axialen Buchsenfixierung eingespannt. Hierzu ist erfindungsgemäß der Flanschteil axial mit wenigstens einer umlaufenden, vorzugsweise elastisch ausgebildeten Sicke an der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche, vorzugsweise in der Ringnut der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche, abgestützt. Bevorzugt ragt der Flanschteil hier so axial in Richtung des Auspuffkrümmers ab bzw. steht so über, dass dieser bei der Montage das Flanschteil als Dichtelement einspannt. Zusätzlich zur Sicke kann am Flanschteil aber auch ein in Richtung des Auspuffkrümmers ragender, insbesondere abragender bzw. überstehender, Dichtring vorgesehen werden.As already mentioned above, the flange part between the cylinder head connection surface and the exhaust manifold connection surface is preferably clamped as a sealing flange or as a sealing flange and for axial bushing fixation. For this purpose, according to the invention, the flange part is supported axially with at least one encircling, preferably elastically formed bead on the cylinder head connection surface, preferably in the annular groove of the cylinder head connection surface. Preferably, the flange protrudes here so axially from in the direction of the exhaust manifold or is so over that it clamps the flange as a sealing element during assembly. In addition to the bead can be provided on the flange but also a projecting in the direction of the exhaust manifold, in particular projecting or protruding, sealing ring.

Die thermische Isolierung eines Abgaskanals mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Flanschbuchsen-Einsatz kann insbesondere bei einer Brennkraftmaschine eines Fahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Nutzfahrzeugs, eingesetzt werden.The thermal insulation of an exhaust duct with the flange bush insert according to the invention can be used in particular in an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, in particular of a commercial vehicle.

Anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung wird die Erfindung weiter beispielhaft näher erläutert.Based on a schematic drawing, the invention will be further explained by way of example.

Dadurch wird entsprechend der Sickenhöhe zwischen dem Flanschteil 12 und der Sicke 13b ein thermisch isolierender, umlaufender Isolierspalt 14 als Luftspalt ausgebildet.In a first, inventive embodiment according to FIG. 2a (upper area of FIG. 2 ), the bushing part 11 opposite to the flange 12 has two adjacent beads 13 a, 13 b as spacers and sealing elements with which the female part 11 abuts the exhaust passage inner wall. As a result, a thermally insulating, circumferential insulating gap 14 is formed as an air gap corresponding to the bead height between the flange 12 and the bead 13b.

In einer zweiten, nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform nach Figur 2b (unterer Bereich von Figur 2) ist gegenüberliegend zum Flanschteil 12 nur eine umlaufende Sicke als Abstandshalter und Dichtelement angebracht und das Buchsenteil weist außenseitig ein thermisches Isolierelement und/oder -material, hier beispielsweise eine Beschichtung 16 mit thermisch isolierendem Material, auf, die den Luftspalt der ersten Ausführungsform nach Figur 2a ausfüllt und sich hier lediglich beispielhaft noch in den Bereich des Flanschteils 12 erstreckt. Alternativ zur Beschichtung könnte auch eine aufsteckbare Isoliermaterial-Buche oder wenigstens eine Isoliermaterial- Schale vorgesehen werden, die dann bezüglich des gezeigten Einbauzustandes im Wesentlichen baugleich mit der Beschichtung 16 ausgebildet sind.In a second, non-inventive embodiment according to FIG. 2b (lower area of FIG. 2 ) is opposite to the flange 12 only a circumferential bead as a spacer and sealing element attached and the socket part has on the outside a thermal insulating element and / or material, here for example a coating 16 with thermally insulating material, which the air gap of the first embodiment according to FIG. 2a fills and here only by way of example still extends into the region of the flange 12. As an alternative to the coating, it would also be possible to provide an attachable insulating material beech or at least one insulating material shell, which are then constructed substantially identically to the coating 16 with respect to the installation state shown.

Das Flanschteil 12 liegt hier beispielhaft bei beiden Ausführungsformen nach Figur 2a und Figur 2b jeweils in einer Ringnut 17 der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche 6 ein. In der ersten Ausführungsform nach Figur 2a stützt sich der Flanschteil 12 axial mit einer umlaufenden, elastischen Sicke 18 an der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche 6 bzw. in der Ringnut 17 der Zylinderkopf-Anschlussfläche 6 ab und ragt axial in Richtung des Auspuffkrümmers 8 so ab bzw. steht so über, dass dieser bei der Montage das Flanschteil 12 als Dichtelement einspannt. In der Ausführungsform nach Figur 2b ist hier beispielsweise am Flanschteil 12 ein in Richtung des Auspuffkrümmers 8 ragender Dichtring 19, gegebenenfalls materialeinheitlich mit der Beschichtung 16, aufgebracht. Erfindungsgemäß kann der Dichtring 19 in Kombination mit der Sicke 19 verwendet werden, d.h. die Sickenlösung 18 in Verbindung mit der Ausgestaltung im unteren Bereich der Figur 2b.The flange 12 is exemplary here in both embodiments Figure 2a and 2b each in an annular groove 17 of the cylinder head pad 6 a. In the first embodiment according to FIG. 2a The flange 12 is supported axially with an encircling, elastic bead 18 on the cylinder head connection surface 6 or in the annular groove 17 of the cylinder head connection surface 6 and protrudes axially in the direction of the exhaust manifold 8 from or is so over that this at the assembly clamps the flange 12 as a sealing element. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2b Here, for example, on the flange 12 a projecting in the direction of the exhaust manifold 8 sealing ring 19, optionally of the same material with the coating 16, applied. According to the invention, the sealing ring 19 can be used in combination with the bead 19, ie the bead solution 18 in conjunction with the embodiment in the lower region of the FIG. 2b ,

Mit dem Flanschbuchsen-Einsatz 10 sind hier zwei Funktionen, nämlich die thermische Isolierung des Abgaskanals 1 mit dem Buchsenteil 11 und die Abdichtung des Auspuffkrümmers 8 mit dem Flanschteil 12 in einem einzigen Bauteil kombiniert, dessen Herstellung und Montage auf sehr einfache Weise möglich ist.With the flange bushing insert 10 here two functions, namely the thermal insulation of the exhaust passage 1 with the female part 11 and the sealing of the exhaust manifold 8 are combined with the flange 12 in a single component, its manufacture and assembly is possible in a very simple manner.
