  • connection units are used in exhaust systems of internal combustion engines in vehicles in order to produce a fixed and essentially exhaust gas-tight connection between different exhaust gas-carrying assemblies.
  • such connecting units are to be produced in the transition area between a so-called "hot end”, i.e. an area of an exhaust system carrying very hot exhaust gases near an internal combustion engine, and a "cold end”, i.e. an area of an exhaust system carrying exhaust gases which have already cooled down somewhat.
  • connection unit is known from JP 2000 136722 A known.
  • a connecting tube partially engaging in a through-opening of a ring-disc-like connecting element has a plurality of circular welding openings following one another in the circumferential direction, which are partially covered by an inner peripheral surface of the through-opening.

  • connection assembly according to the preamble of claim 5 with a connection unit, in which a connection tube is inserted into a passage opening of an annular disk-like Connecting element is used in such a way that this survives on a connecting side of the connecting element.
  • a counter-connection element of the connection assembly to be connected to the connection element with a ring-like sealing element interposed has an opening which, when the connection element and counter-connection element are connected to one another, is opposite the access opening in such a way that the part of the connection pipe protruding on the connection side of the connection element does not engage in it .
  • connection unit for connecting two exhaust gas-carrying assemblies of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, which meets the requirements for exhaust gas tightness while being easy to assemble.
  • connection unit is characterized in that the connection tube is connected to the connection element in the area of the inner peripheral surface by welding.
  • the connection pipe can protrude with a centering section on the connection side of the connection element.
  • connection unit Various advantageous aspects are realized in this connection unit.
  • the connection of the connecting element to the connecting tube in the area of the inner peripheral surface of the connecting tube ensures that Production of the welded joint deformations in particular of the connecting element can be largely avoided. Very good gas-tightness is thus achieved when a connection is produced between the connecting element and a counter-connecting element.
  • the aspect of providing a centering section on the connection unit facilitates the assembly of an exhaust system by means of the centering function introduced by means of this centering section with respect to a counter-connection element.
  • the connecting pipe has at least one welding opening that completely penetrates a pipe wall of the connecting pipe in its length region axially overlapped by the inner peripheral surface, and the connecting pipe is formed by a welding opening in the at least one welding opening Welding connected to the connecting element.

  • the connecting assembly can comprise at least one connecting member for firmly connecting the connecting element to the counter-connecting element.
  • the at least one connecting member comprises a connecting bolt that passes through the connecting element and/or the counter-connecting element.
  • the centering function can be provided particularly efficiently in that, when the counter-connection element is connected to the connection element, the reach-through opening and the centering opening are essentially congruent with one another.
  • congruent means that the two openings are provided or arranged with the same opening cross-section geometry, the same opening cross-section size and the same radial positioning with respect to the longitudinal axis of the pipe.
  • the centering section of the connecting tube can engage in the centering opening when the counter-connecting element is connected to the connecting element.
  • the invention further relates to an exhaust system, comprising a connecting assembly constructed according to the invention, a first exhaust-carrying assembly being connected to the connecting pipe and a second exhaust-carrying assembly being connected to the counter-connecting element.

  • two, for example, tubular, exhaust-carrying assemblies 16, 18 of the exhaust system 10 are connected to one another by a connecting assembly 20.
  • connection assembly 20 comprises a connection unit 22 that is preferably connected to the "hotend” 12, i.e. the tubular assembly 16, and a ring-disc-like one that is connected to the connection unit 22 in the manner described below and connected to the "coldend” 14 or the assembly 18 Counter-connector 24.
  • the connecting unit 22 comprises a connecting element 26 to be connected to the counter-connecting element 24.
  • This is also designed in the manner of an annular disk and has a through-opening 28 which is shaped like a circle, for example.
  • a preferably substantially cylindrical connecting pipe 30 extending in the direction of a pipe longitudinal axis L is inserted into the reach-through opening 28 .
  • the outer diameter of the pipe wall 32 of the connecting pipe 30 is matched to the inner diameter of the access opening 28 in such a way that when the connecting pipe 30 is inserted into the access opening 28 , it is accommodated in the access opening 28 essentially without play.
  • the connecting tube 30 in the example shown has a plurality of welding openings 38, preferably designed in the form of slotted holes, which follow one another in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis L.
  • These welding openings 38 pass through the pipe wall 32 of the connecting pipe 30 so that basically in the area of the welding openings 38 when the connecting pipe 30 is inserted into the reach-through opening 28 the inner peripheral surface 36 is exposed towards the inside, ie is not covered.
  • a weld 37 is formed in the region of each of the welding openings 38, preferably essentially filling them completely and thus creating a material-locking connection between the connecting tube 30 and the connecting element 26.
  • welds 37 formed in the welding openings 38 can be guided over the webs 39 in the circumferential direction in order to to form welds 41 there as well.
  • the welds 41 running in the area of these webs 39 along the inner peripheral surface of the connecting tube 30 also lead to a material connection between the connecting tube 30 on its outer peripheral surface 34 and the connecting element 26 on its inner peripheral surface 36 due to the heat input that occurs when these welds are produced Circumferentially completely uninterrupted welding between the connecting pipe 30 and the connecting element 26, it is advantageous if the webs 41 have a length of about 2 mm to 6 mm in the circumferential direction. It is also advantageous if the welding openings 38 have an axial width, ie an extent in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the pipe, in the range of 2 mm to 3 mm.
  • the connecting tube 30 projects beyond the connecting element 26 with a centering section 40 on a connecting side 42 of the connecting element 26 to be positioned facing the counter-connecting element 24 .
  • a centering opening 44 is formed in the counter-connecting element 24 to correspond to the reach-through opening 28 of the connecting element 26 .
  • the connecting pipe 30 engages with its centering section 40 in the centering opening 44 in this way A that the outer peripheral surface 34 of the connecting pipe 30 in the region of the centering section 40 can abut against an inner peripheral surface 48 of the counter-connecting element 24 bordering the centering opening 44, so that a substantially gas-tight connection between the connecting tube 30 and the counter-connecting element 24 is also created in this area.
  • connecting elements 50 preferably designed as screw bolts. These can reach through connecting bolt openings 52 provided in connecting element 26, for example, and can also reach through connecting bolt openings 52 provided in counter-connecting element 24, so that a firm cohesion can be established at the ends protruding beyond counter-connecting element 24, for example by applying nuts or the like.
  • the connecting organ openings 54 in the counter-connecting element 24 can be designed as internally threaded openings into which the connecting organs 50 can be screwed in order to produce a firm connection.
  • the connecting elements 50 press the connecting element 26 with its connecting side 42 or an essentially planar surface provided there against the counter-connecting side 46 or a surface of the counter-connecting element 24 provided there, so that an im Substantial gas-tight connection is achieved. This can be aided by positioning a sealing element between the connection side 42 and the opposite connection side 46 . Since the connection of the connecting pipe 30 to the connecting element 26 is welded in the region of the inner peripheral surface 36 of the connecting element 26, a deformation of the connecting element 26 caused by the heating occurring during welding is practically ruled out. This ensures that this is also provided with high precision in the area of its connection side 42 and thus a gas-tight connection can be guaranteed in contact interaction with the counter-connection element 24 .
