Description
本発明は、内燃機関の吸気通路におけるエアクリーナの濾過部よりも上流側に設けられるプリクリーナに関する。 The present invention relates to a precleaner provided on an upstream side of a filtration portion of an air cleaner in an intake passage of an internal combustion engine.
内燃機関の吸気通路には、吸気に含まれる異物を捕集するエアクリーナが設けられている。また、吸気通路におけるエアクリーナの濾過部よりも上流側の部分には、吸気に含まれる比較的大きな異物を取り除くためのプリクリーナが設けられている(例えば特許文献1参照)。 An air cleaner that collects foreign matter contained in the intake air is provided in the intake passage of the internal combustion engine. In addition, a pre-cleaner for removing relatively large foreign matters contained in the intake air is provided in a portion of the intake passage upstream of the air cleaner filtration portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
プリクリーナは、吸気通路を構成する筒状のケーシングと、ケーシングの内部に設けられ、吸気が通過することによって同吸気の旋回流を発生させる旋回発生翼と、ケーシングにおける上記旋回発生翼よりも下流側の部分に設けられ、吸気の旋回流により同吸気から遠心分離された異物を外部に排出する排塵部とを備えている。 The pre-cleaner includes a cylindrical casing that forms an intake passage, a swirl generating blade that is provided inside the casing and generates a swirling flow of the intake air through the intake air, and a downstream of the swirl generating blade in the casing. And a dust exhaust unit that discharges foreign matter centrifuged out from the intake air by the swirling flow of the intake air.
ところで、こうしたプリクリーナにおいて、吸気の旋回流の強さは、旋回発生翼を構成する各羽根の吸気通路の軸線に対する傾斜角度に依存する。すなわち、軸線に対する各羽根の傾斜角度が大きくなるほど旋回流が強くなる。 By the way, in such a pre-cleaner, the strength of the swirl flow of the intake air depends on the inclination angle of each blade constituting the swirl generating blade with respect to the axis of the intake passage. That is, the swirl flow becomes stronger as the inclination angle of each blade with respect to the axis increases.
ところが、旋回流が強くなるほど、遠心分離による異物の分離性能を向上させることができる一方、旋回発生翼を通過する際に発生する吸気音が増大し、吸気騒音が増大するという問題がある。 However, as the swirl flow becomes stronger, the separation performance of foreign matters by centrifugal separation can be improved. On the other hand, there is a problem that the intake noise generated when passing through the swirl generating blade increases and the intake noise increases.
本発明の目的は、吸気騒音を低減することのできる内燃機関のプリクリーナを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a pre-cleaner for an internal combustion engine that can reduce intake noise.
上記目的を達成するための内燃機関のプリクリーナは、内燃機関の吸気通路におけるエアクリーナの濾過部よりも上流側に設けられるものであり、筒状の側壁を有するケーシングと、前記ケーシングの軸線を中心に吸気を旋回させる旋回発生翼と、を備え、前記側壁のうち前記旋回発生翼の上流側に隣り合う部分が通気性の繊維成形体からなる。 An internal combustion engine pre-cleaner for achieving the above object is provided on the upstream side of the air cleaner filtration portion in the intake passage of the internal combustion engine, and has a casing having a cylindrical side wall, and an axis of the casing as a center. A portion of the side wall adjacent to the upstream side of the swirl generating blade is made of a breathable fiber molded body.
旋回発生翼を吸気が通過する際に発生する吸気音は、吸気通路の吸入口を通じて外部に伝播される。
上記構成によれば、旋回発生翼を吸気が通過する際に発生した吸気音のうち、旋回発生翼の上流側に向かう音波がケーシングの側壁のうち旋回発生翼の上流側に隣り合う部分を通過する際に吸収される。すなわち、吸気音の音波の圧力が側壁を構成する繊維成形体の通気により熱エネルギとして放射される。これにより、吸入口を通じて外部に伝播される吸気音が減音される。
The intake sound generated when the intake air passes through the swirl generating blade is propagated to the outside through the intake port of the intake passage.
According to the above configuration, of the intake sound generated when the intake air passes through the swirl generation blade, the sound wave directed to the upstream side of the swirl generation blade passes through the portion of the side wall of the casing adjacent to the upstream side of the swirl generation blade. When absorbed. That is, the pressure of the sound wave of the intake sound is radiated as thermal energy by the ventilation of the fiber molded body constituting the side wall. Thereby, the intake sound transmitted to the outside through the suction port is reduced.
本発明によれば、吸気騒音を低減することができる。 According to the present invention, intake noise can be reduced.

本実施形態の作用効果について説明する。
(1)ケーシング11の側壁11aのうち旋回発生翼20の上流側に隣り合う部分が通気性の繊維成形体からなる。
The effect of this embodiment is demonstrated.
(1) A portion adjacent to the upstream side of the swirl generating blade 20 in the side wall 11a of the casing 11 is made of a breathable fiber molded body.
旋回発生翼20を吸気が通過する際に発生する吸気音は、導入部12を通じて外部に伝播される。
上記構成によれば、旋回発生翼20を吸気が通過する際に発生した吸気音のうち、旋回発生翼20の上流側に向かう音波がケーシング11の側壁11aのうち旋回発生翼20の上流側に隣り合う部分を通過する際に吸収される。すなわち、吸気音の音波の圧力が側壁を構成する繊維成形体の通気により熱エネルギとして放射される。これにより、導入部12を通じて外部に伝播される吸気音が減音される。
The intake sound generated when the intake air passes through the swirl generating blade 20 is propagated to the outside through the introduction unit 12.
According to the above configuration, of the intake sound generated when the intake air passes through the swirl generation blade 20, the sound wave directed to the upstream side of the swirl generation blade 20 is upstream of the swirl generation blade 20 in the side wall 11 a of the casing 11. Absorbed when passing through adjacent parts. That is, the pressure of the sound wave of the intake sound is radiated as thermal energy by the ventilation of the fiber molded body constituting the side wall. Thereby, the intake sound transmitted to the outside through the introduction part 12 is reduced.
したがって、吸気騒音を低減することができる。
(2)側壁11aのうち旋回発生翼20の下流側に隣り合う部分が通気性の繊維成形体からなる。
Therefore, intake noise can be reduced.
(2) The portion adjacent to the downstream side of the swirl generating blade 20 in the side wall 11a is made of a breathable fiber molded body.
こうした構成によれば、旋回発生翼20を吸気が通過する際に発生する吸気音のうち、旋回発生翼20から下流側に向かう音波が、ケーシング11の側壁11aのうち旋回発生翼20の下流側に隣り合う部分を通過する際に吸収される。これにより、吸気通路の導入部12を通じて外部に伝播される吸気音を低減することができる。 According to such a configuration, of the intake sound generated when the intake air passes through the swirl generation blade 20, the sound wave traveling downstream from the swirl generation blade 20 is downstream of the swirl generation blade 20 in the side wall 11 a of the casing 11. It is absorbed when passing through the adjacent part. Thereby, the intake sound propagated to the outside through the introduction part 12 of the intake passage can be reduced.
(3)側壁11aのうち旋回発生翼20の上流側及び下流側の双方に隣り合う部分が一体成形されている。
こうした構成によれば、側壁11aのうち旋回発生翼20の上流側に隣り合う部分及び下流側に隣り合う部分が一体成形されるため、部品点数を低減できる。これにより、側壁11aの構成を簡単にすることができる。
(3) The part adjacent to both the upstream side and the downstream side of the swirl generating blade 20 in the side wall 11a is integrally formed.
According to such a configuration, the part adjacent to the upstream side of the swirl generating blade 20 and the part adjacent to the downstream side of the side wall 11a are integrally formed, so that the number of parts can be reduced. Thereby, the structure of the side wall 11a can be simplified.
ところで、ケーシング11の側壁11aを通気性の繊維成形体で一体成形した場合、剛性が不足しやすいために、吸気負圧によってケーシング11が変形して閉塞するおそれがある。その点、上記構成によれば、旋回発生翼20によって側壁11aが内周側から支持されるため、ケーシング11の剛性を高めることができる。 By the way, when the side wall 11a of the casing 11 is integrally formed with a breathable fiber molded body, since the rigidity is likely to be insufficient, the casing 11 may be deformed and blocked by the intake negative pressure. In that respect, according to the above configuration, the side wall 11a is supported by the swirl generating blade 20 from the inner peripheral side, so that the rigidity of the casing 11 can be increased.
(4)側壁11aは、半割筒状をなす一対の半割体10a,10bを有している。旋回発生翼20は、筒部21と、筒部21の内側においてケーシング11の軸線Cに対して傾斜して配置された複数枚の羽根よりなる羽根群23とを有している。筒部21の外周面が各半割体10a,10bの環状凹部11bの内周面に接合されてなる。 (4) The side wall 11a has a pair of halves 10a and 10b which form a half cylinder. The swirl generating blade 20 includes a cylindrical portion 21 and a blade group 23 composed of a plurality of blades that are disposed inside the cylindrical portion 21 so as to be inclined with respect to the axis C of the casing 11. The outer peripheral surface of the cylinder part 21 is joined to the inner peripheral surface of the annular recess 11b of each half body 10a, 10b.
こうした構成によれば、側壁11aの内部に旋回発生翼20を容易に接合して組み付けることができる。
(5)筒部21の外周面及び半割体10aの内周面には、互いに係止されることで側壁11aの軸線Cを中心とする周方向におけるケーシング11に対する旋回発生翼20の位置決めを行う位置決め凸部25及び位置決め凹部15が設けられている。
According to such a configuration, the swirl generating blade 20 can be easily joined and assembled in the side wall 11a.
(5) Positioning of the swirl generating blade 20 with respect to the casing 11 in the circumferential direction centering on the axis C of the side wall 11a by being locked to each other on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 21 and the inner peripheral surface of the half body 10a. The positioning convex part 25 and the positioning concave part 15 to perform are provided.
こうした構成によれば、ケーシング11に対する旋回発生翼20の周方向における位置決めを容易に行うことができる。
<変形例>
なお、上記実施形態は、例えば以下のように変更することもできる。
According to such a configuration, positioning of the swirl generating blade 20 in the circumferential direction with respect to the casing 11 can be easily performed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a positioning recess 115 into which a protruding piece 125 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 121 is inserted may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the casing 111.
また、図7に示すように、筒部221の外周面から延びる一対の突片225を、ケーシング211の各半割体の両接合部14a,14bでそれぞれ挟み込み、接合するようにしてもよい。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, a pair of projecting pieces 225 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 221 may be sandwiched and joined by the joint portions 14 a and 14 b of the halves of the casing 211.
さらに、図8に示すように、筒部321の外周面から延びる一対の突片325を、ケーシング311に設けた貫通孔315に差し込み、突片325のうち貫通孔315から突出した端部326を、貫通孔315の周方向の直径よりも大きくなるよう熱かしめすることにより、抜け止め構造をなすようにしてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a pair of protruding pieces 325 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 321 are inserted into the through holes 315 provided in the casing 311, and the end portions 326 of the protruding pieces 325 protruding from the through holes 315 are inserted. Further, the retaining structure may be formed by heat caulking so as to be larger than the diameter of the through hole 315 in the circumferential direction.
