Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は自動二輪車の内燃機関等に使用する排気ガス浄化装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
大気汚染防止を目的として車両に排気ガス浄化装置を搭載する技術が知られており、特開平3−85320号公報「内燃機関の排気ガス浄化装置」もその1つである。
【0003】
この装置は、同公報の第1図に示される通り、パンチングで複数の小孔を明けた内管5を排気管3内に配置し、この内管5に触媒を担持して排気ガス中の未燃成分を酸化させるものである。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この排気管3は、第6図に示すように略C字型に曲げ形成したエキゾーストパイプ(即ち、ベンド管)であり、触媒を担持した内管5を内蔵したものである。排気管3に内管5を内蔵した理由は、内管5に担持した触媒に、高温の排気ガスを反応させて排気ガスの浄化性能を高く保つためである。
しかし、このようにすると、排気口2に近い部位にパンチング孔を備えた内管5が配置される関係上、パンチング孔で排気ガスの流れに乱れが生じ、エンジンの出力特性に大きく影響を及ぼし、出力低下を招くことにもなる。
【0005】
そこで、本発明の目的は、触媒を効率よく反応させて排気ガスの浄化性能を高く保ち、かつエンジンの出力特性に影響を与えない排気ガス浄化装置を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明の請求項1は、パンチングメタルで筒状に形成するとともに触媒を担持した小径及び大径の排気ガス浄化装置を排気管のエキパイ部後部より膨張室に渡って直列に配置し、且つ前記小径の排気ガス浄化装置に大径の排気ガス浄化装置をオーバーラップさせ、前記大径の排気ガス浄化装置のオーバーラップ部にパンチング孔のない部位を備え、このパンチング孔のない部位に補強リングを付設したことを特徴とする。
【0007】
2つの排気ガス浄化装置を排気管のエキパイ部後部より膨張室に渡って直列に配置する構成としたので、各排気ガス浄化装置はエキパイ部前部の排気口に近い位置で排気ガスの乱れをおこさない。従って、エンジンの出力特性に影響が及ぶ心配はない。
【0008】
また、1段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応させ、引続き2段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応を連続的に実施させるようにしたので、排気ガスの温度が低くなる位置に触媒を配置しても、2段目の排気ガス浄化装置を触媒が効率よく反応する温度まで加熱でき、排気ガス中の未燃焼成分を効率よく酸化して無害成分に転換できる。
【0009】
さらに、仮に、大径の排気ガス浄化装置が熱変形により楕円になると、内側の小径の排気ガス浄化装置に接触する虞がある。そこで、大径の排気ガス浄化装置のオーバーラップ部に補強リングを付設して、不都合な変形を抑えるようにし、排気ガス浄化装置の性能を維持するようにした。
【0010】
請求項2は、パンチングメタルで筒状に形成するとともに触媒を担持した小径及び大径の排気ガス浄化装置を排気管のエキパイ部後部より膨張室に渡って直列に配置し、且つ前記小径の排気ガス浄化装置に大径の排気ガス浄化装置をオーバーラップさせ、前記オーバーラップ部におけるパンチング孔の密度を他の部分より粗くしたことを特徴とする。
【0011】
2つの排気ガス浄化装置を排気管のエキパイ部後部より膨張室に渡って直列に配置する構成としたので、各排気ガス浄化装置はエキパイ部前部の排気口に近い位置で排気ガスの乱れをおこさない。従って、エンジンの出力特性に影響が及ぶ心配はない。
【0012】
また、1段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応させ、引続き2段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応を連続的に実施させるようにしたので、排気ガスの温度が低くなる位置に触媒を配置しても、2段目の排気ガス浄化装置を触媒が効率よく反応する温度まで加熱でき、排気ガス中の未燃焼成分を効率よく酸化して無害成分に転換できる。
【0013】
さらに、仮に、大径の排気ガス浄化装置が熱変形により楕円になると、内側の小径の排気ガス浄化装置に接触する虞がある。そこで、大径の排気ガス浄化装置のオーバーラップ部におけるパンチング孔の密度を他の部分より粗くして、不都合な変形を抑えるようにし、排気ガス浄化装置の性能を維持するようにした。
【0014】

また、上流側に小径の第1の触媒付き筒部材61を配置し、下流側に大径の第2の触媒付き筒部材71を配置したが、上流側に大径の第2の触媒付き筒部材71を配置し、下流側に小径の第1の触媒付き筒部材61を配置することも可能である。
【0021】
図5は図4の5−5線断面図であり、第1の触媒付き筒部材61を支持する支持ステーの構成を示す。
支持ステー62は、W字状のサポート金具63と、このサポート金具63に溶接するアウタリング64とからなり、このアウタリング64は組立ての都合で上下に2分割したものである。このアウタリング64とインナリング109(図6も参照)との間に環状の弾性材65を備える。弾性材65は、前記弾性材75と同様に、耐熱性及びクッション性を備えたステンレスウールが好適である。

上側分割管体52Tに前部支持ステー72FのW字状サポート金具73Fを溶接することにより、前部支持ステー72Fは、第2の触媒付き筒部材71を膨張室52の断面略中央に支持する部材である。
【0027】
図8は図4の8−8線断面図であり、第2の触媒付き筒部材71を支持する後部支持ステーの構成を示す。
後部支持ステー72Rは、上記前部支持ステー72Fと比較してW字状サポート金具73Rの形状が若干異なるだけで、基本的には前部支持ステー72Fと同構造であるから同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
【0028】
図9は本発明に係る第2の触媒付き筒部材の側面図である。
第2の触媒付き筒部材71は、触媒を担持させたパンチングメタルを筒状に形成して端部81,82を突合せ、突合せ部を溶接したものである。

白抜き矢印は排気ガスの流れ方向を示す。
【0030】
第1の触媒付き筒部材71の製造工程を図10→図6→図5→図4の順に説明する。
図10は本発明に係る排気ガス浄化装置の第1製造説明図であり、第1の触媒付き筒部材61を製造するパンチングメタル100を示す。
先ず、矩形のパンチングメタル100の所定区域に複数のパンチング孔90…を低密度や高密度の状態にパンチング加工し、パンチングメタル100に孔なし部101a,101b,101c,101cと、低密度孔あり部103…と、孔あり部102a,102bとを備える。
【0031】
孔なし部101a,101b,101c,101c,101cは、パンチングメタル100の中央部、右端部及び上下端部に設けてある。低密度孔あり部103…は、孔あり部102a,102bの周囲に設けてある。
【0032】
次に、パンチングメタル100を丸め、図6に示すように端部105と端部106とを突合せ溶接して第1の筒部材61aを形成する。次に、第1の筒部材61aの内外周面に活性アルミナを薄く成膜し、この活性アルミナ層に触媒成分を担持して第2の触媒付き筒部材61を得る。
次いで、第1の触媒付き筒部材61の左側孔なし部101aにインナリング109,109を配置して溶接する。
【0033】
続いて、図5に示すようにインナリング109,109(一方のみ図示する)に耐熱性の弾性材65,65を嵌合し、弾性材65,65を2つ割りのアウタリング64で抑える。次いで、アウタリング64,64をサポート金具63でエキパイ部51内に第1の触媒付き筒部材61を配置する(図4参照)。
【0034】
次に、第2の触媒付き筒部材71の製造工程を図11→図12→図9→図6→図7→図4の順に説明する。
図11は本発明に係る排気ガス浄化装置の第2製造説明図であり、第2の触媒付き筒部材71を形成するパンチングメタル80を示す。
先ず、矩形のパンチングメタル80の所定区域に複数のパンチング孔90…を低密度や高密度の状態にパンチング加工し、パンチングメタル80に孔なし部85a,85b,85c,85d,85dと、低密度孔あり部87…、孔あり部86a,86bとを備える。
【0035】
孔なし部85a〜85dは、それぞれパンチングメタル80の左端部、中央部、右端部及び上下端部に設けてある。低密度孔あり部87…は、孔あり部86a,86bにつながる上下左右の縁部に設けてある。
【0036】
図12は本発明に係る排気ガス浄化装置の第3製造説明図であり、第2の触媒付き筒部材71を筒形に丸めた状態を示す。
図11で説明した矩形のパンチングメタル80を丸め、上端部81と下端部82とを突合せ溶接して第2の筒部材71aを形成する。次に、第2の筒部材71aの内外周面に活性アルミナを薄く成膜し、この活性アルミナ層に触媒成分を担持して第2の触媒付き筒部材71を得る。
【0037】
次いで、第2の触媒付き筒部材71の中央の孔なし部85bと右端部の孔なし部85cにインナリング92,92を被せ、中央のインナリング92の切欠底部92aと第2の触媒付き筒部材71とを溶接する。92b,92bはインナリング92,92の突合せ溶接部である。
続いて、第2の触媒付き筒部材71の左端部の孔なし部85aに補強リング93を被せ、第2の触媒付き筒部材71の左端部と補強リング93の左端部とを溶接する。
【0038】
上述した製造工程の結果、図9に示すように第2の触媒付き筒部材71の孔なし部85a,85b,85cに、それぞれ補強リング93、インナリング92,92を配置した状態となる。
【0039】
次に、図6、図7に示すようにインナリング92,92に耐熱性の弾性材75,75を嵌合し、弾性材75,75を2つ割りのアウタリング74,74で抑える。次いで、サポート金具73F,73Rを膨張室52内に溶接して、膨張室52内に第2の触媒付き筒部材71を配置する(図4参照)。
【0040】
次に、本発明に係る排気ガス浄化装置60の作用を説明する。
図4に示す排気管50のエキパイ部51内に入った(白抜き矢印は排気ガスの流れ方向を示す)排気ガスは、第1の触媒付き筒部材61及び第2の触媒付き筒部材71の内外を通過する。
【0041】
ここで、第1の触媒付き筒部材61と第2の触媒付き筒部材71とを、排気管50のエキパイ部51の後部から膨張室52に渡って直列に、かつ略直線上に配置した。従って、各触媒付き筒部材61,71は排気口(図3のエキパイ部51の前部)に近い位置で排気ガスの乱れをおこさない。これにより、エンジンの出力特性に影響が及ばない。
【0042】
また、第1の触媒付き筒部材61の後端部と第2の触媒付き筒部材71の前端部とをオーバーラップさせたので、第1の触媒付き筒部材61で酸化反応させ、引つづき第2の触媒付き筒部材71で酸化反応を連続的に実施させた。従って、第2の触媒付き筒部材71を排気ガスの温度が低くなる位置に配置しても、第2の触媒付き筒部材71の触媒が効率よく反応する温度まで加熱でき、排気ガス中の未燃焼成分を効率よく酸化して無害成分に転換できる。
【0043】
ところで、仮に、第2の触媒付き筒部材71が熱変形により楕円になると、内側の第1の触媒付き筒部材61に接触する虞がある。そこで、第2の触媒付き筒部材71のオーバーラップ部94に補強リング93を付設し、かつ第2の触媒付き筒部材71のオーバーラップ部94におけるパンチング孔90…の密度を他の部分より粗くして不都合な変形を抑えるようにし、排気ガス浄化装置60の性能を維持するようにした。
なお、第2の触媒付き筒部材71のオーバーラップ部94に補強リング93を付設する方法と、第2の触媒付き筒部材71のオーバーラップ部94におけるパンチング孔90…の密度を他の部分より粗くする方法との一方のみを実施しても同様の効果を得ることができる。
【0044】
一方、図9に示す第2の触媒付き筒部材71は、孔なし部85a,85b,85cの側部がそれぞれ低密度孔あり部87…に隣接する。従って、排気ガスで第2の触媒付き筒部材71を加熱したとき、左側の孔なし部85aから低密度孔あり部87につながるの領域の熱分布が緩やかに変化するのでパンチング孔90…から亀裂が発生する心配はない。
【0045】
同様に、中央の孔なし部85bから孔あり部86a,86bにつながる領域の熱分布が緩やかに変化し、かつ右側の孔なし部85cから孔あり部86bにつながる領域の熱分布が緩やかに変化する。従って、これらの領域のパンチング孔90…から亀裂が発生する心配はない。
また、突合せ溶接部91は孔なし部85d,85dに隣接するので、突合せ溶接部91を孔あり部から離すことができる。従って、第2の触媒付き筒部材71を排気ガスで加熱したとき、孔あり部から突合せ溶接部91に向って亀裂が発生する心配はない。
【0046】
尚、本実施例は排気ガス浄化装置を自動二輪車の排気管に使用した場合について説明したが、本発明の排気ガス浄化装置は産業機械などのその他の内燃機関の排気管に使用してもよいことは勿論である。
【0047】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記構成により次の効果を発揮する。
請求項1は、2つの排気ガス浄化装置を排気管のエキパイ部後部より膨張室に渡って直列に配置する構成としたので、各排気ガス浄化装置は排気口に近い位置で排気ガスの乱れをおこさない。従って、エンジンの出力特性に影響が及ぶ心配はない。
【0048】
また、1段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応させ、引つづき2段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応を連続的に実施させるようにしたので、排気ガスの温度が低くなる位置に触媒を配置しても、2段目の排気ガス浄化装置を触媒が効率よく反応する温度まで加熱でき、排気ガス中の未燃焼成分を効率よく酸化して無害成分に転換できる。
【0049】
さらに、仮に、大径の排気ガス浄化装置が熱変形により楕円になると、内側の小径の排気ガス浄化装置に接触する虞がある。そこで、大径の排気ガス浄化装置のオーバーラップ部に補強リングを付設して、不都合な変形を抑えるようにし、排気ガス浄化装置の性能を維持するようにした。
【0050】
請求項2は、2つの排気ガス浄化装置を排気管のエキパイ部後部より膨張室に渡って直列に配置する構成としたので、各排気ガス浄化装置は排気口に近い位置で排気ガスの乱れをおこさない。従って、エンジンの出力特性に影響が及ぶ心配はない。
【0051】
また、1段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応させ、引続き2段目の排気ガス浄化装置で酸化反応を連続的に実施させるようにしたので、排気ガスの温度が低くなる位置に触媒を配置しても、2段目の排気ガス浄化装置を触媒が効率よく反応する温度まで加熱でき、排気ガス中の未燃焼成分を効率よく酸化して無害成分に転換できる。
【0052】
さらに、仮に、大径の排気ガス浄化装置が熱変形により楕円になると、内側の小径の排気ガス浄化装置に接触する虞がある。そこで、大径の排気ガス浄化装置のオーバーラップ部におけるパンチング孔の密度を他の部分より粗くして、不都合な変形を抑えるようにし、排気ガス浄化装置の性能を維持するようにした。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an exhaust gas purification device used for an internal combustion engine of a motorcycle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A technique for mounting an exhaust gas purification device on a vehicle for the purpose of preventing air pollution is known, and JP-A-3-85320 “Exhaust gas purification device for internal combustion engine” is one of them.
[0003]
In this apparatus, as shown in FIG. 1 of the publication, an inner pipe 5 in which a plurality of small holes are formed by punching is disposed in an exhaust pipe 3, and a catalyst is supported on the inner pipe 5 so as to be contained in the exhaust gas. It oxidizes unburned components.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The exhaust pipe 3 is an exhaust pipe (that is, a bend pipe) bent into a substantially C shape as shown in FIG. 6, and includes an inner pipe 5 carrying a catalyst. The reason why the inner pipe 5 is built in the exhaust pipe 3 is to keep the exhaust gas purification performance high by reacting the catalyst carried on the inner pipe 5 with high-temperature exhaust gas.
However, if this is done, the inner pipe 5 having the punching hole is disposed near the exhaust port 2, so that the exhaust gas flow is disturbed by the punching hole, which greatly affects the output characteristics of the engine. This will also cause a decrease in output.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust gas purification apparatus that efficiently reacts with a catalyst to maintain high exhaust gas purification performance and does not affect the output characteristics of the engine.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention is to form a small-diameter and large-diameter exhaust gas purifying apparatus that is formed into a cylindrical shape with punching metal and carries a catalyst from the exhaust pipe rear portion of the exhaust pipe to the expansion chamber. The large-diameter exhaust gas purification device is arranged in series, and the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device is overlapped, and the overlapping portion of the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device includes a portion having no punching hole. It is characterized in that a reinforcing ring is attached to a portion having no gap.
[0007]
Since the two exhaust gas purifying devices are arranged in series from the rear part of the exhaust pipe exhaust pipe to the expansion chamber, each exhaust gas purifying apparatus is located near the exhaust port at the front part of the exhaust pipe part. I won't do it. Therefore, there is no concern that the output characteristics of the engine will be affected.
[0008]
In addition, since the oxidation reaction was carried out by the first-stage exhaust gas purification device and the oxidation reaction was continuously carried out by the second-stage exhaust gas purification device, the catalyst was placed at a position where the temperature of the exhaust gas was lowered. Even so, the second-stage exhaust gas purification device can be heated to a temperature at which the catalyst reacts efficiently, and the unburned components in the exhaust gas can be efficiently oxidized and converted into harmless components.
[0009]
Furthermore, if the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device becomes elliptical due to thermal deformation, there is a risk of contact with the inner small-diameter exhaust gas purification device. Therefore, a reinforcing ring is attached to the overlap portion of the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device so as to suppress inconvenient deformation and maintain the performance of the exhaust gas purification device.
[0010]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, a small-diameter and large-diameter exhaust gas purification device that is formed in a cylindrical shape with punching metal and that carries a catalyst is arranged in series from the rear portion of the exhaust pipe exhaust section to the expansion chamber, and the small-diameter exhaust gas The exhaust gas purification device having a large diameter is overlapped with the gas purification device, and the density of punching holes in the overlap portion is made coarser than other portions.
[0011]
Since the two exhaust gas purifying devices are arranged in series from the rear part of the exhaust pipe exhaust pipe to the expansion chamber, each exhaust gas purifying apparatus is located near the exhaust port at the front part of the exhaust pipe part. I won't do it. Therefore, there is no concern that the output characteristics of the engine will be affected.
[0012]
In addition, since the oxidation reaction was carried out by the first-stage exhaust gas purification device and the oxidation reaction was continuously carried out by the second-stage exhaust gas purification device, the catalyst was placed at a position where the temperature of the exhaust gas was lowered. Even so, the second-stage exhaust gas purification device can be heated to a temperature at which the catalyst reacts efficiently, and the unburned components in the exhaust gas can be efficiently oxidized and converted into harmless components.
[0013]
Furthermore, if the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device becomes elliptical due to thermal deformation, there is a risk of contact with the inner small-diameter exhaust gas purification device. Therefore, the density of the punching holes in the overlap portion of the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device is made coarser than other portions so as to suppress inconvenient deformation and maintain the performance of the exhaust gas purification device.

[0034]
Next, the manufacturing process of the second catalyst-equipped tubular member 71 will be described in the order of FIG. 11 → FIG. 12 → FIG. 9 → FIG. 6 → FIG.
FIG. 11 is a second production explanatory view of the exhaust gas purifying apparatus according to the present invention, and shows a punching metal 80 forming the second tubular member 71 with catalyst.

[0035]
The holeless portions 85a to 85d are provided at the left end portion, the center portion, the right end portion, and the upper and lower end portions of the punching metal 80, respectively. The low density hole portions 87 are provided on the upper, lower, left and right edges connected to the hole portions 86a and 86b.
[0036]
FIG. 12 is a third production explanatory view of the exhaust gas purifying apparatus according to the present invention, and shows a state where the second catalyst-equipped tubular member 71 is rounded into a tubular shape.
The rectangular punching metal 80 described with reference to FIG. 11 is rounded, and the upper end portion 81 and the lower end portion 82 are butt welded to form the second cylindrical member 71a. Next, a thin film of activated alumina is formed on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the second cylindrical member 71a, and a catalyst component is supported on the activated alumina layer to obtain a second cylindrical member 71 with a catalyst.
[0037]
Next, the inner ring 92, 92 is put on the hole-less portion 85b and the hole-less portion 85c at the right end of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71, the notch bottom portion 92a of the center inner ring 92 and the second catalyst-carrying cylinder.

[0038]
As a result of the manufacturing process described above, as shown in FIG. 9, the reinforcing ring 93 and the inner rings 92, 92 are disposed in the holeless portions 85a, 85b, 85c of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71, respectively.
[0039]
Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, heat-resistant elastic materials 75 and 75 are fitted to the inner rings 92 and 92, and the elastic materials 75 and 75 are held by the outer rings 74 and 74 divided in two. Next, the support fittings 73F and 73R are welded into the expansion chamber 52, and the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 is disposed in the expansion chamber 52 (see FIG. 4).
[0040]
Next, the operation of the exhaust gas purification device 60 according to the present invention will be described.
Exhaust gas that has entered the exhaust pipe 51 of the exhaust pipe 50 shown in FIG. 4 (the white arrow indicates the flow direction of the exhaust gas) is discharged from the first catalyst-equipped cylinder member 61 and the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71. Passes in and out.
[0041]
Here, the first catalyst-equipped cylinder member 61 and the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 are arranged in series and in a substantially straight line from the rear portion of the exhaust pipe 51 of the exhaust pipe 50 to the expansion chamber 52. Therefore, each of the cylinder members 61 and 71 with catalyst does not disturb the exhaust gas at a position close to the exhaust port (the front portion of the exhaust section 51 in FIG. 3). This does not affect the output characteristics of the engine.
[0042]
In addition, since the rear end portion of the first catalyst-equipped cylinder member 61 and the front end portion of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 are overlapped, the first catalyst-equipped cylinder member 61 undergoes an oxidation reaction, and continues. The oxidation reaction was continuously carried out by the cylindrical member 71 with two catalysts. Therefore, even if the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 is disposed at a position where the temperature of the exhaust gas is lowered, the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 can be heated to a temperature at which the catalyst reacts efficiently, The combustion component can be efficiently oxidized and converted into a harmless component.
[0043]
By the way, if the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 becomes an ellipse due to thermal deformation, there is a risk of contact with the inner first catalyst-equipped cylinder member 61. Therefore, a reinforcing ring 93 is attached to the overlap portion 94 of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71, and the density of the punching holes 90 in the overlap portion 94 of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 is coarser than other portions. Thus, inconvenient deformation is suppressed and the performance of the exhaust gas purification device 60 is maintained.
It should be noted that the reinforcing ring 93 is attached to the overlap portion 94 of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 and the density of the punching holes 90 in the overlap portion 94 of the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 is higher than that of other portions. Even if only one of the roughening methods is performed, the same effect can be obtained.
[0044]
On the other hand, in the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 shown in FIG. 9, the side portions of the holeless portions 85a, 85b, and 85c are adjacent to the low density hole portions 87, respectively. Accordingly, when the second catalyst-equipped cylinder member 71 is heated with the exhaust gas, the heat distribution in the region connecting from the left holeless portion 85a to the low density hole portion 87 changes gradually, so that cracks occur from the punching holes 90. There is no worry that will occur.
[0045]
Similarly, the heat distribution in the region connected from the central holeless portion 85b to the holed portions 86a and 86b changes gently, and the heat distribution in the region connected from the right holeless portion 85c to the holed portion 86b changes gently. To do. Therefore, there is no concern that cracks will occur from the punching holes 90 in these regions.
Moreover, since the butt weld part 91 is adjacent to the holeless parts 85d and 85d, the butt weld part 91 can be separated from the holed part. Therefore, when the second catalyst-equipped tubular member 71 is heated with exhaust gas, there is no concern that a crack will occur from the holed portion toward the butt weld portion 91.
[0046]
In this embodiment, the exhaust gas purification device is used for an exhaust pipe of a motorcycle. However, the exhaust gas purification device of the present invention may be used for an exhaust pipe of another internal combustion engine such as an industrial machine. Of course.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention exhibits the following effects by the above configuration.
Since the first exhaust gas purifying device is arranged in series from the rear portion of the exhaust pipe exhaust section to the expansion chamber, each exhaust gas purifying device has the exhaust gas disturbance at a position close to the exhaust port. I won't do it. Therefore, there is no concern that the output characteristics of the engine will be affected.
[0048]
In addition, since the oxidation reaction is performed in the first stage exhaust gas purification device and the oxidation reaction is continuously performed in the second stage exhaust gas purification device, the catalyst is placed at a position where the temperature of the exhaust gas becomes low. Even if it arrange | positions, the exhaust gas purification apparatus of a 2nd stage can be heated to the temperature which a catalyst reacts efficiently, and the unburned component in exhaust gas can be oxidized efficiently, and can be converted into a harmless component.
[0049]
Furthermore, if the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device becomes elliptical due to thermal deformation, there is a risk of contact with the inner small-diameter exhaust gas purification device. Therefore, a reinforcing ring is attached to the overlap portion of the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device so as to suppress inconvenient deformation and maintain the performance of the exhaust gas purification device.
[0050]
According to the second aspect, since the two exhaust gas purifying devices are arranged in series from the rear portion of the exhaust pipe exhaust pipe to the expansion chamber, each exhaust gas purifying device is arranged to turbulent exhaust gas at a position close to the exhaust port. I won't do it. Therefore, there is no concern that the output characteristics of the engine will be affected.
[0051]
In addition, since the oxidation reaction was carried out by the first-stage exhaust gas purification device and the oxidation reaction was continuously carried out by the second-stage exhaust gas purification device, the catalyst was placed at a position where the temperature of the exhaust gas was lowered. Even so, the second-stage exhaust gas purification device can be heated to a temperature at which the catalyst reacts efficiently, and the unburned components in the exhaust gas can be efficiently oxidized and converted into harmless components.
[0052]
Furthermore, if the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device becomes elliptical due to thermal deformation, there is a risk of contact with the inner small-diameter exhaust gas purification device. Therefore, the density of punching holes in the overlap portion of the large-diameter exhaust gas purification device is made coarser than other portions so as to suppress inconvenient deformation and maintain the performance of the exhaust gas purification device.
