Description

本発明は排気系支持装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an exhaust system support device.

従来、エンジンなどの動力源を搭載した車両の排気系は、排気系に設けられた支持装置により車体に懸垂されている。この支持装置と車体との間には、ゴム等の弾性部材が介在されており、排気系に伝わるエンジン振動を該弾性部材で吸収し、車体へのエンジン振動の伝達を抑制している。   Conventionally, an exhaust system of a vehicle equipped with a power source such as an engine is suspended from a vehicle body by a support device provided in the exhaust system. An elastic member such as rubber is interposed between the support device and the vehicle body, and the engine vibration transmitted to the exhaust system is absorbed by the elastic member to suppress transmission of the engine vibration to the vehicle body.

このような排気系支持装置として、従来、一本の金属製の棒材を曲折して車体に弾性部材を介して接続される懸垂部と、排気系に接合される基部とを形成した支持装置が提案されている。(特許文献1,2参照)。

JP 2000-2113 A JP 2003-120282 A

上記特許文献1及び2に記載の支持装置によれば、排気系を支持する金属製の棒材は比較的細いものであり、任意形状に形成し易く、また、安価に製造できるメリットがある。しかし、強度や剛性を向上させることは困難であり、エンジンから排気系に伝達された振動が、剛性の低い該支持装置を介して車体に伝達されると、低周波数の振動伝達により車内にこもり音が発生する問題があった。そのため、排気系支持装置には、排気系を長期に渡って支持するために強度や耐久性が要求され、更に、支持装置の剛性をより高くし共振周波数を高くすることによって、車内のこもり音の発生原因である低周波数の振動が車体に伝達され難くすることが要求されている。   According to the supporting devices described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the metal bar material that supports the exhaust system is relatively thin, and can be easily formed into an arbitrary shape, and can be manufactured at low cost. However, it is difficult to improve the strength and rigidity, and when vibration transmitted from the engine to the exhaust system is transmitted to the vehicle body via the support device having low rigidity, the vibration is lodged in the vehicle by low-frequency vibration transmission. There was a problem with sound. For this reason, the exhaust system support device is required to have strength and durability to support the exhaust system for a long period of time. Furthermore, by increasing the rigidity of the support device and the resonance frequency, Therefore, it is required to make it difficult for low-frequency vibrations, which are the cause of the occurrence, to be transmitted to the vehicle body.

そこで本発明は上記の問題を解決することができる排気系の支持装置を提案することを目的とするものである。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to propose an exhaust system support device that can solve the above-described problems.

前記課題を解決するために、請求項1記載の発明は、金属製の棒材を曲折して形成するとともに弾性部材を介して排気系を車体に支持するための排気系支持装置であって、排気系における排気管の外周に沿うように湾曲し、排気管に溶接される第1基部と該第1基部から延設されるとともに弾性部材に接続される懸垂部とを備えた第1支持部材と、前記排気管の外周に沿うように湾曲し、排気管に溶接される第2基部と該第2基部から延設されるとともに前記懸垂部に溶接される補強部とを備える第2支持部材とからなる排気系支持装置である。 In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is an exhaust system support device for bending a metal bar and supporting the exhaust system on a vehicle body via an elastic member. and curved along the outer periphery of the definitive in the exhaust system the exhaust pipe, a first support comprising a suspension unit connected to the elastic member with extending from the first base and first base are welded to the exhaust pipe A second support that includes a member, a second base that is curved along the outer periphery of the exhaust pipe, is welded to the exhaust pipe, and a reinforcement is provided that extends from the second base and is welded to the suspension part. An exhaust system support device comprising members.

本発明においては、第1支持部材と第2支持部材の各基部が排気系に接合され、かつ、第2支持部材の補強部が第1支持部材の懸垂部に接合されているため、第1支持部材の懸垂部の強度が向上し、更には、第1支持部材と第2支持部材の2本の棒材が互いを支えあうことで、支持装置全体の強度と耐久性も向上する。これにより、支持装置全体の剛性を向上することができる。   In the present invention, each base portion of the first support member and the second support member is joined to the exhaust system, and the reinforcing portion of the second support member is joined to the suspension portion of the first support member. The strength of the suspension portion of the support member is improved, and further, the strength and durability of the entire support device are improved by the two bars of the first support member and the second support member supporting each other. Thereby, the rigidity of the whole support apparatus can be improved.

請求項2の発明は、請求項1の発明において、金属製の棒材をパイプ状の棒材としたことを特徴とするものである。   The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention of claim 1, the metal bar is a pipe-like bar.

本発明においては、中空状の金属製のパイプを使用することで、支持装置の重量を軽くすることができる。   In the present invention, the weight of the support device can be reduced by using a hollow metal pipe.

請求項1記載の発明によれば、支持装置の剛性の向上によって、共振周波数を高くすることができ、低周波数の振動が、この支持装置を介して車体に伝わり難くなり、車内でのこもり音を抑制することができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the resonance frequency can be increased by improving the rigidity of the support device, and low-frequency vibrations are difficult to be transmitted to the vehicle body via the support device. Can be suppressed.

請求項2記載の発明によれば、中空状である金属製のパイプ状の棒材は、中実状のものより重量が軽いため共振周波数を高くすることができる。そのため、この支持装置を介して車体に伝わるこもり音を一層抑制することができる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, the hollow metal pipe-like bar is lighter in weight than the solid metal bar, so that the resonance frequency can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the booming noise transmitted to the vehicle body via the support device.

本発明を実施するための最良の形態を図に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。
図に示す実施例は、本発明の排気系支持装置を、排気系における排気管の支持に用いた例であり、基部側を排気管4に接合した支持装置1を、車体側に設けた弾性部材5に連結して、排気管を懸垂状に支持するようにしたものである。
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.
The embodiment shown in the figure is an example in which the exhaust system support device of the present invention is used to support an exhaust pipe in an exhaust system, and a support device 1 having a base side joined to an exhaust pipe 4 is provided on the vehicle body side. The exhaust pipe is connected to the member 5 so as to be suspended.

支持装置1は、金属製のパイプ状の棒材を曲折して形成した第1支持部材2と、同様に金属製のパイプ状の棒材を曲折して形成した第2支持部材3からなる。   The support device 1 includes a first support member 2 formed by bending a metal pipe-shaped bar, and a second support member 3 formed by bending a metal pipe-shaped bar.

前記第1支持部材2は、排気管4の外周における一方の側Aの周方向に沿うように湾曲した第1基部2aと、該第1基部2aから上方に、かつ、図2に示すように排気管4の他方の側Bに傾斜するとともに図3に示すように排気管4の軸方向に傾斜して延長した延長部2bと、該延長部2bの上端部から横方向(排気管の軸芯と直交する方向)に屈曲して直線状に形成した懸垂部2cとから形成されている。   The first support member 2 includes a first base portion 2a that is curved along the circumferential direction of one side A of the outer periphery of the exhaust pipe 4, and upward from the first base portion 2a, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, an extension 2b that is inclined to the other side B of the exhaust pipe 4 and extended in the axial direction of the exhaust pipe 4, and a lateral direction (the axis of the exhaust pipe) from the upper end of the extension 2b. The suspension part 2c is formed in a straight line by bending in a direction perpendicular to the core.

前記第1支持部材2の下部に形成された第1基部2aは、排気系の一部である排気管4に溶接W1により円弧状に接合されており、上部に形成された懸垂部2cの先端には、係止部2dが形成されている。該係止部2dは、その外周を先細状のテーパ面2eとし、後部に懸垂部2cの外径より大径の係止面2fを設けて形成されており、後述するように、該係止部2dを弾性部材5に挿通した後において、懸垂部2cが弾性部材5から脱落することを防止するようになっている。   The first base 2a formed at the lower part of the first support member 2 is joined to the exhaust pipe 4 which is a part of the exhaust system in an arc shape by welding W1, and the tip of the suspension part 2c formed at the upper part. Is formed with a locking portion 2d. The locking portion 2d is formed with a tapered tapered surface 2e at the outer periphery and a locking surface 2f having a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the suspension portion 2c at the rear portion. After the portion 2d is inserted into the elastic member 5, the suspension portion 2c is prevented from falling off the elastic member 5.

前記第2支持部材3は、排気管4の外周における他方の側B、すなわち、前記第1支持部材2の第1基部2aと対向する側において、排気管4の外周の周方向に沿うように湾曲された第2基部3aと、該第2基部3aから上方に曲折されて延設された補強部3bとから形成されている。   The second support member 3 extends along the circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the exhaust pipe 4 on the other side B of the outer periphery of the exhaust pipe 4, that is, on the side facing the first base 2 a of the first support member 2. The second base portion 3a is curved, and the reinforcing portion 3b is bent upward from the second base portion 3a.

第2支持部材3の下部に形成された第2基部3aは排気管4に溶接W2により円弧状に接合されており、第2支持部材3の補強部3bは第1支持部材2における懸垂部2cに、前記係止部2dと反対の側において溶接W3により接合されている。なお、この補強部3bの接合の位置は、該補強部3bと前記係止部2dとで弾性部材5を挟持できる位置に設定されている。   The second base portion 3a formed at the lower portion of the second support member 3 is joined to the exhaust pipe 4 in a circular arc shape by welding W2, and the reinforcing portion 3b of the second support member 3 is a suspended portion 2c in the first support member 2. In addition, it is joined by welding W3 on the side opposite to the locking portion 2d. The joining position of the reinforcing portion 3b is set at a position where the elastic member 5 can be sandwiched between the reinforcing portion 3b and the locking portion 2d.

弾性部材5はEPDM(エチレンプロピレンゴム)等の弾性材で成形され、支持装置1と車体側の間に配置し、支持装置1を介して排気系を支持している。   The elastic member 5 is formed of an elastic material such as EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber), is disposed between the support device 1 and the vehicle body side, and supports the exhaust system via the support device 1.

該弾性部材5には、車体側取付穴5aと支持装置側取付穴5bが形成されており、車体側取付穴5aには、弾性部材5が車体側取付穴5aの軸を中心として揺動するように、図示しない車体に設けられた金属製の棒材が挿通される。更に、支持装置側取付穴5bには、前記支持装置1における第1支持部材2の懸垂部2cが挿通され排気管4が第1支持部材2と弾性部材5を介して車体に支持されるようになっている。   The elastic member 5 is formed with a vehicle body side mounting hole 5a and a support device side mounting hole 5b. The elastic member 5 swings around the axis of the vehicle body side mounting hole 5a. In this manner, a metal bar provided on the vehicle body (not shown) is inserted. Further, the suspension portion 2c of the first support member 2 in the support device 1 is inserted into the support device side mounting hole 5b so that the exhaust pipe 4 is supported by the vehicle body via the first support member 2 and the elastic member 5. It has become.

以上のようであるから、取付けに際しては、弾性部材5を、その車体取付穴5aに車体側の棒材を挿通し、また図2に示すように、排気管4に接合された支持装置1における第1支持部材2の係止部2dを弾性部材5の支持装置側取付穴5bに圧入的に挿通して反圧入側へ図2に示すように突出させる。この挿通により、第2支持部材3の補強部3bが第1支持部材2の懸垂部2cに接合されていることによって係止部2dと補強部3bが、弾性部材5の両端を挟み込み、懸垂部2cの車両幅方向の移動を規制することができる。これにより、支持装置1に排気管や消音器等の排気系を支持した際には排気系の車両幅方向の移動を規制することができる。したがって、この排気系が他の車両部品に干渉することを抑制できる。   As described above, when mounting, the elastic member 5 is inserted into the vehicle body mounting hole 5a through the bar on the vehicle body side, and as shown in FIG. 2, in the support device 1 joined to the exhaust pipe 4. The engaging portion 2d of the first support member 2 is press-fitted into the support device side mounting hole 5b of the elastic member 5 and protrudes to the counter press-fit side as shown in FIG. By this insertion, the reinforcing portion 3b of the second support member 3 is joined to the suspension portion 2c of the first support member 2, whereby the locking portion 2d and the reinforcement portion 3b sandwich the both ends of the elastic member 5, and the suspension portion The movement of 2c in the vehicle width direction can be restricted. Thereby, when an exhaust system such as an exhaust pipe or a silencer is supported by the support device 1, movement of the exhaust system in the vehicle width direction can be restricted. Therefore, this exhaust system can be prevented from interfering with other vehicle parts.

また、支持装置1を、第1支持部材2と第2支持部材3の2本の支持部材の各基部を排気管4に接合し、かつ、第2支持部材3の補強部3bを第1支持部材2の懸垂部2cに接合して3点支持構造に構成したので、懸垂部2cを含む支持装置1の強度と耐久性が向上する。このように、懸垂部2cを含む支持装置1全体の剛性を向上させることによって、支持装置1が緩やかに振動することを抑制し、共振周波数を高くすることができる。そのため車内こもり音の発生原因である低周波数の振動が車体に伝わり難くなり、低周波による車内のこもり音を抑制することができる。   Further, the support device 1 is configured such that the base portions of the two support members of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are joined to the exhaust pipe 4, and the reinforcing portion 3 b of the second support member 3 is first supported. Since it joined to the suspension part 2c of the member 2 and comprised in the 3 point | piece support structure, the intensity | strength and durability of the support apparatus 1 containing the suspension part 2c improve. As described above, by improving the rigidity of the entire support device 1 including the suspension portion 2c, it is possible to suppress the support device 1 from gently oscillating and to increase the resonance frequency. As a result, low-frequency vibration, which is the cause of the in-vehicle noise, is difficult to be transmitted to the vehicle body, and the in-vehicle noise due to the low frequency can be suppressed.

前記実施例では、第1支持部材2と第2支持部材3とを中空のパイプ状の棒材を用いて形成したが、中実状の棒材を用いてもよい。   In the said Example, although the 1st supporting member 2 and the 2nd supporting member 3 were formed using the hollow pipe-shaped bar, you may use a solid-shaped bar.

また、前記実施例では、第2支持部材3の補強部3bを第1支持部材2の懸垂部2cに接合したが、懸垂部2cと延長部2bの両方に接合してもよい。   Moreover, in the said Example, although the reinforcement part 3b of the 2nd support member 3 was joined to the suspension part 2c of the 1st support member 2, you may join to both the suspension part 2c and the extension part 2b.

また、前記実施例では、支持装置1を排気管4に直接溶接W1,W2により接合したが、ブラケットを介して接合してもよい。   Moreover, in the said Example, although the support apparatus 1 was joined to the exhaust pipe 4 directly by welding W1, W2, you may join via a bracket.

更に、前記実施例では排気管を支持する例を示したが、本発明の支持装置1を排気管に限らず、消音器や触媒コンバータなどの任意の排気系部品に接合して、排気系の支持に適用することができる   Furthermore, although the example which supports an exhaust pipe was shown in the said Example, not only an exhaust pipe but the support apparatus 1 of this invention is joined to arbitrary exhaust system components, such as a silencer and a catalytic converter, and an exhaust system is shown.
