Description
本発明は、EGR(排気再循環)システムに設けられるEGRクーラに関し、特に熱応力によってEGRクーラに亀裂が発生することを防止するEGRクーラに関する。 The present invention relates to an EGR cooler provided in an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system, and more particularly to an EGR cooler that prevents the EGR cooler from cracking due to thermal stress.
エンジンの排気系から吸気系に還流する排気(以下「EGRガス」という)を冷却するEGRクーラとして、伝熱管を利用したEGRクーラが開示されている(特許文献1参照)。 An EGR cooler using a heat transfer tube is disclosed as an EGR cooler that cools exhaust gas (hereinafter referred to as “EGR gas”) that recirculates from the exhaust system of the engine to the intake system (see Patent Document 1).
このEGRクーラは、冷却媒体が出入りする筒体の冷却媒体入口から冷却媒体出口へエンジン冷却水等の冷却媒体を流通させつつ伝熱管内にEGRガスを通過させることによって、EGRガスと冷却媒体とが熱交換をするように構成されている。
EGRガスと冷却媒体との熱交換時、伝熱管は、EGRガスや冷却媒体の温度に応じて主に筒体の中心軸方向に熱膨張しようとする。しかしながら、筒体と伝熱管とはエンドプレートを介してろう付けや溶接等によって固着されているので、軸方向に同じ長さしか伸縮できない。 During heat exchange between the EGR gas and the cooling medium, the heat transfer tube tends to thermally expand mainly in the direction of the central axis of the cylinder according to the temperature of the EGR gas or the cooling medium. However, since the cylindrical body and the heat transfer tube are fixed by brazing, welding, or the like via the end plate, only the same length can be expanded and contracted in the axial direction.
したがって、EGRガスと冷却媒体との温度差や、筒体と伝熱管との線膨張係数の違いにより、筒体と伝熱管とで軸方向に伸縮しようとする量、つまり熱膨張量に差が生じる。そして、その熱膨張差の分だけ伸縮が抑制されて、伝熱管とエンドプレートとの固着部やエンドプレートと筒体との固着部に熱応力が発生し、この熱応力が材料に応じた許容応力より大きくなると、これらの部位に亀裂が発生する虞がある。 Therefore, due to the temperature difference between the EGR gas and the cooling medium and the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the cylinder and the heat transfer tube, there is a difference in the amount of expansion and contraction in the axial direction between the cylinder and the heat transfer tube, that is, the amount of thermal expansion. Arise. The expansion and contraction is suppressed by the difference in thermal expansion, and thermal stress is generated in the fixing part between the heat transfer tube and the end plate and the fixing part between the end plate and the cylinder, and this thermal stress is allowed depending on the material. If it is greater than the stress, cracks may occur in these parts.
そこで、本発明は以上のような従来の問題点に鑑み、伝熱管とエンドプレートとの固着部やエンドプレートと筒体との固着部での熱膨張差を許容し、これらの部位に亀裂が発生することを防止するEGRクーラを提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, in view of the conventional problems as described above, the present invention allows a difference in thermal expansion at the fixing portion between the heat transfer tube and the end plate and the fixing portion between the end plate and the cylinder, and cracks are generated at these portions. It aims at providing the EGR cooler which prevents generating.

図1は本発明のEGRクーラの構成を示す断面図である。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration of an EGR cooler according to the present invention.
EGRクーラは、EGRガスが導入される導入部と、EGRガスと冷却媒体(以下、冷媒という。)との間で熱交換が行われる熱交換部と、熱交換により冷却されたEGRガスが排出される排出部とから構成される。 The EGR cooler discharges an EGR gas cooled by heat exchange, an introduction portion into which EGR gas is introduced, a heat exchange portion in which heat exchange is performed between the EGR gas and a cooling medium (hereinafter referred to as a refrigerant). And a discharge section.
導入部は、EGRガスが導入され、熱交換部へ導く略半椀状の入口ガイド部10と、この入口ガイド部10に固定され、EGRクーラを相手部品に取り付けるためのフランジ11から構成される。 The introduction part is composed of a substantially semi-cylindrical inlet guide part 10 to which EGR gas is introduced and led to the heat exchange part, and a flange 11 fixed to the inlet guide part 10 for attaching the EGR cooler to the counterpart part. .
熱交換部は、入口ガイド部10に固定される円筒状のシェル20と、このシェル内にシェルの中心軸方向に略平行に配置される複数のパイプ状の冷却管21と、複数の冷却管21が貫通し、冷却管21の両端部近傍を支持するとともに、シェル20の内壁に連結してシェル20内を密閉するプレート22a、22bとから構成される。 The heat exchange unit includes a cylindrical shell 20 fixed to the inlet guide unit 10, a plurality of pipe-shaped cooling pipes 21 disposed substantially parallel to the center axis direction of the shell in the shell, and a plurality of cooling pipes 21 is formed of plates 22a and 22b that pass through and support the vicinity of both ends of the cooling pipe 21, and are connected to the inner wall of the shell 20 to seal the inside of the shell 20.
シェル20には、さらにプレート22a、22bにより密閉されたシェル20内の冷却室25に冷媒を導入する冷媒入口部23と、冷媒が冷却室25から排出される冷媒出口部24とが備えられる。 The shell 20 is further provided with a refrigerant inlet 23 for introducing the refrigerant into the cooling chamber 25 in the shell 20 sealed by the plates 22 a and 22 b, and a refrigerant outlet 24 for discharging the refrigerant from the cooling chamber 25.
排出部は、シェル20に固定されるとともに、冷却管21からEGRガスが導入され、下流部へ導く略半椀状の出口ガイド部30と、この出口ガイド部30に固定され、EGRクーラを相手部品に取り付けるためのフランジ31から構成される。 The discharge part is fixed to the shell 20, EGR gas is introduced from the cooling pipe 21, and is fixed to the substantially semi-circular outlet guide part 30 that leads to the downstream part, and the outlet guide part 30. It is comprised from the flange 31 for attaching to components.
このような構成を有するEGRクーラの作用を説明する。 The operation of the EGR cooler having such a configuration will be described.
導入部に導入されたEGRガスは、導入部に開口する各冷却管21内に流れ込み、冷却管21内を流通する。密閉されたシェル20内には冷媒、例えばエンジン冷却水が冷媒入口部23から導入され、EGRガスが冷却管21内を流通する間に、シェル20内に充填された冷媒との間で熱交換が行われ、EGRガスは熱を冷媒に吸熱される。そして放熱したEGRガスは、排出部から下流側へと排出される。 The EGR gas introduced into the introduction part flows into each cooling pipe 21 that opens to the introduction part, and flows through the cooling pipe 21. A refrigerant, for example, engine cooling water, is introduced into the sealed shell 20 from the refrigerant inlet 23 and heat exchange is performed with the refrigerant filled in the shell 20 while the EGR gas flows through the cooling pipe 21. The EGR gas absorbs heat from the refrigerant. The radiated EGR gas is discharged from the discharge portion to the downstream side.
次に本発明の特徴的な構成について図1を用いて説明する。 Next, a characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
本発明は、EGRクーラの冷却管21とシェル20との間での温度差に起因する熱膨張差を吸収することを目的としている。そこで、本発明では少なくとも一方のプレート22a、22bとシェル20との間に弾性変形可能な弾性部材40を配置することを特徴とする。 The object of the present invention is to absorb a difference in thermal expansion caused by a temperature difference between the cooling pipe 21 and the shell 20 of the EGR cooler. Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that an elastic member 40 that is elastically deformable is disposed between at least one of the plates 22 a and 22 b and the shell 20.
図1によれば、シェル20と下流側のプレート22b間に配置される弾性部材40は、環状の部材であり、例えば薄厚ステンレス鋼板にて形成される。そして、この鋼板にシェル20の中心軸方向に開口する凹状の環状溝41を複数設置された冷却管21を取り囲むように形成する。弾性部材40は、シェル20及びプレート22bにロウ付けや溶接等により固定される。なお、本実施形態においては、弾性部材40を一方のプレート22bとシェル20間に配置したが、双方に配置するようにしてもよい。 According to FIG. 1, the elastic member 40 disposed between the shell 20 and the downstream plate 22b is an annular member, and is formed of, for example, a thin stainless steel plate. Then, a concave annular groove 41 that opens in the direction of the central axis of the shell 20 is formed on the steel plate so as to surround the cooling pipes 21 that are installed. The elastic member 40 is fixed to the shell 20 and the plate 22b by brazing or welding. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 40 is disposed between the one plate 22b and the shell 20, but may be disposed on both.
このような構成により、弾性部材40は、シェル20の中心軸方向に弾性変形可能に形成される。そして、弾性部材40をシェル20とプレート22b間に配置することにより、EGRガスと冷媒との間での熱交換に伴って生じるシェル20と冷却管21との間の熱膨張差を弾性部材40が吸収できる。このため、熱膨張差に起因する熱応力の発生を抑制し、シェル20とプレート22a、22bとの間、あるいはプレート22a、22bと冷却管21との間の固定部の亀裂の発生を防ぐことができる。 With such a configuration, the elastic member 40 is formed to be elastically deformable in the central axis direction of the shell 20. Then, by disposing the elastic member 40 between the shell 20 and the plate 22b, a difference in thermal expansion between the shell 20 and the cooling pipe 21 caused by heat exchange between the EGR gas and the refrigerant is determined by the elastic member 40. Can be absorbed. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of the thermal stress resulting from a thermal expansion difference is suppressed, and generation | occurrence | production of the crack of the fixing | fixed part between the shell 20 and plate 22a, 22b or between plate 22a, 22b and the cooling pipe 21 is prevented. Can do.
また弾性部材40は、薄厚鋼板に凹状の環状溝を、例えばプレス加工により形成するという簡単な手段により弾性変形可能に形成することができる。 Further, the elastic member 40 can be formed to be elastically deformable by a simple means of forming a concave annular groove in a thin steel plate by, for example, pressing.
図2は、本発明のEGRクーラの第2の実施形態の構成を示す断面図である。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the EGR cooler of the present invention.
この実施形態は、第1の実施形態に対してプレート自体が弾性変形可能に構成される点に特徴を有する。弾性プレート50は、図2に示すように薄厚円板状の部材であり、冷却管21が貫通する複数の孔部51が形成される。孔部51にはフランジ部52が形成され、冷却管21とフランジ部52との接触面積が大きくなり、ロウ付け等による冷却管21とフランジ部52との結合を確実にする。 This embodiment is characterized in that the plate itself is configured to be elastically deformable with respect to the first embodiment. The elastic plate 50 is a thin disk-shaped member as shown in FIG. 2, and a plurality of holes 51 through which the cooling pipe 21 passes are formed. A flange 52 is formed in the hole 51, and the contact area between the cooling pipe 21 and the flange 52 is increased, and the coupling between the cooling pipe 21 and the flange 52 by brazing or the like is ensured.
弾性プレート50は、第1の実施形態の弾性部材40と同様の凹部53を備えて、シェル20の中心軸方向の弾性変形を可能としている。 The elastic plate 50 includes a concave portion 53 similar to the elastic member 40 of the first embodiment, and enables elastic deformation in the central axis direction of the shell 20.
このような弾性プレート50を備えることにより、第1の実施形態と同様の効果を奏するとともに、弾性部材を廃止することができるため、部品点数の削減、コストの低減、軽量化を図ることができる。 By providing such an elastic plate 50, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained, and the elastic member can be eliminated, so that the number of parts, the cost, and the weight can be reduced. .
なお、本実施形態の弾性プレート50を用いて冷却管21の両端部を支持するようにしてもよい。 In addition, you may make it support the both ends of the cooling pipe 21 using the elastic plate 50 of this embodiment.
以上説明した実施形態に限定されることなく、その技術的思想の範囲内において種々の変形や変更が可能であり、それらも本発明と均等であることは明白である。 The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the technical idea, and it is obvious that these are equivalent to the present invention.
