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 pre-cleaner provided on the upstream side of the filtration portion of the air cleaner in the 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 for collecting foreign matter contained in the intake air is provided in the intake passage of the internal combustion engine. Further, a pre-cleaner for removing relatively large foreign matter contained in the intake air is provided in a portion of the intake passage on the upstream side of the filtration portion of the air cleaner (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 is provided in a tubular casing constituting the intake passage, a swivel generation blade provided inside the casing and generating a swirling flow of the same intake air by passing the intake air, and a swivel generation blade downstream of the swivel generation blade in the casing. It is provided on the side portion and is provided with a dust exhaust portion for discharging foreign matter centrifugally separated from the intake air by the swirling flow of the intake air.

特開昭63-192951号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-19251

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 swirling flow of the intake air depends on the inclination angle of each blade constituting the swivel generation blade with respect to the axis of the intake passage. That is, the larger the inclination angle of each blade with respect to the axis, the stronger the swirling flow.

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 swirling flow becomes stronger, the separation performance of foreign matter by centrifugal separation can be improved, but 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 capable of reducing 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。 The pre-cleaner of the internal combustion engine for achieving the above object is provided on the upstream side of the filtration portion of the air cleaner in the intake passage of the internal combustion engine, and is centered on a casing having a tubular side wall and an axis of the casing. It is provided with a swivel generating blade that swivels the intake air, and a portion of the side wall adjacent to the upstream side of the swivel 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 turning 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 swivel generation blade, the sound wave toward the upstream side of the swivel generation blade passes through the portion of the side wall of the casing adjacent to the upstream side of the swivel generation blade. It is absorbed when you do. That is, the pressure of the sound wave of the intake sound is radiated as heat energy by the ventilation of the fiber molded body constituting the side wall. As a result, the intake sound propagated 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.

高圧縮部の通気度(JISL1096,A法(フラジール形法))は、略0cm/cm・sとされている。また、高圧縮部の板厚としては、0.5~1.5mmであることが好ましい。本実施形態では、高圧縮部の板厚が0.7mmとされている。 The air permeability of the highly compressed portion (JISL1096, A method (Frazier type method)) is approximately 0 cm 3 / cm 2 · s. The plate thickness of the highly compressed portion is preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm. In the present embodiment, the plate thickness of the high compression portion is 0.7 mm.

低圧縮部の通気度は、3cm/cm・sとされている。また、低圧縮部の板厚としては、0.8~3.0mmであることが好ましい。本実施形態では、低圧縮部の板厚が1.0mmとされている。 The air permeability of the low compression portion is 3 cm 3 / cm 2 · s. The plate thickness of the low compression portion is preferably 0.8 to 3.0 mm. In the present embodiment, the plate thickness of the low compression portion is 1.0 mm.

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 operation and effect of this embodiment will be described.
(1) The portion of the side wall 11a of the casing 11 adjacent to the upstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 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 turning generation blade 20 is propagated to the outside through the introduction unit 12.
According to the above configuration, among the intake sounds generated when the intake air passes through the swivel generation blade 20, the sound wave toward the upstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 is directed to the upstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 in the side wall 11a of the casing 11. It is absorbed when passing through adjacent parts. That is, the pressure of the sound wave of the intake sound is radiated as heat energy by the ventilation of the fiber molded body constituting the side wall. As a result, the intake sound propagated to the outside through the introduction unit 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, the intake noise can be reduced.
(2) The portion of the side wall 11a adjacent to the downstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 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, among the intake sounds generated when the intake air passes through the swivel generation blade 20, the sound wave toward the downstream side from the swivel generation blade 20 is the downstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 in the side wall 11a of the casing 11. It is absorbed when passing through the part adjacent to. As a result, it is possible to reduce the intake noise propagated to the outside through the introduction portion 12 of the intake passage.

(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) Of the side wall 11a, portions adjacent to both the upstream side and the downstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 are integrally molded.
According to such a configuration, the portion of the side wall 11a adjacent to the upstream side and the portion adjacent to the downstream side of the swivel generation blade 20 are integrally molded, so that the number of parts can be reduced. This makes it possible to simplify the configuration of the side wall 11a.

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 molded with a breathable fiber molded body, the casing 11 may be deformed and closed due to the negative intake pressure because the rigidity tends to be insufficient. In that respect, according to the above configuration, since the side wall 11a is supported from the inner peripheral side by the swivel generation blade 20, 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 half-split bodies 10a and 10b forming a half-split cylinder. The swivel generation blade 20 has a cylinder portion 21 and a blade group 23 including a plurality of blades arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the axis C of the casing 11 inside the cylinder portion 21. The outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 21 is joined to the inner peripheral surface of the annular recess 11b of each of the half-split bodies 10a and 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 swivel generation blade 20 can be easily joined and assembled inside the side wall 11a.
(5) The turning generating blade 20 is positioned with respect to the casing 11 in the circumferential direction centered on the axis C of the side wall 11a by being locked to the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 21 and the inner peripheral surface of the half-split body 10a. The positioning convex portion 25 and the positioning concave portion 15 to be performed 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, the swivel generation blade 20 can be easily positioned with respect to the casing 11 in the circumferential direction.
<Modification example>

例えば、図6に示すように、筒部121の外周面から延びる突片125が挿入される位置決め凹部115を、ケーシング111の内周面に設けるようにすることもできる。
As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the positioning convex portion may be a protrusion extending in the direction perpendicular to the axis C from the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a positioning recess 115 into which a protrusion 125 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the tubular 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。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a pair of projecting pieces 225 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 221 may be sandwiched and joined by both joint portions 14a and 14b of each half-split body of the casing 211, respectively.

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 projecting pieces 325 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 321 are inserted into the through hole 315 provided in the casing 311 and the end portion 326 of the projecting pieces 325 protruding from the through hole 315 is inserted. , The retaining structure may be formed by heat caulking so as to be larger than the diameter in the circumferential direction of the through hole 315.
