Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent rupture of a honeycomb part by inserting a reinforcing wavy sheet with a specified thickness between the outer surface of the honeycomb part and the inner surface of an outer cylinder encircling the outer surface of the honeycomb part. CONSTITUTION:Circling at least one circle of the outer surface of a honeycomb part 1, a reinforcing wavy sheet with a thickness thicker than those of a platy sheet 10 and a wavy sheet 11 of the honeycomb part 1 and thinner than that of an outer cylinder 3 is inserted between the outer surface of the honeycomb part 1 and the inner surface of the outer cylinder 3. By this structure, convergence of stress caused by difference of coefficients of thermal expansions and temperature distribution of the honeycomb part and the outer cylinder is moderated. Rupture of the honeycomb part is thus prevented.

[Prior art] As a metal carrier for an exhaust gas purification catalyst, for example, JP-A-56
As seen in Japanese Patent No. 4373, a flat plate 101 and a corrugated plate 102 as shown in FIG. 4 are stacked and rolled to form a honeycomb portion 100.
It is known that the metal outer tube 200 is housed in a metal outer cylinder 200.

In this metal carrier, the flat plate 101 and the corrugated plate 102 of the honeycomb part 100, and the outer cylinder 200 and the honeycomb part 100 are usually integrally joined by brazing.

In this metal carrier, a catalyst support layer made of alumina or the like is formed on the surface of the honeycomb passages of the honeycomb portion 100, and a noble metal catalyst is supported on the catalyst support layer to serve as an exhaust gas purification catalyst. It is placed in the exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine to purify HC, Co, NOX, etc. in the exhaust gas. Note that since it is desirable to secure as much area as possible for the honeycomb passages in a limited volume, the thicknesses of the flat plate 101 and the corrugated plate 102 are made as thin as possible within a range that maintains their strength.

By the way, the exhaust gas passing through the honeycomb part has a higher flow velocity at the center than at the outer periphery of the honeycomb part. Therefore, in the metal carrier, due to contact with high-temperature exhaust gas and heat generated by catalytic reaction, a temperature distribution occurs in which the middle portion is extremely high and the outer peripheral portion is low. Therefore, the engraving due to heat and the amount of shrinkage during cooling are large in the center of the honeycomb part, and the amount of engraving and shrinkage in the outer tube is the smallest. The thickness of the flat plate and corrugated plate constituting the honeycomb portion is generally much smaller than the thickness of the outer cylinder. Furthermore, since the honeycomb portion and the outer cylinder are generally made of different materials, their coefficients of thermal expansion are also different.

Therefore, the stress generated by the greatest difference between engraving and shrinkage is concentrated at the boundary between the honeycomb portion and the outer cylinder, as shown in FIG. 3A. However, since the rigidity of the corrugated sheet of the honeycomb portion is low at the boundary between the honeycomb portion and the outer tube, the corrugated sheet 102 may break at the portions on both sides of the top where it is joined to the outer tube 200, as shown in FIG. was there.

That is, during heating, there is a difference in the amount of engraving between the honeycomb part and the outer cylinder due to the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion. Generally, the engraving is larger on the honeycomb part, but since the engraving on the outermost corrugated sheet is restricted by the outer cylinder, plastic deformation may occur in the outermost corrugated sheet. Plastic deformation is particularly likely to occur at high temperatures. When the metal carrier is cooled, the honeycomb portion generally contracts more than the outer cylinder. Therefore, due to repeated engraving and shrinkage, metal fatigue occurs in the outermost corrugated plate of the honeycomb portion, and eventually breakage may occur at the same portion as shown in FIG. 5. Furthermore, during brazing during the manufacturing of the metal carrier, the metal carrier reaches a high temperature of 1200'C, which makes it even more likely that the difference in engraving between the honeycomb part and the outer cylinder will occur. Plastic deformation occurred, and the parts on both sides of the top of the corrugated plate joined to the outer cylinder sometimes broke during cooling.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to alleviate the concentration of stress caused by the difference in temperature distribution and the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the honeycomb part and the outer cylinder. The purpose is to prevent the honeycomb portion from breaking.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The metal carrier for an exhaust gas purification catalyst of the present invention includes a honeycomb portion formed by stacking a flat plate and a corrugated plate and winding them into a roll, and an outer cylinder in which the honeycomb portion is housed. In the metal carrier, between the outer circumferential surface of the honeycomb part and the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder, there is a plate having a thickness that goes around the outer circumferential surface of the honeycomb part at least once and is thicker than the plate thickness of the flat plate and corrugated plate and thinner than the plate thickness of the outer cylinder. It is characterized by the presence of a reinforcing corrugated plate.

The honeycomb portion is formed by stacking a flat plate and a corrugated plate and winding them into a roll. A corrugated plate is usually formed by bending a flat plate into a wave shape, and is made of the same material and has the same thickness as the flat plate. These flat plates and corrugated plates can be used in the same way as in the past, such as AQ

As described above, since it is preferable to secure as much area as possible for the honeycomb passages in a limited volume, a relatively thin plate having a thickness of, for example, 0.05 mm is used. This honeycomb part is formed by, for example, applying a brazing material to the top of a corrugated plate, stacking it on a flat plate and rolling it up into a roll, and heating the corrugated plate after being housed in an outer cylinder. As a result, the flat plate and the corrugated plate are brazed and integrally joined. Alternatively, they can be integrated by diffusion bonding.

The greatest feature of the present invention is that a reinforcing corrugated plate is interposed between the outer circumferential surface of the honeycomb portion and the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder.

The thickness of the reinforcing corrugated sheet is greater than the thickness of the flat plate and corrugated sheet forming the honeycomb portion. For example, the plate thickness is preferably about 1.1 to 10 times that of a flat plate or a corrugated plate. As a result, the reinforcing corrugated plate has higher rigidity than the honeycomb portion, and can be prevented from breaking. Note that the thickness of the reinforcing corrugated plate needs to be smaller than the thickness of the outer cylinder. When the thickness is equal to or greater than that of the outer cylinder, the stiffness of the reinforcing corrugated plate becomes too high, making it difficult to deform and absorbing the stress generated in the honeycomb portion.

The reinforcing corrugated plate has a corrugated plate shape. Thereby, the reinforcing corrugated plate can be elastically deformed under the force of expansion or contraction of the honeycomb portion, and stress concentration on the honeycomb portion can be alleviated. In order to facilitate elastic deformation of the reinforcing corrugated sheet, it is preferable that the pitch of the corrugated sheets of the reinforcing corrugated sheet be larger than the pitch of the corrugated sheets of the honeycomb portion, for example. Alternatively, it is also preferable that the height of the waves of the reinforcing corrugated plate be larger than that of the honeycomb portion. With this configuration, the reinforcing corrugated plate becomes easier to elastically deform, and the stress generated in the honeycomb portion is more easily absorbed. Roughly, small waves may be provided on the reinforcing corrugated plate. In this way, the reinforcing corrugated plate becomes more easily elastically deformed.

Further, the material of the reinforcing corrugated plate may be the same as that of the honeycomb portion or the outer cylinder, but it is desirable to select a material whose coefficient of thermal expansion is intermediate between that of the outer cylinder and the honeycomb portion. With this configuration, the amount of expansion or contraction of the reinforcing corrugated plate is approximately between that of the honeycomb portion and the outer cylinder, and sudden changes in the amount of expansion or contraction are prevented. Thereby, stress generated between the honeycomb portion and the reinforcing corrugated plate and between the reinforcing corrugated plate and the outer cylinder can be reduced.

The reinforcing corrugated plate is formed so as to go around the outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb portion at least once. At this time, the number of winding layers is set to the optimum number depending on the outer diameter of the honeycomb part and the difference in the engraving coefficient between the honeycomb part and the outer cylinder. In addition, when setting it as - circumference or more, you may interpose a flat plate with the same plate thickness as the reinforcing corrugated plate.

Although the reinforcing corrugated plate can be formed on the surface of the corrugated plate of the honeycomb portion, in order to sufficiently receive the stress generated in the honeycomb portion, it is preferable to form the reinforcing corrugated plate on the flat plate surface of the honeycomb portion. Note that the reinforcing corrugated plate and the honeycomb portion may be integrated or may be separate bodies.

[Function] In the metal carrier for an exhaust gas purification catalyst of the present invention, a reinforcing corrugated plate that is thicker than the flat plate and the corrugated plate is interposed between the honeycomb portion and the outer cylinder. Therefore, the reinforcing corrugated plate is interposed at the boundary with the outer cylinder where stress due to expansion or contraction of the honeycomb portion is most concentrated, and its high rigidity prevents breakage at the boundary.

Further, the reinforcing corrugated plate has a corrugated plate shape. Therefore, when the force of the honeycomb portion expanded when heated to a high temperature acts on the reinforcing corrugated plate, the reinforcing corrugated plate is elastically deformed between the honeycomb portion and the outer cylinder and follows the deformation of the honeycomb portion. As a result, the stress generated in the honeycomb portion is dispersed to the contact portion between the honeycomb portion and the reinforcing corrugated plate and the contact portion between the reinforcing corrugated plate and the outer cylinder, and the stress acting on the honeycomb portion is reduced. Further, when the honeycomb portion contracts during cooling, the reinforcing corrugated plate also deforms accordingly, so that the stress generated in the honeycomb portion is reduced. That is, the stress concentration on the contact portion between the honeycomb portion and the outer cylinder is alleviated by the deformation of the reinforcing corrugated plate, and breakage of the honeycomb portion is prevented.

In the metal carrier of this embodiment, the reinforcing corrugated plate 2, which is thicker than the flat plate 10 and the corrugated plate 11, is interposed at the boundary with the outer cylinder 3, where stress due to expansion or contraction of the honeycomb portion is concentrated. ing. Therefore, since the rigidity of that part is high, breakage is prevented. Further, the reinforcing corrugated sheet 2 has a corrugated sheet shape, the pitch and height of the corrugations are larger than the corrugated sheet 11, and the thermal engraving rate is between that of the honeycomb portion 1 and the outer cylinder 3. Therefore, the reinforcing corrugated plate 2 is easily elastically deformed by the movement of expansion or contraction of the honeycomb portion 1, and the stress concentration on the contact portion between the honeycomb portion 1 and the outer cylinder 3 is alleviated. This also prevents the honeycomb portion 1 from breaking. Incidentally, FIG. 3B shows the stress distribution of expansion or contraction from the outer periphery toward the inner periphery of the metal carrier of this example. From FIG. 3, it is clear that the metal carrier of this example has less stress concentration than the conventional product. In addition, the reinforcing corrugated plate 2
Even if the material of the honeycomb portion 1 is the same (the linear expansion coefficient is the same), the effect of changing the wave shape remains, and the same effect as when using an intermediate linear expansion coefficient can be ensured. However, in that case, it is desirable that the number of winding layers of the reinforcing corrugated sheet be about 1.5 to 2 times that of the case where an intermediate coefficient of linear expansion is used.
