- Exhaust gas treatment units for example, catalytic converters in exhaust systems of internal combustion engines in vehicles, are generally composed of a substrate, which has a substrate body which is coated with a material that is suitable for the treatment of exhaust gas, for example, with a catalyst material.
- a plurality of cells extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate are formed in the substrate body, which is made, for example, of ceramic material, wherein the exhaust gas to be treated can flow through each such cell essentially in the substrate longitudinal direction and thus provides a flow duct for the exhaust gas to be treated.
- a very large surface, around which exhaust gas can flow and in the area of which an exhaust gas treatment can take place, for example, by interacting with catalytically active material to reduce the pollutants contained in the exhaust gas, is provided in this manner.
- Such substrates are generally accommodated in a housing with a tubular circumferential wall.
- the substrates are wrapped with fiber mats, which are compressed when the substrates are pressed into the tubular circumferential wall and then have a holding effect, hold this substrate in a stable manner at the circumferential wall between a respective circumferential wall and the outer circumference of a substrate accommodated there.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate for an exhaust gas treatment unit, and in particular for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, which substrate has an increased strength against loads exerted onto same from outside.

- Substrates which are, above all, flattened, i.e., configured, for example, with an elliptical outer contour, exhibit the tendency to extend in the direction of the flattening direction in case of a pressure load from the radially outward direction in relation to the substrate longitudinal direction.
- a better load distribution in case of a load from the radially outward direction is achieved by the bending at an angle of the cell walls in relation to the flattening direction, i.e., the arrangement such that the cell walls extend neither parallel nor at right angles to the flattening direction, as a result of which the risk of formation of cracks in the substrate body due to locally excessively high surface pressure is markedly reduced.
- first cell walls which are arranged parallel to one another and at spaced locations from one another
- second cell walls which are arranged parallel to one another and at spaced locations from one another
- the first cell walls are disposed at an angle in relation to the second cell walls such that the cells are each defined by two first cell walls and by two second cell walls, which means in an especially preferred embodiment that the cells are only defined each by two first cell walls parallel to one another and two second cell walls parallel to one another, i.e., by a total of four cell walls.
- the first cell walls may be disposed at an angle of about 90° in relation to the second cell walls for an especially uniform load distribution.

- Cells lines may be formed with cells adjacent to one another in the substrate body, wherein the cells of a cell line are defined by the two identical first cell walls or by the two identical second cell walls. This means that the first or second cell walls defining the cells of particular cell lines run essentially without interruption along all cells associated with a particular cell line and may extend, for example, from an area adjoining an outer circumferential area of the substrate body up to an area adjoining an opposite outer circumferential area of the substrate body.
- the first cell walls and the second cell walls may form a grid-like (grid or grid-shaped) cell wall structure.
- the first cell walls and the second cell walls are preferably essentially unbent for a structure that is stable per se, wherein the cells preferably further have an essentially rectangular, preferably square cross-sectional contour.
- a very good load distribution in case of impact from the outside can be achieved, when the cell walls are disposed at an angle in a range from 40° to 50°, preferably at about 45°, in relation to the flattening direction.
- the substrate body be configured with an essentially mirror-symmetrical outer circumferential contour in relation to a first longitudinal central plane, which is extended in the flattening direction and in the substrate longitudinal direction, or/and that the substrate body be configured with an essentially mirror-symmetrical outer circumferential contour in relation to a second longitudinal central plane, which is extended at right angles to the flattening direction and in the substrate longitudinal direction.
- the substrate body has a flattened, round, preferably essentially elliptical outer circumferential contour.
- the substrate body has an essentially cylindrical configuration preferably in relation to the substrate longitudinal direction for a simple insertion of the substrate into a tubular housing.
- the substrate body be made of ceramic material.
- the cell walls may be coated with exhaust gas treatment material, preferably with catalyst material for an efficient exhaust gas treatment.
- the present invention further pertains to an exhaust gas treatment unit, especially for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing with a tubular circumferential wall, which encloses a housing interior, and at least one substrate with the configuration according to the present invention, which substrate is arranged in the interior.
- At least one substrate preferably each substrate, which is arranged in the interior, be enclosed by at least one layer of support material in a manner supporting the substrate in relation to the circumferential wall.
- the circumferential wall may also be flattened in the flattening direction in adaptation to the design of a substrate configured according to the present invention.
- the circumferential wall may have a flattened, round, preferably essentially elliptical outer circumferential contour.
- FIGURE is a cross-sectional view of an exhaust gas treatment unit with a substrate accommodated in a tubular housing.
- an exhaust gas treatment unit for example, a catalytic converter unit, for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle is generally designated by 10 in FIG. 1 .
- the exhaust gas treatment unit 10 comprises a tubular housing 12 with a longitudinal central axis L at right angles to the drawing plane of FIG. 1 .
- the housing 12 comprises a circumferential wall 14 , which is made, for example, of sheet metal material and which is flattened in a flattening direction A and thus has a flattened, round, for example, elliptical outer circumferential contour in the example shown.
- a substrate generally designated by 16 is arranged in the interior of the housing 12 , which interior is enclosed by the circumferential wall 14 .
- the substrate 16 has a substrate body 18 , which is made, for example, of ceramic material.
- a plurality of cells 24 which are defined by first cell walls 20 and by second cell walls 22 , which extend in a substrate longitudinal direction S, which corresponds essentially to the direction of extension in the longitudinal central axis L in the example shown, are formed in the substrate body 18 .
- the first cell walls 20 and the second cell walls 22 are disposed at an angle in relation to the flattening direction A and have an angle of about 45° to this flattening direction in the example shown. In this case, in the view of FIG.
- the first cell walls 20 extend obliquely from the left bottom to the right top or vice versa, while the second cell walls 22 extend obliquely from the right bottom to the left top or vice versa. Since both the first cell walls 20 and the second cell walls 22 are disposed at an angle of about 45° in relation to the flattening direction, the first cell walls 20 and the second cell walls 22 are approximately at right angles to one another.
- the first cell walls 20 and also the second cell walls 22 extend each essentially without interruption between two outer circumferential areas of the substrate body 18 , a grid-shaped structure of the cell walls 20 , 22 is obtained, in which the cells 24 defined by two first cell walls 20 directly adjacent to one another and two second cell walls 22 directly adjacent to one another have a rectangular cross-sectional contour. Since, furthermore, the mutual spacing of all first cell walls 20 directly adjacent to one another corresponds in an especially preferred embodiment essentially to the mutual spacing of all second cell walls 22 directly adjacent to one another, the cells 24 have a square cross-sectional contour as well.
- First cell lines which are illustrated by a line L 1 in FIG. 1 , are formed by cells 24 adjacent to one another or following one another in the direction of the line L 1 between the first cell walls 20 , which are parallel to one another and are disposed at an angle in relation to the flattening direction A.
- second cells lines which are illustrated by a line L 2 in FIG. 1 , are formed by cells 24 adjacent to one another or following one another in the direction of the line L 2 between the second cell walls 22 , which are parallel to one another and are disposed at an angle in relation to the flattening direction A. All cells 24 in a particular first cell line L 1 are defined by the two identical first cell walls 20 and all cells 24 in a particular second cell line L 2 are defined by the two identical second cell walls 22 .
- the substrate 16 has a flattened, round, for example, elliptical outer circumferential contour of the circumferential wall 14 in adaptation to the cross-sectional contour of the circumferential wall 14 .
- the substrate 16 has an especially mirror-symmetrical outer circumferential contour, which is symmetrical to a first longitudinal central plane that extends essentially in the flattening direction A and in the direction of the longitudinal central axis L.
- This first longitudinal central plane E 1 intersects the substrate 16 in the two areas 26 with maximum radius of curvature of the outer circumferential contour, which areas are diametrically opposed to each other.
- the substrate 16 has an especially mirror-symmetrical configuration, which is also symmetrical to a second longitudinal central plane E 2 , which is at right angles to the first longitudinal central plane E 1 and also contains the longitudinal central axis L.
- the second longitudinal central plane E 2 intersects the outer circumference of the substrate 16 in areas 28 with minimal radius of curvature of the outer circumferential contour of the substrate 16 , which areas 28 are diametrically opposed to each other.
- the substrate 16 When the substrate 16 is inserted into the housing 12 or into the circumferential wall 14 of same, at first the substrate 16 is wrapped with at least one layer of support material 30 , for example, fiber mat or the like. The thus wrapped substrate 16 is then inserted into the housing 12 , for example, via an insertion funnel. In this case, the layer of support material 30 is compressed, so that the substrate 16 is held by the compressed layer of support material 30 in a defined position in the interior of the housing 12 . In the course of this insertion motion, the greatest surface pressure is exerted onto the substrate 16 in transition areas 32 between the areas 28 with minimal radius of curvature and the areas 26 with maximum radius of curvature.
- the layer of support material 30 for example, fiber mat or the like.
- the cell walls 20 , 22 extend at an angle of about 45° in relation to the flattening direction A, one of the two types of cell walls 20 , 22 each extends in each of the transition areas 32 , in which the outer circumferential contour of the substrate 16 has an average radius of curvature, approximately at right angles to the force F acting from outside on the substrate 16 in these areas.
- the result is that the forces acting on the substrate 16 in these high-load areas can be absorbed in the respective cell walls 20 , 22 which extend approximately in the force introduction direction, without a significant deformation of the substrate 16 being generated, since the substrate 16 also essentially has its maximum stiffness in the direction of the force introduction. The risk that damage, for example, cracks in the substrate body 18 is brought about by such loads is thus reduced significantly.
- the substrate body 18 when used in a catalytic converter unit, the substrate body 18 can be coated with catalytically active material on its cell walls 20 , 22 defining the cells 24 .
- the exhaust gas flowing through the cells 24 can thus interact with the catalytic material in the area of a comparatively large surface in the interior of the substrate body 18 for carrying out the catalytic reaction, so that such a catalytic converter may be effective, for example, as an oxidation catalytic converter or as a SCR catalytic converter.

Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of
German Application 10 2019 107 386.3, filed Mar. 22, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. - The present invention pertains to a substrate for an exhaust gas treatment unit, especially for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, as well as to an exhaust gas treatment unit configured with such a substrate.
- Exhaust gas treatment units, for example, catalytic converters in exhaust systems of internal combustion engines in vehicles, are generally composed of a substrate, which has a substrate body which is coated with a material that is suitable for the treatment of exhaust gas, for example, with a catalyst material. A plurality of cells extending in the longitudinal direction of the substrate are formed in the substrate body, which is made, for example, of ceramic material, wherein the exhaust gas to be treated can flow through each such cell essentially in the substrate longitudinal direction and thus provides a flow duct for the exhaust gas to be treated. A very large surface, around which exhaust gas can flow and in the area of which an exhaust gas treatment can take place, for example, by interacting with catalytically active material to reduce the pollutants contained in the exhaust gas, is provided in this manner.
- Such substrates are generally accommodated in a housing with a tubular circumferential wall. For a stable holding of the substrates in such a circumferential wall, the substrates are wrapped with fiber mats, which are compressed when the substrates are pressed into the tubular circumferential wall and then have a holding effect, hold this substrate in a stable manner at the circumferential wall between a respective circumferential wall and the outer circumference of a substrate accommodated there.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate for an exhaust gas treatment unit, and in particular for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, which substrate has an increased strength against loads exerted onto same from outside.
- According to the present invention, this object is accomplished by a substrate for an exhaust gas treatment unit, especially for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, comprising a substrate body elongated in the substrate longitudinal direction, wherein the substrate body is flattened (has a less round or a flattened, round, or an elliptical outer circumferential contour or has a cylindrical shape with one smaller radial dimension) in a flattening direction essentially at right angles to the substrate longitudinal direction, wherein a plurality of cells, which extend essentially in the substrate longitudinal direction and provide flow ducts, are formed in the substrate body, wherein the cells are defined by cell walls, which extend essentially in the substrate longitudinal direction, and the cell walls are bent (extend and are disposed) at an angle in relation to the flattening direction.
- Substrates, which are, above all, flattened, i.e., configured, for example, with an elliptical outer contour, exhibit the tendency to extend in the direction of the flattening direction in case of a pressure load from the radially outward direction in relation to the substrate longitudinal direction. A better load distribution in case of a load from the radially outward direction is achieved by the bending at an angle of the cell walls in relation to the flattening direction, i.e., the arrangement such that the cell walls extend neither parallel nor at right angles to the flattening direction, as a result of which the risk of formation of cracks in the substrate body due to locally excessively high surface pressure is markedly reduced.
- For a configuration that is stable and nevertheless suitable for absorbing high loads from the outside, it is proposed that first cell walls, which are arranged parallel to one another and at spaced locations from one another, and second cell walls, which are arranged parallel to one another and at spaced locations from one another, be provided, wherein the first cell walls are disposed at an angle in relation to the second cell walls such that the cells are each defined by two first cell walls and by two second cell walls, which means in an especially preferred embodiment that the cells are only defined each by two first cell walls parallel to one another and two second cell walls parallel to one another, i.e., by a total of four cell walls. In this case, the first cell walls may be disposed at an angle of about 90° in relation to the second cell walls for an especially uniform load distribution.
- For a homogeneous structure in the interior of the substrate body, it is proposed that the mutual spacing from one another of directly adjacent first cell walls correspond essentially to the mutual spacing from one another of directly adjacent second cell walls.
- Cells lines may be formed with cells adjacent to one another in the substrate body, wherein the cells of a cell line are defined by the two identical first cell walls or by the two identical second cell walls. This means that the first or second cell walls defining the cells of particular cell lines run essentially without interruption along all cells associated with a particular cell line and may extend, for example, from an area adjoining an outer circumferential area of the substrate body up to an area adjoining an opposite outer circumferential area of the substrate body.
- The first cell walls and the second cell walls may form a grid-like (grid or grid-shaped) cell wall structure. Further, the first cell walls and the second cell walls are preferably essentially unbent for a structure that is stable per se, wherein the cells preferably further have an essentially rectangular, preferably square cross-sectional contour. Further, a very good load distribution in case of impact from the outside can be achieved, when the cell walls are disposed at an angle in a range from 40° to 50°, preferably at about 45°, in relation to the flattening direction.
- To provide a symmetrical, yet flattened outer circumferential contour of the substrate, it is proposed that the substrate body be configured with an essentially mirror-symmetrical outer circumferential contour in relation to a first longitudinal central plane, which is extended in the flattening direction and in the substrate longitudinal direction, or/and that the substrate body be configured with an essentially mirror-symmetrical outer circumferential contour in relation to a second longitudinal central plane, which is extended at right angles to the flattening direction and in the substrate longitudinal direction.
- Peak loads in corners or edge areas can be avoided when the substrate body has a flattened, round, preferably essentially elliptical outer circumferential contour. Further, the substrate body has an essentially cylindrical configuration preferably in relation to the substrate longitudinal direction for a simple insertion of the substrate into a tubular housing.
- For a configuration that is thermally stable and resistant to environmental effects, it is proposed that the substrate body be made of ceramic material. Further, the cell walls may be coated with exhaust gas treatment material, preferably with catalyst material for an efficient exhaust gas treatment.
- The present invention further pertains to an exhaust gas treatment unit, especially for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing with a tubular circumferential wall, which encloses a housing interior, and at least one substrate with the configuration according to the present invention, which substrate is arranged in the interior.
- For a stable holding that is nevertheless simple to establish, it is proposed that at least one substrate, preferably each substrate, which is arranged in the interior, be enclosed by at least one layer of support material in a manner supporting the substrate in relation to the circumferential wall.
- The circumferential wall may also be flattened in the flattening direction in adaptation to the design of a substrate configured according to the present invention. In particular, the circumferential wall may have a flattened, round, preferably essentially elliptical outer circumferential contour.
- The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated.
- In the drawings:
- The only FIGURE is a cross-sectional view of an exhaust gas treatment unit with a substrate accommodated in a tubular housing.
- Referring to the drawings, an exhaust gas treatment unit, for example, a catalytic converter unit, for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle is generally designated by 10 in
FIG. 1 . The exhaustgas treatment unit 10 comprises atubular housing 12 with a longitudinal central axis L at right angles to the drawing plane ofFIG. 1 . Thehousing 12 comprises acircumferential wall 14, which is made, for example, of sheet metal material and which is flattened in a flattening direction A and thus has a flattened, round, for example, elliptical outer circumferential contour in the example shown. - A substrate generally designated by 16 is arranged in the interior of the
housing 12, which interior is enclosed by thecircumferential wall 14. The substrate 16 has asubstrate body 18, which is made, for example, of ceramic material. A plurality ofcells 24, which are defined byfirst cell walls 20 and bysecond cell walls 22, which extend in a substrate longitudinal direction S, which corresponds essentially to the direction of extension in the longitudinal central axis L in the example shown, are formed in thesubstrate body 18. Thefirst cell walls 20 and thesecond cell walls 22 are disposed at an angle in relation to the flattening direction A and have an angle of about 45° to this flattening direction in the example shown. In this case, in the view ofFIG. 1 , thefirst cell walls 20 extend obliquely from the left bottom to the right top or vice versa, while thesecond cell walls 22 extend obliquely from the right bottom to the left top or vice versa. Since both thefirst cell walls 20 and thesecond cell walls 22 are disposed at an angle of about 45° in relation to the flattening direction, thefirst cell walls 20 and thesecond cell walls 22 are approximately at right angles to one another. Since, furthermore, thefirst cell walls 20 and also thesecond cell walls 22 extend each essentially without interruption between two outer circumferential areas of thesubstrate body 18, a grid-shaped structure of thecell walls cells 24 defined by twofirst cell walls 20 directly adjacent to one another and twosecond cell walls 22 directly adjacent to one another have a rectangular cross-sectional contour. Since, furthermore, the mutual spacing of allfirst cell walls 20 directly adjacent to one another corresponds in an especially preferred embodiment essentially to the mutual spacing of allsecond cell walls 22 directly adjacent to one another, thecells 24 have a square cross-sectional contour as well. - First cell lines, which are illustrated by a line L1 in
FIG. 1 , are formed bycells 24 adjacent to one another or following one another in the direction of the line L1 between thefirst cell walls 20, which are parallel to one another and are disposed at an angle in relation to the flattening direction A. Equally, second cells lines, which are illustrated by a line L2 inFIG. 1 , are formed bycells 24 adjacent to one another or following one another in the direction of the line L2 between thesecond cell walls 22, which are parallel to one another and are disposed at an angle in relation to the flattening direction A. Allcells 24 in a particular first cell line L1 are defined by the two identicalfirst cell walls 20 and allcells 24 in a particular second cell line L2 are defined by the two identicalsecond cell walls 22. - The substrate 16 has a flattened, round, for example, elliptical outer circumferential contour of the
circumferential wall 14 in adaptation to the cross-sectional contour of thecircumferential wall 14. In this case, the substrate 16 has an especially mirror-symmetrical outer circumferential contour, which is symmetrical to a first longitudinal central plane that extends essentially in the flattening direction A and in the direction of the longitudinal central axis L. This first longitudinal central plane E1 intersects the substrate 16 in the twoareas 26 with maximum radius of curvature of the outer circumferential contour, which areas are diametrically opposed to each other. The substrate 16 has an especially mirror-symmetrical configuration, which is also symmetrical to a second longitudinal central plane E2, which is at right angles to the first longitudinal central plane E1 and also contains the longitudinal central axis L. The second longitudinal central plane E2 intersects the outer circumference of the substrate 16 inareas 28 with minimal radius of curvature of the outer circumferential contour of the substrate 16, whichareas 28 are diametrically opposed to each other. - When the substrate 16 is inserted into the
housing 12 or into thecircumferential wall 14 of same, at first the substrate 16 is wrapped with at least one layer ofsupport material 30, for example, fiber mat or the like. The thus wrapped substrate 16 is then inserted into thehousing 12, for example, via an insertion funnel. In this case, the layer ofsupport material 30 is compressed, so that the substrate 16 is held by the compressed layer ofsupport material 30 in a defined position in the interior of thehousing 12. In the course of this insertion motion, the greatest surface pressure is exerted onto the substrate 16 intransition areas 32 between theareas 28 with minimal radius of curvature and theareas 26 with maximum radius of curvature. Since thecell walls cell walls transition areas 32, in which the outer circumferential contour of the substrate 16 has an average radius of curvature, approximately at right angles to the force F acting from outside on the substrate 16 in these areas. The result is that the forces acting on the substrate 16 in these high-load areas can be absorbed in therespective cell walls substrate body 18 is brought about by such loads is thus reduced significantly. - Finally, it should be pointed out that when the the
substrate body 18 is used in a catalytic converter unit, thesubstrate body 18 can be coated with catalytically active material on itscell walls cells 24. The exhaust gas flowing through thecells 24 can thus interact with the catalytic material in the area of a comparatively large surface in the interior of thesubstrate body 18 for carrying out the catalytic reaction, so that such a catalytic converter may be effective, for example, as an oxidation catalytic converter or as a SCR catalytic converter. - While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
