8 Claims.
My invention relates to mulliers for suppressing the exhaust noise in an internal combustion engine and especially to that type of mufller employing one or more resonating chambers each adapted to suppress sounds of a more or less definite frequency. Heretofore it has been the practice to arrange the mufiler so that such resonating chambers communicate with the stream of exhaust gases at a point where the exhaust gases are flowing through a fairly well defined passage. I have found, however, that this is not necessary. 7
It is the object of my invention to construct a mufiler which will have a great flexibility of design in respect to the resonating chambers. More specifically, it is my object to produce a mufller which will adequately silence the exhaust gases, which will not create excessive back-pressure, which may include resonating chambers, and which at the same time will be relatively compact in dimensions. A further object of my invention is to decrease the cost of mufilers and simplify their manufacture.
In carrying out my invention, I provide the muiller with in-fiow and out-flow tubes which overlap longitudinally within an expansion chamber in the interior of the muffler shell. Over the overlapping portions, the walls of these two tubes are provided with a multiplicity of restricted openings, 'but the inner ends of the two tubes are left open so that the gases are not compelled to flow through such openings. The resonating chamber or chambers employed are disposed between the expansion chamber above referred to and one or both ends of the muffler shell, and open into the expansion chamber desirably through annular openings surrounding the in-flow and out-flow tubes.
, The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention: Figs. 1 and .2 are longitudinal sections through two mulllers of slightly different construction; Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the muffler shown in Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the mufiler shown in Fig. 2.
t In both modifications illustrated in the drawing, the shell III of the mulller is cylindrical and is provided at its ends with heads I I and I2. An inlet fitting I3 extending through the head II is adapted for connection to the exhaust pipe leading from the engine and, at its inner end, communicates with a tube I4 which extends rearwardly within the muffler. A second tube I5 projects through the head I2 and extends forwardly to overlap longitudinally the tube I4.
Between the overlapping portions of the tubes I4 and I5 and the head II there is disposed a transverse partition I1 having an opening materially larger in diameter than the tube I4 through which such tube extends. A similar partition I8 located between the head I2 and the overlapping portions of the tubes I4 and I5 is provided for the passage of the tube I5, such opening being materially larger in diameter than the tube. The two partitions I 'I and I8 define within the shell In an expansion chamber I9. The inner ends of the two tubes I4 and I5 are open to provide communication with the expansion chamber and, in addition, the wall of each tube is provided with a multiplicity of restricted openings 20.
The space between the head II and the adjacent transverse partition I! constitutes a resonating chamber 2I which communicates with the expansion chamber I 9 through an annular passage surrounding the tube I4 and defined exteriorly by a supplementary tube 22 which is mounted in the partition I1 and which has open ends communicating respectively with the expansion I9 and the resonating chamber 2I. The frequency which the resonating chamber 2I is adapted to suppress is a joint function of the volume of that chamber and of the cross-sectional area and length of the annular passage through which it communicates with the chamber I9. The dimensions of this passage can obviously be varied by a suitable selection of the diameter and length of the tube 22.
A tube 24, similar to the tube 22, may be mounted in the partition I8 surrounding the tube 20 to define a passage between the expansion chamber I9 and a second resonating chamber 25 located in rear of the partition I8.
Desirably, the resonating chamber 25 does not extend rearwardly to the head I2 but instead has its rear end defined by a transverse partition 26 having an opening which closely receives the tube 20. Between the partition 26 and the end head I2, the tube 20 is provided with a multiplicity of perforations 21 and the space between it and the wall of the shell I! may be divided into compartments by transverse partitions, one of which is indicated at 28.
In the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 1 the two tubes I4 and I5 are straight and are located eccentrically in the shell III with their overlapping portions in contact. It it is desired to have the inlet and discharge fittings of the muffler located centrally of the shell, the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 2 may be employed. In that arrangement, that portion of each of the tubes I 4 and II which lies beyond the ends of the expansion chamber I9 is located co-axially 'with the shell ill; but at the ends of the expansion chamber the two tubes are bent so that their overlapping portions extend obliquely. vTo prevent the possibility of rattling and to add rigidity to the mufller, the overlapping portions of the tubes 14 and I5 are desirably in contact and spot-welded together.
An automobile engine usually has one or two speeds at which exhaust noise is most pronounced; and most of the noise ateach of such speeds is of a more or less deflnite frequency. It is for the purpose of suppressing such noise of more or less definite frequency or frequencies that the resonating chambers 2| and 25 are provided, each of such chambers being tuned for this purpose. At the same time that each of the resonating chambers suppresses sounds of a more or less deflnite frequency, it may tend to reinforce sounds of another frequency or frequencies; and it is for the purpose of suppressing any such reinforced sounds, as well as to supplement the silencing action that occurs between the partitions l1 and I8, that the constructional features between the partition 25 and the rear head I2 of the muiller are provided.
A muiller embodying the features described above is of simple construction and relatively compact. By so arranging the resonating chambers that they communicate with the expansion chamber, I am enable to save cost and eliminate any special fittings permitting lateral communication between either of the tubes and a tuned resonating chamber. Because the inner ends of the tubes Hand 15 are open and unrestricted the gas-flow through the mufller is free, and the back-pressure which the mufller imposes on the engine is relatively low.
