Definitions

  • the present invention like the inventions disclosed in the above-identified patents, relates to mufflers in which the pulsating gases of an engine exhaust are directed into an entrance chamber of cylindrical configuration and, by reason of the tangentially disposed entrance port, are caused to partake of a whirling motion which increases in rate as the gases reach an axially disposed port in a partition means and pass therethrough to a discharge chamber of substantially the same configuration as the entrance chamber in which, in route to a tangentially disposed discharge port, they partake of a decreasing rate of Whirl.

  • FIG. 15 is a side elevational, partly in section, similar to FIG. 2, but showing a modification particularly suited for use with high speed engines.
  • the illustrated embodiment comprises a body formed by a pair of identical, generally bowl-shaped body members 1 comprising sheet metal stampings, each having an outwardly flared edge 2 and a flat end wall 3 of roughly one-third the diameter of the edge 2, the intervening side wall portion 4 preferably being convexly curved as viewed from the exterior thereof.
  • the side wall Adjacent to the said flared edge, the side wall is provided with an oval opening 5 constituting a port in which either an inlet nipple 6 or an outlet nipple 7 is secured in such tangential relation that the outermost surface of the nipple is tangential to the circle of the inner wall of the body member in a plane transverse to the axial line of the body member and intersecting the axial line of the nipple.
  • the nipples are of substantially equal diameter and so disposed on the respective body members as to accommodate the flow of gas through the device Without reversal of the direction of whirling motion thereof.
  • the inlet nipple may be provided with means to facilitate connection to an engine exhaust pipe as for example, the enlarged end 6'.
  • each of said body members is one each of a pair of identical partition members 8, 8 of what may best be described as modified funnel-shape.
  • Each of said ber is one each of a pair of identical partition members 8, 8 of what may best be described as modified funnel-shape.
  • partition members is preferably formed as a sheet metal stamping and includes a flat outer edge portion 9 of substantially the same diameter as the edges 2 of the body member 1 and the partition member is thence curved internally convexly as at 10 to a center opening 11. As best shown in FIG. 2, these partition members are disposed between the edges 2, 2 of the body members 1, 1 with the axially aligned center opening portions 11, 11 thereof projecting into the respective body members and with the faces of said partition members abutting one another.
  • the partition members Prior to assembly into the body members, the partition members are secured to a tubular member 12 extending through the openings 11, 11 thereof and which is of such length as to terminate in slightly spaced relation to the inner surfaces of the end wall portion 3, 3 of the body members, said tube being secured to the partition members by tack welding or brazing at at least a couple of points around the lines of contact therewith with the tube centrally, longitudinally disposed with partition members and with the partition members outer edges abutting one another.
  • Each end of the tubular member 12 is provided with transversely extending U-shaped notches 13 diametrically opposite each other and with a series of perforations 14 disposed inwardly of the said notched ends.
  • the tubular member 12 is provided with one more opening 14' to equalize pressure between the interior of the tubular member 12 and the space formed by the juxtaposed diverging faces of the portion members 8, 8 and the outer surface of the tubular mem- This subassembly, is then placed between a pair of body members to which the inlet and outlet nipples have been previously brazed or welded and the entire mufller completed by a single circumferential weld or brazed seam 15.
  • the mode of operation is believed to be obvious.
  • the incoming gases, entering in a line tangential to a larger diameter of the body being a whirling motion which increases in rapidity as the gases reach the entry point of the tube 12.
  • This whirling motion continuous as they pass through and emerge from the tube and in route to the point of discharge, the rate of whirling gradually decreases.
  • the increase and decrease in the rates of whirling are asynchronous and the pulsations of the entering gases are consequently efficiently absorbed by impingement on each other with the result that the outflow of the gases is at a substantially non-pulsating rate with consequent substantially complete reduction of noise deriving from the gases emerging from the muffier.
  • a further improvement over the structure disclosed in the said Pat. 3,340,958 is to be noted, viz, that all wall surfaces are parallel to and afford minimum resistance to the movement of gases through the muffier.
  • FIG. shows a seam construction in which one of the body members In is formed with a skirt portion 2a within which the flange 2 and the edges of the partition members are received, said skirt portion having sufficient length to permit it to be spun down on the outer face of the flange edge of the other housing member as shown at 16, thus forming an interconnection between the bodymembers that is the equivalent of welding.
  • This type of scam is economically feasible where the production rate is suflicient to justify the cost of the required special tools and where such cost is not justified, welding or brazing may be employed.
  • the mutfler body is formed of two bowl-like halves 20, 20 each being formed with a peripheral skirt edge portion 21 and said edge is cut away on one of them forming an outwardly flared flanged edge 22 of slightly less diameter than the interior diameter of skirt portion 21 remaining on the other body member 20.
  • each body member is provided with a tangentially projecting nipple 23 disposed adjacent to the edge of the member and said nipples are so disposed as to accommodate the flow of exhaust gases through the device without changing the direction of whirling action of the gases within the housing.
  • the second embodiment additionally, includes partition means comprising a pair of identical, shallow, funnel-like members 24, 24 of the same general radial cross sectional configuration as the partition members of the first embodiment and each including a peripheral edge 25 of such diameter as to rest against the shoulder 26, formed by the skirt portion 21.
  • the smaller diameter ends 27, of the partition members are positioned to project into the respective body members and are provided with diametrically opposed slots 28, 28 preferably having rounded inner ends for convenience in tool manufacture. These slots serve the same purpose as the slots 13 in the ends of the tube 12 of the first embodiment.
  • the axially extending tube employed in the first embodiment is omitted, it having been found that the lesser volume of exhaust gases and the reduced pressure involved in the smaller engines, e.g., those having exhaust manifolds served by exhaust pipes of, say, one inch diameter or less, the presence or absence of that tube created no noticeable difference in the extent of noise suppression although in larger engines, particularly those operating in lower speed ranges, the advantage achieved by the tube was significant.
  • the retained skirt edge portion 21 may be shortened and an encircling clamp 30 generally resembling a hose clamp but having an internal channel section 31 and stud and nut tightening means 32 may be employed as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.
  • the retained skirt edge 21 may be spun or rolled down against the enclosed flange edge of the other body member and the interposed edges of the partition means as shown in FIG. 11 or the entire assembly may be welded together in the manner shown in FIG. 2 or 14.
  • this embodiment possesses the advantages of (a) being united in assembly by a single circumferential closure means, (b) by being adapted to accommodate different angular directions of entering and discharge flow for different installation, and (c) by the construction from parts which initially are identical with resultant economy and manufacture. It will be understood that any structural feature shown in either embodiment or any modification thereof may, if desired, be employed in the other embodiment.
  • FIG. 15 there is shown a modification which is applicable to either of the two basic embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, respectively and which has been found to suppress noise more effectively on high speed engines than the embodiments of said FIGS. 2 and 7. Since this illustration derives from FIG. 2, the same identifying numerals will be employed where possible.
  • the casing or body is formed from a pair of members 1, 1 which are provided with the ports 5, 5 in which the inlet nipple 6 and outlet nipple 7 are mounted.

  • the peripheral edges of the two body members and of the partition member 8 may be secured together by any of the means heretofore described. Since a similar modification can also be effected with the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, illustration is not deemed necessary.
