Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to automotive catalytic converters. More particularly, the disclosure pertains to such converters having the capability of mounting a hot exhaust gas oxygen sensor between two cakes or bricks of catalytic material carrying substrates.
- Prior vehicular emission monitoring systems utilize emission monitoring oxygen sensors on either end (i.e., upstream and downstream) of a catalytic converter for monitoring converter performance.
- automotive manufacturers are now requiring mid-bed sensors, i.e., sensors mounted between two bricks of catalytic material carrying substrates inside the converter housing. This arrangement yields improved converter performance measurement, because the upstream substrate catalyst tends to degrade faster than the downstream substrate catalyst.
- a catalytic converter having a housing holding upstream and downstream catalytic substrates includes a ring located between the substrates, the ring having a gap therein for receipt of a mid-bed oxygen sensor.
- the ring traps a layer of insulating material between the ring and the converter housing or shell surface surrounding the inter-substrate gap.
- the ring is coupled to the housing by using a plurality of ring embossments extending toward the housing.
- FIGs. 1A-1 D present various isometric views of a converter insulation ring and sensor mounting device arranged in accordance with the principles of the disclosed teachings;
- FIGs. 2A-2D present various isometric views of an alternative converter insulation ring and sensor mounting device arranged in accordance with the principles of the disclosed teachings;
- Figs. 3A-3B respectively present side perspective and side cross-sectional views of a catalytic converter arranged in accordance with the principles of the disclosed teachings;
- Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view of the converter of Figs. 3A-3B;
- Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of one of the mounting embossment regions of the mounting ring in the converter of Fig. 4;
- Fig. 6 is a similar cross-sectional view to that of Fig. 5;
- Fig. 7 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view of an alternative converter arranged in accordance with the principles of the disclosed teaching;
- Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of one of the mounting embossment regions of the mounting ring in the converter of Fig. 7;
- Fig. 9 is a similar cross-sectional view to that of Fig. 8.
- a ring for holding insulation and mounting an oxygen sensor is shown and designated 100.
- Ring 100 includes a gap 102 for receipt of an oxygen sensor through the shell of the converter and extending therein between the catalytic substrates.
- Circumferentially spaced about ring 100 are a plurality of, in this case four, embossment regions 104a-d at which the ring 100 is coupled to the converter shell in a manner to be discussed below.
- Ring 100 forms a channel 110 between itself and the converter housing for positioning of a layer of insulative material between the ring and the housing shell.
- Figs. 2A-2D are similar to Figs. 1A-1 D but show a ring 200 whose embossments are of a smoother curvilinear shape as seen from Fig. 2D.
- the embossment shape disclosed in Figs. 2A-D is preferred, due to its ease of manufacturing.
- Embossment region 204a has less sharp corners than embossment 104a of Fig. 1 D. With this arrangement of Fig. 2D, there is less likelihood of metal tearing during stamping of the rings.
- a catalytic converter 300 has a central shell housing first and second catalytic material carrying substrates 310a and 310b separated by a mid-bed gap 308.
- Insulating ring 100 includes a gap in communication with a sensor mounting boss 306.
- converter 300 includes an input cone 302 and an output cone 304.
- Boss 306 receives an oxygen sensor (not shown) which extends into the gap 308. In this manner, an upstream sensor and the sensor mounted at boss 306 are used to monitor the performance of catalytic substrate 310a.
- Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view of the converter of Figs. 3A-3B and essentially takes a view at the mid-bed section towards substrate 310b.
- each embossment has a dimple or button 105a-d formed therein for receipt in a corresponding perforation 502a-d in housing shell 300.
- Insulation 500 is trapped between ring 100 and converter shell 300 in this mid-bed area.
- Sensor mounting boss 306 is located at the gap in ring 100 and receives an oxygen sensor (not shown).
- Fig. 5 presents embossment region 104a in more magnified detail.
- Fig. 6 is essentially the same as Fig. 5.
- Fig. 7-9 an alternative mounting arrangement for ring 100 is presented.
- ring 100 is coupled to shell 300 via a mechanical coupling rather than by welding.
- the mechanical coupling at each embossment area 104 is accomplished using a pair of tools ⁇ a male tool on the outside of shell 300 and a female tool impressed against the inner surface of mounting ring 100 opposite to the male tool.
- shell 300 is indented as at 802 by the male tool bearing against the outside surface of shell 300 while ring 100 is deformed to form a U-shaped section 702a which surrounds indentation 802 with legs 704a and 705a in a crimping manner to effect a mechanical linkage between ring 100 and shell 300.
