- the exhaust gas purifying apparatus in which the outer cases are connected side by side in the exhaust gas movement direction, and the inner cases adjacent to each other have a double structure in which one of the inner cases is inserted into the other. Since there is a loose clearance gap between the inner side surface of the first inner case and the outer side surface of the second inner case, the second inner case is separated from the first inner case, so that A certain gas purification body can be largely exposed to the outside.
- the inner cases can be easily attached and detached by the existence of the loose fitting gap between the inner cases. That is, for example, in the conventional configuration in which the inner cases are closely fitted to prevent leakage of exhaust gas, the inner cases are integrated with each other due to rust and cannot be easily separated.
- the invention of claim 1 makes it extremely easy to separate the two inner cases, and in this respect as well, there is an advantage that the maintainability and the exchange workability of each gas purifier can be improved.
- the outer surface of the inner case is provided with a joint flange protruding outward in the radial direction, and is formed on the joint flange.

Can be improved.
- the inner case is supported by the outer flange without being in direct contact with the outer flange due to the presence of the joining flange.
- Mechanical vibration and deformation force applied to the outer case are difficult to reach the inner case, and the inner case itself and the gas purifying body in the inner case itself are damaged or the gas purifying body is displaced. Can be prevented.
- a heat insulation layer heat insulation area
- a sensor boss body for supporting an exhaust gas sensor is provided on one outer surface of the adjacent inner cases.
- the sensor boss body projects radially outward from a boss body through hole formed in the outer case, and the outer surface of the one inner case surrounds the sensor boss body and penetrates the boss body. Since the collar which closes the hole is fixed, the presence of the collar can improve the connection strength between the outer case and the inner case. Further, it is possible to easily and reliably prevent the exhaust gas in the inner case from leaking from the boss body through hole.
- the inner case is provided with an enlarged diameter portion in order to closely fit both inner cases, there is no influence on the pipe allowance of the inner case, the radius of the sensor boss body, the welding allowance, etc.
- the distance between the end face of the gas purifier and the mounting position of the exhaust gas sensor can be set to the shortest dimension (zero or arbitrary dimension).
- the overall length of the exhaust gas purification device can be shortened, and the exhaust gas purification device can be easily mounted on various devices. Since the exhaust gas sensor can be brought close to the end face of the gas purification body, it can contribute to improvement of control performance such as automatic regeneration of the exhaust gas purification device.
- a pipe of a differential pressure sensor as the exhaust gas sensor is connected to the sensor boss body, and the pipe is connected to an outer surface of the outer case. Therefore, the pipe is close to the outer surface of the outer case. For this reason, for example, when the exhaust gas purification device is assembled to the engine, the piping is unlikely to become an obstacle, and the exhaust gas purification device is easy to handle and mount. Therefore, it is easy to mount and assemble the exhaust gas purification device.
- an exhaust pipe, and the exhaust gas inlet pipe forms an exhaust gas introduction passage by the outer side surface of the outer case on the exhaust upstream side and the inner side surface of the exhaust gas inlet pipe.
- a rectifier for regulating the flow of exhaust gas is provided on at least one of the outer surface of the outer case on the upstream side of the exhaust and the inner surface of the exhaust gas inlet pipe. Therefore, the presence of the rectifier allows the exhaust gas to be smoothly fed into the exhaust gas purification device without being greatly affected by the shape of the exhaust gas inlet pipe. For this reason, the exhaust gas can be made to flow as uniformly as possible into the gas purification body on the upstream side of the exhaust gas, and the entire area of the gas purification body can be efficiently used.
- the flange body connecting the both outer cases is offset with respect to the connection boundary position of the both gas purification bodies. It is possible to shorten the length of the outer case in the exhaust gas movement direction while securing the length of each gas purifier in the exhaust gas movement direction. Therefore, the overall length of the exhaust gas purifying device can be made compact (shortened) while improving the rigidity and weight of the outer case and the like. Existence of the flange body for connection also has an advantage that leakage of exhaust gas and the like can be easily prevented.
- the rectifier is provided on both the outer surface of the outer case on the exhaust upstream side and the inner surface of the exhaust gas inlet pipe. Since the rectifier on the outer case side is located on the exhaust upstream side and the rectifier on the exhaust gas inlet pipe side is located on the exhaust downstream side, the rectifier located in the introduction passage is provided. However, there is an effect that it can be attached to the outer surface of the outer case and the exhaust gas inlet pipe without interfering with each other by a simple processing operation.
- the exhaust gas inlet pipe is provided between the outer case on the exhaust upstream side and the inner case incorporated therein. Since the exhaust gas inlet is formed in a rectangular shape and the four corners thereof are formed in an arc shape, the exhaust gas inlet is opened in a rectangular shape. Thus, by increasing the opening area as much as possible, the increase in exhaust gas inflow resistance is suppressed, but by making the four corners arcuate, the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust gas inlet is disturbed. It can suppress flowing. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the variation in the inflow pressure of the exhaust gas passing through the exhaust gas inlet and to make the exhaust gas flow into the exhaust gas purification device as uniformly as possible.
- a silencer having the exhaust gas outlet pipe is attached to the outer case on the exhaust downstream side, and an exhaust gas extending parallel to the exhaust gas movement direction is installed in the silencer. Since the gas introduction pipe is built in and the exhaust upstream side of the exhaust gas introduction pipe is inserted into the inner case on the exhaust downstream side, the length of the exhaust gas introduction pipe in the exhaust gas movement direction is increased. The length of the silencer in the exhaust gas movement direction can be shortened while ensuring. Therefore, in the exhaust gas purification apparatus with the silencer, it is possible to achieve both the compactness of the exhaust gas purification apparatus as a whole and the maintenance and improvement of the silencer function in the silencer.
- the flange body connecting the both outer case bodies is offset with respect to the connection boundary position of the both gas purifying bodies, and Since the flange body connecting the outer case on the exhaust downstream side and the silencer is offset with respect to the connection boundary position of the gas purification body on the exhaust downstream side, the exhaust gas movement direction of each gas purification body It is possible to shorten the length of the outer case in the direction of moving the exhaust gas while securing the length. It is also possible to shorten the length of the outer case on the exhaust downstream side and the silencer in the exhaust gas movement direction.
- the exhaust upstream end of the silencer is closed by an inner lid, and the exhaust gas introduction pipe is An exhaust gas intake communicating hole is formed in the exhaust gas introduction pipe on the exhaust upstream side of the inner lid body through the inner lid body and entering the inside case on the exhaust downstream side. Therefore, the communication hole on the exhaust upstream side of the inner lid body contributes to intake of exhaust gas into the silencer. For this reason, although the length of the exhaust gas moving direction of the silencer is shortened, the moving distance of the exhaust gas itself can be sufficiently secured, and the silencer function of the silencer can be further enhanced. Play.

Since the exhaust gas sensors 109, 112, and 63 can be brought close to each other until they come into contact with the end surfaces of the gas purification bodies 2 and 3, it is possible to contribute to improvement of control performance such as automatic regeneration of the DPF 1.

次に、図11(a)(b)を参照しながら、各接合フランジ25,26,40の詳細構造について説明する。各接合フランジ25,26,40はいずれも基本的に同じ構造であるから、触媒内側ケース4と触媒外側ケース5とに溶接固定される触媒側接合フランジ25を代表例として説明する。図11(a)(b)に示す如く、触媒側接合フランジ25の折り曲げ角部に階段状の段部25aが形成されている。当該段部25aに触媒外側ケース5の排気下流側の端部を被嵌させ、触媒外側ケース5の排気下流側の端部に段部25aを溶接固定させている。
次に、図1、図12及び図15を参照しながら、DPF1に付設する上流側ガス温度センサ109(下流側ガス温度センサ112)について説明する。隣り合う内側ケース4,20同士のうち半径方向外側にあるものの外周面には、排気ガスセンサの一例であるガス温度センサ109(112)支持用のセンサボス体110が設けられている。実施形態では、触媒内側ケース4(より具体的には遮熱ケース190)の外周面のうち触媒下流側空間29に対応する部位に、円筒状のセンサボス体110の一端側が溶接固定されている。触媒外側ケース5に形成されたボス体貫通孔5aから、該触媒外側ケース5の外側に向けた放射方向(半径方向外側)に、センサボス体110の他端側を延長させる。センサボス体110の他端側にセンサ取付けボルト111を螺着する。例えばサーミスタ形の上流側ガス温度センサ109をセンサ取付けボルト111に貫通させ、センサボス体110にセンサ取付けボルト111を介して上流側ガス温度センサ109を支持させる。触媒下流側空間29内に上流側ガス温度センサ109の検出部分を突入させる。
次に、図13及び14を参照しながら、DPF1に付設する差圧センサ63について説明する。排気ガスセンサの一例である差圧センサ63は、DPF1内においてスートフィルタ3を挟んだ上下流側間の排気ガスの圧力差を検出するためのものである。当該圧力差に基づいてスートフィルタ3の粒子状物質の堆積量が換算され、DPF1内の詰り状態を把握できるように構成している。すなわち、差圧センサ63にて検出された排気ガスの圧力差に基づき、例えば図示しないアクセル制御手段又は吸気スロットル制御手段等を作動させることによって、スートフィルタ3の再生制御を自動的に実行できるように構成されている。
上記の記載並びに図1、図9、図12から明らかなように、エンジン70が排出した排気ガスを浄化する2つのガス浄化体2,3と、前記各ガス浄化体2,3を内蔵した内側ケース4,20と、前記各内側ケース4,20を内蔵した外側ケース5,21とを備えており、前記各外側ケース5,21が排気ガス移動方向に並べて連結されている排気ガス浄化装置1であって、隣り合う前記内側ケース4,20同士は一方を他方に挿入した二重構造になっており、前記一方の内側ケース4(20)の内側面と前記他方の内側ケース20(4)の外側面との間に遊嵌用隙間23が空いているから、前記一方の内側ケース4(20)から前記他方の内側ケース20(4)を分離させることによって、前記他方の内側ケース20(4)内にある前記ガス浄化体3(2)を外部に大きく露出させることができる。このため、前記各外側ケース5,21を分離させて実行するメンテナンス作業(前記各ガス浄化体2,3の掃除等)の作業性を向上できるという効果を奏する。また、前記両内側ケース4,20の間にある前記遊嵌用隙間23の存在によって、前記両内側ケース4,20同士を手軽に着脱できる。すなわち、例えば排気ガス漏れ防止のために両内側ケースを密嵌させるという従来の構成では、前記両内側ケース同士が錆等に起因して一体化し簡単に分離できなくなる。これに比べて実施形態では、前記両内側ケース4,20の分離が至極簡単であり、この点でも、前記各ガス浄化体2,3のメンテナンス性や交換作業性を向上できるという利点がある。
図18~図34は、本願発明の第2実施形態を示している。第2実施形態では、排気ガス入口管16や消音器30の構造が第1実施形態と相違するが、基本的に第1実施形態と同じである。以下には、主として第1実施形態との相違点を説明する。
図18及び図31~図34に示す如く、第2実施形態のDPF1は、ディーゼルエンジン70の出力軸(クランク軸)と平行な左右方向に長く延びた略円筒形状に構成されている。エンジン70の排気マニホールド71上にDPF1が配置される。DPF1の左右両側(排気ガス移動方向一端側と同他端側)には、排気ガス入口管16(排気ガス取入れ側)と排気ガス出口管34(排気ガス排出側)とが、ディーゼルエンジン70の左右に振り分けて設けられている。DPF1の排気ガス取入れ側である排気ガス入口管16は、ディーゼルエンジン70の排気マニホールド71に着脱可能にボルト締結されている。DPF1の排気ガス排出側である排気ガス出口管34にはテールパイプ(図示省略)が接続される。
次に、図18、図22及び図26等を参照しながら、ディーゼル酸化触媒2の構造を説明する。図18、図22、図26及び図27に示す如く、触媒内側ケース4及び触媒外側ケース5に形成された排気ガス流入口12は矩形状に開口している。そして、排気ガス流入口12の四隅部は円弧形状に形成されている。すなわち、排気ガス流入口12の四隅部12aは、角アールが付けられて丸められている。このように構成すると、排気ガス流入口12を矩形状に開口させて当該開口面積をできるだけ広くすることによって、排気ガスの流入抵抗の増大を抑制したものでありながら、四隅部12aを円弧形状にすることによって、排気ガス流入口12を通過する排気ガスが乱流化するのを抑制できる。従って、排気ガス流入口12を通過する排気ガスの流入圧力のばらつきを少なくして、排気ガス流入空間11内に排気ガスをできるだけ均一に流入させることが可能になっている。
次に、図18、図22及び図26を参照して、スートフィルタ3の構造を説明する。スートフィルタ3は、耐熱金属材料製で略円筒型のフィルタ内側ケース20内に設ける。フィルタ内側ケース20は、耐熱金属材料製で略円筒型のフィルタ外側ケース21内に設ける。すなわち、スートフィルタ3の外側に、セラミックファイバー製でマット状のフィルタ断熱材22を介して、フィルタ内側ケース20を被嵌させている。フィルタ外側ケース21は、触媒外側ケース5と共に、前述したDPFケーシング60を構成する要素の1つである。なお、スートフィルタ3とフィルタ内側ケース20の間にフィルタ断熱材22を圧入して、スートフィルタ3を保護している。
次に、図18、図22及び図28等を参照しながら、消音器30の構造について説明する。図18、図22及び図28に示す如く、ディーゼルエンジン70が排出した排気ガス音を減衰させる消音器30は、耐熱金属材料製で略円筒形の消音内側ケース31と、耐熱金属材料製で略円筒形の消音外側ケース32と、消音外側ケース32の排気下流側の側端部に溶接にて固着した円板状の側蓋体33とを有する。消音外側ケース32内に消音内側ケース31を設ける。消音外側ケース32は、触媒外側ケース5及びフィルタ外側ケース21と共に、前述したDPFケーシング60を構成する。なお、円筒形の消音外側ケース32の直径は、円筒形の触媒外側ケース5の直径や円筒形のフィルタ外側ケース21の直径と略同一寸法である。
次に、図18~図21及び図23を参照しながら、隣り合う外側ケース5,21,32同士の連結構造を説明する。第2実施形態では、第1実施形態と同様に、エンジン70が排出した排気ガスを浄化するガス浄化体2,3と、各ガス浄化体2,3を内蔵する各内側ケース4,20,31と、各内側ケース4,20,31を内蔵する各外側ケース5,21,32とを備える。各内側ケース4,20,31は、各外側ケース5,21,32の外周側にはみ出る接合フランジ25,26,40,41を介して、各外側ケース5,21,32に連結させる。ガス浄化体2,3、各内側ケース4,20,31及び各外側ケース5,21,32の組合せを複数備え、各接合フランジ25,26(40,41)を一対の挟持フランジ51,52(53,54)にて挟持固定することによって、複数の外側ケース5,21,32を連結している。
次に、各接合フランジ25,26,40の詳細構造を説明する。各接合フランジ25,26,40はいずれも基本的に同じ構造であるから、触媒内側ケース4と触媒外側ケース5とに溶接固定される触媒側接合フランジ25を代表例として、図24を参照しながら説明する。図24に示す如く、触媒側接合フランジ25の折り曲げ角部に階段状の段部25aが形成されている。当該段部25aに触媒外側ケース5の排気下流側の端部を被嵌させ、触媒外側ケース5の排気下流側の端部に段部25aを溶接固定させている。
次に、図18、図25、図26、図28及び図29を参照しながら、DPF1に付設するガス温度センサ109,112について説明する。図18、図25及び図26に示すように、触媒内側ケース4の外周面のうち上流側筒部4aと下流側筒部4bの間に、円筒状のセンサボス体110の一端側が溶接固定されている。触媒外側ケース5のセンサ取付け開口5aから、当該触媒外側ケース5の外側に向けて、放射方向にセンサボス体110の他端側を延長させている。すなわち、触媒内側ケース4の外周面のうちディーゼル酸化触媒2とスートフィルタ3との接続境界位置(触媒下流側空間29)の近傍に、排気ガスセンサ支持用のセンサボス体110が触媒外側ケース5を貫通するように設けられている。センサボス体110の他端側にセンサ取付けボルト111を螺着する。センサ取付けボルト111に、例えばサーミスタ形の上流側ガス温度センサ109を貫通させ、センサボス体110にセンサ取付けボルト111を介して上流側ガス温度センサ109を支持させる。触媒下流側空間29内に上流側ガス温度センサ109の検出部分を突入させている。上記の構成において、ディーゼル酸化触媒2のガス流出側端面2bから排気ガスが排出された場合は、その排気ガス温度が上流側ガス温度センサ109にて検出される。
次に、図31~図34を参照しながら、DPF1に付設する差圧センサ63について説明する。差圧センサ63は、DPF1内におけるスートフィルタ3を挟んだ上下流側間の排気ガスの圧力差を検出するためのものである。当該圧力差に基づいてスートフィルタ3の粒子状物質の堆積量が換算され、DPF1内の詰り状態を把握できるように構成している。すなわち、差圧センサ63にて検出された排気ガスの圧力差に基づき、例えば図示しないアクセル制御手段又は吸気スロットル制御手段等を作動させることによって、スートフィルタ3の再生制御を自動的に実行できるように構成されている。
図30は消音器30構造の別例を示している。この場合、消音内側ケース31における排気上流側の端部に円板状の内蓋体36が溶接にて固着されている。各排気ガス導入管38の排気上流側は内蓋体36を貫通しているが、各排気ガス導入管38の排気上流側の端部と、消音内側ケース31の排気上流側の端部との位置は、側面断面視でほぼ一致している。各排気ガス導入管38における排気上流側の端部はそのまま開口させている。その他の構成は先の実施形態と同様である。このように構成した場合も、各排気ガス導入管38の排気ガス移動方向の長さを確保しつつ、消音器30(消音外側ケース32)の排気ガス移動方向の長さを短縮できるので、消音器30付きのDPF1において、DPF1全体としてのコンパクト化と、消音器30における消音機能の維持向上とを両立できることになる。
上記の記載並びに図18、図22及び図26から明らかなように、エンジン70が排出した排気ガスを浄化する2つのガス浄化体2,3と、前記各ガス浄化体2,3を内蔵した内側ケース4,20と、前記各内側ケース4,20を内蔵した外側ケース5,21と、前記エンジン70からの排気ガスが流入する排気ガス入口管16と、前記両ガス浄化体2,3を通過した排気ガスが流出する排気ガス出口管34とを備えており、前記各外側ケース5,21が排気ガス移動方向に並べて連結されている排気ガス浄化装置1であって、排気上流側の外側ケース5の外側面と前記排気ガス入口管16の内側面とによって排気ガスの導入通路200を構成するように、前記排気ガス入口管16が前記排気上流側の外側ケース5に取り付けられており、前記排気上流側の外側ケース5の外側面と前記排気ガス入口管16の内側面とのうち少なくとも一方に、排気ガスの流れを整えるための整流体201a,201bが設けられているから、前記整流体201a,201bの存在によって、前記排気ガス入口管16の形状に大きく影響されることなく、排気ガスを前記排気ガス浄化装置1内にスムーズに送り込めることになる。このため、排気上流側の前記ガス浄化体2に対して、排気ガスをできるだけ均一に流入させることが可能になり、前記ガス浄化体2の全域を効率よく活用するのに貢献できるという効果を奏する。
