Definitions
- the present invention relates to a honeycomb structure used as a filter for purifying gas.
- Honeycomb structures are widely used as filters for purifying exhaust gas from internal combustion engines, such as diesel particulate filters (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Since the soot removed from the exhaust gas accumulates on the honeycomb structure, it is necessary to regenerate the filter by burning the soot at regular intervals. In order to burn the soot, it is only necessary to supply a large amount of combustion exhaust gas at a high temperature to ignite the soot and burn out the soot.
- honeycomb structure is heated beyond an allowable amount due to burning of soot during filter regeneration, excessive thermal stress may occur and the honeycomb structure may be damaged. In order to avoid such breakage, there is a need for a technique that moderates soot combustion during filter regeneration.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a honeycomb structure capable of mildly burning soot during filter regeneration.
- the present invention provides a first end surface and a second end surface facing each other, a plurality of first flow paths and a plurality of first flow paths extending in a facing direction of the first end surface and the second end surface.
- the first end face side is sealed and the second end face side is opened.
- On the first end face a plurality of first flow paths are provided surrounding the second flow paths, and each first flow path is provided.
- the partition wall is a common wall that separates the first wall that is adjacent on the first end surface and the standard wall that separates the first flow path and the second flow path.
- the standard wall thickness is greater than the common wall thickness.
- the honeycomb structure since the thickness of the standard wall is larger than the thickness of the common wall, compared to the case where the thickness of the standard wall is equal to the thickness of the common wall, It becomes difficult for the gas flowing into the first flow path to pass through the standard wall. Therefore, according to the honeycomb structure, even when the high-temperature gas flows into the first flow path during filter regeneration and combustion of soot occurs, the combustion gas (carbon dioxide gas or the like) generated by the combustion passes through the standard wall and passes through the standard wall. Since it is difficult to be discharged into the two flow paths and the further oxygen supply is suppressed by the influence of the combustion gas staying in the first flow path, combustion of soot can be suppressed to make it mild. As a result, since the honeycomb structure is heated beyond the allowable amount, damage due to excessive thermal stress can be avoided, so that the reliability of the honeycomb structure can be improved.
- the honeycomb structure according to the present invention, five or more first flow paths are provided on the first end surface so as to surround the second flow path, and each of the five or more first flow paths is provided in the first end surface. You may arrange
- the thickness of all standard walls between one second flow path and each first flow path surrounding the second flow path is equal to each second flow path surrounding the second flow path. It may be larger than the thickness of all the common walls between one flow path. According to the above honeycomb structure, all the standard walls around the second flow path are formed thicker than all the common walls between the first flow paths surrounding the second flow path. Combustion gas is less likely to be discharged from the flow path to the second flow path, and soot combustion can be made milder.
- the area in the first flow path formed by the common wall is smaller than the area in the first flow path formed by the standard wall. Also good.
- the soot layer is deposited thicker on the common wall than the standard wall. Therefore, in the above honeycomb structure, even if soot is burnt in the first flow path during filter regeneration, the soot layer thickly deposited on the common wall does not easily burn, and soot is burnt all at once in a short time. Can be avoided, so that the burning of soot can be made milder.
- honeycomb structure according to the present invention can mildly burn soot during filter regeneration.

- the first flow paths 131 and 132 are flow paths formed from the standard wall 135a and the common wall 135b, and the second flow path 133 is a flow path formed only from the standard wall 135a.
- the honeycomb structure 101 according to the second embodiment is formed such that the thickness t s of the standard wall 135a is larger than the thickness t c of the common wall 135b. That is, the distance between the first flow paths 131 and 132 and the second flow path 133 is formed to be larger than the distance between the first flow paths 131 and 132.

Abstract
Description
上記ハニカム構造体によれば、開口率の高い効率的な流路の配置が可能になる。
上記ハニカム構造体によれば、第2流路の周りの全ての標準壁が当該第2流路を囲む各第1流路の間の全ての共通壁より厚く形成されているので、各第1流路から第2流路に燃焼ガスが排出されにくくなり、煤の燃焼をより一層マイルドにすることができる。
上記ハニカム構造体によれば、第1流路を形成する共通壁の面積が標準壁の面積よりも小さいので、煤の層は標準壁と比べて共通壁に厚く堆積する。従って、上記ハニカム構造体では、フィルタ再生時に第1流路内で煤の燃焼が生じても、共通壁に厚く堆積した煤の層の燃焼は進みにくく、煤が短時間で一斉に燃焼することが避けられるので、煤の燃焼をより一層マイルドにすることができる。
図1及び図2に示されるように、第1の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体100は、例えばディーゼルエンジン、ガソリンエンジン等の内燃機関の排出ガスを浄化するフィルタとして利用される円柱状の構造体である。円柱状のハニカム構造体100は、互いに対向する第1の端面100a及び第2の端面100bと、複数の流路110を形成する隔壁112と、を有している。
第2の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体101は、第1の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体100と比べて、第1流路の断面形状が異なっている。図4は、第2の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体101の第1の端面101aの一部を示す図である。
第3の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体102は、第2の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体101と比べて、第1流路140aの断面形状が異なっている。図6は、第3の実施形態に係るハニカム構造体102の第1の端面102aの一部を示す図である。
