〈第1の実施形態〉
 始めに、第1の実施形態にかかる放電装置10の構成について、図1ないし図4を用いて説明する。この放電装置10は、図1に示すように、自動車19の内燃エンジン19Aの吸排気系を構成する金属製の部品であるマフラー17の外表面17A上において、マフラー17に導通された状態に取り付けられて、このマフラー17から外気13への放電を実現させる放電装置である。すなわち、放電装置10が取り付けられるマフラー17は、上述した、本発明における1つの特徴の説明では「被取り付け部品」とされるものである。
<First Embodiment>
First, the configuration of the discharge device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. As shown in FIG. 1, the discharge device 10 is attached in a state of being electrically connected to the muffler 17 on the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17 that is a metal part constituting the intake and exhaust system of the internal combustion engine 19A of the automobile 19. Thus, the discharge device realizes discharge from the muffler 17 to the outside air 13. That is, the muffler 17 to which the discharge device 10 is attached is a “part to be attached” in the above description of one feature of the present invention.
 なお、マフラー17からは、自動車19の後方側(図1で見て紙面手前側。以下、単に「後方側」とも称する。)に向かってエンドパイプ18が突出されている。このエンドパイプ18は、内燃エンジン19Aの吸排気系において排気側の端部分に位置される部品であり、その外表面18Aが外部から視認できるように配設されている。 Note that an end pipe 18 protrudes from the muffler 17 toward the rear side of the automobile 19 (the front side of the paper as viewed in FIG. 1; hereinafter, also simply referred to as “rear side”). The end pipe 18 is a component located at an end portion on the exhaust side in the intake / exhaust system of the internal combustion engine 19A, and is disposed so that the outer surface 18A can be seen from the outside.
 放電装置10は、図1に示すように、マフラー17に対してこのマフラー17を取り巻いた状態に取り付けられるバンド12と、マフラー17から外気への放電を実現させる放電部11とを備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the discharge device 10 includes a band 12 attached to the muffler 17 in a state of surrounding the muffler 17 and a discharge unit 11 that realizes discharge from the muffler 17 to the outside air.
 バンド12は、金属(例えばステンレス鋼)により長尺の帯形状(図2参照)に形成されて、マフラー17に巻きつけることが可能な柔軟性を有するものとされている。また、バンド12の一端12Aには、バンド12の他端12Bを挿通させてバンド12を締めることができる締めヘッド10Aが取り付けられている。これにより、放電装置10は、マフラー17にバンド12を巻きつけ、このバンド12を締めヘッド10Aにより締めるという簡単な作業によって、マフラー17の外表面17A上に取り付けることができるようになっている。 The band 12 is formed of a metal (for example, stainless steel) into a long band shape (see FIG. 2) and has flexibility so that it can be wound around the muffler 17. Further, a fastening head 10 </ b> A capable of fastening the band 12 by inserting the other end 12 </ b> B of the band 12 is attached to the one end 12 </ b> A of the band 12. Thereby, the discharge device 10 can be attached on the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17 by a simple operation of winding the band 12 around the muffler 17 and tightening the band 12 with the tightening head 10A.
 ここで、締めヘッド10Aは、この締めヘッド10Aに挿通されたバンド12をかしめ接合(図示省略)によって接合することで、バンド12がマフラー17から巻き解かれることを抑えることができるようになっている。この構成によれば、締めヘッド10Aに挿通されて上記かしめ接合からさらに伸びだされたバンド12の他端12B側の部分を、放電装置10の機能を保ちながら適宜に切除することが可能となる(図示省略)。 Here, the fastening head 10A can restrain the band 12 from being unwound from the muffler 17 by joining the band 12 inserted through the fastening head 10A by caulking joining (not shown). Yes. According to this configuration, the portion on the other end 12B side of the band 12 inserted through the fastening head 10A and further extended from the caulking joint can be appropriately cut out while maintaining the function of the discharge device 10. (Not shown).
 放電部11は、図1ないし図3に示すように、切断された平織りの金網11Bによってバンド12に対応した長尺の帯形状に形成されている。ここで、金網11Bは、上述した、本発明における1つの特徴の説明では「本体部分」とされるものである。なお、金網11Bは、本実施形態ではステンレス鋼により形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the discharge part 11 is formed in a long band shape corresponding to the band 12 by a cut plain weave wire mesh 11 </ b> B. Here, the wire mesh 11B is referred to as a “main body portion” in the description of one feature of the present invention described above. Note that the wire mesh 11B is formed of stainless steel in the present embodiment.
 また、金網11Bは、図3に示すように、バンド12においてマフラー17側とされる面に沿うように位置されている。このため、金網11Bは、図1に示すように、放電装置10がマフラー17の外表面17A上に取り付けられた状態において、全体がマフラー17の外表面17Aを取り巻くように配設されてマフラー17に対して導通され、さらに、バンド12によって覆われた状態となる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the wire mesh 11B is positioned along the surface of the band 12 that is on the muffler 17 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the wire mesh 11 </ b> B is disposed so as to surround the outer surface 17 </ b> A of the muffler 17 in a state where the discharge device 10 is attached on the outer surface 17 </ b> A of the muffler 17. And is covered by the band 12.
 また、金網11Bは、図2に示すように、上記帯形状における各側縁部(図2の突出部分11Aが配設されている部分)が切りっぱなしとされて、この各側縁部をバンド12の各側縁部12Fに沿わせた状態に配設されている。これにより、金網11Bにおいて切りっぱなしとされた各側縁部は、バンド12と一緒にマフラー17を取り巻くことができるように配設される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the wire mesh 11B is formed by cutting each side edge portion (portion where the protruding portion 11A of FIG. 2 is disposed) in the band shape. The band 12 is arranged along each side edge 12F. As a result, the side edges of the wire mesh 11 </ b> B that are left uncut are arranged so as to surround the muffler 17 together with the band 12.
 また、上記金網11Bの各側縁部は、図1ないし図3に示すように、この各側縁部の複数箇所において切断された金網11Bの金属線を、線材の先端部分の形状である尖端形状に形成された突出部分11Aとして突出させるように配設される。言いかえると、各突出部分11Aは、それぞれが尖端形状に形成され、かつ、マフラー17の外表面17Aを金網11Bが取り巻く方向に沿って並べられている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, each side edge portion of the wire mesh 11B is formed by replacing the metal wire of the wire mesh 11B cut at a plurality of locations on each side edge portion with the shape of the tip portion of the wire rod. It is arrange | positioned so that it may protrude as the protrusion part 11A formed in the shape. In other words, the protruding portions 11A are each formed in a pointed shape, and are arranged along the direction in which the wire mesh 11B surrounds the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17.
 上述した各構成によれば、マフラー17の外表面17A上に取り付けられた放電装置10は、全体がマフラー17の外表面17Aを取り巻くように配設される金網11Bから、複数の突出部分11Aを突出させた状態に取り付けられる。すなわち、マフラー17に取り付けられた放電装置10においては、マフラー17から突出される尖端形状の部分を残したまま、放電装置10において枝分かれされて突出される部分が省略される。これにより、放電装置10が取り付けられるマフラー17の取り扱い性が悪化されることを抑えることができる。 According to each configuration described above, the discharge device 10 attached on the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17 has a plurality of protruding portions 11A from the wire mesh 11B that is disposed so as to surround the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17 as a whole. Mounted in a protruding state. That is, in the discharge device 10 attached to the muffler 17, the portion branched and protruded in the discharge device 10 is omitted while leaving the pointed portion protruding from the muffler 17. Thereby, it can suppress that the handleability of the muffler 17 to which the discharge device 10 is attached is deteriorated.
 また、上述した各構成によれば、放電装置10においてマフラー17を取り巻く本体部分である金網11Bの側縁部に、この金網11Bがマフラー17の外表面17Aを取り巻く方向に沿って多数本の突出部分11Aを並べて位置させることができる。そして、放電装置10において尖端形状に形成される部分の数を多数本の突出部分11Aによって増やし、放電装置10が発揮する作用効果をより大きくすることができる。 Moreover, according to each structure mentioned above, many protrusions along the direction which this metal net | network 11B surrounds the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17 in the side edge part of the metal net | network 11B which is a main-body part which surrounds the muffler 17 in the discharge device 10 are carried out. The portions 11A can be positioned side by side. And the number of the parts formed in the pointed shape in the discharge device 10 can be increased by a large number of the protruding portions 11A, and the function and effect exhibited by the discharge device 10 can be further increased.
 さらに、上述した各構成によれば、放電装置10の突出部分11Aを、放電部11の本体部分の材料となる金網の切断という簡単な作業によって一度に多数本形成することができる。これにより、多数本の突出部分11Aを有しながら、この多数本の突出部分11Aを製造する手間が簡略化された放電装置10を提供することができる。 Furthermore, according to each structure mentioned above, many protrusion part 11A of the discharge device 10 can be formed at once by the simple operation | work of cutting the metal mesh used as the material of the main-body part of the discharge part 11. FIG. As a result, it is possible to provide the discharge device 10 in which the trouble of manufacturing the multiple protruding portions 11A is simplified while having the multiple protruding portions 11A.
 ところで、金網11Bにおける平織りの構造は、図3に示すように、金網11Bの中にマフラー17側となる面に沿う向きからバンド12に取り付けられる側に向かって曲がった金属線を配設することを実現させる。また、金網11Bは、バンド12の変形を許容する柔軟性を有するように形成されている。また、バンド12は、マフラー17に対して巻きつけて締められた状態(図1参照)に取り付けられることで、金網11Bをマフラー17の外表面17Aに押し付けることを実現させる。これらの構成によれば、金網11Bをマフラー17の外表面17Aに向けて押し撓ませることで、この外表面17Aと金網11Bとの導通不良をこの金網11Bの変形(例えば弾性変形)により抑え、放電装置10による放電の効率を低下されにくくすることができる。 By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, the plain weave structure in the wire mesh 11B is provided with a metal wire bent in the wire mesh 11B from the direction along the surface on the muffler 17 side toward the side attached to the band 12. Is realized. Further, the wire mesh 11B is formed so as to have flexibility to allow the band 12 to be deformed. In addition, the band 12 is attached to the muffler 17 so as to be wound and tightened (see FIG. 1), thereby realizing the pressing of the wire net 11 </ b> B against the outer surface 17 </ b> A of the muffler 17. According to these configurations, by pressing and bending the wire mesh 11B toward the outer surface 17A of the muffler 17, a conduction failure between the outer surface 17A and the wire mesh 11B is suppressed by deformation (for example, elastic deformation) of the wire mesh 11B, The efficiency of discharge by the discharge device 10 can be made difficult to be lowered.
 なお、本実施形態において、金網11Bは、バンド12とは別体とされて、このバンド12によるマフラー17の外表面17Aへの押し付けのみによって取り付けられるものである。このため、図1および図4に示すように、金網11Bとバンド12とはその相対位置が位置ずれすることがある。 In this embodiment, the wire mesh 11B is separated from the band 12, and is attached only by pressing the muffler 17 against the outer surface 17A by the band 12. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the relative positions of the wire mesh 11 </ b> B and the band 12 may be displaced.
 さて、本発明者は、放電装置10が自動車19の内燃エンジン19Aの燃料消費率を改善させる効果を定量的に測定する実験(以下、「測定実験」とも称する。)を行った。以下、上記測定実験の内容およびその結果について説明する。 The present inventor conducted an experiment (hereinafter, also referred to as “measurement experiment”) in which the discharge device 10 quantitatively measures the effect of improving the fuel consumption rate of the internal combustion engine 19 </ b> A of the automobile 19. Hereinafter, the contents and results of the measurement experiment will be described.
 本発明者は、上記測定実験の対象となる自動車(以下、「測定車」とも称する。)として三菱自動車工業株式会社製の軽自動車であるトッポ(登録商標)を選択し、上記測定実験の走行コースとして名古屋高速道路の1号楠線および都心環状線を選択した。上記走行コースは、詳しくは、名古屋高速道路において、黒川ジャンクションから1号楠線を経由して都心環状線に入り、この都心環状線を8周した後に、1号楠線を経由して黒川ジャンクションに戻る走行コースである。 The present inventor selects Toppo (registered trademark), which is a mini vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, as a vehicle (hereinafter also referred to as “measurement vehicle”) as a subject of the measurement experiment, and runs the measurement experiment.

From the amount of oil until the vehicle is full and the mileage of the measuring vehicle calculated in (1) above, the discharge device The fuel consumption rate of the measurement vehicle in the state where 10 is mounted is calculated.
 上記測定実験の実験結果を以下の表1に示す。ここで、表1においては、燃料消費率を単位燃料量あたりの走行距離(すなわち、走行距離を給油量で割った値)として算定している。このため、表1に記載された測定車の燃料消費率は、その数値が大きいほど優れていることとなる。 The experimental results of the above measurement experiment are shown in Table 1 below. Here, in Table 1, the fuel consumption rate is calculated as a travel distance per unit fuel amount (that is, a value obtained by dividing the travel distance by the fuel supply amount). For this reason, the fuel consumption rate of the measurement vehicle described in Table 1 is better as the numerical value is larger.
 また、表1においては、走行距離および給油量の数値を有効数字3桁に丸め、燃料消費率の数値を有効数字4桁に丸めて記載している。 Also, in Table 1, the values of mileage and refueling amount are rounded to 3 significant figures and the fuel consumption rate is rounded to 4 significant figures.

 上記表1からは、上記測定実験において測定車のマフラーに放電装置10を装着することで、上記測定車の燃料消費率が有効数字3桁で20.5[%]改善されたことが分かる。ここで、特開平05-238438号公報に記載された従来の技術では、自動車のマフラーに放電装置を取り付けた場合において、上記自動車の燃料消費率が10%前後改善される。ここから、第1の実施形態にかかる放電装置10は、上記従来の技術の放電装置と比べて自動車の内燃エンジンの燃料消費率を改善させる効果がより大きいということができる。 From Table 1 above, it can be seen that by attaching the discharge device 10 to the muffler of the measurement vehicle in the measurement experiment, the fuel consumption rate of the measurement vehicle was improved by 20.5 [%] with three significant figures. Here, in the conventional technique described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05-238438, when the discharge device is attached to the muffler of the automobile, the fuel consumption rate of the automobile is improved by about 10%. From this, it can be said that the discharge device 10 according to the first embodiment has a greater effect of improving the fuel consumption rate of the internal combustion engine of the automobile as compared with the discharge device of the conventional technology.

 バンド22および金網21Bは、それぞれの帯形状の長手方向(図6で見て左右方向)が一致されるように重ねられて、溶接によって金網21Bが溶かされて生じた接合金属21Cにより互いに接合されている。この構成によれば、放電装置20のバンド22および金網21Bを、互いにばらばらにならないように接合された状態で、マフラー27に一緒に巻き付けて取り付けることが可能となる。これにより、マフラー27への取り付けに際しての作業性が向上された放電装置10を提供することができる。 The band 22 and the wire mesh 21B are overlapped so that the longitudinal directions of the respective belt shapes (the left-right direction in FIG. 6) coincide with each other, and are joined to each other by the joining metal 21C generated by melting the wire mesh 21B by welding. ing. According to this configuration, the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B of the discharge device 20 can be wound together and attached to the muffler 27 in a state where they are joined so as not to be separated from each other. Thereby, it is possible to provide the discharge device 10 with improved workability when attached to the muffler 27.
 ここで、バンド22と金網21Bとは、図5に示すように、その帯形状の長手方向に並ぶ所定数の個所(本実施形態では等間隔に並ぶ8個所であるが、1個所以上の任意の個所数とすることができる。)において点状に接合される。この構成によれば、バンド22および金網21Bが互いの溶接により曲がりにくくなってマフラー27への巻きつけが困難になることを抑えることができる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B are a predetermined number of places arranged in the longitudinal direction of the band shape (in this embodiment, eight places arranged at equal intervals, but one or more arbitrary places). In this case, the dots are joined in a dot shape. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B from being easily bent by mutual welding and difficult to be wound around the muffler 27.
 第2の実施形態にかかる放電装置20において、バンド22と金網21Bとは、図7に仮想線で示すように、ダイレクトスポット溶接装置26によるダイレクトスポット溶接によって一体に接合される。すなわち、ダイレクトスポット溶接装置26は、まず、互いに当接された状態のバンド22と金網21Bを、ダイレクトスポット溶接装置26の電極26A、26Bにより挟み込む。 In the discharge device 20 according to the second embodiment, the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B are joined together by direct spot welding by the direct spot welding device 26, as indicated by a virtual line in FIG. That is, the direct spot welding apparatus 26 first sandwiches the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B in contact with each other by the electrodes 26A and 26B of the direct spot welding apparatus 26.
 ついで、ダイレクトスポット溶接装置26は、その各電極26A、26Bの間に電圧を印加することでバンド22および金網21Bに溶接電流26Cを流す。このとき、溶接電流26Cは、金網21Bを構成する金属線に集中して流れることで、そのジュール熱によって金網21Bを局所的に融解させて接合金属21Cとし、この接合金属21Cにより金網21Bをバンド22に対して隙間なく接合させる。 Next, the direct spot welding device 26 applies a voltage between the electrodes 26A and 26B to cause a welding current 26C to flow through the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B. At this time, the welding current 26C flows in a concentrated manner on the metal wire constituting the wire mesh 21B, so that the wire mesh 21B is locally melted by the Joule heat to form the joining metal 21C, and the wire mesh 21B is banded by the joining metal 21C. It joins to 22 without a gap.
 なお、溶接電流26Cによるジュール熱は、バンド22も一緒に加熱して、このバンド22において電極26A、26Bの間に位置される各表面をわずかに溶かす(図示省略)。これにより、バンド12において電極26Aが当接されていた部分には溶接跡22Cが形成される(図7参照)。 In addition, the Joule heat by the welding current 26C heats the band 22 together and slightly melts each surface located between the electrodes 26A and 26B in the band 22 (not shown). As a result, a weld mark 22C is formed in the portion of the band 12 where the electrode 26A is in contact (see FIG. 7).
 さて、放電装置20は、図8ないし図10に示すように、マフラー27に巻き付けて取り付けた後で、このマフラー27に対して溶接によって固着させることができるようになっている。この場合において、放電装置20の金網21Bは、上記溶接によって生じる接合金属21Dがマフラー27と金網21Bとの間の隙間に充填された状態となることによって、マフラー27に対して一体に接合される。 Now, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the discharge device 20 can be fixed to the muffler 27 by welding after being wound around and attached to the muffler 27. In this case, the metal mesh 21B of the discharge device 20 is integrally joined to the muffler 27 by filling the gap between the muffler 27 and the metal mesh 21B with the joining metal 21D generated by the welding. .
 上記構成によれば、図10に示すように、マフラー27に取り付けられた放電装置20における、金網21Bとマフラー27との間の隙間を接合金属21Dによって埋めてなくすことができる。これにより、上記隙間に汚れ、砂、あるいは機械油などの異物が浸入することによる導通不良を発生しにくくして、放電の効率の低下が抑えられた放電装置20を提供することができる。 According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 10, in the discharge device 20 attached to the muffler 27, the gap between the wire mesh 21B and the muffler 27 can be filled with the bonding metal 21D. As a result, it is possible to provide a discharge device 20 that is less likely to cause poor conduction due to entry of foreign matter such as dirt, sand, or machine oil into the gap, and in which a reduction in discharge efficiency is suppressed.
 なお、本実施形態においては、図8に示すように、上記溶接は金網21Bの帯形状の長手方向に等間隔に並ぶ所定数の個所(本実施形態では4個所であるが、1個所以上の任意の個所数とすることができる。)において行われる。また、本実施形態においては、マフラー27と放電装置20との溶接個所(図8の接合金属21Dを参照)は、放電装置20におけるバンド22と金網21Bとの溶接個所(図8の接合金属21Cを参照)から離間された位置に設定される。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the welding is performed in a predetermined number of locations arranged at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the band shape of the wire mesh 21 </ b> B (in this embodiment, there are four locations, but one or more locations). It can be any number of locations. Further, in the present embodiment, the welding location between the muffler 27 and the discharge device 20 (see the joining metal 21D in FIG. 8) is the welding location between the band 22 and the wire mesh 21B in the discharging device 20 (the joining metal 21C in FIG. 8). The position is set apart from the above.
 さて、本実施形態において、放電装置20とマフラー27との溶接は、図10に仮想線で示すように、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置25によるインダイレクトスポット溶接によって実現される。すなわち、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置25は、まず、マフラー27に取り付けられた放電装置20のバンド22に溶接電極25Aを当接させ、この溶接電極25Aによりバンド22をマフラー27に向けて押し付ける。このとき、放電装置20の金網21Bは、マフラー27とバンド22との間に押し挟まれた状態となる(図示省略)。 In the present embodiment, the welding between the discharge device 20 and the muffler 27 is realized by indirect spot welding by the indirect spot welding device 25 as indicated by a virtual line in FIG. That is, the indirect spot welding device 25 first brings the welding electrode 25A into contact with the band 22 of the discharge device 20 attached to the muffler 27, and presses the band 22 toward the muffler 27 by the welding electrode 25A. At this time, the wire mesh 21B of the discharge device 20 is pressed between the muffler 27 and the band 22 (not shown).
 ついで、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置25は、溶接電極25Aに対して所定の距離だけ離間されたアース電極25Bをマフラー27の外表面27Aに当接させる。そして、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置25は、その溶接電極25Aとアース電極25Bとの間に電圧を印加することでバンド22および金網21Bならびにマフラー27に溶接電流25Cを流す。 Next, the indirect spot welding device 25 causes the ground electrode 25B separated by a predetermined distance from the welding electrode 25A to contact the outer surface 27A of the muffler 27. The indirect spot welding device 25 applies a voltage between the welding electrode 25A and the ground electrode 25B to cause a welding current 25C to flow through the band 22, the wire mesh 21B, and the muffler 27.
 このとき、溶接電流25Cは、金網21Bを構成する金属線に集中して流れることで、そのジュール熱によって金網21Bを局所的に融解させて接合金属21Dとする。また、溶接電流25Cによるジュール熱はバンド22を加熱してこのバンド22を軟化させるため、溶接電極25Aはバンド22をマフラー27に向けて局所的に押し凹ませて溶接圧痕22Dとする。このため、溶接電流25Cによって生じた接合金属21Dは、バンド22の溶接圧痕22Dとマフラー27の外表面との間に隙間なく充填された状態となり、このマフラー27と放電装置20とを接合させる。 At this time, the welding current 25C flows in a concentrated manner on the metal wire constituting the wire mesh 21B, so that the wire mesh 21B is locally melted by the Joule heat to form the joining metal 21D. Since Joule heat generated by the welding current 25C heats the band 22 and softens the band 22, the welding electrode 25A locally pushes the band 22 toward the muffler 27 to form a welding impression 22D. For this reason, the joining metal 21 </ b> D generated by the welding current 25 </ b> C is filled with no gap between the welding impression 22 </ b> D of the band 22 and the outer surface of the muffler 27, and the muffler 27 and the discharge device 20 are joined.
 なお、バンド22およびマフラー27は、溶接電流25Cが流された際に、この溶接電流25Cのジュール熱により接合金属21Dと接触する部分の各表面がわずかに溶かされる(図示省略)。また、溶接電流25Cは、アース電極25Bとマフラー27とが互いに当接される部分においてもジュール熱を発生させて、このジュール熱の熱影響による溶接跡27B(図9および図10を参照)をマフラー27に形成する。 In addition, when the welding current 25C flows, the band 22 and the muffler 27 are slightly melted at the respective surfaces of the portions that come into contact with the bonding metal 21D by the Joule heat of the welding current 25C (not shown). Further, the welding current 25C generates Joule heat even in a portion where the earth electrode 25B and the muffler 27 are in contact with each other, and a welding mark 27B (see FIGS. 9 and 10) due to the thermal effect of the Joule heat is generated. Muffler 27 is formed.
 ところで、金属製の物品は、特別な処置を取らない限り、その表面が金属表面膜で覆われた状態となるものである。この金属表面膜は、具体的には、物品の表面において金属が酸化された酸化物または物品の表面において金属が腐食された腐食物あるいは外部から物品の表面に付着した物質などからなる膜であり、一般に金属よりも電気抵抗率が大きいものである。なお、本実施形態においては、図10に示すように、放電装置20の放電部21およびバンド22、ならびに、マフラー27の各表面が、金属表面膜21E、22E、27Cによって覆われた状態となっている。 By the way, a metal article has a surface covered with a metal surface film unless special measures are taken. Specifically, the metal surface film is a film made of an oxide obtained by oxidizing a metal on the surface of an article, a corrosive substance obtained by corroding a metal on the surface of the article, or a substance attached to the surface of the article from the outside. In general, the electrical resistivity is higher than that of metal. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the discharge unit 21 and the band 22 of the discharge device 20 and the surfaces of the muffler 27 are covered with the metal surface films 21E, 22E, and 27C. ing.
 ここで、上記インダイレクトスポット溶接においては、バンド22およびマフラー27の各表面と接合金属21Dとがそれぞれ溶かされて隙間なく接合される。このため、バンド22および金網21Bとマフラー27とは、図10に示すように、接合金属21Dによって金属表面膜21E、22E、27Cを介することなく接合されて導通される。接合金属21Dによって金網21Bとマフラー27とを金属表面膜21E、27Cを介することなく接合させて導通させる構成によれば、この金属表面膜21E、27Eによるマフラー27と放電部21との導通不良が発生しにくくなる。これにより、放電の効率がより低下されにくくされた放電装置20を提供することができる。 Here, in the indirect spot welding, the surfaces of the band 22 and the muffler 27 and the joining metal 21D are melted and joined without a gap. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, the band 22, the wire mesh 21B, and the muffler 27 are joined and conducted by the joining metal 21D without the metal surface films 21E, 22E, and 27C. According to the configuration in which the metal mesh 21B and the muffler 27 are joined by the joining metal 21D without passing through the metal surface films 21E and 27C, the conduction failure between the muffler 27 and the discharge portion 21 due to the metal surface films 21E and 27E is caused. Less likely to occur. Thereby, it is possible to provide the discharge device 20 in which the discharge efficiency is less likely to be reduced.

That is, the end pipe 38 to which the discharge device 30 is attached is a “part to be attached” in the above description of one feature of the present invention.
 放電装置30は、第1の実施形態にかかる放電装置10において切断された金網11Bによって形成される放電部11(図2参照)の代わりに、エンドパイプ38をくるむように配設される金属製の放電部31を備えている。また、放電装置30は、第1の実施形態にかかる放電装置10においてマフラー17を取り巻いた状態に取り付けられるバンド12(図1参照)の代わりに、放電装置30をエンドパイプ38に対して締結させる取り付けボルト32を備えている。なお、図11および図13に示した放電装置30は取り付けボルト32を1本だけ備えているが、この取り付けボルト32の本数および配設位置は適宜変更することができるものである。 The discharge device 30 is made of metal and is disposed so as to surround the end pipe 38 instead of the discharge portion 11 (see FIG. 2) formed by the wire mesh 11B cut in the discharge device 10 according to the first embodiment. A discharge unit 31 is provided. Moreover, the discharge device 30 fastens the discharge device 30 to the end pipe 38 instead of the band 12 (see FIG. 1) attached to the state surrounding the muffler 17 in the discharge device 10 according to the first embodiment. A mounting bolt 32 is provided. The discharge device 30 shown in FIGS. 11 and 13 includes only one mounting bolt 32.

Further, the main body portion 31B includes an extension plate 31D at a portion located on the rear side (left side as viewed in FIG. 13) of the cylinder. The extension plate 31D extends toward the inner side of the end pipe 38 along the surface of the end 38E of the end pipe 38, thereby wrapping the end 38E of the end pipe 38. With this configuration, the main body portion 31 </ b> B is disposed so as to extend along the outer surface 38 </ b> A of the end pipe 38.
 ここで、本体部分31Bは、その外表面に鏡面加工が施されている。また、延長板31Dには、図11および図12に示すように、エンドパイプ38の内部側となる端縁に複数本の切り込み31Eが入れられている。この各切り込み31Eは、それぞれが同じ長さに形成されて、上記端縁に沿って一定の間隔を空けて並べられている。これにより、延長板31Dは、後方側(図11で見て紙面手前側)から見た際に歯車をイメージさせる形状の孔が認識される意匠(図11では細部の一部を図示省略)を呈するようになっている。そして、これらの構成により、本体部分31Bは、その意匠性が向上されている。 Here, the main body portion 31B has a mirror finish on its outer surface. Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the extension plate 31 </ b> D has a plurality of cuts 31 </ b> E formed at the end edge on the inner side of the end pipe 38. The cuts 31E are formed to have the same length, and are arranged at regular intervals along the edge. As a result, the extension plate 31D has a design (a part of the details are not shown in FIG. 11) in which a hole having a shape resembling a gear is recognized when viewed from the rear side (the front side in FIG. 11). It has come to be presented. And by these structures, the design property of the main-body part 31B is improved.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, the configuration of the discharge device 40 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16. The discharge device 40 according to the fourth embodiment is a modified embodiment of the discharge device 30 according to the third embodiment described above. Therefore, components common to the components described in the third embodiment are denoted by reference numerals in which the tenth digit is replaced with “4” from the reference numerals used in the description of the third embodiment. Therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted. Of the operational effects of the respective configurations of the discharge device 40, those that are common to the operational effects of the respective configurations of the discharge device 30 will not be described in detail.
 第4の実施形態にかかる放電装置40は、図14および図15に示すように、第3の実施形態にかかる放電装置30においてこの放電装置30をエンドパイプ38に対して締結させる取り付けボルト32を、複数本のクランピングボルト42に置き換えたものである。この各クランピングボルト42は、放電部41の本体部分41Bに差し込まれた状態に取り付けられて、それぞれの先端をエンドパイプ48の外表面48Aに押し付ける金属製のボルトである。これにより、各クランピングボルト42は、放電装置40がエンドパイプ48をクランプすることを実現させる。なお、図14および図15に示した放電装置40はクランピングボルト42を2本だけ備えているが、このクランピングボルト42の本数および配設位置は適宜変更することができるものである。 As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the discharge device 40 according to the fourth embodiment includes mounting bolts 32 for fastening the discharge device 30 to the end pipe 38 in the discharge device 30 according to the third embodiment. A plurality of clamping bolts 42 are replaced. Each of the clamping bolts 42 is a metal bolt that is attached in a state of being inserted into the main body portion 41 </ b> B of the discharge portion 41 and presses the tip of each of the clamping bolts 42 against the outer surface 48 </ b> A of the end pipe 48. Thereby, each clamping bolt 42 realizes that the discharge device 40 clamps the end pipe 48. The discharge device 40 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 includes only two clamping bolts 42, but the number and arrangement positions of the clamping bolts 42 can be changed as appropriate.
 放電装置40は、図15および図16に示すように、その各クランピングボルト42によってエンドパイプ48をクランプした状態で、このエンドパイプ48に対して圧接によって固着させることができるようになっている。この場合において、放電装置40は、上記圧接によって生じる接合金属42Aにより、エンドパイプ48に対して一体に接合される。 As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the discharge device 40 can be fixed to the end pipe 48 by pressure contact in a state where the end pipe 48 is clamped by the respective clamping bolts 42. . In this case, the discharge device 40 is integrally joined to the end pipe 48 by the joining metal 42A generated by the pressure welding.
 上記構成によれば、エンドパイプ48をクランプした放電装置40における、エンドパイプ48と各クランピングボルト42との間および各クランピングボルト42と放電部41との間の各隙間を接合金属42Aによって埋めてなくすことができる。 According to the above configuration, in the discharge device 40 in which the end pipe 48 is clamped, the gaps between the end pipe 48 and each clamping bolt 42 and between each clamping bolt 42 and the discharge portion 41 are formed by the joining metal 42A. Can be buried.
 さて、本実施形態において、放電装置40とエンドパイプ48との圧接は、図16に仮想線で示すように、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置45を使用することによって実現される。すなわち、上記圧接において、作業者(図示省略)は、まず、放電装置40の本体部分41Bにクランピングボルト42をねじ込んで締めることで、このクランピングボルト42によりエンドパイプ48をクランプする。 In the present embodiment, the pressure welding between the discharge device 40 and the end pipe 48 is realized by using an indirect spot welding device 45 as indicated by a virtual line in FIG. That is, in the press contact, an operator (not shown) first clamps the end pipe 48 with the clamping bolt 42 by screwing the clamping bolt 42 into the main body portion 41B of the discharge device 40 and tightening it.
 このとき、放電装置40のクランピングボルト42は、その頭部側の部分が本体部分41Bに押し当てられ、かつ、その先端がエンドパイプ48の外表面48Aに押し当てられた状態となる。ここで、本実施形態においては、図16に示すように、クランピングボルト42の頭部における裏側(図16で見て下側)の面と、クランピングボルト42のねじ部における頭部側(図16で見て上側)の部分とが本体部分41Bに押し当てられた状態とされる。また、クランピングボルト42、本体部分41B、および、エンドパイプ48は、それぞれの表面が金属表面膜42B、41C、48Cで覆われた状態となっている。なお、作業者は、プレス装置などの冶具(図示省略)を使用して、クランピングボルト42を本体部分41Bおよびエンドパイプ48のそれぞれに対して押し付けることもできる。 At this time, the clamping bolt 42 of the discharge device 40 is in a state where the head side portion is pressed against the main body portion 41B and the tip thereof is pressed against the outer surface 48A of the end pipe 48. Here, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, the back side (lower side in FIG. 16) of the head of the clamping bolt 42 and the head side of the threaded portion of the clamping bolt 42 ( The upper portion in FIG. 16 is pressed against the main body portion 41B. Further, the clamping bolt 42, the main body portion 41B, and the end pipe 48 are covered with metal surface films 42B, 41C, and 48C, respectively. The operator can also press the clamping bolt 42 against each of the main body portion 41 </ b> B and the end pipe 48 using a jig (not shown) such as a press device.
 クランピングボルト42が本体部分41Bおよびエンドパイプ48のそれぞれに対して押し付けられた状態において、作業者は、クランピングボルト42の頭部における表側(図16で見て上側)の面にインダイレクトスポット溶接装置45の溶接電極45Aを当接させた状態にセットする。続いて、作業者は、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置45のアース電極45Bをエンドパイプ48の外表面48Aに当接させた状態にセットする。この際、溶接電極45Aおよびアース電極45Bは、互いに所定の距離だけ離間されて、当接される部材に対して押圧力を加えないようにセットされる。 In a state where the clamping bolt 42 is pressed against each of the main body portion 41B and the end pipe 48, the operator places an indirect spot on the front side (upper side in FIG. 16) of the head of the clamping bolt 42. The welding electrode 45A of the welding device 45 is set in a contact state. Subsequently, the operator sets the ground electrode 45 </ b> B of the indirect spot welding device 45 in a state of being in contact with the outer surface 48 </ b> A of the end pipe 48. At this time, the welding electrode 45 </ b> A and the ground electrode 45 </ b> B are set apart from each other by a predetermined distance so as not to apply a pressing force to the abutted member.
 そして、作業者は、インダイレクトスポット溶接装置45の溶接電極45Aとアース電極45Bとの間に電圧を印加することで放電装置40およびエンドパイプ48に溶接電流45Cを流す。この際、クランピングボルト42が本体部分41B上におけるエンドパイプ48の根元側(図16で見て右側)の端に配設されていると、溶接電流45Cが流れる溶接電極45Aとアース電極45Bとの間の距離を短くして溶接電流45Cのロスを少なくすることが可能となる。 Then, the operator applies a voltage between the welding electrode 45A and the ground electrode 45B of the indirect spot welding device 45 to flow a welding current 45C through the discharge device 40 and the end pipe 48. At this time, if the clamping bolt 42 is disposed at the end of the end pipe 48 on the main body portion 41B (on the right side in FIG. 16), the welding electrode 45A and the ground electrode 45B through which a welding current 45C flows are provided. It is possible to reduce the loss of the welding current 45C by shortening the distance between the two.
 インダイレクトスポット溶接装置45から流される溶接電流45Cは、クランピングボルト42に集中して流れることで、そのジュール熱によってクランピングボルト42と、本体部分41Bおよびエンドパイプ48においてクランピングボルト42が押し当てられた部分とを軟化させる。そして、クランピングボルト42、本体部分41B、および、エンドパイプ48において軟化された部分は、それぞれが金属表面膜42B、41C、48Cを突き破るように内部の金属を固相状態で押し出させて接合金属42Aとする。この接合金属42Aは、クランピングボルト42の先端とエンドパイプ48の外表面48Aとの間、および、クランピングボルト42と本体部分41Bとの間の各隙間を埋めることで、このエンドパイプ48と放電装置40とを一体に導通された状態に接合させる。これにより、クランピングボルト42、本体部分41B、および、エンドパイプ48の間には、図16に示すように、金属表面膜42B、41C、48Cを介することなく接合されて導通された部分ができる。 The welding current 45C flowing from the indirect spot welding device 45 flows in a concentrated manner on the clamping bolt 42, so that the clamping bolt 42 is pressed by the clamping bolt 42, the main body portion 41B and the end pipe 48 by the Joule heat. Softens the applied part. The clamping bolt 42, the main body portion 41B, and the softened portion of the end pipe 48 are formed by extruding the inner metal in a solid state so that each of the clamping bolt 42, the end pipe 48 and the metal surface films 42B, 41C, 48C breaks through. 42A. The joining metal 42A fills the gaps between the tip of the clamping bolt 42 and the outer surface 48A of the end pipe 48 and between the clamping bolt 42 and the main body portion 41B. The discharge device 40 is joined to the conductive state integrally. Thereby, between the clamping bolt 42, the main body portion 41B, and the end pipe 48, as shown in FIG. 16, there is a portion that is joined and conducted without passing through the metal surface films 42B, 41C, and 48C. .
 ここで、溶接電極45Aは、この溶接電極45Aが当接されるクランピングボルト42に対して押圧力を加えないようにセットされるため、このクランピングボルト42の内部から溶接電極45Aとクランピングボルト42との間の隙間に金属を押し出すことがない。この構成によれば、溶接電流45Cを流す際に、溶接電極45Aがクランピングボルト42に対して接合されることと、軟化されたクランピングボルト42に圧痕が形成されることとをなくすことができる。 Here, since the welding electrode 45A is set so as not to apply a pressing force to the clamping bolt 42 against which the welding electrode 45A abuts, the welding electrode 45A and the clamping electrode 45A are clamped from the inside of the clamping bolt 42. Metal is not pushed out into the gap between the bolts 42. According to this configuration, when flowing the welding current 45C, the welding electrode 45A is not joined to the clamping bolt 42 and the indentation is not formed on the softened clamping bolt 42. it can.
 なお、溶接電流45Cは、アース電極45Bとエンドパイプ48とが互いに当接される部分においてもジュール熱を発生させて、このジュール熱の熱影響による溶接跡48B(図15および図16を参照)をエンドパイプ48に形成する。 Note that the welding current 45C generates Joule heat even at a portion where the ground electrode 45B and the end pipe 48 are in contact with each other, and a welding mark 48B due to the thermal effect of the Joule heat (see FIGS. 15 and 16). Is formed in the end pipe 48.
