1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an exhaust muffler for a vehicle. In particular, the present invention relates to an exhaust muffler for a vehicle formed in a double structure by an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventionally, what is employed is an exhaust muffler for a vehicle in which the outer circumferential portion of the exhaust muffler is formed in a double structure by an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, in order to suppress noises or heat emitted from the outer circumferential portion. With such an exhaust muffler, a sound absorbing material such as glass wool is packed between the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve. Since the sound absorbing material also serves as a heat insulating material, the temperature of the outer sleeve becomes lower than that of the inner sleeve. Accordingly, there is a difference between the thermal expansion amount of the outer sleeve and that of the inner sleeve.
In order for the difference of the thermal expansion amount to be tolerated, the inner sleeve has its one end portion supported via a support ring so as to be slidable relative to the outer sleeve. Thus, it is structured to tolerate the elongation of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve. There is Prior Technique Document JP 8-61046 A.
Meanwhile, assembly of the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve in order for the elongation of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve to be tolerated necessitates the support ring. Therefore, an increase in the number of components results. Further, it is troublesome to fix the support ring to the inner sleeve by welding. That is, with the exhaust muffler formed in a double structure by the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve, it is difficult to improve productivity, and an increase in costs results.
The present invention is made in consideration of the foregoing problems, and an object thereof is to provide an exhaust muffler for a vehicle formed in a double structure by an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, the productivity of which can be improved.
In order to achieve the object stated above, the present invention provides an exhaust muffler for a vehicle including: a sleeve portion made up of an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, the inner sleeve being arranged in the outer sleeve with an interval; an upstream side cover that has an exhaust entrance and that closes an upstream side opening of the sleeve portion; and a downstream side cover that has an exhaust exit and that closes a downstream side opening of the sleeve portion. One of the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover has a peripheral flange portion that externally holds the sleeve portion. The peripheral flange portion has an outer sleeve holding portion and an inner sleeve holding portion positioned inner than the outer sleeve holding portion. One end portion of the inner sleeve abuts on the inner sleeve holding portion so as to be slidable in a length direction of the inner sleeve. One end portion of the outer sleeve is fixed to the outer sleeve holding portion. Other end portion of the outer sleeve and other end portion of the inner sleeve are fixed to other one of the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover.
With the structure described above, without the necessity of providing an extra member, the inner sleeve can be held so as to be slidable in the length direction of the inner sleeve between the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover, in the outer sleeve. Thus, provision of an extra member for absorbing the difference between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve in the thermal expansion amount can be avoided, whereby productivity of the exhaust muffler for a vehicle can be improved.
In the exhaust muffler, preferably, the following structure can be employed.
(1) A first end portion of the inner sleeve is bent inward.
With the structure (1), the bent portion being bent radially inward is allowed to abut on the entrance portion of the inner sleeve holding portion, whereby the first end portion of the inner sleeve can be guided to the inner sleeve holding face to be fitted thereto. Thus, for example, when the upstream side cover is fixed by welding to the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve is assembled from the downstream side of the outer sleeve, the inner sleeve can be fitted to the inner sleeve holding portion at the bottom while the tip portion (the first end portion) of the inner sleeve is guided by the bent portion. That is, the inner sleeve can be easily fitted to the inner sleeve holding portion at the bottom that is not easily visually recognized from the outside.
(2) The inner sleeve holding portion is structured by a plurality of arc-shaped portions being arranged in the circumferential direction of the peripheral flange portion as being distanced from one another.
With the structure (2), the inner sleeve holding portion is divided into a plurality of pieces to be arranged in the circumferential direction, whereby the number of places where the inner sleeve holding portion is provided in a concave manner in each of the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover can be reduced. As a result, as compared with the case where the inner sleeve holding portion is provided over the entire circumference, a reduction in the inner volume in the upstream side cover itself and the downstream side cover itself can be suppressed, and hence the volume of the exhaust muffler for a vehicle can be secured, whereby sound deadening performance can be secured.
(3) The upstream side cover and the downstream side cover are members of a substantially identical shape. In the other of the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover, the first end portion of the inner sleeve is fixed to the inner sleeve holding portion, and a first end portion of the outer sleeve is fixed to the outer sleeve holding portion.
With the structure (3), the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover are structured by members of a substantially identical shape. Thus, using a common tooling for forming the upstream side cover and the downstream side cover, productivity of the exhaust muffler for a vehicle can be improved.
[Overall Structure]
In the following, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a description will be given of a first embodiment of the present invention. Note that, for the sake of convenience in describing, the following description is based on the premise that the front-rear direction of a vehicle is applied to the front-rear direction of the exhaust muffler and other components, and that the right-left direction in connection with the vehicle-width direction (the right and left sides as seen from the rear of the vehicle) as seen from the passengers on the vehicle is applied to the right-left direction of the exhaust muffler and other components.
In the passenger space 14, a floor panel 16 forming the floor surface, a front seat 17, and a rear seat 18 are provided. Below the rear seat 18, an engine 20 is stored. In front of the engine 20, an exhaust portion 21 for discharging exhaust gas is provided. To the exhaust portion 21, an exhaust system 1 is connected, and the exhaust gas discharged from the engine 20 is purified by the exhaust system 1 with exhaust noises being cancelled, and discharged into the air.
[Exhaust System 1]
With reference to
The exhaust muffler mounting portion 24 has a support bracket 241 fixed to the upper portion of the transmission 22, and rod engaging portions 242 fixed by welding to the top face of the support bracket 241. The rod engaging portions 242 are provided to form a right and left pair, and each provided with a rubber damper 242a having a bore penetrating in the front-rear direction. Into the bore of the rubber damper 242a, a rod 82 of the exhaust muffler mounting apparatus 8 is inserted in the front-rear direction, whereby the exhaust muffler 2 is held.
[Exhaust Pipe 7]
The exhaust pipe 7 extends from the flange 71, via a pipe 70 being curved to detour the engine 20 from the left side toward the rear side, and reaches the exhaust muffler 2 via an entrance cone portion 73. On the outer surface of the pipe 70, a heat shield plate 72 is attached, whereby heat is prevented from dissipating from the surface of the pipe 70 to the surrounding components. To the entrance cone portion 73, a sensor mounting boss 74 (see

(Muffler Body 3)
The muffler body 3 has a shell formed by the sleeve portion 30, an upstream side cover 33 closing the upstream side opening of the sleeve portion 30, and a downstream side cover 34 closing the downstream side opening of the sleeve portion 30. At the upstream side cover 33, an exhaust entrance portion 332 connected to the entrance cone portion 73 of the exhaust pipe 7 (see
In the muffler body 3, an upstream side separator 35 and a downstream side separator 36 are provided. A second expansion chamber 38 is formed between the upstream side cover 33 and the upstream side separator 35, and a first expansion chamber 37 is formed between the upstream side separator 35 and the downstream side separator 36. By the provision of the downstream side separator 36, the downstream side of the exhaust muffler body 3 becomes the double structure, and a heat insulation chamber (or a sound shield chamber) 39 is formed between the downstream side separator 36 and the downstream side cover 34. Therefore, in the muffler body 3, the second expansion chamber 38, the first expansion chamber 37, and the heat insulation chamber 39 are formed in turn from the front side.
Further, the muffler body 3 is provided with an entrance communication pipe 40 communicatively connecting between the exhaust entrance portion 332 and the first expansion chamber 37, and an exit communication pipe 41 communicatively connecting between the second expansion chamber 38 and the exhaust exit portion 342.
Next, a specific description will be given of the constituent elements of the muffler body 3.
Upstream Side Cover 33
The upstream side cover 33 has a front wall 331, an exhaust entrance portion 332 formed at the substantially left half surface of the front wall 331, and an upstream side cover flange portion 333 projecting rearward from the circumference of the front wall 331. At the substantially right half surface of the front wall 331, a substantially X-shaped reinforcing bead 331a projecting frontward is formed. Formation of the reinforcing bead 331a improves the surface stiffness of the front wall 331, whereby vibration noises (chattering noises) of the front wall 331 are suppressed. Furthermore, as the reinforcing bead 331a is formed so as to project frontward, the volume of the muffler body 3 increases.
As shown in
Referring back to
Downstream Side Cover 34
The downstream side cover 34 has a rear wall 341, an exhaust exit portion 342 formed at the substantially right half surface of the rear wall 341 and a downstream side cover flange portion 343 projecting frontward from the periphery of the rear wall 341. At the substantially left half surface of the rear wall 341, a substantially X-shaped reinforcing bead 341a projecting rearward is formed. Formation of the reinforcing bead 341a improves the surface stiffness of the rear wall 341, whereby vibration noises (chattering noises) of the rear wall 341 are suppressed. Furthermore, as the reinforcing bead 341a is formed so as to project rearward, the volume of the muffler body 3 increases.
The exhaust exit portion 342 has a gasket mounting face 342a formed in a concave manner frontward from the rear wall 341, an exhaust exit opening 342b bored at the gasket mounting face 342a, and a spark arrester mounting portion 342c provided on the rear wall 341 radially outward than the gasket mounting face 342a.
The downstream side cover flange portion 343 has a downstream side inner sleeve holding portion 343a projecting frontward from the periphery of the rear wall 341, and a downstream side outer sleeve holding portion 343c further projecting frontward from the downstream side inner sleeve holding portion 343a via a downstream side step portion 343b. The downstream side outer sleeve holding portion 343c is positioned radially further outward than the downstream side inner sleeve holding portion 343a.
Note that, the upstream side cover 33 and the downstream side cover 34 are members of a substantially identical shape. They are different from each other in that the upstream side cover 33 is provided with the exhaust entrance portion 332, while the downstream side cover 34 is provided with the exhaust exit portion 342. That is, when the upstream side cover 33 is rotated in the horizontal direction by 180° degrees, the shape of the upstream side cover 33 becomes substantially identical to that of the downstream side cover 34. Specifically, the upstream side cover flange portion 333 and the downstream side cover flange portion 343 are of an identical shape, and the reinforcing bead 331a and the reinforcing bead 341a are formed at an identical position in an identical shape.
Thus, the upstream side cover 33 and the downstream side cover 34 are formed by an identical tooling except for the exhaust entrance portion 332 and the exhaust exit portion 342. After the flange portions 333 and 343 and the reinforcing beads 331a and 341a are formed by an identical tooling, the exhaust entrance portion 332 is formed at the upstream side cover 33, and the exhaust exit portion 342 is formed at the downstream side cover 34.
Sleeve Portion 30
As shown in
The outer sleeve 31 is a cylindrical element formed of a steel plate being wound in an elliptical manner, the abutting ends of which are joined to each other by welding. The outer sleeve 31 extends from the upstream side outer sleeve holding portion 333c to the downstream side outer sleeve holding portion 343c. The front portion of the outer sleeve 31 is fixed by welding to the rear end peripheral portion of the upstream side outer sleeve holding portion 333c, and the rear portion of the outer sleeve 31 is fixed by welding to the front end peripheral portion of the downstream side outer sleeve holding portion 343c.
The inner sleeve 32 is a cylindrical element formed of a steel plate being wound in an elliptical manner, the abutting ends of which are joined to each other by welding. The inner sleeve 32 extends from the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a to the downstream side inner sleeve holding portion 343a. The front portion of the inner sleeve 32 has its outer circumferential cylindrical face internally fitted to the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction (that is, in the longitudinal direction of the muffler body 3). On the other hand, the rear portion of the inner sleeve 32 is fixed by welding at several portions in the circumferential direction, as being interposed between the downstream side separator flange portion 362 and the downstream side inner sleeve holding portion 343a.
Since the inner sleeve 32 is held in this manner, the relative elongation between the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32 can be tolerated. That is, when exhaust gas flows inside the exhaust muffler body 3, the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32 thermally expand in accordance with their respective temperatures. Meanwhile, the sleeve portion 30 has a double structure made up of the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32, and furthermore, the sound absorbing material 43 is arranged between the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32. Accordingly, the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32 are different from each other in temperature. More specifically, the temperature of the inner sleeve 32 facing the first and second expansion chambers 37 and 38 and the heat insulation chamber 39 is higher than that of the outer sleeve 31 being exposed to the air. Therefore, the thermal expansion amount of the inner sleeve 32 is greater than that of the outer sleeve 31.
At this time, the upstream side cover 33 and the downstream side cover 34 move away from each other in accordance with the thermal expansion amount of the outer sleeve 31, and the inner sleeve 32 having its rear portion fixed to the downstream side cover 34 shifts with the downstream side cover 34. On the other hand, the front portion of the inner sleeve 32 slides over the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a of the upstream side cover 33 and thermally expands freely, irrespective of the displacement of the upstream side cover 33 corresponding to the thermal expansion amount of the outer sleeve 31. That is, the relative elongation of the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32 is tolerated.
Further, the inner sleeve 32 is provided with many pores 322 that establish communication between the sound absorption chamber 42 and the second expansion chamber 38. Further, as shown in
Thus, for example in the case where the upstream side cover 33 is fixed by welding to the outer sleeve 31 and thereafter the inner sleeve 32 is assembled from the downstream side of the outer sleeve 31, the tip portion of the inner sleeve 32 can be easily fitted to the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a at the bottom while being guided by the bent portion 321. That is, the inner sleeve 32 can be easily fitted to the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a at the bottom that cannot easily be visually recognized.
Upstream Side Separator 35
Referring back to
Downstream Side Separator 36
The downstream side separator 36 has a downstream side partition wall 361 that partitions the inner circumferential side of the inner sleeve 32 into the first expansion chamber 37 and the expansion chamber 39, and a downstream side separator flange portion 362 projecting rearward from the periphery of the downstream side partition wall 361. At the downstream side partition wall 361, a burring-like exit communication pipe mounting portion 361a projecting rearward is formed. The downstream side separator 36 is fixed to the downstream side inner sleeve holding portion 343a by welding, together with the rear portion of the inner sleeve 32 as described above, at several portions in the circumferential direction via the downstream side separator flange portion 362.
Entrance Communication Pipe 40
The entrance communication pipe 40 is made of a straight tubular pipe member having a constant diameter, and extends rearward from the exhaust entrance portion 332, to the rear side of the entrance communication pipe mounting portion 351a. In the entrance communication pipe 40, a catalyst 6 is arranged. As shown in
Catalyst 6
The catalyst 6 is structured by a first catalyst 61 and a second catalyst 62, in each of which a honeycomb carrier made of metal is supported noble metal. The second catalyst 62 has its downstream side end face substantially matched with the downstream end portion of the entrance communication pipe 40. The first catalyst 61 is arranged to be away on the upstream side by a prescribed distance relative to the second catalyst 62.
Distance L1 between the upstream side end face of the first catalyst 61 and the downstream side end face of the second catalyst 62 is sufficiently shorter than length L2 of the entrance communication pipe 40. For example, distance L1 is set to be substantially half as great as L2. That is, in front of the first catalyst 61 in the entrance communication pipe 40, a space having a substantially identical inner diameter as the outer diameter of the first catalyst 61 is formed over a prescribed length.
The first catalyst 61 and the second catalyst 62 are fixed by brazing to the inner circumferential face of the entrance communication pipe 40.
Exit Communication Pipe 41
The exit communication pipe 41 has a straight tubular pipe member 411 having a constant diameter, and a lid member 412 joined by welding to the front end portion of the pipe member 411. The pipe member 411 extends from the front of the exit communication pipe mounting portion 351b to immediately before the exhaust exit portion 342 via the exit communication pipe mounting portion 361a. Note that, the central axis of the pipe member 411 is substantially identical to the central axis of the exhaust exit opening 342b. The rear end position of the pipe member 411 is set so as not to be in contact with the exhaust exit portion 342, in consideration of the shape tolerance, the assembly tolerance, the thermal expansion amount and the like of each component.
At the lid member 412, a burring-like opening 412a projecting frontward is formed. The exit communication pipe 41 is fixed by welding at several portions in the circumferential direction to the exit communication pipe mounting portion 351b of the upstream side separator 35 at a slightly frontward position than the central portion in the front-rear direction of the pipe member 411. Further, the exit communication pipe 41 is fixed by welding at several portions in the circumferential direction, on the rear portion of the pipe member 411, to the exit communication pipe mounting portion 361a of the downstream side separator 36.
(Spark Arrester 5)
Next, a description will be given of the spark arrester 5 with reference to
The spark arrester body portion 51 is in a shape of a sleeve whose front end portion is closed while being open rearward. The circumference of the spark arrester body portion 51 is formed by having a mesh-like member made of metal cylindrically wrapped around such that its opposite peripheries overlap each other, and by fixing the overlapped peripheries at several portions by spot welding. Then, as shown in
Referring back to
The spark arrester flange 53 includes a substantially triangular base plate 531 (see
Referring back to
By allowing the rear end portion of the spark arrester body portion 51 to be inserted between the inner circumferential ring 54 and the outer circumferential ring 55, and fixing the inner circumferential ring 54 and the outer circumferential ring 55 to each other by spot welding, the spark arrester body portion 51 made of a mesh-like member is surely fixed to the inner circumferential ring 54 and the outer circumferential ring 55 each being a plate-like member.
At the rear portion of the inner circumferential ring 54, the tailpipe 52 is fitted to the inner circumferential side, and the tailpipe mounting portion 533 of the spark arrester flange 53 is fitted to the outer circumferential side. The rear end portion of the tailpipe mounting portion 533 is positioned slightly frontward relative to the rear end portion of the inner circumferential ring 54. Thus, the rear end portion of the tailpipe mounting portion 533 and the rear end portion of the inner circumferential ring 54 are arranged stepwise on the outer circumference face of the tailpipe 52, and these three components are integrally joined by a common welding bead W2.
Here, with reference to
(Exhaust Muffler Mounting Apparatus 8)
Next, a description will be given of the exhaust muffler mounting apparatus 8. As shown in
The first and second inclined portions 811 and 812 are respectively provided with reinforcing beads 811a and 812a provided in the direction being away from the outer sleeve 31 in a concave manner. Further, the horizontal portion 813 is provided with rod mounting portions 813a for mounting the rods 82 and a reinforcing bead 813b provided in a concave manner toward the outer sleeve 31. The rod mounting portions 813a are formed as a right and left pair. The reinforcing bead 813b is formed over the joining portion of the horizontal portion 813 and the first and second inclined portions 811 and 812. Provision of the reinforcing beads 811a, 812a, and 813b improves rigidity of the rod support plate 81.
Further, since the reinforcing beads 811a and 812a are provided in a concave manner in the direction being away from the outer sleeve 31, the reinforcing beads 811a and 812a are prevented from abutting on the outer surface of the outer sleeve 31, whereby the first and second inclined portions 811 and 812 can easily conform to the outer surface of the outer sleeve 31. Thus, the first and second inclined portions 811 and 812 can be more surely fixed by welding to the outer sleeve 31.
Further, since the reinforcing bead 813b is provided in a concave manner toward the outer sleeve 31, the reinforcing bead 813b is prevented from abutting on the outer surface of the rods 82, whereby the rod mounting portions 813a can easily conform to the outer surface of the rods 82. Thus, the rods 82 can be more surely fixed by welding to the rod mounting portions 813a.
As shown in
The exhaust system 1 has its front portion fixed to the exhaust portion 21 of the engine 20 via the flange 71, and has its rear portion fixed to the exhaust muffler mounting portion 24 provided to the transmission 22 via the exhaust muffler mounting apparatus 8. Further, the transmission 22 is fixed to the engine 20 so as not to be relatively displaced. That is, since the exhaust system 1 including the front portion and the rear portion is fixed to the identical vibration system, it is not necessary to take into consideration of the relative displacement that occurs when the front portion and the rear portion are fixed to separate vibration systems. Thus, the exhaust system 1 is strongly fixed.
Further, since the exhaust muffler 2 is held by the rubber dampers 242a as being inserted in the front-rear direction via the rods 82, thermal elongation of the exhaust system 1 in the front-rear direction, dimensional variations in the front-rear direction of each component of the exhaust system 1, or assembly variations of each component are absorbed in an excellent manner.

Next, a description will be given of the flow of exhaust gas in the exhaust system 1. Firstly, as indicated by arrow A in
Next, as indicated by arrow C in
Next, as indicated by arrow D in
Further, around the first expansion chamber 37, the sound absorption chamber 42 where the sound absorbing material 43 is arranged is provided via the inner sleeve 32. Therefore, the exhaust noises emitted from the first expansion chamber 37 are prevented from passing through the sleeve portion 30 and emitted to the outside of the exhaust muffler 2.
Next, as indicated by arrow E in
Next, as indicated by arrow F in
Note that, since the opening area S1 (see
Next, as indicated by arrow G in
Since the spark arrester body portion 51 is arranged in the exit communication pipe 41 being separated from the first and second expansion chambers 37 and 38, the back pressure with an exhaust pulse in the first and second expansion chambers 37 and 38 will not act on the spark arrester body portion 51. Further, since the back pressure is effectively reduced by the opening 412a of the lid member 412, the back pressure acting on the spark arrester body portion 51 is sufficiently reduced.
Note that, in the exit communication pipe 41, the passage area of the exhaust flow path formed around the spark arrester body portion 51, that is, the difference between the cross-sectional area S3 (see
Finally, as indicated by arrow H in
(1) The inner sleeve 32 can be held so as to be slidable in the length direction of the inner sleeve 32 between the upstream side cover 33 and the downstream side cover 34 in the outer sleeve 31, without the necessity of providing an extra member. Thus, provision of an extra member for absorbing the difference between the inner sleeve 32 and the outer sleeve 31 in the thermal expansion amount can be avoided, whereby productivity of the exhaust muffler 2 can be improved.
(2) The bent portion 321 radially bent inward is allowed to abut on the entrance portion of the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a. This allows one end portion of the inner sleeve 32 to be guided to the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a to be fitted thereto. Thus, for example, when the upstream side cover 33 is fixed by welding to the outer sleeve 31 and the inner sleeve 32 is assembled from the downstream side of the outer sleeve 31, the inner sleeve 32 can be fitted to the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a at the bottom while the tip portion (one end portion) of the inner sleeve 32 is guided by the bent portion 321. That is, the inner sleeve 32 can be easily fitted to the upstream side inner sleeve holding portion 333a at the bottom that is not easily visually recognized from the outside. Thus, productivity of the exhaust muffler 2 can further be improved.
(3) The upstream side cover 33 and the downstream side cover 34 are structured by members of a substantially identical shape. Thus, a common tooling for forming the upstream side cover 33 and the downstream side cover 34 can be partially used, whereby productivity of the exhaust muffler 3 can be improved.
According to the second embodiment, the inner sleeve holding portion is divided into a plurality of pieces to be arranged in the circumferential direction, whereby the number of places where the inner sleeve holding portion is provided in a concave manner in each of the upstream side cover 330 and the downstream side cover 340 can be reduced. As a result, as compared with the case where the inner sleeve holding portion is provided over the entire circumference, the inner volume of the second expansion chamber 380 between the upstream side cover 330 and the upstream side separator 35, and the inner volume of the third expansion chamber 390 between the downstream side separator 36 and the downstream side cover 340 can be increased. Thus, the inner volume of the exhaust muffler 200 can be increased, whereby sound deadening performance can be improved.
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be employed in the range not departing from the claims.
