Definitions

  • the invention relates to an annular diffuser for recycling carburetted gases, for an internal combustion engine, and relates more particularly, although not exclusively, to such an annular diffuser for an air supply device, which can be partially carburetted, an internal combustion engine powered by injection, as used in particular in the automotive field.
  • the annular diffuser of the invention is intended to recycle into the air stream sucked in by the engine, for burning in the latter, carburetted gases such as exhaust gases containing unburnt hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon vapors or loaded with hydrocarbons, collected in a canister and coming from the purge of the latter, or even vapors loaded with polluting combustible products such as oil pan purge vapors.
  • Devices for reinjecting carburetted vapors are already known downstream of a body with an adjustable air intake flap, called a throttle body, supplying an internal combustion engine with air via an intake manifold on which the throttle body is mounted.
  • These known devices generally comprise at least one auxiliary injection tube, inserted radially at the junction between the outlet of the throttle body, and the inlet of the intake manifold.
  • This injection tube opens out substantially at the level of the central axis of symmetry of the outlet of the throttle body.
  • the downstream end of this tube is bent parallel to the axis of the outlet of the throttle body and in the upstream direction, that is to say in the direction opposite to the direction of circulation of the air drawn in by the engine.
  • a disadvantage of this type of device lies in a significant pressure drop created by the master torque of the auxiliary injection tube. Turbulence can be added to it, which further increases the resulting pressure drop.
  • the auxiliary tube is brought to a high temperature, and there may be a problem of thermal compatibility with parts contiguous to the re-injection device, such as the intake manifold or the butterfly body, in particular if one of them is made of a synthetic material, for example thermoplastic. Means must then be provided for cooling the auxiliary injection tube and / or thermally insulating the other parts in contact with the latter.
  • reinjection devices of annular structure having, on their internal periphery, an injection point, or several injection points generally equally spaced in circumferential direction, for example two diametrically opposite injection points , on an intermediate part arranged between the downstream part of the throttle body and the upstream part of the intake manifold.
  • the main drawback of this type of device lies in the fact that the gas mixture stream, at the inlet of the manifold, is not uniformly distributed over the periphery of this inlet, and may lack homogeneity, hence this results in an unbalanced supply of the different cylinders of the engine.
  • an intake circuit for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine working with recycling of exhaust gases and in particular for an injection engine with an air compressor, said circuit being equipped with an air ducting casing which comprises an intermediate wall forming a partition and which constitutes, on one side, a wall limiting the purified air chamber, and, on the other side, parts of wall which respectively limit a channel of mixing chamber and a distribution chamber adjacent to this channel, this chamber being connected to the mixing channel by passages formed in the wall of the mixing channel and having connection points for intake tubes of the internal combustion engine, and a adjustable air intake flap being arranged in the wall part which limits the mixing channel, in the middle of the intermediate wall, the intake of exhaust gases being provided downstream of the air intake flap, concentrically with this flap, and the passages formed in the wall of the mixing channel being curved in a semicircle and arranged symmetrically with respect to the position of the air intake flap.
  • the part of the intermediate wall which limits the mixing channel and which is of substantially planar shape, takes, in the region of the adjustable air intake flap, the form of a tube constituting the articulation range of the adjustable flap .
  • This tubing forms, in combination with a covering element fixed to the intermediate wall, an annular exhaust gas channel connected to the exhaust gas pipe, and the tubing is surrounded by the covering element so that an annular slot for the passage of exhaust gases is formed at the end on the outlet side of the tube.
  • Such an intake circuit incorporates an annular diffuser for recycling exhaust gases, which comprises an annular channel, supplied with exhaust gas to be recycled, and formed between two members delimiting between them an annular slot for the passage of exhaust gases. exhaust to be recycled, this slot being substantially coaxial at the outlet of the tubing, acting as a throttle body, and the slot opening downstream of the annular channel and the outlet of the tubing, in order to diffuse the exhaust gases to recycle in the air stream leaving this tubing.
  • the annular diffuser thus obtained is not compatible with the throttle bodies and the intake manifolds which are usually used in the vast majority of systems for supplying fuel by injection of an internal combustion engine.
  • the annular diffuser that includes the intake circuit of FR-A-2 582 353 cannot therefore be retrofitted on known engines.
  • the throttle body is of a particular type, for example with a motorized throttle valve, and / or the intake manifold is also of a particular type, for example adjustable for adjusting the acoustic impedance of the engine.
  • the problem underlying the invention is to keep the advantages provided by an annular diffuser for recycling carburetted gases such as that contained in the intake circuit according to the aforementioned document, while remedying at least one of the disadvantages presented above.
  • An object of the invention is therefore to propose an annular diffuser of simple, economical structure, ensuring good homogeneity of the gas mixture at the inlet of the manifold without creating a significant pressure drop, and which can be retrofitted on engines. known and / or in combination with most types of throttle body and intake manifold, on new generation engines.
  • the annular recycling diffuser for carburetted gases for internal combustion engine supplied with air by an intake manifold on which a throttle body is mounted, and of the type known by FR-A-2 582 353, comprising an annular channel, supplied with gas to be recycled, and formed between two members delimiting between them an annular slot for the passage of the gases to be recycled, said slot being substantially coaxial with the outlet of said throttle body and opening downstream of the annular channel and said outlet of the throttle body, so to diffuse the gases to be recycled in the air stream leaving said throttle body, is characterized in that the members are two spacers arranged between the outlet of the throttle body and the inlet of the manifold, and substantially coaxial around the axis of symmetry common to said outlet and inlet, at least one inlet for supplying the annular channel with gas to be recycled being formed at least partially in at least one of the spacers, one of which is a spacer e upstream, adjacent to the outlet of the throttle body, and comprising a tubular and substantially
  • annular diffuser according to the invention can be mounted in a joint between the outlet of a throttle body and the inlet of an intake manifold, without significant interference with the structure of these last.
  • the upstream spacer also comprises a substantially radial annular blank, integral of the tubular internal wall of the upstream spacer, so that this annular blank can form the upstream wall (relative to the direction of flow of the air) of the annular channel of recycled gases.
  • the upstream spacer in the form of an insert on the butterfly body, or on the contrary in one piece with this body, and therefore in the same material, metallic or synthetic, as the latter.
  • the annular blank of the upstream spacer is fixed, with the interposition of at least one annular seal, against a substantially radial downstream face of the butterfly body, around the outlet of this body .
  • the upstream spacer is attached to the throttle body or in one piece with the latter, it may, as a variant, also comprise an external peripheral wall, tubular and substantially axial, preferably integral, by its upstream axial end, with the annular blank of the upstream spacer, said external wall of the upstream spacer being fixed, with the interposition of at least one annular seal, against the annular blank of the downstream spacer.
  • downstream spacer which also comprises an external peripheral wall, tubular and substantially axial, integral, preferably by its downstream axial end, with the annular blank of the downstream spacer, and against which the upstream spacer is fixed, preferably by its annular blank, with the interposition of at least one annular seal.
  • the downstream spacer can, similarly, be either in one piece, metallic or made of a synthetic material, with the collector intake, is reported on the latter, in which case it is advantageous that the downstream spacer is fixed, by its annular blank and / or by its external wall, if necessary, and with the interposition of at least one annular seal, against a substantially radial upstream face of the manifold, around the inlet of said intake manifold.
  • the upstream spacer When the upstream spacer is an insert which cooperates with a downstream spacer provided with the external peripheral wall, the upstream spacer can be produced, in a simple and economical manner, by cutting and stamping a piece of sheet metal, in which case it is advantageous that two annular seals, for example made of elastomer and preferably coaxial, each having the shape of a half torus, are each overmolded on one respectively of the faces of the annular blank of the upstream spacer which are turned 1 'one towards the body with adjustable shutter and the other towards the external wall of the downstream spacer. This makes the sealing of the annular channel outwards in good conditions.
  • two annular seals for example made of elastomer and preferably coaxial, each having the shape of a half torus
  • the spacers When the gases to be recycled are at a high temperature, as is the case with the exhaust gases, the spacers must be made of a material compatible with this temperature, that is to say generally of metal or metal alloy. In this case, it is advantageous for the external peripheral wall to have cooling fins projecting outwards from the metal spacer which comprises it.
  • this external peripheral wall is further crossed by at least one substantially radial supply inlet, for example for fuel vapors coming from a canister, and / or at least one substantially tangential supply inlet, for example for exhaust gases, for supplying the annular channel with gas to be recycled.
  • the entire annular diffuser with the throttle body and the intake manifold is made up of four, three or two pieces, it is advantageous that the diffuser is assembled and fixed between the outlet of the body throttle valve and the inlet of the manifold by bolts for fixing said throttle body to an inlet base of said manifold, such bolts being conventionally provided on assembly and fixing lugs for the throttle body on the inlet base of the collector.
  • the dimensional characteristics and the shapes of the trailing edges of the parts of the two spacers which delimit the annular slot are determined so as to disturb at least the flow of air in the inlet channel of the manifold d 'admission.
  • the axial downstream end of the internal tubular wall of the upstream spacer may be shaped as a substantially frustoconical lip converging downstream or at a bevel, inclined from the external radial face towards the internal radial face of said low wall, to delimit a slot, preferably axial, of section substantially convergent downstream, the differences in radius and / or the axial distances between the internal edges of the spacers which delimit the annular slot, and, where appropriate, the angle of inclination of the frustoconical lip being chosen to optimize the depression of the call by avoiding the formation of noise.

  • An annular diffuser 8 is mounted as a joint between the outlet flange 3 of the body 1 and the manifold inlet 7 of the manifold 5, for diffusing, into the air stream drawn from the outlet 2 of the body 1 at the inlet 6 of the manifold 5 for supplying the engine with recycled fuel gases such as exhaust gases and hydrocarbon vapors.

  • the downstream axial end of the tubular wall 12 is shaped as a frustoconical lip 14 converging downstream with an angle of inclination ⁇ , and the aim of which is to locally increase the motor depression, thanks to the turbulence generated downstream of this lip 14 thus oriented towards the axis of symmetry XX.

  • the channel 19 is supplied with carburetted gases to be recycled by at least one inlet conduit 21 passing through the external peripheral wall 16 in a substantially radial direction, but which can also be substantially tangential with respect to to the annular channel 19.
  • the annular slot 20 is delimited between the internal radial edge of the annular blank 15 of the spacer 10, downstream, and, upstream, the lip 14 of the tubular wall 12, the internal radial face of which delimits a cylindrical conduit which coaxially extends the outlet 2 of the body 1, while its outer radial face forms the inner radial wall of the annular channel 19.
  • the adjustment of the flow section of the slot 20 is done by the choice of the distance between the trailing edge downstream of the lip 14 and the edge closest to the annular blank 15 of the spacer 9.
