Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing for an exhaust gas purification component that includes an interior.
  • Such housings with exhaust gas purification components find particular use in the exhaust gas treatment of mobile internal combustion engines.
  • housings are, as far as possible, relatively thick-walled, in order to enable the housing to be welded to the exhaust gas line.
  • housings which have a rectangular angled housing portion in the manner of a collar, which is positioned between two exhaust pipe sections and connected by joining technology. The known approaches have proven themselves many times, but can not be used in special applications.
  • the integration or attachment of the housing in an exhaust pipe is particularly problematic when the housing is made relatively thin-walled. This is true, for example, for housings having a case thickness of at most 1.5 mm or even less than 0.8 mm. With such thin-walled housings can be produced virtually no simple welded joints that permanently withstand the aggressive environmental conditions in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle. The high thermal and dynamic loads occurring there would result in the short-term failure of the simple welded joints between the housing and the exhaust pipe.
  • the housing according to the invention for an exhaust gas purification component which includes an interior, is essentially characterized in that at least one receptacle is formed with the housing outside.
  • the fact that the receptacle is formed with the housing itself means, in particular, that the receptacle is integrally connected to the housing or forms part of the housing itself (for example also of the same material).
  • the shape of the example tube-like housing has been changed so that the recording is formed.
  • a receptacle extending essentially around the outside of the housing is formed.
  • the receptacle can be formed by means of an outer circumferential part of the housing, but it is also possible for a plurality of housing sections (for example in the form of a multi-slotted collar) to form the receptacle.
  • the at least one receptacle is provided near an end face of the housing.
  • a housing with a receptacle on only one side is preferred.
  • the embodiment variant is preferred in which the at least one receptacle is formed with a part of the housing, which is spaced parallel to another area of the housing.
  • the part of the housing and the region of the housing are aligned substantially coaxially with each other. This can be done for example by forming or bending over part of the housing near the end face. In this case, the part of the housing is bent so far that it is arranged approximately parallel to the exhaust gas purification component receiving area.
  • the housing has a housing thickness in the range of 0.4 to 1.0 mm and the receptacle is formed by bending over part of the housing, wherein a bending radius in Range of 3 to 8 mm and the recording has a length of at least 7 mm.
  • the housing thickness can be carried out in particular with a housing thickness less than 0.6 mm.
  • the bending radius is then preferably in the range of 5 mm.
  • a stable contact of the housing is to be mounted on the exhaust pipe section during assembly ensured.
  • an exhaust system comprising at least a first exhaust pipe section and a housing according to the invention described with an exhaust gas purifying component
  • the first exhaust pipe section is engaged with the receptacle and the first exhaust pipe section and the receptacle are connected to each other cohesively.
  • the first exhaust-gas conduit section is positioned within the receptacle and outside the interior of the housing, wherein an engagement encompassing the housing is formed approximately.
  • at least part of the exhaust pipe section extends into the receptacle, so that its end is in particular encompassed by the housing.
  • At least one second exhaust-gas line section is positioned on the side of the receptacle opposite the first exhaust-gas line section and connected in a material-locking manner to the receptacle. This results in a sandwich-like arrangement of the exhaust pipe sections with intermediate part of the housing. In this way, the possibility is created in particular to provide a sufficient material thickness in the area of the cohesive connection and at the same time to provide a very space-saving arrangement for joining technology.
  • the exhaust system is then good to weld, if a material thickness of at least 2.5 mm is provided in the region of the cohesive connection by means of the at least one exhaust pipe section and the receiving part of the housing. Particularly preferably, a material thickness of at least 3 mm to 3.5 mm is proposed. It can be assumed in terms of the parts to be joined together of a housing thickness in the range of 0.4 to 0.6 mm and a line thickness of the exhaust pipe sections in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 mm, which is of course not mandatory.
  • an exhaust system in which the cohesive connection is realized by means of a continuous weld.
  • the weld surrounds in particular the circumference of the housing, which may optionally be designed to overlap.
  • a motor vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine and an exhaust system of the type described herein according to the invention, in which an exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine can flow in a flow direction through the exhaust system, wherein the housing has the receptacle on a front side and is positioned so that the end face with the receptacle forms the inlet end face for the exhaust gas.
  • the exhaust gas initially impinges on the front side or inlet end side of the housing or the exhaust gas purification component, on which the receptacle is formed. Due to the rear configuration of the receptacle, a protected position for the weld is given.
  • the housing is pressed onto the first exhaust pipe section by the inflow of the exhaust gas, so that a secure bond between the exhaust system and the housing is ensured here even under particularly high loads.
  • the housing is held in the region of an outlet end face with a distance to the at least one exhaust pipe section, wherein fixing means are provided in this distance.
  • fixing means serve, in particular, for aligning this housing region with the exhaust gas line, with relative movements possibly being made possible in order to allow a different thermal expansion behavior of the housing and exhaust gas line section essentially without tension.
  • the fixing means which are embodied, for example, in the manner of a wire mesh or the like, can fulfill further functions, so that they can optionally comprise means for sealing and / or catalytic conversion of the exhaust gas.
  • the welding joining of the exhaust pipe sections with the receptacle may include the following production steps: positioning of the parts to be joined in an adequate arrangement and welding with an arc welding process with or without additional material.
  • resistance spot welding or seam welding can also be advantageously used. This is a very low heat input to avoid thermal expansion can be realized.
  • the joining of the second exhaust pipe section is preferably carried out by a fusion welding process, wherein optionally also a third Exhaust line section can be drawn with. It is preferred here that the relatively thin housing between the relatively thick-walled first and third exhaust pipe section is arranged, and is melted locally during welding.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically and in a partial cross section a housing 1 with a housing thickness 4 in the range of 0.5 mm.
  • an exhaust gas purification component 2 is indicated in the interior 3 of the housing 1.
  • the housing 1 has now near a front side 5 outside a circumferentially formed receptacle 4.
  • This receptacle 4 has been produced by bending over part of the housing 1. In this case, a bending radius 7 in the range of 5 mm was realized.
  • the rearwardly bent part of the housing 1, which is executed substantially parallel to the region of the housing 1, which forms the inner space 3, has a length of 7 to 10 mm.
  • a first exhaust pipe section 10 is now arranged, wherein this is brought to the outer part of the receptacle 4 forming housing 1 to the plant.
  • this contact region which is preferably formed circumferentially around the housing 1, now the cohesive connection 12th intended.
  • a corresponding material thickness 13 is provided.
  • FIG. 2 A further embodiment variant for such an exhaust system 9 is illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the housing 1 can be seen in the partial cross-section, which accommodates an exhaust gas purification component 2 in the interior.
  • the exhaust gas purification component 2 is constructed, for example, in the manner of a honeycomb body from a plurality of metal foils 23 which form passages 22 through which exhaust gas can flow in a flow direction 16.
  • the housing 1 or the exhaust gas purification component 2 now has, after orientation in the exhaust system 9 with respect to the flow direction 16, a defined inlet end face 17 and an outlet end side 18.
  • the receptacle 4 is formed. Also in this embodiment, the first exhaust pipe section 10 is engaged with this receptacle 4. In addition, further components of the exhaust pipe are positioned further out, outside the receptacle 4. Thus, first, a third exhaust pipe section 21 (for example, with a line thickness of about 0.5 mm) outside of the receptacle 4 brought to bear. This third exhaust pipe section 21 may, for example, accommodate further exhaust gas purification components and / or allow a directed inflow of the exhaust gas into the exhaust gas purification component 2.
  • the outer end forms in this embodiment now a second exhaust pipe section 11, so that the first exhaust pipe section 10 and the second exhaust pipe section 11 in the manner of a sandwich the third exhaust pipe section 21 and the receptacle 4 of the housing 1 record.
  • a material thickness in the region of the fluid connection 12 which is for example above 3 mm and which ensure a permanent weld. This applies in particular with regard to the thin-walled or weight-reduced housing of the exhaust gas purification component used here.
  • the welded connection which is also referred to as so-called "tube canning", is advantageous especially in these thin-walled housings.
  • FIG. 3 can be used. Shown is a motor vehicle 14 with an internal combustion engine 15. The exhaust gas generated in the internal combustion engine 15 flows in a flow direction 16 through the exhaust system 9, being supplied to various exhaust gas purification components (such as catalysts, filters, absorbers and the like). Shown is also the position of a fluid connection 12 with respect to a first exhaust pipe section 10 and a second exhaust pipe section 11, wherein in this fuel-liquid connection 12, as explained above, at the same time the housing 1 is fixed.
  • various exhaust gas purification components such as catalysts, filters, absorbers and the like.
