Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Schalldämpfer für eine Abgasanlage einer Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere in einem Kraftfahrzeug, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a silencer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, having the features of the preamble of
Um bei Abgasanlagen vergleichsweise tiefe Frequenzen effektiv dämpfen zu können, ist es bekannt, in einem Schalldämpfer einen Helmholtz-Resonator auszubilden, der eine Resonatorkammer aufweist, die über einen Hals schallübertragend mit einer Abgasleitungsanordnung des Schalldämpfers gekoppelt ist. Für die schallübertragende Kopplung des Resonatorhalses mit der Abgasleitungsanordnung ist es grundsätzlich möglich, den Resonatorhals an einer geeigneten Stelle von der Abgasleitungsanordnung abzuzweigen. Derartige Abzweigstellen sind in vielfacher Sicht nachteilig. Zum einen können an der Abzweigstelle bei höheren Volumenströmen zusätzliche Geräusche entstehen. Des Weiteren sind Abzweigungen vergleichsweise teuer in ihrer Herstellung. Bei mehrflutigen Abgasanlagen kann das Resonatorvolumen nicht mehr über eine einzige Abzweigung an die Abgasleitungsanordnung angeschlossen werden. An der Abzweigung können vergleichsweise große Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten auftreten; ebenso kann es zu relativ hohen Temperaturschwankungen an der Abzweigung kommen.In order to be able to effectively dampen comparatively low frequencies in exhaust systems, it is known to form a Helmholtz resonator in a silencer, which has a resonator chamber which is coupled in a sound-transmitting manner via a neck to an exhaust line arrangement of the silencer. For the sound-transmitting coupling of the resonator neck to the exhaust-gas line arrangement, it is basically possible to branch off the resonator neck at a suitable point from the exhaust-gas line arrangement. Such branch points are disadvantageous in many ways. On the one hand, additional noise may occur at the branch point at higher volume flows. Furthermore, branches are comparatively expensive to produce. In mehrflutigen exhaust systems, the resonator volume can not be connected via a single branch to the exhaust pipe arrangement. At the junction comparatively large flow velocities can occur; so can it come to relatively high temperature fluctuations at the junction.
Alternativ ist es grundsätzlich möglich, den Resonatorhals mit einer Expansionskammer zu koppeln, in welcher die Abgasleitungsanordnung eine Unterbrechung aufweist. Jedoch besitzt auch eine derartige Anordnung vielfältige Nachteile. Auch hier können sich z.B. bei großen Volumenströmen Geräusche entwickeln. Zusätzlich besitzt eine derartige Anordnung einen vergleichsweise hohen Druckverlust.Alternatively, it is basically possible to couple the resonator neck with an expansion chamber in which the exhaust pipe arrangement has an interruption. However, such an arrangement has many disadvantages. Here too, e.g. develop noises at high volume flows. In addition, such an arrangement has a comparatively high pressure loss.
Aus der
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für einen Schalldämpfer der eingangs genannten Art eine verbesserte Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere für leistungsstarke Brennkraftmaschinen eignet, die sich durch vergleichsweise hohe Volumenströme charakterisieren. Ferner ist eine Lösung angestrebt, die einen vergleichsweise niedrigen Gegendruckanstieg aufweist. Außerdem ist eine kostengünstige Fertigung erwünscht.The present invention is concerned with the problem of providing a muffler of the type mentioned an improved embodiment, in particular suitable for high-performance internal combustion engines, which are characterized by comparatively high volume flows. Furthermore, a solution is sought, which has a relatively low backpressure increase. In addition, a cost-effective production is desired.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, die Abgasleitungsanordnung über eine Perforation schallübertragend mit einer Expansionskammer zu koppeln, während der Resonatorhals besagte Expansionskammer mit der Resonatorkammer des Helmholtzresonators verbindet. Durch diese Bauweise ergeben sich in der Expansionskammer sehr geringe Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten, was Druckverluste bei der Durchströmung des Schalldämpfers signifikant reduziert. Der Schalldämpfer eignet sich dadurch insbesondere für relativ hohe Volumenströme bei gleichzeitig niedrigen Druckverlusten. Ferner eignet sich der Schalldämpfer dadurch in besonderer Weise für leistungsstarke Brennkraftmaschinen beziehungsweise für großvolumige Brennkraftmaschinen. Innerhalb der Expansionskammer können außerdem Temperaturschwankungen reduziert werden, was sich insbesondere für die Dauerfestigkeit des Schalldämpfers positiv auswirkt.The invention is based on the general idea of sound transmitting the exhaust pipe arrangement via a perforation with an expansion chamber, while the resonator neck connects said expansion chamber with the resonator chamber of the Helmholtz resonator. This construction results in the expansion chamber very low flow velocities, which significantly reduces pressure losses in the flow through the muffler. The muffler is characterized in particular for relatively high volume flows at the same time low pressure losses. Furthermore, the muffler is characterized in a special way for high-performance internal combustion engines or for large-volume internal combustion engines. Within the expansion chamber also temperature fluctuations can be reduced, which in particular has a positive effect on the fatigue strength of the muffler.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Schalldämpfer umfasst die Abgasleitungsanordnung entweder ein Einlassrohr und zumindest zwei Auslassrohre oder ein Auslassrohr und zumindest zwei Einlassrohre, wobei die Einlassrohre und Auslassrohre über wenigstens ein die Perforation aufweisendes Kupplungsstück innerhalb der Expansionskammer miteinander gekoppelt sind.In the muffler according to the invention, the exhaust pipe arrangement comprises either an inlet pipe and at least two Exhaust pipes or an outlet pipe and at least two inlet pipes, wherein the inlet pipes and outlet pipes are coupled to each other via at least one perforation having the coupling piece within the expansion chamber.
Ein weiterer wichtiger Vorteil der erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Bauweise kann darin gesehen werden, dass die Abgasleitungsanordnung durch das gesamte Gehäuse des Schalldämpfers oder zumindest durch die Expansionskammer unterbrechungsfrei hindurchgeführt werden kann, was die Abstützung der einzelnen Bestandteile der Abgasleitungsanordnung innerhalb des Gehäuses, beispielsweise mittels entsprechender Zwischenwände, extrem vereinfacht.Another important advantage of the proposed construction according to the invention can be seen in the fact that the exhaust pipe assembly can be passed through the entire housing of the muffler or at least through the expansion chamber without interruption, which is the support of the individual components of the exhaust pipe assembly within the housing, for example by means of corresponding partitions, extremely simplified.
Sofern die Abgasleitungsanordnung mehrere Abgasrohre aufweist, von denen zumindest zwei innerhalb der Expansionskammer jeweils eine Perforation aufweisen, lassen sich hier unterschiedliche Dämpfungscharakteristika erzielen, indem die jeweilige Perforation entsprechend adaptiert wird. Beispielsweise können sich die Perforationen hinsichtlich Lochzahl und Lochquerschnitt voneinander unterscheiden. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn die wenigstens zwei Abgasrohre in Abhängigkeit von Last und/oder Drehzahl der Brennkraftmaschine unterschiedlich von Abgas durchströmt werden. Beispielsweise wird eines der Abgasrohre erst bei größeren Abgasvolumenströmen aktiviert. Auf diese Weise kann vergleichsweise einfach eine unterschiedliche Dämpfungscharakteristik in Abhängigkeit des Abgasvolumenstroms realisiert werden.If the exhaust pipe arrangement has a plurality of exhaust pipes, at least two of which each have a perforation within the expansion chamber, different damping characteristics can be achieved here by adapting the respective perforations accordingly. For example, the perforations may differ from each other in terms of number of holes and hole cross-section. This is particularly advantageous when the at least two exhaust pipes are traversed differently by exhaust gas as a function of load and / or speed of the internal combustion engine. For example, one of the exhaust pipes is activated only at larger exhaust gas flow rates. In this way, a different damping characteristic as a function of the exhaust gas volume flow can be realized comparatively easily.
Weitere wichtige Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, aus den Zeichnungen und aus der zugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung anhand der Zeichnungen.Other important features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, from the drawings and from the associated figure description with reference to the drawings.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen.It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und werden in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert, wobei sich gleiche Bezugszeichen auf gleiche oder ähnliche oder funktional gleiche Bauteile beziehen.Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail in the following description, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar or functionally identical components.

Entsprechend den
Der Schalldämpfer 1 ist zum Einbau in eine hier nicht gezeigte Abgasanlage einer Brennkraftmaschine vorgesehen, die insbesondere in einem Kraftfahrzeug angeordnet sein kann.The
Beim Schalldämpfer 1 bildet die Resonatorkammer 4 das Resonanzvolumen eines Helmholtzresonators 9, dessen Resonatorhals durch das Verbindungsrohr 6 gebildet ist. Das Verbindungsrohr 6 ist im Gehäuse 2 so angeordnet, dass es die Resonatorkammer 4 mit der Expansionskammer 3 kommunizierend verbindet.In the case of the
Die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 ist durch das Gehäuse 2 hindurchgeführt, besitzt somit zwei Enden 10 und 11, von denen das eine - je nach Durchströmungsrichtung der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 - einen Abgaseinlass bildet, während das andere dann einen Abgasauslass bildet. Zwischen den Enden 10, 11 verläuft die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 im Inneren des Gehäuses 2. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, dass die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 zumindest durch die Expansionskammer 3 unterbrechungsfrei hindurchgeführt ist. In den gezeigten Beispielen ist die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 durch das ganze Gehäuse 2 unterbrechungsfrei hindurch geführt. Das bedeutet insbesondere, dass die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 zwischen ihren Enden 10, 11 an jeder Stelle eine mehr oder weniger effektive Strömungsführung gewährleistet. Die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 ist durch die Expansionskammer 3 hindurchgeführt und weist innerhalb der Expansionskammer 3 eine Perforation 12 auf, die insbesondere durch eine Vielzahl von Löchern 13 gebildet ist, die eine strömungsführende Wand der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 durchbrechen. Die Perforation 12 schafft somit eine schallübertragende Verbindung zwischen einem Inneren 14 der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 und der Expansionskammer 3. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, das eine derartige Perforation 12 die Durchströmung der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 nur vergleichsweise geringfügig beeinträchtigt. Insbesondere ergibt sich aufgrund der Perforation 12 nur ein vergleichsweise geringer Druckanstieg. Ferner führt die Perforation 12 auch bei vergleichsweise hohen Massenströmen zu keiner signifikanten zusätzlichen Geräuschbildung innerhalb des Schalldämpfers 1. Im Betrieb kann nun der vom Helmholtzresonator 9 zu bedämpfende Schall in die Expansionskammer 3 eintreten und den damit über das Verbindungsrohr 6 gekoppelte Helmholtzresonator 9 aktivieren. Hierdurch lassen sich insbesondere tieffrequente Störgeräusche einer bestimmten Störfrequenz beziehungsweise eines bestimmten Störfrequenzbandes effektiv bedämpfen.The
Zusätzlich kann die Absorptionskammer 7 eine gewisse Dämpfungswirkung, insbesondere für hochfrequente Störgeräusche, bewirken. Die Absorptionskammer 7 kann dabei vorzugsweise über eine weitere Perforation 15, die hier nicht erkennbar ist, schallübertragend mit der Expansionskammer 3 gekoppelt sein. Diese Perforation 15 kann z.B. in einer Zwischenwand 16 vorgesehen sein, welche die Expansionskammer 3 von der Absorptionskammer 7 trennt. Grundsätzlich ist es ebenso möglich, die Absorptionskammer 7 schallübertragend mit der Resonatorkammer 4 oder mit der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 oder mit dem Verbindungsrohr 6 zu koppeln, beispielsweise durch eine entsprechende Perforation, die z.B. in eine die Absorptionskammer 7 von der Resonatorkammer 4 trennende Zwischenwand 17 oder in einem innerhalb der Absorptionskammer 7 verlaufenden Abschnitt des Verbindungsrohrs 6 oder in einem innerhalb der Absorptionskammer 7 verlaufenden Abschnitt der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 ausgebildet sein kann.In addition, the
Bei den hier gezeigten Ausführungsformen ist die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 durch die Resonatorkammer 4 hindurchgeführt. Ebenso ist die Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 bei diesen Ausführungsformen durch die Absorptionskammer 7 hindurchgeführt. Ferner sind die Expansionskammer 3 und die Resonatorkammer 4 sowie hier die Absorptionskammer 7 bezüglich einer Längsrichtung der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5 axial hintereinander angeordnet, wobei die Absorptionskammer 7 - soweit vorhanden - axial zwischen der Expansionskammer 3 und der Resonatorkammer 4 angeordnet ist.In the embodiments shown here, the

Bei beiden Ausführungsformen ist das Kopplungsstück 20 jeweils innerhalb der Expansionskammer 3 angeordnet. Außerdem ist bevorzugt das Kopplungsstück 20 mit der Perforation 12 ausgestattet.

Zumindest eine dieser Schalen kann dann mit der Perforation 12 versehen sein.In both embodiments, the
Die Zwischenwände 16 und 17 dienen zur Trennung der einzelnen Kammern 3, 4, 7 voneinander und bilden gleichzeitig eine Aussteifung des Gehäuses 2. Ferner dienen die Zwischenwände 16, 17 zur Halterung der Rohre des Schalldämpfers 1, also des Verbindungsrohrs 6 sowie der Rohre oder Leitungen 18, 19, 21, 22 der Abgasleitungsanordnung 5.The
Bei den hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen weist der jeweilige Schalldämpfer 1 jeweils nur einen einzigen Helmholtzresonator 9 auf. Bei anderen Ausführungsformen können auch zwei oder mehr Helmholtzresonatoren 9 vorgesehen sein, die parallel und/oder in Reihe wirksam geschaltet und insbesondere hinsichtlich unterschiedlicher Frequenzen abgestimmt sein können.In the embodiments shown here, the
