Field of the Invention The metal gasket according to the present invention is combined with each other so as to be incorporated into, for example, an exhaust system of a driving engine of an automobile to constitute the exhaust system. In order to maintain airtightness between the mating surfaces of the pair of members, the member is used while being held between the mating surfaces. 2. Description of the Related Art Exhaust gas discharged from a cylinder head of an engine is discharged into the atmosphere through an exhaust system provided with an exhaust purifier and a silencer on the way. Since such an exhaust system is configured by connecting a plurality of members including the exhaust purifier and the muffler in series with each other in the exhaust gas flow direction, it is necessary to maintain the airtightness of the connection. In addition, the structure for maintaining the airtightness needs to have sufficient heat resistance in consideration of circulation of high-temperature exhaust gas. Further, the connection work is often performed in a limited space below the floor of the automobile, and the mating surface on which the airtight holding member is assembled is often inclined or downward. Even when the connecting portion is directed upward, in the case of a flow operation or the like, it may move during assembly, and the vibration at that time may cause the airtight holding member to move. In consideration of these matters, a metal gasket made of a metal plate is conventionally assembled to the connection portion, and a structure for preventing the metal gasket from falling off during the connection work has been employed. FIGS. 6 and 7 show an example of such a conventional structure.
2 shows a structure described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-68249. This conventional structure relates to a portion connecting an upstream end portion of an exhaust manifold 1 as shown in FIG. 6 to a side surface of a cylinder block (not shown) of an engine. The exhaust manifold 1 is provided at a downstream end of a plurality of (four in the illustrated example) branch pipes 2, 2 provided in accordance with the number of exhaust ports opened on the side surfaces of the cylinder block, and one confluence pipe section. 3 is provided. An upstream end flange 4 is provided at an upstream end of each of the branch pipe sections 2, and a downstream end flange 5 is provided at a downstream end of the merging pipe section 3. Of these, the upstream end flanges 4, 4 are shown in FIG.
Is connected to the side surface of the cylinder block through a metal gasket 6 as shown in FIG. 1, and the upstream end of an exhaust pipe (not shown) is connected to the downstream end flange 5 via a metal gasket (not shown). The metal gasket 6 is formed by forming an elastic metal plate into a rhombus shape in conformity with the shape of the upstream end flange 4, and has a through hole 7 for allowing exhaust gas to pass through the center.
A pair of through holes 8, 8 for inserting studs, which are rod-shaped members, are provided at two positions sandwiching the through hole 7, respectively. Further, a pair of locking pieces 9, 9 are provided on the opposite edge of the metal gasket 6. In a state where such a metal gasket 6 is superimposed on the upstream end flange 4, the peripheral edge of the upstream end flange 4 is suppressed by the pair of locking pieces 9, 9, and is temporarily fixed to the upstream end flange 4. I do. Then, a pair of studs protruding from the side of the cylinder block so as to sandwich the exhaust port are inserted into the through holes 8 and 8 and the through holes 10 and 10 formed in the upstream end flange 4. A nut is screwed into a portion protruding from the upstream end flange 4 at the tip of the stud, and further tightened. By this operation, the side surface of the cylinder block and the upstream end flange 4 are connected via the metal gasket 6. The metal gasket 6 as shown in FIG. 7 can be temporarily fixed to a predetermined portion of the upstream end flange 4 when the exhaust manifold 1 and the cylinder block are joined together. The joining operation can be facilitated. However, the provision of the locking pieces 9, 9 deteriorates the yield of the material and increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, the work of pushing the upstream end flange 4 between the locking pieces 9, 9 is troublesome. However, it is not always possible to sufficiently improve the efficiency of the above-mentioned joining operation. In addition, since the above-mentioned locking pieces 9 and 9 are provided, when the metal gasket 6 as a product is conveyed collectively, it is difficult to overlap and bulky. Care must be taken not to damage the metal gasket 6. For this reason, there is a problem that the efficiency of the transport operation is reduced. Other techniques for temporarily fixing the metal gasket to the mounting portion include Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication Nos. 4-88505, 4-107574 and 4-1222862-.
No. 5, JP-A-11-94088 is known. Among the prior arts described in these publications, the one described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-88505 has the same problem as the prior art shown in FIG.
Also, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-107574 and 4-12286.
Nos. 2-5 and JP-A-11-94088 require a specially-shaped locating pin, which increases the cost. Since the locking parts for positioning may interfere with the surfaces that abut each other, sealing performance may be insufficient,
There are problems such as the need for countermeasures. The metal gasket of the present invention has been invented in order to eliminate any such inconvenience. A metal gasket according to the present invention has a through hole for allowing a fluid to pass through a central portion of an elastic metal plate, similarly to the above-described conventionally known metal gasket. A pair of through holes for inserting a rod-like member such as a stud or a locating pin is formed at each of two positions sandwiching the through hole. In particular, in the metal gasket of the present invention, a portion of the metal plate closer to the through hole than the center of both through holes is bent in the same direction. The distance between the opposite edges of the two through holes in the free state of the metal plate is smaller than the distance between the opposite side surfaces of the pair of rod members to be inserted into the two through holes. In the metal gasket of the present invention having the above-described structure, the pitch of the pair of through holes is elastically deformed in the direction in which the metal plate is flattened. Substantially matches the pitch. On the other hand, in the free state of the metal plate, the pitch of the pair of through holes is shorter than the pitch of the pair of rod members. Then, after the metal plate is elastically deformed to increase the pitch of the pair of through holes, the rod member is inserted into each of the through holes, and then the force applied to the metal plate is released. The opposite edges of the pair of through holes elastically abut against the opposite side surfaces of the pair of rod members.
As a result, the metal gasket does not accidentally fall off from these two rod-shaped members. In addition, since there is no projecting portion like the locking piece in the conventional structure, a plurality of metal gaskets can be easily overlapped and other metal gaskets are not easily damaged, so that the efficiency of the transfer operation can be improved. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a metal gasket for maintaining airtightness between a flange 12 fixed to an end of an exhaust pipe 11 (including an end of an exhaust manifold, an end of an exhaust purifier, and a silencer) and a mating flange. 6a. The flange 12 has a base end of a pair of studs 13, 13 which are rod-shaped members and are arranged in parallel with each other (FIG. 1).
(Upper end) is fixedly connected. The metal gasket 6a has a through hole 7a for allowing exhaust gas to pass through a central portion of an elastic metal plate such as a stainless steel spring plate or the like, and a pair of studs 1 at two positions sandwiching the through hole 7a.
A pair of through holes 8a, 8a for inserting the third and third holes 13 are formed, respectively. The two through holes 8a, 8a are formed by a part of the metal plate.
Is bent slightly (for example, about 10 to 30 degrees) in the same direction (upward in FIG. 1),
A pair of bent portions 14 are formed. The free state of the metal plate, i.e. the Ryotsuana 8a in the state shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, the distance L 8 between the opposite side edges of 8a, these Ryotsuana 8a, the to be inserted into 8a It is smaller than the distance L13 between the opposite sides of the pair of studs 13, 13 (L
8 <and L 13) and. However, in a state where the metal plate is elastically deformed and the bent portions 14 are flat, the pitch of the pair of through holes 8a is substantially equal to the pitch of the pair of studs 13. The distance L 8 ′ between the opposite sides of the through holes 8 a, 8 a is longer than the distance L 13 between the opposite sides of the pair of studs 13 (L 8 ′> L 13 ). In this way, the dimensions of each part are regulated. The metal gasket 6a of the present embodiment having the above-described structure is configured such that the bent portions 14, 14 are crushed (or stretched) while the pair of studs 13, 1
Attach between three. In this state, the pitch of the pair of through holes 8a, 8a is
Each stud 1
The holes 3 and 13 can be inserted into the respective through holes 8a and 8a. On the other hand, in the free state of the metal plate, the pitch of the pair of through holes 8a, 8a is
3 is shorter than the pitch. Therefore, the metal plate is elastically deformed in a direction in which the bent portions 14 and 14 become flat to increase the pitch of the pair of through holes 8a and 8a. After inserting the pair of studs 13 and 13, the force applied to the metal plate is released, and the opposite side edges of the pair of through holes 8 a and 8 a are opposite to the side surfaces of the pair of studs 13 and 13. Abuts elastically. As a result, the metal gasket 6a
The studs 13 are locked between them so that they do not accidentally fall off. In addition, the above metal gasket 6
The metal plate for forming a is hardly wasted, and the cost can be reduced by effectively using the material (improving the yield). Furthermore,
In each of the through holes 8a, 8a, the pair of studs 13, 1
3 can be easily inserted, so that the members constituting the exhaust system can be easily connected to each other. Next, FIGS. 2 and 3 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In the case of the metal gasket 6b of this example, a closed annular ridge 15 is formed around the through hole 7a. The ridge 15 has a trapezoidal (or circular) cross-sectional shape, and is elastically compressed by a force in the thickness direction. The metal gasket 6b of the present embodiment having such a ridge 15 elastically compresses the ridge 15 between a pair of surfaces that abut each other, and reduces the surface pressure of the portion over the entire circumference. By increasing the height, the sealing performance can be improved. The configuration and operation of the other parts are the same as in the case of the above-described first example. Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In the case of this example, the bent portions 14a, 14a and the second bent portions 16, 16 are formed at portions of the metal plate constituting the metal gasket 6c, which sandwich the through holes 8a, 8a, respectively. I have. That is, the bent portions 14a, 14a bent in the same direction are formed at the end portions of the through holes 8a, 8a, which are close to each other. On the other hand, each of the second bent portions bent at the same angle in opposite directions to the bent portions 14a, 14a at the end portions of the through holes 8a, 8a on the far side from each other. 16, 16 are formed. Therefore, in the case of the metal gasket 6c of this example,
The portion where each of the through holes 8a, 8a is formed becomes an inclined portion,
It has a shape in which flat portions existing on both sides thereof are continuous.
In the case of the metal gasket 6c having such a shape as well,
The studs 13 and 13 (see FIG. 1) inserted through the pair of through holes can be temporarily temporarily fixed easily. Further, in the case of this example, since the shape is processed into a shape having two bent portions, the shape can be easily adjusted at the time of processing, and the inclination angle of the inclined portion can be adjusted more finely. In addition, since the difference (height) between the flat portions existing on both sides of the inclined portion can also be changed as appropriate, the shape of the structural portion for preventing derailment can be changed according to the condition of the connection portion. Can be fine-tuned. The metal gasket of the present invention can be used not only for a gasket to be incorporated in an exhaust system but also for various other connecting parts as long as it is used for a connecting part which may fall off during an assembling operation. Further, if the metal gasket has a through hole for passing a fluid and a pair of through holes for inserting a rod-shaped member such as a stud, a structure in which another hole is provided in another portion. May also be applicable. Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it is possible to obtain an inexpensive metal gasket in which, for example, the members constituting the exhaust system can be easily joined together.
