【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主に、車両用の排気マフラー端部に装着して、排気効率の向上が図れ、出力ロスを低減でき、しかも、消音性能の向上も図れるように工夫したマフラーカッターに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、排気マフラーの端部に装着されているマフラーカッターにあっては、主に、車両の見栄えを良くするため(ドレスアップのため)に使用されるものが多く提供されている。
また、実開平1−160111号公報に開示されているような排気構造が提案されており、この排気構造は、排気の流れを複数の流れに分割して通す整流部材を、排気通路内の出口直前位置に配置したもので、出力ロスを生じないようにして消音効果を得ようとする手段である。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、車両の見栄えを良くするための一般的なマフラーカッターにあっては、排気マフラーの端部デザインの変更自体が目的であり、車両の排気効率を向上させたり、消音性能を高めるものではないため、一部のマフラーカッターには、排気効率を著しく低下させて、出力ロスを招いてしまうものや、消音性能を低下させてしまうもの等も多く存在していた。
【0004】
また、前述の如き整流部材を設けた排気構造にあっては、整流部材による出力ロスが生じる虞れがあった。すなわち、排ガスは、その接触抵抗によって側壁に沿った渦を生じながら排出される。そのため、中央部分よりもパイプ側壁に近い部分の排気ガスの流速が遅くなる。そこで、前述の排気構造は、その整流部材が一定の長さに形成した複数の通路を束ねたものであるため、整流部材に接触する面積が増大して排ガスの流れが妨げられるようになり、整流部材のパイプやプレートの数が多くなるほど接触抵抗が増大し、多数の小渦が発生して排ガスの流速が遅くなり、排気効率が低下して出力ロスが生じてしまう虞れがあった。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、本発明は前述の如き課題を解消できるようにして、排気効率の向上が図れ、出力ロスを低減でき、消音性能の向上が図れ、外観上の体裁が良くなり、しかも、構成が簡素で、耐久性に優れ、量産に適し、経済的なマフラーカッターを提供できるようにすべく創出されたものである。
【0006】
しかして、請求項1記載のマフラーカッターにあっては、車両の排気マフラー端部に装着されるマフラーカッターに於いて、外観上の体裁が良くなるように構成された外筒Aと、この外筒Aの内表面がわに配される内筒Bと、外筒Aの略中心部に配される中央筒Cとを備え、この中央筒C内に排ガスが直線的に通過する中央流通路P1を設け、中央筒C外表面と内筒B内表面との間、及び内筒B内表面近傍部分に、排ガスが中央流通路P1を囲繞するように通過する外周流通路P2を設け、この外周流通路P2には、同一方向に捩れた状態に形成してなる複数のフィンDを配し、排ガスがフィンDに誘導されて略螺旋状に旋回しながら外周流通路P2内を通過して排出されるように構成し、中央筒Cは、先端がわに行くに従って漸次小径となるテーパー円筒状に形成され、内筒Bは、基筒部B1と先端短筒部B2とで構成され、基筒部B1は、先端がわに行くに従って漸次小径となるテーパー円筒状に形成され、一方、先端短筒部B2は、基筒部B1の先端部分より大径で、且つ基筒部B1の先端に略円環状のリングプレートを介して連設され、しかも、基筒部B1の傾斜状態は、中央筒Cの傾斜状態よりきつく設定されて、中央筒C外表面と内筒B内表面との間隔が、先端がわに行くに従って漸次狭まるように構成する手段を採用した。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図示例に基づいて説明する。
本発明は、主に、車両の排気マフラーの端部に、溶着手段や、鋲着手段や、ボルト、ナットを利用した固着手段や、その他の適宜手段を介して装着されるマフラーカッターで、このマフラーカッターは、その略中心部に中央流通路P1を設け、この中央流通路P1を囲繞するように外周流通路P2を設け、この外周流通路P2には、同一方向(右回り方向、或いは、左回り方向)に捩れた状態に形成してなる複数のフィンDを配して、外周流通路P2内を通過する排ガスがフィンDに誘導されて略螺旋状に旋回するように構成したものである。尚、この中央流通路P1、外周流通路P2、複数のフィンDを備えたマフラーカッターの構成は、排気マフラーの端部に内蔵するように構成したり、或いは、排気マフラーの排気管経路の任意の位置に適数内蔵するように構成したりできるものである。
【0008】
すなわち、排ガスが外周流通路P2内を略螺旋状に旋回しながら通過することにより、遠心力と慣性が作用して、排ガスが、外周流通路P2の外周がわに圧縮されつつ排出されるように構成してある。しかも、中央流通路P1部分の圧力(気圧)を外周流通路P2部分の圧力(気圧)より低いもの(負圧)とすることができ、エンジンから連続して排気マフラー内に送給される後続排ガスを、中央流通路P1内に吸込むように高速度で通過させて、スムーズな排出が期待できるように構成されている。
【0009】
そして、図1乃至図3に示すマフラーカッターは、内筒Bと、この内筒Bに外装される外筒Aと、内筒Bの略中心部に配される中央筒Cと、この中央筒C外表面と内筒B内表面とに固着されて、中央筒Cと内筒Bを連結する複数のフィンDとを備えたもので、中央筒C内が、排ガスが直線的に通過する中央流通路P1となり、中央筒C外表面と内筒B内表面との間、及び内筒B基端寄り内表面近傍部分が、排ガスが略螺旋状に旋回しながら通過する外周流通路P2となるように構成したものである。
【0010】
前記外筒Aは、適宜金属材(例えば、ステンレス)や、適宜強化樹脂材や、適宜複合材等によって略円筒状に形成され、マフラーカッター自体の外観上の体裁が良くなるように構成されたものである。尚、外筒Aは、その外表面に適宜装飾を施すこともできるし、外筒A自体を設けなくても良い。更に、外筒Aは、排気マフラーの排気管路の一部を利用したものであっても良い。
【0011】
また、前記内筒Bは、適宜金属材(例えば、ステンレス)や、適宜強化樹脂材や、適宜複合材等によって形成されると共に、基筒部B1と先端短筒部B2とを備えたもので、基筒部B1は、先端に行くに従って漸次小径となるような略テーパー円筒状に形成され、一方、先端短筒部B2は、基筒部B1の先端部分より大径で、且つ基筒部B1の先端に略円状のリングプレートを介して連設して構成されている。しかも、略テーパー円筒状の基筒部B1の傾斜状態は、後述する略テーパー円筒状の中央筒Cの傾斜状態よりきつく設定されており、外周流通路P2の先端がわに於いて、排ガスの通過面積が小さくなり、排ガスの流速がより速くなるように構成してある。
【0012】
更に、前記中央筒Cは、適宜金属材(例えば、ステンレス)や、適宜強化樹脂材や、適宜複合材等によって形成されると共に、先端に行くに従って漸次小径となるような略テーパー小円筒状に形成され、しかも、内筒Bの略半分程度の長さに形成されると共に、内筒Bの先端がわに配されている。尚、中央筒Cは、その長さを内筒Bと略同じ長さに設定して構成したものでも良い(図4、図5参照)
【0013】
そして、前記フィンDは、適宜金属材(例えば、ステンレス)や、適宜強化樹脂材や、適宜複合材等によって形成されると共に、先端がわに行くに従って漸次巾広となるような略帯板状を呈し、同じ向きに全体的に捩れるように形成されている。しかも、複数(例えば、6枚、或いは8枚、或いは12枚等)のフィンDは、中央筒Cの中心線に対して同一方向に捩れた状態に配されており、排ガスがフィンDに誘導されて略螺旋状に旋回しながら外周流通路P2内をスムーズに通過して排出できるように構成してある。一方、中央流通路P1内を通過する排ガスは、直線的に排出できるように構成されている。
【0014】
ところで、前記外筒Aと内筒B、内筒BとフィンD、及び中央筒CとフィンD夫々は、例えば、溶着手段、鋲着手段、ボルト、ナットを利用した固着手段、接着手段、或いは、その他の手段によって簡単に且つ確実に固着することができるように構成される。
【0015】
尚、マフラーカッターの具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、排気マフラーへの具体的装着手段、外筒Aの具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、内筒Bの具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、基筒部B1の具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、先端短筒部B2の具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、中央筒Cの具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、フィンDの具体的構成、形状、寸法、材質、数、配設位置、捩れ状態、中央流通路P1の具体的構成、形状、寸法、外周流通路P2の具体的構成、形状、寸法等は、図示例のもの等に限定されることなく適宜自由に設定、変更できるものである。
【0016】
本発明のマフラーカッターは、前述の如く構成されており、次にその使用状態について説明すると、先ず、排気マフラーから排ガスがマフラーカッター内に入ると、外周流通路P2内入った排ガスは、複数のフィンDに案内されて略螺旋状に旋回しながら外周流通路P2内を通過する。このとき、排ガスには遠心力と慣性が作用して、外周流通路P2の外周がわ(内筒B内表面がわ)に圧縮されつつ排出される。すると、中央流通路P1部分(中央筒C内)の圧力(気圧)は、外周流通路P2部分の圧力(気圧)より低いもの(負圧)となり、エンジンから連続して排気マフラー内に送給される後続排ガスを、中央流通路P1内(中央筒C内)に強力に吸込むようになる。すなわち、中央流通路P1内(中央筒C内)を排ガスが高速度で通過して排出し、エンジンから連続して排気マフラー内に送給される後続排ガスを、スムーズに排出できるようになる。
【0017】
また、外周流通路P2を通過してマフラーカッター外に排出された排ガスは、遠心力と慣性によって、螺旋状に広がりながら回転して拡散され、この排ガスに囲まれている中心部分の圧力(気圧)が低くなる。すると、中央流通路P1を経てマフラーカッター外に排出された排ガスは、後方にスムーズに排出されるようになる。
【0018】
加えて、外周流通路P2を通過する排ガスは、遠心力で内筒B内表面に沿うように高密度状態で移動して排出される。一方、中央流通路P1を通過する排ガスは、低密度状態で移動して排出される。すると、中央流通路P1を通過して排出される排ガスと、外周流通路P2を通過して排出される排ガスとは、夫々の圧力の差異(或いは、インピーダンスのミスマッチ)等によって、これらが排出部分で共鳴し難くなり、しかも、その音波エネルギーを減衰するようになる。
【0019】
【発明の効果】
従って、請求項1記載のマフラーカッターは、車両の排気マフラー端部に装着されるマフラーカッターに於いて、外観上の体裁が良くなるように構成された外筒Aと、この外筒Aの内表面がわに配される内筒Bと、外筒Aの略中心部に配される中央筒Cとを備え、この中央筒C内に排ガスが直線的に通過する中央流通路P1を設け、中央筒C外表面と内筒B内表面との間、及び内筒B内表面近傍部分に、排ガスが中央流通路P1を囲繞するように通過する外周流通路P2を設け、この外周流通路P2には、同一方向に捩れた状態に形成してなる複数のフィンDを配し、排ガスがフィンDに誘導されて略螺旋状に旋回しながら外周流通路P2内を通過して排出されるように構成したので、外周流通路P2を通過する排ガスは、略螺旋状に旋回しながら排出されるため、遠心力が作用し、内筒B内表面がわに圧縮されつつ排出されることとなる。すると、中央流通路P1部分の圧力が外周流通路P2部分の圧力より低いものとなり、エンジンから連続して排気マフラー内に送給される後続排ガスを、中央流通路P1によって高速度に且つスムーズに排出でき、排気効率の向上が図れるようになると共に、エンジンの出力ロスを低減できるようになる。
更に、外周流通路P2を通過して排出された排ガスは、遠心力と慣性によって、螺旋状に広がりながら回転して拡散されるようになり、これにより囲まれている中心部分の圧力が低くなって、中央流通路P1を経て排出された排ガスを、後方にスムーズに排出できるようになり、より排気効率の向上が図れるようになると共に、エンジンの出力ロスをより低減できるようになる。
加えて、外周流通路P2を通過する排ガスは、遠心力で内筒B内表面に沿うように高密度状態で移動して排出され、一方、中央流通路P1を通過する排ガスは、低密度状態で移動して排出され、夫々の圧力の差異等によって排出部分で共鳴し難くなると共に、音波エネルギーを確実に減衰できるようになり、消音性能が向上するものとなる。
しかも、構成が簡素で、耐久性に優れ、量産に適し、経済的なマフラーカッターを提供できるようになる。
そして、外筒Aによって、外観上の体裁が良いマフラーカッターとなる
【0020】
また、中央筒Cは、先端がわに行くに従って漸次小径となるテーパー円筒状に形成され、内筒Bは、基筒部B1と先端短筒部B2とで構成され、基筒部B1は、先端がわに行くに従って漸次小径となるテーパー円筒状に形成され、一方、先端短筒部B2は、基筒部B1の先端部分より大径で、且つ基筒部B1の先端に略円環状のリングプレートを介して連設され、しかも、基筒部B1の傾斜状態は、中央筒Cの傾斜状態よりきつく設定されて、中央筒C外表面と内筒B内表面との間隔が、先端がわに行くに従って漸次狭まるように構成したので、外周流通路P2の先端がわに於いて、排ガスの通過面積が小さくなり、排ガスの流速がより速くなる。そして、中央流通路P1及び外周流通路P2に於ける先端がわでの排ガスの排出速度を夫々高めることができ、排気効率の向上がより図れるようになると共に、エンジンの出力ロスをより低減できるようになる。しかも、消音性能もより向上できるものとなる。加えて、中央流通路P1を通過して排出される排ガスと、外周流通路P2を通過して排出される排ガスとが、排出部分で干渉し易くなり、音波エネルギーをより減衰し易くなる

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a general muffler cutter for improving the appearance of the vehicle, the end design of the exhaust muffler itself is intended to change, and does not improve the exhaust efficiency of the vehicle or improve the noise reduction performance. For this reason, some of the muffler cutters have many that significantly reduce the exhaust efficiency and cause an output loss, and that reduce the noise reduction performance.

Further, in the exhaust structure provided with the rectifying member as described above, there is a possibility that output loss due to the rectifying member may occur. That is, the exhaust gas is discharged while generating a vortex along the side wall due to the contact resistance. For this reason, the flow rate of the exhaust gas in the portion closer to the pipe side wall than the center portion becomes slower. Therefore, the exhaust structure described above is a bundle of a plurality of passages in which the flow straightening member is formed with a certain length, so that the area in contact with the flow straightening member is increased and the flow of exhaust gas is prevented, As the number of rectifying member pipes and plates increases, the contact resistance increases, a large number of small vortices are generated, the exhaust gas flow rate is slowed, exhaust efficiency is reduced, and output loss may occur.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problems, improve exhaust efficiency, reduce output loss, improve noise reduction performance, improve appearance, and simplify the configuration. It was created to provide a muffler cutter that is excellent in durability, suitable for mass production, and economical.

It is configured. Moreover, the pressure (atmospheric pressure) in the central flow passage P1 portion can be made lower (negative pressure) than the pressure (atmospheric pressure) in the outer peripheral flow passage P2 portion, and it is continuously fed from the engine into the exhaust muffler. The exhaust gas is configured to pass through at a high speed so as to be sucked into the central flow passage P1, and smooth discharge can be expected.
[0009]
The muffler cutter shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes an inner cylinder B, an outer cylinder A sheathed on the inner cylinder B, a central cylinder C disposed at a substantially central portion of the inner cylinder B, and the central cylinder.

The inner cylinder B is formed of a metal material (for example, stainless steel), a reinforced resin material, a composite material, or the like as appropriate, and includes a base cylinder portion B1 and a short end cylinder portion B2. The base tube portion B1 is formed in a substantially tapered cylindrical shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip, while the tip short tube portion B2 is larger in diameter than the tip portion of the base tube portion B1 and has a base tube portion. It is constructed by consecutively provided through the B1 substantially circular ring-shaped ring plate at the tip of the. Moreover, the inclined state of the substantially tapered cylindrical base tube portion B1 is set to be tighter than the inclined state of the substantially tapered cylindrical central tube C, which will be described later. The passage area is reduced, and the exhaust gas flow rate is increased.
[0012]
Further, the central cylinder C is formed of a metal material (for example, stainless steel), a reinforced resin material, a composite material, or the like as appropriate, and has a substantially tapered small cylinder shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip. In addition, the inner cylinder B is formed to be approximately half the length of the inner cylinder B, and the tip of the inner cylinder B is arranged on the alligator.

[0016]
The muffler cutter of the present invention is configured as described above. Next, the use state thereof will be described. First, when exhaust gas enters the muffler cutter from the exhaust muffler, the exhaust gas that has entered the outer peripheral flow path P2 is a plurality of exhaust gases. It is guided by the fin D and passes through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 while turning in a substantially spiral shape. At this time, centrifugal force and inertia act on the exhaust gas, and the outer periphery of the outer peripheral flow passage P2 is discharged while being compressed by the trap (the inner surface of the inner cylinder B). Then, the pressure (atmospheric pressure) of the central flow passage P1 portion (in the central cylinder C) becomes lower (negative pressure) than the pressure (atmospheric pressure) of the outer peripheral flow passage P2 portion, and is continuously fed from the engine into the exhaust muffler. The subsequent exhaust gas is strongly sucked into the central flow passage P1 (in the central cylinder C). That is, the exhaust gas passes through the central flow passage P1 (in the central cylinder C) at high speed and is discharged, and the subsequent exhaust gas continuously supplied from the engine into the exhaust muffler can be discharged smoothly.
[0017]
Further, the exhaust gas discharged from the muffler cutter through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 is rotated and diffused while spreading spirally by centrifugal force and inertia, and the pressure (atmospheric pressure) of the central portion surrounded by the exhaust gas ) Becomes lower. Then, the exhaust gas discharged to the outside of the muffler cutter through the central flow passage P1 is smoothly discharged rearward.
[0018]
In addition, the exhaust gas that passes through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 is moved and discharged in a high density state along the inner surface of the inner cylinder B by centrifugal force. On the other hand, the exhaust gas passing through the central flow passage P1 moves and is discharged in a low density state. Then, the exhaust gas discharged through the central flow passage P1 and the exhaust gas discharged through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 are discharged from each other due to a difference in pressure (or impedance mismatch). This makes it difficult to resonate and attenuates the sound wave energy.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
Therefore, the muffler cutter according to claim 1 is an muffler cutter attached to the exhaust muffler end portion of the vehicle, the outer cylinder A configured to improve the appearance of the outer cylinder A, and the inner cylinder A An inner cylinder B whose surface is arranged on the side and a central cylinder C which is arranged at a substantially central portion of the outer cylinder A, and a central flow passage P1 through which exhaust gas passes linearly is provided in the central cylinder C ; between the central tube C outer surface and the inner tube B inside surface, and the inner cylinder B in the vicinity of the surface portion, is provided an outer peripheral flow passage P2 for over-passing as exhaust gas to surround the central flow passage P1, the outer peripheral flow path P2 is provided with a plurality of fins D formed to be twisted in the same direction, and the exhaust gas is guided to the fins D and passes through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 while being swirled in a substantially spiral shape. The exhaust gas passing through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 swirls in a substantially spiral shape. To be reluctant discharged, the centrifugal force acts, the inner cylinder B in the surface and is discharged while being crocodile compressed. Then, the pressure in the central flow passage P1 portion becomes lower than the pressure in the outer peripheral flow passage P2 portion, and the subsequent exhaust gas continuously fed from the engine into the exhaust muffler is smoothly and smoothly transmitted through the central flow passage P1. As a result, the exhaust efficiency can be improved and the engine output loss can be reduced.
Further, the exhaust gas discharged through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 is rotated and diffused while spreading spirally due to the centrifugal force and inertia, thereby lowering the pressure in the surrounded central portion. As a result, the exhaust gas discharged through the central flow passage P1 can be smoothly discharged rearward, so that the exhaust efficiency can be further improved and the output loss of the engine can be further reduced.
In addition, the exhaust gas that passes through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 is moved and discharged in a high density state along the inner surface of the inner cylinder B by centrifugal force, while the exhaust gas that passes through the central flow passage P1 is in a low density state. In this case, it becomes difficult to resonate at the discharge portion due to a difference in pressure and the like, and the sound wave energy can be surely attenuated, so that the silencing performance is improved.
In addition, a simple structure, excellent durability, suitable for mass production, and an economical muffler cutter can be provided.
The outer cylinder A provides a muffler cutter with a good appearance .
[0020]
Further, the central cylinder C is formed in a tapered cylindrical shape that gradually becomes smaller in diameter as the distal end goes, the inner cylinder B is composed of a base cylindrical part B1 and a distal short cylinder part B2, and the base cylindrical part B1 is It is formed in a tapered cylindrical shape that gradually becomes smaller in diameter as the tip is moved, while the tip short tube portion B2 is larger in diameter than the tip portion of the base tube portion B1 and is substantially annular at the tip of the base tube portion B1. In addition, the inclined state of the base cylinder part B1 is set more tightly than the inclined state of the central cylinder C, and the distance between the outer surface of the central cylinder C and the inner surface of the inner cylinder B is such that the tip is Since it is configured so that it gradually narrows as it goes, the exhaust gas passage area decreases at the tip of the outer peripheral flow passage P2, and the flow rate of the exhaust gas becomes faster. In addition, the exhaust gas exhaust speed at the front ends of the central flow passage P1 and the outer peripheral flow passage P2 can be increased, exhaust efficiency can be further improved, and engine output loss can be further reduced. It becomes like this. Moreover, the silencing performance can be further improved. In addition, the exhaust gas discharged through the central flow passage P1 and the exhaust gas discharged through the outer peripheral flow passage P2 are likely to interfere with each other at the discharge portion, and sound wave energy is more easily attenuated .
