Definitions
- the invention is based on an insulated exhaust manifold which is attached, for example, to a cylinder head using a flange.
- the gas-carrying inner tube is surrounded by an outer tube which in many cases has a bearing, a distance being formed between the tubes. This distance can be filled with air or filled with an insulating material.
- the outer tube has approximately the same shape as the inner tube and is attached to the cylinder flange at the same locations as the gas-carrying inner tube. On In this way, the outer tube must be constructed from several partial shells, which then have to be connected to one another in a relatively complicated process for forming the outer tube.
- an inner skin consisting of two half-shells is present, which is surrounded by an insulating body consisting of two partial shells.
- the outside is covered by an outer shell, which also consists of two parts.
- the two half-shells of the outer shell can only be connected to one another after they have been attached to the inner skin.
- the invention has for its object to provide an exhaust manifold that is inexpensive to manufacture and has high strength.
- the invention proposes an exhaust manifold with the features of claim 1. Further training is the subject of the subclaims.
- the outer tube By designing the outer tube as a hood, the number of parts required for producing the exhaust manifold is reduced, and thus the number of connection or fastening processes.
- the hood is made in a size that can be placed over the inner tube. The shape of the hood no longer has to follow the shape of the inner tube. It can therefore be manufactured with relatively little effort. At the same time, the space between the inner tube and the hood increases, which can lead to better thermal insulation. Due to the larger surface of the hood, it can give off its heat better to the outside. This reduces the temperature load and increases the service life of the exhaust manifold.
- the hood is designed as a one-piece sheet metal part.
- the invention proposes in a further development that the hood is welded to the cylinder flange essentially along the edge thereof. This also leads to an increase in the strength of the exhaust manifold.
- the hood prefferably be welded to the collecting flange essentially along its edge.
- the cylinder flange and / or collecting flange is designed as a sheet metal plate, it also being possible, of course, to provide a plurality of sheet metal plates lying flat on one another to form the flanges.
- the cylinder flange and the collector flange are connected directly to one another. This further increases the strength of the exhaust manifold, since it leads to a stiffening of the collecting flange.
- the connection of the collector flange to the cylinder flange also results in thermal relief of the collector flange.
- the cylinder flange and the collecting flange are part of a common circuit board. This board can be produced in one operation, so that no subsequent connection is required.
- circuit board is angled, one part of the cylinder flange and the part separated by the bend forms the collecting flange.
- the inner tube is passed through an opening of the collecting flange, insulated from the latter in particular through an air gap.
- the inner tube can then be held in the forward tube. So there is a thermal decoupling between the gas-carrying and therefore hot inner tube and the flange and thus also the hood.
- the inner tube can be constructed from a plurality of sections which can be connected to one another by sliding seats, the sliding seats possibly being sealed by a corrugated bellows.
- the space between the gas-carrying inner tube and the hood can be filled with air, but it is also possible to fill it with an insulating material.
- the part of the exhaust manifold shown in FIG. 1 contains a cylinder flange 1 which is constructed from an angled sheet metal plate 2 and a sealing plate 3 arranged on the side of the sheet metal plate 2 facing the cylinder head.
- the sealing plate 3 can in particular consist of a different material.
- a plurality of holes 4 passing through the circuit board 2, 3 are provided for fastening to the cylinder head.
- a plurality of pipe parts 5a, 5b, 5c are fastened to the cylinder flange 1, which together form an inner pipe 5 carrying the exhaust gas of the engine.
- the individual parts 5a, 5b, 5c of the inner tube 5 are connected to one another by sliding seats, so that a length compensation can take place when heated.
- the part of the angled sheet metal plate 2 which is angled with respect to the plane of the cylinder flange 1 forms a collecting flange 6 to which a corresponding flange of the further pipeline can be screwed.
- the collecting flange contains a central opening 7 for the passage of the inner tube 5.
- the inner tube 5 is passed through the opening 7 in such a way that it has a radial distance from the edge of the opening 7 on all sides. So there is no touch. Even if the inner tube 5 heats up more than the angled plate 2, the distance from the edge of the opening is maintained.
- the collecting flange 6 has threaded bores 8 in the region of its corners, into which screws for fastening the flange of the front pipe can be screwed. It is of course also possible to have 6 nuts in the area of the bores on the inside of the collecting flange visible in FIG. 1 8 welded, which then have the thread for the screws. It is also possible to weld bolts in the form of studs or combinations of both.
- a hood 9 shown in the correct position in FIG. 2 is placed on the part of the exhaust manifold shown in FIG. 1.
- the hood 9 is produced as a one-piece sheet metal part by pulling and has an opening directed downward in FIG. 2.
- the edge of the sheet metal part 9 delimiting the opening corresponds approximately to the shape and dimensions of the angled sheet metal plate 2.
- Three indentations 11 are formed in the mutually parallel side walls 10 of the hood 9, which lie in the axial extension of the holes 4. The indentations 11 provide access to the screws with which the exhaust manifold is screwed onto the cylinder head.
- the hood 9 is placed on the angled sheet metal plate 2 and welded along the edge of the two angled parts both to the cylinder flange 1 and to the collecting flange 6. This results in a very stable arrangement of the circuit board 2 and the hood 9 with a simple construction. This arrangement is shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen that the indentations 11 allow access to the holes 4. The edge of the hood 9 lies flat on the top of the sheet metal plate 2 and can be welded there.
- the end region 12 of the gas-carrying inner tube 5 protruding through the collecting flange 6 can then be plugged into a front tube and, if necessary, form a sliding fit there with a further tube part.
- the one-piece connection of the collecting flange 6 with the cylinder flange 1 not only results in a stiffening of the exhaust manifold, but also a thermal relief of the collecting flange. This is further reinforced by the annular gap between the gas-carrying inner tube 5 and the edge of the opening 7 of the collecting flange 6.
