Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air gap insulated Exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine, in particular in one Motor vehicle, having the features of the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Such exhaust manifold is for example from the DE 44 44 760 A1 discloses and comprises a in a Longitudinally extending manifold, one in the Longitudinally oriented outlet opening, several across the Longitudinally oriented inlet openings and an in extending longitudinally, the inlet openings containing flange.
  • Such exhaust manifold is doing by an outer tube attached to the flange and an under Forming an air gap insulation in the outer tube inserted inner tube formed.
  • a material-saving Construction is achieved in the known exhaust manifold thereby in that in the region of at least one of the inlet openings Gas leading outer tube section is provided by the respective inlet opening to an associated, from the flange spaced inner tube inlet leads.
  • Air gap insulated, double-walled exhaust manifolds are included Exhaust systems of internal combustion engines, in particular of Motor vehicles, increasingly use and provide for one optimal operation of a downstream catalyst. To the they cause a reduced heat emission of the exhaust gas to the environment, so that the exhaust gas with higher temperature can be supplied to the respective catalyst. This is especially during the warm-up phase of Internal combustion engine of importance, since thereby the catalyst can reach its working temperature very quickly. To the others reduce the air gap insulated exhaust manifolds Heat application of components that z. B. in the engine compartment are arranged adjacent to the exhaust manifold.
  • the air gap insulation inevitably cause the inner tube higher temperatures is exposed as the outer tube.
  • the episode stretches the inner tube in the operation of the internal combustion engine stronger as the outer tube.
  • the resulting problematic leads to an increased design effort in the known conventional exhaust manifolds.

  • the invention provides, the inner tube outside the Fixier Schemes at least in the longitudinal direction relative to To arrange the outer tube movable, which leads to a thermally induced expansion of the inner tube relative to Outer tube at least in the longitudinal direction almost tension-free is possible. Thermal stresses can thus avoided at least in the longitudinal direction.
  • This basically gives the possibility that To design the inner tube in one piece; in particular, one is multi-part construction with nested ones Inner tube parts not required. Noteworthy here, that at the same time the material-saving advantages known exhaust manifold can still be used, as further in the area of at least one inlet opening Gas leading outer tube section is provided.

  • a Internal combustion engine are attached, z. B. by means Screws formed by the flange 6 Plug-in openings 7 are pushed through.
  • the exhaust manifold 1 thus forms a transition from the internal combustion engine to an exhaust line of the internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle.
  • the exhaust manifold 1 consists of its outlet opening 4 bis to its inlet openings 5 from an outer tube 10 and out an inner tube 11, which under formation of a Air gap insulation 12 is inserted into the outer tube 10. Accordingly, this is a Air gap insulated or double-walled exhaust manifold 1.
  • One constructive feature is seen, among other things, in that in the range of at least one, here in the range of two inlet openings 5, namely in the region of the two right inlet openings 5, one each gas-conducting outer pipe section 13 is provided. These Outside pipe sections 13 each lead from the associated inlet opening 5 to an associated Inner tube inlet 14, each spaced from the flange 6 is arranged.
  • This fixing region 15 is specifically chosen that he with respect to the longitudinal direction 3 approximately midway between the outlet port 4 shown on the left and the farthest from the outlet opening 4, shown on the right Inlet opening 5 is arranged.
  • the Fixation area 15 exclusively in the area of the left formed inlet opening 5 formed, ie in the area that inlet opening 5, with respect to the longitudinal direction 3 approximately in the middle between the outlet opening 4 and the am farthest, shown on the right inlet port 5 lies.
  • the fixing portion 15 is appropriate ring-shaped and extends in Circumferential direction of the inlet opening 5.
  • the inner tube 11 extends appropriately in the fixing region 15 up to or into the flange 6 is the inner tube 11 in the area of the associated Inlet opening 5 attached to the outer tube 10.
  • the outer tube 10 is in turn attached to the flange 6 in the fixing area 15.
  • the Inner tube 11 thus guided to the inlet opening 5, so that the associated inner tube inlet 14 substantially with the Inlet opening 5 coincides.
  • this is Single line 19 no gas-carrying outer pipe section 13 intended. Accordingly, the gas-leading Outer pipe sections 13 exclusively in the area of those Inlet openings 5 are provided outside the Fixing 15 lie.
  • a special feature is also in the design of the Transition between inner tube 11 and outer tube 10 seen which is realized in the single line 19, the am farthest from the inlet opening 5 and thus leads to the inlet opening 5 shown on the right.
  • this Transition is the inner tube 11 via a sliding seat 16 in Outer tube 10 movably mounted.
  • This sliding seat 16 allows guided relative movements between Inner tube 11 and outer tube 10, which is a significant Component in the longitudinal direction 3 have.
  • the sliding seat 16 exemplified by several locally limited spacers 17 realized in the area of the associated Inner tube inlet 14 are arranged distributed circumferentially and, for example, by expressions immediately on Inner tube 11 are made.
  • spacers 17th lead to a localized, areal contact between the inner tube 11 and outer tube 10 and serve for Positioning of the inner tube 11 on the outer tube 10th At the same time enable such spacers 17th Relative displacements of the two tubes 10, 11 to each other.
