Description

本発明は、多気筒エンジンの排気系(排気システム)の少なくとも一部を構成する排気装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an exhaust device that constitutes at least a part of an exhaust system (exhaust system) of a multi-cylinder engine.

車輌用多気筒エンジンにおいては、各気筒から排出された排気ガスは排気マニホルドを経てその下流側の排気管に導かれる。かかる排気系の構成形態としては、排気マニホルドを構成する全ての分岐管(ブランチ)を一本の又は単管構造の排気管に集合させるシングルエキゾースト構造が一般的であるが、例えば出力重視の4気筒エンジンではデュアルエキゾースト構造も採用され得る。デュアルエキゾースト構造では、一般に点火順序を考慮して組合せを選択した2つの気筒に対応する2つの分岐管を一つにまとめて一単位の排気通路を設定すると共に、かかる排気通路を二単位並列させて排気マニホルド以下の排気系を構築している。デュアルエキゾースト構造によれば、シングルエキゾースト構造で問題になりがちな排気干渉を回避して出力向上を図ることができる。二単位並列状態の排気通路の長さ(一般に「デュアル長」という)を長く確保するほどエンジン性能が向上する傾向にある。   In a vehicular multi-cylinder engine, exhaust gas discharged from each cylinder is led to an exhaust pipe on the downstream side through an exhaust manifold. As a configuration form of such an exhaust system, a single exhaust structure in which all branch pipes (branches) constituting the exhaust manifold are gathered into one exhaust pipe or a single pipe structure is common. In a cylinder engine, a dual exhaust structure can also be adopted. In the dual exhaust structure, generally, two branch pipes corresponding to two cylinders selected in consideration of the ignition order are combined into one unit to set one unit exhaust passage, and two units of such exhaust passages are arranged in parallel. The exhaust system below the exhaust manifold is constructed. According to the dual exhaust structure, it is possible to avoid exhaust interference that tends to be a problem in the single exhaust structure and to improve the output. The engine performance tends to improve as the length of the exhaust passage in the two-unit parallel state (generally referred to as “dual length”) is secured longer.

デュアルエキゾースト構造の一例として、特許文献1に開示の直列4気筒エンジンの排気装置をあげることができる。その排気装置では、排気マニホルドと、それに接続されるフロントチューブの双方をデュアル化している。特に排気マニホルドについては、外筒及び内筒からなる二重構造を採用すると共に外筒内に配置された内筒を二股状としている。そして、2番及び3番排気ポートからの排気ガスを二股状の内筒によって一つにまとめ、1番及び4番排気ポートからの排気ガスを外筒(正確には内筒と外筒との間の隙間空間)によって一つにまとめている。この排気装置によれば、各分岐管の三次元形状を複雑化することなく4つの分岐管の等長化を容易に実現でき、背圧対策上のメリットがある。   As an example of the dual exhaust structure, an exhaust device of an in-line four-cylinder engine disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be given. In the exhaust system, both the exhaust manifold and the front tube connected thereto are dualized. In particular, for the exhaust manifold, a double structure comprising an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder is adopted, and the inner cylinder disposed in the outer cylinder is bifurcated. The exhaust gases from the No. 2 and No. 3 exhaust ports are combined into one by a bifurcated inner cylinder, and the exhaust gases from the No. 1 and No. 4 exhaust ports are combined into an outer cylinder (more precisely, the It is put together by the gap space). According to this exhaust device, it is possible to easily realize the equal length of the four branch pipes without complicating the three-dimensional shape of each branch pipe, and there is a merit for back pressure countermeasures.

ところで、近年の車輌用エンジンでは、エンジンからの排気ガスを極力クリーン化すること等を目的として、酸素濃度センサの一種であるA/Fセンサ(空燃比センサ)を排気系に設置し、そのセンサで測定した排気ガス中の酸素濃度値をエンジン等のフィードバック制御に利用する傾向にある。A/Fセンサは当然のことながら、排気ガス浄化用触媒コンバータ及びその直前の応力緩和機構(例えばボールジョイントのようなもの)よりも上流側に位置する必要がある。このため、前述のようなデュアルエキゾースト構造を採用した排気系であっても、一つのA/Fセンサで全気筒から排出される排気ガスの酸素濃度を監視する必要から、触媒コンバータ及び応力緩和機構とデュアル排気通路部との中間位置にあえて単管部(シングル排気通路部)を設定し、その単管部にA/Fセンサを取り付けるしかなかった。   By the way, in recent vehicle engines, an A / F sensor (air-fuel ratio sensor), which is a kind of oxygen concentration sensor, is installed in an exhaust system for the purpose of cleaning exhaust gas from the engine as much as possible. There is a tendency to use the oxygen concentration value in the exhaust gas measured in step 1 for feedback control of an engine or the like. As a matter of course, the A / F sensor needs to be positioned upstream of the exhaust gas purifying catalytic converter and the stress relaxation mechanism (such as a ball joint) just before the exhaust gas purifying catalytic converter. For this reason, even in an exhaust system that adopts the dual exhaust structure as described above, it is necessary to monitor the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas exhausted from all cylinders with a single A / F sensor. A single pipe portion (single exhaust passage portion) was set at an intermediate position between the two and the dual exhaust passage portion, and an A / F sensor was attached to the single pipe portion.

しかしながら、上記のようにデュアル排気通路部の直後にセンサ取付け用単管部を設定しなければならないとなると、少なくともセンサ取付け用単管部の長さ分だけデュアル長を短くせざるを得ず、デュアルエキゾースト構造を採用するメリットが損なわれる虞れがある。尚、特許文献1には、酸素濃度センサ等のガスセンサに関する開示はなく、いわんやデュアルエキゾースト構造とガスセンサとの関わりについては開示も示唆もない。   However, as described above, if the sensor mounting single pipe portion must be set immediately after the dual exhaust passage portion, the dual length must be shortened by at least the length of the sensor mounting single pipe portion, There is a possibility that the merit of adopting the dual exhaust structure may be impaired. Patent Document 1 does not disclose a gas sensor such as an oxygen concentration sensor, and does not disclose or suggest the relationship between the dual exhaust structure and the gas sensor.

特開2001−65340号公報JP 2001-65340 A

本発明の目的は、デュアルエキゾースト構造のメリットを損なうことなく、排気系にガスセンサを設置可能な多気筒エンジンの排気装置を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust device for a multi-cylinder engine in which a gas sensor can be installed in an exhaust system without impairing the merit of the dual exhaust structure.

請求項1の発明は、多気筒エンジンの各気筒の排気ポートに対応する複数の分岐管を集合させるためのデュアル構造の排気集合部を備えた排気装置であって、
前記デュアル構造の排気集合部は、二以上の入口部及び単一の出口部を有し且つ二以上の分岐管を一つに集合させる内側排気通路を構築する内管部材と、前記内管部材を包含するように設けられてその内管部材の外周域にその他の分岐管を一つに集合させる外側排気通路を構築する外管部材とから構成されており、
前記内管部材の出口部は単管状に形成されると共に、その単管状出口部を包囲する前記外管部材の出口部も単管状に形成され、且つ、内管部材の単管状出口部は外管部材の単管状出口部に対して偏心配置されており、
前記デュアル構造の排気集合部には、ガスセンサが前記外管部材及び内管部材を貫通するように、且つ、前記排気集合部の出口部における外側排気通路のうち前記偏心配置によって通路断面積が相対的に大きくなった部分を占めるように設けられていることを特徴とする多気筒エンジンの排気装置である。
The invention of claim 1 is an exhaust system comprising a dual-structure exhaust collecting portion for collecting a plurality of branch pipes corresponding to the exhaust ports of each cylinder of a multi-cylinder engine,
The dual structure exhaust collecting portion includes an inner pipe member having two or more inlet portions and a single outlet portion, and constructing an inner exhaust passage for collecting two or more branch pipes into one, and the inner pipe member And an outer pipe member that constructs an outer exhaust passage that collects other branch pipes together in the outer peripheral area of the inner pipe member,
The outlet portion of the inner tube member is formed in a single tube, the outlet portion of the outer tube member surrounding the single tube outlet portion is also formed in a single tube, and the single tube outlet portion of the inner tube member is an outer tube. It is arranged eccentrically with respect to the single tubular outlet of the tube member,
Wherein the exhaust collector of a dual structure, gas sensor, so as to penetrate the outer pipe member and the inner pipe member, and, the cross-sectional area by the eccentric arrangement of the outer gas exhaust path at the outlet portion of the exhaust collector An exhaust system for a multi-cylinder engine is provided so as to occupy a relatively large portion .

請求項1によれば、内管部材及び外管部材からなるデュアル構造の排気集合部に対して外管部材及び内管部材を貫通するようにガスセンサが設けられている。それ故、単一のガスセンサで、内管部材によって構築される内側排気通路および外管部材によって構築される内管部材外周域の外側排気通路の双方を流れる排気ガスを同時に検知できる。また、ガスセンサはデュアル構造の排気集合部に設置されているので、ガスセンサの設置がデュアル長の短縮原因とはなり得ない。従って、デュアルエキゾースト構造のメリットを損なうことなく、多気筒エンジンの排気系にガスセンサを設置することができる。
加えて、内管部材の出口部及び外管部材の出口部が共に単管状に形成されることで排気集合部の出口部は二重管構造をなし、内側排気通路を外側排気通路が横断面略環状に取り囲む形となる。更に、内管部材の単管状出口部が外管部材の単管状出口部に対して偏心配置されることで、当該二重管構造出口部の外側排気通路には、通路断面積が相対的に大きな部分と小さな部分とが生まれる。本構成では、外側排気通路のうち前記偏心配置によって通路断面積が相対的に大きくなった部分を占めるようにガスセンサが設けられているので、外側排気通路を流れる排気ガスに対するガスセンサの接触面積を十分に確保でき、外側排気通路を流れる排気ガスの検知がおろそかになることはない。従って、単一のガスセンサによって、内側排気通路及び外側排気通路の双方を流れる排気ガスを検知することができる。
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the gas sensor is provided so as to penetrate the outer tube member and the inner tube member with respect to the exhaust structure having a dual structure including the inner tube member and the outer tube member. Therefore, the single gas sensor can simultaneously detect the exhaust gas flowing in both the inner exhaust passage constructed by the inner tube member and the outer exhaust passage in the outer peripheral region of the inner tube member constructed by the outer tube member. Further, since the gas sensor is installed in the exhaust structure having a dual structure, the installation of the gas sensor cannot be a cause for shortening the dual length. Therefore, a gas sensor can be installed in the exhaust system of a multi-cylinder engine without impairing the merit of the dual exhaust structure.
In addition, the outlet part of the inner pipe member and the outlet part of the outer pipe member are both formed into a single tube, so that the outlet part of the exhaust collecting part has a double pipe structure, and the outer exhaust passage is cross-sectionally crossed by the inner exhaust passage. It becomes a shape surrounding the ring. Furthermore, since the single tubular outlet portion of the inner tube member is eccentrically arranged with respect to the single tubular outlet portion of the outer tube member, the outer cross-sectional area of the outer pipe of the double tube structure outlet portion is relatively A big part and a small part are born. In this configuration, since the gas sensor is provided so as to occupy a portion where the cross-sectional area of the outer exhaust passage is relatively large due to the eccentric arrangement, the contact area of the gas sensor with respect to the exhaust gas flowing through the outer exhaust passage is sufficiently large. The detection of exhaust gas flowing through the outer exhaust passage is not neglected. Therefore, exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage and the outer exhaust passage can be detected by a single gas sensor.

請求項2の発明は、請求項1に記載の多気筒エンジンの排気装置において、前記内管部材の単管状出口部には、前記ガスセンサを挿通するための開口が形成されていることを特徴とする。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the exhaust system for a multi-cylinder engine according to the first aspect, an opening for inserting the gas sensor is formed in a single tubular outlet of the inner tube member. To do.

請求項2によれば、内管部材の単管状出口部にガスセンサ挿通用開口を設けることで、単一のガスセンサが、内側排気通路及び外側排気通路の双方を流れる排気ガスを検知可能となる。 According to the second aspect , by providing the gas sensor insertion opening at the single tubular outlet of the inner pipe member, the single gas sensor can detect the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage and the outer exhaust passage.

請求項3の発明は、請求項1に記載の多気筒エンジンの排気装置において、前記内管部材の単管状出口部には、前記ガスセンサを挿通するための開口と、その開口よりも上流側に位置するガス連通孔とが形成されていることを特徴とする。 According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the exhaust system for a multi-cylinder engine according to the first aspect , the single tubular outlet portion of the inner tube member has an opening through which the gas sensor is inserted and an upstream side of the opening. The gas communication hole which is located is formed.

請求項3によれば、内管部材の単管状出口部には、ガスセンサ挿通用開口に加えて、その上流側に位置するガス連通孔が設けられている。このガス連通孔は、外側排気通路(内管部材の外側)を流れる排気ガスと内側排気通路(内管部材の内側)を流れる排気ガスとをガスセンサの上流位置でミキシングしてガス流を適度に乱すために設けられている。ガス連通孔の存在により、外側排気通路及び内側排気通路の双方を流れる排気ガスが、内管部材及び外管部材を貫通するガスセンサに満遍なく横当りする。従って、単一のガスセンサが、内側排気通路及び外側排気通路の双方を流れる排気ガスを満遍なく検知する性能を更に高めることが可能となる。なお、ガスセンサ挿通用開口とガス連通孔とは、それぞれが別個に存在してもよいが、両者が一体化して一つの開口部として存在してもよい。 According to the third aspect , in addition to the gas sensor insertion opening, the single tubular outlet portion of the inner tube member is provided with a gas communication hole located on the upstream side thereof. This gas communication hole mixes the exhaust gas flowing in the outer exhaust passage (outside of the inner pipe member) and the exhaust gas flowing in the inner exhaust passage (inner side of the inner pipe member) at the upstream position of the gas sensor so as to moderate the gas flow. Provided to disturb. Due to the presence of the gas communication hole, the exhaust gas flowing through both the outer exhaust passage and the inner exhaust passage uniformly strikes the gas sensor that penetrates the inner tube member and the outer tube member. Therefore, the single gas sensor can further improve the performance of uniformly detecting the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage and the outer exhaust passage. Note that the gas sensor insertion opening and the gas communication hole may exist separately, but they may be integrated and exist as one opening.

4. The gas sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the gas sensor is an oxygen concentration sensor that detects an oxygen concentration in exhaust gas.

各請求項に記載の多気筒エンジンの排気装置によれば、デュアルエキゾースト構造のメリットを損なうことなく、排気系にガスセンサを設置することが可能となる。   According to the exhaust system for a multi-cylinder engine described in each claim, it is possible to install a gas sensor in the exhaust system without impairing the merit of the dual exhaust structure.

以下、本発明を直列4気筒エンジン用の排気マニホルドに具体化したいくつかの実施形態を図面を参照して説明する。尚、排気マニホルドの装着対象となる4気筒エンジンの各気筒には順に#1,#2,#3及び#4の気筒番号を付すものとする。このエンジンは、4つの気筒の各々に対応する排気ポートP1〜P4を具備している(図1参照)。   Several embodiments of the present invention embodied in an exhaust manifold for an in-line four-cylinder engine will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that cylinder numbers # 1, # 2, # 3, and # 4 are sequentially assigned to the cylinders of the four-cylinder engine to which the exhaust manifold is attached. The engine includes exhaust ports P1 to P4 corresponding to the four cylinders (see FIG. 1).

(第1実施形態)
図1及び図2に示すように、排気系の最上流部を構成する排気装置としての排気マニホルドは、4本の分岐管1,2,3及び4、並びに、それら4本の分岐管1〜4を束ねる排気集合部5を少なくとも具備している。
(First embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an exhaust manifold as an exhaust device constituting the most upstream part of the exhaust system includes four branch pipes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the four branch pipes 1 to 1. 4 includes at least an exhaust collecting portion 5 for bundling four members.

4本の分岐管1〜4は#1番〜#4番の各気筒に対応して設けられている。分岐管1〜4はいずれも、外パイプの内側に内パイプを重ねてなる二重管構造の分岐管として構成されている。この二重管構造の分岐管にあっては、内パイプの肉厚を外パイプの肉厚よりも薄くすることが好ましく、これにより内パイプへの伝熱による排気ガスの温度低下を極力防止することができる。これら分岐管1〜4の入口端は、ヘッドフランジ6を介してそれぞれ対応する排気ポートP1〜P4に接続されている。分岐管1〜4の出口端は排気集合部5に連結されている。   The four branch pipes 1 to 4 are provided corresponding to the # 1 to # 4 cylinders. Each of the branch pipes 1 to 4 is configured as a branch pipe having a double pipe structure in which the inner pipe is stacked inside the outer pipe. In the branch pipe of this double pipe structure, it is preferable to make the thickness of the inner pipe thinner than the thickness of the outer pipe, thereby preventing the temperature reduction of the exhaust gas due to heat transfer to the inner pipe as much as possible. be able to. The inlet ends of these branch pipes 1 to 4 are connected to the corresponding exhaust ports P1 to P4 via the head flange 6 respectively. The outlet ends of the branch pipes 1 to 4 are connected to the exhaust collecting portion 5.

図1〜図3に示すように、排気集合部5の出口付近にはアウトフランジ7が装着されている。このアウトフランジ7は、排気集合部5の出口端を応力緩和機構(図示略)に連結するための部位であり、排気集合部5の出口端はその応力緩和機構を介して排気ガス浄化用触媒コンバータ(図示略)に連結される。排気集合部5にはその側方から突き刺すように、ガスセンサとしてのA/Fセンサ8が取り付けられている。A/Fセンサ8は、排気ガス中の酸素濃度を検出する酸素濃度センサの一種であるが、特に希薄燃焼制御に利用する目的で、従来のいわゆるオーツーセンサ(狭義の酸素濃度センサ)よりも更に広い範囲の酸素濃度を検知できるように設計された広範囲酸素濃度センサである。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an out flange 7 is mounted near the outlet of the exhaust collecting portion 5. The out flange 7 is a portion for connecting the outlet end of the exhaust collecting portion 5 to a stress relaxation mechanism (not shown), and the outlet end of the exhaust collecting portion 5 is connected to the exhaust gas purifying catalyst via the stress relaxation mechanism. It is connected to a converter (not shown). An A / F sensor 8 as a gas sensor is attached to the exhaust collecting portion 5 so as to pierce from the side. The A / F sensor 8 is a kind of oxygen concentration sensor that detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. However, the A / F sensor 8 is more than the conventional so-called O-to sensor (narrow sense oxygen concentration sensor) particularly for the purpose of use in lean combustion control. A wide range oxygen concentration sensor designed to detect a wide range of oxygen concentrations.

図4〜図7に示すように、排気集合部5は主として、内管部材10と、それを包含又は包囲する外管部材20とから構成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the exhaust collecting portion 5 mainly includes an inner pipe member 10 and an outer pipe member 20 that includes or surrounds the inner pipe member 10.

図6に示すように、内管部材10は、二つの入口部11,12及び一つの出口部13を有する縦断面が略Y字状をなす中空部材である。内管部材の出口部13は単管状に形成され、その単管状出口部13よりも上流側に、二股状に分岐した二つの入口部11,12が設けられている。それら二つの入口部11,12には、#1番及び#4番の二気筒に対応する二つの分岐管1,4がそれぞれ連結されている。それ故、この内管部材10の内部には、二つの分岐管1,4を一つに集合させる内側排気通路14が構築される。なお、図5に示すように、内管部材の単管状出口部13を構成する壁部には、A/Fセンサ8の先端部を挿通するための開口15が形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, the inner tube member 10 is a hollow member having two inlet portions 11 and 12 and one outlet portion 13 and having a substantially Y-shaped longitudinal section. The outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member is formed in a single tubular shape, and two inlet portions 11 and 12 branched in a bifurcated shape are provided on the upstream side of the single tubular outlet portion 13. Two branch pipes 1 and 4 corresponding to the # 1 and # 4 two cylinders are connected to the two inlet portions 11 and 12, respectively. Therefore, an inner exhaust passage 14 that collects the two branch pipes 1 and 4 together is constructed in the inner pipe member 10. As shown in FIG. 5, an opening 15 for inserting the distal end portion of the A / F sensor 8 is formed in the wall portion constituting the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member.

図6に示すように、外管部材20は、内管部材10の全体を包含するように設けられている。外管部材20のうち、内管部材の二つの入口部11,12を包囲する外管部材の前半部(又は入口部)21は、略円錐面型のカバー形状に形成され(図3参照)、内管部材の単管状出口部13を包囲する外管部材の後半部(即ち出口部)23は同じく単管状に形成されている。また図3及び図6に示すように、円錐カバー状の外管部材前半部21に対しては閉塞カバー材26が固着されている。この閉塞カバー材26は、外管部材前半部21における前側開口端を塞ぐと共に、#2番及び#3番の二気筒に対応する二つの分岐管2,3を外管部材20に連結するための連結要素としての役割も担っている。   As shown in FIG. 6, the outer tube member 20 is provided so as to encompass the entire inner tube member 10. Of the outer tube member 20, the front half (or inlet portion) 21 of the outer tube member that surrounds the two inlet portions 11 and 12 of the inner tube member is formed in a substantially conical surface cover shape (see FIG. 3). The latter half portion (that is, the outlet portion) 23 of the outer tube member surrounding the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member is also formed in a single tubular shape. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, a closing cover member 26 is fixed to the conical cover-shaped outer tube member front half 21. The closing cover member 26 closes the front opening end in the outer tube member front half 21 and connects the two branch pipes 2 and 3 corresponding to the # 2 and # 3 two cylinders to the outer tube member 20. It also plays a role as a connecting element.

外管部材20及び閉塞カバー材26により、内管部材10の外周域、つまり内管部材10と外管部材20との間の領域には横断面が概略円環状となる隙間空間が確保される。この隙間空間には前記二つの分岐管2,3が連通するため、当該隙間空間により、内管部材10の外周域において二つの分岐管2,3を一つに集合させる外側排気通路24が構築される。このように、内管部材10、外管部材20及び閉塞カバー材26により、デュアルエキゾースト構造の排気集合部5が構築されている。なお、図7に示すように、排気集合部5に集合させられた4本の分岐管1〜4は、#1番及び#4番の二気筒に対応する二つの分岐管1,4の並び具合と、#2番及び#3番の二気筒に対応する二つの分岐管2,3の並び具合とがそれぞれ四角形の対角線位置となるように相対配置されている。   The outer tube member 20 and the closing cover member 26 ensure a clearance space having a substantially annular cross section in the outer peripheral region of the inner tube member 10, that is, in the region between the inner tube member 10 and the outer tube member 20. . Since the two branch pipes 2 and 3 communicate with this gap space, the outer exhaust passage 24 that collects the two branch pipes 2 and 3 together in the outer peripheral area of the inner pipe member 10 is constructed by the gap space. Is done. In this way, the exhaust collecting portion 5 having a dual exhaust structure is constructed by the inner tube member 10, the outer tube member 20 and the closing cover member 26. As shown in FIG. 7, the four branch pipes 1 to 4 assembled in the exhaust collecting portion 5 are arranged of two branch pipes 1 and 4 corresponding to the # 1 and # 4 two cylinders. The state and the arrangement state of the two branch pipes 2 and 3 corresponding to the # 2 and # 3 two cylinders are relatively arranged so as to be in the diagonal positions of the quadrangle.

更に図4及び図5に示すように、排気集合部5の出口部(又は後半部)では、内側排気通路14を構成する内管部材の単管状出口部13が、外側排気通路24を構成する外管部材の単管状出口部23に対して偏心配置された状態で、3つの支持リブ16によって内管部材出口部13が外管部材出口部23の内周壁に連結支持されている。より具体的には図5に示すように、A/Fセンサ8の位置よりも下流側(出口寄り)では、内管部材の単管状出口部13の中心軸線L1が外管部材の単管状出口部23の中心軸線L2から所定距離だけ偏心している。また、A/Fセンサ8の位置よりも上流側では、内管部材の単管状出口部13の断面積がやや絞られているが、その絞り位置における内管部材の単管状出口部13の中心軸線L1’も外管部材の単管状出口部23の中心軸線L2から更に大きく偏心している。その結果として、内管部材の単管状出口部13と外管部材の単管状出口部23との間に確保される横断面略環状の外側排気通路24には、通路断面積が相対的に大きな部分(24a)と、それ以外の通路断面積が相対的に小さな部分とが生まれる。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner pipe member constituting the inner exhaust passage 14 constitutes the outer exhaust passage 24 at the outlet portion (or the latter half portion) of the exhaust collecting portion 5. The inner tube member outlet portion 13 is connected and supported to the inner peripheral wall of the outer tube member outlet portion 23 by the three support ribs 16 in a state of being eccentrically arranged with respect to the single tubular outlet portion 23 of the outer tube member. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, on the downstream side (closer to the outlet) than the position of the A / F sensor 8, the central axis L <b> 1 of the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member is a single tubular outlet of the outer tube member. It is eccentric by a predetermined distance from the central axis L2 of the portion 23. Further, on the upstream side of the position of the A / F sensor 8, the cross-sectional area of the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member is slightly narrowed. The axis L1 ′ is also more eccentric from the central axis L2 of the single tubular outlet 23 of the outer tube member. As a result, the outer exhaust passage 24 having a substantially annular cross section secured between the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member and the single tubular outlet portion 23 of the outer tube member has a relatively large passage sectional area. A part (24a) and a part with a relatively small passage cross-sectional area other than that are born.

そして、排気集合部5には、前記A/Fセンサ8が外管部材20及び内管部材10を貫通するように設けられている。その際、A/Fセンサ8は、排気集合部5の出口部における外側排気通路のうち前記偏心配置によって通路断面積が相対的に大きくなった部分(24a)を占めるように位置決めされている(図4及び図5参照)。A/Fセンサ8は、リング状のセンサボス9を介して外管部材の単管状出口部23を構成する壁部に固定されている。そのA/Fセンサ8の先端部は、内管部材の単管状出口部13に形成された前記開口15内に挿入されて内側排気通路14に露出している。それ故、単一のA/Fセンサ8によって、内側排気通路14及び外側排気通路24の双方を流れる排気ガス中の酸素濃度を検知・測定することができる。   In the exhaust collecting portion 5, the A / F sensor 8 is provided so as to penetrate the outer tube member 20 and the inner tube member 10. At this time, the A / F sensor 8 is positioned so as to occupy a portion (24a) in which the cross-sectional area of the passage is relatively large due to the eccentric arrangement in the outer exhaust passage at the outlet of the exhaust collecting portion 5 ( 4 and 5). The A / F sensor 8 is fixed to a wall portion constituting the single tubular outlet portion 23 of the outer tube member via a ring-shaped sensor boss 9. The front end portion of the A / F sensor 8 is inserted into the opening 15 formed in the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member and exposed to the inner exhaust passage 14. Therefore, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage 14 and the outer exhaust passage 24 can be detected and measured by the single A / F sensor 8.

第1実施形態によれば以下のような効果を得ることができる。
単一のA/Fセンサ8で、排気集合部5における内側排気通路14及び外側排気通路24の双方を流れる排気ガスを同時に検知でき、又、そのセンサ8はデュアル構造の排気集合部5に設置されているので、A/Fセンサ8の設置がデュアル長の短縮原因となることが無く、デュアル長を極力長く確保することができる。
According to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
A single A / F sensor 8 can simultaneously detect the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage 14 and the outer exhaust passage 24 in the exhaust collecting portion 5, and the sensor 8 is installed in the dual structure exhaust collecting portion 5. Therefore, the installation of the A / F sensor 8 does not cause the shortening of the dual length, and the dual length can be secured as long as possible.

外側排気通路24のうち内管部材10の偏心配置によって通路断面積が相対的に大きくなった部分(24a)を占めるようにA/Fセンサ8を設けたので、内側排気通路14を流れる排気ガスのみならず、外側排気通路24を流れる排気ガスに対するセンサ8の接触面積をも十分に確保できる。それ故、A/Fセンサ8の数が一つであっても、その単一のセンサ8によって内側排気通路14及び外側排気通路24の双方を流れる排気ガスの酸素濃度を満遍なく検知・測定することができ、ひいてはエンジン制御等を正確に行うことができる。   Since the A / F sensor 8 is provided in the outer exhaust passage 24 so as to occupy a portion (24a) whose passage cross-sectional area is relatively large due to the eccentric arrangement of the inner pipe member 10, the exhaust gas flowing through the inner exhaust passage 14 Not only that, the contact area of the sensor 8 with the exhaust gas flowing through the outer exhaust passage 24 can be sufficiently secured. Therefore, even if the number of the A / F sensors 8 is one, the single sensor 8 can uniformly detect and measure the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage 14 and the outer exhaust passage 24. As a result, engine control and the like can be performed accurately.

内管部材10により構築される内側排気通路14を流れる排気ガスは、外管部材20により構築される外側排気通路24を流れる排気ガスによって保温され、ほとんど温度低下無く下流側の触媒コンバータに到達するため、排気ガス浄化触媒を早期に活性化することができる。また、この排気装置によれば、その排気集合部5が上述のようなデュアルエキゾースト構造となっているため、4本の分岐管1〜4の等長化を容易に図ることができ、エンジン出力の向上等を図ることができる。   The exhaust gas flowing through the inner exhaust passage 14 constructed by the inner tube member 10 is kept warm by the exhaust gas flowing through the outer exhaust passage 24 constructed by the outer tube member 20, and reaches the downstream catalytic converter with almost no temperature drop. Therefore, the exhaust gas purification catalyst can be activated early. Further, according to this exhaust device, the exhaust collecting portion 5 has the dual exhaust structure as described above, so that the four branch pipes 1 to 4 can be easily lengthened, and the engine output The improvement etc. can be aimed at.

(第2及び第3実施形態)
内管部材10の単管状出口部13を構成する壁部に設けた開口部(前記開口15の類)の形状や大きさを最適化した実施形態として、第2実施形態(図8及び図9)並びに第3実施形態(図10及び図11)を説明する。なお、第2及び第3実施形態における排気集合部5の構成は、図4〜図7に示した第1実施形態の構成と基本的に同じであるが、以下に説明する内管部材の単管状出口部13における開口部の構成において相違する。
(Second and third embodiments)
As an embodiment in which the shape and size of the opening (the kind of the opening 15) provided in the wall portion constituting the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member 10 is optimized, the second embodiment (FIGS. 8 and 9) is used. ) And the third embodiment (FIGS. 10 and 11) will be described. The configuration of the exhaust collecting portion 5 in the second and third embodiments is basically the same as the configuration of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, but a single inner pipe member described below is used. The configuration of the opening in the tubular outlet portion 13 is different.

図8及び図9に示すように第2実施形態にあっては、内管部材10の単管状出口部13を構成する壁部には、単一の船型の開口17が貫通形成されている。船型の開口17は、A/Fセンサ8の先端部を挿通するための略円形状のセンサ挿通用開口部17aと、そのセンサ挿通用開口部17aよりも上流側に位置する略円形状のガス連通孔部17bとを、一つの連続した開口17として構成したものである。ガス連通孔部17bの面積がセンサ挿通用開口部17aの面積よりも小さいために、前記開口17は船型をなしている。   As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in the second embodiment, a single ship-shaped opening 17 is formed through the wall portion constituting the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member 10. The ship-shaped opening 17 includes a substantially circular sensor insertion opening 17a for inserting the tip of the A / F sensor 8 and a substantially circular gas positioned upstream of the sensor insertion opening 17a. The communication hole portion 17 b is configured as one continuous opening 17. Since the area of the gas communication hole 17b is smaller than the area of the sensor insertion opening 17a, the opening 17 has a boat shape.

また、図10及び図11に示すように第3実施形態にあっては、内管部材10の単管状出口部13を構成する壁部には、A/Fセンサ8の先端部を挿通するための円形状のセンサ挿通用開口18と、そのセンサ挿通用開口18よりも上流側に位置する円形状のガス連通孔19とが別々に貫通形成されている。ガス連通孔19の面積は、センサ挿通用開口18の面積よりも小さく設定されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, in the third embodiment, the distal end portion of the A / F sensor 8 is inserted into the wall portion constituting the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner tube member 10. A circular sensor insertion opening 18 and a circular gas communication hole 19 positioned on the upstream side of the sensor insertion opening 18 are separately penetratingly formed. The area of the gas communication hole 19 is set smaller than the area of the sensor insertion opening 18.

船型の開口17におけるガス連通孔部17bと前記ガス連通孔19とはいずれも、センサ挿通用開口部17a又はセンサ挿通用開口18の上流側に位置して、外側排気通路24を流れる排気ガスと内側排気通路14を流れる排気ガスとをA/Fセンサ8の上流位置でミキシングし、ガス流を適度に乱す働きをする。つまり、ガス連通孔部17b又はガス連通孔19が存在することにより、内側排気通路14を流れる排気ガスの一部が当該ガス連通孔部(17b,19)を介して外側排気通路24内に進入可能となる。その結果、A/Fセンサ8の先端軸部の上流側において、ガス流の逆巻きや反転流が生じることにより(図12参照)、外側排気通路24を流れる排気ガスと内側排気通路14を流れる排気ガスとが混じり合い、混合状態の排気ガスがA/Fセンサ8の先端軸部に横当りする。   Both the gas communication hole 17b and the gas communication hole 19 in the boat-shaped opening 17 are located upstream of the sensor insertion opening 17a or the sensor insertion opening 18, and the exhaust gas flowing through the outer exhaust passage 24 The exhaust gas flowing through the inner exhaust passage 14 is mixed at an upstream position of the A / F sensor 8 to appropriately disturb the gas flow. That is, due to the presence of the gas communication hole portion 17b or the gas communication hole 19, a part of the exhaust gas flowing through the inner exhaust passage 14 enters the outer exhaust passage 24 through the gas communication hole portions (17b, 19). It becomes possible. As a result, a reverse or reverse flow of the gas flow is generated on the upstream side of the tip shaft portion of the A / F sensor 8 (see FIG. 12), so that the exhaust gas flowing in the outer exhaust passage 24 and the exhaust gas flowing in the inner exhaust passage 14 are generated. Gas mixes and the exhaust gas in a mixed state strikes the tip shaft portion of the A / F sensor 8 sideways.

図12に示すように、A/Fセンサ8の先端軸部は、センシング部本体81(ガスと接触して起電力を発生する部位)を円筒形カバー材82が覆う筒型構造となっている。円筒形カバー材82は、その外周壁部に設けられた複数のサイド穴83と、該カバー材82の先端頂壁部に設けられた少なくとも一つのトップ穴84とを有している。かかるA/Fセンサ8にあっては、その先端軸部に横当りした排気ガスが一部のサイド穴83を通ってセンサ内に進入し、センシング部本体81に接触した後、トップ穴84及び他のサイド穴83を通ってセンサ外に退出する。それ故、内管部材の単管状出口部13にガス連通孔部17b又はガス連通孔19を追加し、A/Fセンサ8の先端軸部に対する排気ガスの横当り性が向上することにより、単一のA/Fセンサ8によって内側排気通路14及び外側排気通路24の双方を流れる排気ガスを満遍なく検知する性能を高めることができる。   As shown in FIG. 12, the tip shaft portion of the A / F sensor 8 has a cylindrical structure in which a sensing portion main body 81 (a portion that generates electromotive force in contact with gas) is covered with a cylindrical cover member 82. . The cylindrical cover member 82 has a plurality of side holes 83 provided in the outer peripheral wall portion thereof, and at least one top hole 84 provided in the tip top wall portion of the cover member 82. In the A / F sensor 8, the exhaust gas that has laterally contacted the tip shaft portion enters the sensor through a part of the side holes 83, contacts the sensing unit main body 81, and then receives the top hole 84 and Retreat out of the sensor through the other side hole 83. Therefore, the gas communication hole 17b or the gas communication hole 19 is added to the single tubular outlet portion 13 of the inner pipe member, and the lateral contact property of the exhaust gas with respect to the tip shaft portion of the A / F sensor 8 is improved. The performance of uniformly detecting the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage 14 and the outer exhaust passage 24 can be enhanced by the single A / F sensor 8.

また、センサ挿通用開口部17a又はセンサ挿通用開口18の上流側にガス連通孔部17b又はガス連通孔19が存在することにより、外側排気通路24を流れる排気ガスの一部が内側排気通路14内に進入可能となり、A/Fセンサ8の先端軸部のトップ穴84付近を横切る排気ガスの流速Vが高まって前記トップ穴84の外側における負圧が増す。その結果、A/Fセンサ8に横当りした排気ガスが、サイド穴83を通過後センシング部本体81に沿ってトップ穴84に導かれること(即ちセンサ内ガス廻り)が迅速化し、排気ガスがA/Fセンサ8内を迅速に通り抜け可能となる。従って、A/Fセンサ8のガス検出感度が飛躍的に向上すると共に、単一のA/Fセンサ8によって内側排気通路14及び外側排気通路24の双方を流れる排気ガスを満遍なく検知する性能を更に高めることができる。   In addition, since the gas communication hole 17b or the gas communication hole 19 exists upstream of the sensor insertion opening 17a or the sensor insertion opening 18, a part of the exhaust gas flowing through the outer exhaust passage 24 is partly connected to the inner exhaust passage 14. The exhaust gas flow velocity V crossing the vicinity of the top hole 84 of the tip shaft portion of the A / F sensor 8 is increased, and the negative pressure outside the top hole 84 is increased. As a result, the exhaust gas that strikes the A / F sensor 8 passes through the side hole 83 and is guided to the top hole 84 along the sensing unit main body 81 (that is, around the gas in the sensor). It is possible to pass through the A / F sensor 8 quickly. Therefore, the gas detection sensitivity of the A / F sensor 8 is remarkably improved, and the ability to uniformly detect the exhaust gas flowing through both the inner exhaust passage 14 and the outer exhaust passage 24 by the single A / F sensor 8 is further improved. Can be increased.

なお、第2及び第3実施形態において、ガス連通孔部17b又はガス連通孔19の面積は適度な大きさ(又は小ささ)に設定されている(具体的には、センサ挿通用開口部17a又はセンサ挿通用開口18の面積よりも小さく設定されている)ため、必要以上に排気ガス混合が生じることはなく、デュアルエキゾースト構造のメリットが損なわれることもほとんどない。   In the second and third embodiments, the area of the gas communication hole 17b or the gas communication hole 19 is set to an appropriate size (or small) (specifically, the sensor insertion opening 17a). (Or, it is set to be smaller than the area of the sensor insertion opening 18), the exhaust gas is not mixed more than necessary, and the merit of the dual exhaust structure is hardly impaired.

上記第1〜第3実施形態では、分岐管1〜4を二重管構造のものとしたが、これらは単管構造の分岐管であってもよい。また、製造コストを低減するため、例えば#1番及び#4番の二気筒に対応する分岐管1,4については二重管構造を採用する一方、その他の分岐管2,3については単管構造を採用するようにしてもよい。
(Modification) The embodiment of the present invention may be modified as follows.
In the said 1st-3rd embodiment, although the branch pipes 1-4 were made into the thing of a double pipe structure, the branch pipe of a single pipe structure may be sufficient.

The branch pipes 2 and 3 corresponding to the two cylinders may be connected to the inlet portions 11 and 12 of the inner pipe member 10.
