- the reflected light travels in the direction of the downstream opening end 28b in the same manner as the incident wave, and is re-reflected by the plate 41 in the same manner as the incident wave. Such reflection is repeated and a standing wave is generated.
- the reason why the open end reflection occurs at the downstream open end 28b is as follows. That is, the pressure of the exhaust gas flowing in the tail pipe 28 is high, and the atmospheric pressure outside the downstream opening end 28b of the tail pipe 28 is lower than the pressure of the exhaust gas flowing in the tail pipe 28. For this reason, the incident wave rushes out to the atmosphere from the downstream opening end 28b, thereby generating a low pressure portion where the pressure of the exhaust gas in the downstream opening end 28b is lowered, and this low pressure portion passes through the tail pipe 28 in the upstream opening end 28a. It is because it begins to progress toward.
- the reflected wave becomes a plane wave in the opposite direction to the incident wave and travels in the opposite direction to the incident wave.
- the reason why the reflected wave is generated on the upstream opening end 28a side is the same as the reason why the reflected wave is generated on the downstream opening end 28b.

- a standing wave can be generated between the opening of the upstream opening end 28a of the tail pipe 28 and the opening 41d of the downstream opening end 28b.
- the standing wave has an opening at the upstream opening end 28a and an opening 41d at the downstream opening end 28b of the tail pipe 28 when the tube length L of the tail pipe 28 and the wavelength ⁇ of the standing wave have a specific relationship.

- the primary component f 1 of the exhaust sound due to the air column resonance of the tail pipe 28 is 66 based on the above equation (12). .7 Hz, the secondary component f 2 is 133.3 Hz, and the sound pressure level (dB) of the exhaust sound by the primary component f 1 and the secondary component f 2 of the resonance frequency due to the air column resonance corresponding to the rotational speed of the engine 21. Becomes higher.
- N 4 in the above-described equation (3), and when the engine speed Ne is 2000 rpm, exhaust is caused by air column resonance of the primary component f 1. increases acoustic sound pressure level (dB) is the sound pressure level of the engine speed Ne is 4000rpm exhaust sound by air column resonance of the secondary component f 2 at (dB) increases.

Abstract
Description
式(1)から明らかなように、共鳴室7bの容積Vを大きくしたり、センターパイプ6の突出部分の長さL1を長くして共鳴周波数を低周波数側にチューニングしたり、共鳴室7bの容積Vを小さくしたり、センターパイプ6の突出部分の長さL1を短くして共鳴周波数を高周波数側にチューニングするようにしている。
ただし、c:音速(m/s) L:テールパイプの管長(m) n:次数
式(2)から明らかなように、音速cは、温度に応じた一定の値となるので、テールパイプ8の管長Lが長い程、気柱共鳴周波数faが低周波数側に移行して、低周波領域において、排気音の気柱共鳴による騒音の問題が起き易くなってしまうことがわかる。
ただし、Ne:エンジン回転数(rpm)、N:エンジンの気筒数(自然数)
また、特定のエンジン回転数Neに対応して発生した気柱共鳴による排気音の一次成分f1で排気音の音圧レベル(dB)が著しく高くなっている。また、二次成分f2でも排気音の音圧レベル(dB)が著しく高くなっている。
図1ないし図13は、本発明に係る内燃機関の排気装置の第1実施形態を示す図である。
まず、構成を説明する。
本第1実施形態に係るマフラ27は、本発明に係る内燃機関の排気装置の消音器を構成している。
したがって、点Paと点Pbとの間の軸線方向の距離L2は、次式(5)で表される。
一般に、断面積が一定のパイプ内を通過する音波は、平面波となって進行するが、その断面積が変化すると、その変化した部分で音波の反射が起きることが知られている。
しかしながら、その断面積が変化した場合でも、その変化した部分が、このような円錐部38cを備えていると、排気音がテールパイプ28に入射し、その入射波が、円錐部38cを通過する際、排気音の平面波の変化が抑制され、円錐部38c内で反射が抑制されるようになっている。
排気装置20の上流側のエンジン21が始動されると、エンジン21の各気筒から排気される排気ガスは、排気マニホールド22から触媒コンバータ24に導入され、触媒コンバータ24によってNOxの還元やCO、HCの酸化が行われる。
ここで、下流開口端28b側に形成された拡径構造38によって、プレート41の開口部41dを含む側面部41bの総面積S1が、テールパイプ28の断面積よりも大きくなっているが、拡径構造38が、前述の円錐部38cを有しているので、拡径構造38内で、排気音が反射することを抑制することができる。
したがって、テールパイプ28に入射した排気音は、拡径構造38内を通過する際、反射することなく、確実にプレート41の反射面部41fに到達する。
このように、入射波の反射が繰り返されることで、テールパイプ28の上流開口端28aの開口および下流開口端28bの開口部41dとの間で定在波ができることになる。
これに対し、閉口端反射は、図11に示すように、テールパイプ28の管長Lを1/4波長とした周波数の気柱共鳴を基本成分として、このときの基本波長を奇数で割った長さの波長の気柱共鳴が発生するものであり、テールパイプ28の上流開口端28aから管内に入射された入射波が閉口端で入射波と180°異なる位相で反射するものである。
すなわち、図9に示すグラフと同様に、排気音の音圧レベル(dB)は、エンジン回転数Ne(rpm)が増大するのに伴って一次成分f1、二次成分f2の共鳴周波数(Hz)に対応するエンジン回転数Neで増大する。
そして、プレート41に開口部41dが形成されるので、プレート41によって下流開口端28bに開口部41dだけでなく閉口部41eも画成されることになる。
このように下流開口端28bに閉口部41eも画成されるようにすれば、エンジン21の運転時の排気脈動による入射波が、テールパイプ28内に入射し下流開口端28bに到達した際、テールパイプ28の下流開口端28bから反射される反射波を、次のように分配することができる。
このような拡径構造38およびプレート41を、テールパイプ28の上流開口端28aおよび下流開口端28bの両方に設けた構造、および、テールパイプ28の上流開口端28aのみに設けた構造においても、上記と同様の作用効果を得ることができる。
図14ないし図20に示すように、本第2実施形態に係る排気装置60は、第1実施形態に係る排気装置20と同様に構成されている。
なお、第2実施形態に係る排気装置60においては、第1実施形態に係る排気装置20のマフラ27のテールパイプ28が異なっているが、他の構成要素は同様に構成されている。したがって、同一の構成については、図1ないし図13に示した第1実施形態と同一の符号を用いて説明し、特に相違点についてのみ詳述する。
まず、構成を説明する。
この場合、拡径された各断面の中心が、テールパイプ68の軸線Lpと同一になっている。すなわち、図20に示すように、断面積S0の断面、断面積S0の断面、断面積Sxの断面、断面積SLの断面のそれぞれの中心は、軸線Lpと同一になっている。
この拡径構造78は、エクスポネンシャル形状部78cを備えているので、排気音がテールパイプ68に入射し、その入射波が、プレート41に到達する際、拡径構造78内で反射が起きないよう確実に抑制されるようになっている。
しかしながら、その断面積が変化した場合でも、その変化した部分が指数曲線に基づく次式(15)で表されるエクスポネンシャル形状で形成されると、0≦x≦Lの範囲における位置xの指数曲線に基づいて断面積Sxが変化することになる。
ここで、coshは、ハイパボリックコサイン、sinhはハイパボリックサイン、mは前述の式(14)で表される関数、Sxは、このハイパボリック形状に基づくxの位置におけるハイパボリック形状部の断面積、Tは、0ないし∞をそれぞれ表す。
排気装置60の上流側のエンジン21が始動されると、エンジン21の各気筒から排気される排気ガスは、第1実施形態と同様に、拡径構造78の先端部78bに設けられたプレート41の開口部41dを通って大気に排出される。
ここで、下流開口端68bに形成された拡径構造78によって、プレート41の開口部41dを含む側面部41bの総面積S1が、テールパイプ68の断面積よりも大きくなっているが、拡径構造78が、前述のエクスポネンシャル形状部78cを有しており、拡径構造78内で、ほぼ完全な平面波として伝播するので、排気音が反射してしまい、プレート41の反射面部41fに到達しないことが防止される。したがって、テールパイプ68に入射した排気音は、拡径構造78内を通過する際に、反射による損失を受けることなく、確実にプレート41の反射面部41fに到達する。
このような拡径構造78およびプレート41を、テールパイプ68の上流開口端68aおよび下流開口端68bの両方に設けた構造、および、テールパイプ68の上流開口端68aのみに設けた構造においても、上記と同様の作用効果を得ることができる。
図21ないし図23は、第3実施形態に係るテールパイプ110を示す図である。
第3実施形態に係るテールパイプ110は、図21に示すように、第2実施形態に係る排気装置60のテールパイプ68に対して、貫通孔78dを新たに設けたものである。この貫通孔78dは、プレート41の開口部41dでの開口端反射における入射波の反射位置を補正するために設けられたものであり、以下、この開口端補正について説明する。
一般に、このようなパイプの開口端反射がある場合、厳密にはパイプ内で発生する気柱共鳴における気柱の長さは、パイプの両端で画成される実際のパイプの気柱の長さよりも長くなることが知られている。開口端反射の場合は、実際の音波の反射位置が、パイプから所定の距離だけ離隔した位置になるからである。
したがって、開口端補正を考慮した気柱の長さLhは、Lh=L+2ΔLで表される。
すなわち、前述のようにテールパイプP内を伝播する進行波は、下流開口端bのから下流側にΔLだけ離隔した位置で実際に反射し、この反射波は、上流開口端aから上流側にΔLだけ離隔した位置で実際に反射することになる。このような両端が開口するテールパイプPにおいては、下流開口端bおよび上流開口端aから外側にもテールパイプP内の排気ガスと同じ温度(℃)を有する同様の排気ガスが存在しており、厳密には音のエネルギ(J)は、テールパイプPから排出される下流開口端bおよび上流開口端a近傍の外側にも伝達されてしまう。
図25および図26は、第4実施形態に係るテールパイプ120を示す図である。
図25に示すように、第2実施形態に係るテールパイプ68が、円形の断面を有しているのに対して、本第4実施形態に係るテールパイプ120は、略楕円形の断面を有している。また、テールパイプ120には、その排気方向下流側に拡径構造121およびプレート部122が一体的に形成されている。

図29は、第6実施形態に係るテールパイプ140を示す図である。
第6実施形態に係るテールパイプ140は、図29に示すように、第2実施形態に係るテールパイプ68が拡径構造78および中央部に1つの開口部41dが形成されたプレート41を有しているのに対して、本第6実施形態に係るテールパイプ140は、排気方向下流側に拡径構造78および中央部に複数の貫通孔141aが形成されたプレート141を有している。

図30および図31は、第7実施形態に係るテールパイプ150を示す図である。
