Abstract

The exhaust gas stirring device comprises a cylindrical frame on an inner surface of a flow path member forming an exhaust flow path; supporting parts arranged to radially reach across the frame; a shielding part shielding a central axis of the frame and its circumference in the axis direction of the frame. One of the supporting parts comprises a pair of first skeletons extending radially outwardly from the central axis of the frame. The frame and the supporting parts are configured by assembling assembling members. One of the assembling members comprises the pair of first skeletons, and second skeletons respectively extending in an arc shape from one end of each of the first skeletons and constituting a part of the frame. Each of the first skeletons and the second skeletons in the assembling members comprises a vane part formed to protrude respectively from each of the first and second skeletons.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An exhaust gas stirring device that stirs an exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust flow path, comprising:
a frame in a cylindrical shape arranged on an inner surface of a flow path member that forms the exhaust flow path;
supporting parts arranged to reach across the frame in a radial direction;
a shielding part intersecting and orthogonal to a central axis of the frame to block flow near the central axis,
wherein a first one of the supporting parts comprises a pair of first skeletons that extends outwardly from the central axis of the frame in a radial direction,
wherein the frame and the supporting parts are configured by combining assembling members,
wherein a first one of the assembling members comprises the pair of first skeletons, and second skeletons that are respectively extended in an arc shape from one end of each one of the pair of first skeletons and constitute a part of the frame,
wherein each skeleton comprises a respective vane part that is formed to protrude, and
wherein each first skeleton includes a respective shielding piece that is bent orthogonal to the central axis, such that the shielding pieces combine to form the shielding part.

2. The exhaust gas stirring device according to claim 1 , wherein the first one of the assembling members comprises the first one of the supporting parts having the pair of first skeletons, and a pair of the second skeletons respectively extended in an arc shape from both ends of the first one of the supporting parts.

3. The exhaust gas stirring device according to claim 2 ,
wherein, in the first one of the assembling members, the vane parts disposed respectively on the pair of first skeletons are each formed in a first shape, and the vane parts disposed respectively on the pair of the second skeletons are each formed in a second shape.

4. The exhaust gas stirring device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the plurality of assembling members, all of the vane parts disposed on the pair of first skeletons are each formed in the first shape, and all of the vane parts disposed on the second skeletons are each formed in the second shape.

5. The exhaust gas stirring device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first one of the assembling members is formed by bending a single plate member.

6. The exhaust gas stirring device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting parts are spaced at equal intervals so that distances between each of the supporting parts in the circumferential direction of the frame are equal.

7. An exhaust gas stirring device that stirs an exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust flow path, comprising:
assembling members combined to form:
a frame in a cylindrical shape arranged on an inner surface of a flow path member that forms the exhaust flow path;
supporting parts arranged to radially extend across the frame; and
a shielding part intersecting and orthogonal to a central axis of the frame to block axial flow of exhaust gas near the central axis of the frame,

wherein each of the assembling members comprises a pair of first skeletons, and second skeletons, each first skeleton extending radially outward from a central axis of the frame to collectively form at least a portion of the supporting parts, and each second skeleton extending from one end of one of the first skeletons in an arc shape to collectively form at least a portion of the frame,
wherein each of the first skeletons and the second skeletons comprises a respective vane part protruding therefrom, and
wherein each first skeleton includes a respective shielding piece orthogonal to the central axis to collectively form at least a portion of the shielding part.
