Vehicular exhaust pipe structure

A vehicular exhaust pipe structure includes an outer pipe extending along a front-rear direction of a vehicle and an inner pipe disposed inside the outer pipe along an axial direction of the outer pipe. The inner pipe is joined to the outer pipe such that a vacuum layer is formed between the inner pipe and the outer pipe. The inner pipe includes a pseudo-cylindrical concave polyhedral shell-shaped part.

Adjustable Mounting for Exhaust Treatment Component
20200347772 · 2020-11-05 · ·

An exhaust treatment component may be mounted in brackets, each bracket having a clamping surface which in a use orientation is arranged in parallel with a corresponding mounting surface of a fixed mount, the mounting surfaces defining adjustment planes which are spaced apart along a length axis of the mount. Each bracket may be adjusted independently in its use orientation to define a variable clamping position in the adjustment plane. In another aspect, the component may be mounted in one or more brackets, each bracket comprising curved contact surface, each surface being defined by an arc of a respective circle, each arc being contained in the circle of the other respective arc, whereby the centre points of the respective circles are spaced apart in the reference plane so that each arc is contained in the circle of the other respective arc. The component can be clamped to the bracket irrespective of its diameter.

Drive system for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle having the drive system

A drive system for driving a motor vehicle is provided. The drive system includes a first turbocharger, a second turbocharger, and an internal combustion engine. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger are, for the drive of the motor vehicle, operatively connected to the internal combustion engine. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger are, in a height direction of a crankcase of the internal combustion engine, arranged one above the other in a defined corridor adjacent to the crankcase. The invention also provides a motor vehicle including the drive system.

Working vehicle

A working vehicle includes an engine, an air blowing device, an exhaust gas post-processing device, and a guide device. The air blowing device is disposed in front of the engine. The exhaust gas post-processing device processes exhaust gas from the engine, and is disposed above the engine. The guide device lifts and guides at least portion of the air from the air blowing device to an upper side where the exhaust gas post-processing device is provided.

Vehicle exhaust system

A vehicle exhaust system includes a vehicle body structure, an exhaust system, a rear bumper assembly, an exhaust finisher and a boot. The exhaust assembly is supported to an underside of the vehicle body structure. The rear bumper assembly is also supported to the vehicle body structure. The exhaust finisher is non-movably attached to one of the vehicle body structure and the rear bumper assembly. The exhaust finisher extends at least part way through an opening of the rear bumper assembly. The boot has a first end, a second end, and a flexible portion. The first end is attached to a rear end of the exhaust assembly. The second end is attached to a forward end of the exhaust finisher and the flexible portion extends from the trout end to the second end. The flexible portion is elastically deformable in response to thermal expansion and contraction of the exhaust assembly.

EXHAUST DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF SADDLED VEHICLE
20200318509 · 2020-10-08 ·

An exhaust device for an internal combustion engine of a saddled vehicle includes an exhaust muffler disposed on an outer side of a rear wheel so as to overlap the rear wheel when viewed from a side a muffler protector which covers the muffler. The muffler protector includes an inner protector half body covering the exhaust muffler from the rear wheel side and an outer protector half body covering the exhaust muffler from a vehicle outer side opposite to the rear wheel The inner protector half body is detachably mounted on the exhaust muffler or the outer protector half body while maintaining a state in which the outer protector half body is mounted on the exhaust muffler.

Exhaust device for internal combustion engine

An exhaust muffler includes a first muffler section connected to an exhaust pipe and a second muffler section connected to the first muffler section. Exhaust gases delivered from the exhaust pipe are discharged from the first muffler section and the second muffler section out of the exhaust muffler. The first muffler section includes a tubular member made up of an inner pipe to which the exhaust pipe is connected and an outer pipe covering the inner pipe, and a connector connecting the tubular member and the second muffler section to each other. The first muffler section has a first expansion chamber defined therein between the inner pipe and the outer pipe. The inner pipe houses therein a valve for changing an amount of exhaust gases passing through the inner pipe. The first muffler section includes a curved portion that is curved vertically as viewed in side elevation of the vehicle. The exhaust muffler has a second expansion chamber defined in the second muffler section rearward and upward of the first muffler section, the second expansion chamber having a cross-sectional area larger than a cross-sectional area of the first expansion chamber. There is thus provided an exhaust device for an internal combustion engine, which includes a muffler compact in a longitudinal direction thereof.

VEHICLE UNDERBODY STRUCTURE

A vehicle underbody structure includes a catalyst disposed in a front portion of an exhaust pipe; a cover member for covering the catalyst from above; and a heat insulator disposed inside a tunnel portion behind the catalyst and configured to cover the exhaust pipe from above. The heat insulator is disposed away from the tunnel portion by a predetermined gap in an up-down direction. A front portion of the heat insulator and a rear portion of the cover member are disposed in such a way as to overlap each other. A front end of the heat insulator is disposed on the upper side with respect to a rear end of the cover member.
