Abstract

The present invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment device for an exhaust system of a combustion engine, more preferably of a motor vehicle with a housing comprising a jacket and an outlet funnel, with at least one exhaust gas treatment element which is arranged in the jacket and which via a support ring is axially supported on the housing, wherein the outlet funnel comprises an outer funnel and an inner funnel. A simplified design is obtained if the outer funnel at an inner end facing the jacket is connected to the jacket in a fixed manner and at an outer end facing away from the jacket is connected in a fixed manner to the inner funnel, and if between the inner funnel and the outer funnel an insulation space circumferentially running in circumferential direction is formed and the inner funnel at an inner end facing the jacket carries the support ring and relative to the outer funnel is at least axially loose.

Claims (35)

1. An exhaust gas treatment device for an exhaust system of a combustion engine, more preferably of a motor vehicle, comprising:

with a housing comprising a jacket and an outlet funnel,

with at least one exhaust gas treatment element arranged in the jacket and which is axially supported on the housing via a support ring,

wherein the outlet funnel comprises an outer funnel and a one-piece inner funnel,

wherein the outer funnel is connected to the jacket at an inner end facing the jacket in a fixed manner and at an outer end facing away from the jacket is connected to the inner funnel in a fixed manner,

wherein between the inner funnel and the outer funnel an insulation space running circumferentially in circumferential direction is formed,

wherein the inner funnel at an inner end facing the jacket carries the support ring and relative to the outer funnel is at least axially loose.

2. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

the inner end of the inner funnel is formed as integral holder for the support ring.

3. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein

the holder comprises an annular disc shaped support bottom on which the support ring supports itself axially and which stands away from the inner funnel radially to the outside.

4. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein

the holder comprises a ring-shaped holding collar on which the support ring supports itself radially outside and which stands away from the inner funnel axially to the inside.

5. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein

the holding collar is formed on the support bottom.

6. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

the inner end of the inner funnel is radially spaced from the inner end of the outer funnel.

7. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

the inner end of the inner funnel is radially spaced from the inner end of the outer funnel closed along the circumference.

8. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

the two outer ends of the funnels are fastened to each other through a welded connection.

9. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 8 , wherein

the welded connection is configured as circumferential weld seam at the face end.

10. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

the two outer ends of the funnels are fastened to a sleeve arranged coaxially thereto.

11. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 10 , wherein

the two outer ends of the funnels are fastened to the sleeve through a welded connection.

12. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 11 , wherein

the welded connection is configured as circumferential weld seam which connects the two outer ends of the funnels to the outside or to the inside of the sleeve at the face end.

13. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

in the insulation space a thermally insulating insulation material is arranged.

14. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein

in the insulation space an insulation body is arranged, which radially supports itself on the outside on the outer funnel and radially on the inside on the inner funnel and which consists of a thermally insulating insulation material.

15. The exhaust gas treatment device according to claim 14 , wherein

the insulation body axially supports the inner funnel in the region of the support ring at an inner end facing the jacket.
