Abstract

The contact surface of the nut (3) on the pipe (5) is determined by the outer diameter of the pipe. The nut has a threaded socket of wire thread insert (7) of high temperature-resistant material, with or without iron contents. The probe is screwed into the socket/insert.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mutter zur Befestigung einer Lambdasonde am Auspuffrohr eines Fahrzeuges.The invention relates to a nut for fastening a lambda sensor to the exhaust pipe of a vehicle.

Bekannt sind Muttern, die beim Befestigen am Auspuffrohr von Fahrzeugen einige Nachteile aufweisen,beispielsweise, daß sie aus dem gleichen Werkstoff wie das Auspuffrohr gefertigt sein müssen, weil die Befestigung durch Schweißen erfolgt, daß zum Schweißen erhebliche Mengen Schweißmaterial benötigt werden, da der Zwischenraum zwischen der planen Mutterunterseite und der Rohraußenseite aufgefüllt werden muß und daß oft nach dem Schweißvorgang das Muttergewinde nachgeschnitten werden muß, weil sich durch das Schweißen die Gewindegänge verformt haben. Ferner ist bei bekannten Muttern das Auswechseln der Sonde erschwert, da bei den hohen Arbeitstemperaturen, Oxidationsvorgängen, Schmutzablagerungen, Festfressen der Sonde im Muttergewinde usw. ein schadensfreier Ausbau oft nicht möglich ist.Nuts are known which have some disadvantages when attached to the exhaust pipe of vehicles, for example that they have to be made of the same material as the exhaust pipe, because the attachment is carried out by welding, that considerable amounts of welding material are required for welding, since the space between the flat underside of the nut and the outside of the pipe must be filled in and that the nut thread often has to be re-cut after the welding process because the threads have been deformed by the welding. In the case of known nuts, it is also difficult to replace the probe, since damage-free removal is often not possible with the high working temperatures, oxidation processes, dirt deposits, seizure of the probe in the nut thread, etc.

Um die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden, ist die Unterseite einer erfindungsgemäßen Mutter entsprechend dem Außendurchmesser des Rohres geformt, an dem die Mutter befestigt werden soll, und kann die Mutter an der Unterseite einen Kragen aufweisen, mit dem sie in einer Bohrung des Rohres positioniert wird.. Diese Mutter wird mit dem Rohr verschweißt.In order to avoid the disadvantages mentioned, the underside of a nut according to the invention is shaped in accordance with the outside diameter of the tube to which the nut is to be fastened, and the nut can have a collar on the underside with which it is positioned in a bore in the tube. This nut is welded to the pipe.

Ferner kann die Mutter mit einer Gewindebuchse oder einem Drahtgewindeeinsatz aus Eisen- oder Nichteisenmetall versehen sein, das insbesondere hochtemperaturbeständig ist..Furthermore, the nut can be provided with a threaded bush or a wire thread insert made of ferrous or non-ferrous metal, which is particularly resistant to high temperatures.

Die erfindungsgemäße Mutter sitzt auf dem Rohr formschlüssig auf, die zwischen der Unterseite der Mutter und dem Rohr bei flachen Muttern vorhandenen Hohlräume sind vermieden und Fehlausrichtungen zwischen der Bohrungsachse im Rohr und der Mutter sind verhindert. Ferner werden beim Verschweißen der Mutter die Gewindegänge nicht verformt und läßt sich insbesondere bei Verwendung einer Gewindebuchse oder Drahtgewindeeinsatz aus NE Metall , die eingeschraubte Lambdasonde leicht auswechseln.The nut according to the invention sits positively on the tube, the cavities present between the underside of the nut and the tube in flat nuts are avoided and misalignments between the bore axis in the tube and the nut are prevented. Furthermore, when welding the nut the threads are not deformed and the screwed-in lambda probe can be easily replaced, especially when using a threaded bushing or wire thread insert made of non-ferrous metal.

Die Zeichnung zeigt:

Fig. 1
ein Auspuffrohr mit Bohrung zur Befestigung einer erfindungsgemäßen Mutter bzw. einer bekannten Mutter;
Fig. 2
einen Schnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Mutter,
Fig. 3
einen Schnitt durch die bekannte Mutter.
The drawing shows:
Fig. 1
an exhaust pipe with a bore for fastening a nut according to the invention or a known nut;
Fig. 2
a section through a mother according to the invention,
Fig. 3
a cut by the well-known mother.

In Fig. 1 der Zeichnung ist eine bekannte Mutter 1 mit einer ebenen Unterseite 2 dargestellt, die in eine Bohrung 6 eines Auspuffrohres 5 einsetzbar ist.In Fig. 1 of the drawing, a known nut 1 is shown with a flat underside 2, which can be inserted into a bore 6 of an exhaust pipe 5.

Die erfindungsgemäße Mutter 3 hingegen besitzt eine Unterseite 4, die dem Außendurchmesser des Auspuffrohrs 5 angepaßt ist. Damit sitzt die Mutter 3 flächig auf dem Rohr 5 auf.The nut 3 according to the invention, however, has an underside 4 which is adapted to the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe 5. So that the mother 3 sits flat on the tube 5.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Schnitt der Mutter 3, mit der dem Außendurchmesser des Rohres 5 angepaßten Unterseite 4. An der Unterseite 4 kann ein Kragen angeformt sein, der die Mutter 3 in der Bohrung 6 zentriert und ebenfalls in einem Kreisbogen verläuft und damit nicht auf der Innenseite des Rohres 5 übersteht. Ferner ist die Mutter 3 mit einem Drahtgewindeeinsatz oder einer Gewindebuchse versehen, in die eine nicht dargestellte Sonde eingeschraubt wird.Fig. 2 shows a section of the nut 3, with the underside 4 adapted to the outer diameter of the tube 5. A collar can be formed on the underside 4, which centers the nut 3 in the bore 6 and also runs in an arc and thus does not extend protrudes the inside of the tube 5. Furthermore, the nut 3 is provided with a wire thread insert or a threaded bush, into which a probe, not shown, is screwed.

Fig. 3 zeigt die bekannte Mutter 1 mit planer Unterseite, was zu den geschilderten Nachteilen führt.Fig. 3 shows the known nut 1 with a flat underside, which leads to the disadvantages described.
