Publication number: 20230147384Abstract: A casing constituting a housing type pipe joint is divided into an inner casing which externally fits to a sealing member to restrain a shape of a sealing member and an outer casing which is prepared outside the inner casing, engages with a pair of tubular members with their tube ends opposing each other inside the sealing member and presses the inner casing against the sealing member, these inner and outer casings being constituted by plural segments, each of which is formed as an integrated object from a metal plate, and a plate thickness of the inner casing is equal to or larger than a plate thickness of the outer casing. Thereby, a housing type pipe joint which can achieve both a function to restrain a shape of a sealing member and a function to engage tubular members at a sufficiently high level and is compact and lightweight is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: SANGO CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazumi BABA, Jin WAKAMATSU, Masashi OTA

Patent number: 8359846Abstract: An exhaust manifold includes: a double collecting pipe formed of inner and outer pipes; and an inner pipe retainer formed of a pair of semi-circular portions and a connecting portion. The inner pipe includes a collecting pipe portion and bifurcated branch pipe portions. The outer pipe covers outer peripheral portions of the collecting and branch pipe portions. The semi-circular portions are respectively connected to outer peripheral portions of branched branch pipe portions and an inner peripheral portion of the outer pipe. The connecting portion connects the semi-circular portions. The inner pipe retainer is interposed between the inner pipe and the outer pipe and is connected to the inner pipe and the outer pipe to define a certain gap therebetween. Exhaust gas from exhaust ports of a set of cylinders among a plurality of cylinders of an engine is introduced into the collecting pipe portion through the branch pipe portions.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuyuki Murakami, Hiroshi Hosoi, Hitoshi Shimamura, Jin Wakamatsu, Katsumi Yagi, Kimihiro Jinno, Tatsuki Fukagawa

Patent number: 8201584Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust pipe that can lower the temperature of exhaust gases when the exhaust gases having a high temperature pass through the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe of the present invention, which allows exhaust gases to flow through the exhaust pipe, comprises a base that contains metal and has a cylindrical shape; and a surface-coating layer that contains a plurality of crystalline inorganic materials and an amorphous binder and is formed on the outer peripheral face of the base, wherein the plurality of crystalline inorganic materials are distributed in the surface-coating layer, in an accumulative manner in a thickness direction, and the amorphous binder has an average thickness of 20 ?m or less at a location nearer the outer peripheral face of the exhaust pipe than a location of the crystalline inorganic materials.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2008Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignees: Ibiden Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasutaka Ito, Jin Wakamatsu

Publication number: 20120148853Abstract: An insulator disposed in opposition to an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine with spacing therebetween is constituted as follows. A metal base having heat resistance is provided, a surface covering layer obtained by surface treatment is not provided on a first region of an outer surface of the base, the outer surface being on the side that is not in opposition to the exhaust manifold, and a surface covering layer obtained by the surface treatment is provided on a second region. The first region of the outer surface of the base is a region in opposition to peripheral components disposed in the vicinity of the outer surface of the base. In this case, the material of the base is aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the surface treatment performed on the outer surface of the base is black alumite treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2009Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicants: IBIDEN CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Jin Wakamatsu, Hisashi Ando, Kenzo Saiki

Publication number: 20110000575Abstract: An exhaust pipe devised to, at the flow of high-temperature exhaust gas through the exhaust pipe, lower the temperature of the exhaust gas. The exhaust pipe has the following characteristics. The exhaust pipe has a tubular base material of metal and, provided on the outer circumferential surface of the base material, a surface coating layer composed of a crystalline inorganic material and an amorphous binder material. In the surface coating layer, the crystalline inorganic material is distributed in the state of being multiply stacked one upon another in the direction of thickness of the surface coating layer. The average thickness of the amorphous binder material located on the side of outer circumferential surface relative to the crystalline inorganic material is 20 ?m or less. The exhaust gas flows through the interior of the pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2008Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicants: IBIDEN CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasutaka Ito, Jin Wakamatsu

Patent number: 7487634Abstract: An exhaust gas control apparatus that includes a pressure difference sensor that detects the difference in pressure between the upstream side and the downstream side of a particulate filter (DPNR catalyst), which captures particulate matter that is present in exhaust gas. In the exhaust gas control apparatus, the pipes that introduce the pressure to the pressure difference sensor include an upstream pipe that introduces the pressure on the upstream side of the particulate filter to the pressure difference sensor. The upstream pipe includes an expanded pipe portion, which has an inner diameter greater than that of the portion of the upstream pipe near the pressure difference sensor, near the particulate filter. With this configuration, the deposition of particulate matter, soot, soluble organic fractions, and the like in the upstream pipe is suppressed, which minimizes clogging of the upstream pipe.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2005Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Jin Wakamatsu
