Patent number: 6173808Abstract: An expansion chamber, and first and second volume chambers on either side of said expansion chamber, are formed inside a muffler housing. Engine exhaust is led by an inlet tube to the first volume chamber, and an opening facing the expansion chamber is formed in an intermediate part of the inlet tube. Exhaust in the second volume chamber is discharged outside by a tail tube, and an opening is formed facing the expansion chamber in an intermediate part of the tail tube. A valve is provided for leading exhaust from the first volume chamber to the second volume chamber according to a pressure difference between the chambers. This forms two exhaust flowpaths. A resonance system with two degrees of freedom is thereby formed with respect to exhaust discharged via the two openings and the expansion chamber, and a high noise silencing efficiency is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1997Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazushige Maeda, Akira Sasaki, Takao Kubozuka, Haruki Yashiro

Patent number: 5984045Abstract: The inner area of a muffler of an engine is partitioned into an expansion chamber, a first volume chamber and a second volume chamber. An inlet tube and the first volume chamber are connected by a first passage. The first volume chamber and a second volume chamber are connected by a second passage, and the second volume chamber and expansion chamber are connected by a third passage. The flow of exhaust gas reaching the expansion chamber via the first passage, second passage and third passage is blocked by a valve which opens according to a pressure rise of the exhaust gas. One of the two acoustic paths formed when the valve is open functions as a resonator having two degrees of freedom relative to the other path so that a high muffling effect is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1998Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazushige Maeda, Akira Sasaki

Patent number: 5739483Abstract: A first and second noise suppressing mechanism are provided inside the muffler. Each mechanism is provided with a discharge pipe for discharging exhaust gas to outside the muffler. The first noise suppressing mechanism reduces exhaust noise in the low engine speed region. The second noise suppressing mechanism reduces noise in the medium and high engine speed regions. A valve is provided that connects the first noise suppressing mechanism and second noise suppressing mechanism according to the engine exhaust pressure. In the low speed region, the valve is closed and exhaust gas is discharged via the first noise suppressing mechanism where mainly low frequency noise is eliminated. In the medium and high speed regions, the valve is opened and exhaust gas is also discharged via the second noise suppressing mechanism where high frequency noise specific in these regions is also eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1997Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Haruki Yashiro, Akira Sasaki, Kazushige Maeda

Patent number: 5723827Abstract: A plurality of chambers are partitioned in a muffler by a baffle board. The muffler is provided with an exhaust gas passage for discharging exhaust gas outside the muffler via these chambers and a valve that bypasses a part of the exhaust passage. This valve opens according to the exhaust gas pressure. Also provided are a mechanism for pushing the valve in a closing direction, and a mechanism for damping the shock when the valve closes. Thus, valve closing noise is suppressed, and exhaust gas noise is further suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1995Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Sasaki, Kazushige Maeda, Haruki Yashiro
