Publication number: 20190376430Abstract: Provided are gas dispersion portion 7C covering entry end face of selective reduction catalyst 4 (aftertreatment device) and introducing exhaust gas 1 through exhaust feed port 11 from direction substantially perpendicular to axis of aftertreatment device and mixing pipe 7B (exhaust conduit) curved from exhaust feed port 11 in the gas dispersion portion 7C toward exit side of the selective reduction catalyst 4 to extend axially of aftertreatment device. Gas dispersion portion 7C is of crushingly deformed shape to ensure area from exhaust feed port 11 to vicinity of extension of axis of the selective reduction catalyst 4 as fan-likely spreading flow guide space 12, remaining area being flat throttling space 13 close to entry end face of selective reduction catalyst 4. Boundary between throttling and flow guide spaces 13 and 12 in crushing deformed shape is formed as arc-like taper slope 14.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2018Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: HINO MOTORS, LTD.Inventors: Tomoyuki TSURUTA, Hirofumi TONGU, Kuniharu TOBE

Patent number: 9822740Abstract: An air intake duct 8 is fixed to a rear of a cab 3 of a transport vehicle to extend vertically, air intakes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e and 6f being opened on an upper portion of the air intake duct for suction of fresh air through the intakes as engine intake air. The air intake duct 8 is constituted by a blow-molded duct body 9 and an internal partition component 10 enclosed in the duct body in blow molding of the duct body 9 to partition an interior of the duct body 9 into a plurality of channels A, B, C, D, E and F reaching the air intakes.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignees: HINO MOTORS, LTD., EXCELL CORPORATIONInventors: Masahiro Kimura, Kuniharu Tobe, Katsunobu Nishida

Patent number: 9617894Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system includes an exhaust purifying element for purifying exhaust gas, and a selective reduction catalyst for promoting reduction of NOx contained in the exhaust gas with a reducing agent. A housing for accommodating the exhaust purifying element includes an outer wall having an accommodating portion. A supply hole is formed on a bottom of the accommodating portion. A pipe that is located inside the housing has a passage through which an interior of the pipe communicates with an exterior of the pipe. The pipe is configured to guide exhaust gas toward the selective reduction catalyst through the passage and the interior of the pipe. The pipe has an end communicating with the supply hole. The injection device of the exhaust gas purification system injects the reducing agent to an interior of the pipe through the supply hole.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: HINO MOTORS, LTD.Inventors: Hirofumi Tongu, Kuniharu Tobe
