A honeycomb structure comprising an outer peripheral wall; a partition wall defining a plurality of cells each extending from one end face to other end face, a plurality of slits extending radially inward from an outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb structure and extending in an extending direction of the cells; and a filling material filled in the slits. A difference between a width Y of the filling material when viewed from the outside in the radial direction of the honeycomb structure, and a width X of each of the slits on the outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb structure, represented by (Y−X), is determined for each of the slits, and a difference between a maximum value A of the difference and a minimum value B of the difference, represented by the (A−B), is 0.4 mm or less.

A method of plugging channels of a honeycomb body and a honeycomb body including plugged channels. The method includes applying a shear force to a plugging mixture including a plurality of inorganic particles, clay, and a liquid vehicle to alter the viscosity of the plugging mixture from a first viscosity prior to the vibrating to a second viscosity which is less than the first viscosity. A honeycomb body is placed into contact with the plugging mixture such that a portion of the plugging mixture having the second viscosity flows into the plurality of channels. Application of the shear force is stopped or reduced to increase the viscosity of the portion of the plugging mixture in the plurality of channels to greater than the first viscosity.

A catalyst unit may include a carrier, a channel opening portion through which exhaust gas passes, a skin portion that is formed along a circumference and integrally formed with the channel opening portion, and a skin addition portion that is formed with a second thickness on an outside surface of the skin portion. A fabrication device of the catalyst unit may include a container, a masking member, and an elastic member, wherein plugging material flows through opened channels and does not contact the masking member. A manufacturing method of the catalyst unit may include covering the masking member and inserting plugging material into an opened channel. A channel corresponding to a dead zone is plugged and the catalyst coating layer is not formed in the plugged channels, thus reducing the cost of the catalyst.

A camera is used to take an image of an end surface of a honeycomb structure gripped by a hand. Based on the image, an initial rotation angle of the honeycomb structure around a vertical axis at a reference position where the image has been taken is recognized. An arm turning section is driven to convey the honeycomb structure gripped by the hand from the reference position to above a plugging mask. A rotation angle required to adjust the rotation angle of the honeycomb structure on the plugging mask to a desired final rotation angle is acquired based on the initial rotation angle recognized at the reference position and a rotation angle of the honeycomb structure around the vertical axis associated with the driving of the arm turning section from the reference position to above the plugging mask. The honeycomb structure is rotated based on the required rotation angle.

There is disclosed a honeycomb structure in which while sufficiently maintaining a collection efficiency and a bonding strength of a plugging portion, a thermal shock resistance is improved. A plugging portion 32 is formed in the end of each cell 3 of a honeycomb structure 1, and a gap 34 having a size of 20 μm or more is formed between the plugging portion 32 and each partition wall 2. Moreover, the length of the gap 34 in the axial direction is 50% or more and less than 95% of the length of the plugging portion 32 in the axial direction, the length of the gap in a face vertical to the axial direction is 20% or more and 50% or less of the length of the inner peripheral surface of the cell 3, and the gaps are formed in at least ⅓ of the plugging portions 32.
