Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a connection structure of vehicle exhaust pipes, and in particular to a connection structure that can connect exhaust pipes to each other without welding and with a small number of parts. Background technique
[0002] Figures 11 and 12 show an example of a conventional exhaust pipe connection structure. In FIG. 12, the pipe ends of the upstream exhaust pipe 1 and the downstream exhaust pipe 2 are fixed by welding with substantially diamond-shaped (FIG. 11) connecting flanges 61, 62, and bolts 64 and nuts 65 are used. The connecting flanges 61 and 62 are connected via the gasket 63, and the two exhaust pipes 1 and 2 are thus connected together (first prior art example).
[0003] Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 show other examples of the conventional exhaust pipe connection structure. In FIG. 14, the entire circumference of one side of the locking rings 71 and 72 formed in a U-shaped cross-section is welded and fixed to the outer circumfe...
