[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. Significantly enhances corrosion resistance and extends assembly service life: Adopting a layered anti-corrosion design, core components (intake flange, catalytic converter housing, etc.) are made of 441 ferritic stainless steel to withstand high-temperature exhaust gas corrosion, while sensor connectors, brackets, and other components are made of SUS304 austenitic stainless steel to resist humid salt spray environments. Bolts are treated with Dacromet to enhance their rust resistance. At the same time, through processes such as applying silver paint to exposed welds and welding after passivation treatment of parts, a 720-hour rust-free anti-corrosion effect is achieved, effectively avoiding structural damage caused by corrosion and extending the service life of the assembly.

[0012] 2. Ensuring the stability of exhaust purification function: Structurally, the upper and lower intake shells form a closed cavity, which is used to fix the TWC carrier with gasket one. The catalytic converter shell is fixed with the GPF carrier through gasket two, ensuring the installation stability of the catalytic purification and particulate matter filter components. The sealed connection design of the intake and exhaust paths (such as fixing the front cone to the catalytic converter shell and the rear cone to the exhaust pipe) avoids exhaust gas leakage, which not only ensures purification efficiency but also reduces the corrosive impact of leaked exhaust gas on surrounding components.

[0013] 3. Enhance structural reliability and environmental adaptability: The upper and lower heat insulation covers are fixed to the outer wall of the catalyst housing by resistance welding. Combined with internal heat insulation cotton, the heat radiation of high-temperature exhaust gas is reduced, thus reducing the accelerating effect of temperature changes on material corrosion. All components are fastened with bolts (such as hexagonal flange bolts and flange bolts). The anti-corrosion treatment of the connection parts is combined with the structural design, enabling the assembly to adapt to complex operating conditions such as vibration and temperature difference during vehicle operation, thereby improving overall operational reliability.

[0014] In summary, the corrosion-resistant structure of this ternary encapsulation assembly, through the synergy of material selection, process optimization, and structural design, not only improves corrosion resistance and extends service life, but also ensures the stability of exhaust purification function and the environmental adaptability of the structure.

The upper heat insulation cotton 23 is fixed to the inner wall of the upper heat insulation cover 5. The lower heat insulation cotton 24 is fixed to the inner wall of the lower heat insulation cover 6.

[0021] The differential pressure pipe support cover plate 20 and the differential pressure pipe support 19 are fixedly connected by hexagonal flange bolts 21.

[0022] The materials of the intake flange 1, intake upper shell 2, intake lower shell 4, rear cone 15, front cone 22, catalyst shell 27, exhaust pipe 33, differential pressure pipe bracket 19, and differential pressure pipe bracket cover plate 20 are all 441 ferritic stainless steel.

[0024] The hexagonal flange bolts 21 and 32 are made of No. 35 steel. (The high-temperature corrosion resistance of 441 ferritic stainless steel meets the following requirements: under long-term use at 800℃, it is resistant to SO2 and NO in exhaust gas.) x Corrosion, corrosion rate ≤0.01mm / year; SUS304 austenitic stainless steel, neutral salt spray resistance ≥1000h (according to GB / T 10125 standard); 35 steel after Dacromet treatment, coating thickness controlled at 8-12μm, neutral salt spray resistance ≥500h) All bolts are treated with Dacromet (Dacromet treatment: bolts are degreased and derusted, then immersed in Dacromet solution, coating thickness 8-12μm, cured at 300±10℃ for 30min; exposed welds are coated with high-temperature silver paint, welding slag must be cleaned before coating, dry film thickness ≥30μm, naturally dried for 24h; passivation treatment uses chromium-free passivation solution (concentration 5%-8%), immersion time 10-15min, forming a passivation film thickness of 0.5-1μm, drying temperature 80℃), all exposed welds are coated with silver paint, except for intake flange 1, intake upper shell 2, intake lower shell 4, and front Except for the end cone 22, catalyst housing 27, upper heat shield 5, lower heat shield 6, differential pressure pipe assembly 1 7, and differential pressure pipe assembly 2 8, all parts made of 441 and SUS304 materials are passivated (the components are passivated after the bracket and projection weld nut are welded, and the passivated parts are laser welded (welding temperature ≤1200℃). After welding, the weld and heat-affected zone (range: within 5mm of the weld edge) are locally coated with passivating liquid. Exposed welds are defined as 'welds that are in direct contact with the external environment' (such as the connection weld between the intake flange and the intake upper shell, and the weld between the exhaust pipe and the rear flange assembly). Non-exposed welds (such as the weld inside the housing cavity) do not need to be coated with silver paint) before welding, to meet the requirement of no red rust for 720h. ('No red rust after 720h' is based on neutral salt spray test (according to GB / T 10125-2021 standard). Test conditions: temperature 35±2℃, salt spray concentration 5% (NaCl solution), pH value 6.5-7.2, after continuous exposure for 720h, no red rust on the surface (rust area ≤0.1%))

[0025] During operation, the high-temperature exhaust gas from the engine first enters the cavity formed by the fixed connection between the upper intake shell 2 and the lower intake shell 4 through the intake flange 1. Within the cavity, the TWC carrier 25, fixed by gasket 26, performs preliminary catalytic purification of the exhaust gas, removing pollutants such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The purified exhaust gas then enters the front cone 22 through the lower intake shell 4 and flows into the catalytic converter housing 27. Inside the catalytic converter housing, the GPF carrier 28, fixed by gasket 29, filters particulate matter in the exhaust gas. The filtered exhaust gas then enters the rear cone 15... The exhaust pipe 33 (with gaskets 26 and 29 made of ceramic fiber reinforced metal mesh, temperature resistant ≥1000℃, compression controlled at 15%-20% to ensure sealing while preventing damage to the carrier under pressure) finally discharges through the rear flange assembly 17. Throughout the exhaust gas flow process, the upper heat insulation cover 5 and lower heat insulation cover 6 are fixed to the outer wall of the catalyst housing by resistance welding. The upper heat insulation cotton 23 and lower heat insulation cotton 24 inside effectively reduce the heat radiation of high-temperature exhaust gas to surrounding components, reducing the material corrosion rate caused by temperature changes. Simultaneously, the structure's corrosion resistance is enhanced by the materials... Selection and processing work together to ensure quality. Components that directly contact high-temperature exhaust gases, such as the intake flange 1 and catalytic converter housing 27, are made of 441 material, which has excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of acidic substances in the exhaust gas. Components such as the oxygen sensor nut 3 and EGR pipe 11 are made of SUS304 material, which can adapt to external environments such as humidity and salt spray. Connecting parts such as hexagonal flange bolts 21 and flange bolts 32 are made of 35 steel, and a Dacromet coating is applied to form a protective film to enhance corrosion resistance. In addition, all exposed welds are coated with silver paint to seal gaps and prevent electrochemical corrosion. Except for specific core components, parts made of 441 and SUS304 materials are passivated before welding, and the components are passivated after welding of the bracket and projection weld nut, which can form an oxide protective film to ensure that the requirement of no red rust is met for 720 hours. In addition, differential pressure pipe assembly 1 7 and differential pressure pipe assembly 2 8 are fixed by corresponding differential pressure pipe nut seats, and EGR pipe 11 is connected to catalyst housing 27 through connecting sleeve 12. These auxiliary components are all made of suitable materials and are combined with the overall anti-corrosion process to further ensure the anti-corrosion effect of the entire assembly, ensure the stable operation of the structure in complex environments, and extend the service life.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention.
