[0002] As living standards improve, cars are becoming increasingly popular as a means of transportation, with family cars, trucks, and buses zipping down the roads. The exhaust gases produced by gasoline combustion in cars are discharged through their exhaust pipes. With increasing awareness of the natural environment, vehicle exhaust emissions have become a growing concern. The gas flowmeter in on-board emission testing equipment needs to be connected to the vehicle's exhaust pipe and mounted on the vehicle's exterior.

[0003] A Chinese patent with the authorization publication number CN208291105U, the authorization announcement date 2018.12.28, and the name "A fixing device for a gas flow meter" discloses a fixing device for a fixed flow meter. The disadvantage of this device is that the fixing device and the flow meter are fixed directly to the fixing frame. When the car vibrates, the flow meter vibrates accordingly, which causes the internal components of the flow meter to vibrate and thus loosen the internal assembly of the flow meter, resulting in reduced measurement accuracy and gradually increased measurement errors.

[0006] The first fixing frame and the second fixing frame form a first fixing space, and the first fixing space is used to fix the bumper of the car;

[0007] The fixing bracket is fixed on the first fixing frame, the fixing bracket and the second fixing frame form a second fixing space, the flow meter is installed in the second fixing space, the elastic vibration damping mechanism is arranged on the fixing bracket for adjusting the size of the second fixing space for fixing the flow meter, and the exhaust pipe is connected to the flow meter.

[0008] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the fixing frame includes two fixing plates and two supporting plates. The two fixing plates are vertically mounted opposite to each other on the first fixing frame, and the two supporting plates are horizontally mounted opposite to each other between the two fixing plates.

[0010] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the first elastic vibration damper and the second elastic vibration damper each include a rotating shaft, an elastic member, a supporting sliding plate and a rotating sliding plate, wherein:

[0011] The supporting sliding plate and the rotating sliding plate are both slidably mounted on the supporting plate or the fixed plate, the rotating sliding plate is fixed on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the supporting sliding plate, the supporting sliding plate and the rotating sliding plate move in opposite directions relative to the supporting plate or the fixed plate, the elastic member is fixed between the supporting sliding plate and the rotating sliding plate, and the highest point of the supporting sliding plate has a supporting plane for supporting the flow meter.

[0012] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the elastic member is a spring.

[0013] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, it further includes a transmission mechanism, which is installed between the rotating shaft of the first elastic vibration damping member and the rotating shaft of the second elastic vibration damping member and is used to drive the two rotating shafts to move in conjunction.

[0014] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, when one rotating shaft rotates to expand the second fixed space horizontally, the transmission mechanism drives the other rotating shaft to rotate to reduce the second fixed space vertically; when one rotating shaft rotates to expand the second fixed space vertically, the transmission mechanism drives the other rotating shaft to rotate to reduce the second fixed space laterally.

[0017] In the present invention, the proposed vibration-damping automobile exhaust emission pipe installation assembly has an elastic vibration-damping mechanism that elastically fixes the flow meter in the second fixed space. When the automobile vibrates, the elastic vibration-damping mechanism undergoes corresponding deformation to slow down the vibration of the flow meter, thereby reducing the looseness of the internal assembly of the flow meter and increasing its measurement accuracy.

[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description which follows, or may be learned by practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] The fixing frame 3 includes two fixing plates 30 and two support plates 31. The two fixing plates 30 are mounted vertically opposite each other on the first fixing frame 1, and the two support plates 31 are mounted laterally opposite each other between the two fixing plates 30. The fixing frame 3 and the second fixing frame 2 form a second fixing space 7. The flowmeter 4 is mounted in the second fixing space 7. An elastic vibration damping mechanism is provided on the fixing frame 3 for adjusting the size of the second fixing space 7 for fixing the flowmeter. The exhaust pipe 15 is connected to the flowmeter 4.

[0029] The elastic vibration damping mechanism includes a first elastic vibration damping member 8 and a second elastic vibration damping member 9, which are respectively mounted on the fixing plate 30 and the supporting plate 31 and are respectively used to adjust the horizontal size and the vertical size of the second fixed space 7;

[0030] The first elastic vibration damping member 8 and the second elastic vibration damping member 9 each include a rotating shaft 10, an elastic member 11, a supporting sliding plate 12 and a rotating sliding plate 13, wherein:

[0031] The supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13 are both slidably mounted on the supporting plate 31 or the fixed plate 30, the rotating sliding plate 13 is fixed on the rotating shaft 10, and the rotating shaft 10 is rotatably mounted on the supporting sliding plate 12. The supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13 move in opposite directions relative to the supporting plate 31 or the fixed plate 30. The elastic member 11 is a spring, and the spring 11 is fixed between the supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13. The highest point of the supporting sliding plate 12 has a supporting plane for supporting the flow meter 4. The supporting sliding plate 12 presses against the flow meter to prevent the flow meter 4 from leaving the second fixed space 7;

[0032] It also includes a belt transmission mechanism, which is installed between the rotating shaft 10 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 and the rotating shaft 10 of the second elastic vibration damper and is used to drive the two rotating shafts 10 to work in a linked manner. The belt transmission mechanism includes a transmission belt 16, a first pulley 17 and a second pulley 18. The first pulley 17 and the second pulley are respectively fixed on the two rotating shafts 10. The transmission belt 16 is sleeved on the first pulley 17 and the second pulley 18. When one rotating shaft 10 rotates and the second fixed space 7 becomes larger in the horizontal direction, the belt transmission mechanism drives the other rotating shaft 10 to rotate so that the second fixed space 7 becomes smaller in the vertical direction; when one rotating shaft 10 rotates and the second fixed space 7 becomes larger in the vertical direction, the transmission mechanism drives the other rotating shaft 10 to rotate so that the second fixed space 7 becomes smaller in the horizontal direction;

[0033] The support plate 31 is slidably installed on the fixed plate 30. The support plate 31 can slide up and down relative to the fixed plate 30. The support plate 31 and the fixed plate 30 are fixed by a fixing member 14. A plurality of mounting holes 300 are opened on the fixed plate 30. The fixing member 14 fixes the fixed plate 30 and the support plate 31 through the mounting holes 300. The fixing member 14 can be a screw.

[0034] During operation of this embodiment, when the car vibrates and the flowmeter squeezes the supporting sliding plate 12, the rotating sliding plate 13 rotates relative to the supporting sliding plate 12, and the rotating sliding plate 13 and the supporting sliding plate 12 move in opposite directions. The elastic member 11 is stretched, which has a vibration-damping effect on the flowmeter 4, thereby reducing the influence of the car vibration on the accuracy of the flowmeter 4; when the flowmeter 4 moves downward with the vibration, the flowmeter 4 squeezes the second elastic vibration damper 9 slidably mounted on the support plate 31, causing the rotating sliding plate 13 and the supporting sliding plate 12 of the second elastic vibration damper 9 to move away from each other, forming a gap between the flowmeter and the top of the second fixed space 7. At the same time, in this process, the rotating shaft 10 of the second elastic vibration damper 9 drives the rotating shaft 10 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 to rotate, causing the rotating sliding plate 13 and the supporting sliding plate 12 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 to move closer to each other, making the highest surface of the supporting sliding plate 12 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 The lateral squeezing force on the flowmeter 4 is greater, thereby preventing the flowmeter 4 from leaving the second fixed space 7.

The two fixing plates 30 are vertically mounted on the first fixing frame 1 relative to each other, and the two support plates 31 are horizontally mounted between the two fixing plates 30 relative to each other, which facilitates the installation of the flow meter 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic vibration damping mechanism preferably includes a first elastic vibration damper 8 and a second elastic vibration damper 9. The first elastic vibration damper 8 and the second elastic vibration damper 9 are respectively installed on the fixing plate 30 and the support plate 31 and are respectively used to adjust the lateral size and vertical size of the second fixed space 7. When the car vibrates laterally or vertically, the first elastic vibration damper 8 and the second elastic vibration damper 9 undergo corresponding deformation to reduce the impact of the vibration on the accuracy of the flow meter and ensure that the flow meter 4 does not leave the second fixed space 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, the first elastic vibration damper 8 and the second elastic vibration damper 9 each include a rotating shaft 10, an elastic member 11, a supporting sliding plate 12 and a rotating sliding plate 13, wherein:

[0038] The supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13 are both slidably mounted on the supporting plate 31 or the fixed plate 30. The rotating sliding plate 13 is fixed on the rotating shaft 10. The rotating shaft 10 is rotatably mounted on the supporting sliding plate 12. The supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13 move in opposite directions relative to the supporting plate 31 or the fixed plate 30. The elastic member 11 is fixed between the supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13. The highest point of the supporting sliding plate 12 has a supporting plane for supporting the flowmeter 4. When the car vibrates and the flowmeter squeezes the supporting sliding plate 12, the rotating sliding plate 13 rotates relative to the supporting sliding plate 12. The rotating sliding plate 13 and the supporting sliding plate 12 move in opposite directions. The elastic member 11 is stretched, which has a vibration-reducing effect on the flowmeter 4.

[0039] The elastic member 11 is used to ensure that the supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13 move relative to the fixed plate 30 or the supporting plate 31 only when the squeezing force between the supporting sliding plate 12 and the rotating sliding plate 13 is large enough. In this embodiment, the elastic member 11 is a spring.

[0040] In this embodiment, it is preferred that a transmission mechanism is further included, which is installed between the rotating shaft 10 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 and the rotating shaft 10 of the second elastic vibration damper and is used to drive the two rotating shafts 10 to be linked. When the flow meter 4 vibrates in the car, the first elastic vibration damper 8 and the second elastic vibration damper 9 are adjusted to prevent the flow meter 4 from detaching from the second fixed space 7 during vibration.

[0041] In this embodiment, preferably, when one rotating shaft 10 rotates and the second fixed space 7 becomes larger horizontally, the transmission mechanism drives the other rotating shaft 10 to rotate to reduce the second fixed space 7 vertically; when one rotating shaft 10 rotates to increase the second fixed space 7 vertically, the transmission mechanism drives the other rotating shaft 10 to rotate to reduce the second fixed space 7 laterally, that is, when the car vibrates, the flowmeter 4 moves downward with the vibration, and the flowmeter 4 squeezes the second elastic vibration damper 9 slidably installed with the support plate 31, so that the rotating sliding plate 13 and the supporting sliding plate 12 of the second elastic vibration damper 9 move away from each other, and a gap is formed between the flowmeter and the top of the second fixed space 7. At the same time, the rotating shaft 10 of the second elastic vibration damper 9 drives the rotating shaft 10 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 to rotate, so that the rotating sliding plate 13 and the supporting sliding plate 12 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 move closer to each other, so that the highest surface of the supporting sliding plate 12 of the first elastic vibration damper 8 exerts a greater lateral extrusion force on the flowmeter 4, thereby preventing the flowmeter 4 from leaving the second fixed space 7.

[0042] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism is preferably a mechanism that drives the two rotating shafts to be linked. The transmission mechanism in this embodiment is a belt transmission mechanism, preferably a toothed conveyor belt and pulley, which is easy to install and has high transmission accuracy.

[0043] In this embodiment, the support plate 31 is preferably slidably mounted on the fixed plate 30, and the support plate 31 can slide up and down relative to the fixed plate 30.
