[0033] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention will be given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0034] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The appearances of "in one embodiment" in different places in this specification do not all refer to the same embodiment, nor are they separate or selectively exclusive embodiments from other embodiments.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 9 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an aluminum engine outlet pipe for an automobile, which includes a leak-proof component and can achieve the effect of preventing leakage. The leak-proof component internally includes a rubber ring 500, a female thread 303, a male thread 201 and a ferrule 200. The rubber ring 500 is located between the inner parts of the water separating groove 305. The outer surfaces of the engine pipe 300 and the top plate and bottom plate are engraved with the female thread 303. The upper and lower ends of the inner part of the ferrule 200 are engraved with the male thread 201.

[0038] Specifically, the thickness of the rubber ring 500 is equal to twice the thickness of the water separation groove 305. In this way, when the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 are connected and sealed, the rubber ring 500 can be squeezed, so as to fill the inside of the water separation groove 305, thus ensuring that the connection gap between the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 will not easily leak.

[0039] Furthermore, the external surface of the female thread 303 is wound with Teflon tape. In this way, when the female thread 303 is rotationally matched with the male thread 201, the Teflon tape can fill the gap between the threads, thus ensuring secondly that the connection between the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 will not leak.

[0040] Among them, the ferrule 200 is sleeved outside the engine pipe 300. The inner diameter of one end of the ferrule 200 close to the top plate and the bottom plate is equal to the outer diameter of the bottom plate and the top plate, and the inner diameter of the other end of the ferrule 200 is equal to the outer diameter of the engine pipe 300. In this way, the ferrule 200 can move or rotate outside the engine pipe 300, and the ferrule 200 seals the top plate and the bottom plate through the male thread 201 and the female thread 303.

[0041] Preferably, the outside of the ferrule 200 is hexagonal, so that it is more convenient and fast to rotate the ferrule 200.

[0042] It should be noted that the rubber ring 500 and the water separation groove 305 are located between the relative interiors of the screw 301, thus avoiding the possibility of liquid leaking out from inside the screw 301 and the rod hole 101.

[0043] When using this device for installation, first place the rubber ring 500 between the water separation grooves 305 opened inside the engine pipe 300. Then align the drain pipe 100 with the engine pipe 300, and at the same time align the rod hole 101 opened inside the bottom plate with the screw 301 fixedly arranged on the top plate. Then the drain pipe 100 can be moved towards the engine pipe 300 until the rubber ring 500 enters between the water separation grooves 305 opened inside the drain pipe 100. At this time, the nut 302 can be rotated and set above the screw 301 until the top plate arranged outside the engine pipe 300 is closely attached to the bottom plate arranged outside the drain pipe 100. In this way, the rubber ring 500 can seal the gap between the top plate and the bottom plate, thus ensuring no leakage.

[0044] After the engine pipe 300 is connected to the drain pipe 100, Teflon tape is then wrapped around the outside of the engine pipe 300, the top plate and the bottom plate. Then, a wrench is used to turn the ferrule 200 to rotate, and the male thread 201 is inserted into the female thread 303. In this way, even if the rubber ring 500 wears and leaks during use, the ferrule 200 can achieve a sealing effect through the Teflon tape, the male thread 201 and the female thread 303, thereby achieving a multiple protection effect against leakage.

[0045] In summary, when this device is in use, a double protection method is adopted to seal the connection between the drain pipe 100 and the engine pipe 300, so that it can be ensured that the device will not easily leak during use.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 , this is the second embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a protection component, which solves the problems of impact damage and collision damage at the connection of the drain pipe 100. The protection component includes a retaining ring 400, a baffle 401, and a ferrule 200. The retaining ring 400 is a circular plate, and the baffle 401 is located inside the retaining ring 400, and the baffle 401 crosses the inner diameter of the retaining ring 400, while the ferrule 200 is sleeved outside the engine pipe 300.

[0048] Specifically, the retaining ring 400 is located inside the annular groove 304. At the same time, the retaining ring 400 is located between the top plate of the engine pipe 300 and the bottom plate of the drain pipe 100, and the retaining ring 400 will not easily rotate when clamped by the top plate and the bottom plate.

[0049] Furthermore, the baffle 401 is located inside the drain pipe 100, and the baffle 401 is bent and just covers the bent part of the drain pipe 100. Then, the width of the baffle 401 after bending is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the drain pipe 100, so that the baffle 401 can be inserted inside the drain pipe 100 for installation.

[0050] Preferably, after the baffle 401 is bent, it can ensure that part of the impact force during the drainage of the engine pipe 300 can be relieved by the baffle 401, thereby avoiding the possibility that the drain pipe 100 is damaged due to the long-term impact force of the drainage of the engine pipe 300.

[0051] It should be noted that the ferrule 200 is also a part of both the leak-proof component and the protection component, that is, the ferrule 200 can not only achieve the effect of preventing leakage, but also play a role in protecting the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100.

[0052] When using the device for installation, first insert the baffle 401 into the interior of the drain pipe 100, and rotate the position of the baffle 401 so that the bending direction of the baffle 401 corresponds to the water inlet of the drain pipe 100, and then place the baffle 401 and the drain pipe 100 together outside the engine pipe 300, so that the clamping ring 400 can be clamped and fixed under the clamping of the top plate outside the engine pipe 300 and the bottom plate outside the drain pipe 100, so as to ensure that the impact force of the liquid will not completely impact the inner wall of the drain pipe 100 during the drainage process of the engine pipe 300, so as to effectively reduce the impact of the liquid and the corrosion of the drain pipe 100, and increase the service life of the drain pipe 100;

[0053] At the same time, the ferrule 200 is placed on the outside of the engine pipe 300, and after the ferrule 200 is rotated and installed on the outside of the connection between the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100, the connection between the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 can be effectively protected and guarded. In this way, after a collision and impact, the ferrule 200 will be hit and damaged in the first time, thereby protecting the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 inside the ferrule 200.

[0054] In summary, the protective components arranged inside the device include the baffle 401 which can protect the drain pipe 100 from the inside of the pipe to prevent it from being directly impacted by the liquid, and the ferrule 200 which can protect the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 from the outside of the pipe. This dual protection from both inside and outside can effectively increase the service life of the drain pipe 100.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, provides a connection component based on the first embodiment, which solves the connection and fixation problem of the drain pipe 100. The connection component includes a screw 301, a nut 302 and a rod hole 101. The screw 301 is fixedly arranged on the top plate outside the engine pipe 300, and the outer surface of the screw 301 is engraved with a female thread 303, while the nut 302 is rotatably arranged on the outside of the screw 301, and the inner surface of the nut 302 is engraved with a male thread 201. The nut 302 is rotatably connected to the screw 301 through a thread, and the rod hole 101 is opened inside the bottom plate outside the drain pipe 100.

[0057] Specifically, the screw 301 is arranged in a circle on the outer surface of the top plate, and the screw 301 is not arranged on the side of the outer surface of the top plate close to the drain pipe 100, so that the bent part of the drain pipe 100 will not interfere with the connection between the screw 301 and the nut 302.

[0058] Furthermore, the rod holes 101 are circumferentially formed inside the bottom plate, and the rod holes 101 respectively correspond to the screw rods 301, and the screw rods 301 are located between the rod holes 101.

[0059] Preferably, the nuts 302 are located outside the bottom plate, and the diameter of the nuts 302 is larger than the diameter of the rod holes 101, so that the nuts 302 can block and fix the bottom plate and the drain pipe 100.

[0060] When using the present device for installation, first align the bottom plate of the drain pipe 100 with the top plate of the engine pipe 300, then rotate the drain pipe 100 to a proper position and align the rod holes 101 with the screw rods 301, and then move the drain pipe 100 and the bottom plate towards the engine pipe 300 and the top plate until the bottom plate is in contact with the top plate. At this time, rotate the nut 302 outside the screw rod 301 until the nut 302 cooperates with the screw rod 301 to tightly connect the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100, thus completing the preliminary installation connection.

[0061] In summary, when the present device is connected, it is convenient, fast and stable, and the engine pipe 300 and the drain pipe 100 will not easily become loose or fall off.
