Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of metal structures, and in particular to a highly adaptable metal honeycomb carrier. Background Technology

[0002] Honeycomb metal carrier structure is a porous metal structure that is often used in adsorbent materials, catalyst supports and other fields.

[0003] In related technologies, one can refer to Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN202108570U, which discloses a high-performance metal honeycomb carrier, including a cylindrical shell and a core disposed in the shell. The core is characterized by having several concentric annular rings arranged in a circular pattern, with a wavy bending plate between two adjacent annular rings, and a wavy bending plate between the shell and the outermost annular ring.

[0004] However, in practical use, the thin-walled structure of the aforementioned honeycomb metal carrier results in lower strength when subjected to external loads. In some applications, such as as a catalyst carrier in automotive exhaust catalytic converters, the carrier may crack or deform due to the temperature and mechanical vibration during vehicle operation, reducing the service life and performance of the honeycomb metal carrier. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To reduce the probability of damage to the cellular metal carrier when subjected to high temperature and mechanical vibration, this application provides a highly adaptable metal cellular carrier.

[0006] This application provides a highly adaptable metal honeycomb carrier, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A highly adaptable metal honeycomb carrier includes a substrate and a plurality of channels evenly distributed inside the substrate. The substrate is provided with a reinforcement mechanism for reinforcing the sidewalls of the substrate. The reinforcement mechanism includes:

[0008] A reinforcing ring, wherein the reinforcing ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the base;

[0009] A connecting component is disposed on the base, and the reinforcing ring is detachably connected to the base through the connecting component.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing ring is installed on the substrate using a connecting component. The reinforcing ring is sleeved on the outside of the substrate, thereby enhancing the outer wall strength of the substrate and reducing the probability of damage to the substrate due to high temperature and mechanical vibration. Furthermore, the substrate can be disassembled and separated from the reinforcing ring after damage, allowing the reinforcing ring to be reused and reducing resource waste.

[0011] Optionally, the connection component includes:

[0012] A connecting plate is disposed on the base, and an insertion groove is formed on the connecting plate radially along the base, wherein the reinforcing ring is inserted into the insertion groove;

[0013] A limiting component is disposed on the connecting plate and is used to limit the position of the reinforcing ring in the insertion groove;

[0014] A support frame is disposed on the reinforcing ring and located between the reinforcing ring and the base, and the support frame abuts against the outer wall of the base.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting plate is fixed on the base, and the movable reinforcing ring is engaged with the insertion slot on the connecting plate while simultaneously locking the limiting component, thereby completing the connection between the reinforcing ring and the base. By setting a support frame on the reinforcing ring, the support frame is located between the reinforcing ring and the base and abuts against the outer wall of the base, thereby ensuring the reinforcement of the side wall of the base while isolating the base and the reinforcing ring, creating a gap between the base and the reinforcing ring, and ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the base.

[0016] Optionally, a filling bag is provided inside the support frame, and the filling bag has a liquid filling port. The filling bag is filled with coolant through the liquid filling port, and the filling bag filled with coolant abuts against the two side walls opposite to the reinforcing ring and the base.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a filling bag is fixed inside the support frame, and coolant is filled into the filling bag through the filling port. The filling bag filled with coolant fills the space between the reinforcing ring and the substrate. On the one hand, the filling bag cools the side wall of the substrate, reducing the probability of the side wall of the substrate being damaged due to high temperature; on the other hand, since the filling bag has the characteristic of being able to generate a certain deformation, it can buffer mechanical vibration, greatly reducing the probability of the substrate being damaged due to mechanical vibration, and effectively improving the service life and performance of the substrate.

[0018] Optionally, the limiting member includes:

[0019] The limiting block has a sliding hole on the inner side wall of the insertion groove along the radial direction of the reinforcing ring, and the limiting block is slidably disposed on the sliding hole. A limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the reinforcing ring, and the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0020] A limiting rod is vertically slidably disposed on the bottom wall of the insertion slot and its top end abuts against the filling bag;

[0021] A limiting spring is provided on the bottom wall of the insertion slot and connected to a limiting rod. The limiting rod is pressed against the filling bag under the action of the limiting spring.

[0022] A transmission component is mounted on a connecting plate and is used to drive the limiting block to engage with the limiting groove while the limiting rod moves downward.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the filling bag expands after being filled with coolant. The expansion of the filling bag causes the limiting rod to compress the limiting spring and move. The movement of the limiting rod causes the limiting block to move out of the limiting groove through the transmission component and engage with the insertion groove. Thus, the filling of the filling bag realizes the insertion of the limiting block and the insertion groove and limits the position of the limiting block.

[0024] Optionally, the transmission component includes:

[0025] A transmission rod is rotatably mounted on a connecting plate, with the rotation point of the transmission rod located at its center. Both ends of the transmission rod have axially oriented slotted holes.

[0026] The first transmission column is mounted on the limiting rod and passes through the strip hole at one end of the transmission rod near the first transmission column.

[0027] The first toothed plate is vertically slidably mounted on the connecting plate;

[0028] The second transmission column is disposed on the first toothed plate and passes through the strip hole at one end of the transmission rod near the second transmission column;

[0029] The first gear is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate and meshes with the first toothed plate;

[0030] The second toothed plate is disposed on the limiting block;

[0031] The second gear is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate and meshes with both the first gear and the second gear plate.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the expansion of the filling bag causes the limiting rod to compress the limiting spring and move. The movement of the limiting rod causes the first transmission column to move. The movement of the first transmission column causes the transmission rod to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod causes the second transmission column to move. The movement of the second transmission column causes the first toothed plate to move. The movement of the first toothed plate causes the first gear to rotate. The rotation of the first gear causes the second gear to rotate. The rotation of the second gear causes the second toothed plate to move. The movement of the second toothed plate causes the limiting block to move out of the sliding hole and engage with the limiting groove. Thus, the movement of the limiting block is achieved by the movement of the limiting rod.

[0033] Optionally, the end face of the limiting rod that contacts the filling bag is an arc-shaped end face.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the end face of the limiting rod that contacts the filling bag is set as an arc-shaped end face, thereby reducing the probability of the limiting rod puncturing the filling bag after contacting it, and ensuring the service life of the filling bag.

[0035] Optionally, the reinforcing ring has a threaded line on the side wall away from the connecting plate, and the connecting plate has a threaded hole on the side wall away from the reinforcing ring, so that the reinforcing ring can be threadedly connected to the connecting plate on the adjacent substrate.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating reinforcing ring is threadedly connected to the connecting plate on the adjacent substrate, thereby connecting multiple substrates end to end, which facilitates the large-scale transportation of the substrates and prevents damage to the interior of the substrates.

[0037] Optionally, a protective sleeve is fitted onto one end of the reinforcing ring with a threaded opening.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, a protective sleeve is fitted on the threaded end of the reinforcing ring. The protective sleeve protects the threaded wire, thereby reducing the probability of wear on the threaded wire during the transportation and use of the reinforcing ring.

[0039] Optionally, the connecting plate is provided with a positioning component for positioning the reinforcing ring, the positioning component comprising:

[0040] The first positioning piece is disposed on the connecting plate;

[0041] The second positioning piece is disposed on the reinforcing ring. When the second positioning piece abuts against the first positioning piece, the limiting block aligns with the opening of the limiting groove.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the reinforcing ring drives the second positioning piece to move. When the second positioning piece moves to contact the first positioning piece, the opening of the limiting block and the limiting groove are aligned, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of the limiting block and the limiting groove. There is no need for manual repeated rotation of the reinforcing ring to perform alignment work, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0043] Optionally, multiple heat dissipation holes are evenly distributed on the sidewall of the reinforcing ring.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple heat dissipation holes are evenly distributed on the side wall of the reinforcing ring, thereby improving the cooling and heat dissipation effect of the filling bag.

[0045] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0046] 1. By using a connecting assembly to install the reinforcing ring onto the base, the reinforcing ring is fitted on the outside of the base, thereby enhancing the outer wall strength of the base and reducing the probability of damage to the base due to high temperature and mechanical vibration. Furthermore, the base can be disassembled and separated from the reinforcing ring after damage, allowing the reinforcing ring to be reused and reducing resource waste.

[0047] 2. By fixing a filling bag inside the support frame and filling the filling bag with coolant through the filling port, the coolant-filled filling bag fills the space between the reinforcing ring and the substrate. On the one hand, the filling bag cools the side wall of the substrate, reducing the probability of damage to the side wall of the substrate due to high temperature; on the other hand, because the filling bag has the characteristic of being able to generate a certain deformation, it can buffer mechanical vibration, greatly reducing the probability of damage to the substrate due to mechanical vibration, and effectively improving the service life and performance of the substrate.

[0048] 3. By rotating the reinforcing ring, the second positioning piece is moved. When the second positioning piece moves to contact the first positioning piece, the opening of the limiting block and the limiting groove are aligned, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of the limiting block and the limiting groove. There is no need for manual repeated rotation of the reinforcing ring for alignment, which greatly improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0054] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0055] This application discloses a highly adaptable metal honeycomb carrier.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 The highly adaptable metal honeycomb carrier includes a substrate 1 and several channels 11 evenly distributed and fixed inside the substrate 1. The substrate 1 is provided with a reinforcement mechanism 2 for reinforcing the sidewalls of the substrate 1.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The reinforcement mechanism 2 includes a reinforcement ring 21 and a connecting assembly 22. The reinforcement ring 21 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the base 1 via the connecting assembly 22. The connecting assembly 22 includes a connecting plate 23, a limiting member 24, and a support frame 25. The connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the end side wall of the base 1. An insertion groove 12 is radially formed on the surface of the connecting plate 23 along the base 1, and the reinforcement ring 21 is inserted into the insertion groove 12. The support frame 25 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the reinforcement ring 21 and abuts against the outer wall of the base 1. The support frame 25 supports the gap between the reinforcement ring 21 and the base 1.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 A filling bag 14 is fixedly connected inside the support frame 25, and a filling port is provided on the filling bag 14. Coolant can be filled into the filling bag 14 through the filling port. After being filled with coolant, the filling bag 14 fills the gap between the reinforcing ring 21 and the base 1. Multiple heat dissipation holes 13 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the reinforcing ring 21 to facilitate heat dissipation from the filling bag 14.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting component 24 is used to limit the position of the reinforcing ring 21 within the insertion slot 12. The limiting component 24 includes a limiting block 31, a limiting rod 32, a limiting spring 33, and a transmission component 34. A sliding hole is radially formed on the inner wall of the insertion slot 12 along the connecting plate 23. The limiting block 31 is slidably mounted on the sliding hole. An installation cavity communicating with the sliding hole is formed within the connecting plate 23. The limiting rod 32 is vertically slidably mounted on the bottom wall of the insertion slot 12, with its bottom extending into the installation cavity. One end of the limiting spring 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the installation cavity, and the other end of the limiting spring 33 is connected to the limiting rod 32. Under the action of the limiting spring 33, the end of the limiting rod 32 abuts against the filling bag 14. The end face of the limiting rod 32 that abuts against the filling bag 14 is an arc-shaped end face.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The transmission component 34 is used to move the limiting block 31 while the limiting rod 32 moves. The transmission component 34 includes a transmission rod 41, a first transmission column 42, a first toothed plate 43, a second transmission column 44, a first gear 45, a second toothed plate 46, and a second gear 47. The transmission rod 41 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 23 and located within the mounting cavity. The rotation point of the transmission rod 41 is located at the center of the transmission rod 41. Both ends of the transmission rod 41 have axially spaced slotted holes.

[0061] Reference Figure 4 The first transmission column 42 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 32 and passes through the strip-shaped hole at the end of the transmission rod 41 near the first transmission column 42. The first toothed plate 43 is vertically slidably mounted on the connecting plate 23 and located in the mounting cavity, with the first toothed plate 43 located on the side of the transmission rod 41 away from the limiting rod 32. The second transmission column 44 is fixedly connected to the first toothed plate 43 and passes through the strip-shaped hole at the end of the transmission rod 41 near the first toothed plate 43. The first gear 45 is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 23 and located in the mounting cavity, meshing with the first toothed plate 43. The second gear 47 is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 23 and located in the mounting cavity, meshing with the first gear 45. The second toothed plate 46 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 31 and meshes with the second gear 47.

[0062] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The expansion of the filling bag 14 causes the limiting rod 32 to compress the limiting spring 33 and move. The movement of the limiting rod 32 causes the first transmission column 42 to move. The movement of the first transmission column 42 causes the transmission rod 41 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 41 causes the second transmission column 44 to move. The movement of the second transmission column 44 causes the first toothed plate 43 to move. The movement of the first toothed plate 43 causes the first gear 45 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 45 causes the second gear 47 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 47 causes the second toothed plate 46 to move. The movement of the second toothed plate 46 causes the limiting block 31 to partially move out of the sliding hole and engage with the limiting groove.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting plate 23 is provided with a positioning component 5 for positioning the reinforcing ring 21. The positioning component 5 includes a first positioning piece 51 and a second positioning piece 52. The first positioning piece 51 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 23, and the second positioning piece 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reinforcing ring 21. When the second positioning piece 52 abuts against the first positioning piece 51, the limiting block 31 is aligned with the opening of the limiting groove.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The reinforcing ring 21 has a threaded line on the side wall away from the connecting plate 23, and the connecting plate 23 has a threaded hole on the side wall away from the reinforcing ring 21. The reinforcing ring 21 can be threadedly connected to the connecting plate 23 of the adjacent reinforcing ring 21.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 A protective sleeve 53 is fitted onto one end of the reinforcing ring 21 with a threaded section.

[0066] The working principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0067] The reinforcing ring 21 is inserted into the slot 12 on the connecting plate 23, and then coolant is filled into the filling bag 14. The expansion of the filling bag 14 causes the limiting rod 32 to compress the limiting spring 33 and move. The movement of the limiting rod 32 causes the transmission rod 41 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 41 causes the limiting block 31 to be inserted into the slot 12, thereby fixing the reinforcing ring 21 and the filling bag 14 filled with coolant to the outside of the base 1. This improves the heat dissipation effect of the base 1 and enhances the structural strength of the outer wall of the machine body.

[0068] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
