Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of turbocharger pipes, and particularly to an automotive turbocharger pipe. Background Art
[0002] The automotive turbocharger pipe is a key component connecting the turbocharger and the engine intake manifold. Its core function is to efficiently transport high-temperature and high-pressure gases to the engine combustion chamber after the compressor compresses the air. As an important part of the turbocharging system, the turbocharger pipe needs to meet strict requirements such as high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, vibration resistance, and good sealing performance to ensure the working stability of the turbocharging system and the engine power output efficiency.
[0003] Existing automotive turbocharger pipes mainly adopt metal pipes, rubber pipes, or metal-rubber composite structures. Metal pipes are usually made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, with excellent high-temperature and high-pressure resistance, but they are heavy and have complex forming processes; rubber pipes are mostly based on silicone rubber or fluororubber, and can achieve complex shapes through mold forming, but are prone to problems such as hardening and cracking under long-term high-temperature environments; metal-rubber composite pipes attempt to combine the advantages of both through the combination of a metal skeleton and a rubber layer, but have limitations such as complex structures and relatively high manufacturing costs.
[0004] However, the existing technical solutions still have the following deficiencies: Metal pipes are heavy, which is not conducive to the lightweight design of the whole vehicle; rubber pipes have insufficient temperature resistance and are prone to aging and failure under the long-term action of high-temperature gases (usually exceeding 150°C) at the turbocharger outlet; although the composite structure pipes have balanced performance, the connection between the metal and the rubber is prone to stress concentration due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients, resulting in seal failure or structural damage. In addition, the installation of traditional turbocharger pipes mostly relies on bolt fastening or clamp locking, which requires a large operating space and low assembly efficiency, and is difficult to meet the requirements of modern automotive compact layouts and intelligent production. Therefore, an automotive turbocharger pipe is proposed. Summary of the Invention

A self-sealing elastic ring 204 is embedded in the inner wall of the end of the female end connector 202 close to the pipe body 1. A memory alloy spring 205 evenly distributed along the ring is embedded in the self-sealing elastic ring 204. The high temperature resistant layer 101 is a blended extrusion layer of polyetheretherketone and carbon fiber, the lightweight composite layer 102 is a composite structure of foamed polypropylene and glass microspheres, and the anti-deformation support layer 103 is a composite tape composed of a spirally wound metal tape and a plastic tape; The self-sealing elastic collar 204 undergoes radial deformation under the installation pressure; The co-extrusion temperature is controlled at 260-280℃, and the co-extrusion speed is set at 5-8m / min to ensure that the interface bonding strength between the two is ≥15MPa and avoid delamination at high temperature; The high-temperature resistant layer 101 is made of a blend of polyetheretherketone and carbon fiber, which improves its thermal stability; the lightweight composite layer 102 is composed of a composite of foamed polypropylene and glass microspheres, reducing the overall weight; the anti-deformation support layer 103 utilizes a spiral winding structure of metal strips and plastic strips to enhance the mechanical strength of the pipe body 1. In the connection assembly 2, the design of the self-sealing elastic collar 204 and the shape memory alloy spring 205 realizes automatic sealing at high temperatures to prevent medium leakage, while the limit ring 211 and the barbed anti-disengagement teeth 207 ensure the stability of the connection.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mass ratio of carbon fiber in the high-temperature resistant layer 101 is 15% - 20%, the axial tensile strength of the high-temperature resistant layer 101 is ≥320 MPa, the density of the lightweight composite layer 102 is 0.15 - 0.25 g / cm³, and the thickness ratio of the metal strip to the plastic strip in the anti-deformation support layer 103 is 1:3 - 1:5; The carbon fiber is uniformly dispersed in the polyetheretherketone matrix through a co-extrusion process, and the metal strip and plastic strip of the anti-deformation support layer 103 are compounded by precisely controlling the thickness ratio with a precision mold; The high-temperature resistant layer 101 is reinforced with carbon fiber in a specific proportion, ensuring the structural stability and strength of the pipe body 1 in a high-temperature environment. Its axial tensile strength is not less than 320 MPa, effectively resisting external tensile forces and ensuring the safety of the pipeline. The lightweight composite layer 102 uses low-density materials, significantly reducing the weight while maintaining the structural strength, improving the energy efficiency and portability of the pipeline system. The anti-deformation support layer 103 optimizes the thickness ratio of the metal strip to the plastic strip, enhancing the anti-deformation ability of the pipeline while maintaining good flexibility to adapt to complex installation environments. These designs together improve the comprehensive performance of the pipeline, meeting the usage requirements under high temperature, high pressure, and complex working conditions.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wave crest spacing of the corrugated deformation compensation section 104 decreases in a gradient from the middle to both ends, with a decreasing amplitude of 2 - 4 mm per 100 mm length, and the corrugated deformation compensation section 104 and the pipe body 1 are integrally formed by a two-color co-extrusion process; The wave crest spacing of the corrugated deformation compensation section 104 is achieved by precisely controlling the geometric shape of the mold and the parameters of the two-color co-extrusion process. When designing the mold, the cavity width of the corrugated part is set to gradually decrease from the middle to both ends, ensuring that the wave crest spacing decreases by 2 - 4 mm per 100 mm length. During the co-extrusion process, by adjusting the screw speed and temperature of the extruder, as well as the temperature control of the mold, the corrugated deformation compensation section 104 and the pipe body 1 are tightly combined and integrally formed to achieve the expected gradient decreasing effect; The corrugated deformation compensation section 104 is designed with the wave crest spacing decreasing gradually from the middle to both ends.

The gradually decreasing wave crest spacing can better adapt to the deformation requirements of different parts, improving the overall flexibility and durability of the pipe body 1. At the same time, the double-color co-extrusion process ensures the tight combination between the corrugated deformation compensation section 104 and the pipe body 1, enhancing the connection strength and preventing the possible delamination or detachment phenomenon due to long-term use. This design not only improves the performance of the pipe body 1 but also extends its service life and reduces the maintenance cost, having significant economic and social benefits.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 For, an annular positioning groove 208 is provided on the outer wall of the male end joint 201, and elastic positioning beads 203 evenly distributed along the ring are embedded in the inner wall of the female end joint 202. During installation, the elastic positioning beads 203 are snapped into the annular positioning groove 208 under the action of an axial force of 0.3 - 0.5 MPa. Through the matching design of the annular positioning groove 208 and the elastic positioning beads 203 between the male end joint 201 and the female end joint 202, rapid and accurate connection positioning is achieved. This design not only simplifies the installation process and improves the assembly efficiency but also enhances the stability and reliability of the connection.

When the working temperature exceeds 120 °C, the shape memory alloy spring 205 generates axial contraction, driving the fluororubber matrix to form a radial sealing pressure. During the molding process of the fluororubber matrix, the shape memory alloy spring 205 is placed in the mold in a predetermined arrangement, and then the fluororubber material is injected. It is formed by high-temperature vulcanization, so that the shape memory alloy spring 205 is firmly embedded in the fluororubber matrix. At the same time, it is ensured that the distribution of the shape memory alloy spring 205 in the fluororubber matrix is uniform, so as to ensure that when the working temperature exceeds 120 °C, each shape memory alloy spring 205 can generate axial contraction synchronously, thereby evenly driving the fluororubber matrix to form a radial sealing pressure. The design of the self-sealing elastic ring 204 using a fluororubber matrix and embedded with a memory alloy spring 205 brings many benefits. The fluororubber matrix has good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, which can ensure that the ring can work stably for a long time in harsh environments. The embedding of the memory alloy spring 205 makes the ring have the characteristics of intelligent sealing. When the operating temperature exceeds 120°C, the memory alloy spring 205 produces axial contraction, which is used to drive the fluororubber matrix to form radial sealing pressure, thereby achieving a self-sealing effect.

The vibration damping ring 209 uses a silicone matrix, which has good elasticity and weather resistance and can adapt to use under different environmental conditions. The embedded stainless steel wire mesh 210 inside enhances its structural strength. At the same time, the design with an increasing mesh density gradient helps to optimize the vibration damping effect, reduce loosening or damage caused by vibration, and extend the service life of the pipe body 1 connection assembly 2.
