Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile wading hoses, in particular to a wading hose. Background Art
[0002] As a key component of a car's wading performance, the core function of the snorkel is to protect the engine's air intake from water intrusion, thereby preventing the engine from stalling or being damaged due to water intrusion.
[0003] However, since it directly replaces the air intake of the engine, air and dust are easily accumulated inside the snorkel. Although the snorkel can effectively remove moisture that accidentally enters, it lacks an effective filtering and cleaning mechanism for dust in the air. In a dusty environment or after long-term driving, the accumulated dust may hinder the normal air intake of the engine, thereby affecting its performance. For this reason, we propose a snorkel. Utility Model Content
[0004] A technical problem to be solved by the present application is to optimize and improve the dust handling function of the snorkel, reduce the need for regular cleaning by car owners, and improve the practicality and convenience of the snorkel.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a wading hose, including a wading hose body, which is installed on a vehicle body, and the bottom of which is connected to the air intake of the automobile engine through a conduit, and also includes:
[0006] There are multiple air outlet holes, which are evenly arranged around the air inlet at the top of the wading hose body, and an air passage communicating with the air outlet holes is opened in the wading hose body;
[0007] An air duct is provided with an air inlet fixedly connected to the airway at the bottom of the wading hose body, one end of the air duct is fixedly connected to the air inlet, and the other end of the air duct is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the automobile air conditioner.
[0008] In some embodiments, the diameter of the air outlet holes is 1 mm, and the interval between adjacent air outlet holes is 2 mm, so as to form a high-speed focused airflow.
[0009] In some embodiments, the air duct and the wading hose body connecting conduit are both made of high temperature resistant materials.
[0010] In some embodiments, the air outlet holes are all arranged at an angle, and are inclined toward the air inlet of the snorkel body in the air outlet direction.
[0011] In some embodiments, a groove is provided at the top of the wading hose body at a position around the air inlet, the air outlets are all located in the grooves, and a sealing member is provided in the grooves. In a normal state, the sealing member seals and protects the air outlets, and in the air outlet state, the sealing member automatically cancels the blockage of the air outlets.
[0012] In some embodiments, the sealing member includes a sealing strip arranged in the groove away from the inlet side of the snorkel body, the sealing strip is made of soft material, and the sealing strip is inclined to the other side of the groove notch and is sealed against the groove notch position.
[0013] In some embodiments, the sealing member includes a sealing plate movably buckled in the groove, and a sealing strip is provided on the side of the sealing plate to ensure seamless contact between the sealing plate and the side wall of the groove, and a plurality of micro springs and telescopic rods are fixed at intervals between the sealing plate and the inner wall of the groove.
[0014] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses a wading hose, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The present invention provides a wading hose, which is stably installed on a vehicle body, and whose bottom is closely connected with an air intake of an automobile engine through a carefully designed conduit, thereby ensuring smooth airflow; the position of the engine air intake is greatly raised, thereby ensuring that the engine will not suck water when the off-road vehicle is wading, thereby facilitating the engine to work and absorb air more fully.
[0016] The present invention generates a high-speed focused airflow under normal conditions through a precisely designed air outlet and air duct system. Since the air inlet of the wading hose body is large and the air inlet area is wide, the air inlet velocity is slow. In this way, the high-speed focused airflow can directly impact the air and dust near the air inlet of the wading hose body. The outer circle blowing method can effectively blow the dust away from the air inlet. Combined with the normal air intake of the inner circle, a unique protection mechanism is formed, which significantly reduces the possibility of dust in the air entering the wading hose, and provides more effective dust protection for the wading hose.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a wading hose, including a wading hose body 1, the wading hose body 1 is firmly installed on the vehicle body, and its bottom is closely connected with the air intake of the automobile engine through a well-designed conduit to ensure smooth airflow.
[0031] The core of the dust-proof mechanism of the wading hose lies in its unique air outlet 2 and air duct 3 system. The air outlet holes 2 are evenly distributed in an array around the air inlet on the top of the wading hose body 1, and an air duct 6 communicating with it is provided inside. Since the air inlet of the wading hose body 1 is relatively large, the conventional air intake airflow velocity is relatively slow, and the precisely calculated aperture of the air outlet holes 2 is 1 mm, and the interval between adjacent holes is 2 mm. This design enables the formation of a high-speed focused airflow when the airflow introduced by the air duct 3 passes through.
[0032] One end of the air duct 3 is fixedly connected to the air passage 6, and the other end is connected to the air outlet of the automobile air conditioner, ensuring the stability and controllability of the airflow. At the same time, the air duct 3 and the conduit connected to the wading hose body 1 are made of high temperature resistant materials to adapt to various complex working environments.
[0033] In order to further enhance the dust-proof effect, the air outlet holes 2 are designed to be inclined, with the air outlet direction pointing directly to the air inlet of the snorkel body 1. This design enables the high-speed focused airflow to directly impact the air and dust near the air inlet, forming an outer circle blowing effect, effectively blowing the dust away from the air inlet, while the normal air intake process inside the snorkel body 1 is carried out in the inner circle. The combination of the two forms a unique protection mechanism.
[0034] In addition, grooves 4 are provided around the air inlet at the top of the snorkel body 1, and the air outlets 2 are located therein. A sealing member 5 is arranged in the groove 4. The sealing member 5 seals and protects the air outlet 2 under normal conditions to prevent dust from entering. When a high-speed focused airflow needs to be generated, the sealing member 5 can automatically respond to cancel the blockage of the air outlet 2 to ensure smooth passage of airflow.
[0035] The sealing member 5 is composed of a sealing strip 51 made of soft material, which is inclined to the other side of the notch of the groove 4 and tightly sealed at the notch position, forming a reliable dustproof barrier. The automobile air-conditioning system only needs to provide a very small wind pressure to blow the sealing strip 51, thereby forming a gap at the notch position of the groove 4 for air flow to pass through. Such a design not only optimizes the dustproof performance of the snorkel, but also ensures its stability and reliability in various environments.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] See also Figure 7-9 The utility model provides another technical solution for the blocking piece 5: the blocking piece 5 is mainly composed of a blocking plate 52 movably buckled in the groove 4. This design allows the blocking plate 52 to be flexibly moved when needed, while ensuring that it fits tightly into the groove 4 in the non-working state to form an effective dustproof barrier.
[0038] In order to further enhance the sealing effect, the side of the sealing plate 52 is equipped with a sealing strip 53. The sealing strip 53 is made of high-quality material and has excellent elasticity and sealing performance. It can ensure seamless contact between the sealing plate 52 and the side wall of the groove 4, effectively preventing the intrusion of dust.
[0039] An innovative combination structure of a micro spring 54 and a telescopic rod 55 is used between the sealing plate 52 and the inner wall of the groove 4. The micro spring 54 and the telescopic rod 55 not only provide stable support for the sealing plate 52, but also provide sufficient elastic force when needed, ensuring that the sealing plate 52 can be quickly reset when subjected to external pressure to maintain its sealing performance.
[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the sealing plate 52 is basically moved as a whole piece, that is, it is guaranteed to form a stable annular bundled airflow and ensure stable dust prevention. Although the structure of Example 1 is simpler, there is a situation in actual use that the local sealing strip 51 is pushed open while the rest of the position is not moved. In this way, a stable annular bundled airflow cannot be formed, that is, it is impossible to provide covering protection for the air inlet position of the entire wading hose body 1. However, the shortcoming is that it is precisely to solve the problem of relatively complex components caused by covering protection.
