Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of crankcase ventilation pipes, in particular to a crankcase ventilation pipe for a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] In the engine system of the car, the crankcase ventilation pipe (vent pipe) plays a vital role. It connects the crankcase cylinder head cover and the outlet pipe of the air filter. When the engine is in operation, part of the combustible mixture and exhaust gas may enter the crankcase through the piston ring. These gases contain multiple components such as incompletely burned fuel gas, water vapor and exhaust gas. Their presence may not only dilute the engine oil, reduce its lubrication performance, and accelerate the oxidation and deterioration of the engine oil, but also form sludge in the engine oil due to condensation of water vapor, blocking the oil circuit, and the acidic gas in the exhaust gas will corrode the engine's lubrication system and accelerate the wear of parts. In order to effectively deal with these problems, the crankcase ventilation device came into being. It guides the oil and gas in the crankcase to the outlet pipe of the air filter through the crankcase ventilation pipe. Then these gases are sucked in and burned by the engine again, realizing the recovery of combustible gas and reducing the pollution to the atmosphere. This process not only ensures the cleanliness and performance of the engine oil, but also effectively prevents oil leakage and part corrosion caused by excessive pressure in the crankcase.
[0003] However, it is worth noting that the Qutong box ventilation pipe may face some challenges in certain environments. Since the gas discharged from the cylinder head cover is saturated with water vapor and oil gas, when these gases pass through the low-temperature area, the water vapor may condense into water droplets. Since the flow rate in the Qutong pipe is relatively low, these water droplets are difficult to quickly flow from the low-temperature area to the relatively high-temperature area. Therefore, under the continuous low temperature, the water droplets may gradually freeze and block the pipeline. Moreover, when the Qutong box ventilation pipe is in a low-temperature area, especially when a certain section is in an extremely low-temperature environment, the water vapor inside will gradually freeze and block the pipeline. This blockage will not only reduce the efficiency of the engine, resulting in insufficient power when the vehicle is driving, but in severe cases, it may also cause serious problems such as flameout and burning oil. Therefore, how to ensure the smooth operation of the Qutong box ventilation pipe in a low-temperature environment is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0026] The outer tube 2 is detachably connected to the pipe joint 1 via the connecting head 4, and the inner tube 3 is detachably connected to the pipe joint 1 via the connecting pipe 5. Since the connecting head 4, the connecting pipe 5, the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3 are all detachable, subsequent maintenance and replacement are more convenient.
[0027] The connecting pipe 5 connects the interface of the crankcase with the pipe joint 1, the inner pipe 3 is arranged in the outer pipe 2, the inner pipe 3 is connected with the outlet pipe of the air filter, and there is a gap space 6 between the outer pipe 2 and the inner pipe 3. It should be noted that by arranging the inner pipe 3 in the outer pipe 2, there is a gap space 6 between the outer pipe 2 and the inner pipe 3, so as to prevent the cold air or condensed water in the external environment from directly contacting the inner pipe 3, and the gap space 6 between the outer pipe 2 and the inner pipe 3 can effectively reduce the heat exchange between the inner pipe 3 and the external environment, slow down the temperature drop rate in the inner pipe 3, so as to prevent the inner pipe 3 from freezing and causing blockage, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the crankcase ventilation pipe in a low temperature environment.
