[0002] An air flow meter is installed on the intake pipe of the car. Since the flow uniformity of the gas has a great influence on the measurement accuracy, in order to reduce the influence of the air compressor air intake on the air flow sensor measurement, the current main solution is to set the air compressor air intake on the intake pipe far away from the air flow sensor. This requires the intake pipe to be very long, resulting in a large space required for the layout of the engine on the vehicle, which is often not conducive to the matching adaptability of the product. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, one of the purposes of the utility model is to provide a mounting pipe for an air flow meter, which uses a smaller layout space to solve the problem of the influence of air compressor air intake on the measurement work of the air flow sensor. Another purpose of the utility model is to provide an engine intake pipe including the above-mentioned mounting pipe for an air flow meter, and to provide a car including the above-mentioned engine intake pipe.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An installation pipe for an air flow meter, comprising:

[0006] A first tube body, wherein the first tube body is provided with a mounting seat for mounting an air flow sensor;

[0007] The second tube body is sleeved with the part of the first tube body close to the air inlet end, the end of the second tube body close to the mounting seat is tightly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body, a first air flow cavity is formed between the inner wall of the second tube body and the outer wall of the first tube body, an air inlet of the first air flow cavity is formed between the end of the second tube body away from the mounting seat and the outer wall of the first tube body, and the second tube body is provided with an air intake port for connecting to an air compressor.

[0008] Optionally, in the above-mentioned installation tube for the air flow meter, the axis of the air intake port and the axis of the first tube body meet the vertical condition.

[0009] Optionally, the above-mentioned mounting tube for the air flow meter also includes a barrel-shaped body, which is buckled on the part of the first tube body close to the air outlet end along the axial direction of the first tube body, and one end of the barrel-shaped body close to the mounting seat is tightly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body, and the part of the barrel-shaped body other than the first tube body forms a second airflow cavity, and the side wall of the barrel-shaped body is provided with an air outlet of the second airflow cavity.

[0010] Optionally, in the above-mentioned installation tube for the air flow meter, the air outlet is connected to an air outlet pipe, and the pipe wall of the air outlet pipe is provided with an access port for connecting to a crankcase ventilation pipeline.

[0011] Optionally, in the above-mentioned installation tube for the air flow meter, the axis of the outlet pipe and the axis of the first tube body meet the vertical condition.

[0018] The mounting seat of the air flow sensor is arranged on the first tube body, and the air intake port connected to the air compressor is arranged on the second tube body. Since the second tube body is sleeved with the part of the first tube body near the air inlet end, and a first airflow cavity is formed between the inner wall of the second tube body and the outer wall of the first tube body, after the air is inhaled, the airflow is divided into two parts, one part is measured by the air flow sensor through the inside of the first tube body, and the other part goes to the air compressor through the first airflow cavity and the air intake port. Since the measured gas and the gas taken by the air compressor are separated by the part of the first tube body located in the second tube body, the air intake of the air compressor is avoided from interfering with the measurement work of the air flow sensor, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of gas measurement and meeting the performance requirements of the engine. At the same time, the above structure is used to avoid the influence of the air compressor intake on the measurement work of the air flow sensor, allowing the air intake port of the air compressor to be arranged at a position close to the air flow sensor on the engine intake pipe, so that the layout of the entire model can be compact. In summary, the mounting tube of the utility model uses a smaller layout space to solve the problem of the influence of the air compressor intake on the measurement work of the air flow sensor.

[0026] 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.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2Embodiment 1 of the utility model provides a mounting tube for an air flow meter, comprising a first tube body 1 and a second tube body 2, wherein the first tube body 1 is provided with a mounting seat 11 for mounting an air flow sensor 4, the second tube body 2 is sleeved with a portion of the first tube body 1 close to the air inlet end, the portion of the first tube body 1 sleeved by the second tube body 2 is located between the air inlet end of the first tube body 1 and the mounting seat 11, one end of the second tube body 2 close to the mounting seat 11 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body 1, a first air flow cavity A is formed between the inner wall of the second tube body 2 and the outer wall of the first tube body 1, an air inlet of the first air flow cavity A is formed between one end of the second tube body 2 away from the mounting seat 11 and the outer wall of the first tube body 1, and the second tube body 2 is provided with an air intake port 21 for connecting to an air compressor.

[0028] When in use, the end of the second tube body 2 away from the mounting seat 11 and the air outlet end of the first tube body 1 are respectively connected to other parts of the engine's intake pipe, so that the air flow meter mounting pipe is connected to the intake pipe as a part of the engine's intake pipe. Figure 2 As shown by the arrows in , after air intake, the airflow is divided into two parts, one part is measured by the air flow sensor 4 through the inside of the first tube body 1, and the other part goes to the air compressor through the first airflow cavity A and the air intake port 21. Since the measured gas and the gas taken by the air compressor are separated by the part of the first tube body 1 located in the second tube body 2, the air intake of the air compressor is prevented from interfering with the measurement work of the air flow sensor 4, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of gas measurement and meeting the performance requirements of the engine. The installation pipe of the utility model is adopted to avoid the influence of the air intake of the air compressor on the measurement work of the air flow sensor 4 through the above structure, and the air intake port 21 of the air compressor is allowed to be arranged at a position close to the air flow sensor 4 on the engine intake pipe, so that the layout of the entire model can be compact, meet the layout requirements of various models, and improve the adaptability of the product.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the axis of the air inlet 21 and the axis of the first tube body 1 meet the vertical condition, that is, the axis of the air inlet 21 and the axis of the first tube body 1 are perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to each other, and the airflow flows from the first airflow cavity A into the air inlet 21 along an angle of approximately 90°, which can better reduce the disturbance caused by the air intake of the air compressor. In other embodiments, the axis of the air inlet 21 can also be set to form other angles relative to the axis of the first tube body 1, for example, the air inlet 21 is inclined toward the air outlet end of the first tube body 1 and forms an angle of 70° to 80° with the axis of the first tube body 1, for example, the air inlet 21 is inclined 15° toward the air outlet end of the first tube body 1 and forms an angle of 75° with the axis of the first tube body 1.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the second tube body 2 close to the mounting seat 11 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body 1 through a funnel-shaped first connector, such as Figure 2 As shown, the larger end of the first connector is fixedly connected to one end of the second tube body 2 close to the mounting seat 11, and the smaller end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body 1. The funnel-shaped first connector forms the bottom of the first airflow cavity A. When the airflow reaches the bottom of the first airflow cavity A, the funnel-shaped structure of the first connector forms an extrusion effect, which is conducive to the airflow to flow out of the air intake port 21 more stably. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connector can also be set to other shapes, such as a plate-shaped structure that meets the vertical condition with the axis of the first tube body 1.

[0031] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 On the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the utility model provides a mounting tube for an air flow meter. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the mounting tube of the second embodiment also includes a barrel-shaped body 5, and the barrel-shaped body 5 is buckled on the part of the first tube body 1 close to the air outlet end along the axial direction of the first tube body 1, and the part of the first tube body 1 buckled by the barrel-shaped body 5 is located between the air outlet end of the first tube body 1 and the mounting seat 11. The end of the barrel-shaped body 5 close to the mounting seat 11 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body 1, and the part of the barrel-shaped body 5 other than the first tube body 1 forms a second airflow cavity B, that is, the second airflow cavity B connected to the first tube body 1 is formed between the inner wall of the barrel-shaped body 5 and the outer wall of the first tube body 1. The side wall of the barrel-shaped body 5 is provided with an air outlet of the second airflow cavity B. It should be noted that the side wall of the barrel-shaped body 5 refers to the part other than the bottom of the barrel-shaped body 5 (that is, the part directly opposite to the air outlet end of the first tube body 1). Figure 4 As shown by the arrow in , the airflow flows out of the first tube body 1 and enters the second airflow chamber B. Since the bottom of the barrel body 5 is opposite to the air outlet end of the first tube body 1, the airflow direction changes and finally flows out from the air outlet located on the side wall of the barrel body 5. It is easy to understand that when the mounting tube is used, the air outlet on the side wall of the barrel body 5 is connected to other parts of the engine intake pipeline.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, by providing a barrel-shaped body 5 to form a second airflow chamber B, the interference of the downstream airflow on the measured gas in the first tube body 1 can be reduced. For example, the ventilation of the crankcase generally introduces the airflow from the crankcase into the engine intake pipe. In order to avoid the influence of the ventilation airflow of the crankcase on the measurement work of the air flow sensor 4, the outlet of the second airflow chamber B is connected to the outlet pipe 6, and the pipe wall of the outlet pipe 6 is provided with an access port 7 for connecting to the crankcase ventilation pipe. In a preferred embodiment, the axis of the outlet pipe 6 and the axis of the first tube body 1 meet the vertical condition, that is, the axis of the outlet pipe 6 and the axis of the first tube body 1 are perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to each other. In other embodiments, the axis of the outlet pipe 6 can also be set to form other angles relative to the axis of the first tube body 1, for example, the outlet pipe 6 is inclined toward the intake end of the first tube body 1 and forms an angle of 70° to 80° with the axis of the first tube body 1, for example, the outlet pipe 6 is inclined 15° toward the intake end of the first tube body 1 and forms an angle of 75° with the axis of the first tube body 1.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the axis of the access port 7 and the axis of the air outlet pipe 6 meet the vertical condition, that is, the axis of the access port 7 and the axis of the air outlet pipe 6 are perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to each other. In other embodiments, the axis of the access port 7 can also be set to form other angles relative to the axis of the air outlet pipe 6, for example, the access port 7 is inclined toward the barrel 5 and forms an angle of 70° to 80° with the axis of the air outlet pipe 6, for example, the access port 7 is inclined toward the barrel 5 by 15° and forms an angle of 75° with the axis of the air outlet pipe 6.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the air outlet pipe 6 is integrally formed with the barrel-shaped body 5. In other embodiments, the air outlet pipe 6 can also be connected to the barrel-shaped body 5 by welding. In order to achieve a closed connection between the end of the barrel-shaped body 5 close to the mounting seat 11 and the outer wall of the first tube body 1, a funnel-shaped second connector can be provided at the connection between the barrel-shaped body 5 and the first tube body 1. The larger end of the second connector is fixedly connected to the end of the barrel-shaped body 5 close to the mounting seat 11, and the smaller end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first tube body 1. After the airflow comes out from the air outlet end of the first tube body 1, it enters the second airflow cavity B. When the airflow reaches the funnel-shaped second connector, the local space of the second airflow cavity B is narrowed, and an extrusion effect is formed, which is conducive to the airflow to flow out of the air outlet more stably. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connector can also be set to other shapes, such as a plate-like structure that meets the vertical condition with the axis of the first tube body 1.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, in order to achieve better anti-interference effect and minimize the interference of downstream airflow on the measured gas in the first tube body 1, in this embodiment, the position of the air outlet end of the first tube body 1 is beyond the position of the center of the air outlet along the direction in which the first tube body 1 extends into the barrel-shaped body 5. Specifically, in order to take into account both good anti-interference effect and compact structural layout, the length of the part of the first tube body 1 extending into the barrel-shaped body 5 is generally not less than half of the length of the second airflow cavity B along the axial direction of the first tube body 1. On this basis, the position of the air outlet end of the first tube body 1 is preferably set to be flush with the side of the air outlet close to the bottom of the barrel-shaped body 5 (i.e., the side away from the mounting seat 11).

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the airflow in the first tube body 1 and further ensure the accuracy of gas measurement, the air inlet end of the first tube body 1 is generally provided with a rectifying plate 3 with rectifying holes, and specifically, the rectifying holes can be set to be circular. In addition, the rectifying plate 3 can be replaced by a grid, which also realizes the rectifying effect on the airflow to improve the stability of the airflow in the first tube body 1.

[0037] The utility model also provides an engine intake pipe, which includes the air flow meter installation pipe disclosed in the above embodiment. Since the air flow meter installation pipe disclosed in the above embodiment has the above technical effects, the engine intake pipe having the air flow meter installation pipe also has the above technical effects, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0038] The utility model also provides a car, the car comprises the above engine intake pipe. Similarly, the technical effect of the car with the engine intake pipe can be seen from the above introduction of the air flow meter installation pipe, which will not be repeated here.

[0039] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
