[0002] SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology is one of the main post-treatment technologies for eliminating nitrogen oxides in diesel engine exhaust. According to the function, it is mainly divided into three parts: control unit, urea dosing unit and catalytic reaction unit; the control unit is integrated with the engine control unit, mainly used to implement the SCR control strategy, and control the urea dosing unit according to the sensor signals such as exhaust temperature, urea temperature, urea pressure, etc., and spray the urea solution into the exhaust gas flow in a timely and quantitative manner according to the demand; the urea dosing unit is used for the full atomization and decomposition of the urea solution; the catalytic reaction unit is mainly used to reduce the main harmful components of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water. The SCR mixer is a device set between the engine exhaust pipe and the SCR carrier, mainly used to improve the uniformity of the mixing of urea and exhaust gas and improve the NOx conversion efficiency.

The large coverage area of ​​the guide plate further increases the back pressure of the SCR mixer and even the entire after-treatment system, which is easy to cause gas blockage and thus increase the engine fuel consumption and increase the cost. Moreover, the method of arranging the outer tube outside the inner tube increases the complexity of the structure and the manufacturing process, and requires the inner tube and the outer tube to have good concentricity, which increases the difficulty of manufacturing the equipment and is not conducive to the simplification of the equipment.

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In the prior art, for example, the patent number is CN201921651177.2, and the patent name is an engine aftertreatment system and its SCR mixer; it discloses that an outer tube is arranged outside an inner tube, and leakage holes are arranged on the inner tube and the outer tube. The gas is mixed in the mixing tube through the leakage holes of the inner tube and the leakage holes of the outer tube, which increases the gas back pressure; a guide plate with a large coverage area is also arranged outside the outer tube, which further increases the back pressure of the SCR mixer. The large back pressure easily leads to gas blockage, thereby increasing the engine fuel consumption and increasing the cost; and the inner tube and the outer tube need to have good concentricity, which increases the complexity of the equipment and the difficulty of manufacturing.

[0037] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in the form of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The present application relates to an SCR mixer, such as Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, it is used to mix urea with exhaust gas to produce mixed gas, including a connecting shell 1 and a cylinder assembly 2 connected to the connecting shell 1; the cylinder assembly 2 includes an air intake cylinder 21 and an air outlet cylinder 22 distributed along the axial direction; the air intake cylinder 21 has an air inlet for the exhaust gas to enter, and the air outlet cylinder 22 has an exhaust area for discharging the mixed gas.

[0039] It should be noted that the cylinder assembly 2 is a cylindrical structure, with an air inlet cylinder 21, the baffle 23 described below, and an air outlet cylinder 22 connected in sequence along its axial direction; the baffle 23 connects the air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22 to the two sides of the baffle 23 respectively, and the baffle 23 protrudes beyond the outer circumferential surface of the air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22 for connection with the inner wall of the connecting shell 1; the connecting shell 1 in the present application and the internal air inlet cylinder 21, baffle 23 and air outlet cylinder 22 of the cylinder assembly 2 can be connected by welding or by snap-on connection, and the specific connection method is not limited by the present embodiment.

[0040] Exhaust gas is input into the air inlet of the air inlet cylinder 21 of the cylinder assembly 2, and urea is sprayed into the air inlet through the nozzle outside the air inlet, so that the urea undergoes hydrolysis and pyrolysis reactions under the action of the high-temperature exhaust gas to generate the required reducing agent ammonia, and the ammonia is fully mixed with the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas. The mixed gas only needs to enter the air outlet cylinder 22 through the axially distributed air inlet cylinder 21 and be discharged through the air outlet cylinder 22. The gas rotates at a high speed in the air inlet cylinder 21 and is fully mixed with the ammonia after the decomposition of urea. Since the present application adopts the axially distributed air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22, and no sleeved outer tube is set on the outer side of the air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22, the mixed gas does not need to be discharged through the outer tube, thereby reducing the back pressure of the gas;

[0041] In addition, the air outlet 22 is provided with an exhaust area, and the mixed gas can be directly discharged to the outside through the exhaust area, which increases the speed of gas discharge, reduces the back pressure in the entire mixer, and increases the smoothness of the gas, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of the engine and saving costs. There is no need to install an outer tube, and only a single-layer tube structure is required, which avoids the requirement for neutrality brought about by the combination of the inner tube and the outer tube, further reduces the structural complexity of the entire mixer, simplifies the structure, and reduces the process difficulty.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the mixer further comprises a rectifying plate 3, and the rectifying plate 3 is connected to the connecting shell 1 corresponding to the exhaust area; Figure 3 As shown, the rectifier plate 3 is provided with a flow hole 7 for discharging the mixed gas discharged from the exhaust area. The design of the rectifier plate 3 can adjust the uniformity of ammonia distribution on the outlet surface, so that the system as a whole meets the National VI post-treatment emission requirements. At the same time, the design of the opening of the rectifier plate 3 can also reduce the system back pressure, thereby reducing the engine fuel consumption and improving economy.

[0043] The rectifier plate 3 at least partially blocks the exhaust area; Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the rectifying plate 3 is designed to be a semicircular structure, and is located in the middle of the rectifying plate 3 and is provided with a flange 10 in the direction away from the outlet pipe 22 to avoid the outlet pipe 22. Because the rectifying plate 3 corresponds to the circumferential surface of the outlet pipe 22, in order to avoid interference between the outer wall of the circumferential surface of the rectifying plate 3 and the outlet pipe 22 when the rectifying plate 3 and the outlet pipe 22 are connected to the shell, resulting in the inability to install, a flange 10 with an outward protrusion 13 is provided on the side of the rectifying plate 3 corresponding to the outlet pipe 22; the rectifying plate 3 can partially block the exhaust area, thereby reducing the coverage area of ​​the rectifying plate 3 relative to the outlet pipe 22, further reducing the back pressure of the mixer, so that the gas discharged from the exhaust area can flow out quickly, improving the gas discharge speed, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of the engine.

[0044] The flow holes 7 at least cover a part of the flange 10. The flow holes 7 can be selected according to actual needs, and can be evenly distributed or unevenly distributed. The shape of the flow holes 7 can also be selected according to actual needs, and can be a long strip hole, a circular hole, or a semicircular hole, which is not limited to the present embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the flow holes 7 of the rectifying plate 3 are designed to have a circular hole in the main part, and the first row of positions close to the upper side of the rectifying plate 3 are set as semicircular holes.

[0045] The flange 10 is provided with a first flow hole 8 and a second flow hole 9 on both sides thereof, and the first flow hole 8 and the second flow hole 9 are used to discharge the mixed gas discharged from the exhaust area. In order to further increase the flow velocity and flow area of ​​the gas and improve the smoothness of the gas, the flange 10 is provided with a first flow hole 8 and a second flow hole 9 for gas discharge, respectively, to further effectively reduce the actual coverage area of ​​the rectifier plate 3 corresponding to the gas outlet 22, to achieve rapid gas discharge, reduce gas back pressure and thus reduce fuel consumption.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the air intake cylinder 21 has a connection portion connected to the connection shell 1 on one side close to the air intake port, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes 5 are provided around the periphery of the connection portion.

[0047] The connecting portion is annular in structure, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes 5 are provided in the circumferential direction of the connecting portion. The heat dissipation holes 5 can be evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion or unevenly distributed. The shape of the heat dissipation holes 5 can be a long hole or a circular through hole. The specific structure and layout are not limited by this embodiment.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the end of the connecting part is connected to the inner wall of the connecting shell 1, and the connecting part and the connecting shell 1 can be welded together. A large amount of heat will be generated during the welding process. If it is not discharged in time, it will easily cause thermal expansion and deformation of the air intake cylinder 21, resulting in the inability to use the equipment normally. Therefore, heat dissipation holes 5 are evenly distributed on the circumferential side of the connecting part; moreover, urea and high-temperature exhaust gas both enter the air intake cylinder 21 through the air inlet, and high heat is easily generated at the moment of passing through the air inlet. If this part of the heat is not discharged in time, it will easily cause stress concentration in the air intake cylinder 21 and further deformation. Therefore, multiple heat dissipation holes 5 are added to achieve timely dissipation of heat, avoid stress concentration and deformation, and maintain the service life of the equipment.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the exhaust area of ​​the exhaust pipe 22 is distributed along the circumferential direction of the exhaust pipe 22, a plurality of exhaust holes 6 are opened in the exhaust area, and one end of the exhaust pipe 22 along the axial direction has an exhaust port.

[0050] After the urea and exhaust gas entering the air intake cylinder 21 are mixed at a high speed in the air intake cylinder 21, the urea undergoes hydrolysis and pyrolysis reactions under the action of the high-temperature exhaust gas to generate the required reducing agent ammonia. The mixed gas after the ammonia and exhaust gas are fully mixed in the air intake cylinder 21 enters the air outlet cylinder 22, and is first discharged through the exhaust area distributed in the circumferential direction of the air outlet cylinder 22, so a plurality of exhaust holes 6 for discharging the mixed gas are arranged in the exhaust area; in this embodiment, no specific restriction is made on the structure of the exhaust holes 6, and the exhaust holes 6 can be arranged in the exhaust area in a uniform or non-uniform manner, and the shape of the exhaust holes 6 can be a long hole, a circular hole, a semicircular hole, or the like.

[0051] Part of the mixed gas entering the air outlet tube 22 is discharged through the exhaust hole 6 in the exhaust area, and the other part enters the bottom of the air outlet tube 22, so an exhaust port is set at the bottom of the air outlet tube 22. The exhaust port and the air inlet are arranged relative to each other, which is conducive to the smooth flow of gas. This part of the gas is smoothly discharged through the exhaust port and is diverted through the spoiler 4 described below.

[0052] Furthermore, the mixer also includes a spoiler 4 connected to the connecting shell 1 , the spoiler 4 corresponds to the exhaust port and is separated from the exhaust port by a preset distance, and the mixed gas discharged from the exhaust port passes through the spoiler 4 for diversion.

[0053] A part of the mixed gas is dispersed outward through the exhaust hole 6 in the exhaust area, and another part of the mixed gas enters the bottom area of ​​the gas outlet cylinder 22 because it is not discharged from the exhaust area. This part of the mixed gas is directly discharged through the exhaust port set at the bottom of the cylinder, and in the process of being discharged through the exhaust port, it contacts the spoiler 4 located below the exhaust port and is diverted. The diverted gas is divided into two paths, one path is discharged toward the rectifier plate 3 through the flow hole 7, the first flow hole 8 and the second flow hole 9 on the rectifier plate 3, and the other path flows toward the side away from the rectifier plate 3 and hits the inner wall of the connecting shell 1 and then returns to the exhaust hole 6, enters the gas outlet cylinder 22 through the exhaust hole 6, and then outputs toward the rectifier plate 3, and is discharged through the flow hole, the first flow hole 8 and the second flow hole 9 of the rectifier plate 3;

[0054] Therefore, by setting the spoiler 4, the fluidity of the gas is further increased, and the uniformity of the distribution of ammonia in the cylinder assembly 2 is further improved, so that the ammonia and the exhaust gas are fully mixed, and the flow performance and smoothness of the gas are improved, and the gas is prevented from accumulating in a certain place. By increasing the gas passage, the gas can be quickly discharged, which further reduces the back pressure and improves the fuel consumption of the engine.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the cylinder assembly 2 further includes a baffle 23 ; the baffle 23 is connected between the air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22 , and is connected to the connecting shell 1 through the baffle 23 .

[0056] The following embodiments are adopted in this application for the structure of the baffle 23, and the structure of the baffle 23 is not limited to this embodiment:

The four ends of the baffle 23 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the connecting shell 1. The baffle 23 is provided with mounting positions for installing the air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22. The air inlet cylinder 21 and the air outlet cylinder 22 are stably connected to the inside of the connecting shell 1 through the baffle 23.

[0058] The protrusion 13 on the baffle plate 23 facing the air inlet 21 is annular in structure, and a through hole is provided inside the protrusion 13, so that the protrusion 13 has an inner circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface of the protrusion 13 forms a mounting position for clamping the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22. When in use, the air inlet 21 is inserted from the top downward into the inner circumferential surface of the protrusion 13, and the air outlet 22 is inserted from the bottom upward into the inner circumferential surface of the protrusion 13, so as to realize the detachable connection between the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 and the baffle plate 23. When disassembly is required, the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 can be directly pulled out from the baffle plate 23, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly between the internal structures of the cylinder assembly 2, and is convenient for cleaning and timely replacement.

[0059] Embodiment 2: A first boss is provided on one side of the baffle plate 23 facing the air inlet cylinder 21, and a second boss is provided on one side of the baffle plate 23 facing the air outlet cylinder 22. The first boss and the second boss are hollow cylindrical structures.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the chassis 11 is a box structure with a certain height. The chassis 11 is a hollow structure, and the cavity therein is used to install the air intake cylinder 21, the baffle 23 and the air outlet cylinder 22. A through hole is provided at one end of the chassis 11 corresponding to the air inlet of the air intake cylinder 21, and the through hole is used to allow urea to enter the air inlet through the through hole under the spraying action of the nozzle, and the through hole is connected with the air inlet to allow the exhaust gas to enter the air intake cylinder 21 through the through hole and the air inlet.

[0064] The first connecting pipe is connected to the tail pipe of the automobile. The tail pipe of the automobile directly inputs the exhaust gas into the collector through the first connecting pipe. A catalyst is arranged in the first connecting pipe to oxidize the harmful gas nitric oxide (NO) in the exhaust gas into nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The nitrogen dioxide gas passes through the collector. The collector captures the particles by alternately blocking the inlet and outlet of the collector carrier hole to force the airflow through the porous wall surface. The capture efficiency is more than 90%, which effectively reduces PM2.5 and other emission pollutants in the exhaust gas. When too much ash is captured, fuel injection is required to regenerate the DPF. The carbon dioxide gas that removes pollutants enters the SCR mixer and mixes with urea. The urea undergoes hydrolysis and pyrolysis reactions under the action of high-temperature exhaust gas to generate the required reducing agent ammonia (NH3). The ammonia and nitrogen dioxide gases are fully mixed in the SCR mixer and output to the second connecting pipe. In the second connecting pipe, ammonia (NH3) selectively reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) to harmless nitrogen (N2) under the action of a catalyst and is discharged through the second connecting pipe.
