Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intercoolers, in particular to an intercooler with an air outlet pipe that is convenient to disassemble and assemble. Background Art

[0002] The engine intercooler outlet pipe is a connector between the radiator intercooler and the engine intake pipe. It transfers the supercharged and intercooled mixed gas from the radiator intercooler to the intake pipe and then into the combustion chamber, and finally participates in combustion and work. Because the pressure of the compressed mixed gas after supercharging and intercooling is very high, the intercooler outlet pipe is generally welded with stainless steel pipes with high pressure resistance.

[0003] At present, when installing the engine air intake pipe and the intercooler air outlet pipe, connecting plates are usually fixedly installed on the side walls of the engine air intake pipe and the intercooler, and then two or more connecting grooves are opened at both ends of the connecting plates. Then, when installing, the connecting plates of the engine air intake pipe and the side walls of the intercooler can be connected, and then the connecting grooves of the two can be bolted together by multiple sets of bolts, so as to facilitate use.

[0004] Although this installation structure is relatively convenient in use, since the engine air intake pipe and the intercooler air outlet pipe are installed at the bottom of the car, they are usually installed by manually drilling into the lower end of the car during car maintenance. This results in the engine air intake pipe and the connecting groove on the connecting plate of the side wall of the intercooler not being easy to align directly when a single person operates, and there is a lack of positioning components, which affects the installation efficiency. In view of this, we propose an intercooler with an air outlet pipe that is easy to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: an intercooler with an outlet pipe that is easy to disassemble and assemble, comprising an intake pipe 1 and an outlet pipe 2, an upper connecting plate 10 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the intake pipe 1, a lower connecting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the outlet pipe 2, a positioning structure 3 is arranged inside the upper connecting plate 10, the positioning structure 3 comprises a device groove 31 opened on both sides of the upper connecting plate 10, one end of a positioning spring 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the device groove 31, a slide plate 33 is fixedly installed on the other end of the positioning spring 32, a positioning block 34 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the slide plate 33, positioning grooves 35 are opened on both sides of the lower connecting plate 5, two groups of connecting grooves 36 are opened on the surface of the upper connecting plate 10, through grooves are opened on the surfaces of both sides of the lower connecting plate 5, bolts 37 are penetrated through the connecting grooves 36 and the through grooves, nuts 38 are threadedly connected to the surfaces of the bolts 37, and a sealing structure 4 is arranged inside the upper connecting plate 10.

[0025] Specifically, the positioning structure 3 of the technical solution of the utility model includes: a device groove 31, a positioning spring 32, a slide plate 33, a positioning block 34, a positioning groove 35, a connecting groove 36, a bolt 37, and a nut 38.

[0026] In one embodiment of the utility model, a positioning structure 3 is provided to facilitate preliminary positioning of the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 5 when they are connected, so as to facilitate the subsequent positioning of the connecting groove 36 and the through groove and the installation bolt 37. During installation, the user can directly contact the upper end of the lower connecting plate 5 with the lower end of the upper connecting plate 10. At this time, it is only necessary to ensure that the upper connecting plate 5 and the lower connecting plate 10 are tightly connected. At this time, the positioning block 34 on the side wall of the upper connecting plate 10 is squeezed by the upper end of the lower connecting plate 5 and enters the interior of the installation groove 31. By setting the positioning block 34 and the positioning groove 35 as arc structures, the two are conveniently connected.

[0027] Then, the lower connecting plate 5 can be directly rotated, and the positioning groove 35 on the side wall of the lower connecting plate 5 is moved to the positioning block 34 on the side wall of the upper connecting plate 10. At this time, the positioning block 34 is quickly returned to its original position under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the positioning spring 32 on its side wall, so as to be engaged with the positioning groove 35, thereby completing the preliminary positioning, and there is no need to move the lower connecting plate 5 again. Then, the bolts 37 and the nuts 38 can be directly installed, and the bolts 37 can be directly removed during disassembly, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the device.

[0028] By setting up the sealing structure 4, it is convenient to seal the connection between the air inlet pipe 1 and the air outlet pipe 2 through the annular airbag 43 after the installation of the two. When the bolt 37 is installed, the bolt 37 will move inside the connecting groove 36 and squeeze the inclined pressure plate 47. At this time, the inclined pressure plate 47 moves through the sleeve 8 of its side wall. The sleeve 8 moves up and down on the surface of the sliding rod 7, and the sleeve 8 will also squeeze the return spring 9 when moving, which is convenient for subsequent return, so that the inclined pressure plate 47 moves downward to squeeze the upper end of the inflatable airbag 44, so that the upper end of the inflatable airbag 44 is deformed and then the gas inside it is passed into the annular airbag 43 through the ventilation pipe 45, so that the annular airbag 43 expands and seals the connection between the air inlet pipe 1 and the air outlet pipe 2, thereby improving the sealing of the device when in use. The upper end of the inclined pressure plate 47 is set as an inclined surface and is adapted to the position of the bolt 37, so that it is convenient to squeeze the inclined pressure plate 47 downward during the movement of the bolt 37.

[0029] Please continue reading Figure 1-Figure 5 The sealing structure 4 includes an annular groove 41 opened inside the upper connecting plate 10, a support ring 42 is arranged inside the annular groove 41, an annular airbag 43 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support ring 42, an inflatable airbag 44 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 41, the inflatable airbag 44 and the annular airbag 43 are connected through a vent pipe 45, a through hole 46 is opened on the side wall of the connecting groove 36, an inclined pressure plate 47 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 46, and slide grooves 6 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the through hole 46, and a slide rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide groove 6 7. A sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide bar 7. The side wall of the sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inclined pressure plate 47. A return spring 9 is arranged on the surface of the slide bar 7. One end of the return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 6, and the other end of the return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve 8. The annular airbag 43 is half filled with gas, and the inflatable airbag 44 is in a state of being filled with gas. The upper end of the inclined pressure plate 47 is arranged as an inclined surface and is adapted to the position of the bolt 37. The lower end of the inclined pressure plate 47 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inflatable airbag 44.

[0030] During operation, the upper end of the lower connecting plate 5 is directly contacted and aligned with the lower end of the upper connecting plate 10. At this time, the positioning block 34 of the side wall of the upper connecting plate 10 is squeezed by the upper end of the lower connecting plate 5 to enter the inside of the device groove 31, and then the lower connecting plate 5 is directly rotated. After the positioning groove 35 of the side wall of the lower connecting plate 5 moves to the positioning block 34 of the side wall of the upper connecting plate 10, the positioning block 34 is quickly returned to the position under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the positioning spring 32 of the side wall, so as to be clamped with the positioning groove 35, and then the bolt 37 and the nut 38 can be directly installed. At this time, the bolt 37 will move inside the connecting groove 36 and press against the oblique pressure when moving. The plate 47 is squeezed, and at this time the inclined pressure plate 47 moves through the sleeve 8 of its side wall, and the sleeve 8 moves up and down on the surface of the slide rod 7, and the sleeve 8 will also squeeze the return spring 9 when moving to facilitate the subsequent return, so that the inclined pressure plate 47 moves downward to squeeze the upper end of the inflatable airbag 44, so that the upper end of the inflatable airbag 44 is deformed and then the gas inside it is passed into the annular airbag 43 through the ventilation pipe 45, so that the annular airbag 43 expands to seal the connection between the inlet pipe 1 and the outlet pipe 2. When disassembling, the bolts 37 can be directly removed, which improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the device.

[0031] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
