[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11As shown, the present utility model discloses a connecting pipe assembly 100 configured for an engine exhaust aftertreatment device. The connecting pipe assembly 100 includes a nut seat 1, an adapter 2, an air pipe 3, and a bolt 4.

[0034] The nut seat 1 is provided with an air flow channel 10 and an internal thread 11 exposed within the air flow channel 10.

[0035] The adapter 2 includes a first end 21, a second end 22 opposite to the first end 21, a perforation 20 passing through the first end 21 and the second end 22, and a mounting hole 23 communicating with the perforation 20.

[0036] The air pipe 3 is fixed to the adapter 2 and communicates with the perforation 20.

[0037] The bolt 4 is provided with a bolt portion 41 having an external thread 411. The bolt portion 41 passes through the perforation 20 and makes the external thread 411 fit tightly with the internal thread 11. The contact portion between the first end 31 of the adapter 2 and the bolt 4 is sealed. The contact portion between the second end 22 of the adapter 2 and the nut seat 1 is sealed. The bolt portion 41 is provided with a hollow cavity 410 and an air hole 412 communicating with the cavity 410. The air hole 412 communicates with the air pipe 3.

[0038] Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, the nut seat 1 is provided with a third end 13 and a fourth end 14 opposite to the third end 13, and the air flow channel 10 at least penetrates the third end 13. In the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, the air flow channel 10 penetrates the third end 13 and the fourth end 14.

[0039] The second end 22 of the adapter 2 and the third end 13 of the nut seat 1 are sealed by mutually abutting conical surfaces. In the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, the third end 13 of the nut seat 1 is provided with a protruding first conical surface 131, and the second end 22 of the adapter 2 is provided with a concave second conical surface 221. The first conical surface 131 abuts against the second conical surface 221 to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0040] The bolt 4 is provided with a head 42 connected to the bolt portion 41. The head 42 is provided with a protruding third conical surface 421, and the first end 21 of the adapter 2 is provided with a concave fourth conical surface 211. The third conical surface 421 abuts against the fourth conical surface 211 to achieve a better sealing effect.

[0041] In the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, the head 42 includes a hexagonal surface 422 to facilitate screwing the bolt 4 into the nut seat 1.

[0042] In the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, a mark 423 is provided on the head 42 of the bolt 4 to ensure that when the bolt 4 is fastened to the nut seat 1, the air hole 412 can be directly opposite to the air pipe 3. The mark 423 is only for identification and its form can be various. In the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, the mark 423 is a groove. When the bolt 4 is fastened to the nut seat 1, the joint of the external thread 411 and the internal thread 11 is sealed.

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, the adapter 2 is provided with a lateral protrusion 24, and the mounting hole 23 is provided in the protrusion 24. At least a part of the air pipe 3 is inserted into the mounting hole 23 of the protrusion 24 and is fixedly welded to the protrusion 24. Those skilled in the art can understand that by changing the size of the mounting hole 23 (for example, machining mounting holes 23 with different sizes), air pipes 3 with different pipe diameters can be matched. At this time, other parts of the connecting pipe assembly 100 of the present utility model, such as the nut seat 1 and the bolt 4, do not need to be changed, thereby reducing the cost.

[0044] In addition, in the illustrated embodiment of the present utility model, there are two air holes 412 which penetrate the wall of the bolt part 41. The adapter 2 is further provided with an annular buffer space 25 communicated with the air holes 412. When the bolt part 41 passes through the through hole 20, the bolt part 41 located in the through hole 20 is surrounded by the buffer space 25, and the buffer space 25 can provide more inflow channels for the air flow flowing from the air pipe 3 to the air holes 412, which is beneficial to reducing the back pressure. Specifically, when the air flow flows from the air pipe 3 to the air holes 412, a part of the air flow can directly flow into the cavity 410 through one air hole 412 facing the air pipe 3, and another part of the air flow can pass through the buffer space 25 and flow into the cavity 410 through the other air hole 412.

[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and do not limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. The understanding of this specification should be based on those skilled in the art. Although this specification has described the present utility model in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that those skilled in the art can still modify the present utility model or make equivalent replacements, and all technical solutions and their improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
