[0060] Based on the above design concept, an exemplary structure of the ventilation structure for the powertrain in this embodiment is as Figure 1 shown. In terms of the overall structure, the ventilation structure for the powertrain in this embodiment is used to connect the air cleaner 3 and the powertrain.

[0061] Among them, hereinafter, taking the powertrain including a transmission as an example for illustration, the transmission includes a transmission housing 103 and a power transmission mechanism provided in the transmission housing 103. A transmission mechanism accommodating cavity is provided in the powertrain housing 1 of the powertrain.

[0062] Specifically, the powertrain includes a powertrain housing 1, the powertrain housing 1 includes a transmission housing 103, a transmission mechanism accommodating cavity is provided in the transmission housing 103, and the transmission mechanism accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the power transmission mechanism of the transmission. A communication port 1021 communicating with the transmission mechanism accommodating cavity is provided on the powertrain housing 1, and the communication port 1021 is specifically located at the top of the powertrain housing 1.

[0063] The ventilation structure in this embodiment mainly includes a connecting pipe 2. One end of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to the first air outlet 3012 of the air filter 3, and the other end of the connecting pipe 2 is connected to the connecting port 1021. Among them, the gas flowing out of the first air outlet 3012 is the gas after the air is filtered at the first stage by the air filter 3. With the above structure, the gas filtered by the air filter 3 can enter the powertrain through the connecting pipe 2, which can better prevent pollutants from entering the powertrain and is beneficial to extending the service life of the powertrain.

[0064] As Figure 1 shown in combination with Figure 2 For the convenience of connecting with the air filter 3 and the powertrain, the connecting pipe 2 includes a first pipe 201, an intermediate pipe 202, and a second pipe 203 that are connected in sequence. The first pipe 201 is connected to the first air outlet 3012 of the air filter 3, and the second pipe 203 is connected to the connecting port 1021 of the powertrain.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the first pipe 201 and the second pipe 203 can be made of existing plastic materials. As Figure 3 shown, the intermediate pipe 202 is a corrugated pipe. The connection between the intermediate pipe 202 and the first pipe 201 can be achieved through an existing clamp, and the connection between the intermediate pipe 202 and the second pipe 203 can also use a clamp. It should be understood that in addition to using a clamp for the connection structure here, other existing connection methods between pipe bodies can also be used.

[0066] It should be noted that in the above structure, the connecting pipe 2 includes the first pipe 201, the intermediate pipe 202, and the second pipe 203, and the intermediate pipe 202 is a corrugated pipe, so that the connecting pipe 2 can be applicable to a variety of vehicle models and has a wide range of applications.

[0067] In addition, it is also possible that the first pipe 201, the intermediate pipe 202, and the second pipe 203 are connected as a whole. When the connecting pipe 2 is arranged on the vehicle body, the connecting pipe 2 can be fixed to the nearby vehicle body parts through an existing pipe fixing structure. Along the extending direction of the connecting pipe 2, the pipe fixing structures can be multiple arranged at intervals, which can stably fix the connecting pipe 2 and ensure the neatness of the parts on the vehicle body.

[0068] As Figure 1 and Figure 7 shown, the first air outlet 3012 is located at the upper part of the filter housing 301 of the air filter 3. In a preferred embodiment, the first pipe 201 is in an "L" shape and includes a first longitudinal pipe 2011 and a first transverse pipe 2012 that are connected together. The first longitudinal pipe 2011 is arranged vertically along the height direction of the vehicle. One end of the first longitudinal pipe 2011 away from the first transverse pipe 2012 is connected to the first air outlet 3012, and one end of the first transverse pipe 2012 away from the first longitudinal pipe 2011 is connected to the intermediate pipe 202.

[0069] Here, the first pipe 201 includes a first longitudinal pipe 2011 and a first transverse pipe 2012, which facilitates connection to the first air outlet 3012 and the intermediate pipe 202 respectively, and is convenient to be arranged on the vehicle.

[0070] For convenient connection, as a preferred embodiment, one end of the first pipe 201 away from the intermediate pipe 202 is connected to the first air outlet 3012 through a first pipe joint 4, and one end of the second pipe 203 away from the intermediate pipe 202 is connected to the communication port 1021 through a second pipe joint 5. It should be understood that it is also possible to directly connect the first pipe 201 and the first air outlet 3012, and it is also possible to directly connect the second pipe 203 and the communication port 1021.

[0071] In the above structure, the first pipe 201 is connected to the first air outlet 3012 through the first pipe joint 4, and the second pipe 203 is connected to the communication port 1021 through the second pipe joint 5. Both the first pipe joint 4 and the second pipe joint 5 can adopt existing standard parts, with low cost and convenient connection.

[0072] In terms of the specific structure, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second pipe joint 5 includes a first joint pipe 501, a connecting pipe 502, and a second joint pipe 503 that are connected in sequence. The first joint pipe 501 is inserted and connected to the second pipe 203, and the second joint pipe 503 is inserted into the communication port 1021. Here, the second pipe joint 5 includes a first joint pipe 501, a connecting pipe 502, and a second joint pipe 503 that are connected in sequence, which facilitates connection to the second pipe 203 and the communication port 1021 respectively.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, transverse plates 5021 and longitudinal plates 5022 are arranged orthogonally on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 502. One end of the transverse plate 5021 and the longitudinal plate 5022 are connected together, and the angle between the transverse plate 5021 and the axis of the connecting pipe 502 is an acute angle, and the angle between the longitudinal plate 5022 and the axis of the connecting pipe 502 is also an acute angle. By providing the transverse plates 5021 and the longitudinal plates 5022 on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 502, the structural strength of the connecting pipe 502 can be improved. When the second pipe joint 5 is connected to the communication port 1021, the transverse plate 5021 can abut against the upper surface of the powertrain housing 1, specifically referring to the shell wall part where the communication port 1021 is formed, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the insertion of the second pipe joint 5 at the communication port 1021.

[0074] Continuing to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, as a preferred embodiment, reinforcing ribs 5023 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 502. In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 5023 include a first reinforcing rib 5023 and a second reinforcing rib 5023. The first reinforcing rib 5023 extends along the axial direction of the connecting pipe 502, and the second reinforcing rib 5023 extends around the circumferential direction of the connecting pipe 502. The first reinforcing rib 5023 and the second reinforcing rib 5023 are cross-connected, which can preferably improve the structural strength of the connecting pipe 502.

[0075] It should be understood that the shapes of the first reinforcing rib 5023 and the second reinforcing rib 5023 are not limited to the above description and Figure 6 the structure shown in the figure. Their shapes, numbers, and arrangement manners can be adjusted according to actual needs as long as they can preferably improve the structural strength of the connecting pipe 502.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of convex rings 5011 are provided on the outer wall of the first joint pipe 501. The plurality of convex rings 5011 are arranged at intervals along the insertion direction of the first joint pipe 501 into the second pipe 203. In this embodiment, there are three convex rings 5011, and each convex ring 5011 is frustum-shaped. The large-diameter ends of the convex rings 5011 are arranged close to the connecting pipe 502, and the small-diameter ends of the convex rings 5011 are arranged close to the connecting pipe 502. With such a setting, it is convenient for the first joint pipe 501 to be inserted into the second pipe 203, and it is beneficial to improve the reliability of the insertion connection between the first joint pipe 501 and the second pipe 203.

[0077] It should be understood that the number of the convex rings 5011 is not limited to three. For example, it can be one, two, four, etc., and the shape of the convex ring 5011 is not limited to frustum-shaped. For example, it is also feasible that the cross-section of the convex ring 5011 is semi-circular.

[0078] Still referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a retaining ring 5031 is provided at the end of the second joint pipe 503. The retaining ring 5031 extends radially outward along the second joint pipe 503. When the second joint pipe 503 is inserted into the communication port 1021, the retaining ring 5031 is used to prevent the second joint pipe 503 from disengaging from the communication port 1021, and a plurality of notches 5032 are provided at one end of the wall of the second joint pipe 503 away from the connecting pipe 502. The plurality of notches 5032 are circumferentially spaced apart around the second joint pipe 503.

[0079] Specifically, when the second joint pipe 503 is inserted into the communication port 1021, the edge of the communication port 1021 can be blocked outside the retaining ring 5031, which has a good effect of preventing the second joint pipe 503 from disengaging from the communication port 1021.

[0080] In the above structure, the arranged retaining ring 5031 is conducive to improving the reliability of the insertion connection between the second joint pipe 503 and the communication port 1021. The arranged notch 5032 enables the diameter of the second joint pipe 503 to become smaller when the second joint pipe 503 is inserted into the communication port 1021, facilitating the smooth insertion of the second joint pipe 503 into the communication port 1021. After the second joint pipe 503 is inserted in place, the pipe wall of the second joint pipe 503 resets, causing the edge of the communication port 1021 to be blocked outside the retaining ring 5031.

[0081] More specifically, in this embodiment, the number of notches 5032 is four. It should be understood that other numerical values for the number of notches 5032 are also feasible, such as three, five, etc.

[0082] Still referring to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the powertrain housing 1 includes a flywheel housing 101, a motor housing 102, and a transmission housing 103 that are connected in sequence. Among them, the flywheel housing 101 is used to accommodate the flywheel in the powertrain, the motor housing 102 is used to accommodate the motor in the powertrain, and a transmission mechanism accommodating cavity is provided in the transmission housing 103 for accommodating the power transmission mechanism of the transmission in the powertrain. The communication port 1021 in this embodiment is specifically located at the top of the motor housing 102.

[0083] Here, making the powertrain housing 1 include the flywheel housing 101, the motor housing 102, and the transmission housing 103, and arranging the communication hole at the top of the motor housing 102 has a good ventilation effect, and oil is not easily splashed into the communication pipe 2, which is applicable to the architecture where the transmission and the motor are integrated.

[0084] It should be noted that the powertrain housing 1 in this embodiment is the housing applicable to the integrated structure of the transmission and the motor. Since the spaces in the flywheel housing 101, the motor housing 102, and the transmission housing 103 are connected, and the top position of the motor housing 102 is the highest, therefore, arranging the communication port 1021 on the motor housing 102 in this embodiment is conducive to ventilating the power transmission mechanism in the transmission. In the actual powertrain housing 1, preferably, the communication port 1021 is arranged at the highest point of the powertrain housing 1.

[0085] Referring to Figure 1 And in combination with Figure 7As shown, the air filter 3 of this embodiment mainly includes a filter housing 301, and a first filter part 302 and a second filter part 303 disposed within the filter housing 301. Among them, the filter housing 301 is provided with an air inlet 3011, a first air outlet 3012, and a second air outlet 3013. Along the direction from the air inlet 3011 to the second air outlet 3013, the first filter part 302 and the second filter part 303 are arranged in sequence, and there is a gap 304 between the first filter part 302 and the second filter part 303. The first air outlet 3012 communicates with the gap 304.

[0086] In the above structure, the air filter 3 includes the first filter part 302 and the second filter part 303, and the first air outlet 3012 communicates with the gap 304 between the first filter part 302 and the second filter part 303, so that the gas entering the powertrain is the gas filtered by the first filter part 302. The gas filtered by the second filter part 303 can enter the air inlet 3011 of the engine through the second air outlet 3013 via a pipeline. Even if the connection parts of the connecting pipe 2 are disconnected, it has little impact on the gas entering the engine, which is beneficial to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the engine.

[0087] It should be noted that Figure 7 The structure shown is only an exemplary structure. When the first filter part 302 and the second filter part 303 are specifically arranged, they can be arranged in sequence on the path where the air inlet 3011 communicates with the air outlet. And the connection position of the first air outlet 3012 is behind the first filter part 302 and in front of the second filter part 303, that is, preferably, the gas entering the powertrain is the gas filtered by the first filter part 302 at the first stage. In addition, when there is only one filter part in the filter housing 301, the first air outlet 3012 on the filter housing 301 is the air outlet communicating with the air inlet 3011 of the engine.
