[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pre-catalytic converters, and particularly relates to a pre-catalytic converter assembly. Background Art

[0002] The pre-catalytic converter is the most important purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system. It can convert harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides discharged from automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions.

[0003] The existing pre-catalytic converter includes a catalytic converter cylinder body with an air inlet end and an air outlet end, and a three-way catalyst core body arranged inside the catalytic converter cylinder body. The air inlet end of the catalytic converter cylinder body is connected to the exhaust outlet of the engine. After the automobile exhaust emitted by the engine enters the inside of the catalytic converter cylinder body and undergoes oxidation and reduction reactions through the three-way catalyst core body, it is discharged from the air outlet end of the catalytic converter cylinder body. The inner diameter of the air inlet end of the catalytic converter cylinder body is generally smaller than the inner diameter of the catalytic converter cylinder body and the cross-section of the three-way catalyst core body. Therefore, the automobile exhaust flowing into the catalytic converter cylinder body from the air inlet end of the catalytic converter cylinder body concentrates on flushing the center of the end face of the three-way catalyst core body. When the automobile exhaust enters the catalytic converter cylinder body and contacts the three-way catalyst core body, the divergence is poor, resulting in easy carbon deposition at the center position of the three-way catalyst core body.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pre-catalytic converter assembly to solve the above technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0031] It should be noted that: by arranging the separator 10 in the air inlet 4, the tail gas entering through the air inlet 4 can be divided by the separator 10, so that the flow direction of the tail gas is changed.

[0032] By arranging the dispersion plate 8, the entering tail gas can be further dispersed through a plurality of dispersion holes 9, improving the dispersion of the tail gas and further preventing carbon deposition at the central position of the three-way catalyst core 6, which affects subsequent use.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 3 as shown, the sides of adjacent separator plates 13 are connected to both sides of a second separator plate 14, and the second separator plate 14 is inclined.

[0034] It should be noted that by setting the second partition plate 14 at an angle, the space between the partition plates 13 can be further divided to improve the dispersion of the treated exhaust gas, and by setting the second partition plate 14 at an angle, the dispersion of the treated exhaust gas can be further improved.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the air intake pipe 2 is provided with a plurality of sliding holes 11, and the inner wall of the air intake port 4 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves.
