Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle exhaust monitoring, and particularly relates to an automobile tail pipe adapter device. Background Art

[0002] Before a vehicle is launched on the market, it needs to undergo various mandatory tests required by the state. Only after all the tests are passed can it be sold on the market. Emission testing is one of the mandatory tests before an automobile product is launched.

[0003] During emission testing, the vehicle is fixed on a dynamometer in an environmental chamber, and the exhaust tail pipe is connected to a gas analysis device. The vehicle is started to operate under specific working conditions, and the gas analysis device samples and analyzes the gas discharged from the exhaust tail pipe. When the test results meet the regulatory requirements, the test can pass.

[0004] During the emission test, a rubber sleeve is usually used in the laboratory to connect the exhaust tail pipe and the receiving pipe of the gas analysis device. The end of the rubber sleeve wraps around the outer wall of the exhaust tail pipe to form a sealed structure, so that the discharged exhaust gas can be completely transported to the gas analysis device. For example, the patent document with the application number CN201920300738.8 discloses a single-pipe automobile exhaust gas adapter tool, which includes a metal hose in the middle and rubber hoses at both ends. The rubber hoses can be sleeved on the automobile tail pipe.

Detailed implementation mode

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 In this embodiment, a vehicle exhaust gas adapter device is provided in the implementation manner of the first aspect, which includes a first adapter 1 made of an elastic material and a second adapter 2 made of a rigid material. Specifically:

[0032] A first exhaust gas passage 11 that penetrates along its own axis is formed in the middle of the first adapter 1. A first adapter portion 12 and a first connection portion 13 are respectively formed at positions close to both ends of the first exhaust gas passage. The outer wall of the first adapter portion 12 has a frustum-shaped first adapter surface 121 with an outer diameter gradually decreasing towards the end, and the inner wall of the first connection portion has a cylindrical first mating surface 131;

[0033] A second exhaust gas passage 21 that penetrates along its own axis is formed in the middle of the second adapter 2. A second adapter portion 22 and a second connection portion 23 are respectively formed at positions close to both ends of the second exhaust gas passage. The outer wall of the second adapter portion has a cylindrical second adapter surface 221, and the inner wall of the second connection portion has a cylindrical second mating surface 231;

[0034] Referring to Figure 2 , in the natural state, the diameter of the first mating surface is the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the second mating surface. When the second connection portion 23 is inserted into the inner side of the first connection portion 13, the first mating surface and the second mating surface can be attached and form a sealed connection. At the same time, the first exhaust gas passage and the second exhaust gas passage are integrally connected;

[0035] Referring to Figure 3, when the present utility model is in use, the first adapter part of the first adapter 1 is inserted into the interior of the automobile tail pipe 3. Since the first adapter surface is in a frustum structure, when the inner diameter of the automobile tail pipe is between the maximum radius and the minimum radius of the frustum structure, there will always be a matching area corresponding to the inner diameter size of the automobile tail pipe on the first adapter surface. The first adapter surface can be in contact and cooperate with the automobile tail pipe through this matching area. At the same time, because the first adapter is made of an elastic material, the matching area can deform and be hermetically connected to the automobile tail pipe, enabling the exhaust gas to be completely transferred from the automobile tail pipe to the first exhaust gas passage. The second connecting part of the second adapter 2 is inserted into the inner side of the first connecting part of the first adapter and forms a sealed connection by using the elastic material of the first adapter. The second adapter part provides an installation site for the rubber sleeve 4, enabling the exhaust gas to be transported to the detection device through the rubber sleeve.

[0036] In order to ensure airtightness of the present utility model, the connecting part of the two independent components should satisfy that the contact surface of one component is elastic and the contact surface of the other component is rigid. Usually, the simplest way is to design the first connecting piece as a whole made of an elastic material. However, in other embodiments, making part of the first connecting piece elastic and part rigid can also meet the above requirements. For example: elastic layers are provided at the first adapter surface and the second adapter surface of the first connecting piece, and other parts of the first connecting piece are rigid. The two design methods have different advantages. The former is easier to process, and the latter has a non-deformable overall structure and better stability when connecting to the automobile tail pipe.

[0037] Refer to Figure 4 , in a further embodiment of the present embodiment, the second adapter part further includes a first limiting convex block 232. The first limiting convex block has a first abutting surface perpendicularly connected to the second mating surface. When the first adapter and the second adapter are assembled, the first abutting surface abuts against the end of the first adapter part, preventing the second adapter from excessively squeezing the first adapter from the inside and preventing damage to the first adapter.

[0038] Refer to Figure 5 , in a further embodiment of the present embodiment, a first annular sealing part 233 that protrudes outward relative to the second mating surface and extends circumferentially around the second mating surface is provided in the middle of the second mating surface. When the second connecting part is inserted into the inner side of the first connecting part, a greater pressure will be formed between the first annular sealing part 233 and the first connecting surface, improving the connection stability between the first adapter and the second adapter. And in some cases, the protruding structure formed by the first annular sealing part also provides a fixing site for the hoop. If necessary, a hoop can also be bound outside the first connecting part to improve airtightness and connection stability. Similarly, a second annular sealing part 222 with a similar structure can also be provided on the second adapter surface.

[0039] Refer to Figure 6, in a further implementation manner of this embodiment, the second adapter further includes an external connection portion 24 disposed between the second connection portion and the second connection part. The external connection portion includes a mounting base block 241 and a pull ring 242. The mounting base block has a mounting hole, and the pull ring is movably connected to the mounting base block through the mounting hole. An external pull hole is formed in the middle of the pull ring. Refer to Figure 7 , when the utility model is in use, the pull ring can be connected to a strap, and an axial pulling force is applied to the second adapter through the strap, so that the connection between the second adapter and the first adapter and the connection between the first adapter and the automobile tail pipe are made more tight, improving the connection stability and air tightness.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] Refer to Figure 7 , the utility model provides an automobile exhaust gas adapter device, which includes a first adapter made of an elastic material and a second adapter made of a rigid material. Different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the first mating surface 131 is formed by the outer wall of the first connection part, and the second mating surface is formed by the inner wall of the second connection part. When the first adapter and the second adapter are assembled, the first connection part is inserted into the inside of the second connection part, so that the first mating surface and the second mating surface are attached to form a sealed connection.

[0042] Refer to Figure 8 , in a further implementation manner, the first connection part further includes a second limiting convex block protruding relative to the first mating surface. The second limiting convex block has a second abutting surface perpendicularly connected to the first mating surface. When the first adapter and the second adapter are assembled, the second abutting surface abuts against the end of the second connection part, preventing the first connection part from being inserted too deep.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
