[0002] The three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system. It plays a vital role in reducing harmful substances in automobile exhaust. The three-way catalytic converter is a device that can convert harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons) and NOx (nitrogen oxides) in automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. This conversion process relies on the purifier in the catalyst, usually precious metals such as platinum, rhodium and palladium. When high-temperature automobile exhaust passes through the three-way catalytic converter, the purifier in the catalyst will enhance the activity of these three harmful gases, prompting them to undergo redox chemical reactions. The three-way catalytic converter is an indispensable component in the automobile exhaust system. It is of great significance to reducing harmful substances in automobile exhaust and protecting the environment and human health. If the three-way catalytic converter is damaged or fails, the harmful substances in the automobile exhaust will not be effectively converted, thereby polluting the environment.
[0003] After long-term use, the intake end cone of the three-way catalytic converter will be affected by impurities in the exhaust gas, causing the intake end cone to become blocked, thereby causing the performance of the three-way catalytic converter to decline due to the blockage of the intake end cone, affecting the use of the three-way catalytic converter and reducing the catalytic efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust gas.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The utility model is an air intake structure of a three-way catalytic converter, comprising a three-way catalytic converter body, an air intake end cone connected to the three-way catalytic converter body, a mounting cylinder arranged inside the air intake end cone, a circular ring mounted on one end of the mounting cylinder, a filter mounted on the other end of the mounting cylinder, the filter arranged inside the air intake end cone, a cylinder mounted on one side of the circular ring, the circular ring and the cylinder both fitted on the air intake end cone, a placement groove being provided on one side of the circular ring, and a pull plate being mounted inside the placement groove via a hinge.
[0007] Furthermore, the other end of the three-way catalytic converter body is connected to the exhaust manifold.
[0008] Furthermore, an end cone inlet is provided at one end of the intake end cone, the end cone inlet is connected to the end cone gradually expanding outlet, and the end cone gradually expanding outlet is connected to the three-way catalytic converter body.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing flange is installed at the other end of the intake end cone.
[0010] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the side wall of the air inlet end cone, and a circular hole is provided inside the groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the inside of the slot is matched with a circular ring, and the circular hole is matched with the cylinder.
[0012] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The utility model has a mounting cylinder sleeved on the inside of the intake end cone, and the mounting cylinder and the circular ring form a whole. The filter at one end of the mounting cylinder can intercept and filter impurities in the inflowing exhaust gas, thereby improving the catalytic efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust gas. When the filter of the mounting cylinder inside the intake end cone is clogged, the sealing flange installed with the external exhaust gas delivery pipe is disassembled, and the intake end cone, the three-way catalytic converter body and the exhaust manifold can be separated from the external exhaust gas delivery pipe. The circular ring and the cylinder are separated from the card slot and the inside of the circular hole, which makes it convenient for the user to remove the mounting cylinder from the inside of the intake end cone with the circular ring, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the filter.
