[0002] The three-way catalyst is the most important purification agent installed in the automobile exhaust system. When the high-temperature automobile exhaust comes into contact with the three-way catalyst, the three-way catalyst will enhance the activity of the three gases CO, HC and NOx in the automobile exhaust, prompting them to undergo certain oxidation-reduction chemical reactions, turning the three harmful gases into harmless gases, thereby purifying the automobile exhaust.

The cooled exhaust gas is transported into the combustion pot 7 through the second pipe 6. An igniter 71 whose lower end extends into the combustion pot 7 is installed on the upper end of the combustion pot 7. The igniter 71 cooperates with the combustion pot 7 to perform secondary combustion on the cooled exhaust gas. The delivery pipe 8 is connected and installed on the right end of the combustion pot 7.

[0034] A first air supply pipe 72 with a control valve connected to the rear end of the combustion pot 7 is connected and installed to the front end of the left side of the first main pipe 73.

Then connect the second connecting pipe 75 to the outlet portion of the first air extraction device. Connect the second manifold 85, which is located at the front side of the rack 2 and arranged horizontally, to the other end of the second connecting pipe 75. The first connecting pipe 14, the first air extraction device, and the second connecting pipe 75 work together to transport the natural gas flowing in the air intake pipe 32 to the second manifold 85.

[0036] A first compensation pipe 74 with a control valve connected to the front end of the combustion tank 7 is connected to the left rear end of the second main pipe 85. Natural gas is supplied to the combustion tank 7 through the first compensation pipe 74. Two second compensation pipes 84 with control valves connected to the front end of the delivery pipe 8 are symmetrically connected and installed to the rear end of the second main pipe 85. The two second compensation pipes 84 are used in conjunction with each other to supply natural gas to the delivery pipe 8.
[0037] An air-fuel ratio sensor 83 extending into the delivery pipe 8 and located to the right of the second compensation pipe 84 is installed on the front end of the right side of the delivery pipe 8. The air-fuel ratio sensor 83 is used to detect the air-fuel ratio in the delivery pipe 8. A first sensor extending into the first pipe 4 is installed on the upper end of the first pipe 4. The first sensor is used to detect the temperature of the exhaust gas transported in the first pipe 4. A second sensor extending into the second pipe 6 is set on the upper end of the second pipe 6.

Through the controller 11, the collected data can be analyzed and calculated, and electronic components such as the air supply pump 12 and the compensation pump 13 can be controlled.
[0040] When in use, natural gas is first delivered to the burner body 3 through the air inlet pipe 32, and air is simultaneously delivered to the burner body 3 through the air inlet pipe 31. At this time, ignition is performed in the burner body 3, so that the natural gas is burned in a lean manner in the burner body 3, thereby generating high-temperature exhaust gas;
[0041] The high-temperature exhaust gas is then transported to the cooler 5 through the first pipe 4. The cooler 5 cools the high-temperature exhaust gas. The cooled exhaust gas is then transported to the combustion tank 7 through the second pipe 6. At the same time, the exhaust gas is subjected to secondary combustion in the combustion tank 7 by the igniter 71, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. Finally, through multi-stage linkage combustion, the combustion ratio of natural gas to air is achieved to be equivalent.
[0042] The deoxygenated gas is then delivered to the reaction tank 9 through the delivery pipe 8 and the first tapered cylinder 91, thereby performing an aging test on the three-way catalyst in the reaction tank 9. This effectively simulates the environment experienced by the three-way catalyst in the reaction tank 9, thereby replacing the traditional natural gas engine bench for aging testing and effectively reducing testing costs.
[0043] In addition, the air supply pump 12 and the compensation pump 13 are started. The air supply pump 12 works to deliver the outside air along the third connecting pipe 86, the first main pipe 73 and the first air supply pipe 72 to the combustion tank 7, thereby providing oxygen for the secondary combustion in the combustion tank 7. The compensation pump 13 works to deliver the natural gas in the intake pipe 32 along the first connecting pipe 14, the second connecting pipe 75, the second main pipe 85 and the first compensation pipe 74 to the combustion tank 7, thereby providing natural gas for the ignition of the secondary combustion in the combustion tank 7.
[0044] The air-fuel ratio sensor 83 collects the air-fuel ratio data of the gas transported in the delivery pipe 8, transmits the air-fuel ratio information to the controller 11, analyzes and calculates the air-fuel ratio data, and then controls the air supply pump 12, the compensation pump 13, the control valve on the second air supply pipe 81, and the control valve on the second compensation pipe 84 to operate, thereby transporting air and natural gas into the delivery pipe 8, adjusting the gas ratio concentration in the delivery pipe 8, effectively ensuring the simulated environment effect, and improving the experimental quality.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second conical cylinder 92, which is arranged to be wider on the left and narrower on the right, is connected and installed on the right end of the reaction tank 9. The second conical cylinder 92 can be used to collect waste from the reaction tank 9 to facilitate discharge operations, and the through pipe 93 is connected and set on the right end of the second conical cylinder 92. The second conical cylinder 92 and the through pipe 93 are used in conjunction to discharge the gas generated in the reaction tank 9.
[0046] A straight cylinder 96 is installed on the upper end of the base plate 1, and a stud 95 extending from the lower end into the straight cylinder 96 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the straight cylinder 96. The arc-shaped support plate 94 attached to the lower outer end of the reaction tank 9 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the stud 95. The straight cylinder 96, the stud 95 and the arc-shaped support plate 94 are used in conjunction with each other to lift the reaction tank 9.
[0047] The right end of the arc-shaped support plate 94 is hinged to the lower end of the reaction tank 9 by a hinge, and multiple handle rods 951 arranged in a circle and located on the upper side of the straight cylinder 96 are equidistantly set on the upper outer end of the stud 95. The multiple handle rods 951 are used together to facilitate the rotation of the stud 95.
[0048] After the aging test of the three-way catalyst in the reaction tank 9 is completed, the stud 95 is rotated. Since the stud 95 is threadedly connected to the straight cylinder 96, the stud 95 rotates and moves downward, thereby moving the arc-shaped support plate 94 downward, so that the reaction tank 9 rotates around the hinge, and the reaction tank 9 is tilted with the left side higher and the right side lower, so that the aged three-way catalyst in the reaction tank 9 enters the second tapered cylinder 92;
[0049] The second conical cylinder 92 will collect the aged three-way catalyst to the connection position between the second conical cylinder 92 and the through pipe 93, and then discharge the aged three-way catalyst through the through pipe 93. The discharged aged three-way catalyst is then tested to complete the experimental operation, so as to realize the convenient material extraction of the aged three-way catalyst in the reaction tank 9, effectively reduce the material extraction time, and improve work efficiency.
[0050] Although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
