[0002] The three-way catalytic converter is the most important off-board purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx into harmless CO2, water, and N2. It is typically installed at the front end of the vehicle's underbody exhaust assembly, with its ends connected to the vehicle's exhaust pipe and muffler. The three-way catalytic converter primarily consists of the following components: housing, catalyst gasket, catalytic coating, gas channel, ceramic carrier, metal carrier, sealing material, temperature sensor, and pressure sensor.

[0003] Most inspections of the three-way catalytic converter only require confirming the status of the internal parts of the three-way catalytic converter. However, when the existing three-way catalytic converter bracket is removed, the three-way catalytic converter will fall directly from the bottom of the vehicle. The workers then have to remove the three-way catalytic converter from the bottom of the vehicle, observe it, and then lift the three-way catalytic converter to install it. The process of removing the three-way catalytic converter from the bottom of the vehicle and lifting it to install it is time-consuming and laborious.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve a vehicle three-way catalytic converter bracket to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

When the bolts at the connection between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are unscrewed, the clamp assembly rotates around the rotating shaft through the rotating plate. Under the action of gravity, the clamp assembly is located below the rotating shaft. At this time, the clamp assembly is in an inspection position, and there is no need for workers to remove the three-way catalytic converter from the bottom of the vehicle for inspection and then lift the three-way catalytic converter for installation, thereby saving the workers' time and physical strength in the process of removing the three-way catalytic converter from the bottom of the vehicle and lifting the three-way catalytic converter for installation.
