Furthermore, the increased gap after raising the slots affects the welding and fixing effect.

Method used

An internal component is designed in which the tabs of the partition include arcuate protrusions that are inserted into slots and abut against the surface of the slots to ensure that the welding gap is within a predetermined range and to achieve a stable weld.

Benefits of technology

The design of the arc-shaped convex bulge and the slot hole reduces the welding gap, improves the welding and fixing effect of the baffle and partition, solves the problems of part deformation and increased gap, and ensures the stability and assembly quality of the muffler.
