[0036] The terms "include", "contain" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, in addition to including the listed elements, other elements not explicitly listed can also be included.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiment provides an air inlet pipe, which comprises a pipe body 10, the pipe body 10 comprises an upper shell 16 and a lower shell 17, the upper shell 16 and the lower shell 17 are enclosed to form a closed body with both ends being permeable, and the upper shell 16 and the lower shell 17 are provided with a flow passage for airflow. The two ends of the pipe body 10 are respectively an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12, a flow guide channel is formed in the pipe body 10, the two ends of the flow guide channel are communicated with the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 respectively, and the cross-sectional area of the flow guide channel gradually decreases in the air inlet direction.

[0038] In the embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the flow guide channel in the pipe body 10 is designed to gradually decrease, that is, the space of the flow guide channel in the pipe body 10 gradually decreases in the air inlet direction. When the airflow flows through the flow guide channel, the flow rate of the airflow in the flow guide channel can be increased due to the gradually decreasing space of the flow guide channel, so that the air inlet efficiency of the air inlet pipe is higher, more air inlet quantity is provided for the engine, and the combustion efficiency of the engine is ensured.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ( Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In order to show the internal structure, the upper shell 16 of the pipe body 10 is hidden, the pipe body 10 includes the air inlet section 13, the air guide section 14 and the air outlet section 15 connected in sequence along the extension direction of the pipe body 10, the air inlet 11 is located in the air inlet section 13, the air outlet 12 is located in the air outlet section 15, the flow guide channel is located in the air guide section 14, the air flow channels are arranged in the air inlet section 13 and the air outlet section 15, the air flow channels in the air inlet section 13 and the air outlet section 15 are communicated with the flow guide channel, the cross-sectional area of the pipe body at the air guide section 14 gradually decreases, specifically, the side walls of the pipe body at the air guide section 14 gradually close to each other, as shown in Figure 5 The first pipe wall 141 at the bottom of the pipe body 10 at the air guide section 14 gradually inclines upward in the air inlet direction, the pipe wall at the top of the pipe body 10 opposite to the first pipe wall 141 at the air guide section 14 keeps the same height, then the spacing between the top pipe wall and the first pipe wall 141 gradually decreases, and the space between the top pipe wall and the first pipe wall 141 gradually decreases, so that the air flow rate is increased, and more air is provided for the engine.

[0040] In addition, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to further increase the air flow rate, the port cross-sectional area of the air guide section 14 is greater than that of the air inlet section 13 at the port connecting the air inlet section 13 and the air guide section 14, specifically, the height of the first pipe wall 141 at the bottom of the air guide section 14 is lower than that of the second pipe wall 131 at the bottom of the air inlet section 13, the second pipe wall 131 of the air inlet section 14 extends downwardly with a connecting wall 130, the connecting wall 130 is connected with the first pipe wall 141 of the air guide section 14, so that the air guide section 14 has a larger accommodation space to accommodate the air flow after the air flow flows from the air inlet 11 of the air inlet section 13 into the air guide section 14, and then the air flow rapidly passes through the air guide section 14 under the guidance of the air guide section 14, thereby increasing the air inlet efficiency.

[0041] And, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air flow channel is arranged in the air outlet section 15, the air flow channel is communicated with the flow guide channel, the cross-sectional area of the air outlet section 15 gradually increases in the air inlet direction, specifically, the first pipe wall 141 at the air guide section 14 gradually inclines upward in the air inlet direction, and the third pipe wall 151 at the bottom of the air outlet section 15 gradually inclines downward, the first pipe wall 141 and the third pipe wall 151 are connected at the port connecting the air guide section 14 and the air outlet section 15, since the inclination directions of the first pipe wall 141 and the third pipe wall 151 are opposite, the accommodation space of the pipe body 10 at the air outlet section 15 gradually increases, the air flow is accelerated in the air guide section 14 and rapidly flows into the air outlet section 15, the air outlet section 15 can provide a larger space to accommodate the air flow, and then the air flow is transmitted to the engine, and the air inlet efficiency is further increased in the air flow transmission process.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the air inlet section 13 is connected with the air guide section 14 at an angle, which is convenient for adapting to the narrow space in the vehicle and is flexible for installation in the vehicle. Furthermore, the pipe body 10 is provided with a wind deflector 132 on the inner wall of the air inlet section 13. The wind deflector 132 is arc-shaped and is adapted to the curved shape between the air inlet section 13 and the air guide section 14. The wind deflector 132 guides the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 to the air guide section 14, thereby improving the air intake efficiency.

[0043] Further, the upper shell 16 and the lower shell 17 of the pipe body 10 are detachably connected, which is convenient for installation and maintenance of the air inlet pipe. Specifically, as shown in Figures 6 to 8 , the upper shell 16 is provided with a flange 161 along the periphery thereof, and the lower shell 17 has two opposite side walls 171. The side walls 171 of the lower shell 17 are provided with protrusions 172. The surface of the protrusions 172 facing the opposite side walls 171 is a guide surface 1721. The guide surface 1721 gradually moves away from the corresponding side wall 171 in the direction extending from the upper shell 16 to the lower shell 17. The lower shell 17 has a stop portion 173 below the protrusions 172. The upper shell 16 can be elastically deformed, for example, made of plastic material, and can be elastically deformed appropriately and has a certain strength. When the upper shell 16 and the lower shell 17 are installed, the lower shell 17 is first fixed in the vehicle, and then the upper shell 16 is covered on the lower shell 17. During the process of covering the lower shell 17, the upper shell 16 is gradually deformed and adapted to the guide surface 1721 of the protrusions 172. After the upper shell 16 completely passes through the lower shell 17, the upper shell 16 elastically deforms to the initial state and is finally clamped between the protrusions 172 and the stop portion 173. The flange 161 of the upper shell 16 is fixed by the protrusions 172 and the stop portion 173, thereby fixing the upper shell 16 and the lower shell 17 together. When the upper shell 16 needs to be disassembled, the user pinches the two sides of the upper shell 16 to make the upper shell 16 deform. After the upper shell 16 deforms, the flange 161 on the two sides of the upper shell 16 is out of contact with the protrusions 172. At this time, the upper shell 16 can be removed. After the upper shell 16 is removed, the upper shell 16 elastically deforms back to the initial state.

[0044] As described above, the air inlet pipe provided by the embodiment gradually reduces the cross-sectional area of the air guide section 14 to accelerate the flow rate of the airflow, thereby increasing the air intake amount of the engine. The air guide section 14 and the air inlet section 13 improve the air flow rate by the size difference of the port at the connection. The air outlet section 15 provides a larger air storage capacity by the variable cross-section and volume, thereby further increasing the air intake efficiency and ensuring the combustion efficiency in the engine.

[0045] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown in the figure, the embodiment also provides an automobile air intake structure, which comprises an air cleaner 20, a vehicle head 30 and the air intake pipe as described above, the vehicle head 30 is provided with an air inlet, which is an opening of a conventional automobile for air intake, and an air inlet block 31 is arranged at the air inlet, the air inlet block 31 is provided with an opening, and the opening is communicated with the air inlet 11. The air intake pipe is communicated with the air inlet through the air inlet 11 of the air intake section 13, and the air intake section 13 is detachably connected with the vehicle head 30, for example, coaxial screw holes are arranged on the air intake section 13 and the vehicle head 30, and a screw 40 is screwed into the screw holes of the air intake section 13 and the vehicle head 30 to fixedly connect the air intake section 13 and the vehicle head 30, the air outlet 12 of the air intake pipe is communicated with the air cleaner 20, the air cleaner 20 is communicated with an engine, and the air intake section 13 of the air intake pipe is provided with a buffer block 50 at the connection position with the vehicle head 30, the buffer block 50 is also provided with an opening, the screw 40 is screwed into the opening of the buffer block 50, the buffer block 50 is arranged between the air intake section 13 and the vehicle head 30, and the buffer block 50 can reduce the vibration of the air intake pipe when the vehicle is running, and the buffer block 50 can be made of porous polyurethane.

[0046] In summary, the automobile air intake structure provided by the embodiment can improve the air intake efficiency, provide sufficient air intake for the engine, and protect the air intake pipe by arranging the buffer block 50, so that the relative displacement between the vehicle head 30 and the air intake pipe is avoided when the vehicle is running, and the air intake pipe is not firmly connected or damaged.
