[0019] Optionally, a plurality of grooves are arranged on the air inlet shell and the air outlet shell respectively, one side of each groove having the step, the clamping portion being located in the groove and clamped with the step.
[0020] Optionally, the integrated intercooler air inlet manifold further comprises:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] In the description of the present embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "front", "back" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model.
[0045] Figure 1 is a schematic front view of an integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 according to one specific embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 2 is a schematic rear view of an integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 according to one specific embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 3 is a schematic structural view of an exhaust housing 12 according to one specific embodiment of the present utility model.
[0046] As one specific embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in Figures 1-3 , the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 includes an intake housing 11, an intercooler 20 and an exhaust housing 12 which are sequentially communicated from top to bottom, and the gas flows to the exhaust housing 12 after uniformly flowing through the intercooler 20 from the intake housing 11. The bottom of the exhaust housing 12 is provided with at least one flow guide rib 30, and the bottom of the exhaust housing 12 is divided into a plurality of water receiving portions 121 with substantially the same area by the at least one flow guide rib 30, so that the amount of condensed water of each water receiving portion 121 is equivalent.
[0047] Here, it can be understood that the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 is arranged vertically, so that the condensed water can directly fall to the bottom of the outlet shell 12 under the action of gravity. The high-temperature gas flows from the inlet shell 11 into the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100, and then uniformly distributes through the intercooler 20 at the inlet shell 11. Under the action of the intercooler 20, the high-temperature gas is cooled, and a part of the gas is condensed to form condensed water and drips from the intercooler 20 to the bottom of the outlet shell 12. Because the gas uniformly flows to the intercooler 20, the amount of condensed water condensed at different positions of the intercooler 20 is basically the same. In the embodiment, the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 is arranged in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 can be arranged in a vertical inclination. In some embodiments, the intercooler 20 is a water-cooled intercooler 20.
[0048] In some embodiments, the number of the flow guide ribs 30 can be one, two or even more. Specifically, the number of the flow guide ribs 30 in the embodiment is two. The two flow guide ribs 30 divide the bottom of the outlet shell 12 into three water receiving parts 121 with substantially the same area, and the three water receiving parts 121 correspond to three cylinders of an automobile engine respectively. In this way, the condensed water can uniformly flow to the three cylinders of the engine, avoiding that the condensed water in a certain cylinder is too much to cause the cylinder to misfire.
[0049] The embodiment of the utility model discloses at least one flow guide rib 30 is arranged at the bottom of the outlet shell 12, and the flow guide rib 30 divides the bottom of the outlet shell 12 into a plurality of water receiving parts 121 with substantially the same area, so that the amount of condensed water in each water receiving part 121 is equivalent, and the condensed water uniformly flows to each cylinder of the engine from the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100, which can realize uniform distribution and avoid that the uneven distribution of condensed water causes a certain cylinder to misfire and affects driving safety, thereby improving the safety of the automobile.
[0050] Figure 4 It is the schematic structural diagram of the flow guide rib 30 according to one specific embodiment of the utility model. As shown in Figure 4 In some embodiments, a plurality of outlets 123 can be arranged at the side wall 122 of the outlet shell 12, each outlet 123 corresponds to one water receiving part 121 to make the condensed water in the water receiving part 121 flow out from the corresponding outlet 123, and the lowest part of the outlet 123 is lower than the top of the flow guide rib 30.
[0051] Specifically, each outlet 123 of the air outlet shell 12 corresponds to one cylinder of the engine, and the condensed water flows from the outlet 123 to the corresponding cylinder. The lowest part of the outlet 123 is lower than the top of the flow guide rib 30, which can ensure the shunting effect of the flow guide rib 30. Before the water collecting part 121 is filled with condensed water, the condensed water flows out of the outlet 123 and does not flow to the adjacent water collecting part 121. In this way, the condensed water can be uniformly introduced into each cylinder of the engine.
[0052] Figure 5 is a schematic sectional view of an integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 according to one specific embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5 In some embodiments, the air inlet shell 11 can include an air inlet 111 and an air inlet channel 112 leading to the intercooler 20. The top of the air inlet channel 112 extends from one end of the intercooler 20 away from the air inlet 111 to the other end close to the air inlet 111 in sequence by a first slope 113 and a second slope 114. The slope of the first slope 113 is smaller than the slope of the second slope 114.
[0053] Specifically, high-temperature gas enters the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100 from the air inlet 111 of the air inlet shell 11, and then passes through the second slope 114 and the first slope 113 in sequence. The second slope 114 has a larger slope and a smaller opening size, which can make the air intake more smooth and guide the gas into the air inlet shell 11, reducing the air intake resistance. The smaller the slope, the slower the flow rate of the gas, and the gas has a more gentle diffusion process after entering the first slope 113 with a smaller slope, so that the gas can be more evenly distributed in the air inlet channel 112, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the mass flow rate in the air inlet channel 112.
[0054] In this way, the gas is evenly distributed at the end face of the air inlet, which is beneficial to the uniform flow of the gas to the intercooler 20, and further ensures that the condensed water separated from the intercooler 20 can uniformly fall to the bottom of the air outlet shell 12, so that the amount of condensed water in each water collecting part 121 is equivalent, thereby making the condensed water distribution uniform. When the engine is working, the amount of condensed water obtained by each cylinder is equivalent, which can avoid the situation that the amount of condensed water of individual cylinders is too large to cause the engine to stall, and can ensure the normal work of each cylinder. This embodiment can adjust the uniformity of the airflow on the intercooler 20 air inlet face, so that the uniformity of the entire air inlet face reaches more than 95%.
[0055] In addition, the uniform distribution of the gas in the air inlet channel 112 can uniformly flow to each part of the intercooler 20, which can ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the intercooler 20.
[0056] In some embodiments, the channel connected with the air inlet 111 is in a circular arc shape, which can effectively guide and straighten the air intake, which is beneficial to reducing the flow resistance of the gas and facilitating the flow of the gas.
[0057] In some embodiments, the slope of the first inclined surface 113 can be any value in the range of 6-8°, for example, 6°, 6.5°, 7°, 7.5°, 8°. In this embodiment, the slope of the first inclined surface 113 is 7°. In other embodiments, the slope of the first inclined surface 113 can be set according to actual needs.
[0058] In some embodiments, the slope of the second inclined surface 114 can be any value in the range of 30-40°, for example, 30°, 32°, 34°, 36°, 38°, 40°. In this embodiment, the slope of the second inclined surface 114 is 30°. In other embodiments, the slope of the second inclined surface 114 can be set according to actual needs.
[0059] Here, the slope of the first inclined surface 113 refers to the angle between the plane where the first inclined surface 113 is located and the horizontal direction, and the slope of the second inclined surface 114 refers to the angle between the plane where the second inclined surface 114 is located and the horizontal direction.

[0062] This embodiment adopts the mode of cooperation between the connecting portions 21 and the steps 13, which can take into account the manufacturing tolerance and the use durability, and can improve the structural stability of the integrated intercooler air intake manifold 100.

[0066] Specifically, the clamping portion 211 protrudes from the connecting portion 21 and is clamped with the step 13. Compared with the case where the end of the connecting portion 21 is bent to form the clamping portion 211 and then clamped with the step 13, in the embodiments of the present application, the clamping portion 211 extends in the first direction, which can increase the clamping size of the clamping portion 211 and the step 13, improve the connection strength of the intercooler 20 and the intake shell 11 or the exhaust shell 12, and improve the structural stability of the integrated intercooler intake manifold 100, so that the intercooler 20 and the intake shell 11 or the intercooler 20 and the exhaust shell 12 can be stably connected together.
