[0017] The embodiments and drawings are combined below Figs. 1-2 The technical scheme of the utility model is further described.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] The utility model provides an automobile exhaust pipe of self cooling, which comprises an exhaust main pipe 1, a spiral continuous fin 2 fixed to the outside of the exhaust main pipe 1 and a heat exchange sleeve 3 arranged outside the spiral continuous fin 2 with a gap, wherein the exhaust main pipe 1 and the heat exchange sleeve 3 are both provided with a fixing sleeve 4 for connecting a vehicle support, the spiral continuous fin 2 is arranged obliquely to the axis of the exhaust main pipe 1, the inner diameter of the heat exchange sleeve 3 decreases along the direction of exhaust gas running, the top of the heat exchange sleeve 3 is provided with an air outlet 31, and the bottom of the heat exchange sleeve 3 is provided with an air inlet 32.

[0020] As Figs. 1-2 shown in the utility model, the use principle is:

[0021] The exhaust main pipe discharges high-temperature exhaust gas, and the heat is transferred to the spiral continuous fin fixed to the outside of the exhaust main pipe. The heat exchange sleeve is arranged outside the fin with a gap, air enters the air inlet at the bottom of the heat exchange sleeve, becomes hot after absorbing the heat of the fin and is discharged from the air outlet at the top to form a cycle by using the thermosyphon effect. The exhaust main pipe and the heat exchange sleeve are connected to the vehicle support through the external fixing sleeve, which ensures the stability of the structure and does not need to be directly fixed and connected, so that complex fixing operation between the fin and the inner wall of the heat exchange sleeve is not needed, the installation difficulty is greatly reduced, and the assembly efficiency is improved. The spiral continuous fin is inclined to the axis of the exhaust main pipe, which can guide the air flow to spiral upward to form a vortex and enhance heat exchange. The inner diameter of the heat exchange sleeve decreases along the direction of exhaust gas running, which can accelerate the upward movement of hot air and strengthen the thermosyphon effect.

[0022] Through the synergistic effect of the thermosyphon effect and the spiral continuous fin guiding the air flow, efficient self-cooling is realized, the temperature of the exhaust pipe is reduced, the surrounding components are protected, the service life of the exhaust pipe is prolonged, and the safety and stability of the vehicle are improved.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, the pitch of the front end of the spiral continuous fin 2 is 40mm, the pitch of the tail end of the spiral continuous fin 2 is 20mm, and the thickness of the spiral continuous fin 2 is 1-1.5mm. The larger pitch of the front end can make the initially entering cold air quickly contact the fin and preliminarily absorb heat. As the temperature of the exhaust gas decreases along the exhaust direction, the smaller pitch of the tail end can make the air more fully exchange heat with the fin, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. The appropriate thickness of 1-1.5mm can ensure the strength of the fin while enabling the heat to be quickly transferred from the exhaust main pipe to the surface of the fin.

[0024] As a further preferred embodiment, the heat exchange sleeve 3 is provided with three sets of spaced air outlets 31 at the top, and three sets of spaced air inlets 32 at the bottom, so that air can enter and exit the heat exchange sleeve more evenly, avoiding local air intake or poor air exit. Cold air enters from multiple air inlets, and hot air exits from multiple air outlets, improving heat exchange efficiency and making the cooling effect more balanced, preventing local overheating and improving the reliability of the self-cooling system.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment, the heat exchange sleeve 3 is coated with a porous ceramic coating, which has a large specific surface area, increasing the contact area between the heat exchange sleeve and air. When air flows through the heat exchange sleeve, more air molecules come into contact with the coating, accelerating heat transfer and improving the heat dissipation capacity of the heat exchange sleeve, enhancing the self-cooling effect. In practical applications, the heat dissipation area of the heat exchange sleeve coated with a porous ceramic coating is increased by about 1.3 times compared to that without coating, and the heat dissipation capacity is improved by 8%-12%.

[0026] As a further preferred embodiment, the helical continuous fin 2 is inclined at an angle of 15°-25° to the axis of the exhaust main pipe 1, making it easier to guide the oncoming airflow during vehicle travel to flow along a helical path at high speed, improving the heat dissipation effect. In actual experiments, when the fin inclination angle is within this range, the airflow velocity is increased by 11%-15% compared to no inclination fin, and the heat dissipation efficiency is significantly improved.

[0027] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application in detail. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes without creative labor according to the concept of the present application. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the existing technology according to the concept of the present application shall be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
