In the description of the present specification, the description of the terms "embodiment" and the like means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment are contained in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0027] ​​​The traditional wire mesh mixer has high resistance of the wire mesh, so that the exhaust back pressure is high when processing large displacement diesel engines. In order to adapt to the new emission standard, two groups of mixers may be needed for large displacement diesel engines above 4L, which further increases the back pressure and affects the running efficiency and power of the engine.

[0028] In the utility model, the steel rods of the two adjacent urea breaking pieces are vertically arranged in the cross section of the mixer cylinder.

[0029] In one embodiment, the steel rods 401 of the two adjacent urea breaking pieces are vertically arranged in the cross section of the mixer cylinder.

[0030] In one embodiment, the diameter of the steel rod is 0.5-1mm for diesel engines below 4L, 1-2mm for diesel engines with displacement of 4L-10L, and 1-5mm for diesel engines above 10L. The diameter of the steel rod changes accordingly with the change of the displacement and the diameter of the mixing pipe, which ensures the strength and makes the back pressure and atomization reach a good state. In order to ensure the durability and resistance to ablation at high temperature, the steel rod in the embodiment is made of SUS310 or SUS316 with high strength and corrosion resistance.

[0031] See Figure 4 , 5 In one embodiment of the utility model, the steel rods 401 are arranged on the urea breaking piece 4 in one layer, and four urea breaking pieces 4 are arranged in the embodiment.

By staggering the arrangement of the steel rods 401 and the multi-layer design, the back pressure is further reduced. Each steel rod has a height difference, the flow area is further expanded in the same plane, the height is used to cut and atomize the urea droplets, and the airflow is more uniformly distributed when passing through the mixer, which reduces the local resistance of the airflow and reduces the overall exhaust back pressure. The multi-layer steel rod design makes the airflow flow in layers when passing through the mixer, and the resistance of each layer of steel rod to the airflow is small, which reduces the overall exhaust back pressure. The staggered arrangement of the steel rods in different layers makes the airflow resistance uniformly distributed in the mixer, avoiding the formation of local high resistance area.

[0033] In one embodiment, in order to more simply install the urea breaking piece, the urea breaking piece 4 is provided with a ring body 402 which has the same size as the mixing pipe, and the two ends of the steel rod 401 are connected to the ring body 402, respectively, and the corresponding mixing pipe 3 is provided with a plurality of sections, and the urea breaking piece 4 is arranged between two adjacent sections of the mixing pipe 3, and the ring body 402 of the urea breaking piece 4 is welded to the pipe wall of the mixing pipe 3 to form a pipe body of the mixing pipe 3 which has a consistent diameter.

[0034] In one embodiment, the top of the mixing pipe 3 is provided with a variable-diameter step portion 303, and the upper end of the variable-diameter step portion 303 is provided with an opening 304 which is arranged towards the urea nozzle mounting seat 6, and the urea nozzle is mounted on the urea nozzle mounting seat 6.

[0035] In one embodiment, the air inlet includes a main air inlet 301A and an auxiliary air inlet 301B, and the main air inlet 301A is formed by windowing the pipe wall of the upper half of the mixing pipe, and the main air inlets 301A are arranged at intervals around the pipe wall of the mixing pipe 3, and the variable-diameter step portion 303 is provided with a guide vane 305, and the auxiliary air inlet 301B is arranged on the variable-diameter step portion 303, and the design of the main air inlet and the auxiliary air inlet realizes multi-channel air inlet, reduces the resistance of a single flow channel, reduces the air inlet back pressure, and the main air inlets are arranged at intervals around the pipe wall of the mixing pipe, so as to ensure that the airflow entering the mixer generates a cyclone, and to provide airflow conditions for urea atomization, the airflow is introduced from the auxiliary air inlet, and a negative pressure environment is further formed, which is helpful for the suction and atomization of urea droplets and prevents urea crystallization.

[0036] In one embodiment, the lower half of the mixing pipe 3 is provided with an air outlet 302 which is arranged on the side towards the baffle 2, and the air outlet 302 is arranged as a plurality of strip-shaped small windows arranged along the pipe wall of the mixing pipe 3, so as to ensure that the treated exhaust gas can be smoothly discharged, reduce the exhaust back pressure, and the strip-shaped small window design reduces the generation of turbulence at the air outlet, and the exhaust gas mixed with urea can be smoothly discharged, and the mixed airflow of the exhaust gas and the urea can be uniformly distributed in the subsequent SCR system, thereby improving the exhaust gas treatment efficiency.

[0037] In the embodiment, the arrangement of the air inlet and the air outlet improves the overall performance of the mixer, makes the urea atomization and mixing more efficient, and improves the overall treatment effect of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
