Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive technology, and specifically relates to an intake manifold assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The intake manifold is a crucial component of the engine's intake and exhaust system, and its design significantly impacts engine performance. The diameter of the intake manifold directly affects the engine's air intake volume, thus requiring high standards for its structure and sealing. Existing intake manifold assemblies require periodic maintenance of their filters, which is cumbersome and inefficient, failing to meet current needs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing an intake pipe assembly with a filter structure that is easy to disassemble and install.
[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an air intake pipe assembly, comprising an air intake pipe body, wherein the air intake pipe body has an air intake end for air intake and an air outlet end for water outlet, and the air intake pipe body has an air passage for air passage, characterized in that a filter element is provided on the air intake pipe body and located at the air intake end, a sliding member for fixing the filter element is provided on the air intake end, a plurality of balls are provided on the air intake end, a rolling groove is provided on the air intake end for corresponding balls to roll, a connecting spring is provided between the sliding member and the air intake pipe body for the sliding member to slide up and down, a plurality of slots I are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the filter element for connecting one end of the corresponding ball, and a plurality of slots II are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the sliding member for connecting the other end of the corresponding ball.
[0005] In the above-mentioned intake pipe assembly, the filter element consists of a filter frame and a filter screen. The intake pipe body is provided with a fixing part, and the fixing part is integrally formed with the intake pipe body. The lower end face of the filter frame is connected to the upper end face of the fixing part.
[0006] In one of the above-mentioned intake pipe assemblies, the intake pipe body is provided with a stepped groove for the sliding member to slide up and down.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, this intake manifold assembly uses a combination of rolling elements and ball bearings to detachably install the filter element onto the intake manifold body. This structure allows operators to quickly clean and replace the filter screen on the filter element. Attached Figure Description

[0010] In the diagram, 1. Intake pipe body; 2. Intake end; 3. Outlet end; 4. Filter element; 5. Sliding element; 6. Ball bearing; 7. Rolling groove; 8. Connecting spring; 9. Slot 1; 10. Slot 2; 11. Filter frame; 12. Filter screen; 13. Fixing part. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0012] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this air intake pipe assembly includes an air intake pipe body 1, which has an air intake end 2 for air intake and an air outlet end 3 for water outlet. The air intake pipe body 1 has an air passage for air passage. A filter element 4 is provided on the air intake pipe body 1 at the air intake end 2. A sliding member 5 for fixing the filter element 4 is provided on the air intake end 2. A plurality of ball bearings 6 are provided on the air intake end 2, and openings are provided on the air intake end 2 for the corresponding ball bearings 6 to roll. The rolling groove 7 and the ball bearing 6 slide only within the rolling groove 7. When the filter element 4 is not installed, the ball bearing 6 remains within the rolling groove 7 and will not slide out of the rolling groove 7. A connecting spring 8 is provided between the sliding element 5 and the air intake pipe body 1 to allow the sliding element 5 to slide up and down. The outer peripheral wall of the filter element 4 has several slots 9 that connect to one end of the corresponding ball bearing 6, and the inner peripheral wall of the sliding element 5 has several slots 10 that connect to the other end of the corresponding ball bearing 6.
[0013] To elaborate further, when the filter element 4 needs to be installed, the sliding member 5 is pressed down to move it downwards, the connecting spring 8 is compressed, one end of the ball bearing 6 extends into the second slot 10, and the filter element 4 is then installed at the air inlet 2, with the lower end of the filter element 4 in contact with the upper end face of the fixing part 13. The sliding member 5 is released, the connecting spring 8 rebounds, the sliding member 5 moves upwards, and one end of the ball bearing 6 retracts into the rolling groove 7, while the other end extends into the first slot 9 of the filter element 4, thereby fixing the filter element 4. When the filter element 4 needs to be disassembled, the sliding member 5 is pressed down to move it downwards, the connecting spring 8 is compressed, the ball bearing 6 rolls in the rolling groove 7, and one end of the ball bearing 6 re-extends into the second slot 10, releasing the filter element 4 from the air inlet 2.
[0014] To elaborate further, the filter element 4 consists of a filter frame 11 and a filter screen 12. The intake pipe body 1 is provided with a fixing part 13, and the fixing part 13 is integrally formed with the intake pipe body 1. The lower end face of the filter frame 11 is connected to the upper end face of the fixing part 13.
[0015] To elaborate further, the intake pipe body 1 has a stepped groove for the sliding member 5 to slide up and down.
[0016] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0017] Although this document frequently uses terms such as intake pipe body 1, intake end 2, exhaust end 3, filter element 4, sliding element 5, ball bearing 6, rolling groove 7, connecting spring 8, slot one 9, slot two 10, filter frame 11, filter screen 12, and fixing part 13, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
