Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, specifically relating to a cylindrical cyclone mixer and its after-treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] As domestic diesel vehicle emission regulations continue to be upgraded, stricter requirements are being placed on vehicle exhaust after-treatment systems and their core component, the mixer. As a key component of the after-treatment system, the performance of the mixer directly affects NOx emissions.

[0003] The mixer needs to ensure thorough mixing of exhaust gas and the reducing agent (such as urea solution) to improve the conversion efficiency of the SCR system. The mixer also needs good heat exchange performance to ensure that the urea solution rapidly vaporizes and mixes thoroughly with the exhaust gas during injection, which helps improve the conversion efficiency of the SCR system and reduce urea consumption. Because the "China VI" emission standard imposes stricter emission limits under low-temperature and low-load conditions, and the injection volume is increased, the risk of crystallization in the mixer increases. Excessive crystal formation can clog the aftertreatment channels, leading to increased back pressure in the aftertreatment system, insufficient vehicle power, and the risk of emissions exceeding regulatory limits.

[0021] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the cylindrical swirl mixer of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the post-treatment system of this invention. The post-treatment system includes a cylindrical swirl mixer 16. The first end of the cylindrical swirl mixer 16 is sequentially connected to a DPF 14 and a DOC 13. The second end of the cylindrical swirl mixer is connected to an SCR 18 or an ASC. The DOC 13 is connected to an intake assembly 12 to provide a gas inlet, and the SCR 18 is connected to an exhaust assembly 19 to provide a gas outlet. The longitudinal axis of the cylindrical swirl mixer 16 coincides with the longitudinal axis of the post-treatment system; that is, the post-treatment system is a straight cylindrical structure.

[0024] DPF 14, DOC 13, cylindrical swirl mixer 16, and SCR 18 can be connected via flanges, clamps 15, welding, etc., to form a straight cylindrical internal cavity. Specifically, the DPF can be designed to be detachable. DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) is a diesel engine oxidation catalyst, DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is a diesel particulate filter, SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) is a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, and ASC (Ammonia Slip Catalyst) is an ammonia oxidation catalyst. All components—DOC, DPF, SCR, and ASC—contain catalyst supports.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust gas enters the aftertreatment system through the intake assembly 12, and then passes through DOC 13, DPF 14, and enters the cylindrical swirl mixer 16 in sequence. It is mixed with the reducing agent injected by the nozzle 17 inside the cylindrical swirl mixer 16, and then enters the SCR 18 for catalytic reduction reaction. Finally, the exhaust gas that meets the requirements is discharged through the exhaust assembly 19.

[0026] like Figures 2 to 5 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the cylindrical swirl mixer of this invention, which reduces system back pressure, decreases urea crystallization, and improves the mixing efficiency of urea and waste gas, as well as the De-NOx conversion efficiency. The cylindrical swirl mixer includes a cylindrical shell 5 and a swirl tube disposed within the inner cavity of the shell 5. The swirl tube has an upper tube body 2 and a lower tube body 3. Both the upper tube body 2 and the lower tube body 3 have openings in their walls. A bottom perforated plate 10 and a bottom baffle 11 are installed at the lower opening of the lower tube body 3. The bottom perforated plate 10 has several holes and is located between the bottom baffle 11 and the lower opening. An outlet gap exists between the bottom perforated plate 10 and the bottom baffle 11, allowing the gas inside the swirl tube to first pass through the holes of the bottom perforated plate 10 and then through the outlet gap to exit the swirl tube. Both the bottom perforated plate 10 and the bottom baffle 11 are bowl-shaped. The bottom baffle 11 has no holes, allowing gas to flow out of the cyclone tube through the outlet gap. The gas passing through the bottom perforated plate can effectively remove residual urea and crystals on the bottom baffle, preventing crystal formation.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a baffle plate 9 is provided inside the cyclone tube. The baffle plate is arc-shaped and has openings, which can effectively break up urea, enhance the mixing effect, and reduce the risk of urea crystallization.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the cylindrical housing 5 has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end of the cylindrical housing 5 is equipped with a first partition 1 having an air inlet 101, and the second end of the cylindrical housing 5 is equipped with a second partition 8 having an air outlet. The cylindrical wall of the cylindrical housing 5 is provided with a first opening 501 for installing a nozzle 17. The nozzle 17 can be installed in the first opening 501 through the mounting base 7.

[0029] The cylindrical shell 5 has a flow guide baffle 4 and a third partition 6 inside its inner cavity. The third partition 6 has a second opening, and the swirling tube passes through the second opening and is installed on the third partition 6. The third partition 6 divides the swirling tube into an upper tube 2 and a lower tube 3, with the upper tube 2 located above the third partition 6 and the lower tube 3 located below the third partition 6. The upper opening of the upper tube 2 corresponds to the first opening 501. Both the upper tube 2 and the lower tube 3 have openings in their walls, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the flow guide baffle 4 is arranged around the upper pipe body 2 on the third partition 6, forming a first cavity 1601 between the first partition 1, the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical shell 5, the flow guide baffle 4, and the third partition 6. The air inlet 101 of the first partition 1 is the inlet for gas to flow into the first cavity 1601, and the opening of the upper pipe body 2 is the outlet for gas to flow out of the first cavity 1601. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide baffle 4 is arc-shaped, and the guide baffle 4 is provided with several arc-shaped guide grooves 401 to facilitate the guidance of swirling gas. The interior of the swirling tube and the nozzle seat form a third cavity. The exhaust gas swirling in the first cavity enters the third cavity through the opening in the tube wall of the upper tube and mixes with the reducing agent sprayed by the nozzle in the third cavity.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a second cavity 1602 is formed between the first partition 1, the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical shell 5, the third partition 6, the guide baffle 4, and the second partition 8. The opening and outlet of the lower pipe 3 serve as the inlet for gas to flow into the second cavity 1602, and the outlet of the second partition 8 serves as the outlet for gas to flow out of the second cavity 1602. The gas mixed in the third cavity enters the second cavity through the lower pipe opening and the side wall opening of the lower pipe, undergoes further mixing in the second cavity, and then flows out through the outlet.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the air inlet 101 is located on the upper side of the first partition 1, so that the gas entering from the air inlet 101 swirls around one side of the swirling tube and flows to the outlet of the first cavity 1601. Based on the side opening on the first partition, which facilitates the formation of a swirling flow, this invention does not limit the shape of the air inlet.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first partition 1 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 102 extending along the axial direction of the cyclone tube. The arc-shaped protrusion 102 is away from the cyclone tube protrusion and matches the tube wall of the cyclone tube, so that there is an arc-shaped gap between the arc-shaped protrusion 102 and the tube wall of the cyclone tube, making the first cavity an annular cavity for forming swirl.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet includes a first air outlet 801 and a second air outlet 802, and the opening area of ​​the first air outlet 801 is larger than the opening area of ​​the second air outlet 802.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper tube 2 has openings including a first opening 201 and a second opening. The first opening 201 is located above the second opening and is disposed on the upper part of the upper tube 2. A blade is disposed in part of the second opening. The blade can face inward or outward.

[0035] The longitudinal axis of the cyclone tube forms a predetermined angle with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical shell, the predetermined angle being 60° to 120°, preferably around 90°. The cyclone tube can be a circular tube, an elliptical tube, or other similar shapes.

[0036] The cylindrical cyclone mixer and post-treatment system of this invention, through the design of the cylindrical mixer and cyclone tube, can be applied to the China VI SCR system, with low back pressure, good mixing effect and excellent anti-crystallization performance.

[0037] The above descriptions are specific embodiments of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications and variations made to the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
