Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive exhaust pipe technology, and more particularly to an automotive exhaust pipe. Background Technology
[0002] The exhaust pipe is part of a vehicle's exhaust system, primarily responsible for expelling the exhaust gases produced by engine combustion outside the vehicle. It typically consists of several parts, including the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, intermediate pipe, and tailpipe. The exhaust manifold connects to each cylinder of the engine, collecting exhaust gases and directing them into the exhaust system. The catalytic converter reduces harmful substances in the exhaust gases, such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. The intermediate pipe connects the catalytic converter and the tailpipe, which is the final conduit through which the exhaust gases exit the vehicle.
[0003] In existing technologies, automobile exhaust emissions require the use of automobile exhaust pipes. However, existing automobile exhaust pipes may suffer physical damage during vehicle operation due to uneven roads, gravel impacts, etc. Therefore, a protective automobile exhaust pipe is needed.

[0033] The limiting structure includes a fixing seat 5, which is located inside the protective shell 4. The top of the fixing seat 5 penetrates through the protective shell 4 and extends to the top of the protective shell 4. A first screw 6 is provided inside the fixing seat 5, and the threaded end of the first screw 6 penetrates through the fixing seat 5 and extends into the interior of the vehicle floor. A groove 7 is provided at the bottom of the surface of the fixing seat 5, and a clamp 8 is engaged inside the groove 7. The top of the clamp 8 cooperates with the bottom of the protective shell 4. A positioning structure is provided inside the clamp 8, and the top of the positioning structure cooperates with the bottom of the fixing seat 5. This effectively and securely installs the protective shell 4 onto the vehicle floor. The design of the fixing seat 5 allows the first screw 6 to easily penetrate and be fixed to the vehicle floor, ensuring the stability of the structure. The engagement design of the groove 7 on the surface of the fixing seat 5 and the clamp 8, as well as the cooperation between the clamp 8 and the bottom of the protective shell 4, further enhance the stability of the protective shell 4. The positioning structure allows for precise positioning between the clamp 8 and the fixing seat 5, avoiding loosening or misalignment, thereby improving the reliability of the entire structure.
[0034] The positioning structure includes a connecting seat 9, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the clamp 8. A guide rod 10 is provided inside the connecting seat 9, and a positioning block 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 10. The surface of the positioning block 11 cooperates with the bottom of the fixed seat 5, which can significantly improve the connection stability and accuracy between the connecting seat 9, the clamp 8, and the fixed seat 5. The design of the guide rod 10 allows the positioning block 11 to smoothly and accurately enter the bottom of the fixed seat 5, ensuring the positioning accuracy during assembly and reducing assembly errors.
