[0017] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the exhaust gas aftertreatment component of this utility model in one embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Where several specific embodiments exist, features in these embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. When the description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise stated, the same numbers or symbols in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The content described in the following exemplary embodiments does not represent all embodiments of this utility model; rather, they are merely examples of products consistent with this utility model and as described in the claims.

[0019] The terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. It should be understood that terms such as "first," "second," and similar words used in the specification and claims of this invention do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish the features.

[0020] Referring to Figure 1, this utility model discloses an exhaust gas aftertreatment assembly 100, which includes a housing 1, a carrier 2, a heat insulation cotton 3 located between the carrier 2 and the housing 1 along the radial direction RR of the exhaust gas aftertreatment assembly 100, a first retaining ring assembly 41 located on one side of the carrier 2 along the axial direction OO of the exhaust gas aftertreatment assembly 100, and a second retaining ring assembly 42 located on the other side of the carrier 2 along the axial direction OO of the exhaust gas aftertreatment assembly 100.

[0021] The shell 1 is a hollow cylindrical shape.

[0022] The first retaining ring assembly 41 includes a first retaining ring 411 and a first steel wool 412 located between the first retaining ring 411 and the carrier 2 along the axial direction OO of the exhaust aftertreatment assembly 100.

[0023] The second retaining ring assembly 42 includes a second retaining ring 421 and a second steel wool 422 located between the second retaining ring 421 and the carrier 2 along the axial direction OO of the exhaust aftertreatment assembly 100. The first steel wool 412 and the second steel wool 422 can play a role in shock absorption and cushioning.

[0024] The first retaining ring 411 has a first plate portion 4111 and a first flange portion 4112 integrally bent from the outer edge of the first plate portion 4111. The first flange portion 4112 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The first plate portion 4111 has a first airflow opening 4111a, which allows exhaust gas to pass through and flow through the carrier 2.

[0025] The second retaining ring 421 has a second plate portion 4211 and a second flange portion 4212 integrally bent from the outer edge of the second plate portion 4211. The second flange portion 4212 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The second plate portion 4211 has a second airflow opening 4211a, which allows the exhaust gas flowing through the carrier 2 to exit.

[0026] In the embodiment illustrated in this utility model, the heat insulation cotton 3 does not protrude into the first airflow opening 4111a and the second airflow opening 4211a along the radial direction RR of the exhaust gas aftertreatment assembly 100, thereby preventing the heat insulation cotton 3 from obstructing the exhaust gas flow. Simultaneously, this design also prevents the heat insulation cotton 3 from being eroded by the exhaust gas. The heat insulation cotton 3 compresses and squeezes the carrier 2, limiting the radial RR movement of the carrier 2. The heat insulation cotton 3 also protects the carrier 2, preventing it from being misaligned and colliding with other parts. The heat insulation cotton 3 also serves to dampen shocks, insulate heat, and seal, preventing exhaust gas from passing directly without being treated by the carrier 2.

[0027] The first flange 4112 extends toward the second flange 4212, and the second flange 4212 extends toward the first flange 4112.

[0028] Preferably, the first retaining ring assembly 41 and the second retaining ring assembly 42 are the same part with different installation angles to save costs.

[0029] Compared to existing technologies, the exhaust aftertreatment assembly 100 of this utility model omits the traditional gasket, and uses the first retaining ring assembly 41 and the second retaining ring assembly 42 to limit the carrier 2, preventing axial movement of the carrier 2. The heat insulation cotton 3 can limit the radial movement of the carrier 2 and can also protect the carrier 2, reduce vibration, and provide heat insulation.

[0030] The exhaust gas aftertreatment component 100 of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0031] Cost savings: Replacing the gaskets in related technologies with the first retaining ring assembly 41 and the second retaining ring assembly 42 saves costs.

[0032] Saves on production equipment investment: The process of fixing the carrier 2 is changed from squeezing the shell 1 to compressing the liner, and now the first retaining ring assembly 41 and the second retaining ring assembly 42 are welded together, eliminating the need for specific equipment.

[0033] The production process is simplified, improving production efficiency: the original complex packaging process is changed to a simple welding process.

[0034] High versatility: As long as the cross-section of the carrier 2 is the same, the same shell 1, the first retaining ring assembly 41 and the second retaining ring assembly 42 and other parts can be used, avoiding the differences in packaging process, gasket type, shell diameter and other factors caused by different external factors in traditional solutions.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. The understanding of this specification should be based on those skilled in the art. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still make modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model.
