[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0032] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0034] This application provides a vehicle embodiment. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. Vehicles are generally equipped with a cooling system. When a vehicle is operating, it generates a large amount of heat. The cooling system absorbs and removes this heat through internally circulating coolant, ensuring the temperature remains within the normal operating range of the vehicle. The coolant circulates in the cooling circuit, dissipating the waste heat generated by the vehicle to the outside through the cooling module, thus achieving a cooling effect. However, when impurities exist in the cooling system, impurities flowing into the water pump can easily damage the pump, or flowing into the heat exchanger and accumulating at the bottom of the heat exchanger, blocking the internal flow and causing cooling failure, thus affecting vehicle safety.

[0035] The deposition pipe 100 provided in this application embodiment, by providing a drain port 14, allows impurities in the coolant to be discharged from the deposition pipe 100 through the drain port 14, thereby preventing the cooling function from failing and increasing vehicle safety.

[0036] Based on this, refer to Figure 1 This application provides a deposition tube 100, which includes a tube body 1.

[0037] To better illustrate the deposition tube 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the axis of the tube body 1 is along the vertical direction (e.g., Figure 2 Extending in the vertical direction, the tube body 1 defines a receiving cavity 15. The tube body 1 is provided with an inlet 11, an outlet 12, an exhaust port 13, and a drain port 14. The inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are located on the peripheral wall of the tube body 1. In the vertical direction, the inlet 11 is located below the outlet 12. After the coolant enters the receiving cavity 15 from the inlet 11, the coolant flows upward along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 15 and flows out of the receiving cavity 15 from the outlet 12.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the exhaust port 13 is located on the top wall of the pipe body 1. The coolant contains some gaseous cooling medium, which reduces the heat exchange capacity of the coolant and causes significant noise during its flow. By providing the exhaust port 13, the gaseous cooling medium in the coolant can flow out through the exhaust port 13, ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the coolant and reducing noise during its flow.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drain port 14 is located on the bottom wall of the pipe body 1. When the coolant flows from the inlet 11 at the bottom to the outlet 12 at the top, impurities in the coolant are deposited downwards under the action of gravity and concentrated at the bottom wall of the pipe body 1. When the vehicle is being maintained, the maintenance personnel open the drain port 14, and the impurities are discharged by gravity, which prevents the cooling function from failing and increases the safety of the vehicle.

[0040] Meanwhile, the deposition tube 100 integrates exhaust and sewage discharge functions, and can perform multiple functions. The deposition tube 100 has many functions and a high degree of integration.

[0041] In addition, the material of the tube body 1 is not limited in this embodiment, as long as it is not corroded or damaged by the coolant.

[0042] According to the deposition tube 100 of this application embodiment, when the coolant flows from the lower inlet 11 to the upper outlet 12, the gaseous cooling medium in the coolant can flow out from the exhaust port 13, which can ensure the heat exchange capacity of the coolant and reduce the noise during the flow of the coolant. Impurities in the coolant are deposited downwards under the action of gravity and concentrated at the bottom wall of the tube body 1. During vehicle maintenance, the maintenance personnel open the drain port 14, and the impurities are discharged by gravity, avoiding the failure of the cooling function and increasing the safety of the vehicle. The deposition tube 100 integrates exhaust and drainage functions, and can realize multiple functions. The deposition tube 100 has many functions and a high degree of integration.

[0043] In this application, an exhaust pipe 6 is provided at the exhaust port 13. The exhaust pipe 6 can extend upward to guide more gas upward, thereby increasing the reliability of the exhaust of the deposition pipe 100.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Along the circumferential direction of the pipe body 1, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are spaced apart, so that after the coolant enters the receiving cavity 15 from the inlet 11, the coolant rotates along the circumferential wall of the receiving cavity 15 and then flows out of the receiving cavity 15 from the outlet 12, which is spaced apart from the inlet 11 in the circumferential direction of the pipe body 1. This increases the flow distance of the coolant in the receiving cavity 15, which makes it easier for impurities in the coolant to be deposited on the bottom wall under the combined action of gravity and rotation, and facilitates the discharge of impurities from the drain port 14 into the pipe body 1.

[0045] At the same time, the coolant rotates along the periphery of the receiving cavity 15, which can accelerate the separation of coolant and air bubbles. The gaseous cooling medium can be better discharged from the exhaust port 13, avoiding cooling failure and increasing vehicle safety.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the pipe body 1 slopes downward in the direction close to the drain outlet 14, which can provide a certain guidance for impurities. The impurities can gather towards the drain outlet 14 under the guidance of the bottom wall of the pipe body 1, which facilitates the discharge of sewage from the sedimentation pipe 100.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the depositing pipe 100 also includes a sealing cap 2, which is detachably connected to the pipe body 1 and is used to open or close the drain port 14. During normal use, the sealing cap 2 closes the drain port 14 to prevent coolant from flowing out of the depositing pipe 100 from the drain port 14. When the depositing pipe 100 is used in a vehicle, it prevents coolant from dripping onto the road surface during normal vehicle operation. During vehicle maintenance, the maintenance personnel control the sealing cap 2 to open the drain port 14, and impurities are discharged from the drain port 14 by gravity, preventing cooling failure and increasing vehicle safety.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the inner peripheral wall of the drain outlet 14 is provided with an internal thread, and the sealing cover 2 is provided with an external thread. The sealing cover 2 is threadedly connected to the drain outlet 14. The sealing cover 2 can be threadedly connected through the internal thread of the inner peripheral wall of the drain outlet 14 and the external thread of the sealing cover 2. By twisting the sealing cover 2, the sealing cover 2 and the drain outlet 14 can be engaged and disengaged, making the opening and closing of the drain outlet 14 relatively simple and reliable.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a drain pipe 3 is provided at the drain outlet 14. The drain pipe 3 extends in the vertical direction. The drain pipe 3 can increase the accumulation volume of impurities from the drain outlet 14. The sealing cover 2 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the drain pipe 3. The drain pipe 3 can guide impurities downward, making it easy for the maintenance personnel to unscrew the sealing cover 2 and open or close the drain outlet 14.

[0050] At this point, the lower end of the drain pipe 3 is provided with an external thread, and the end of the sealing cap 2 near the pipe body 1 is provided with an installation groove. The peripheral wall of the installation groove is provided with an internal thread, thereby achieving the fit between the sealing cap 2 and the drain pipe 3; or the upper end of the sealing cap 2 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the lower end of the drain pipe 3 is provided with an internal thread, thereby achieving the fit between the sealing cap 2 and the drain pipe 3. The fit method between the sealing cap 2 and the drain pipe can be selected according to design requirements to meet different design needs.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the inlet 11 is connected to the inlet pipe 4, and the outlet 12 is connected to the outlet pipe 5. The axes of both the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 are perpendicular to the axis of the pipe body 1 and are spaced apart from it. This prevents the coolant entering the receiving cavity 15 from the inlet pipe 4 from flowing directly to the axis of the pipe body 1, and prevents the coolant from flowing towards the drain port 14 under the influence of gravity. At the same time, the outlet pipe 5 is spaced apart from the axis of the pipe body 1, which facilitates the entry of coolant from the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 15 into the outlet pipe 5, making the flow of coolant within the receiving cavity 15 more reliable.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4As shown, a first straight line is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the inlet pipe 4. The first straight line is located at the end of the inner peripheral wall of the inlet pipe 4 away from the axis of the pipe body 1. The first straight line is in the same plane as the axis of the inlet pipe 4 and is tangent to the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 15. At this time, the coolant flowing from the inlet pipe 4 to the receiving cavity 15 can flow more effectively to the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 15. The coolant can form a vortex on the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 15. Under the combined action of gravity and rotation, impurities flow downward to the drain port 14, and the gaseous heat exchange medium flows upward to the exhaust port 13, realizing the separation of coolant from impurities and bubbles.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, a second straight line is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the outlet pipe 5. The second straight line is located at one end of the inner peripheral wall of the outlet pipe 5 away from the axis of the pipe body 1. The second straight line is in the same plane as the axis of the outlet pipe 5 and is tangent to the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 15. At this time, the coolant on the peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 15 can enter the outlet pipe 5 under the guidance of the inner peripheral wall of the outlet pipe 5, realizing the flow of coolant from the receiving cavity 15 and increasing the reliability of coolant flow.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner diameter of the inlet 11 is d1, and the inner diameter of the outlet 12 is d2. The minimum distance between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 in the vertical direction is L, and satisfies: L≥2d1; L≥2d2. It is understandable that the distance between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 in the vertical direction is not less than twice the inner diameter of the inlet 11 and not less than twice the inner diameter of the outlet 12. This results in a large height difference between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 in the vertical direction, allowing the coolant to flow fully on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 15. This increases the separation time between impurities and the coolant. Impurities in the coolant are deposited downwards under gravity and concentrated at the bottom wall of the pipe body 1. During vehicle maintenance, the maintenance personnel open the drain port 14, and the impurities are discharged by gravity, preventing the cooling function from failing and increasing vehicle safety. Increasing the separation time between air bubbles and the coolant allows the gaseous cooling medium in the coolant to flow out from the exhaust port 13, ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the coolant and reducing noise during the flow of the coolant.

[0055] The vehicle according to an embodiment of this application includes the deposition pipe 100 described above.

[0056] According to the vehicle embodiment of this application, when the coolant flows from the lower inlet 11 to the upper outlet 12, the gaseous cooling medium in the coolant can flow out from the exhaust port 13, which can ensure the heat exchange capacity of the coolant and reduce noise during the coolant flow process. Impurities in the coolant are deposited downwards under the action of gravity and concentrated at the bottom wall of the pipe body 1. During vehicle maintenance, the maintenance personnel open the drain port 14, and the impurities are discharged by gravity, preventing the cooling function from failing and increasing vehicle safety. The deposition pipe 100 integrates exhaust and drainage functions, and can realize multiple functions. The deposition pipe 100 has many functions and a high degree of integration.
