Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an exhaust tailpipe and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, vehicle chassis components are becoming increasingly numerous and compactly arranged. Currently, most vehicles on Chinese roads use a downdraft exhaust system (exhaust tailpipe located below the chassis). The high temperatures of the exhaust pipe can easily cause malfunctions in various chassis components, reducing their lifespan, such as water pipes, wiring harnesses, tires, fuel tanks, and brake cylinders. Therefore, the exhaust tailpipe design must ensure that the high-temperature exhaust does not blow onto these components, guaranteeing that they operate at acceptable temperatures. Consequently, the engine exhaust tailpipe requires the installation of a cooling or heat dissipation device.
[0003] Among related technologies, the commonly used cooling devices have complex structures, low air intake, limited reduction in exhaust temperature, and poor heat dissipation and cooling efficiency. Moreover, they are difficult to meet the cooling requirements when the engine is running at high speed and high load. They also require the addition of circulation control devices and cooling devices, resulting in extremely high operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.
[0032] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 The exhaust tailpipe 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can draw more ambient air into the mixing pipe 3 and mix it with the high-temperature exhaust, thereby more effectively and quickly reducing the overall temperature of the exhaust and avoiding the risk of thermal damage to chassis parts.
[0033] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the exhaust tailpipe 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes an intake pipe 1, a diverter pipe 2, and a mixing pipe 3. The intake pipe 1 is mainly used to draw in the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the engine. The diverter pipe 2 allows the gas in the intake pipe 1 to be dispersed into different flow channels. The mixing pipe 3 allows the incoming outside air to mix with the high-temperature exhaust gas. Furthermore, the intake pipe 1, diverter pipe 2, and mixing pipe 3 all serve to guide the gas flow and provide gas flow channels, thus ensuring that the gas flows along a designated path and improving the orderliness and precision of the exhaust position.
[0034] Specifically, the suction pipe 1 is provided with a first air inlet 11 and a first air outlet 12, the split pipe 2 is provided with a second air inlet 21 and a second air outlet 22, the second air inlet 21 is connected to the interior of the suction pipe 1, the first air outlet 12 is loosely fitted in the split pipe 2, the second air outlet 22 is connected to the interior of the mixing pipe 3, the mixing pipe 3 is provided with a third air inlet 31 and a third air outlet 32, the third air inlet 31 is loosely fitted in the split pipe 2, and the third air inlet 31 and the first air outlet 12 are spaced apart along the length of the split pipe 2.
[0035] Specifically, the first outlet 12 is loosely fitted around the outer circumference of the splitter pipe 2, and a gap is formed between the first outlet 12 and the outer wall of the splitter pipe 2. The second inlet 21 of the splitter pipe 2 is connected to the interior of the intake pipe 1. That is, after the high-temperature exhaust gas from the engine flows into the intake pipe 1 through the first inlet 11, a portion of the high-temperature exhaust gas in the intake pipe 1 flows into the splitter pipe 2 through the second inlet 21. The remaining portion of the high-temperature exhaust gas in the intake pipe 1 flows out through the gap between the first outlet 12 and the outer wall of the splitter pipe 2. Furthermore, because the third inlet 31 of the mixing pipe 3 and the first outlet 12 of the intake pipe 1 are located in the splitter pipe 2... The pipes are spaced apart along their length, so the high-temperature exhaust gas flowing out through the gap in the outer wall of the first outlet 12 can form an ejector airflow along the length of the split pipe 2 between the intake pipe 1 and the mixing pipe 3. (That is, when the high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the narrow outlet, the pressure of the high-temperature exhaust gas increases, the flow velocity accelerates, and the high-temperature exhaust gas exchanges momentum with the low-pressure gas around the split pipe 2, causing the surrounding gas to flow together.) As the ejection process proceeds, the high-temperature exhaust gas and the ejected external low-pressure gas are fully mixed, thereby achieving the effect of effectively dispersing heat, thereby reducing the exhaust temperature of the high-temperature exhaust gas and avoiding the risk of thermal damage. Moreover, the exhaust tailpipe 100 in this case has a simple structure, which can simplify the production process and reduce manufacturing costs.
[0036] Therefore, by setting up the exhaust tailpipe 100, more ambient air can be drawn into the mixing pipe 3 and mixed with the high-temperature exhaust, thereby more effectively and quickly reducing the overall temperature of the high-temperature exhaust and thus avoiding the risk of thermal damage to chassis parts.
[0037] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figures 2-4 As shown, the first air outlet 12 is constructed as a constricted opening with a decreasing cross-sectional area in its air outlet direction.
[0038] As arranged as described above, when the high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the first outlet 12, whose cross-sectional area gradually decreases, the flow velocity of the high-temperature exhaust gas can be further increased. The high-velocity high-temperature exhaust gas can form a powerful jet, thereby effectively improving the ability to draw in low-pressure air from the outside, and thus guiding more gas to mix with the high-temperature gas, reducing exhaust heat. In addition, the constricted shape of the first outlet 12 can help guide the gas to flow more smoothly, reduce the occurrence of turbulence, and thus reduce the noise level.
[0039] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second air inlet 21 is constructed as a constricted opening with a decreasing cross-sectional area in the opposite direction of air intake. As arranged as above, the gap between the second air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 12 gradually increases in the opposite direction of air intake of the diversion pipe 2. This allows more high-temperature exhaust gas in the suction pipe 1 to flow out through the gap between the diversion pipe 2 and the first air outlet 12, thereby increasing the flow pressure of the high-temperature exhaust gas at the first air outlet 12, increasing the flow velocity of the high-temperature exhaust gas, and thus increasing the amount of outside air drawn in.
[0040] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the third air intake 31 is constructed as a flared opening with an increasing cross-sectional area in the direction opposite to its air intake.
[0041] As arranged as described above, the cross-sectional area of the third air inlet 31 of the mixing pipe 3 gradually increases in the direction opposite to its intake. This guides the outside air, improving the smoothness of the gas flow into the third air inlet 31 and reducing turbulence, thereby lowering noise. Furthermore, this structure also increases the range for introducing outside gas, thus increasing the amount of outside gas drawn in under the influence of the high-temperature exhaust gas.
[0042] Alternatively, combined Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second air inlet 21 extends into the suction pipe 1, and the second air outlet 22 extends into the mixing pipe 3. The second air inlet 21 and the second air outlet 22 of the diversion pipe 2 extend into the suction pipe 1 and the mixing pipe 3, respectively. This facilitates the formation of a continuous flow channel for the high-temperature exhaust gas in the outlet direction, ensuring smooth flow of the high-temperature exhaust gas and preventing it from escaping in undesirable directions, thereby improving the rationality of the diversion pipe 2's arrangement.
[0043] Alternatively, combine Figures 1-4 and Figure 6As shown, the minimum diameter of the first air outlet 12 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the third air inlet 31. This arrangement ensures that the diameter of the first air outlet 12 is relatively small. According to Bernoulli's principle, high-speed fluid will generate a low-pressure zone, thereby attracting more external gas to enter the mixing pipe 3 through the third air inlet 31, enhancing the ejection effect. Meanwhile, the diameter of the third air inlet 31 is relatively large, which can increase the range of external gas intake, thereby increasing the amount of external air entering the mixing pipe 3.
[0044] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple first guide plates 4 are provided between the suction pipe 1 and the diversion pipe 2, and the multiple first guide plates 4 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the diversion pipe 2.
[0045] Specifically, the first guide plate 4 can connect the intake pipe 1 and the diversion pipe 2 into a whole along the circumference of the diversion pipe 2, thereby improving the overall consistency of the intake pipe 1 and the diversion pipe 2; moreover, multiple first guide plates 4 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the diversion pipe 2, so that the force on the intake pipe 1 and the diversion pipe 2 in the circumference is more uniform, reducing local stress concentration, thereby improving the uniformity of force distribution and extending the service life of the exhaust tailpipe 100.
[0046] In addition, the first guide plate 4 extends along the length of the split pipe 2. This can minimize the obstruction area of the first guide plate 4 during the airflow along the axial direction of the split pipe 2, thus ensuring the smoothness of gas flow. It can also increase the connection contact area between the split pipe 2 and the intake pipe 1, thereby improving the connection reliability.
[0047] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of second guide plates 5 are provided between the diversion pipe 2 and the mixing pipe 3. The plurality of second guide plates 5 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the diversion pipe 2, and the second guide plates 5 extend along the length direction of the diversion pipe 2.
[0048] Specifically, the second guide plate 5 can connect the mixing pipe 3 and the split pipe 2 into a whole along the circumference of the split pipe 2, thereby improving the overall consistency of the mixing pipe 3 and the split pipe 2; moreover, multiple second guide plates 5 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the split pipe 2, so that the mixing pipe 3 and the split pipe 2 are subjected to more uniform force in the circumference, reducing local stress concentration, thereby improving the uniformity of force and extending the service life of the exhaust tailpipe 100.
[0049] The second guide plate 5 extends along the length of the split pipe 2. This minimizes the obstruction area of the second guide plate 5 during the axial flow of the airflow along the split pipe 2, thus ensuring smooth gas flow. It also increases the connection contact area between the split pipe 2 and the mixing pipe 3, thereby improving the connection reliability.
[0050] Furthermore, the mixed gas entering from the third air inlet 31 of the mixing pipe 3 flows through the second guide plate 5 and forms turbulence. Turbulence can accelerate the mixing process between gases of different temperatures, increase the heat conduction area, and the mixed gas after forming turbulence further mixes with the high-temperature gas flowing out from the split pipe 2 at the tail of the mixing pipe 3 (that is, the end away from the suction pipe 1), thereby reducing the overall exhaust temperature.
[0051] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the portion of the diversion pipe 2 located inside the mixing pipe 3 is provided with multiple air holes 23, which are spaced apart along the circumference and axial direction of the diversion pipe 2.
[0052] The above arrangement allows the high-temperature exhaust gas entering the split pipe 2 from the second air inlet 21 to flow along the circumference of the split pipe 2 through the air hole 23 into the gap between the split pipe 2 and the mixing pipe 3, thereby increasing the dispersion path of the high-temperature exhaust gas, improving the mixing rate and mixing uniformity of the outside atmosphere and the high-temperature exhaust gas inside and outside the mixing pipe 3, and thus improving the heat exchange and cooling effect.
[0053] The multiple air holes 23 are arranged at intervals along the circumference and axial direction of the diversion pipe 2, which makes the arrangement of the multiple air holes 23 more regular, thereby simplifying the production process and improving manufacturing efficiency.
[0054] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the vehicle includes the exhaust tailpipe 100 of the above embodiment. Thus, the vehicle having the exhaust tailpipe 100 can effectively reduce the overall exhaust temperature of the vehicle, avoid the risk of thermal damage to chassis parts caused by high-temperature exhaust gas, extend the service life of the vehicle, and thereby improve the market competitiveness of the vehicle.
[0055] According to some optional embodiments of this utility model, the angle between the central axis of the third air outlet 32 and the ground is α, where α satisfies the relationship: α < 5°. For example, α can be 1°, 2°, 2.5°, and 4°, and is not limited thereto.
[0056] Since the third exhaust port 32 is located at the exhaust end of the exhaust tailpipe 100, the angle between the third exhaust port 32 and the ground is small. This reduces the amount of gas discharged from the third exhaust port 32 along the vertical decomposition path, avoiding the risk of dust and ash blowing caused by direct exhaust spray on the ground, thereby improving the driving experience and preventing secondary pollution to the environment.
[0057] Compared to traditional exhaust tailpipes (where the exhaust outlet blows directly onto the ground at a 45-degree angle), the embodiment in this case avoids the risk of thermal damage to chassis components from high-temperature exhaust, as well as the risk of dust and ash blowing caused by high-speed exhaust blowing directly onto the ground, thus preventing secondary pollution to the environment. Furthermore, the embodiment in this case can be flexibly applied to different vehicle models without the need for direct ground blowing (eliminating the need for whole-vehicle temperature field tests for different models), thereby improving the versatility of the exhaust tailpipe 100. This effectively avoids the need to design different tailpipe structures for different vehicle models and layouts, shortening the development cycle, reducing testing costs, development risks, and design costs.
