There is an EGR pipe 9, the other end of which is welded to a flange 7. Several bolts 8 are inserted on the front surface of the flange 7. The shell 1 is made of 400 series stainless steel. The flange 7 is circular. The air inlet 6 is racetrack shaped. The diameter tolerance of the air inlet (6) is within ±0.5mm. The surface of the shell 1 is provided with a passivation layer. The upper and lower edges of the upper and lower half shell shells of the shell 1 are each connected with a welding plate 10. The front ends of the two welding plates 10 are at the same height. The welding plate 10 of the upper half shell shell at the rear end is higher than the welding plate 10 of the lower half shell shell.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: small welding deformation, high structural stability, good airtightness, meeting the requirements of high-requirement exhaust systems, simple preparation method, strong operability, making the weld more solid, suitable for large-scale production, convenient for staff to operate and improve service life.
