[0040] In the vehicle assembly process, the chassis is generally assembled first, followed by the cab. In traditional light trucks, the piping between the air filter and the turbocharger needs to pass through the cab bulkhead for installation (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the cab must be installed on the chassis before the intake system piping can be connected. Therefore, the installation of the intake system piping in traditional light trucks is quite difficult, with many bends in the piping route, high airflow resistance, and the piping structure being suspended in the air without any installation or fixation. At the same time, it also increases the difficulty of maintaining light trucks, as the intake system piping must be removed before the cab can be hoisted up for maintenance.

[0041] In view of this, the present invention provides a light truck intake pipe assembly 100. Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the light truck intake pipe assembly 100 provided by this utility model.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The light truck intake pipe assembly 100 includes a first hose 1, a stainless steel pipe 2, and a second hose 3. The first end of the first hose 1 is used to connect to the air filter 200 of the light truck. The stainless steel pipe 2 is used to be located on the lower side of the cab panel 300 of the light truck. The first end of the stainless steel pipe 2 is connected to the second end of the first hose 1 and is fixedly connected to the frame 400 of the light truck. The first end of the second hose 3 is connected to the second end of the stainless steel pipe 2, and the second end of the second hose 3 is used to connect to the turbocharger of the light truck.

[0043] In this utility model, the stainless steel pipe 2 is located on the lower side of the cab side panel. Compared with traditional light truck air intake pipes, it avoids the cab and does not need to penetrate the cab side panel to connect the turbocharger. This reduces pipe bends and right-angle turns, making airflow smoother, improving air intake efficiency, facilitating cab installation, and enabling quick maintenance. The cab can be lifted without disassembling the light truck air intake pipe assembly 100. Simultaneously, the stainless steel pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the light truck frame 400, preventing it from swaying during vehicle movement and improving the structural stability of the light truck air intake pipe assembly 100, which is beneficial for vibration reduction. Furthermore, the light truck air intake pipe assembly 100 provided by this utility model adopts a structure combining soft and hard pipes, which improves the vibration damping of the light truck air intake pipe assembly 100 itself and effectively reduces vibration transmitted from the engine to the air filter 200 and the light truck air intake pipe assembly 100.

[0044] It should be noted that the air filtered by the air filter 200 is delivered to the turbocharger in sequence through the first hose 1, the stainless steel pipe 2 and the second hose 3 to complete the engine intake process of the light truck.

[0045] For further details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The light truck intake pipe assembly 100 also includes a mounting bracket 4 and a movable clamp 5. The mounting bracket 4 is used to fix the light truck to the frame 400. The movable clamp 5 includes a first semi-circular clamp 51 and a second semi-circular clamp 52. The first semi-circular clamp 51 and the second semi-circular clamp 52 are correspondingly enclosed and fitted around the stainless steel pipe 2, and are detachably connected to the mounting bracket 4 for easy assembly.

[0046] Furthermore, the connection method of the first semicircular clamp 51 and the second semicircular clamp 52, as well as the connection method of the movable clamp 5 and the mounting bracket 4, are not limited and can be snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0047] More specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first semicircular clamp 51 and the second semicircular clamp 52 are snapped together and threadedly connected to the mounting bracket 4.

[0048] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 The first semi-circular clamp 51 includes a first clamp body 511, a stop portion 512, and a first connecting portion 513. The first clamp body 511 is semi-circular in shape, and the stop portion 512 and the first connecting portion 513 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first clamp body 511. The second semi-circular clamp 52 includes a second clamp body 521, a locking protrusion 522, and a second connecting portion 523. The second clamp body 521 is semi-circular in shape, and the locking protrusion 522 and the second connecting portion 523 are respectively disposed at both ends of the second clamp body 521. The stop portion 512 has a through hole, and the locking protrusion 522 is engaged in the through hole. The first connecting portion 513 and the second connecting portion 523 are threadedly connected to the mounting bracket 4 by a screw 6 and two nuts 7.

[0049] Thus, the movable clamp 5 is connected to the mounting bracket 4 by a threaded connection, and the first semi-circular clamp 51 and the second semi-circular clamp 52 are connected by a combination of snap-fit ​​and threaded connection. This not only fixes the stainless steel pipe 2 more stably, but also reduces the processing difficulty of integral parts, and reduces the use of standard parts. At the same time, the assembly is simple and convenient.

[0050] It should be noted that the position of the card protrusion 522 within the card hole is adjustable to accommodate stainless steel pipes 2 of different diameters.

[0051] Furthermore, the first connecting part 513 is positioned close to the mounting bracket 4 relative to the second connecting part 523, and the first connecting part 513 has a through-hole, while the second connecting part 523 has a through-hole corresponding to the through-hole. The first connecting part 513 and the second connecting part 523 are fitted with the screw 6 through the through-hole and the through-hole. One end of the screw 6 passes through the mounting bracket 4, and two nuts 7 are threadedly connected to both ends of the screw 6. One of the two nuts 7 abuts against the side of the mounting bracket 4 away from the movable clamp 5, and the other abuts against the side of the second connecting part 523 away from the first connecting part 513.

[0052] In this way, the docking state of the first semicircular clamp 51 and the second semicircular clamp 52 can be flexibly adjusted, solving problems such as inaccurate assembly and misalignment in traditional light trucks.

[0053] Specifically, the mounting bracket 4 includes a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece. The first connecting piece is used to be threadedly connected to the frame 400 by screws. The second connecting piece is located at one end of the first connecting piece and is set at an angle to the first connecting piece. It is threadedly connected to the movable clamp 5 by the screw 6 and the nut 7.

[0054] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The first connecting part 513 is disposed close to the mounting frame 4 relative to the second connecting part 523, and a shock-absorbing pad 8 is provided between the first connecting part 513 and the mounting frame 4.

[0055] Thus, by setting a shock-absorbing pad 8 between the movable clamp 5 and the mounting bracket 4, the rigid connection can be prevented from vibrating during vehicle operation, thus avoiding breakage of the bracket or steel pipe and extending its service life.

[0056] More specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the shock-absorbing pad 8 is a rubber pad.

[0057] Specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first hose 1 is a variable diameter rubber hose; the second hose 3 is a rubber hose. Thus, by incorporating the variable diameter rubber hose, the airflow within the pipeline can be better buffered.

[0058] More specifically, the diameter of the first hose 1 gradually increases from the end connected to the air filter 200 to the end connected to the stainless steel.

[0059] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first end of the first hose 1 is used to connect to the exhaust pipe of the air filter 200 and is fixed by the first clamp 9. The second end of the first hose 1 is connected to the first end of the stainless steel pipe 2 and is fixed by the second clamp 10. The first end of the second hose 3 is connected to the second end of the stainless steel pipe 2 and is fixed by the third clamp 1A. The second end of the second hose 3 is used to connect to the intake pipe of the turbocharger and is fixed by the fourth clamp 1B.

[0060] More specifically, the first clamp 9, the second clamp 10, the third clamp 1A, and the fourth clamp 1B are all A-type ring clamps.

[0061] This utility model also provides a light truck, which includes a light truck intake pipe assembly 100. It should be noted that the light truck adopts the light truck intake pipe assembly 100 as described above, that is, the light truck has all the technical features of all embodiments of the light truck intake pipe assembly 100 described above, and thus has all the technical effects brought about by all the above technical features, which will not be described in detail here.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
