Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a cooling sleeve and an engine bench exhaust pipe cooling system. Background Technology
[0002] In high-temperature calibration bench tests of engines, the engine generates a lot of heat under high load conditions. When it is necessary to maintain high load parameters for a long time to collect engine data, the exhaust pipe has limited capacity. In order to improve the service life of the exhaust pipe and reduce the impact of the high heat of the engine under high load conditions on the environmental chamber equipment, bench, and components, it is usually necessary to install an exhaust pipe heat sink on the exhaust pipe.
[0003] In related technologies, the engine bench test conditions in bench tests are different from those in vehicle tests. When a vehicle is in motion, it has air intake grilles, radiators, etc. to dissipate heat from the exhaust pipe. The exhaust system of a vehicle is longer and can achieve better heat dissipation. However, in bench tests, due to the limited space of the test chamber, the exhaust pipe is generally of limited length, the heat generation is more concentrated, and the heat dissipation is more difficult.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] In related technologies, the engine bench test conditions differ from those of a complete vehicle test. During vehicle operation, the exhaust pipe is cooled by components such as the air intake grille and radiator, and the vehicle's exhaust system is longer, allowing for better heat dissipation. However, in bench tests, the exhaust pipe is generally of limited length due to the confined space of the test chamber, resulting in more concentrated heat and greater difficulty in heat dissipation. To address these issues, this application provides a heat dissipation sleeve and an engine bench exhaust pipe cooling system that can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the exhaust pipe during bench tests.
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] See Figure 1 The heat dissipation sleeve includes a tube body 1, a heat absorption tube 2, and a heat insulation component 3. The tube body 1 is used to absorb heat from the engine's exhaust pipe. The tube body 1 can be directly sleeved on the engine's exhaust pipe and in direct contact with the exhaust pipe, thereby conducting heat with the engine's exhaust pipe; the tube body 1 can also be placed on one side of the engine's exhaust pipe and connected to the engine's exhaust pipe through a heat-conducting component, thereby conducting heat indirectly with the engine's exhaust pipe.
[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The tube body 1 is made of copper, which has a melting point of 1084℃ and can withstand the high temperature of 800~900℃ in the exhaust pipe, while also possessing excellent thermal conductivity. The heat-absorbing tube 2 rests against the outer surface of the tube body 1, and its diameter is smaller than that of the tube body 1. The heat-absorbing tube 2 extends along an arc shape on the outer surface of the tube body 1. Heat conduction occurs between the heat-absorbing tube 2 and the tube body 1; the heat generated by the engine's exhaust pipe can be transferred to the tube body 1, and then the heat from the tube body 1 can be transferred to the heat-absorbing tube 2. An inlet and an outlet are respectively provided at opposite ends of the heat-absorbing tube 2. A liquid cavity is formed inside the heat-absorbing tube 2, in which coolant can flow. The liquid cavity extends along an arc shape and is connected to both the inlet and outlet. Coolant can enter the liquid cavity through the inlet and then flow out through the outlet. The coolant can absorb the heat transferred from the tube body 1 and then carry the heat away from the liquid cavity. The heat insulation component 3 is fitted over the tube body 1 and the heat absorption tube 2. The heat insulation component 3 can prevent the heat of the tube body 1 and the heat absorption tube 2 from dissipating to the components adjacent to the exhaust pipe, avoid the exhaust pipe affecting the normal operation of other components, and ensure that the large amount of heat generated by the exhaust pipe is carried away by the coolant.
[0032] In this application, the heat absorption tube 2 is disposed on the outer surface of the tube body 1, so that the heat absorption tube 2 extends along the bow shape on the outer surface of the tube body 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the heat absorption tube 2 and the tube body 1 and improving the heat conduction efficiency of the heat absorption tube 2 to the tube body 1. Even with a relatively short exhaust pipe, the heat dissipation requirements of the exhaust pipe can still be met. At the same time, a heat insulation component 3 is disposed outside the heat absorption tube 2 to prevent heat diffusion while cooling down.
[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the tube body 1 is provided with fins 11, which are located on the outer surface of the tube body 1. The heat absorption tube 2 abuts against the fins 11, and the heat absorption tube 2 conducts heat with the fins 11. In addition to contacting the side of the tube body 1, the heat absorption tube 2 also contacts the fins 11, thereby increasing the contact area between the heat absorption tube 2 and the tube body 1 and improving the thermal conductivity of the tube body 1 and the heat absorption tube 2.
[0034] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heat absorber tube 2 extends along an arc shape on the outer surface of the tube body 1, forming multiple C-shaped notches 24. Multiple fins 11 are located within the notches 24, with each fin corresponding to one of the notches 24. The C-shaped notches 24 formed by the heat absorber tube 2 facilitate the heat absorber tube 2 surrounding the fins 11, thereby increasing the contact area between the heat absorber tube 2 and the fins 11. The fins 11 are elongated, with both sides in the width direction abutting against the heat absorber tube 2. At least three sides of the fins 11 are surrounded by the heat absorber tube 2. The length direction of the fins 11 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the tube body 1, and the fins 11 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the tube body 1. This allows for the placement of more fins 11 on the tube body 1, and increases the contact area between the heat absorber tube 2 and the fins 11, thereby improving the thermal conductivity of the tube body 1 and the heat absorber tube 2.
[0035] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 There are four heat absorber tubes 2, which are distributed sequentially along the circumference of the tube body 1. The four heat absorber tubes 2 are independent of each other, and the coolant in two adjacent heat absorber tubes 2 does not flow between them. The heat absorber tubes 2 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the tube body 1. By setting four heat absorber tubes 2 around the tube body 1, the heat conduction area of the tube body 1 is increased, thereby absorbing heat from the outer surface of the tube body 1 more comprehensively.
[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heat insulation component 3 includes a heat insulation layer 31 and a heat insulation cover 32. The heat insulation layer 31 is tubular and is made of heat insulation cotton. The heat insulation layer 31 is fitted over the tube body 1 and the heat absorption tube 2. The heat insulation layer 31 can prevent the heat from the tube body 1 and the heat absorption tube 2 from spreading to the components near the exhaust pipe. The heat insulation cover 32 is connected to the heat insulation layer 31. The heat insulation cover 32 is used to fix the heat insulation layer 31 to the outside of the heat absorption tube 2 and prevent the heat insulation layer 31 from detaching from the tube body 1.
[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the heat insulation cover 32 is tubular and is fitted over the heat insulation layer 31. The heat insulation cover 32 includes an upper half and a lower half, both of which are semi-circular tubes and are fixed together by bolts. Each of the opposite ends of the heat insulation cover 32 is provided with an end edge 33, which is located on the axial direction of the heat insulation layer 31 and abuts against the heat insulation layer 31. The end edge 33 can limit the heat insulation layer 31 and prevent the heat insulation layer 31 from detaching from the tube body 1 along the axial direction of the tube body 1.
[0038] See Figure 1-4 The tube body 1 has a limiting part 12 at each of its opposite ends, located on the side of the tube body 1. The heat absorption tube 2 includes a main body 21, an outlet tube 22, and an inlet tube 23, with the main body 21 located between the two limiting parts 12. The limiting parts 12 can limit the main body 21, preventing it from moving along the axial direction of the tube body 1, thus making the heat absorption tube 2 more stable. One end of the outlet tube 22 is connected to the main body 21, and the outlet tube 22 crosses the limiting part 12, with the outlet located at the outlet tube 22; one end of the inlet tube 23 is connected to the main body 21, and the inlet tube 23 crosses the limiting part 12, with the inlet located at the inlet tube 23.
[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the heat insulation layer 31 is located between the inlet pipe 23 and the outlet pipe 22. The inlet pipe 23 and the outlet pipe 22 can limit the heat insulation layer 31 to prevent it from detaching from the pipe body 1 along its axial direction. The heat insulation cover 32, the inlet pipe 23, and the outlet pipe 22 surround the heat insulation layer 31, wherein the heat insulation layer 31 has a pair of clearance openings for the inlet pipe 23 and the outlet pipe 22 to pass through. By surrounding the heat insulation layer 31 with the heat insulation cover 32, the inlet pipe 23, and the outlet pipe 22, the heat insulation layer 31 is firmly fixed between the heat insulation cover 32 and the heat absorption pipe 2.
[0040] Corresponding to the aforementioned application function implementation device embodiments, this application also provides an engine bench exhaust pipe cooling system and corresponding embodiments.
[0041] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The engine bench exhaust pipe cooling system includes a cooling sleeve, an engine, a temperature sensor, and a water-cooling device. The engine has an exhaust pipe that generates a significant amount of heat during operation. The exhaust gases are collected and treated by a centralized exhaust system. The temperature sensor is connected to the exhaust pipe and is used to detect its temperature. The water-cooling device is connected to a heat absorber pipe 2 and exchanges coolant with it. The cooling sleeve is fitted over the exhaust pipe and conducts heat through it. After absorbing heat from the exhaust pipe, the coolant flows back to the water-cooling device from its outlet. An electrically controlled valve is installed on the pipe connecting the water-cooling device and the heat absorber pipe 2 to control the flow rate of the coolant. By placing the heat absorption tube 2 on the outer surface of the tube body 1, the heat absorption tube 2 extends along the bow shape on the outer surface of the tube body 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the heat absorption tube 2 and the tube body 1 and improving the heat conduction efficiency of the heat absorption tube 2 to the tube body 1. Even with a relatively short exhaust pipe, the heat dissipation requirements of the exhaust pipe can still be met. At the same time, a heat insulation component 3 is set outside the heat absorption tube 2 to prevent heat diffusion while cooling down.
