Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive air circuit installation technology, specifically to an automotive air circuit adapter. Background Technology

[0002] Installing adapters (such as tees, reducers, and right-angle adapters) in automotive air systems requires ensuring sealing, pressure resistance, and reliability. Otherwise, it may lead to air leaks, brake failure, or reduced turbocharger performance. The limitations of traditional air system connectors are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, decentralized installation: Original vehicle air system connectors are mostly independently and dispersed (such as single tees or straight connectors), resulting in messy pipe routing and increased risk of friction / interference. Second, large space occupation: Especially in compact areas such as the driver's cab or engine compartment, multiple connectors stacked together occupy valuable space. Third, poor vibration resistance: Single-point fixed connectors are prone to loosening during vehicle vibration, causing air leaks (the failure rate of commercial vehicle air braking systems is as high as 12%). Additionally, metal connectors are heavy and their thermal expansion coefficients do not match those of plastic pipes, making them prone to cracking after long-term use. Split designs require multiple reassemblies, and the use of sealant / Teflon tape relies on manual operation, resulting in poor consistency. To address the aforementioned issues, an integrated and modular automotive air circuit adapter is proposed, primarily used to optimize the piping layout and connection reliability of automotive air circuits (such as braking systems, air suspensions, turbocharger lines, etc.). Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems in the prior art, this utility model proposes an automotive air circuit adapter.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automotive air circuit adapter includes a mounting plate, which is elongated and has mounting holes at both ends. The main body of the mounting plate has spaced perforations, and adjacent perforations are supported by a ribbed structure. The mounting plate is provided with at least one straight-through pipe bundle adapter and at least one three-way pipe bundle adapter, which are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0005] As a further improvement to this solution, the straight-through tube bundle adapter has four sets, and the three-way tube bundle adapter has one set.

[0006] As a further improvement to this solution, the straight-through tube bundle adapter runs through both sides of the mounting plate, with one side being the straight-tube air inlet and the other side being the air outlet.

[0007] As a further improvement to this solution, reinforcing ribs are arranged around the outer perimeter of the straight air inlet end, and adjacent straight air inlets share a set of reinforcing ribs.

[0008] As a further improvement to this solution, a vent hole is provided through the middle of the air inlet and outlet of the straight cylinder, and the diameter of the vent hole is reduced at the connection between the air inlet and outlet of the straight cylinder.

[0009] As a further improvement to this solution, the mounting plate, straight-through pipe bundle adapter, and three-way pipe bundle adapter are integrally molded structures made of plastic.

[0010] As a further improvement to this solution, the positions of the straight cylinder air inlet and outlet can be interchanged, and both the straight cylinder air inlet and outlet are provided with connecting threads.

[0011] As a further improvement to this solution, the mounting plate is elliptical.

[0012] As a further improvement to this solution, the mounting plate is circular.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model integrates the tube bundle adapter and the mounting plate into a whole, eliminating the assembly of the two connecting to each other, saving labor time and costs. The straight tube bundle adapter and the three-way tube bundle adapter are arranged adjacent to each other and cooperate. The integrated structure reduces the connection points, reduces the risk of air leakage, and has a simple and compact structure with full functions.

[0014] 2. The integrated mounting plate adopts a double-layer plate with ribs in the middle, which reduces the deflection caused by the product's length direction and enhances the overall torsional resistance. The mounting plate has two flat surfaces, which facilitates sealing and cleaning without the accumulation of dirt.

[0015] 3. Using plastic materials instead of metal reduces material costs and allows for weight reduction margins for the entire vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an automotive air circuit adapter, including a mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 is elongated and has mounting holes 11 at both ends. The main body of the mounting plate 1 has spaced perforations 10, and adjacent perforations are supported by a rib structure. The mounting plate 1 is provided with at least one straight pipe bundle adapter 2 and at least one three-way pipe bundle adapter 3, which are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0021] The straight-through tube bundle adapter 2 has four sets, and the three-way tube bundle adapter 3 has one set.

[0022] The straight tube adapter 2 runs through both sides of the mounting plate 1, with one side being the straight tube inlet end 23 and the other side being the outlet end 22.

[0023] The straight air inlet end 23 is provided with reinforcing ribs 21 arranged around its outer perimeter, and adjacent straight air inlet ends 23 share a set of reinforcing ribs 21.

[0024] A vent 20 is provided through the middle of the straight air inlet end 23 and the air outlet end 22. The diameter of the vent 20 is reduced at the connection between the straight air inlet end 23 and the air outlet end 22.

[0025] Mounting plate 1, straight pipe bundle adapter 2, and three-way pipe bundle adapter 3 are integrally molded structures made of plastic. During use, the positions of the straight inlet end 23 and the outlet end 22 can be interchanged, and both the straight inlet end 23 and the outlet end 22 are provided with connecting threads; the connecting threads are used to connect with other pipeline equipment.

[0026] Work style: Installation and Fixing: Drill holes at suitable locations on the vehicle body or frame (if necessary), ensuring alignment with the mounting holes 11 on the mounting plate 1. The elongated mounting plate 1 is fixed through the mounting holes 11 at both ends. The hollow design 10 reduces weight, and the ribbed structure enhances overall rigidity. Specifically, the integrated mounting plate adopts a double-layer plate with a ribbed structure in the middle, reducing deflection caused by the product's length direction and enhancing overall torsional resistance. The mounting plate has two flat surfaces, facilitating sealing and easy cleaning to prevent dirt accumulation.

[0027] The straight tube bundle adapter 2 is used for straight transmission of air. The positions of the straight tube inlet end 23 and outlet end 22 can be interchanged for air inlet and outlet respectively, to adapt to different installation direction requirements. The diameter of the vent hole 20 is reduced at the middle connection to increase airflow speed, reduce turbulence, and reduce pressure loss.

[0028] The three-way tube bundle adapter 3 is used for branch connections in the air circuit (such as simultaneously supplying two air-consuming devices). After the airflow enters from the main inlet, it can be split to two outlets simultaneously, suitable for air suspension or dual-circuit braking systems. It features a one-piece molding process, lightweight plastic material, and a space-saving design with shared reinforcing ribs 21. The overall structure is vibration-resistant. Integrating the tube bundle adapter and mounting plate into a single unit eliminates the need for separate assembly, saving labor costs. The straight-through tube bundle adapter and the three-way tube bundle adapter are arranged adjacently for better fit. The integrated structure reduces connection points, lowers the risk of leakage, and features a simple, compact design with full functionality.

[0029] Example 2 This embodiment provides an automotive air circuit adapter, whose structure is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further discloses that the mounting plate 1 is elliptical. The elliptical mounting plate fits better to certain curved mounting surfaces (such as the curved surface of the cab), and the mounting holes 11 at both ends are located at the endpoints of the major axis of the ellipse, resulting in more stable fixing.

[0030] Example 3 This embodiment provides an automotive air circuit adapter, whose structure is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further discloses that the mounting plate 1 is circular. The circular mounting plate 1 is suitable for rotationally symmetrical or space-constrained scenarios (such as around a columnar structure). The adapter straight-through tube bundle adapter 2 and the three-way tube bundle adapter 3 are distributed along the circumference, and the mounting holes 11 can be symmetrically arranged or fixed at multiple points.

[0031] The above description is merely an illustrative example of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
