Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically relating to an intercooler pipe that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive turbocharging systems, the intercooler pipe, as a critical connecting component, plays a vital role in transporting the cooling medium. Its ease of installation, structural stability, and vibration resistance directly affect the system's operating efficiency and service life. Currently, most intercooler pipes on the market adopt a one-piece injection-molded structure. For long or complex intercooler pipes, one-piece injection molding presents challenges such as high mold costs and molding difficulties. Furthermore, any partial damage requires replacement of the entire pipe, resulting in high maintenance costs. Simultaneously, the traditional intercooler pipe fixing structure design is relatively simple, often connecting to the car body via a single fixing plate. The connection strength between the fixing plate and the intercooler pipe is insufficient. During vehicle operation, engine vibration and road bumps can easily cause the intercooler pipe to loosen or shift, leading not only to cooling medium leakage but also accelerated wear at the connection point, shortening the intercooler pipe's service life. In addition, existing intercooler pipe fixing holes lack effective structural reinforcement design. Long-term stress on bolts and other fasteners can easily cause deformation of the fixing holes, further reducing the installation stability of the intercooler pipe. Utility Model Content

The front connecting section and the rear connecting section are respectively provided with threaded interfaces. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front connecting section and the rear connecting section respectively. A fixing pipe is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. A metal bushing is provided inside the fixing pipe. The metal bushing is fastened to the fixing pipe. The inner diameter of the rear connecting section gradually decreases.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0017] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the easy-to-install intercooler pipe includes a front connecting section 1 and a rear connecting section 2 connected sequentially. Both sections have threaded interfaces 3. Fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sections, and fixing pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the fixing plates 4. A metal bushing 6 is installed inside the fixing pipe 5, and the metal bushing 6 is interlocked with the fixing pipe 5. The inner diameter of the rear connecting section 2 gradually decreases, creating a Venturi effect and accelerating the liquid flow rate. The front connecting section 1 and the rear connecting section 2 are connected via the threaded interfaces 3. Bolts and other fasteners pass through the metal bushing 6 to secure the intercooler pipe inside the vehicle. The metal bushing 6 increases the structural strength of the connection and improves the intercooler pipe's shock resistance. The metal bushing 6 is interlocked with the fixing pipe 5 and will not detach from it, eliminating the need to simultaneously monitor the metal bushing 6 during intercooler pipe installation, thus simplifying the installation process.

[0018] Furthermore, connecting rings 7 are respectively provided on the front connecting section 1 and the rear connecting section 2, and the connecting rings 7 on the front connecting section 1 and the rear connecting section 2 are welded together. The front connecting section 1 and the rear connecting section 2 are formed separately, which avoids the problems of high difficulty and high cost in injection molding of large workpieces.

[0019] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 8 are connected between the connecting ring 7 and the front connecting segment 1 or the rear connecting segment 2. The reinforcing ribs 8 improve the structural strength of the connecting ring 7.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixing plate 4 on the front connecting section 1 is positioned upwards, while the fixing plate 4 on the rear connecting section 2 is positioned downwards. The different orientations of the fixing plates 4 can accommodate vibrations from different directions, thereby improving the shock resistance of the intercooler pipe.

[0021] Furthermore, one end of the fixing plate 4 is bent and connected to the front connecting section 1 or the rear connecting section 2. The bend can improve the elasticity of the fixing plate 4 and reduce the impact of vibration on the intercooler pipe.

[0022] Furthermore, the front connecting section 1 is integrally injection molded with the corresponding fixing pipe 5 and fixing plate 4, and the rear connecting section 2 is integrally injection molded with the corresponding fixing pipe 5 and fixing plate 4. Integral injection molding can improve sealing performance and structural strength.

[0023] Furthermore, one end of the metal bushing 6 is provided with a rear limiting ring 9, and the other end is fixedly provided with a front limiting ring 10. The front limiting ring 10 has a tapered guide slope 11, and the fixed tube 5 has an inner sliding groove for the front limiting ring 10 to be inserted. The diameter of the front limiting ring 10 is smaller than the diameter of the rear limiting ring 9. Before installing the intercooler pipe, the front limiting ring 10 is first inserted into the fixed tube 5, and then the front limiting ring 10 is inserted into the inner sliding groove. This prevents the metal bushing 6 from falling out of the fixed tube 5, facilitating the subsequent installation of the intercooler pipe. The tapered guide slope 11 facilitates the insertion of the front limiting ring 10.

[0024] Furthermore, the metal bushing 6 is made of aluminum alloy. The metal bushing 6 improves the structural strength at the connection with fasteners such as bolts, thereby enhancing the shock resistance of the intercooler pipe.

[0025] Furthermore, a positioning plate 12 is fixedly connected to the rear connecting section 2. The positioning plate 12 has positioning holes 13 and sensor mounting holes 14 that communicate with the interior of the rear connecting section 2. The sensor mounting holes 14 are used to install sensors such as flow rate and temperature sensors. The positioning holes 13 cooperate with other parts inside the vehicle to position the intercooler pipe for installation.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that the sensor and other technical features involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experimentation on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
