INTAKE JOINT STRUCTURE FOR TURBOCHARGER

Disclosed is an intake joint structure capable of blocking backflow of lubricating oil 18 at a connection position between an air inlet 12 of a turbocharger and a suction pipe 24. A backflow-preventive plate 25 is integrally molded to have a cylindrical portion 25a fitted over the air inlet 12 and a tapered portion 25b curved inward from an upstream end of the cylindrical portion 25a and converged downstream to provide an open end. A downstream end 24a of a suction pipe 24 is molded by soft material over a predetermined range using exchange blow molding. The cylindrical portion 25a of the backflow-preventive plate 25 is fitted over the air inlet 12 through a grommet 26 (first soft layer) and the downstream end 24a of the suction pipe 24 is fitted over the cylindrical portion 25a and is banded by a hose band 27.

WIRE HARNESS WALL-PASSING STRUCTURE AND INSTALLATION METHOD THEREOF

A wire harness wall-passing structure and an installation method thereof. The wire harness wall-passing structure comprises: a sleeve pipe, a pouring sealant, and at least one sealing plug, wherein the sleeve pipe is alternately filled with the pouring sealant and the sealing plug along the axis direction of the sleeve pipe; and at least one first through hole is-formed in the sealing plug, and a wire harness which can penetrate through the pouring sealant and the first through hole in the sealing plug. According to the wire harness wall-passing structure, the sleeve pipe is filled with the pouring sealant and the sealing plug, so multi-stage sealing and multi-time sealing of the wire harness are achieved, the sealing performance of the wall-passing structure is greatly improved, and the wire harness wall-passing structure is more suitable for to-be-fixed devices such as a high pressure vessel.
