  • the description of the “same inclined direction” of the present application refers to incline to the same direction (for example as inclined to the top right corner as shown in FIG. 8 ). However, it does not mean the inclined angle needs to be completely the same. Preferably, according to the illustrated embodiment of the present application, the inclined angles of the second blades 42 are completely the same.
  • configurations of the first blade 41 can be straight, or curved, or bended or a combination thereof.
  • the description said “straight” means the structure of the first blade 41 itself is straight, no matter what arrangement angle it is.
  • the first blade 41 can have holes, or perforations, or flaps or a combination thereof.
  • a cross section of the first blade 41 along a width direction B-B is straight, or curved, or bended, or a combination thereof.
  • FIG. 20 to FIG. 23 are based upon line B-B of FIG. 16 , such shapes of the cross sections can be also applied to the first blade 41 in other embodiments, for example FIG. 12 , FIG. 14 , FIG. 15 or FIGS. 17 to 19 , detailed description of which is omitted herein.
  • the second blades 42 are also inclined to the cover 2 so that the second blades 42 are uncompletely perpendicular to the side plate 11 . Through inclining the first blades 41 and the second blades 42 to the cover 2 , the exhaust gas located at the rear end can be introduced to the front in order to improve uniformity of the gas flow.
  • the first blades 41 and the second blades 42 are separate from each other along the MF direction of the exhaust gas and form an empty 44 between the first blades 41 and the second blades 42 in order to improve the mixing uniformity of the exhaust gas and the urea droplets.
  • the mixer 40 includes at least three parts.
  • the mixer 40 includes a bracket 43 for fixing the first blades 41 and the second blades 42 .
  • the bracket 43 includes a plurality of inclined slots 430 to receive the first blades 41 and the second blades 42 .
  • the bracket 43 includes a U-shaped first bracket 431 and a second bracket 432 for mating with the first bracket 431 .
  • the inclined slots 430 are formed on top and bottom edges of the first bracket 431 and the second bracket 432 , respectively.
  • first bracket 431 and the second bracket will be soldered together firstly. Then, the first blades 41 and the second blades 42 will be inserted into corresponding inclined slots 430 and fixed together. Then, the mixer 40 will be soldered to the third left side wall 1231 and the third right side wall 1232 for fixation.
  • exhaust gas of the engine will enter the first sub-compartment 10 from the first opening 211 and the exhaust gas will flow downwardly as blocked by the side plate 11 .
  • the urea injector 3 will inject urea droplets into the mixing chamber assembly 100 .
  • the exhaust gas of the engine and the urea droplets pass through the mixer 40 and flow laterally under the guidance of the first blades in the first group 411 and the first blades in the second group 412 so as to form the double-swirl mixing effect.
  • flow distance within limited space can be increased to assure sufficient mixing of the urea droplets and the exhaust gas.
  • the urea droplets can be sufficiently heated to improve urea evaporation rate, improve uniformity of ammonia molecule and reduce the risk of urea deposits.
