[0022] The second shell 21 is also equipped with a partition member, which includes a partition plate 6 installed in the second shell 21 and a buffer tube 61 distributed and installed on the partition plate 6. The partition plate 6 divides the second shell 21 into a first cavity 26 and a second cavity 27.

[0026] The working principle of the present invention is: The front silencer 1 is an absorption silencer. The first silencer pipe 14 is a through-type design to quickly discharge the exhaust gas. The exhaust sound waves enter the first silencer chamber 16 through the first silencer air hole 15, and part of the sound waves enter the second silencer chamber 17 through the second silencer air hole 41, forming a circulating silencer channel. The sound waves continuously pass through the air holes, and the sound energy is gradually weakened by the phenomenon of mutual interference and cancellation of sound wave reflections. The silencer cotton 18 further absorbs the noise and improves the silencer effect. The folding plate is used to increase the diversion area, thereby improving the silencer effect. Figure 6 It is an indication diagram of the exhaust sound wave and airflow direction of the front muffler 1.
[0027] The rear silencer 2 is a reflective silencer. The second silencer pipe 5 includes a silencer cylinder 51 and a silencer branch pipe 52. The silencer cylinder 51 is provided with a plurality of guide plates 55. The guide plates 55 are used to divert the airflow introduced into the silencer cylinder 51. A portion of the airflow is discharged into the first cavity 26 through the third silencer air hole 53, and a portion of the airflow continues to move forward and is diverted through the second group of guide plates 55. Finally, the remaining airflow is discharged through the silencer branch pipe 52. Multiple airflow diversions are used to make the airflows impact each other, thereby consuming the airflow energy and achieving the effect of silence. This is the first step of the silencer structure of the rear silencer 2. The partition plate 6 divides the second shell 21 into a first cavity 26 and a second cavity 27. The airflow in the first cavity 26 is guided into the second cavity 27 by using the buffer tube 61 distributed on the partition plate 6. The two sides of the buffer tube 61 are closed structures, and the airflow is guided by the fifth silencer air hole 62 on the side of the buffer tube 61. The partition plate 6 divides the second shell 21 into different cavities, and multiple flow controls are used to make the exhaust sound waves interfere with each other and cancel each other, and multiple channels are formed by the distributed buffer tubes 61 to divert the airflow. After the airflows are gathered in the second cavity 27, they impact each other to consume the energy of the airflow and achieve further diversion and noise reduction. This is the second-step silencer structure of the rear silencer 2. The airflow in the second cavity 27 enters the third silencer pipe 24 through the sixth silencer air hole 25 and is discharged through the exhaust tail pipe 23 that gradually expands outward to further reduce the airflow speed and reduce the airflow business, which is the third silencer structure of the rear silencer 2.
