[0022] This invention provides a silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler, comprising an intake assembly, a mounting assembly, a front cover mesh plate 1, a front cover cotton 2, a muffler upper cover 3, an upper cover mesh plate 4, an upper cover cotton 5, a muffler lower cover 6, a lower cover mesh plate 7, a lower cover cotton 8, a front partition plate 9, a rear partition plate 10, a front muffler pipe 11, multiple plugs 12, a rear muffler pipe 13, a muffler rear end cover 14, a rear end cover mesh plate 15, a rear end cover cotton 16, a muffler cover 17, a muffler cover cotton 18, a muffler cover mesh plate 19, and an exhaust pipe 20. The upper cover cotton 5 is disposed on the muffler upper cover 3 and the... Between the upper cover mesh plate 4, the lower cover cotton 8 is disposed between the lower cover 6 and the lower cover mesh plate 7 of the muffler, the upper cover 3 of the muffler is fixedly connected to the lower cover 6 of the muffler, the front partition plate 9 and the rear partition plate 10 are both connected to the upper cover mesh plate 4 and the lower cover mesh plate 7, the front muffler pipe 11 and the rear muffler pipe 13 are respectively disposed on the front partition plate 9 and the rear partition plate 10, the front cover mesh plate 1 is connected to the upper cover 3 and the lower cover 6 of the muffler, and the front cover cotton 2 is disposed on the front cover mesh plate 1; The air intake assembly is disposed on the lower cover 6 of the muffler. Multiple plugs 12 are respectively disposed on the front muffler pipe 11 and the rear muffler pipe 13. The rear end cover plate 15 is connected to the upper cover 3 and the lower cover 6 of the muffler. The rear end cover cotton 16 is disposed on the rear end cover plate 15. The muffler bag 17 is disposed on the rear end cover plate 15. The muffler bag cotton 18 is disposed between the rear end cover plate 15, the muffler bag 17 and the muffler bag cover plate 19. The air outlet pipe 20 is disposed on the muffler bag 17.

[0023] In this specific embodiment, during actual use, gas enters between the upper cover mesh plate 4 and the lower cover mesh plate 7 through the air intake assembly. Due to the obstruction of the front cover plate, it then enters through the front silencer pipe 11 and is guided to the space between the rear partition plate 10 and the rear cover mesh plate 15. At this time, the gas will again enter between the front partition plate 9 and the rear partition plate 10 through the mesh on the rear partition plate 10, and then be guided through the rear silencer pipe 13 into the silencer bag 17 for further silencing before exiting from the above-mentioned outlet. The air tube 20 can be used to discharge the air. The installation assembly is used to install the entire muffler. Because the muffler upper cover 3, the upper cover mesh plate 4 and the upper cover cotton 5 are assembled by stamping, and the muffler lower cover 6, the lower cover mesh plate 7 and the lower cover cotton 8 are assembled, the uniformity of the sound-absorbing cotton will not be poor. This method solves the technical problem in the prior art where the sound-absorbing cotton in the muffler is manually added to the interlayer, resulting in the inability to guarantee the amount of sound-absorbing cotton added and the poor uniformity.

[0024] The silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler also includes a spark eliminator base 21, a spark eliminator cover 22, multiple bolts 23 and multiple nuts 24.

[0030] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes two front support ears 32 and two rear support ears 33. Both front support ears 32 are connected to one side of the front cover of the muffler, and both rear support ears 33 are fixedly connected to one side of the rear cover 14 of the muffler.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, by providing two front support ears 32 and two rear support ears 33, it is convenient to install the entire silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler in a designated location.

[0032] Furthermore, the silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler also includes a filter screen 34, which is disposed on the spark extinguisher cover plate 22.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, by setting the filter screen 34, impurities in the gas can be filtered and discharged.

[0034] This invention also provides a manufacturing process for a silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler, used to produce the silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler as described above. Includes the following steps: First, the upper cover 3, the upper cover mesh plate 4, and the upper cover cotton 5 of the muffler are assembled by stamping. Then, the lower cover 6, the lower cover mesh plate 7, and the lower cover cotton 8 of the muffler are assembled. Then, the upper cover 3 of the muffler and the lower cover 6 of the muffler are assembled together, and the remaining parts are assembled together. The spark extinguisher cover plate 22 is fixed to the spark extinguisher base 21 by a plurality of bolts 23 and a plurality of nuts 24; Next, check the appearance of the muffler for any defects, use professional tools to measure the accuracy of key dimensions, and test the airtightness by inflating it.

[0035] During the assembly process, the robot uses visual recognition and path planning algorithms to weld the assembled components according to preset parameters and paths, and uses sensors to collect weld data in real time, and uses anomaly detection algorithms to monitor the quality of key welds. Appearance inspection steps: Images of the muffler surface are acquired at 30 frames per second using an industrial camera. The images are then input into a defect detection model trained on YOLOv8s (the training set contains 50,000 augmented images covering 6 types of defects, including scratches and dents). The model outputs the defect type, location, and confidence level in real time and automatically marks defect areas ≥0.05mm in the images. Finally, a JSON report containing defect statistics and sorting instructions is generated.

[0036] In the silent variable frequency gasoline generator muffler and manufacturing process of this invention, during specific use, gas enters between the upper cover mesh plate 4 and the lower cover mesh plate 7 through the intake assembly. Due to the obstruction of the front cover plate, it then enters through the front muffler pipe 11 and is guided to the space between the rear partition plate 10 and the rear end cover mesh plate 15. At this time, the gas will again enter between the front partition plate 9 and the rear partition plate 10 through the mesh on the rear partition plate 10, and then be guided into the muffler housing 17 through the rear muffler pipe 13. After the initial silencing, the sound can be discharged through the aforementioned exhaust pipe 20. The installation assembly is used to install the entire muffler. Because the muffler upper cover 3, the upper cover mesh plate 4, and the upper cover cotton 5 are assembled by stamping, and the muffler lower cover 6, the lower cover mesh plate 7, and the lower cover cotton 8 are assembled, the uniformity of the sound-absorbing cotton will not be poor. This method solves the technical problem in the prior art where the sound-absorbing cotton in the muffler is manually added to the interlayer, resulting in the inability to guarantee the quantity of sound-absorbing cotton added and the poor uniformity.

[0037] The above description discloses only one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiments can be implemented, and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
