In addition, in order to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one or more of the parts with the same structure or function are schematically drawn or only one or more of them are marked.

[0033] The present application provides an all-terrain vehicle, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The all-terrain vehicle includes an engine 10, a muffler assembly 30 and a first exhaust pipe 20: the engine 10 includes a cylinder 11; the muffler assembly 30 includes an exhaust pipe 31; one end of the first exhaust pipe 20 is connected to the exhaust port of the cylinder 11, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the muffler assembly 30; the exhaust gas generated by the engine 10 passes through the first exhaust pipe 20 and the inlet of the muffler assembly 30 in sequence, and is discharged into the atmosphere after passing through the exhaust pipe 31; the inner diameter of the first exhaust pipe 20 is R1, and the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe 31 is R2, 1.08≤R1 / R2≤1.33.

[0034] Through the above technical solution, the noise during exhaust emission can be reduced through the muffler assembly 30, wherein, by making R1 and R2 reach the above-mentioned ratio relationship, the difference between the air inlet cross-sectional area and the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the muffler assembly 30 can be effectively controlled, even if the two cross-sectional areas are close, which helps to reduce exhaust noise, reduce the exhaust temperature of the tail pipe 31, and help to further improve the output power of the engine 10.

[0035] Among them, the all-terrain vehicle may include a steering wheel and four wheels; or, the all-terrain vehicle may include a handlebar and two front and rear wheels, which is not limited in this application.

[0036] For further reference, Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the muffler assembly 30 further includes a second exhaust pipe 33 and a muffler body 32, the second exhaust pipe 33 is connected to the inlet of the muffler body 32, and the tail pipe 31 is connected to the outlet of the muffler body 32; the all-terrain vehicle further includes a first elastic member 40, the first exhaust pipe 20 is sealed on the second exhaust pipe 33, or the second exhaust pipe 33 is sealed on the first exhaust pipe 20, and the first elastic member 40 is connected between the outer surface of the first exhaust pipe 20 and the outer surface of the second exhaust pipe 33. Based on the above technical solution, the first exhaust pipe 20 and the muffler assembly 30 can be connected together through the first elastic member 40, so that when assembling the vehicle, the adverse effects of manufacturing errors on assembly can be reduced, ensuring that the first exhaust pipe 20 and the muffler assembly 30 can still be connected together through the first elastic member 40 sealing sleeve; at the same time, the elastically connected first exhaust pipe 20 and the muffler assembly 30 can better adapt to the vibration of the all-terrain vehicle and enhance the durability of the connection between the two.

[0037] In one possible embodiment, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5A first hanging ring 21 is provided on the outer surface of the first exhaust pipe 20, a second hanging ring 331 is provided on the outer surface of the second exhaust pipe 33, and hooks are provided at both ends of the first elastic member 40 to be respectively connected with the first hanging ring 21 and the second hanging ring 331. In this way, the first exhaust pipe 20 and the second exhaust pipe 33 can be quickly and detachably connected together by hook connection, and the structure is simple.

[0038] In one possible embodiment, reference Figure 5 , the number of the first elastic members 40 is at least three, and the at least three first elastic members 40 are evenly spaced around the first exhaust pipe 20. That is, all the first elastic members 40 are evenly spaced around the first exhaust pipe 20, which helps to stably connect the first exhaust pipe 20 and the second exhaust pipe 33.

[0042] In one example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the connecting section 22 is inserted into the exhaust port of the cylinder 11 in a shape-matched manner. In this way, not only can the connecting section 22 and the exhaust port of the cylinder 11 have good sealing performance, but also the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner hole of the first exhaust pipe 20 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the exhaust port of the cylinder 11 can be substantially the same, which is conducive to the smooth entry of exhaust gas into the first exhaust pipe 20.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7The all-terrain vehicle further includes a vehicle frame 51, and the muffler assembly 30 includes a first connection portion 35 and a second connection portion 36.

The number of the first connection portions 35 is at least two. Through this technical solution, the muffler assembly 30 can be stably mounted on the vehicle frame 51 through at least three connection portions. Since the muffler assembly 30 is flexibly connected to the vehicle frame 51, the adverse effect of the vibration of the vehicle frame 51 on the muffler assembly 30 can be reduced.

[0046] In one example, the first connection portion 35 and the second connection portion 36 are both connected to the muffler body 32 , the first connection portion 35 is connected to the upper end of the muffler body 32 , and the second connection portion 36 is connected to the lower end of the muffler body 32 .

[0047] In one example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 In the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle, the two first connecting parts 35 are respectively located on both sides of the center of the exhaust port of the cylinder 11.

[0048] In one example, reference Figure 7 The all-terrain vehicle further includes a muffler bracket 52, which is detachably mounted on the vehicle frame 51, and the second connecting portion 36 is connected to the muffler bracket 52. With this technical solution, during the assembly of the all-terrain vehicle, the muffler bracket 52 can be mounted on the vehicle frame 51 when the second connecting portion 36 needs to be connected at the end, so as to prevent the muffler bracket 52 from obstructing the assembly of other parts.
