[0002] A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle whose driving system is composed of two or more single driving systems that can operate simultaneously. The so-called hybrid vehicle generally refers to a hybrid vehicle that uses a traditional internal combustion engine (diesel engine or gasoline engine) and an electric motor as a power source. In addition, there are also hybrid vehicles whose engines have been modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane and ethanol fuel.

[0003] At present, hybrid vehicles are also equipped with mufflers, and may have mufflers installed at both the front and rear. This design is usually to further reduce exhaust noise and improve ride comfort. The rear muffler will be connected to the front muffler, and the rear muffler intake pipe will be used for connection. However, the installation of the rear muffler intake pipe is now more troublesome and is generally fixed by bolts. The bolt fixing method causes trouble for subsequent disassembly, especially high temperature will cause damage to the bolts, affecting the disassembly efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0007] The inner side surfaces of the side panels are also longitudinally provided with positioning grooves, which pass through the limiting grooves. The two side surfaces of the connecting strips protrude opposite the positioning grooves to form positioning strips. The positioning strips are slidably arranged in the positioning grooves. The cross-sections of the positioning strips and the positioning grooves and the cross-sections of the limiting grooves and the limiting strips are all arranged in a trapezoidal structure.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a first screw hole is provided on the inner side of the fixing block, a second screw hole is axially provided at the center of the connecting strip and passes through the connecting strip, and bolts are threadedly connected in the first screw hole and the second screw hole.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, arc-shaped reinforcement blocks are installed on the inner side surfaces of the top plate, one on the left and one on the right, and the inner side surfaces of the reinforcement blocks are in contact with the outer ring surface of the connecting flange.

That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a hybrid vehicle rear exhaust air intake pipe of the utility model comprises a rear exhaust air intake pipe 1 and a butt pipe 2, connecting flanges 4 are installed on the opposite surfaces of the butt pipe 2 and the rear exhaust air intake pipe 1, and the connecting flanges 4 are set in abutment with each other, an inner tube 15 is installed inside the opening of the rear exhaust air intake pipe 1, and the other end of the inner tube 15 is inserted into the butt pipe 2, a top plate 3 is provided on the top surface of the connecting flange 4, side plates 6 are vertically installed on the four corners of the top plate 3, the inner sides of the side plates 6 are in abutment with the outer sides of the connecting flange 4, a connecting strip 7 for connecting the side plates 6 on both sides is longitudinally arranged at the lower end of the side plate 6, a fixing block 13 is installed on the two side plates 6 in the width direction, and one end of the connecting strip 7 is set in abutment with the fixing block 13.

[0022] In this embodiment, the inner side of the side plate 6 is vertically provided with a limiting groove, and the outer side of the connecting flange 4 is protruded to form a limiting strip 14 at the position opposite to the limiting groove, and the limiting strip 14 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove;

[0023] The inner side surfaces of the side panels 6 are longitudinally provided with positioning grooves 12, which are arranged through the limiting grooves, and the two side surfaces of the connecting strips 7 are protruding to form positioning strips 8 at the positions corresponding to the positioning grooves 12, and the positioning strips 8 are slidably arranged in the positioning grooves 12, and the cross-sections of the positioning strips 8 and the positioning grooves 12 and the cross-sections of the limiting grooves and the limiting strips 14 are all arranged in a trapezoidal structure;

[0024] The connecting strip can be fixed directly to the side panel through the positioning strip and positioning groove of the trapezoidal structure, avoiding the side panel from opening inwards, so as to ensure the axial firmness of the butt-joint pipe and the rear exhaust intake pipe.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first screw hole is provided on the inner side surface of the fixing block 13, a second screw hole is axially provided at the center of the connecting strip 7 and penetrates the connecting strip 7, and bolts 9 are threadedly connected in the first screw hole and the second screw hole.
