[0019] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The AA cross-sectional view of the control valve when it is open or closed, such as Figure 1-2 As shown: a muffler of this embodiment includes a muffler 4 and a resonance chamber 3, wherein the muffler 4 is connected to the engine through an exhaust pipe 1, and the resonance chamber 3 is connected to the exhaust pipe 1 through a bypass 31, and most of the engine exhaust can be controlled to enter the muffler 4 through the exhaust pipe 1, or a small part to all of it can enter the muffler 4 through the bypass 31 through the resonance chamber 3; the engine exhaust is controllable (the control method can be achieved by setting a valve and controlling the degree of opening of the valve to control the degree of the engine exhaust entering the muffler through the exhaust pipe) so as to facilitate the control of the size of the exhaust sound. When the valve is completely closed, the engine exhaust all enters the muffler 4 through the bypass 31 through the resonance chamber 3, and at this time the resonance chamber 3 has a great influence on the engine exhaust. The low-frequency components of the sound are attenuated, making the exhaust sound quieter and lighter. When the valve is opened, most of the exhaust gas from the engine enters the muffler 4 through the exhaust pipe 1 (a very small part of the airflow enters the bypass 31), so that the exhaust sound maintains a relatively high volume when reaching the muffler 4, and finally the sound discharged through the muffler 4 is steady and thick. When the valve is partially opened, part of the airflow can enter the muffler 4 through the exhaust pipe 1, and the other part of the airflow can enter the muffler 4 through the resonance chamber 3; there are two bypasses 31, and the two bypasses 31 can be respectively arranged on the muffler 4 and the exhaust pipe 1, or arranged at the engine outlet and the muffler 4, or both arranged on the exhaust pipe 1, to meet different installation requirements.

[0020] In the prior art, as the personalized and entertaining features of large-displacement motorcycles become increasingly prominent, the quality of exhaust sound has become an important performance indicator that users experience directly through hearing. Different user groups require different qualities of exhaust sound from vehicles in different application scenarios. For example, they need to be able to achieve both a quiet mode and a dynamic sound when needed. However, current motorcycle mufflers usually adopt a single-mode design, and the exhaust sound lacks variety, making it difficult to meet the diversity of sound preferences of different user groups and the usage requirements in different riding scenarios. The muffler and motorcycle of the utility model can achieve an exhaust system with both quiet and dynamic modes, thereby meeting the diverse needs of different user groups for exhaust sounds and improving the driving experience. In addition, the exhaust system has a simple structure and low cost.

[0021] In this embodiment, the bypass 31 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet and the outlet are correspondingly arranged at the upstream and downstream of the exhaust pipe 1; in this structure, the upstream of the exhaust pipe is a position close to the engine outlet, and the downstream of the exhaust pipe 1 is a position close to the muffler 4. The inlet and the outlet of the bypass 31 are correspondingly arranged at the upstream and downstream of the exhaust pipe 1, which can extend the flow path of the airflow, thereby improving the silencing effect of the resonance cavity 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, a control valve 2 is also included, and the control valve 2 is located in the exhaust pipe 1 between the upstream and downstream of the exhaust pipe 1; the control valve 2 can be controlled to open or close, and can be controlled by manual, solenoid valve control or motor control, for example, by cable control, and the control button can be set on the handlebar of the motorcycle for user operation. The control valve 2 is set between the inlet and outlet of the bypass 31, that is, correspondingly set upstream and downstream of the exhaust pipe 1, so as to control the flow path of the airflow.

[0023] In this embodiment, the resonance cavity 3 is an "L"-shaped structure, and the inlet and outlet are correspondingly arranged on the horizontal side and vertical side of the "L"-shaped structure; the vertical side is a side perpendicular to the exhaust duct 1. Setting the resonance cavity 3 as an "L"-shaped structure can make the airflow in the resonance cavity 3 resonate better, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.

[0024] In this embodiment, the chamber volume of the resonance cavity 3 is 2.5-4.5 times the engine displacement; the resonance effect of the resonance cavity 3 is related to its volume and the engine displacement. The proportional relationship between the chamber volume of the resonance cavity 3 and the engine displacement of this structure can better achieve resonance.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the bypass 31 is 30% to 40% of the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe. By controlling the proportional relationship between the inner diameter of the bypass 31 and the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe 1, the optimal matching of the gas volume of the bypass 31 and the exhaust volume of the exhaust pipe can be achieved, resonance is completed, and noise is further eliminated.

[0026] In this embodiment, the length of the inlet is 100mm-125mm, and the length of the outlet is 30mm-45mm; in this structure, the inlet length and the outlet length are the lengths of the two bypasses 31. This ratio range can achieve a better resonance effect, so that the resonance cavity 3 and the muffler 4 can be better matched.

[0027] The utility model discloses a motorcycle, comprising the muffler.
