[0022] An air outlet pipe 3 is fixedly provided at the top of the silencer cylinder 1, and the lower end of the air outlet pipe 3 passes through the silencer cylinder 1. A second silencer hole 31 is opened on the circumferential side wall of the part of the air outlet pipe 3 passing through the silencer cylinder 1, and a silencer cotton 7 is fixedly provided at a position corresponding to the second silencer hole 31 in the silencer cylinder 1; the aperture of the first silencer hole 21 is larger than the aperture of the second silencer hole 31; and the air inlet pipe 2 and the air outlet pipe 3 are both coaxially arranged with the silencer cylinder 1.

[0023] A venturi tube 4 is fixedly provided at the inner bottom end of the air outlet pipe 3. The venturi tube 4 includes a lower cone tube 41, a straight tube 42 and an upper cone tube 43 which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, and the lower cone tube 41, the straight tube 42 and the upper cone tube 43 are an integrated structure; a dust exhaust connecting pipe 5 is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the muffler body 1 at a position corresponding to the venturi tube 4, and the dust exhaust connecting pipe 5 includes a connecting pipe 51 fixedly arranged on the muffler body 1, the inner end of the connecting pipe 51 passes through the muffler body 1 and is fixedly provided with a bend 52, the inner pipe opening of the bend 52 is vertically upward and extends into the lower cone tube 41, and the inner pipe opening of the bend 52 is coaxially arranged with the venturi tube 4;

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] The air outlet of the engine 900 is connected to the air inlet pipe 2 of the muffler through a pipe, and the dust exhaust port of the air filter 800 is connected to the dust exhaust connecting pipe 5 of the muffler through a pipe.

[0026] After the engine 900 is started normally, the air mixed with impurities is filtered by the air filter 800, and the filtered clean air enters the engine 900. The exhaust gas discharged from the outlet of the engine 900 enters the muffler cylinder 1 through the first muffler hole 21 of the intake pipe 2. The exhaust gas flowing through the first muffler hole 21 flows toward the venturi tube 4 through the vent hole 104. The exhaust gas flowing through the venturi tube 4 is discharged through the outlet pipe 3, and the low-frequency noise generated by the exhaust gas is filtered and silenced by the first muffler hole 21 and the second muffler hole 31. Since the aperture of the first muffler hole 21 is larger than the aperture of the second muffler hole 31, the frequency range of eliminating low-frequency noise can be expanded, and the high-frequency noise is filtered and silenced by the muffler cotton 7, thereby further improving the muffler effect.

[0027] Particulate matter and other sediments are intercepted in the cavity between the filter element and the cylinder of the air filter 800. After a period of accumulation, the particulate matter is collected near the dust outlet under the action of the air flow; when the high-speed and high-pressure exhaust gas inside the silencer cylinder 1 flows through the Venturi tube 4, a negative pressure is generated at the upper cone 43 thereof, and the particulate matter collected at the dust outlet is sucked into the Venturi tube 4 by the negative pressure. When the exhaust gas passes through the narrowest part of the lower cone 41 and the straight tube 42, the exhaust gas is compressed, the flow rate is increased, and the speed of the particulate matter discharge is increased; in addition to producing a noise reduction effect, the silencer cotton 7 also absorbs tiny particles of impurities. The particles that are not absorbed are discharged to the outside of the muffler under the thrust of the exhaust gas, thereby realizing the function of automatically removing the particulate dust inside the air filter 800;

[0028] In practice, not all particulate impurities will be discharged at one time. A small amount of particulate impurities will fall downward inside the silencer cylinder 1. The cover plate 22 and the partition 103 will block the falling particles to prevent the particulate impurities from falling into the exhaust pipe of the engine 900 and prevent the particulate impurities in the muffler from entering the interior of the engine 900. The exhaust gas blown out through the first silencer hole 21 of the intake pipe 2 will blow these falling particulate impurities upward.

[0029] Furthermore, a support plate 102 is fixedly provided at the inner upper end of the silencer cylinder 1, and the silencer cotton 7 is arranged between the support plate 102 and the top wall of the silencer cylinder 1; a connecting flange 23 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the bottom end of the air intake pipe 2; a fixing bracket 53 is fixedly provided in the lower cone tube 41, and the inner pipe mouth of the bend pipe 52 is fixed on the fixing bracket 53; the silencer cotton 7 is firmly fixed in the silencer cylinder 1 by the support plate 102, and the bend pipe 52 of the dust exhaust connecting pipe 5 is firmly fixed in the venturi tube 4 by the fixing bracket 53; damage to the internal structure of the silencer and the silencer and dust exhaust effects due to vibration generated by the dust exhaust pipe of the silencer and the air filter 800 is avoided.

[0030] Furthermore, a rain cap 6 is fixedly provided at the top of the outlet pipe 3. The rain cap 6 includes a ring sleeve 61 fixedly provided on the outer wall of the top of the outlet pipe 3. An ear plate 62 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the ring sleeve 61. A rain shield 63 is movably connected to the ear plate 62 via a pin. The airflow discharged from the outlet pipe 3 will push the rain shield 63 open, thereby allowing the exhaust gas and particulate impurities after silence to be discharged. After the exhaust process is completed, the rain shield 63 of the rain cap 6 will automatically fall to the outlet of the outlet pipe 3 under the action of gravity, preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the muffler, avoiding corrosion of the product caused by rainwater flowing into the interior of the muffler and shortening the product life. At the same time, it prevents large particles or impurities from falling into the interior of the muffler due to long-term parking and affecting its muffler effect.

[0031] The silencer with automatic dust removal function disclosed in this embodiment filters and silences the high-frequency noise generated by the exhaust gas through the first silencer hole 21 provided on the air inlet pipe 2 and the second silencer hole 31 provided on the air outlet pipe 3. Since the aperture of the first silencer hole 21 is larger than the aperture of the second silencer hole 31, the frequency range of eliminating low-frequency noise can be expanded, and the high-frequency noise is filtered and silenced by the silencer cotton 7 provided inside the silencer cylinder 1, thereby further improving the silencer effect. When the silencer is working, the negative pressure generated by the venturi tube 4 inside the silencer draws out the particulate impurities from the dust outlet of the air filter 800, and the particulate impurities are removed from the dust outlet of the air filter 800 along with the exhaust gas through the airflow inside the silencer. The muffler is discharged through the exhaust pipe 3, and through the structure of the dust exhaust connecting pipe 5 and the cooperation with the venturi tube 4, the particulate impurities at the dust exhaust port of the air filter 800 can be stably and quickly extracted and discharged, and the dust exhaust and dust removal effects are good; the internal structure of the muffler is simple and stable, ensuring the stability of the muffler working in a vibration environment; through the structure of the intake pipe 2 and the setting of the partition 103, the particulate impurities in the muffler are prevented from entering the interior of the engine 900; the rainproof cap 6 is used to prevent rainwater from flowing into the interior of the muffler and causing corrosion of the product, thereby shortening the product life; at the same time, it is avoided that large particles or impurities fall into the interior of the muffler due to long-term parking and affect its silencing effect.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
