[0034] like Figure 1-9As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust cooling system is provided, comprising a power body 10, a muffler body 20 and an air guide cover 30. A first air duct 11 is provided in the power body 10, the muffler body 20 is mounted on the power body 10, and an exhaust pipe 21 is provided on the side of the muffler body 20 facing away from the power body 10. The air guide cover 30 is mounted on the muffler body 20, and a communicating air inlet 41 and an air guide cavity 42 are formed between the air guide cover 30 and the muffler body 20. The air inlet 41 is close to the air outlet end of the first air duct 11. The air guide cover 30 is provided with a first air outlet 31 for the exhaust pipe 21 to extend into. An exhaust gap 43 is formed between the first air outlet 31 and the exhaust pipe 21, and the exhaust gap 43 is connected to the air guide cavity 42.

[0035] The cooling airflow drawn in by the impeller (not shown) cools the cylinder head of the power unit 10 as it flows through the first air duct 11. A portion of the airflow that has cooled the cylinder head of the power unit 10 is blown directly toward the muffler body 20, thereby cooling the muffler body 20. Another portion of the cooling airflow flows toward the air inlet 41 and into the air guide cavity 42 from there. The cooling airflow within the air guide cavity 42 not only cools the surface of the muffler body 20 but also cools the exhaust pipe 21. Finally, the airflow within the air guide cavity 42 is discharged through the exhaust gap 43.

[0036] This embodiment discloses an exhaust cooling system, which, by designing an air guide hood 30 on the muffler body 20, cools the cylinder head of the power main body 10. After entering the air guide cavity 42, the airflow not only cools the muffler body 20, but also cools the exhaust pipe 21, thereby reducing the exhaust pipe 21 and its exhaust temperature. At the same time, because the exhaust pipe 21 is arranged in the first exhaust port 31, the airflow in the air guide cavity 42 will flow out from the exhaust gap 43 along the surface of the exhaust pipe 21. Therefore, the airflow will continue to remove heat from the surface of the exhaust pipe 21 during the exhaust process, thereby further reducing the exhaust temperature (can be reduced to about 450°C) and improving the safety of the engine.

[0037] In one embodiment, the exhaust pipe 21 is provided with four air inlet holes 22, which are located within the air guide cavity 42 and arranged in a circular array along the axis of the exhaust pipe 21. Because the exhaust gas flows faster through the exhaust pipe 21 than within the air guide cavity 42, a portion of the cooling air within the air guide cavity 42 is drawn into the exhaust pipe 21 through the air inlet holes 22 as it flows toward the exhaust pipe 21. There, it mixes with the exhaust gas within the exhaust pipe, thereby lowering the temperature of the exhaust gas and achieving the purpose of reducing the exhaust temperature. The airflow that does not enter the exhaust pipe 21 flows out along the surface of the exhaust pipe 21, thereby cooling the exhaust pipe 21.

[0038] In one embodiment, a baffle 23 is provided within the air inlet 22. The baffle 23 extends along the length of the exhaust pipe 21, and the end of the baffle 23 away from the muffler body 20 is inclined toward the axis of the exhaust pipe 21. The baffle 23 is designed to block exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe 21, thereby preventing the exhaust gas from flowing from the air inlet 22 into the air guide cavity 42. Only the airflow within the air guide cavity 42 enters the exhaust pipe 21.

[0039] In one embodiment, a recessed groove 24 is formed on the side wall of the muffler body 20 located within the air guide cavity 42, and the exhaust pipe 21 is fixed in the recessed groove 24. The design of the recessed groove 24 facilitates the opening of the air inlet 22 in the exhaust pipe 21 while ensuring the length of the exhaust pipe 21, without causing the exhaust pipe 21 to extend excessively outward.

[0040] In one embodiment, an air guide tube 50 is fixed to the side of the air guide cover 30 facing away from the muffler body 20. The air guide tube 50 is in communication with the first exhaust port 31. The exhaust pipe 21 extends into the air guide tube 50, forming an exhaust gap 43 between the exhaust pipe 21 and the air guide tube 50. The design of the air guide tube 50 can extend the length of the exhaust gap 43 in the axial direction of the air guide tube 50, thereby extending the flow path of the airflow in the exhaust gap 43, thereby improving the cooling effect on the exhaust pipe.

[0041] In one embodiment, a shell 60 is provided on the power body 10, and the shell 60 cover is arranged outside the muffler body 20 and the air guide cover 30. A second air duct 44 is formed between the shell 60 and the muffler body 20, and a second air outlet 61 connected to the second air duct 44 is provided on the shell 60. The first air outlet 31 and the exhaust pipe 21 are both arranged in the second air outlet 61. The airflow discharged from the first air duct 11 will directly enter the second air duct 44. A part of the airflow entering the second air duct 44 will cool the surface of the muffler body 20 and finally be discharged from the second air outlet 61. The other part of the airflow will flow into the air guide cavity 42. The working principle of this part of the airflow has been explained in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here. By designing the shell 60, the cooling airflow discharged from the first air duct 11 can be fully utilized to improve the cooling effect on the muffler body 20. At the same time, it can also play a protective role for the muffler body 20 and improve safety.

[0042] In one embodiment, the muffler body 20 has a first side 25 and a second side 26 that are opposite each other, and the air inlet 41 is located on the first side 25. A deflector plate 70 is provided within the second air duct 44. The deflector plate 70 is located between the air inlet 41 and the outlet end of the first air duct 11. The deflector plate 70 is used to direct the airflow discharged from the outlet end of the first air duct 11 toward the second side 26. Specifically, the deflector plate 70 is fixed to the muffler body 20, with one end of the deflector plate 70 tilted toward the outlet end of the first air duct 11. Under the guiding effect of the deflector plate 70, a portion of the cooling airflow discharged from the first air duct 11 can be directed toward the second side 26, thereby improving the cooling effect on the muffler body 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, the power main body 10 is provided with a connecting pipe 80, the ends of which are respectively connected to the muffler body 20 and the cylinder head of the power main body 10. The connection between the connecting pipe 80 and the muffler body 20 is close to the air inlet 41. As the cooling air flows toward the air inlet 41, it removes some heat from the connecting pipe 80, thereby reducing the intake temperature of the muffler body 20.

[0044] This embodiment also provides an engine including the above-mentioned exhaust cooling system. Due to the use of the above-mentioned exhaust cooling system, it has the same working principle and technical effects as the exhaust cooling system in the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0045] In the specification of the present invention, a large number of specific details are described. However, it is understood that the embodiments of the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures and techniques are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and description of the present invention.
