Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a multi-stage noise reduction muffler for automotive exhaust systems. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-stage noise reduction mufflers are an important component of automotive exhaust systems. Their main function is to reduce and attenuate exhaust pressure pulsations through a multi-stage flow-splitting and pressure-dividing structure, thereby eliminating or reducing exhaust noise. These mufflers contain multiple silencing units, each employing a different silencing principle, working together to achieve optimal noise reduction.

[0003] However, existing automotive exhaust systems use multi-stage noise reduction mufflers, which typically fill the muffler cavity with sound-absorbing cotton. As we all know, when fuel is not completely burned, it enters the muffler and produces carbon deposits. Over time, these deposits accumulate on the sound-absorbing cotton, which not only easily causes blockages and affects exhaust, but also makes cleaning difficult.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to invent a multi-stage noise reduction muffler for automotive exhaust systems. Utility Model Content

[0017] The air inlet pipe, air outlet pipe, and muffler pipe are each uniformly perforated with a number of holes. The holes on the air inlet pipe are respectively located in the first muffler chamber and the second muffler chamber. The holes on the air outlet pipe are respectively located in the second muffler chamber and the third muffler chamber. The holes on the muffler pipe are located in the second muffler chamber.

The third muffler cavity 7 and the fourth muffler cavity 8 are connected. One end of the intake pipe 9 extends from one end of the housing 1 into the housing 1 and passes through the partitions 2 and 3, forming a fixed connection. The air pipe 9 is connected to the third silencer chamber 7; one end of the air outlet pipe 10 extends from the other end of the housing 1 into the interior of the housing 1 and passes through the partition 3 4 and partition 2 3, and is fixedly connected to the partition 1 2. The air outlet pipe 10 is connected to the first silencer chamber 5; the silencer pipe 11 is fixedly installed between the partition 1 2 and partition 2 3. The silencer pipe 11 is arranged perpendicularly to the partition 1 2 and partition 2 3.

Activated carbon is provided in the sound-absorbing cotton sleeve 17 so that the automobile gas can enter the sound-absorbing cotton sleeve 17 from the air inlet 18 to silence the gas and adsorb the carbon particles in the gas that are not fully burned.

[0036] In this embodiment, several annular grooves 19 of different diameters are provided on both sides of partition 1 2, partition 2 3 and partition 3 4 in order to reduce the overall weight and absorb sound.

[0037] In this embodiment, each annular groove 19 is filled with sound-absorbing cotton 20 and an activated carbon filter sheet of the same shape as the annular groove 19, so as to reduce the overall weight and absorb sound, while adsorbing unburned carbon particles in the gas.

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer surfaces of the air inlet pipe 9, the air outlet pipe 10, and the muffler pipe 11 are each coaxially provided with a plurality of annular cavities 21, and the outer surfaces of the air inlet pipe 9, the air outlet pipe 10, and the muffler pipe 11 are each provided with a plurality of slots 22. The slots 22 are connected to the corresponding annular cavities 21 in order to reduce the overall weight and to absorb sound.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of holes 23 are evenly provided through the air inlet pipe 9, the air outlet pipe 10, and the silencer pipe 11. The holes 23 on the air inlet pipe 9 are respectively located in the first silencer chamber 5 and the second silencer chamber 6.
