[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —4:

[0027] A general-purpose gasoline engine muffler includes an outer cover 1, an inner liner 2, and an exhaust pipe 3. The outer cover 1 is open at the top, and the inner liner 2 is disposed inside the outer cover 1 and is in the form of a hollow cylinder. The inner liner 2 includes a circular tube 21 and two end plates 22. The end plates 22 are formed by edging at the corresponding ends of the circular tube 21. The axis of the circular tube 21 is arranged in the horizontal direction. The exhaust pipe 3 has a flange 4 at the upper end and extends into the circular tube 21 at the lower end. The part of the exhaust pipe 3 extending into the circular tube 21 has an exhaust port 5. One of the end plates 22 has an internal exhaust port 6. The outer cover 1 has an external exhaust port 7 corresponding to the position of the internal exhaust port 6.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: the flange 4 of the exhaust pipe 3 is installed on the gasoline engine. The exhaust gas generated by the gasoline engine enters the inner liner 2 through the exhaust pipe 3 and the exhaust port 5. After the exhaust gas is reduced in noise and silenced in the inner liner 2, it is discharged through the inner exhaust port 6 and the outer exhaust port 7.

[0029] The inner liner 2 of this utility model includes a circular tube 21 and two end plates 22. The circular tube 21 can be purchased from general-purpose tubing and cut to the required length without stretching, resulting in a high pass rate, low cost, and strong market competitiveness. Moreover, the inner liner 2 is a hollow cylindrical shape. When it has the same volume as the existing cubic inner liner, the cylindrical inner liner 2 of this utility model has a smaller surface area, that is, less material and lower cost. At the same time, the lower end of the exhaust pipe 3 extends into the circular tube 21, allowing the exhaust gas to enter the inner liner 2 better, resulting in good noise reduction and sound absorption. In addition, the upper end of the outer cover 1 of this utility model is open, so the exhaust pipe 3 does not need to be connected to the outer cover 1, nor does it need to be provided with an air inlet on the outer cover 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the diameter of the external exhaust hole 7 is larger than the diameter of the internal exhaust hole 6.

[0031] Installation structure of inner liner 2 and exhaust pipe 3: The upper wall of the round pipe 21 is provided with a through hole for the exhaust pipe 3 to extend into. The pipe wall of the exhaust pipe 3 is fixed to the hole wall by welding. The bottom of the exhaust pipe 3 is closed, and the bottom of the exhaust pipe 3 is fixed to the lower wall of the round pipe 21 by welding. The exhaust pipe 3 is fixed firmly and reliably. Figure 1 In the middle, the raised ring between the exhaust pipe 3 and the round pipe 21 is a welding mark.

[0032] The installation process of the inner liner 2 and the exhaust pipe 3 is as follows: A through hole is drilled in the upper wall of the round pipe 21, and a small hole is drilled in the lower wall of the round pipe 21. The bottom of the exhaust pipe 3 is then welded to the wall of the small hole, and the small hole is sealed. Next, the wall of the exhaust pipe 3 is welded to the wall of the through hole. This requires only three steps. Compared to existing technologies, which require first welding bolts to the top of the inner liner, drilling holes in the flange and outer cover, then passing the bolts through the through hole in the flange, and finally securing them with nuts, requiring four steps, this invention has fewer process steps, is easier to install, has higher production efficiency, and lower labor costs.

[0033] Furthermore, the through holes and small holes on the round tube 21 are drilled using plasma or laser drilling. The round tube 21 is then cut to the required length using laser or plasma cutting. The drilling process of the round tube 21 and the cutting of the tube are completed on the same machine tool. This results in fewer processes, less turnover, high production efficiency, and low cost.

[0034] In this embodiment, the drilling process of the circular tube 21 and the cutting of the tube are both completed using a plasma cutting machine, and are completed on the same plasma cutting machine.

[0035] Furthermore, both ends of the circular tube 21 are bent inward to form an outer edge 23 that wraps around the outer ring of the end plate 22.

[0036] To prevent impurities from entering the inner liner 2, and for better sound damping, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the internal exhaust hole 6 has a bracket 8 inside. The bracket 8 includes a support ring 81 and a plurality of circumferentially distributed support bars 82. The support ring 81 is disposed inside the internal exhaust hole 6. One end of the support bar 82 is connected to the support ring 81 and the other end is connected to the hole wall of the internal exhaust hole 6. An air outlet gap is formed between the inner ring of the support ring 81 and between two adjacent support bars 82.

[0037] Furthermore, the air outlet gap is formed by stamping, which is a simple process and easy to process.

[0038] Preferably, the inner liner 2 does not protrude from the upper surface of the outer cover 1.

[0039] Preferably, the outer diameter of the circular tube 21 is 52-54 mm. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the circular tube 21 is 53 mm and the thickness is 0.7 mm. The circular tube 21 of this invention has a small outer diameter, requires less material, and has low cost.

[0040] The structure of the outer cover 1, and the connection structure between the outer cover 1 and the inner liner 2: as follows Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the outer cover 1 includes a bottom plate, a front side plate, a rear side plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate. The bottom of the round tube 21 is fixed to the bottom plate of the outer cover 1 by welding. The middle part of the front side plate is bent inward to form a connecting plate 9. The upper end of the connecting plate 9 is fixed to the round tube 21 by welding. The structure is simple, easy to install and process, and the connection is firm and reliable. Figure 1 In the middle, the protrusion between the connecting plate 9 and the round tube 21 is the weld point. Figure 2 In the middle, the protrusions in the two grooves at the bottom of the outer cover 1 are the welding points.

[0041] Installation process of outer cover 1 and inner liner 2: First, drill a hole at the bottom of outer cover 1. Then, bend the middle part of the front side plate of outer cover 1 inward to form connecting plate 9. Then, weld the bottom of the round tube 21 to the hole wall of outer cover 1 and seal the hole. Finally, weld the upper end of connecting plate 9 to round tube 21.

[0042] For better ventilation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the exhaust pipe 3 is closed, the air outlet 5 is provided on the side wall of the exhaust pipe 3, and the air outlet 5 is evenly distributed in two or more rows around the circumference, with each row having two or more air outlets 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the air outlets 5 are evenly distributed in 4 rows around the circumference, with 4 air outlets 5 in each row, and 16 air outlets 5 on each exhaust pipe 3.

[0044] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
