[0033] A bellows connection structure for a silencing cavity assembly includes a silencing cavity body and a bellows. The silencing cavity body includes an air intake 1, and one end of the bellows is provided with an interface 2 that mates with the air intake 1. The interface 2 includes an outer layer 21 and an inner liner 22. The inner liner 22 is coaxially disposed inside the outer layer 21, and the inner ends of the inner liner 22 and the outer layer 21 are connected. The outer layer 21 is fitted onto the outer wall of the air intake 1, and the inner liner 22 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the air intake 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the air intake 1 end of the silencing cavity body is embedded between the outer layer 21 and the inner lining layer 22 of the corrugated pipe interface 2, clamping the air intake pipe from both the inside and outside, thus ensuring a secure installation. This also reduces the number of components, simplifies the installation process, and lowers costs.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer jacket 21 includes a clamping portion 211, an extension portion 212, and a reinforcing portion 213 arranged sequentially from the inner end to the outer end.
