[0012] In some embodiments, the two first pipe segments are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner, with the opposite side of the two first pipe segments open.

[0013] The gearbox intake and exhaust assembly also includes two mesh covers, which are detachably connected to the two first pipe sections and respectively cover the two openings.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] The following is combined Figures 1-3 This invention describes the gearbox intake and exhaust air assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] The transmission intake and exhaust assembly of this embodiment includes a first intake pipe 1, a second intake pipe 2, and an exhaust pipe 3. The first end of the first intake pipe 1 is connected to the intake port of the transmission 6, and the second end of the first intake pipe 1 is higher than the transmission 6. The second intake pipe 2 is arranged parallel to the first intake pipe 1, and its first end is connected to the intake port of the transmission 6, while its second end is higher than the transmission 6. The first end of the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to the exhaust port of the transmission 6.

[0027] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the gearbox air intake and exhaust assembly is provided with a first air intake pipe 1 and a second air intake pipe 2 arranged in parallel, that is, the air intake paths formed by the two are not connected to each other. This effectively avoids the airflow in the two air intake paths from interfering with each other and causing airflow loss. The airflow into the gearbox 6 through the two air intake paths is stable and reliable, and the heat dissipation reliability of the gearbox 6 is high.

[0028] It should be noted that the second end of the first air intake pipe 1 and the second end of the second air intake pipe 2 are each their own air inlets. By setting the second end of the first air intake pipe 1 and the second end of the second air intake pipe 2 to be higher than the gearbox 6, it is possible to further reduce the amount of external moisture entering the gearbox 6 through the second ends of the first air intake pipe 1 and the second ends of the second air intake pipe 2 when the vehicle is in a water-filled road condition, thereby reducing the risk of accelerated corrosion of metal parts.

[0029] In some embodiments, the gearbox 6 is provided with two air inlets, and the first end of the first air inlet pipe 1 and the first end of the second air inlet pipe 2 are respectively connected to the two air inlets.

[0030] At this time, the first intake pipe 1 and the second intake pipe 2 are introduced into the gearbox 6 from different positions through two intake ports, so that the two airflows can more evenly dissipate heat from the gearbox 6, and the heat dissipation uniformity of the gearbox 6 is higher.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two air inlets of the gearbox 6 are arranged in a staggered manner along the axial and radial directions of its inner output shaft, and are both located on the top wall of the gearbox 6.

[0032] In some embodiments, each of the first intake pipe 1 and the second intake pipe 2 includes a first pipe segment 11, and the two first pipe segments 11 are connected together.

[0033] By connecting two first pipe sections 11, the first intake pipe 1 and the second intake pipe 2 are relatively fixed in the position of the first pipe section 11, and the two limit each other, effectively preventing the position of the two from becoming loose and affecting the intake efficiency.

[0034] For example, a first pipe section 11 is formed at the top of each of the first air intake pipe 1 and the second air intake pipe 2, and an air inlet is formed on the first pipe section 11.

[0035] In some embodiments, the two first pipe sections 11 are integrally formed. This reduces the number of parts in the gearbox intake and exhaust assembly, resulting in higher assembly efficiency and lower cost.

[0036] For example, the two first pipe sections 11 are arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner and are integrally blow-molded.

[0037] In some embodiments, each of the first intake pipe 1 and the second intake pipe 2 further includes a second pipe section 12 and a third pipe section 13. The second pipe section 12 is a flexible hose and is connected between the first pipe section 11 and the third pipe section 13. The third pipe section 13 has a connector 14 for communicating with the air inlet of the gearbox 6 at one end opposite to the second pipe section 12.

[0038] The second pipe section 12 is designed as a flexible hose, which effectively eliminates assembly errors of the gearbox air intake and exhaust components, thereby effectively improving the connection efficiency and reliability between the gearbox air intake and exhaust components and the gearbox 6.

[0039] For example, the second pipe section 12 is a corrugated pipe and the third pipe section 13 is a blow-molded pipe. The third pipe section 13 in the first air intake pipe 1 has a different length than the third pipe section 13 in the second air intake pipe 2, so that after the two are connected to the two air intakes through the corresponding connectors 14, the air intake and exhaust components of the gearbox are more compactly arranged and more reasonably laid out on the vehicle.

[0040] In some embodiments, the two first pipe sections 11 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner, with one side of the two first pipe sections 11 facing away from each other and having an opening 111. The gearbox intake and exhaust assembly also includes two mesh covers 4, which are detachably connected to the two first pipe sections 11 and respectively cover the two openings 111.

[0041] The mesh cover 4 effectively prevents rainwater, dust, and other impurities from entering the gearbox 6 through the first pipe section 11 and causing adverse effects, thus reducing the wear rate of belts and the corrosion rate of metal parts inside the gearbox 6, resulting in a longer service life for the gearbox 6. Simultaneously, the two first pipe sections 11 are provided with openings 111 on opposite sides, ensuring that outside air entering each first pipe section 11 through the openings 111 is less likely to interfere with each other, thus improving the reliability of air intake in the first intake pipe 1 and the second intake pipe 2. Furthermore, the mesh cover 4 is detachably connected to the first pipe section 11, facilitating cleaning and replacement of the mesh cover 4 and providing more reliable protection against rainwater, dust, and other impurities.

[0042] For example, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the two first pipe sections 11 are the same size and shape, and the two mesh covers 4 are the same size and shape, and can be replaced by each other, which effectively reduces the types and costs of parts in the gearbox intake and exhaust components.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mesh cover 4 includes an injection-molded frame 41 and a nylon mesh 42. The injection-molded frame 41 is connected to the first pipe section 11 by fasteners. The injection-molded frame 41 has a through hole communicating with the first pipe section 11. The nylon mesh 42 is connected to the injection-molded frame 41 and covers the through hole.

[0044] Therefore, the connection between the injection-molded frame 41 and the first pipe section 11 is convenient and reliable, and the nylon mesh 42 can be used in various complex environments, has a long service life, and has high stability and reliability in blocking dust and rainwater.

[0045] For example, the nylon mesh 42 is a high-sealing mesh. The edge of the injection frame 41 is provided with a connecting flange on the side facing the first pipe section 11. The connecting flange is provided with a mounting hole. The first pipe section 11 is provided with a threaded hole. The fastener is a bolt. After the injection frame 41 is sleeved on the first pipe section 11 through the connecting flange, the bolt passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thus realizing the installation of the mesh cover 4 on the first pipe section 11.

[0046] In some embodiments, the gearbox intake and exhaust assembly further includes a metal grille 5, which is connected to the second end of the exhaust pipe 3 and located within the exhaust pipe 3.

[0047] The metal grille 5 serves two purposes: firstly, it effectively prevents particles from falling off the gears or belts inside the gearbox 6 during high-speed operation from being splashed at high speed onto external high-temperature components through the exhaust pipe 3, thus avoiding safety hazards; secondly, it also supports the exhaust pipe 3, preventing it from being deformed by external impacts and affecting exhaust efficiency.

[0048] For example, the metal grille 5 is snapped into the air outlet pipe 3.

[0049] For example, the metal grille 5 is connected to the air outlet pipe 3 by bolts.

[0050] The all-terrain vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a gearbox 6 and a gearbox air intake / exhaust assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The gearbox 6 is provided with an air intake and an air outlet. At least one of the first air intake pipe 1 and the second air intake pipe 2 is connected to the air intake, and the air outlet pipe 3 is connected to the air outlet.

[0051] The technical advantages of the all-terrain vehicle according to the present invention are the same as those of the gearbox air intake and exhaust components in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0052] It should be noted that the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to the gearbox 6 via the pressure plate 7, that is, the pressure plate 7 is connected to the gearbox 6 via fasteners, and a portion of the first end of the exhaust pipe 3 is clamped between the pressure plate 7 and the gearbox 6.

[0053] In some embodiments, the all-terrain vehicle also includes a muffler, with an opening at the end of the exhaust pipe 3 away from the gearbox 6 facing the muffler.

[0054] This ensures that the air outlet of the exhaust pipe 3 blows directly onto the muffler to cool it down, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cooling gas in the gearbox 6 and effectively enhancing the performance and reliability of the all-terrain vehicle.
