FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of an on-pipe noise-regulating valve arranged on a first exhaust pipe of the exhaust system for an internal combustion engine of the present disclosure.FIG. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of the on-pipe noise-regulating valve. - As shown in
FIG. 15 andFIG. 16 , still further, thefirst exhaust pipe 10 is further provided with an on-pipe noise-regulatingvalve 60. The flow of a fluid is regulated, guided or controlled by opening, closing or partially blocking various passages. The on-pipe noise-regulating valve can improve the noise sequence by regulating a back pressure of the exhaust system. - The on-pipe noise-regulating
valve 60 comprises apipe body 61, at least one rotating shaft (not shown in the figures), atorsion return spring 62, and apartition 63 which is connected to the rotating shaft. An appropriate air flow can drive thepartition 63 to rotate around the rotating shaft to a corresponding position. The maximum air flow can drive the partition to rotate to the maximum position p2, and the partition returns to an initial position p1 when the air flow is relatively small or where there is no air flow. - In summary, the exhaust system for a gasoline engine in the present disclosure can achieve the effects of weakening vibration and reducing noises only by using one muffler at a cold end. The exhaust system for a gasoline engine reduces the volume of the muffler, the overall weight, and the manufacturing cost.
- The exhaust system for a gasoline engine uses a long exhaust pipe and has a better acoustic performance at an idle speed and a low rotating speed range.
