Exhaust muffler for vehicle

摘要

An exhaust muffler for a vehicle includes a muffler body that is connected to an exhaust pipe and that includes therein a plurality of expansion chambers. The muffler body has an upstream side cover that has an exhaust entrance connected to the exhaust pipe and that closes an upstream side opening of the muffler body, and a communication pipe that couples one of the plurality of expansion chambers positioned in a most upstream side part of an exhaust flow path and the exhaust entrance to each other. The exhaust pipe and the communication pipe are integrally joined to a peripheral portion of the exhaust entrance by a common welding bead.

1. An exhaust muffler for a vehicle comprising
a muffler body connected to an exhaust pipe and including therein a plurality of expansion chambers, the muffler body shaving:
an upstream side cover having an exhaust entrance connected to the exhaust pip, and the upstream side cover closing an upstream side opening of the muffler body; anda communication pipe coupling one of the plurality of expansion chambers positioned in a most upstream side part of an exhaust flow path and the exhaust entrance to each other;wherein the exhaust entrance is protrusion-shaped and projects in an upstream direction, an upstream portion of the protrusion-shaped exhaust entrance being externally fitted to an outer circumferential surface of the communication pipe;wherein an upstream end of the protrusion-shaped exhaust entrance is located downstream of an upstream end of the communication pipe, and the upstream end of the protrusion-shaped exhaust entrance and the upstream end of the communication pipe being arranged in a stepwise manner on the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe; andthe exhaust pipe and the communication pipe are integrally joined to a peripheral portion of the protrusion-shaped exhaust entrance by a common welding bead located outside of the muffler body.
