The casing 1 comprises an upper casing 11 and a lower casing 12 which are covered with each other, and a crankshaft 6 is provided in the casing 1. An air inlet 111 is provided at the top of the upper casing 11, and a mounting boss 112 is provided on the circumference of the air inlet 111. An end cover 13 is provided at the end of the casing 1, and the end cover 13 is fixed to both the upper casing 11 and the lower casing 12. The reed valve seat 2 is mounted on the mounting boss 112, and a reed valve 3 is provided in the reed valve seat 2. The intake pipe 4 is mounted on the reed valve seat 2, and the cylinder block 5 is provided on both sides of the casing 1.
[0035] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Threaded holes 141 and weight-reducing grooves 142 are provided on both end surfaces of the upper casing 11, and threaded holes 141 and weight-reducing grooves 142 are provided on both end surfaces of the lower casing 12. An upper end cover groove 114 is provided at the end of the upper casing 11, and a lower end cover groove 121 is provided at the end of the lower casing 12. When the upper and lower casings 11, 12 are assembled, the upper and lower end cover grooves 114, 121 form a circular end cover groove. An annular boss 131 is provided on one side of the end cover 13 for insertion into the end cover groove. Through holes 132 and weight-reducing openings 133 are provided on the end cover 13, corresponding to the threaded holes 141 and weight-reducing grooves 142 on the end surfaces of the upper and lower casings 11, 12. Through holes 132 and weight-reducing openings 133 extend through the annular boss 131. Mounting ears 134 are provided on both radial sides of the end cover 13 for mounting sensors to monitor the engine's operating status in real time.
[0036] Cylinder mounting platforms 143 for fixing the cylinder block 5 are also provided on both sides of the upper casing 11 and the lower casing 12. Reinforcing ribs 113 are provided between the mounting boss 112 and the cylinder mounting platform 143 of the upper casing 11. Four first mounting holes 115 are arranged in a rectangular shape on the mounting boss 112.
[0037] See also Figure 4 The reed valve seat 2 includes a seat body 21 and a mounting flange 22 at the bottom of the seat body 21. The mounting flange 22 has a second mounting hole 23 corresponding to the first mounting hole 115. Bolts pass through the first mounting hole 115 and the second mounting hole 23 to fix the reed valve seat 2 to the upper casing 11.
[0038] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The reed valve 3 includes a frame 31, a reed 32, and a stopper plate 33. The frame 31 includes a connector 311 and an air intake bracket 312 secured below the connector 311. The connector 311 includes a connecting flange 3111 secured to the top of the base 21 and a connecting bracket 3112 extending downward from the connecting flange 3111. The connecting bracket 3112 includes opposing inverted triangular sidewalls 31121 and mounting walls 31122 located between the sidewalls 31121 and extending along the two oblique edges of the sidewalls.
[0039] The air intake frame 312 includes a first air intake plate 3121 and a second air intake plate 3122 of identical structure. The first and second air intake plates 3121 and 3122 are connected on one side and open on the other, forming a V-shaped arrangement. When the air intake frame 312 is secured beneath the connector 311, the first and second air intake plates 3121 and 3122 are positioned flush against the oblique edges of the sidewall 31121. Multiple air vents 3123 are defined on the first and second air intake plates 3121 and 3122.

A stopper plate 33 is mounted on the outside of the reed 32 and includes a mounting portion 331 for fixing to the mounting wall 31122, and a downwardly curved stopper portion 332. The stopper portion 332 is positioned to correspond to the baffle portion 322. When the intake volume and velocity of the air in the intake pipe 4 are excessive, causing the airflow to push the reed 32 downward, the stopper portion supports the bending of the reed 32, preventing it from bending too much, which would result in excessive intake and affect engine power.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments described above without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of the present invention that fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
