Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engine air intake treatment, in particular to a power system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The engine is a kind of energy supply device that can convert other energy into mechanical energy, and is widely used in many industries. Because the engine needs to suck a large amount of air during operation, if the air is not filtered, the dust suspended in the air will be sucked into the cylinder, which will accelerate the wear of the piston group and the cylinder. And the filter is a kind of filtering device that can filter dust and impurities in the air, which is an important part of engine air intake.

[0003] During the use of the air filter, the air enters the filter element from the air inlet, and the dust and impurities in the air are filtered out by the filter element. The filtered air is discharged through the air outlet, completing the filtration of the air. Therefore, after long-term use, a large amount of dust and impurities will be deposited in the filter element in the air, causing the filter element to be blocked, seriously affecting the filtering efficiency. Moreover, part of the dust will also accumulate in the inner cavity of the air filter, also affecting the normal use of the air filter. Therefore, the filter element and the inner cavity need to be cleaned and maintained in time during use. However, there is a problem of low cleaning efficiency when cleaning the air filter. Moreover, for some engines used in heavy dust environment, the cleaning and maintenance frequency of the air filter will be more frequent, which brings many inconveniences to the use and maintenance of the user.

Moreover, since the dust outlet of the air filter is unidirectionally communicated with the cover part, part of the air in the air filter flows out from the dust outlet and enters the engine during the flow process, and the dust in the air filter is also discharged together with the part of the air, thereby realizing self-cleaning of the air filter, reducing the maintenance frequency of the air filter and prolonging the maintenance period.

[0007] Further, the air filter comprises a shell and a filter element, the shell is provided with an inner cavity, the filter element is installed in the inner cavity, and the inner cavity is communicated with the air outlet and the air inlet; the air outlet is located at the outer end of the shell, the air inlet is located at the inner end of the shell, a spiral flow channel is arranged on the inner wall of the shell from inside to outside, the air inlet is arranged opposite the inlet of the spiral flow channel, and the air outlet is arranged opposite the outlet of the spiral flow channel.

[0008] Further, the shell is provided with a mounting port for inserting the air filter, and the mounting port is detachably connected with a maintenance cover. Beneficial effects: since the existing air filter is designed to have an entire surface of the shell as a mounting surface when designed, the entire mounting surface needs to be disassembled during operation, and then the air filter is installed in the shell, and then the mounting surface is reinstalled, which leads to inconvenient operation.
