[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, an air intake and exhaust system includes a pre-filter 1, a dust exhaust ejection device 2, a main air filter 3, an air intake pipeline 4, an engine supercharger 5, an exhaust pipeline 6, a mounting plate 7, and a muffler 8. The pre-filter 1 is two centrifugal pre-filters, and a dust exhaust port is left on the side thereof to connect with the dust exhaust ejection device 2. Most of the air after passing through the pre-filter 1 enters the main air filter 3, and the main air filter 3 is connected to the engine supercharger 5 through the air intake pipeline 4, and the engine supercharger 5 is connected to the muffler 8 through the exhaust pipeline 6; the two pre-filters 1, the dust exhaust ejection device 2, and the muffler 8 are all fixed on the same mounting plate 7 by bolt connection.

[0037] For further solutions, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, there is a corrugated section in the middle of the exhaust pipe 6, which has a certain amount of expansion and contraction, can withstand vibration and deformation within a certain range, and can avoid cracking of the exhaust pipe to a limited extent, thereby extending its service life.

[0038] The above-mentioned dust exhaust and ejection device is further described below.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the dust exhaust ejection device 2 discharges the dirty air with dust generated by the centrifugal action of the two pre-filters 1 from the dust exhaust port of the pre-filter 1 through the three-way steel pipe 2-3, the one-way valve 2-6, the steel pipe 2-14, and the ejection pipe 2-10; the three-way steel pipe 2-3 is connected and fastened with the left and right pre-filters 1 through the left special-shaped rubber hose 2-1, the right special-shaped rubber hose 2-18, the left clamp 2-2, and the right clamp 2-19, and the outlet of the three-way steel pipe 2-3 is connected with the one-way valve 2-6 through the straight rubber hose 2-7 and the clamp 2-17; the one-way valve is connected with the steel pipe 2-14 through the straight rubber hose 2-7 and the clamp 2-17; the steel pipe 2-14 is connected with the ejection pipe 2-10 through the rubber hose V2-15 and the clamp V2-16;

[0040] For further solutions, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the three-way steel pipe 2-3 is fixed on the mounting plate 7 by the left U-shaped clamp 2-4, the left steel pipe bracket 2-5, the right U-shaped clamp 2-21, and the right steel pipe bracket 2-20; the steel pipe 2-14 is fixed on the mounting plate 7 by the U-shaped clamp I2-8, the steel pipe bracket I2-9, the U-shaped clamp II2-13, and the steel pipe bracket II2-12.

[0041] The above-mentioned ejector tube is further described below.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the ejector tube 2-10 is composed of a tail pipe 10-1, an outer cover 10-2, a diffusion chamber 10-3, a mixing chamber 10-4, an intake chamber 10-5, a reinforcing rib 10-6, an air pipe 10-7, and a mounting tube 10-8.

[0043] For further solutions, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the mounting tube 10-8 of the ejector 2-10 has a plurality of long holes at the bottom, which is inserted into the outer diameter of the outlet pipe of the muffler 8 and is locked by the clamp 2-11, thus having good sealing performance.

[0044] For further solutions, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the tail pipe 10 - 1 and the outer cover 10 - 2 form an angle of 130°, and the top air outlet port of the tail pipe 10 - 1 is a bevel port, which ensures smooth exhaust and has good rain protection.

[0045] For further solutions, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, reinforcing ribs 10-6 are welded between the outer cover 10-2 and the air pipe 10-7.

[0047] When the engine is running normally, the high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas discharged by the engine enters the suction chamber 10-5 of the ejector tube 2-10. Due to its large inlet and small outlet, the exhaust gas is depressurized and accelerated in the suction chamber 10-5, forming a certain negative pressure in the mixing chamber 10-4 and the suction chamber 10-5. The dirty air is sucked into the mixing chamber 10-4 through the air pipe 10-7 under the shearing effect of the exhaust gas, and forms a mixed gas with the exhaust gas. The diffusion chamber 10-3 has a small inlet and a large outlet. The mixed gas is decelerated and pressurized in the chamber, forming a certain back pressure, and is discharged through the tail pipe 10-1.

[0048] The height L of the trachea 10-7 inserted into the suction chamber 10-5 is ≤ 0.5*D1 (D1 refers to the outer diameter of the trachea 10-7), ensuring that the dirty air is smoothly ejected within the negative pressure range.

[0049] The utility model also provides a loader, which is equipped with the above-mentioned air intake and exhaust system.

[0050] In summary, the dust exhaust ejection device in the utility model can discharge dirty air with dust from the dust exhaust port of the pre-filter through the three-way steel pipe, the one-way valve, and the steel pipe, and then through the ejection pipe; by optimizing the parameters such as the inlet and outlet diameters of the suction chamber and the diffusion chamber of the ejection pipe, the suction chamber, the mixing chamber, the diffusion chamber length, and the height of the air pipe into the mixing chamber, the optimal ejection effect is achieved, the maintenance cycle of the air filter element is extended, the power of the engine is improved, and the later use cost of the loader is reduced.
