[0023] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, an air intake duct for an unmanned vehicle air-cooled diesel engine includes an air intake duct box body 1 with openings at both left and right ends. The left-end opening of the air intake duct box body 1 serves as an air inlet and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 2 by bolts. The right-end opening of the air intake duct box body 1 serves as an air outlet and is connected to the air inlet 4 of the air-cooled diesel engine through a connecting flange 3.
[0025] As Figure 3 shown, the air intake duct box body 1 is welded by a flange plate 5 on the left side, a top plate 6, an arc plate 7 at the bottom, a front side plate, a rear side plate, and a right side plate. The right side plate is welded by a transition plate 8 above and a connecting plate 9 below. The first opening on the flange plate 5 serves as the air inlet, and the second opening on the connecting plate 9 serves as the air outlet.
[0026] The flange plate 5, the top plate 6, the arc plate 7, the front side plate, the rear side plate, the transition plate 8, and the connecting plate 9 are all made of 2-mm rust-proof aluminum plates. The air intake duct box body 1 is formed by bending and welding 7 pieces of 2-mm thick rust-proof aluminum plates, with a weight of only 1.65 kg, and the cross-sectional area of the air inlet is 30600 mm 2 , meeting the requirement of 27465 mm 2 of the air-cooled diesel engine.
[0027] The radian of the arc plate 7 is designed to avoid the transmission shaft vehicle body 2 skeleton, and the maximum arc surface distance between the arc plate 7 and the transmission shaft 10 is 20 mm. The entire air intake duct box body 1 has a circular arc transition, and the area of each transition section is larger than the air intake area of the air-cooled diesel engine. A dust discharge hole 16 with a diameter of 3 mm is provided at the bottom of the arc plate 7 for dust and debris to fall.
[0028] As Figure 4 shown, the connecting flange 3 is sewn by two aluminum plates 11 and a waterproof rain cloth 12 located between the two aluminum plates 11. One side of the connecting flange 3 faces the second opening on the connecting plate 9 and is bolted to the connecting plate 9, and the other side of the connecting flange 3 is connected to the flange at the air inlet 4 of the air-cooled diesel engine.
[0029] The entire connecting flange 3 is a flexible connection, which solves the error caused by spatial misalignment between the vehicle body 2 and the air-cooled diesel engine, and improves the convenience of disassembly, assembly, maintenance, and repair.
[0030] A first sealing gasket 13 is provided on the outer side of the flange plate 5, and a second sealing gasket 14 is provided at the flange connection between the other side of the connecting flange 3 and the air inlet of the air-cooled diesel engine 4. Both the first sealing gasket 13 and the second sealing gasket 14 are made of a 3-mm rubber plate. The rubber plate has high heat resistance. It is bonded to the flange surface with a sealant and will not age due to the high temperature in the power compartment. The rubber plate has a certain compression amount and can, together with the connecting flange 3, play a role in adjusting the axial installation amount, with good sealing effect.
[0031] During assembly, first remove the mesh plate of the air inlet 4 of the air-cooled diesel engine, bond the second sealing gasket 14 to the air inlet 4 of the air-cooled diesel engine with a sealant to prevent the air coming in from the air inlet duct from spreading into the power compartment. After bonding the second sealing gasket 14, hoist and fix the generator set; then bond the first sealing gasket 13 to the flange plate 5 of the air inlet duct box 1 in the same way, and install the air inlet duct box 1 and the connecting flange 3 together with 6 mounting bolts 15 and corresponding elastic washers and flat washers. Since the connecting flange 3 is made of a 2-mm waterproof tarpaulin 12 and the fabric has the function of a sealing gasket, no sealing gasket is designed on the installation surface of the box body. Place the air inlet duct box 1 into the power compartment and press it against the vehicle body 2 with 5 bolts and washers; after installing the air inlet duct box 1, fix the connecting flange 3 of the air inlet duct box 1 and the removed air inlet mesh plate to the flange of the air-cooled diesel engine.
