Specific embodiments

[0029] The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 shown, an air - air flame - arrester intake system includes an air intake cross pipe 1 and an air intake flame arrester 2 connected in sequence. The air intake of the air intake cross pipe 1 is used to connect with an air intake main pipe (not shown in the figure), the air outlet of the air intake cross pipe 1 is butt - connected with the air intake of the air intake flame arrester 2, and the air outlet of the air intake flame arrester 2 is used to connect with an inter - cooler (not shown in the figure); the air intake flame arrester 2 includes a flame arrester fence 21 and its external housing 22, and the air outlet of the air intake flame arrester 2 is arranged at a corner part of the top of the housing 22. Installing an air intake flame arrester on the passing air intake path can prevent the flame that may return in the cylinder from directly leading to the atmosphere. The flame will go out when passing through the air intake flame arrester, thereby avoiding igniting the flammable gas in the working environment. Installing an air intake flame arrester can improve the explosion - proof performance of the engine and optimize the performance of the engine.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 6 - 9As shown, the air inlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2 is arranged on the long side surface of the housing 22. The air inlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2 is a long rectangular shape, and a rectangular flange 3 connected to the intake cross pipe 1 is provided around the air inlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2. Among them, the other side of the housing opposite to the rectangular flange is a detachable side plate. With this structure, it is more convenient to disassemble the fire arrester grid, clean it and then install it to achieve recycling.

[0032] In addition, a connecting plate 4 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the housing 22 for fixing the intake fire arrester grid 2 on the engine. With this structure, it is convenient to install the intake fire arrester grid.

[0033] As a preferred structure, as Figures 2 - 5 shown, the intake cross pipe 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and two intake channels 12. The mounting plate 11 is a long rectangular plate, and the edge of the mounting plate 11 can be connected to the rectangular flange 3 around the air inlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2; the two intake channels 12 are symmetrically arranged and are L-shaped channels. The air inlets of the two intake channels 12 are respectively arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 11, and the outlet ends of the two intake channels 12 converge into a rectangular air outlet. Among them, a circle of connecting blind holes is provided around the mounting plate 11, and the connecting blind holes are in threaded cooperation with fastening bolts (not shown in the figure) for connecting and fixing the mounting plate 11 to the rectangular flange 3; connecting holes 5 cooperating with the fastening bolts are provided around the rectangular flange 3. By adopting the L-shaped intake channel, the air flow entering direction can be changed, and at the same time, the path of the air flow is extended, the intake resistance is reduced, and the performance of the engine is optimized.

[0034] To further optimize the above solution, as Figure 2 shown, concave inclined surfaces 13 are symmetrically provided on the outer sides of the adjacent long side parts of the two intake channels 12. With the help of the inclined surfaces, the air flow on both sides can be guided, so that the air flow on both sides crosses and mixes at the air outlet, and after fully contacting the intake fire arrester grid, uniform air intake is realized.

[0035] During specific production, the air inlet size of the intake channel 12 is larger than its air outlet size. At the same time, the air inlets of the intake channels 12 and the air outlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2 are all rectangular, and connecting flanges 6 are provided around the air inlets of the intake channels 12 and the air outlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2. A circle of connecting blind holes 7 is provided on the outer end surface of the connecting flange 6 of the air outlet of the intake fire arrester grid 2, which is convenient to connect and fix the intake fire arrester grid through bolts.

[0036] Furthermore, the surface roughness of the intake end and the outlet end of the intake cross pipe 1 and the intake end of the intake fire arrester grid 2 is all 3.2. With this structure, it is convenient to install gaskets at the intake end and the outlet end, and the sealing performance of the intake system can be guaranteed.

[0037] In summary, the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, small size and good explosion-proof performance, optimizes the structure and performance of the engine. By integrating the flame arrester grid in the housing, connecting the housing to the outlet end of the intake cross pipe and matching their sizes, the overall structure is made more compact. By installing the intake flame arrester, the flame in the engine cylinder can be prevented from returning to the intake passage and igniting the external combustible gas, improving the explosion-proof performance.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
