[0040] See also Figures 1 to 7This embodiment provides an air scoop mounted on the end of an engine body 10. The engine further includes a first cylinder head 11 and a second cylinder head 12 disposed on the end of the engine body 10. An impeller 13 is also disposed on the end of the engine body 10.

[0041] The air scoop includes a mounting plate 20 and an annular enclosure assembly 30 .

[0042] The mounting plate 20 includes an impeller mounting area 21, a first cylinder head cooling area 22, and a second cylinder head cooling area 23. The impeller mounting area 21 is provided with a mounting hole 24. One side of the annular enclosure assembly 30 is connected to the outer edge of the mounting plate 20, while the other side of the annular enclosure assembly 30 corresponds to the end of the engine body 10. The impeller 13 is located within the annular enclosure assembly 30, and the impeller 13 corresponds to the mounting hole 24. The impeller 13 rotates to blow the cooling air in all directions, drawing cool air outward from the mounting hole 24. The impeller 13, the first cylinder head cooling area 22, and the enclosure assembly together form a first cylinder head cooling chamber 25; the open end of the first cylinder head cooling chamber 25 faces the first cylinder head 11. The impeller 13, the second cylinder head cooling area 23, and the enclosure assembly together form a second cylinder head cooling chamber 26; the open end of the second cylinder head cooling chamber 26 faces the second cylinder head 12.

[0043] In this embodiment, the impeller 13 rotates to draw cool air from the outside through the mounting hole 24 and continuously delivers it to the first cylinder head cooling chamber 25 and the second cylinder head cooling chamber 26. The cool air in the first cylinder head cooling chamber 25 and the second cylinder head cooling chamber 26 flows toward and cools the first cylinder head 11 and the second cylinder head 12, respectively, so that the first cylinder head 11 and the second cylinder head 12 operate within a suitable temperature range.

[0044] In one embodiment, the enclosure panel assembly includes a first enclosure panel 31 , a second enclosure panel 32 and a third enclosure panel 33 .

[0045] One side of the first panel 31 is connected to the outer edge of the mounting plate 20. The middle of the first panel 31 is close to the impeller 13, and the ends of the first panel 31 are gradually farther away from the impeller 13. One side of the second panel 32 is connected to the outer edge of the mounting plate 20, and one end of the second panel 32 is connected to the end of the first panel 31. One side of the third panel 33 is connected to the outer edge of the mounting plate 20, and one end of the third panel 33 is connected to the end of the first panel 31 away from the second panel 32.

[0046] One end of the third enclosing plate 33 away from the first enclosing plate 31 is connected to the end of the second enclosing plate 32 away from the first enclosing plate 31; the first enclosing plate 31, the second enclosing plate 32, the first cylinder head cooling area 22 and the impeller 13 together form a first cylinder head cooling cavity 25; the first enclosing plate 31, the third enclosing plate 33, the second cylinder head cooling area 23 and the impeller 13 together form a second cylinder head cooling cavity 26.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first enclosure 31 is generally V-shaped, with the middle portion of the first enclosure 31 close to the impeller 13, while the ends of the first enclosure 31 are farther away from the impeller 13. When the impeller 13 rotates, cooling air enters the enclosure assembly through the mounting hole 24. Since the space between the impeller 13 and the middle portion of the first enclosure 31 is small, the cooling air is primarily delivered to the first cylinder head cooling cavity 25 and the second cylinder head cooling cavity 26, thereby improving the cooling effect on the first and second cylinder heads 11 and 12.

[0048] In one embodiment, a side of the middle portion of the first enclosing plate 31 away from the mounting plate 20 is wrapped around the end portion of the machine body 10 ; a cooling gap 34 is formed between the middle portion of the first enclosing plate 31 and the end portion of the machine body 10 .

[0049] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the impeller 13 , cold air cools the end of the engine body 10 away from the first cylinder head 11 and the second cylinder head 12 through the cooling gap 34 in the middle of the first enclosure 31 .

[0050] In one embodiment, a mounting window 35 is defined on one end of the first enclosure 31, adjacent to the third enclosure 33, for mounting the oil cooler 14. The mounting window 35 communicates with the second cylinder head cooling chamber 26. Specifically, the oil cooler 14 can be constructed in accordance with existing techniques. A large number of cooling fins are disposed on the exterior of the oil cooler 14, which is connected to the engine via piping and mounted outside the mounting window 35.

[0051] In this embodiment, the oil cooler 14 is installed in the installation window 35. In addition to being blown directly to the second cylinder head 12, the cold air in the second cylinder head cooling chamber 26 can also flow out from the installation window 35 to cool the oil cooler 14, thereby maintaining the engine oil temperature within a suitable range.

[0052] In one embodiment, the end of the second enclosure 32 away from the first enclosure 31 extends closer to the impeller 13. The end of the third enclosure 33 away from the first enclosure 31 extends closer to the impeller 13 and is connected to the outer wall of the first enclosure 31. Specifically, the distance between the end of the second enclosure 32 away from the first enclosure 31 and the impeller 13 is relatively close.

[0053] In this embodiment, the end of the second enclosure 32 distal from the first enclosure 31 is closer to the impeller 13, thereby preventing cold air from circulating between the first and second cylinder head cooling chambers 25, 26. The cold air inputted by the impeller 13 into the first and second cylinder head cooling chambers 25, 26 is directed toward the first and second cylinder heads 11, 12, respectively. Furthermore, the end of the second enclosure 32 distal from the first enclosure 31 is closer to the impeller 13, and the third enclosure 33 is connected to this end. This reduces the volume of the first and second cylinder head cooling chambers 25, 26, minimizing the velocity loss of the cold air inputted by the impeller 13 within the first and second cooling chambers. This allows the cold air to quickly gather in the first and second cylinder head cooling chambers 25, 26 before being blown toward the first and second cylinder heads 11, 12, respectively.

[0054] In one embodiment, a middle portion of the second enclosure panel 32 is recessed inwardly, and a middle portion of the third enclosure panel 33 is recessed inwardly.

[0055] In this embodiment, the middle portions of the second enclosure 32 and the third enclosure 33 are both concave, thereby reducing the volume of the first cylinder head cooling cavity 25 and the second cylinder head cooling cavity 26, thereby reducing the flow rate loss of the cold air input by the impeller 13, and further allowing the cold air to have a higher flow rate when flowing to the first cylinder head 11 and the second cylinder head 12, thereby achieving a better cooling effect.

[0056] In one embodiment, the air guide cover further includes a volume reduction plate 36 . Both ends of the volume reduction plate 36 are connected to the inner wall of the first enclosure 31 . The volume reduction plate 36 is located in the first cylinder head cooling cavity 25 . The middle portion of the volume reduction plate 36 is close to the impeller 13 .

[0057] In this embodiment, adding the volume reduction plate 36 in the first cylinder head cooling cavity 25 can reduce the space through which the cold air flows in the first cylinder head cooling cavity 25 , thereby reducing the flow rate loss of the air in the first cylinder head cooling cavity 25 .

[0058] In one embodiment, the air scoop machine further includes a dust cover 40, which covers the outside of the mounting hole 24 and is detachably connected to the mounting plate 20. The dust cover 40 and the mounting plate 20 can be connected by bolts.

[0059] In this embodiment, the detachable connection between the dust cover 40 and the mounting plate 20 facilitates maintenance of the impeller 13 .

[0060] This embodiment provides an engine, comprising any one of the above-mentioned air scoops.

[0061] In the specification of the present invention, a large number of specific details are described. However, it is understood that the embodiments of the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures and techniques are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and description of the present invention.
