Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractors, and in particular to a reverse air intake system and a tractor. Background Technology
[0002] Tractors are becoming increasingly high-end, and people have higher requirements for tractor visibility. Power-related modules tend to be built-in, mainly including the engine intake system, exhaust system, and aftertreatment system. Currently, most tractor air filters are located inside the engine hood, fixed in front of the radiator, which facilitates air intake from the front of the hood and also allows for the addition of dust ejector devices to the air duct.
[0003] However, for high-end compact small-horsepower tractors operating in hilly and paddy fields, the low ground clearance and narrow interior space of the engine hood make it difficult to draw air from the front of the engine. Currently, some models place the air filter above the engine, with the air intake pipe extending towards the fan and fixed to the top of the radiator. However, this method requires extending the intake pipe, which is prone to collapsing, resulting in insufficient air intake and the easy intake of hot air. As the intake air temperature rises, the oxygen content in the air decreases, thereby reducing engine combustion efficiency and potentially causing insufficient engine power. Utility Model Content

[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the existing tractor air intake systems that draw air from the front and top of the engine, this utility model draws air from the rear of the engine, which can solve the problem of limited engine performance caused by the difficulty of air intake in high-end compact tractors; the front and rear ends of the fuel tank are connected to the air filter intake hose and the dust screen respectively, which is equivalent to integrating the air filter intake hose into the fuel tank, which can shorten the length of the air filter intake hose, solve the problem that the air filter cannot be placed in front due to insufficient space inside the engine hood, and at the same time meet the normal air intake requirements of the engine, reduce design and maintenance costs, and facilitate user use.
[0035] Preferred, such as Figure 1As shown, the front end and rear end of the air filter end cap housing 2 are the air outlet and air inlet respectively.
