Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dust removal in air intake systems, and in particular to a negative pressure dust removal function anti-backflush structure for air intake systems and a vehicle thereof. Background Technology

[0002] The air intake system is an indispensable system in a tractor, providing clean air to the engine during starting, various movements, and operations. The dry air filter in the tractor's air intake system centrifugally ejects dust from the air, using the fan's airflow to apply negative pressure to the negative pressure dust removal pipe in the intake system, thus expelling the dust. With the continuous upgrading of tractor functions and increasing market demands, the configuration of reversing fans in tractor engines is gradually increasing. However, when the reversing fan's reverse-blowing function is used, the negative pressure in the negative pressure dust removal pipe of the air intake system becomes positive pressure during fan reverse-blowing, blowing the centrifuged dust from the air filter back into the air filter. This affects the air filter's function and the filter element's maintenance cycle. Therefore, the anti-backflush structure for the negative pressure dust removal function of the tractor's air intake system has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-backflush structure and vehicle for the negative pressure dust removal function of the intake system. The structure is simple, and by setting a one-way valve, it prevents dust in the negative pressure dust removal box from entering the intake system and affecting the engine performance.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a backflush prevention structure for negative pressure dust removal function in an air intake system, including a dust removal pipe connected to the air intake system and a one-way valve installed on the dust removal pipe. One end of the dust removal pipe is installed on the air filter of the air intake system, and the other end is connected to a negative pressure dust removal box through the one-way valve. The negative pressure dust removal box is installed on a radiator, and negative pressure is provided to the negative pressure dust removal box and the dust removal pipe through the radiator.

[0006] The airflow passing through the one-way valve can only flow from the air filter direction to the negative pressure dust collection box.

[0007] Optionally, the intake system also includes an intake pipe, with one end of the air filter connected to the intake pipe and the other end connected to the engine.

[0008] Optionally, the dust removal pipe is installed on the side of the air filter and communicates with the interior of the air filter.

[0009] Optionally, the dust removal pipe is mounted on the air filter via a 90-degree adapter.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment provides a backflush prevention structure for negative pressure dust removal function in an air intake system, including a dust removal pipe 4 connected to the upper part of the air intake system and a one-way valve 5 installed on the dust removal pipe 4. One end of the dust removal pipe 4 is installed on the air filter 1 of the air intake system, and the other end is connected to a negative pressure dust removal box 7 through the one-way valve 5. The negative pressure dust removal box 7 is installed on a radiator, and negative pressure is provided to the negative pressure dust removal box 7 and the dust removal pipe 4 through the radiator.

[0023] The airflow passing through the one-way valve 5 can only flow from the air filter 1 to the negative pressure dust collector 7, and cannot flow in the opposite direction to prevent dust in the negative pressure dust collector 7 from entering the air filter 1 in reverse.

[0024] The negative pressure dust collection box 7 is located on the negative pressure side when the radiator is working. The negative pressure passes through the negative pressure dust collection box 7, then through the dust collection pipe 4, and acts on the inside of the air filter 1. The negative pressure draws out the dust filtered by the air filter 1 into the negative pressure dust collection box 7.

[0025] The radiator can also work in reverse to remove debris. When the radiator works in reverse, it provides positive pressure airflow into the negative pressure dust collector 7. Due to the action of the one-way valve 5, the airflow cannot pass through the one-way valve 5, thereby preventing dust in the negative pressure dust collector 7 from entering the air filter 1 in reverse when the radiator works in reverse, and preventing dust from entering the engine in reverse and affecting its performance.

[0026] The negative pressure dust removal function of the intake system provided in this embodiment has a simple anti-backflush structure, occupies little space, cleans the air filter 1, improves the service life of the air filter 1, reduces the maintenance time and cost of the filter and radiator, and ensures smooth engine intake.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] This embodiment provides a negative pressure dust removal and anti-backflush structure for an air intake system. The air intake system also includes an intake pipe 2. One end of an air filter 1 is connected to the intake pipe 2, and the other end is connected to the engine. Air enters the air filter 1 from the intake pipe 2 for cleaning, and the cleaned air is then used in the engine. A dust removal pipe 4 is installed on the side of the air filter 1, and the dust removal pipe 4 communicates with the interior of the air filter 1. During the cleaning process of the air filter 1, negative pressure from the other end of the dust removal pipe 4 acts on the air filter 1, drawing the dust separated from the air inside the air filter 1 into the negative pressure dust removal box 7.

[0029] The radiator is equipped with a reversing fan 8, which blows air onto the engine's outer surface for cooling. A negative pressure dust collector 7 is located on the negative pressure side of the reversing fan 8. When the reversing fan 8 blows air towards the engine, the negative pressure generated on the negative pressure side acts on the air filter 1 through the dust collection pipe 4, drawing dust from inside the air filter 1 into the negative pressure dust collector 7. While the reversing fan 8 is cooling the engine, weeds and dust outside the radiator will adhere to it. Excessive accumulation can clog the radiator's vents, increasing the resistance of the reversing fan 8. By reversing the operation of the reversing fan 8, weeds and dust on the radiator are removed. During this reversal, the negative pressure dust collector 7 is located on the positive pressure side of the reversing fan 8. A one-way valve 5 prevents dust from entering the air filter 1 due to the positive pressure airflow within the negative pressure dust collector 7.

[0030] The dust collection pipe 4 is installed on the side of the air filter 1 near the engine connection via a 90-degree deflector joint, and is arranged towards the intake pipe 2. The one-way valve 5 is connected to the negative pressure dust collection box 7 via a hose 6. The hose 6 has a thick wall and supports the one-way valve 5 (5mm thick EPDM hose), thus fixing and supporting the one-way valve 5 and ensuring the operation of the negative pressure dust collection function. The dust collection pipe 4, one-way valve 5, hose 6, and negative pressure dust collection box 7 are arranged closely together to reduce their space occupation.

[0031] During installation, install the air intake system, and then install a 90-degree adapter 3 at one end of the dust removal pipe 4, while ensuring the rotation angle is properly controlled to guarantee smooth flow of the 90-degree adapter, dust removal pipe 4, one-way valve 5, hose 6, and negative pressure dust removal box 7. Ensure the dust removal pipe 4 is installed smoothly. When installing the one-way valve 5, confirm its orientation and ensure its central axis is parallel to the ground to enable the entire negative pressure dust removal system to prevent backflow of dust. Connect the hose 6 to the negative pressure dust removal box 7 fixed to the radiator, ensuring the distance between the negative pressure dust removal box 7 and the reversing fan 8 to guarantee the negative pressure suction of the system.

[0032] This embodiment provides a negative pressure dust removal function with an anti-backflush structure. It can ensure that under normal vehicle operating conditions, the negative pressure dust removal system can draw out the dust from the air filter 1 by the negative pressure brought by the reversing fan 8. At the same time, when the reversing fan 8 is reversing, the angle is constrained by the one-way valve 5. At this time, the negative pressure dust removal pipe 4 is filled with positive pressure airflow. The one-way valve 5 will close the entire pipe under the positive pressure airflow to prevent dust in the air from being blown back into the air filter 1, thereby affecting the intake function of the intake system. The negative pressure dust removal system, composed of a 90-degree adapter 3, a negative pressure dust removal pipe 4, a one-way valve 5, a hose 6, and a negative pressure dust removal box 7, has a harmonious and reasonable design, occupies little space, and has a stable fixing method. This reduces the maintenance time of the reversing fan 8 and the air filter 1, ensures smooth engine intake, and prevents dust from entering the engine through the intake system. The anti-backflush structure of the negative pressure dust removal system uses several simple components connected together, ensuring functional stability without adding excessive costs. The fixing and layout of this structure is simple and convenient, and can be used in conjunction with other vehicle models. This negative pressure dust removal anti-backflush function of the intake system can meet the usage conditions of different operating conditions, and is convenient and efficient.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
