[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an air filter housing according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a lower housing 1, an air outlet pipe 11 integrally formed on the lower housing 1, an upper housing 2 covering the lower housing 1, and an air inlet pipe 21 integrally formed on the upper housing 2. The air filter is installed inside the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, and the air outlet pipe 11 is connected to the air intake system of the vehicle engine. This is prior art and will not be described in detail further.

[0029] To facilitate the disassembly of the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, the air filter housing also includes a locking assembly, which comprises multiple sliders 31 and fixing posts 37. The sliders 31 are slidably connected to the lower housing 1, and the fixing posts 37 are welded to the upper housing 2. Each fixing post 37 has a second through groove 371 that matches the slider 31. When the upper housing 2 is placed on top of the lower housing 1, the sliders 31 are slid towards the fixing posts 37. When the sliders 31 are inserted into the second through groove 371, the upper housing 2 is secured to the lower housing 1.

[0030] When replacing the air filter, slide the slider 31 so that it slides out of the second through groove 371. At this time, the upper housing 2 on the lower housing 1 can be removed, which makes it easier to replace and fix the air filter.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, a first fixing block 3, matching the slider 31, is welded onto the lower housing 1. A first sliding groove 302 is formed on the first fixing block 3, and the slider 31 is slidably connected within the first sliding groove 302. A first through groove 301, matching the fixing post 37, is formed on the first fixing block 3, and the fixing post 37 passes through the first through groove 301. When the upper housing 2 is closed onto the lower housing 1, the second through groove 371 is located within the first sliding groove 302. A second fixing block 32 is integrally formed on the slider 31. A second sliding groove 303, matching the second fixing block 32, is formed on the first fixing block 3, and the second fixing block 32 is slidably connected within the second sliding groove 303.

[0032] When the air filter needs to be replaced, pull the second fixing block 32 away from the fixing post 37. The slider 31 can then slide out of the second through groove 371. When multiple sliders 31 have slid out of the second through groove 371, lift the upper housing 2 upwards. When the fixing post 37 disengages from the first through groove 301, the upper housing 2 on the lower housing 1 can be removed. Replacing a new air filter is the reverse process; no screws need to be tightened, saving time and effort and requiring no special tools.

[0033] In order to lock the slider 31 sliding in the first slide groove 302, the locking assembly also includes a sleeve 33. The sleeve 33 is integrally formed on the second fixed block 32. A sliding post 35 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 33. A spring 34 is welded to one end of the sliding post 35 inside the sleeve 33. The spring 34 is welded to the second fixed block 32 away from the sliding post 35. A fixing plate 36 is welded to the lower housing 1. A through hole 361 matching the sliding post 35 is opened on the fixing plate 36.

[0034] Specifically, the end of the sliding post 35 away from the spring 34 is slidably connected to the lower plate of the fixed plate 36. The second fixed block 32 slides towards the fixed post 37. When the sliding post 35 and the through hole 361 coincide, the spring 34 elastically extends and pushes the sliding post 35 into the through hole 361. This locks the slider 31 in the first groove 302, enhancing the fixing effect of the slider 31 on the fixed post 37.

[0035] When the air filter needs to be replaced, pinch the sliding post 35 with your hand and press it down to disengage the sliding post 35 from the through hole 361. Then you can pull the sliding post 35 away from the fixed post 37, and the slider 31 will disengage from the second through groove 371.

[0036] Furthermore, a ball bearing 351 is rolledly connected to the side of the sliding column 35 away from the spring 34. The ball bearing 351 transforms the sliding friction between the sliding column 35 and the fixed plate 36 into rolling friction, making it easier to slide the sliding column 35.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a dustproof ring 22 is bonded to the upper housing 2, a first wedge-shaped surface 311 is provided on the slider 31, and a second wedge-shaped surface 3711 matching the first wedge-shaped surface 311 is provided on the bottom wall of the second through groove 371.

[0038] Specifically, the dustproof ring 22 is a rubber ring with a certain elasticity. During the process of the slider 31 being inserted into the second through groove 371, the first wedge surface 311 and the second wedge surface 3711 cooperate to press down the fixing post 37. At this time, the fixing post 37 drives the upper housing 2 to squeeze the dustproof ring 22 downward, thereby improving the sealing between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the upper housing 2 has an integrally formed insert plate 23, and the lower housing 1 has a slot 12 that matches the insert plate 23. When the upper housing 2 is closed on the lower housing 1, the insert plate 23 is inserted into the slot 12. Even if some dust passes through the dustproof ring 22, it will be blocked by the insert plate 23, further ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the vehicle engine.

[0040] It should be noted that the depth of the slot 12 is greater than the height of the insert plate 23. That is to say, when the upper housing 2 is covered on the lower housing 1, there is a certain distance between the insert plate 23 and the bottom wall of the slot 12, so that the dustproof ring 22 can be compressed downward by the slider 31 inserted into the second through slot 371.

[0041] When using, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, pinch the sliding post 35 and press it down to disengage the sliding post 35 from the through hole 361. Then pull the sliding post 35 away from the fixed post 37 to disengage the slider 31 from the second through groove 371. At this time, the upper housing 2 on the lower housing 1 can be removed, so that the air filter in the lower housing 1 can be replaced.

[0042] After replacement, the upper housing 2 is placed on the lower housing 1, the fixing post 37 passes through the first through groove 301, and then the second fixing block 32 is pushed in the direction of the fixing post 37. When the sliding post 35 and the through hole 361 are aligned, the spring 34 elastically extends and pushes the sliding post 35 into the through hole 361. At this time, the slider 31 also passes through the second through groove 371, thus fixing the upper housing 2.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the air filter housing of this utility model can save time in replacing air filters, reduce the labor intensity of users, and eliminate the need for disassembly tools. Furthermore, since it does not rely on threaded connections, it avoids the problem of unstable connection caused by stripped threads.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
