Circular air filter and air cleaner assembly for vehicle having the air filter

Abstract

A circular air filter for vehicle according to the present invention is mounted in an air cleaner body disposed between an air inlet configured to suction air from an exterior and an air duct configured to provide filtered air to an engine, and includes: a frame formed in a cylinder shape that forms a penetration aperture through which air passes along a circumference thereof; an engaging portion formed at a first end of the frame and coupled to a first side of the air cleaner body; and a non-woven fabric disposed external to the frame and coupled to the engaging portion for filtering foreign materials. An air cleaner assembly for a vehicle according to the present invention comprises: an air filter; an air cleaner body having the air filter mounted thereto and an air inlet configured to suction air from an exterior coupled to an air duct configured to discharge filtered air to an engine; and an air cleaner cover configured to open or close an upper surface of the air cleaner body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air filter for filtering air flowing into an engine of a vehicle, and more particularly, to a cylindrical air filter for a vehicle that can be easily replaced in a small space and has improved sealing performance Filters and vehicle air cleaner assemblies including them. Background technique [0002] The air flowing into the engine of the vehicle passes through an air cleaner provided with an air filter, and flows into the engine in a state where foreign substances are removed. [0003] For example, if figure 1 As shown, when the air flowing into the intake port 1 passes through the air filter 110 installed inside the air cleaner body 2, foreign matter is removed, and the air from which the foreign matter has been removed flows into the engine. [0004] The above-mentioned air filter 110 such as Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, a nonwoven fabric 112 is provided inside a quadrangular filter holder 111 , and an ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the engine compartment space of a small car is narrow, and the air intake 1, the air cleaner body 2, etc. need to be located above the engine, and a large space is required for installing the quadrangular air filter 110, so there are problems in the layout configuration. difficulty

[0008] In addition, for sealing, it is necessary to position the protruding portion of the sealing member 113 between the air cleaner main body 2 and the air cleaner cover 3 , but in the quadrangular air cleaner 110 , there are difficulties in positioning the air cleaner 113 . The problem of positioning the protruding portion of the sealing member 113 between the filter body 2 and the air cleaner cover 3
