  • Patent number: 11525426
    Abstract: An air cleaner includes a case having an internal space, a filter element capable of partitioning the internal space into a first space and a second space, an intake port that introduces an air into the first space therethrough, an exhaust port that discharges an air from the second space, and at least one baffle part projecting toward the filter element from an inner surface of the case. The baffle part diffuses the air introduced into the first space and introduces the air to the filter element. The baffle part includes a widened baffle part. The widened baffle part includes a guide section extending along an extending surface of the filter element and a widened section larger in width than the guide section.

  • Patent number: 11326565
    Abstract: A rectification structural body includes an inlet port into which air from an air cleaner flows, an outlet port from which air flows out toward an airflow sensor, and a chamber provided between the inlet port and the outlet port. The inlet port and the outlet port are provided in such directions and at such positions that an air flow is bent in the chamber. The chamber includes two cases of a first case and a second case, the chamber being divided into the two cases.

  • Patent number: 11008986
    Abstract: A rectification structural body includes a pipe line configured such that air flows from an air cleaner to an airflow sensor. The pipe line has a portion bent in an arc shape. In the pipe line, an air guide plate dividing an internal space of the pipe line into an inner portion and an outer portion of the arc is provided substantially parallel with the center line of the pipe line. The air guide plate includes two ribs. The two ribs are each in an arc shape. The two ribs stand, inside the pipe line, facing each other to extend toward each other. End edges of the two ribs are separated from each other in a rib standing direction by 0.5 to 5 mm at least on an airflow sensor side of the pipe line.

  • Publication number: 20170299219
    Abstract: An air delivery system includes a drain valve. The drain valve includes a flexible valve body, and a base portion. The valve body includes a valve main portion having a substantially disk-like and conical surface-like shape. The base portion includes a drain hole, and a ring-like region on a surface of the base portion. The ring-like region has a diameter which is smaller than a diameter of the valve main portion, and surrounds the drain hole. The valve body is fitted to the base portion such that the valve main portion covers the drain hole. When the drain valve is closed, the base portion abuts against the valve main portion at the ring-like region, and a peripheral portion, of the valve main portion, which is located in the outer periphery portion than the ring-like region, is spaced apart from the surface of the base portion.
