Abstract
An air cleaner includes an air cleaner case, an element disposed in the air cleaner case, and an intake port disposed in the air cleaner case. With respect to an imaginary plane extending in opposite first and second directions, opposite third and fourth directions, and opposite fifth and sixth directions that are perpendicular to each other, the air cleaner case includes a first half located at a side of the fifth direction and a second half located at a side of the sixth direction, with respect to an imaginary plane in which the first to fourth directions extend. The intake port is formed in the first half of the air cleaner case. The air cleaner case includes a closed wall at a position substantially symmetric to a position of the intake port with respect to the imaginary plane.
Claims18
An air cleaner comprising:
- an air cleaner case;
- an element disposed in the air cleaner case and partitioning an inside of the air cleaner case into a clean side and a dirty side;
- and
- an intake port disposed in the air cleaner case and connecting an outside of the air cleaner case to the dirty side, wherein
- with respect to
- a first direction and a second direction that are opposite to each other,
- a third direction and a fourth direction that are opposite to each other and are perpendicular to the first direction, and
- a fifth direction and a sixth direction that are opposite to each other, and are perpendicular to the first direction and the third direction,
- the first to fourth directions being in an imaginary plane,
- the air cleaner case includes a first half located at one side of the imaginary plane in the fifth direction and a second half located at the other side of the imaginary plane in the sixth direction,
- the element includes
- a first element side wall extending in the first direction and the fifth direction, and
- a second element side wall extending from the first element side wall in the first direction and the sixth direction,
- the air cleaner case includes
- a first case inner surface extending in the first direction and the fifth direction and facing the first element side wall, and
- a second case inner surface extending from the first case inner surface in the first direction and the sixth direction and facing the second element side wall,
- the intake port is disposed in the first half of the air cleaner case, located between the first element side wall and the first case inner surface, and open to the outside of the air cleaner case, and
- the air cleaner case further includes a closed wall at a position substantially reflectionally symmetric to a position of the intake port with respect to the imaginary plane.
