Abstract
This air cleaner device is capable of preventing liquid, in the air that has been sucked in, from escaping to the downstream side of a filter element. The air cleaner device is provided in an intake passage of an internal combustion engine, and comprises: the filter element for removing foreign matter contained in the air that has been sucked into the intake passage; and a collision/separation part which is disposed on a surface of the filter element such that the liquid is separated from the air as a result of the air colliding with the collision/separation part, on the upstream side of the filter element in the suction direction of the air.
