BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a new kind of air filter assembly with a charcoal canister.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98.

In the current market, generally charcoal canisters and air filters are independent, and connected with each other by air pipe. It is neither well-done nor reliable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is to solve the technology problem by a new kind of air filter assembly with charcoal canister.

The present invention solves the above problem by the technical solution as follows: a new kind of air filter assembly with charcoal canister, comprising air filter and charcoal canister. Said air filter and charcoal canister are clamped so as to be connected with each other.

The present invention has the advantages that the charcoal canister and filter are connected with each other with compact structure and overall appearance. The assembling is simplified, and time and costs are saved.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged schematic view of FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The following descriptions of the embodiments and their accompanying drawings of the present invention are intended to illustrate and not to limit this invention.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a new kind of air filter assembly with charcoal canister, comprising air filter 1 and charcoal canister 2. The air filter 1 and charcoal canister 2 are clamped so as to be connected with each other.

Furthermore, the ventilating nozzle 1.2 is disposed on said air filter 1, the air outlet is disposed on the charcoal canister 2, and the ventilating nozzle 1.2 and the air outlet are connected by clamping. In order to strengthen the tightness between the ventilation nozzle 1.2 and the air outlet, the seal ring 4 is disposed between the ventilation nozzle 1.2 and the air outlet.

Furthermore, the charcoal canister 2 comprises a charcoal cap 2.1, and a canister body 2.2. The canister body 2.2 comprises a filling room with an upper opening, and fuel-absorption substrate is filled in the filling room. The charcoal cap 2.1 covering the upper opening of the filling room is disposed above the canister body 2.2. The air outlet is disposed on the charcoal cap 2.1. The air inlet 2.3 is disposed on the bottom of the canister body 2.2, and the air inlet 2.3 is connected to the fuel tank by fuel pipe 3.

Furthermore, the fuel-absorption substrate is activated charcoal. In this embodiment, although the connection of the charcoal cap 2.1 and the air filter 1 is realized by the ventilating nozzle 1.2 and the air outlet being connected by clamping, in order to strengthen the connection of the charcoal canister 2 and the air filter 1, the charcoal cap 2.1 and the air filter 1 can be connected by bolts.

The working method of the present invention includes the vent nozzle 1.1 being disposed on the air filter 1. The fuel vapor in the fuel tank enters the charcoal canister 2 through the fuel pipe 3, and is discharged to the atmosphere after it goes through the fuel-absorption substrate. The fuel vapor from the charcoal canister 2 goes through the ventilating nozzle 1.2, the air filter 1, then the vent nozzle 1.1, then gets discharged to the atmosphere.

The above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the present invention, any modification within the spirit and principles of the present invention, made by the equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included in the protection of the present invention within the range.
