An air cleaner includes a base member including a base wall extending substantially horizontally, and a cover member attached to an upper side of the base wall to jointly define a filter chamber for receiving a filter element therein. The air cleaner further includes a passage member communicating with the filter chamber and incorporated with a plurality of air ejection pipes each surrounded by an annular air inlet passage fitted with guide vanes for rotating the air flow, and a case member defining separation chambers for separating dust from the rotating air flow. The passage member is interposed between the cover member and the case member.

Air cleaner

An internal combustion engine () having a cylinder () having a rearwardly slanted axial line is provided with a plurality of cylindrical cyclone dust collection units () commonly connected to an upstream end of a filter dust collection unit (). Each cyclone dust collection unit includes a main body () internally defining a separation chamber (C), and having an air inlet () communicating with outside and an air outlet () communicating with the filter dust collection unit, and the separation chamber is provided with a dust ejection hole (D) directed tangentially in an obliquely forward direction. Thereby, dust ejected from the dust ejection hole is ejected away from the operator of the engine, and is prevented from depositing on the engine.

Internal combustion engine having air cleaner

In an air cleaner (), three cyclone dust collection units () are arranged on one side of a filter dust collection unit () in a mutually parallel relationship. The cyclone dust collection units are arranged along a circumferential direction of the filter dust collection unit, and the central cyclone dust collection unit has a smaller diameter than the remaining cyclone dust collection units positioned on either side of the central cyclone dust collection unit so that the dust collection units can be accommodated in a rectangular profile is a highly space efficient manner.

An air-cooled engine for a working machine includes a fan cover, a muffler protector, and an insulator. The fan cover has a guide opening for guiding a cooling air toward an exhaust muffler. The muffler protector has air discharge holes for discharging the cooling air, which has been introduced through the guide opening into a guide passage, in a direction away from the working machine. The insulator has a deflector section bent toward a carburetor so that the cooling air having passed through another guide passage between the insulator and cylinder barrel is guided by the deflector section in a direction away from the working machine.
