Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
As known from the background art, in order to reduce the noise of the air conditioner, a muffler with a fixed structure is generally used to reduce the noise of the air conditioner with a certain frequency. However, the frequency spectrum difference of noise generated by air conditioners of different models or air conditioners in different working states is large, the noise of the air conditioner cannot be effectively reduced by adopting the silencer of a fixed structure form, the noise reduction effect is poor, and the user experience is poor.
Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a control method and a control system of a silencer, which can reduce noise generated by air conditioners in different working states or different types to the maximum extent, improve noise reduction effect and improve user experience by acquiring noise data of an air outlet of the silencer and adjusting the length of each silencing area of the silencer to the optimal length.
It should be noted that, in the muffler according to the embodiments of the present invention, from the inlet to the outlet of the cavity of the muffler, the cavity of the muffler is divided into a first muffling area (which may be replaced by another name, such as a sound absorbing material area), a second muffling area (which may also be referred to as an expansion area), and a third muffling area (which may also be referred to as a resonant cavity) in this order.

In FIG. 1, L1Is the length of the sound-absorbing material region, L2To the length of the expansion zone, L3For the length of resonant cavity, can adjust the length of sound-absorbing material district, expanding region and resonant cavity through adjusting first movable plate and second movable plate, and then can adjust the interior volume of sound-absorbing material district, expanding region and resonant cavity.

The above is an exemplary content about the architecture of the silencer according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the details of the embodiment of the present invention are as follows.
It should be noted that the method and system for controlling a muffler according to the embodiments of the present invention are applicable to a controller such as a Micro Control Unit (MCU).
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a control method of a muffler according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the control method includes:
step S201: noise data of an air outlet of the muffler is acquired.
It should be noted that the cavity of the muffler is divided into: the specific structure of the muffler can refer to the example content shown in fig. 1, and details are not repeated here.
In the process of implementing step S201 specifically, acquiring initial noise data of the air outlet of the muffler by a sound acquisition device (such as a microphone); the initial noise data is analyzed by an analyzing device (e.g., a spectrum analyzer) to obtain the noise data obtained in step S201, where the noise data at least includes spectral information (e.g., acoustic characteristic parameters such as frequency domain, amplitude information, frequency, and sound pressure level).
It can be understood that the initial noise data acquired by the sound acquisition device is a time domain signal, the analysis device performs fast fourier transform on the initial noise data, and converts the initial noise data into a frequency domain signal, and the frequency domain signal converted by the analysis device is the noise data acquired in step S201.
In summary, the noise data of the outlet of the muffler acquired in step S201 is the noise data processed by the analysis device.
Step S202: noise data is identified, and at least the incident acoustic wave frequency is obtained.
In the process of implementing step S202 specifically, noise data (frequency domain signal) is identified, and from the spectrum information of the noise data, a frequency (or frequency segment) at which the maximum amplitude is obtained is identified and taken as the incident sound wave frequency.
Step S203: based on the noise elimination amount calculation function corresponding to the first noise elimination area, the second noise elimination area and the third noise elimination area and the preset length constraint condition, the maximum total noise elimination amount of the silencer is optimized by combining the frequency of incident sound waves, and the first optimal length of the first noise elimination area, the second optimal length of the second noise elimination area and the third optimal length of the third noise elimination area are determined.
As can be seen from the above description in fig. 1, the first, second and third muffling areas of the muffler are used to reduce noise generated by the air conditioner, specifically, the noise reduction effect of each muffling area is expressed by a muffling amount, and the muffling amount of each muffling area can be calculated by a corresponding muffling amount calculation function.
In some embodiments, the amount of sound attenuation Δ T for the first sound attenuation zone1Is related to the length of the first muffling area, and the calculation function of the muffling amount of the first muffling area is as formula (1).
ΔT1=aL1 (1)
In the formula (1), L1A is a predetermined constant for the length of the first muffling area, a being related to the muffler cross-sectional dimensions and the material (e.g., sound absorbing material) of the first muffling area.
Noise elimination amount Delta T of second noise elimination region2Is related to the length of the second muffling area, and the muffling amount of the second muffling area is calculated as a function of equation (2).
ΔT2=10lg[1+1/4b2sin2(2πfL2/c)] (2)
In the formula (2), L2Is the length of the second muffling area, f is the incident sound wave frequency, b is a predetermined constant, b is related to the muffler cross-sectional size and the material (e.g., sound absorbing material) of the second muffling area, and c is the sound velocity.
Noise elimination quantity delta T of third noise elimination area3Is related to the length of the third sound-deadening region, and the sound-deadening amount of the third sound-deadening region is calculated as a function of equation (3).
In the formula (3), L3Is the length of the third sound-deadening region, f is the incident sound frequency, frIs the third herbThe natural frequency of the sound zone, d is a preset constant, and d is related to the structural size of the silencer.
In some embodiments, the lengths of the first, second and third muffling areas of the muffler have corresponding preset length constraints, the length constraint of the first muffling area is used for defining the length variation range of the first muffling area, the length constraint of the second muffling area is used for defining the length variation range of the second muffling area, and the length constraint of the third muffling area is used for defining the length variation range of the third muffling area.
In some embodiments, the length constraint of the first muffling area is: 1/3La≤L1≤La+1/2Lb(ii) a The length constraint conditions of the second muffling area are as follows: l is more than or equal to 02≤2/3La+Lb+Lc(ii) a The length constraint condition of the third silencing area is that L is more than or equal to 03≤2/3La+Lb+Lc. Wherein L is1Is the length of the first muffling area, L2Is the length of the second muffling area, L3Is the length of the third sound-deadening region, LaIs the initial length of the first muffling area of the muffler in the initial state, LbIs the initial length of the second muffling area, L, of the muffler in the initial statecThe initial length of the third sound-deadening zone in the initial state of the muffler. It should be noted that, in the initial state, the muffler specifically means: the length of each muffling area in the muffler is never adjusted. That is, the initial length of each muffling area is a preset and constant value.
It is understood that the total amount of sound attenuation of the muffler is equal to the amount of sound attenuation of the first sound attenuation region + the amount of sound attenuation of the second sound attenuation region + the amount of sound attenuation of the third sound attenuation region.
In the process of specifically implementing step S203, based on the muffling amount calculation function of the first muffling area (formula (1)), the muffling amount calculation function of the second muffling area (formula (2)), the muffling amount calculation function of the third muffling area (formula (3)), the length constraint condition of the first muffling area, the length constraint condition of the second muffling area, the length constraint condition of the third muffling area, and the incident sound wave frequency, optimizing with the maximum total muffling amount of the muffler being a target, and determining a first optimal length of the first muffling area, a second optimal length of the second muffling area, and a third optimal length of the third muffling area; it is understood that the first optimal length satisfies a length constraint of the first muffling area, the second optimal length satisfies a length constraint of the second muffling area, and the third optimal length satisfies a length constraint of the third muffling area.
That is, on the premise that the length of each muffling area satisfies the corresponding length constraint condition, the maximum total muffling amount of the muffler is taken as a target, and the length of each muffling area is optimized by combining the incident sound wave frequency and the muffling amount calculation function for calculating the muffling amount shown in the above formulas (1) to (3), so as to find the first optimal length, the second optimal length, and the third optimal length which maximize the total muffling amount.
Step S204: and respectively controlling the first moving plate and the second moving plate, and respectively adjusting the lengths of the first silencing area, the second silencing area and the third silencing area to be a first optimal length, a second optimal length and a third optimal length.
It is understood that the lengths of the first, second, and third muffling areas can be adjusted by controlling the first moving plate to move leftward or rightward and the second moving plate to move leftward or rightward by the muffler adjusting mechanism.
It should be noted that the driving form of the muffler adjusting mechanism is electric driving, hydraulic driving, or pneumatic driving.
In the process of specifically implementing step S204, a control signal is determined based on the current lengths of the first, second, and third silence areas in combination with the first, second, and third optimal lengths; and sending the control signal to a silencer adjusting mechanism, so that the silencer adjusting mechanism controls the first moving plate and the second moving plate to move according to the control signal, and adjusting the lengths of the first silencing area, the second silencing area and the third silencing area to be the first optimal length, the second optimal length and the third optimal length respectively.
That is, the muffler adjusting mechanism may move the first moving plate and the second moving plate according to the control signal, adjust the length of the first muffling area from the current length to the first optimal length, adjust the length of the second muffling area from the current length to the second optimal length, and adjust the length of the third muffling area from the current length to the third optimal length.
For example: assuming that the driving form of the muffler adjusting mechanism is electric driving, the control signal includes the rotation angle of the driving motor, so that the muffler adjusting mechanism controls the driving motor to rotate by a specified angle (the angle included in the control signal), and further adjusts the lengths of the first muffling area, the second muffling area and the third muffling area from the current length to the first optimal length, the second optimal length and the third optimal length, respectively.
To better explain how the muffler adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the length of each muffling area, the schematic diagram of the structure of controlling the driving motor to adjust the muffler shown in fig. 3 is used for illustration.
In fig. 3, the muffler adjusting mechanism is driven electrically, and includes: the device comprises a driving motor 1, a gear rack mechanism 1, a driving motor 2 and a gear rack mechanism 2. After the MCU controller determines a control signal based on the current lengths of the first, second and third muffling areas and in combination with the first, second and third optimal lengths, the MCU controller sends the control signal to the driving motor 1 and the driving motor 2. The driving motor 1 rotates according to the angle in the control signal to drive the rack and pinion mechanism 1 to move, so that the moving plate 1 (first moving plate) is controlled to move; the driving motor 2 rotates according to the angle in the control signal to drive the rack and pinion mechanism 2 to move, so that the moving plate 2 (a second moving plate) is controlled to move; finally, the lengths of the sound absorption material area (the first sound absorption area), the expansion area (the second sound absorption area) and the resonant cavity (the third sound absorption area) are adjusted.
It should be noted that the forward rotation of the driving motor shown in fig. 3 may drive the rack-and-pinion mechanism to move leftward, so as to move the moving plate leftward, and the reverse rotation of the driving motor may drive the rack-and-pinion mechanism to move rightward, so as to move the moving plate rightward. Similarly, there may be another case: the reverse rotation of the drive motor shown in fig. 3 may drive the rack and pinion mechanism to move leftward, which in turn moves the moving plate leftward, and the forward rotation of the drive motor may drive the rack and pinion mechanism to move rightward, which in turn moves the moving plate rightward.
In summary, the controller combines the sound collecting device, the analyzing device and the muffler adjusting mechanism to adjust the length of each muffling area of the muffler, and for better explaining the linkage between the controller and other devices, the schematic diagram of the connection structure between the controller and other devices shown in fig. 4 is used for illustration.
In fig. 4, a microphone (sound collection device) collects initial noise data of an air outlet of a muffler, and sends the initial noise data to a spectrum analyzer (analysis device) for processing to obtain a frequency domain signal (noise data); the spectrum analyzer sends the noise data to the MCU controller for processing to obtain a control signal (see above for the process of determining the control signal); the MCU controller sends a control signal to the silencer adjusting mechanism, and the silencer adjusting mechanism adjusts the lengths of the first silencing area, the second silencing area and the third silencing area of the silencer to be the first optimal length, the second optimal length and the third optimal length respectively.
In conclusion, the lengths of the first silencing area, the second silencing area and the third silencing area of the silencer are adjusted by acquiring the noise data of the air outlet of the silencer in real time, so that the total silencing quantity of the silencer under different conditions is ensured to be maximum, the sound absorption, silencing and sound insulation effects are realized, and the noise generated by air conditioners under different working conditions or different models is reduced to the maximum extent.
In the embodiment of the invention, the noise data of the air outlet of the silencer is collected, and the length of each silencing area of the silencer is adjusted to be the optimal length, so that the noise generated by air conditioners in different working states or different models is reduced to the maximum extent, the noise reduction effect is improved, and the user experience is improved.
