The outer cylinder 20 is used to cooperate with the inner cylinder 10 to form a resonant cavity 30, and when sound waves enter the resonant cavity 30, a part of sound energy is reflected back to the sound source to be cancelled due to the sudden change of acoustic impedance. Meanwhile, under the action of the sound wave, the air column in the resonant cavity 30 generates resonance, and the frictional damping during the resonance converts a part of the sound energy into heat energy to be dissipated, so that the radiation quantity of the sound energy is reduced, and the aim of eliminating the noise is fulfilled.

Specifically, the resonant frequency f of the muffler can be calculated by the following formula:
wherein C is the sound velocity, A is the cross-sectional area of the muffling channel 11, V is the cavity volume of the resonant cavity 30, and L is the effective length of the muffling channel 11.

Further, in order to widen the adjustment range of the resonant frequency of the silencer, refer to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 4, wherein the silencer further includes an adjusting cylinder 40, one end of the outer cylinder 20 contacts with the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 to form a sealed end 210, the other end is spaced from the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 to form an open end 220, the adjusting cylinder 40 is embedded in the open end 220, and the adjusting cylinder 40 can move along the axis of the inner cylinder 10 to adjust the size of the resonant cavity 30 along with the movement of the adjusting cylinder 40.
In the above embodiment, the adjusting cylinder 40 is inserted into the open end 220 and seals the open end 220, so as to form the sealed resonant cavity 30, since the adjusting cylinder 40 can move along the axis of the inner cylinder 10, the volume of the resonant cavity 30 is changed, and finally the purpose of changing the resonant frequency of the muffler is achieved, in combination with the embodiment in which the adjusting member 21 changes the size of the muffling channel 11, the size of the muffling channel 11 and the volume of the resonant cavity 30 can be changed at the same time, so as to expand the resonant frequency adjusting range of the widened muffler, so that the muffler can perform noise elimination on noise with lower or higher frequency.
It will be appreciated that both ends of the outer barrel 20 can be sealed ends 210 and contact the outer wall surface of the inner barrel 10 to form a seal, thereby forming a fixed volume resonant cavity 30.
Further, in some embodiments of the present application, for example, for embodiments in which the muffler further includes the adjusting cylinder 40, referring to fig. 1, 3, 4 and 7, in order to ensure the sealing property of the open end 220, fig. 7 shows a schematic structural diagram of the adjusting cylinder 40 in the embodiments of the present application, specifically, the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 20 is provided with a first internal thread 22, the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 is provided with a first external thread 12, the outer wall surface of the adjusting cylinder 40 is provided with a second external thread 41 screwed with the first internal thread 22, and the inner wall surface of the adjusting cylinder 40 is provided with a second internal thread 42 screwed with the first external thread 12. The first female screw 22 and the first male screw 12 are screwed to form a plurality of sealing surfaces, and the second female screw 42 and the second male screw 41 are screwed to form a plurality of sealing surfaces, thereby achieving sealing between the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 20 and the outer wall surface of the adjustment cylinder 40, and between the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 and the inner wall surface of the adjustment cylinder 40.
It is understood that the sealing between the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 20 and the outer wall surface of the adjustment cylinder 40, and the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 and the inner wall surface of the adjustment cylinder 40 can be achieved in other manners, such as the sealing ring 70; alternatively, a sealing ring 70 may be provided at a contact portion of the outer cylinder 20 and the inner cylinder 10 to seal the sealing end 210.
Further, the adjusting cylinder 40 and the outer cylinder 20 are prevented from being rotated randomly during operation, and with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first external thread 12 is further screwed with a first nut 80, and the first nut 80 is in contact with one end of the adjusting cylinder 40 away from the outer cylinder 20; the second external thread 41 is further threaded with a second nut 90, and the second nut 90 contacts an end of the outer barrel 20 away from the sealing end 210. When the silencer works, the first nut 80 is abutted against the open end 220 of the outer cylinder 20, the second nut 90 is abutted against one end of the adjusting cylinder 40, and the phenomenon that the resonant frequency is changed due to the fact that the adjusting cylinder 40 and the outer cylinder 20 rotate due to noise vibration can be avoided due to the influence of friction force between the end face of the nut and the end faces of the outer cylinder 20 and the adjusting cylinder 40.
As an exemplary structure of the sound attenuation channel 11 and the adjusting member 21, refer to fig. 3 and 6, wherein the sound attenuation channel 11 includes a strip-shaped hole 111 annularly disposed around the axis of the inner cylinder 10, the adjusting member 21 includes a fan-shaped partition 211 corresponding to the size of the strip-shaped hole 111, and an end surface of the fan-shaped partition 211 facing the strip-shaped hole 111 is at least partially attached to an outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10. In the rotating process of the outer cylinder 20, the end surface part of the fan-shaped partition board 211 facing the strip-shaped hole 111 is attached to the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10, the other part covers the strip-shaped hole 111, and along with the continuous rotating cylinder of the outer cylinder 20, the fan-shaped partition board 211 can completely cover the strip-shaped hole 111 or can completely open the strip-shaped hole 111, so that the size of the silencing channel 11 is changed.
It can be understood that the muffling channel 11 and the adjusting member 21 can be in other shapes, for example, the muffling channel 11 is a circular hole, the adjusting member 21 is a cylinder corresponding to the circular hole, and the cylinder shields a part of the muffling hole to change the size of the muffling channel 11.
With continued reference to fig. 8, fig. 8 shows a schematic cross-sectional view at C-C of the embodiment of the present application, wherein a closed annular chamber 60 is disposed inside the barrel of the adjusting barrel 40, and the closed annular chamber 60 forms an air-borne noise chamber, which is advantageous for noise elimination of the silencer noise due to the large energy consumption of the air-borne noise.
Further, in order to further expand the adjustment range of the muffling frequency, in some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 shows another schematic cross-sectional view at a-a in fig. 1 of the present application, where the muffling channel 11 includes a plurality of sub-muffling channels 112 disposed at intervals, the adjusting member 21 includes a sub-adjusting member 212 corresponding to each sub-muffling channel 112, and since the plurality of sub-muffling channels 112 and the plurality of sub-adjusting members 212 are disposed, the maximum value of the muffling channel 11 is further expanded, the adjustment range of the muffling frequency can be further expanded, so as to perform muffling for noise with higher frequency.
Further, in some embodiments of the present application, for example, for the embodiment where the muffling channel 11 includes a plurality of sub-muffling channels 112 arranged at intervals, and the adjusting member 21 includes a sub-adjusting member 212 corresponding to each sub-muffling channel 112, in order to facilitate noise cancellation for noises with multiple frequencies, continuing to refer to fig. 9, an annular partition plate 50 is disposed between adjacent sub-muffling channels 112, and the annular partition plate 50 can divide the resonant cavity 30 into a plurality of sub-resonant cavities 31, and different sub-resonant cavities 31 have different resonant frequencies, so that noise cancellation can be performed for noises with different frequencies.
Generally, one side of the annular partition 50 is connected to the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 20, and the other side is attached to the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10, thereby dividing the resonant cavity 30 into a plurality of sub-resonant cavities 31. It can be understood that the annular partition 50 can also be connected with the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 on one side and attached to the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 20 on the other side; or, an independent annular partition plate 50 is provided, and both sides of the annular partition plate are respectively attached to the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 10 and the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 20, so as to divide the resonant cavity 30 into a plurality of sub-resonant cavities 31.
Further, in order to make each sub-resonant cavity 31 have different resonant frequencies, the size of each sub-muffling channel 112 is the same, and the size of each sub-resonant cavity 31 is different; or the size of each sub-resonance cavity 31 is the same, and the resonance frequency of each sub-resonance cavity 31 can be changed by changing the size of each sub-resonance cavity 31 and the size of each sub-resonance cavity 112.
It is understood that the sub-resonant cavities 31 and the sub-muffling channels 112 may also have different sizes, for example, multiple sets of sub-resonant cavities 31 and sub-muffling channels 112 are sequentially enlarged to make the resonant frequency of each sub-resonant cavity 31 different.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned contents of the silencer are for clearly showing the verification process of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications under the guidance of the present application, for example, both ends of the outer cylinder 20 can be set as the open ends 220 and respectively embedded into the adjusting cylinders 40, so as to realize the bidirectional adjustment of the resonant cavity 30.
