The problem that a large amount of noise is generated when the all-air system operates is solved, and the noise at the air outlet of the all-air system is mainly generated by the noise generated by airflow, the noise generated by vibration when the unit operates, the noise generated by friction between the airflow and the pipeline wall and the like. The noise generated by the airflow is related to the airflow speed, the greater the flow speed is, the greater the generated noise is, therefore, the noise generated by the airflow at the air outlet of the fan is the greatest, if the air speed at the air outlet of the fan is directly led to the external environment through the external air outlet pipeline, even if the speed of the airflow flowing through the pipeline is reduced due to the influence of the pipeline resistance, the flow speed of the airflow coming out of the outlet of the pipeline is still greater, and larger noise is necessarily generated, therefore, an assembly capable of reducing the airflow speed is needed to be arranged to reduce the noise in the air outlet process, and meanwhile, an effective silencing structure is designed to absorb the noise.
Based on the above, the utility model provides a noise reduction assembly, which is characterized in that a noise reduction box is arranged at the air outlet end of a cabinet body to be silenced so as to reduce the flow velocity of air flow, convert the dynamic pressure of the air flow into static pressure, and meanwhile, a noise reduction structure is arranged in the noise reduction box, and the noise reduction structure is designed and optimized for each parameter so that the noise reduction structure can effectively absorb the noise generated in the air flow output by the air outlet end of the cabinet body to be silenced.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a noise reduction assembly, which relates to a cabinet body 1 to be silenced, wherein the cabinet body 1 to be silenced is an all-air treatment equipment cabinet body, a surface cooler and a fan (not shown) are arranged in the cabinet body, the surface cooler processes air flow entering the all-air treatment equipment cabinet body, and the air flow is pumped to the outside of the all-air treatment equipment cabinet body through the fan. The noise reduction assembly includes a sound reduction box 10 and a sound reduction structure 20. The silencing box 10 is provided with a first air inlet 11, the first air inlet 11 is connected with the air outlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced in a conducting mode, and the silencing structure 20 is fixedly arranged in the silencing box 10.
Specifically, the air outlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced is provided with a cabinet body air outlet 1a, and the connection position of the silencing box 10 and the cabinet body 1 to be silenced is determined by the opening position of the cabinet body air outlet 1 a. In this embodiment, since the cabinet air outlet 1a is opposite to the fan air outlet, and the fan is fixedly disposed at the top of the cabinet 1 to be silenced, the silencing box 10 is fixedly disposed on the top outer wall of the cabinet 1 to be silenced. The first air inlet 11 is arranged on one surface of the sound-reducing box 10, and the first air inlet 11 is connected with the cabinet air outlet 1a in a conducting way, so that air flows into the sound-reducing box 10 from the cabinet air outlet 1a and flows to an external area from the air outlet end of the sound-reducing box 10 through an external air outlet pipeline. The air outlet end of the sound-deadening box 10 may be disposed on any surface of the sound-deadening box 10, where the first air inlet 11 is not disposed, and preferably, the air outlet end of the sound-deadening box 10 is disposed on a surface opposite to the first air inlet 11, and the first air inlet 11 is opposite to the cabinet air outlet 1a, so as to avoid extra wind resistance generated by bending the airflow in the sound-deadening box 10.
It is understood that, according to the formula of air volume=wind speed×cross-sectional area, it is known that, in the case of a certain air volume, the wind speed is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area through which air flows. In this embodiment, since the cabinet air outlet 1a is disposed at the air outlet end of the blower, the air volume at the cabinet air outlet 1a is rated under the condition that the power of the blower is constant. As an exemplary embodiment, the silencer 10 is a square column box body with the same cross section along the airflow direction, the opening size of the first air inlet 11 is equal to or larger than the cabinet air outlet 1a, the cross section area of the cabinet air outlet 1a is 495mm×245mm, the cross section area of the internal cavity of the silencer 10 is 642mm×600mm, the rated air volume of the air from the cabinet air outlet 1a is 3000m 3/h, it can be obtained that the air speed of the cabinet air outlet 1a is 6.8m/h, and the air speed when the air flows into the internal cavity of the silencer 10 is reduced to 2.1m/s. From this, the air flow enters the sound-reducing box 10 from the cabinet air outlet 1a, and the speed becomes low, and the noise becomes low. In addition, the air flow in this embodiment can be regarded as ideal fluid, according to the principle of conservation of energy when ideal fluid makes steady flow, when the air flow speed becomes small, the dynamic pressure inside the silencer 10 becomes small, the dynamic pressure is converted into static pressure, the static pressure is increased, the large static pressure has stronger capability of overcoming the conveying resistance, which means that the air flow loss of the static pressure air flow is smaller under the condition that the lengths of the external air outlet pipelines are the same, therefore, when the cross section area of the silencer 10 along the air flow direction is larger than the opening area of the air outlet 1a of the cabinet body, the air flow speed can be reduced, the noise can be reduced, and at the moment, the dynamic pressure is converted into the static pressure, and the air flow can be conveyed to a farther space area. It should be noted that, when the first air inlet 11 is smaller than the cabinet air outlet 1a, the air flow flows through the connection between the cabinet air outlet 1a and the first air inlet 11, and the air flow speed is rapidly increased due to the air flow from the large cross section to the small cross section, so that the first air inlet 11 needs to be opened to be equal to or larger than the cabinet air outlet 1a.
The end face of the air inlet end of the silencing box 10 is provided with a plurality of clamping plates 12, the end face of the air outlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced is provided with a clamping groove 12a which is matched with the clamping plate 12a, and the clamping plates 12 are clamped in the clamping groove 12a so that the end face of the air inlet end of the silencing box 10 is abutted against the end face of the air outlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced. Or the end face of the air outlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced is provided with a plurality of clamping plates 12, the end face of the air inlet end of the silencing box 10 is provided with a clamping groove 12a which is matched with the clamping plate 12a, and the clamping plates 12 are clamped in the clamping groove 12a. It will be appreciated that when the opening of the first air inlet 11 is equal to or greater than the air outlet 1a of the cabinet and smaller than the air inlet end of the muffler box 10, the clamping plate 12 may be disposed at any position of the air inlet end of the muffler box 10. The silencing box 10 is fixedly connected with the cabinet body 1 to be silenced in a clamping and inserting mode, connection stability is guaranteed while connection is facilitated, noise generated by vibration during unit operation is reduced, and the silencing box 10 with different sizes can be replaced at any time according to actual requirements.
In other embodiments, the edge of the first air inlet 11 is surrounded by a connecting piece, the connecting piece protrudes out of the outer wall of the sound-reducing box 10, and the shape and the size of the surrounding connecting piece are matched with those of the cabinet air outlet 1a, so that the connecting piece is firmly inserted into the cabinet air outlet 1a. Or the edge of the air outlet 1a of the cabinet body is surrounded by a connecting piece, the connecting piece protrudes out of the outer side of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced, and the shape and the size of the surrounding connecting piece are matched with those of the first air inlet 11, so that the connecting piece is firmly inserted into the first air inlet 11.
As a further embodiment, a sealing member is arranged at the connection between the sound-deadening box 10 and the cabinet body 1 to be deadened. Specifically, the sealing member encloses the surface of the junction of the sound-deadening box 10 and the cabinet body 1 to be deadened. In other embodiments, the sealing member is sandwiched between the connecting member and the cabinet air outlet 1a or between the connecting member and the first air inlet 11. The seal is made of a material which has good sealing performance and has a buffer effect, and is preferably a rubber seal. Through setting up the sealing member, on the one hand can prevent that the air current from flowing out from the gap of amortization case 10 and waiting to amortize cabinet body 1 junction and cause the air current loss to and the noise of simultaneous production, on the other hand can further stabilize the connection between amortization case 10 and the cabinet body air outlet 1a, and then reduce the noise that vibrations produced when waiting to amortize the internal unit operation of cabinet body 1.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, the silencing structure 20 includes a plurality of first silencing layers 21, a second silencing layer 22 and a third silencing layer 23, wherein a plurality of silencing holes 21a are formed in the first silencing layer 21 and are clamped between the second silencing layer 22 and the third silencing layer 23, and the first silencing layer 21, the second silencing layer 22 and the third silencing layer 23 are tightly attached to each other to form an integral structure. The first sound-deadening layer 21 is a sound-deadening layer made of a noise-deadening material, and may specifically be a sound-deadening layer made of a sound-deadening material, a sound-absorbing material, or a material having good reflection performance for sound waves, preferably a sound-absorbing material, having good sound-absorbing effect for noise. The second noise reduction layer 22 is a noise reduction layer made of a vibration/noise reduction material, and may specifically be a noise reduction layer made of rubber, damping glue or the like, preferably damping glue, and the damping glue layer has a good sound absorption effect and a vibration reduction function so as to reduce noise by reducing vibration of the noise reduction box 10. The third silencing layer 23 is made of metal material, and may be zinc foil layer, aluminum foil layer, etc. preferably aluminum foil layer, which has good noise reflecting and blocking effect, and can reflect and block sound wave, and has good heat insulating effect, so as to avoid heat loss caused by heat transfer of hot air or cold air flowing out from the air outlet 1a of the cabinet body in the silencing box 10.
In order to further enhance the sound absorbing effect, parameters such as the size of the sound absorbing holes 21a, the distance between the centers of every two adjacent sound absorbing holes 21a, the thickness of each sound absorbing layer, and the like are optimally designed. In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the maximum friction force is generated between the shortest wavelength sound wave in the auditory range of the human ear and the sound deadening hole 21a to obtain the maximum sound deadening coefficient, the diameter of the sound deadening hole 21a is 1mm to 3mm. Meanwhile, the plurality of silencing holes 21a are uniformly distributed at equal intervals, when the distance between the centers of two adjacent silencing holes 21a is too short, the quantity of the silencing holes 21a is distributed more, the area of silencing cotton is correspondingly smaller, and the silencing cotton has a higher silencing coefficient, so that the silencing coefficient of the whole silencing layer can be reduced, and therefore, the distance between the centers of every two adjacent silencing holes 21a is larger than 5 times of the diameter of the silencing hole 21 a. In addition, in order to ensure a sufficiently large area of the sound deadening layer, the total area of the plurality of sound deadening holes 21a is 1.5 to 2 times larger than the area of the cabinet air outlet 1a, and it should be noted that the total area of the sound deadening holes 21a cannot be increased by merely reducing the distance between the centers of the adjacent sound deadening holes 21a, and as described above, the distance between the centers of the adjacent sound deadening holes 21a needs to ensure that the sound deadening layer has a large sound deadening coefficient, so that the total area of the sound deadening holes 21a needs to be increased by increasing the laying area of the whole sound deadening structure 20 at a constant distance between the centers of the adjacent sound deadening holes 21 a. Furthermore, the thickness of the first silencing layer 21, the second silencing layer 22 and the third silencing layer 23 is designed, under the condition of improving the silencing coefficient, the total thickness of the three silencing layers is not thicker, the thicker silencing layer is adhered to the inside of the silencing box 10, so that larger wind resistance is caused, and as mentioned above, the cross section area of the silencing box 10 is reduced, the reduction of wind speed and the pressure conversion of air flow are not facilitated, therefore, the thickness ratio of the first silencing layer 21, the second silencing layer 22 and the third silencing layer 23 is (7.5-20) h (2-4) h: h, wherein h is the thickness of the third silencing layer 23. Preferably, the diameter of the silencing holes 21a is 1.5-2.5 mm, the distance between the centers of every two adjacent silencing holes 21a is 7.5-12.5 mm, the total area of the silencing holes 21a is 1.8-2 times larger than the area of the cabinet air outlet 1a, the thickness of the first silencing layer 21 is 10-15 mm, the thickness of the second silencing layer 22 is 3-4 mm, and the thickness of the third silencing layer 23 is 1-2 mm. Most preferably, the diameter of the silencing holes 21a is 2mm, the distance between the centers of every two adjacent silencing holes 21a is 10mm, the total area of the silencing holes 21a is 2 times larger than the area of the cabinet air outlet 1a, the thickness of the first silencing layer 21 is 15mm, the thickness of the second silencing layer 22 is 2mm, and the thickness of the third silencing layer 23 is 1mm.
The silencing structure 20 is attached to the wall surface of the inner cavity of the silencing box 10. Specifically, the second muffler layer 22 is in contact with the inner cavity wall surface of the muffler case 10, or the third muffler layer 23 is in contact with the inner cavity wall surface of the muffler case 10. In this embodiment, the second muffler layer 22 is in contact with the inner cavity wall surface of the muffler case 10. Compared with the single-layer silencing layer, the multi-layer silencing structure 20 has better noise reduction effect, and the specific silencing process is that when noise reaches the third silencing layer 23, a part of sound waves are reflected and blocked by the third silencing layer 23, return to the inside of the silencing box 10, the noise intensity is reduced, the rest part of the sound waves penetrate through the third silencing layer 23 and enter the second silencing layer 22, friction is generated between the sound waves and the wall surface of the silencing hole 21a in the second silencing layer 22, part of the sound waves are converted into heat energy to be dissipated, the sound waves passing through the second silencing layer 22 are weakened, so that the noise intensity is further reduced, in addition, the noise passing through the second silencing layer 22 enters the first silencing layer 21, the damping glue layer of the first silencing layer 21 not only can absorb the sound waves, but also further reduces the noise intensity by reducing vibration, and finally only a trace amount of noise is transmitted to the outside from the silencing box 10.
Referring to fig. 5, further, an air inlet box 30 is disposed at an air inlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced, an air outlet end of the air inlet box 30 is connected with the air inlet end of the cabinet body 1 to be silenced in a conducting manner, a second air inlet 31 is disposed at the air inlet end of the air inlet box 30, the second air inlet 31 is used for connecting an external air inlet pipe, and the external air inlet pipe guides external air flow into the air inlet box 30 and then flows into the cabinet body 1 to be silenced for treatment. In this process, a large amount of noise is also generated, and in order to reduce the noise generated during the air intake process of the air intake box 30, the wall surface of the inner cavity of the air intake box 30 is adhered with the silencing structure 20. Similarly, the second muffler layer 22 may be in contact with the inner cavity wall surface of the air inlet box 30, or the third muffler layer 23 may be in contact with the inner cavity wall surface of the air inlet box 30. In this embodiment, the second silencing layer 22 is abutted against the wall surface of the inner cavity of the air inlet box 30, when the air flows into the air inlet box 30 from the second air inlet 31, the sound wave generated by the air flow is firstly transmitted to the third silencing layer 23, the third silencing layer 23 reflects and blocks a part of sound wave, another part of sound wave is transmitted into the first silencing layer 21, friction is generated between the sound wave and the wall surface of the silencing hole 21a in the second silencing layer 22, a part of sound energy is converted into heat energy to be dissipated, the rest of sound wave is transmitted into the second silencing layer 22, the second silencing layer 22 further absorbs the sound wave, and the noise reduction effect can be achieved by reducing the vibration of the air inlet box 30.
Further, the opening size of the second air inlet 31 and the cross-sectional area size of the air inlet box 30 are analyzed. As an exemplary embodiment, the air inlet box 30 is a square column box body with the same cross section along the air flow direction, the cross section area of the second air inlet 31 is 495mm×245mm, the cross section area of the inner cavity of the air inlet box 30 is 600mm×300mm, the rated air quantity entering the air inlet box 30 from the second air inlet 31 is 3000m 3/h, it can be obtained that the air speed of the air at the second air inlet 31 is 6.8m/h, and the air speed when the air flows into the inner cavity of the air inlet box 30 is reduced to 4.6m/s. The air flow enters the air inlet box 30 from the second air inlet 31, the speed becomes low, and the noise becomes low. In addition, the external air inlet pipeline is conveyed to the second air inlet 31 to be an ideal fluid, according to the principle of energy conservation when the ideal fluid is subjected to steady flow, when the speed of the air flow is reduced, the dynamic pressure in the air inlet box 30 is reduced, the dynamic pressure is converted into the static pressure, the static pressure is increased, the capacity of overcoming the conveying resistance by the large static pressure is stronger, and therefore the static pressure air flow loss is smaller after the air flow passes through the air inlet box 30, the air flow input from the outside is reduced, the power required by the input air flow is reduced, and the energy consumption is further reduced. Therefore, when the cross-sectional area of the air inlet box 30 along the air flow direction is larger than the opening area of the second air inlet 31, not only the air flow speed can be reduced to reduce noise, but also the dynamic pressure is converted into the static pressure at this time, so that the loss of the air flow through the air inlet box 30 can be reduced.
Also, as a further embodiment, a sealing member is provided at the junction of the second air inlet 31 and the external air inlet duct. The sealing member may be sandwiched between the second air inlet 31 and the external air inlet pipe, or may be enclosed on the outer surface of the junction between the external air inlet pipe and the air inlet box 30. The seal is made of a material which has good sealing performance and has a buffer effect, and is preferably made of a rubber material. By providing the sealing member, it is possible to prevent the air flow from flowing out of the slit at the joint to cause air flow loss and noise generated at the same time.
The embodiment of the application also provides an all-air system, which comprises any one of the noise reduction assemblies and an air inlet box 30.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the application has the beneficial effects that:
(1) The silencing box is arranged at the air outlet end of the cabinet body to be silenced, the silencing structure is arranged in the silencing box, and the silencing box and the silencing structure are designed, so that noise generated by air flow output by the air outlet end of the cabinet body to be silenced can be effectively reduced;
