Description
Technical Field

[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0035] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides an active and passive noise reduction muffler, which is installed on the engine exhaust pipe, and includes a noise reduction pipe, a honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210, a spiral ejection speed reduction component 220 and a kinetic energy turbine conversion component 230. The honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210, the spiral ejection speed reduction component 220 and the kinetic energy turbine conversion component 230 are coaxially arranged in the inner cavity of the noise reduction pipe along the airflow direction.
[0037] The noise reduction pipe includes an inlet section pipe 110, a noise reduction section pipe 120 and an outlet section pipe 130 which are connected in sequence. The inlet section pipe 110 is provided with a mainstream inlet 111, and the outlet section pipe 130 is provided with a mainstream outlet 131. The mainstream inlet 111 and the mainstream outlet 131 are opposite to each other and are located on the center line of the shell; wherein, the inlet section pipe 110 and the outlet section pipe 130 are conical cylinders, and the airflow of the engine exhaust pipe enters the conical expansion chamber of the inlet section pipe 110 through the mainstream inlet 111. The initial deceleration is achieved by means of the expansion effect of the chamber of the inlet section pipe 110 with the help of the conical structure. When the airflow diffuses in the chamber of the outlet section pipe, the kinetic energy is dispersed by the cavity space, and the flow velocity is suppressed by the first stage of the airflow velocity.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210 is used to divert, guide and reflux the airflow of the engine exhaust pipe to reduce the main airflow speed; the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210 includes a first substrate 211 and a second substrate 212 that are parallel to each other, and a reflux gap is formed between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. The surface of the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212 are arrayed with multiple conical guide tubes 213. After the airflow in the chamber of the inlet section pipe 110 enters the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210, most of the airflow will flow along the gaps between the conical guide tubes 213 and flow directly to the connection area between the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210 and the spiral injection speed reduction component 220. The array distribution of the conical guide tubes 213 can play a preliminary regularizing role on this part of the main airflow to avoid irregular diffusion of the airflow.
[0039] A plurality of guide holes 214 are provided in the central region of the first substrate 211, a reflow groove 215 is provided in the edge region thereof, and an overflow hole 216 is provided on the surface of the second substrate 212. The guide holes 214, the reflow groove 215, and the overflow hole 216 are arranged in an alternating manner with the conical guide tube 213; wherein, the guide hole 214 is a conical hole, the flared end of which faces the direction of the airflow, and the cross-section of the reflow groove 215 is arranged in a trapezoidal structure, the constricted end of which faces the direction of the airflow.
[0040] The multiple guide holes 214 in the central region of the first substrate 211 are tapered holes. The flared ends of the guide holes 214 face the direction of the airflow, receiving a portion of the main airflow and guiding it through the first substrate 211 into the return flow gap between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. The return flow grooves 215 in the edge region have a trapezoidal cross-section, with the constricted ends facing the direction of the airflow. This can intercept the entry of the main airflow, but can easily guide the airflow in the return flow gap. The airflow passing through the guide holes 214 and the return flow grooves 215 will form a rotating airflow between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. The rotating airflow will collide and interfere with the subsequent main airflow in the opposite direction, using the kinetic energy between the airflows to offset and further weaken the impact force of the main airflow, thereby reducing the overall velocity of the main airflow and performing the second stage of airflow velocity suppression.
[0041] Dense overflow holes 216 are opened on the surface of the second substrate 212. Since part of the airflow forms a rotating airflow between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212, and the guide holes 214 and the reflux grooves 215 continuously introduce airflow, it is easy to cause the pressure between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212 to increase. The overflow holes 216 can discharge excess airflow to avoid excessive pressure affecting the stable operation of the honeycomb spoiler noise reduction component 210. At the same time, the discharged airflow will also merge into the main airflow at a lower speed, further helping to reduce the overall flow rate of the main airflow.
[0042] Furthermore, the guide holes 214, the return grooves 215, the overflow holes 216, and the conical guide tube 213 are arranged in a staggered manner, ensuring that most of the main airflow flows smoothly along the gaps in the conical guide tube 213, while allowing the revolving airflow to evenly interfere with the main airflow, thereby avoiding excessive or insufficient collision of local airflows and preventing the airflow from the overflow holes 216 from forming new turbulence with the main airflow.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the spiral injection deceleration component 220 includes a porous sound absorption and confluence module 240 and a spiral guide switch module 250. The porous sound absorption and confluence module 240 absorbs airflow through its own porous structure to reduce noise. The spiral guide switch module 250 includes a spiral rotating chamber to extend the airflow running distance and direct the airflow toward the kinetic energy turbine conversion component 230.
[0044] Reference Figure 5As shown, the porous sound-absorbing confluence module 240 includes a frame body, a diversion structure, a multi-stage sound-absorbing structure and a deflection structure. The frame body includes an upper frame 2421 and a lower frame 2422. The upper frame 2421 and the lower frame 2422 form a chamber for accommodating the diversion structure and the multi-stage sound-absorbing structure. There are multiple multi-stage sound-absorbing structures, and the multiple multi-stage sound-absorbing structures are circumferentially arranged on the outside of the diversion structure. A central groove and a rectangular through groove 2424 for air flow to enter the diversion structure are provided on the upper frame 2421. The side wall of the lower frame 2422 is provided with multiple side flow ports 2423 corresponding to the multiple diversion structures. The deflection structure is configured as a plurality of deflection plate groups installed at the side flow ports 2423.
[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the deflector plate group includes a deflector bend 2431, a mounting base plate 2432 for mounting the deflector bend 2431 on the outer wall of the lower frame 2422, and a sound-absorbing cotton 2433 laid on the deflector bend 2431. An airflow channel for airflow deflection is formed between two adjacent deflector bends 2431. The cross-section of the airflow channel is arranged in a trapezoidal structure, and the flared end of the airflow channel faces the spiral guide switch module 250, so that the gas is guided toward the spiral guide switch module 250 in the airflow channel.
[0046] Exemplarily, the diversion structure includes a central base shaft 2442 installed at the center of the lower frame 2422 and a plurality of spiral bends 2441 installed on the central base shaft 2442. The airflow is guided to the side flow port 2423 through the spiral bends 2441 and enters the airflow channel. The surface of the spiral bends 2441 is covered with a layer of sound-absorbing material.
[0047] Exemplarily, the multi-stage sound absorption structure includes a multi-opening mask 2411 installed at a rectangular through groove 2424, and the multi-opening mask 2411 is provided with a plurality of parallel porous sound absorbing panels 2412. The multi-opening mask 2411 is provided with no less than two openings, one opening facing the rectangular through groove 2424, and one opening facing the air flow channel.
[0048] like Figure 6As shown, the spiral guide switch module 250 includes a spiral guide tube 251 with an opening, in which a first annular dividing plate 253 and a second annular dividing plate 254 are installed. The chamber of the spiral guide tube 251 is divided into an outer cavity, a central cavity and an inner cavity by the first annular dividing plate 253 and the second annular dividing plate 254. The second annular dividing plate 254 is also provided with an annular opening communicating with the central cavity and the inner cavity near the opening of the spiral guide tube 251. A spiral dividing piece 252 is spirally provided between the spiral guide tube 251 and the first annular dividing plate. The outer cavity is divided into a spiral rotating chamber by the spiral dividing piece 252, so that the airflow enters the spiral rotating chamber, extending the airflow flow. The stroke of movement, thereby reducing the air flow velocity, completing the third stage of air flow velocity suppression, an annular groove 255 is provided on one side of the first annular dividing cylinder plate 253 close to the bottom of the spiral guide cylinder 251, and the outer cavity and the central cavity are connected through the annular groove 255. The spirally flowing airflow enters the central cavity through the outer cavity and flows back into the inner cavity. A plurality of circumferentially distributed jet tubes 256 are provided at the bottom of the spiral guide cylinder 251. The jet tubes 256 are obliquely arranged at the bottom of the spiral guide cylinder 251, and the air inlet of the spiral guide cylinder 251 faces the chamber surrounded by the second annular dividing plate 254. The airflow in the inner cavity is finally ejected to the kinetic energy turbine conversion component 230 through the jet tube 256.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the kinetic energy turbine conversion component 230 includes a drainage hood, a spiral rotation module and a cutting and diversion module arranged in the drainage hood. The airflow is directed toward the spiral rotation module through the drainage hood to drive the spiral rotation module to rotate about its own axis. The rotating spiral rotation module stirs the drainage hood to integrate the airflow, and the airflow hits the cutting and diversion module to cut the integrated airflow.
[0050] The drainage cover includes an upper loading plate 232 and a lower loading plate 233 that are parallel to each other, and an annular cylinder plate 231 disposed outside the upper loading plate 232 and the lower loading plate 233. A mounting shaft seat 234 is disposed between the upper loading plate 232 and the lower loading plate 233. A plurality of jet slots are formed on the upper loading plate 232, and the jet slots correspond to the jet tubes 256.
[0051] A variable diameter cavity for accommodating the spiral rotation module and the cutting and diverting module is formed in the drainage cover, and the annular cylinder plate 231 is symmetrically formed by two conical annular plates.
[0052] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the spiral rotation module includes a spiral shaft 235 connected to the mounting shaft seat 234 of the upper loading plate 232, and a worm gear 236 arranged on the spiral shaft 235. The cutting and diversion module includes a support column 239 assembled on the mounting shaft seat 234 of the downloading plate 233, a plurality of circumferentially distributed supporting plates 238 installed on the support column 239, and triangular fins 237 distributed on the surface of the supporting plate 238. The support column 239 supports the spiral shaft 235 and is rotatably connected to the spiral shaft 235.
[0053] An active noise reduction structure 300 is also installed at the tail end of the noise reduction duct. It includes a microphone, a controller, and a speaker. The microphone is used to collect the noise signal generated by the exhaust airflow at the tail end of the noise reduction duct in real time and transmit this signal to the controller. The controller has a preset noise cancellation algorithm that analyzes and processes the received noise signal to generate an anti-noise signal with the same frequency and opposite phase as the noise signal. The speaker receives the anti-noise signal output by the controller and plays the anti-noise signal. The anti-noise and the noise generated by the airflow are superimposed and canceled during the transmission process, thereby further reducing the exhaust noise.
[0054] Working Principle: Airflow from the engine exhaust pipe first passes through the main flow inlet 111 of the noise reduction tube and enters the tapered expansion chamber of the inlet section pipe 110. Because the inlet section pipe 110 is a conical cylinder, as the airflow expands within the chamber, its kinetic energy is dispersed within the cavity, resulting in a first stage of velocity reduction.
[0055] Subsequently, the airflow enters the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210. Most of the airflow is guided into the connection area between the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210 and the spiral injection speed reduction component 220 along the tapered guide tubes 213 arrayed on the surfaces of the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. The flared end of the tapered guide tube 213 faces the direction of the airflow, so that most of the airflow is regularized and guided by the array-distributed tapered guide tubes 213. Part of the gas passes through the tapered guide holes 214 in the middle of the first substrate 211 and enters the reflux gap between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. It then flows back through the trapezoidal reflux groove 215 on the edge and flows back to the tapered expansion chamber of the inlet section pipe 110, thereby colliding and interfering with the main airflow of the inlet section pipe 110 that enters later. The impact force of the main airflow is weakened by kinetic energy offset, achieving the second stage of flow velocity suppression.
[0056] The airflow processed by the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction assembly 210 enters the spiral jet deceleration assembly 220. It first flows through the porous sound-absorbing confluence module 240, where the central slot and rectangular through-slot 2424 of the upper frame 2421 guide the airflow in. The airflow in the central slot is directed by the spiral bend 2441 of the diversion structure to the side flow port 2423 of the lower frame 2422, and then discharged through the air flow channel of the baffle structure. The airflow in the rectangular through-slot 2424 enters the multi-opening mask 2411 of the multi-stage sound-absorbing structure. After being diverted by the internal porous sound-absorbing panels 2412, it is also directed to the side flow port 2423 of the lower frame 2422, and then merges into the airflow channel through the opening.
[0057] As the airflow passes through the spiral bend 2441, the porous sound-absorbing panel 2412, and the deflection bend 2431, the sound-absorbing material absorbs the vibration noise of the airflow. At the same time, the trapezoidal structure of the airflow channel guides the airflow in a directional manner into the spiral guide switch module 250. The purpose of the porous sound-absorbing confluence module 240 is to rationally divert, guide, and adequately absorb the incoming airflow, thereby reducing airflow noise while ensuring a stable and directional flow state.
[0058] Next, the airflow enters the outer chamber of the spiral rotating chamber of the spiral guide switch module 250. Guided by the spiral partitions 252, it flows along a spiral path, extending the airflow's travel distance and further reducing its velocity, completing the third stage of velocity suppression. The airflow then passes through the annular grooves 255 of the first annular partition plate 253 and enters the central chamber, where it circulates back to the inner chamber. Finally, the airflow in the inner chamber is directed toward the kinetic energy turbine conversion assembly 230 via the inclined jet tube 256 at the bottom of the spiral guide tube 251.
[0059] Airflow passes through the upper carrier plate 232 of the guide housing and enters the variable diameter cavity of the kinetic energy turbine conversion assembly 230. It impacts the worm blade 236 of the spiral self-rotating module, driving the spiral shaft 235 to rotate about its own axis, converting the kinetic energy of the airflow into that of the worm blade 236. The rotating worm blade 236 stirs the airflow within the cavity, integrating it. The integrated airflow then strikes the triangular fins 237 of the cutting and diverting module, breaking it into dispersed streams, further reducing the impact and noise of the airflow.
[0060] Finally, the air is discharged through the pores on the surface of the load plate 233. At this point, the active noise reduction structure 300 at the end of the noise reduction tube is activated. The microphone collects the noise signal of the exhaust air in real time and transmits it to the controller. The controller uses a preset algorithm to generate an anti-noise signal with the same frequency and opposite phase, which is played by the speaker. The anti-noise and exhaust noise are superimposed and offset, ultimately achieving efficient noise reduction.
[0061] The present application realizes efficient noise reduction and stable operation through three processes: multi-stage speed reduction, active and passive coordinated noise reduction, and kinetic energy conversion. The multi-stage step-by-step speed reduction is formed by the conical expansion of the inlet pipe 110, the rectification and backflow interference of the honeycomb turbulence noise reduction component 210, the extended path of the porous sound absorption confluence module 240 of the spiral injection speed reduction component 220, and the spiral guide switch module 250, which gradually reduces the kinetic energy and impact force of the airflow, thereby reducing the noise generation; among them, the porous sound absorption confluence module 240 reduces the airflow vibration noise by diversion and multiple sound absorption, and the kinetic energy vortex is further reduced. The wheel conversion component 230 converts the kinetic energy of the airflow into mechanical kinetic energy, reduces the airflow impact noise, and cooperates with the active noise reduction at the tail end of the noise reduction section pipe 120 to accurately offset the residual noise. The active and passive combination greatly improves the noise reduction effect. In addition, the overflow hole 216 of the honeycomb spoiler noise reduction component 210 is used to balance the pressure, the directional guide of the spiral guide switch module 250, and the airflow integration of the cutting diversion module are used to ensure the stability of the airflow flow and avoid local turbulence to generate secondary noise. While effectively reducing noise, it does not significantly increase the exhaust resistance, taking into account both the noise reduction effect and the smoothness of engine exhaust.
