Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor noise reduction accessories, and in particular to a compressor intake noise reduction device. Background Technology

[0002] As the core power component of refrigeration systems such as refrigerators and air conditioners, the compressor needs to continuously draw in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas through its suction port during operation. However, the high-speed airflow pulsation and mechanical vibration inside the compressor generate noise, which is easily radiated outward through the suction channel, becoming one of the main sources of noise in the refrigeration equipment. To suppress the propagation of noise on the suction side, existing technologies typically incorporate a silencer at the suction port. Common structures include a single expansion chamber or an internal tube, utilizing abrupt changes in cross-section or the principle of sound wave interference to attenuate noise in specific frequency bands.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned silencers have the following two technical limitations in practical applications: First, in terms of the design of the air inlet, existing silencers mostly adopt open-type or large-diameter grilles. Although this form is simple in structure, the large gas inflow cross section leads to a low and uneven airflow velocity. At the same time, due to the large area of ​​a single hole, the throttling pressure drop effect when the gas passes through is not obvious, and the increase in flow velocity is limited, resulting in a relatively large specific volume of gas entering the compressor, which to some extent restricts the effective improvement of the compressor's unit volume cooling capacity. Second, in terms of the internal cavity layout, the existing silencer structure is relatively simple. Although a single expansion cavity can attenuate specific narrowband noise, it is not strong enough to suppress broadband turbulence and airflow regeneration noise caused by high-speed airflow. Especially when the compressor is under high load and the intake flow rate increases significantly, the airflow turbulence inside the single cavity intensifies, making it difficult to take into account both the functions of airflow buffering and sound energy attenuation. Instead, it is easy to cause eddy current loss or secondary noise radiation, making the contradiction between noise reduction performance and intake efficiency increasingly prominent.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a compressor intake silencer that can both avoid the loss of intake energy and effectively reduce the operating noise of the compressor is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a compressor suction silencing device, which solves the technical problem that existing compressor suction silencing devices cannot simultaneously achieve rapid suction and efficient silencing.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a compressor suction silencing device, comprising: a silencing box for holding the compressor, wherein the silencing box has independently distributed airflow buffer chamber and resonance silencing chamber and has an air intake channel connecting the airflow buffer chamber and the resonance silencing chamber; the compressor is placed in the resonance silencing chamber; the silencing box is provided with a plurality of air intake holes arranged in a honeycomb pattern on the side wall corresponding to the airflow buffer chamber and an air outlet hole is provided at the top of the resonance silencing chamber, so that outside air is first drawn into the airflow buffer chamber through the plurality of air intake holes, and then the air in the airflow buffer chamber is drawn into the resonance silencing chamber through the air intake channel.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting independent airflow buffer chambers and resonance silencing chambers inside the silencer box, and opening honeycomb-shaped spaced air intake holes on the side wall of the airflow buffer chamber, on the one hand, multiple small-diameter air intake holes replace the traditional large-diameter open structure, increasing the throttling pressure drop effect when the gas flows in, thereby effectively increasing the refrigerant gas flow rate and reducing the gas specific volume, which is beneficial to increasing the compressor's unit volume cooling capacity; on the other hand, the honeycomb arrangement makes the intake distribution more uniform, avoiding eddy losses caused by local velocity concentration, and suppressing intake pulsating noise radiation from the source; in addition, by using the front and rear separation arrangement of the airflow buffer chamber and the resonance silencing chamber, the airflow first passes through the buffer chamber for expansion and deceleration before entering the compressor intake port, and then enters the resonance silencing chamber after being guided by the intake channel. This can not only avoid intake flow loss and effectively buffer high-speed pulsating airflow, but also reduce the compressor's operating noise while suppressing turbulent noise and airflow regeneration noise in the resonance silencing chamber, thereby making the airflow more stable and orderly.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the silencer box is also provided with an independently distributed diversion silencer chamber inside between the airflow buffer chamber and the resonance silencer chamber, and the diversion silencer chamber is located above the air intake channel; the silencer box is provided with a vent hole on the pipe wall corresponding to the air intake channel, which communicates with the diversion silencer chamber, so as to divert the large flow of air drawn in from the air intake channel.

[0010] The further beneficial effects of adopting the above are as follows: by adding an independently distributed diversion silencer chamber and arranging it above the intake channel, and using the vent holes on the intake channel wall to connect with the intake channel, when the compressor is under high load or the intake flow rate increases significantly, some of the excess airflow can be diverted into the diversion silencer chamber through the vent holes for expansion, pressure reduction and sound energy attenuation. This effectively avoids the problems of excessive flow velocity, increased pressure pulsation and local eddy current loss caused by the accumulation of large flow of air in the intake channel. Thus, while ensuring sufficient intake volume of the compressor, it significantly reduces the impact noise of high-speed airflow on the cavity wall and the noise generated by turbulence.

[0011] Furthermore, the silencer also includes a handle, the bottom end of which is fixed to the top of the cover.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a vent pipe and a capacity-enhancing shell. One open end of the vent pipe is inserted into the air outlet of the silencer box. The interior of the capacity-enhancing shell is a capacity-enhancing and silencing cavity, and its shell wall is provided with a connection hole and an exhaust hole. The other open end of the vent pipe is fixedly connected to the connection hole of the capacity-enhancing shell.

[0013] The further beneficial effects of the above are: by adding a vent pipe and an expansion shell, the airflow discharged from the vent of the silencer box is introduced into the expansion and silencer chamber inside the expansion shell through the vent pipe. The abrupt change in the cross-section of the expansion and silencer chamber is used to perform secondary expansion and pressure reduction on the airflow on the outlet side and attenuate the sound wave reflection, which effectively suppresses the noise radiation from the outlet caused by the compressor exhaust pulsation and high-speed airflow, and further reduces the operating noise of the compressor.
