[0002] In the aircraft's voice circuit, the noise reduction module's acquisition circuit has a limited requirement for the voice volume. To avoid clipping distortion caused by the input voice exceeding the range, the voice volume input to the noise reduction circuit is limited to 90mV. At this time, the noise reduction circuit can eliminate most of the noise by running spectral subtraction, MMSE algorithm, Wiener filtering algorithm, and VAD algorithm. At this time, the output signal of the noise reduction module is 110mV.

[0003] Measurements of the noise-reduced voice revealed that noise at 14 frequency points, including 1167Hz, 1772Hz, 1270Hz, 1375Hz, 1700Hz, 1900Hz, 2260Hz, 2550Hz, 2924Hz, 3410Hz, 3600Hz, 3600Hz, 3850Hz, and 4406Hz, could not be completely filtered out. The output voice from the noise reduction module on the aircraft's voice circuit was relatively unclear, and the volume of the voice decreased to some extent after processing by the noise reduction module.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the main body of the amplifier circuit device consists of one operational amplifier circuit 1D4, five resistors R1 to R5, and three capacitors C1 to C3. This operational amplifier is a negative feedback operational amplifier, wherein R1, R4, and R5 provide the midpoint voltage used by the operational amplifier, C3 filters the midpoint voltage, and the ratio of R3 to R2 determines the amplification factor of this operational amplifier.

[0011] Preferably, C2 couples the output, isolates the output DC voltage, and C1, together with the operational amplifier, forms a filter circuit to filter out high-frequency signals above 50kHz.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the filter body is provided with a wiring tube, and fixing blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the filter column. A reciprocating screw is rotatably installed on one side of the surface of the fixing block, and an adjusting block is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating screw.

[0015] Compared with related technologies, the rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention provides a rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital in-flight communication system. The device uses an internal noise reduction module employing spectral subtraction, MMSE, Wiener filtering, and VAD algorithms to initially filter out some engine and rotor noise generated during helicopter flight, collected by the microphone. A voice acquisition chip and an ARM processor then collect the remaining voice signal, which still contains some rotor noise after noise reduction. A comb filtering algorithm specific to the aircraft model, running within the ARM processor, performs a secondary filter on the rotor noise that was not initially filtered out.

[0030] The main body 3 of the voice acquisition and filtering circuit device includes a 1D2 voice acquisition chip TLV320AIC3106, a 1D3 ARM processor STM32F429ZIT6, and two coupling capacitors 1C1 and 1C2.

[0031] The main body 4 of the amplifier circuit device consists of one operational amplifier circuit 1D4, five resistors R1 to R5, and three capacitors C1 to C3. This operational amplifier is a negative feedback operational amplifier. R1, R4, and R5 provide the midpoint voltage used by the operational amplifier, C3 filters the midpoint voltage, and the ratio of R3 to R2 determines the amplification factor of this operational amplifier.

[0032] The C2 couples the output and isolates the DC voltage output. C1, together with the operational amplifier, forms a filter circuit to filter out high-frequency signals above 50kHz.

[0033] After the voice signal with some noise filtered out is input, a comb filter for different models is used to filter out the remaining noise signal a second time.

[0034] The ARM processor communicates with the voice acquisition chip via an SPI bus, controlling the chip to acquire voice signals, which are denoted as X(n). Noise data is collected from the aircraft, and the frequencies to be filtered out throughout the flight are identified as follows: 1167Hz, 1772Hz, 1270Hz, 1375Hz, 1700Hz, 1900Hz, 2260Hz, 2550Hz, 2924Hz, 3410Hz, 3600Hz, 3600Hz, 3850Hz, and 4406Hz.

[0035] Based on the above frequency points, design a comb filter with a bandwidth of 10Hz and a maximum attenuation of 50dB. The filter design formula is as follows: .

[0036] The main body of the amplifier circuit device 4 consists of one operational amplifier circuit 1D4, five resistors R1 to R5, and three capacitors C1 to C3. This operational amplifier is a negative feedback operational amplifier. R1, R4, and R5 provide the midpoint voltage used by the operational amplifier. C3 filters the midpoint voltage. The ratio of R3 to R2 determines the amplification factor of this operational amplifier. C2 couples the output and isolates the DC voltage of the output. C1 and the operational amplifier form a filter circuit to filter out high-frequency signals above 50kHz.

[0037] The working principle of the rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0038] During operation, the noise reduction module, which uses internal spectral subtraction, MMSE, Wiener filtering, and VAD algorithms, first filters out some of the engine and rotor noise that occurs during helicopter flight, which is collected by the microphone. After the microphone is input, the noise signal is filtered out using spectral subtraction, MMSE, and Wiener filtering algorithms. Finally, the VAD algorithm is used to shut down the noise that cannot be completely filtered out.

[0039] The voice acquisition chip and ARM processor acquire the voice signal, which still contains some rotor noise after being processed by the noise reduction module. The comb filtering algorithm for specific models running inside the ARM processor is used to perform secondary filtering on the rotor noise that was not filtered out in the first stage. The filtered voice is amplified by the operational amplifier circuit and then sent to the back-end circuit.

[0042] Second Embodiment

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on the rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0044] Specifically, the second embodiment of this application provides a rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system, which differs in that the rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system has a wiring tube 10 on the surface of the filter body 1, and fixed blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the filter column 1. A reciprocating screw 12 is rotatably installed on one side of the surface of the fixed block 11, and an adjusting block is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating screw 12. A limit rod 17 is fixedly installed on the other side of the surface of the fixed block 11.

[0045] Both sides of the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw 12 are threaded with threaded blocks 14, and a clamping plate 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the threaded block 14.

[0046] A buffer pad 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping plate 15, and the buffer pad 16 is made of rubber.

[0047] The working principle of the rotor noise filtering device for a helicopter digital intercom system provided by this utility model is as follows:

By rotating the adjusting block 13, the reciprocating screw 12 is driven to rotate. The reciprocating screw 12 rotates and engages with two threaded blocks 14 on its outer surface, which move synchronously in opposite directions. This causes two clamping plates 15 to clamp the connecting wires connected to the surface of the connector 10. This device has a simple structure and is highly practical. When connecting external wires to the connector 10, the connection is restricted, maintaining the stability of the external wires during installation, preventing external forces from pulling out the wires, and improving the stability of the wire connection.
