[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a noise reduction fan mesh cover includes an outer support ring 1, support bars 2, and an inner support ring 3. The support bars 2 are arranged on the outer support ring 1 and the inner support ring 3 to form a mesh cover. The support bars 2 are provided with a noise reduction mechanism. The noise reduction mechanism includes a plurality of first hollow tubes 4. One ends of adjacent first hollow tubes 4 are interconnected through second hollow tubes 5 to form a branch tube silencer structure. The other ends of the first hollow tubes 4 are provided with cutouts 6. The lengths of the first hollow tubes 4 are not exactly the same, so that after the original noise enters the first hollow tube 4, the phase changes due to the different internal and external sound propagation distances, which interferes with the original noise at the outlet to achieve a noise reduction effect.

[0027] After the original noise enters the first hollow tube 4, it intersects with the original noise entering from the adjacent first hollow tube 4 at the connection point between the first hollow tube 4 and the second hollow tube 5. Since part of the original noise only passes through the first hollow tube 4 to reach the connection point, while the other part of the original noise passes through the adjacent first hollow tube 4 and the second hollow tube 5 connected thereto to reach the connection point, due to the different sound propagation distances, the phase changes, and interference occurs at the intersection of two different waves, thereby achieving a noise reduction effect; or, the original noise enters from a certain cutout 6, passes through the first hollow tube 4 plus the second hollow tube 5 connected thereto, plus the first hollow tube 4 connected to the second hollow tube 5 and adjacent to the first hollow tube 4 where the original noise enters, and intersects with another new original noise that follows at the cutout 6 where the original noise exits. Since part of the noise passes through the hollow tubes and part does not, the phases are different, and interference occurs at the intersection of two different waves, thereby achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0028] A plurality of first hollow tubes 4 are connected to construct a plurality of branch pipe silencer structures, so that the plurality of silencer structures have a superimposed effect.

[0029] As a specific implementation, the second hollow tube 5 is arc-shaped.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, one end of several of the first hollow tubes 4 is arranged in a circular array, and the other end is arranged in an elliptical array, so that one end of the first hollow tube 4 is located on the circle, and the other end is located on the ellipse, thereby making the lengths of several of the first hollow tubes 4 not completely the same. In this embodiment, one end of the first hollow tube 4 located in the direction of the outer support ring 1 is located on the circle, and the end located in the inner support ring 3 is located on the ellipse. The first hollow tubes 4 are connected to form an ellipse to form branch pipe silencer structures of different lengths, which can adapt to different noise environments. Connecting multiple first hollow tubes 4 into an ellipse to construct branch pipe silencer structures of different lengths can increase the frequency range of noise reduction and improve the noise reduction effect. The noise reduction mechanism can be connected to the support bar 2 at both ends after the support bar 2 is broken, or it can be directly installed on the unbroken support bar 2; when the support bar 2 is broken, the support bar 2 is connected at both ends of the noise reduction mechanism, and its structure is the same as the structure described in the next paragraph.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, a notch for installing the noise reduction mechanism is provided in the middle of the support bar 2, so that the support bar 2 is decomposed into an inner support bar 202 located on the inner side and an outer support bar 201 located on the outer side, and the two ends of the noise reduction mechanism are respectively connected to the inner support bar 202 and the outer support bar 201, and the inner support bar 202 is arranged in an elliptical array, and the end of the inner support bar 202 is located on the ellipse, and the outer support bar 201 is arranged in a circular array, so that the lengths of several of the first hollow tubes 4 are not exactly the same.

[0032] A cross cavity 7 is formed at the connection between the first hollow tube 4 and the second hollow tube 5 . The outer support ring 1 is circular, the inner support ring 3 is circular, and the support bar 2 is a solid support bar 2 .

[0033] The inlet of the branch pipe silencer structure is a cutout 6 which smoothly transitions from the horizontal support bar 2 to the first hollow pipe 4 during installation.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the cutout (6) is located inside the mesh cover.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that one end of the plurality of first hollow tubes 4 is arranged in a spiral array, and the other end is arranged in an elliptical array, so that one end of the first hollow tube 4 is located on the spiral, and the other end is located on the ellipse, and then the lengths of the plurality of first hollow tubes 4 are not completely the same. Branch pipe silencer structures of different lengths are formed to adapt to different noise environments.

[0037] The working principle of the branch pipe silencer structure is as follows:

[0038] When the mainstream fluid noise reaches the mesh, part of it will enter the first hollow tube 4 from the cutout 6. Due to the different sound propagation distances inside and outside the first hollow tube 4, the sound waves of a certain frequency have different phases. When the cross cavity 7 or the cutout 6 is combined, the sound waves with opposite phases cancel each other out, thereby achieving the effect of silencing. The silencing principle formula is as follows:

[0039]

[0040] Among them, f is the resonance frequency of the first hollow tube, n=1,2…, c0 is the speed of sound, Δl is the sound path difference of two waves interfering with each other at the cross cavity 7, one wave path is the length of a first hollow tube 4, and the other wave path is the sum of the lengths of the second hollow tube 5 connected thereto and another first hollow tube 4 connected to the second hollow tube 5, or Δl is the total length of a branch tube, or Δl is the difference between the total length of a branch tube and the distance between the two incisions 6 thereon. When the mainstream noise reaches this frequency, the maximum sound-absorbing effect can be achieved.

[0041] A plurality of first hollow tubes 4 are connected in parallel to construct a plurality of branch pipe silencer structures, so that the plurality of silencer structures have a superimposed effect.

[0042] Among them, the first hollow tube 4 and the second hollow tube 5 can have the same material and diameter, but different curvature; they can also have the same diameter but different materials and curvature; they can also have different diameters, materials and curvatures, but can ensure smooth transition of sound transmission.

[0043] By connecting a plurality of first hollow tubes 4 into an ellipse and constructing a branch tube silencer structure with different lengths, the frequency range of noise reduction can be increased and the noise reduction effect can be improved.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the implementation mode and protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
