[0042] The first sound absorption unit 110 is specifically composed of a first sound absorption unit body 111 and at least one perforated boss 112 arranged on one side of the first sound absorption unit body 111. Preferably, the perforated bosses 112 are arranged in rows and / or columns on one side of the first sound absorption unit body 111, and adjacent perforated bosses 112 are left with gaps to facilitate the clamping of the second sound absorption unit 120. Preferably, the perforated bosses 112 can also be arranged on the opposite two sides of the first sound absorption unit body 111.

[0043] The second sound absorption unit 120 is sleeved on the perforated boss 112 of the first sound absorption unit 110 through the through hole 121, so that the first sound absorption unit 110 and the second sound absorption unit 120 are arranged in close contact.

[0046] The noise reduction structure provided in the embodiment can preliminarily absorb incident sound energy through the first sound absorption unit, and can perform secondary absorption of noise through the cooperation of the first sound absorption unit and the second sound absorption unit arranged in close contact, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.

[0047] The at least one perforated boss 112 arranged on the first sound absorption unit 110 can clamp the second sound absorption unit 120, thereby facilitating the assembly of the first sound absorption unit 110 and the second sound absorption unit 120.

[0048] Specifically, the noise reduction structure further comprises:

[0049] A mounting plate 130 is arranged in close contact with the top surface of the perforated boss 112.

[0050] The mounting plate 130 and the second sound absorption unit 120 form a sound insulation cavity 140.

[0051] The noise reduction structure provided in the embodiment can form a sound insulation cavity 140 between the mounting plate 130 and the second sound absorption unit 120 in the assembled state by arranging at least one perforated boss 112 on the first sound absorption unit 110 and arranging the mounting plate 130 in close contact with the top surface of the perforated boss 112, and the sound insulation cavity is filled with air medium, so that the air medium and the perforated boss 112 are arranged alternately, thereby alternately blocking the noise and gradually attenuating the noise.

[0052] The noise reduction structure provided by the embodiment is provided with the first sound absorption unit and the second sound absorption unit, and forms a sound insulation cavity with the mounting plate, so that the noise is first weakened by the first sound absorption unit, then weakened by the second sound absorption unit, and then weakened again by the staggered arrangement structure of the sound insulation cavity and the perforated boss, forming a three-level sound absorption structure, and the noise is blocked layer by layer by the barriers.

[0053] Specifically, the perforated boss 112 is provided with a through hole 1122 inside; the mounting plate 130 is provided with a communication hole 131 at a position corresponding to the through hole 1122, and the through hole 1122 and the communication hole 131 are in communication.

[0054] The noise reduction structure provided by the embodiment is provided with the through hole 1122 and the communication hole 131, so that the relative two sides of the noise reduction structure in the through direction can realize communication, facilitating air circulation, so that the noise reduction structure can be applied to a working environment requiring air circulation.

[0055] Preferably, the perforated boss 112 is provided with a through hole 1122 inside, so that the perforated boss 112 forms a boss wall 1121 between the through hole 1122 and the sound insulation cavity 140, the boss wall 1121 serves as a barrier between the sound insulation cavity 140 and the through hole 1122, and the area between the mounting plate 130 and the second sound absorption unit forms a good sound absorption structure with the cavity and the staggered sound insulation material, thereby layering the noise.

[0056] Specifically, the first sound absorption unit 110 includes sound absorption sponge.

[0057] Preferably, the first sound absorption unit is configured as a loose porous structure, and the sound absorption material of the porous structure has little reflection of incident sound energy, which means that sound energy is easy to enter and penetrate through such material; the material of such material is porous, loose and breathable, and the porous sound absorption material is usually made of fibrous, granular or foamed material to form a porous structure; the structural feature is that the material has a large number of, interpenetrating, from the surface to the micro-pores, that is, has a certain air permeability. When the sound wave is incident on the surface of the porous material, the air in the micro-pores vibrates, and due to the friction resistance and the viscous resistance of the air and the heat conduction effect, a part of the sound energy is converted into heat energy, thereby playing a sound absorption role.

[0058] Preferably, the sound absorption sponge is processed from melamine foam.

[0059] Specifically, the first sound absorption unit 110 can further include other loose porous materials, such as slag wool or glass wool or felt or blanket, etc. The sound absorption mechanism thereof is that sound waves penetrate into the pores of the material, and the pores are mostly open holes internally interconnected, which are subjected to air molecule friction and viscous resistance, and the fine fibers are mechanically vibrated, so that sound energy is converted into heat energy.

[0060] Specifically, the second sound absorption unit 120 includes a sound absorption board. By arranging the sound absorption board in combination with the sound absorption sponge, the noise is further absorbed in two stages.

The greater the unit area density of the sound insulation material, the greater the sound insulation volume, and the area density is proportional to the sound insulation volume.

[0062] The sound absorption coefficient of the porous sound absorption material generally gradually increases from low frequency to high frequency, so the sound absorption effect on high frequency and medium frequency sound is good. When an air layer is left behind the porous sound absorption material, low frequency can also be absorbed. The noise reduction structure provided in the embodiment is sequentially arranged in three layers of the first sound absorption unit 110, the second sound absorption unit 120, and the sound insulation cavity 140, and first absorbs the medium and high frequency noise through the porous sound absorption material, and then absorbs the low frequency noise through the sound insulation cavity.

[0072] Specifically, the air outlet of the air purifier is formed by the through hole 1122 on the first sound absorption unit 110 and the communication hole 131 on the mounting plate 130.
