Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a noise reduction device, a volute and a range hood air duct system. Background Art

[0002] The noise generated by the range hood during operation is mainly composed of two parts. The first is the vibration noise generated by the vibration of the range hood air duct system itself. The second is the aerodynamic noise generated by the continuous flow of air in the operation process and the flow inside the air duct system. Specifically, the noise-generating components of the range hood mainly include the motor, impeller, and the air duct system mainly composed of a volute. Driven by the motor, the impeller stably inputs the airflow into the air duct system. The airflow separates from the impeller surface and is discharged from the inlet to the outlet through the air duct system. In the process, the vibration of the motor and the separation of the airflow from the impeller surface and the volute surface can generate a certain degree of noise.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of technology, people have higher and higher requirements for the noise performance level of range hoods. At present, there are three main effective ways to reduce the noise of the range hood air duct system:

[0004] First, optimize the range hood air duct system itself, mainly including modifying the volute profile, optimizing the volute tongue, changing the shape and number of impellers. The specific modification method is generally calculated by equations. Although this method is relatively stable and will not cause noise reduction performance degradation during use, its own optimization must match other components in the air duct. In addition, the modification needs to be performed on the original mold, which will increase the mold cost and the problem of too many modified parts. More importantly, using this method for noise reduction cannot achieve a significant noise reduction effect;

[0005] Second, add a guide device inside the range hood air duct system. The main implementation method is to design some components according to the internal structure of the household range hood and the path of gas flow, and install the components to the corresponding parts to guide the airflow, so that the scattered and colliding airflows can be as orderly as possible, thereby reducing the noise caused by turbulence. This solution has a relatively good noise reduction effect, but because it is implemented according to the internal structure of the range hood, the same guide structure installed in another slightly different range hood may have no effect at all, resulting in poor versatility;

[0006] Third, perforate the surface of the air duct system to add sound-absorbing cotton. First, perform laser micro-perforation on the surface of the volute of the air duct system to make its surface have a regularly arranged array of small holes, and then attach the sound-absorbing cotton thereto and fix it with glue or a stainless steel bracket to achieve the effect of absorbing the radiated noise from the surface of the air duct system. This method consumes the energy of sound during the propagation of sound, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction. Although this method is simpler to implement, more cost-effective, and more versatile than the first two methods, and can achieve a more effective noise reduction function, this noise reduction scheme mainly relies on the tiny holes inside the sound-absorbing cotton to absorb sound, so during use, the sound-absorbing cotton gradually absorbs oil droplets, resulting in the gradual loss of noise reduction effect. In addition, the noise reduction effect that can be achieved by this noise reduction method is not very good, that is, there is still a technical problem of limited noise reduction effect.

[0007] At present, the noise reduction design related structures applied to the air duct system have at least the technical problems of not being able to simultaneously achieve effective noise reduction effect, simple implementation, cost saving, good versatility, and noise reduction effect that is not easily lost. Summary of the invention

[0039] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] This embodiment provides a noise reduction device, referring to Figure 1 The noise reduction device includes a porous plate 110 and a cover plate 120; a vibration-damping particle layer 131 and / or an air bag layer 132 filled with an inert gas is arranged between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate 120.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment has the following implementation modes:

[0043] The first embodiment is: a vibration-damping particle layer 131 is provided between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate, and the above-mentioned airbag layer 132 filled with inert gas is not provided; the second embodiment is: an airbag layer 132 filled with inert gas is provided between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate, and the above-mentioned vibration-damping particle layer 131 is not provided; the third embodiment is: both the vibration-damping particle layer 131 and the airbag layer 132 filled with inert gas are provided between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate.

[0044] Among them, in the vibration-damping particle layer 131, the gaps between adjacent vibration-damping particles form a plurality of irregular cavities, and the air inside the cavity can oscillate under the action of sound waves, thereby effectively converting the energy of the sound waves into the heat energy of air oscillation. Since the noise band of the intermediate frequency is relatively wide, the above-mentioned irregular air cavity structure can just cover the noise of the intermediate frequency band as widely as possible and effectively absorb it; in the airbag layer 132, the inert gas itself has a relatively good sound insulation performance. When the sound wave passes through the inert gas, the amplitude of the inert gas itself is smaller than that of the air. Therefore, the inert gas, as a sound transmission medium, can effectively weaken the vibration energy of the sound wave. Among them, the airbag layer 132 has a relatively good sound insulation performance. When the sound wave passes through the inert gas, the amplitude of the inert gas itself is smaller than that of the air. Therefore, the inert gas, as a sound transmission medium, can effectively weaken the vibration energy of the sound wave. The airbag of the bag layer 132 can be made of but not limited to butyl rubber, nitrile or silicone, etc. Butyl rubber is preferably used, which has good air tightness and damping function, and can effectively convert mechanical vibration energy into heat energy, thereby dissipating the vibration energy of the air duct system structure installed with the noise reduction device, and reducing part of the noise generated by mechanical vibration. In addition, when sound passes through the interface between different media, the sound transmission between two different media will be attenuated. The air, the airbag, and the inert gas inside the airbag can form multiple heterogeneous interfaces, which can also further dissipate the energy of the sound. The inert gas in the airbag can be helium or other inert gases.

[0045] In the present embodiment, firstly, when the sound wave propagates to the porous plate 110, it will cause the air inside the openings on the porous plate 110 to oscillate, thereby effectively converting the energy of the sound wave vibration into the energy of the air oscillation, thereby effectively reducing the noise; secondly, the openings on the porous plate 110 and the air at the surrounding boundaries form a structure similar to a Helmholtz resonator, which can form a resonant sound-absorbing structure with better effect, which can effectively absorb low-frequency noise, and then absorb the noise propagated thereto together with the porous plate 110, and the absorbed noise frequency band is mainly low-frequency; thirdly, the sound wave passes through the above-mentioned vibration-damping particle layer 131 and / or the air bag layer 132 filled with inert gas arranged between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate 120, thereby further absorbing the noise; finally, the cover plate 120 itself also absorbs a certain amount of noise.

[0046] The noise reduction device provided in this embodiment has a good noise reduction effect and can be applied to the parts of the air duct system structure that are far away from oil pollution. It has at least the beneficial effects of excellent noise reduction effect, simple implementation, cost saving, good versatility, and its noise reduction effect will not be affected by oil pollution and is not easy to fail.

[0047] In the present embodiment, the specific structural forms of the vibration-damping particles in the above-mentioned vibration-damping particle layer 131 are various, such as but not limited to solid particles or hollow particles made of sponge material, rubber material or other materials. In the present embodiment, the vibration-damping particles in the above-mentioned vibration-damping particle layer 131 are made of sponge or other loose porous sound-absorbing materials. The air inside the pores of the vibration-damping particles made of loose porous sound-absorbing materials will vibrate under the vibration of sound waves, and convert the energy of sound waves into heat energy generated by air viscous friction, thereby effectively absorbing the energy of intermediate frequency noise. When sound passes through the interface between different media, sound transmission between two different media will also be attenuated. The heterogeneous interface between the vibration-damping particles and the air formed between the air in the pores of the vibration-damping particles themselves and the vibration-damping particle entities can further effectively attenuate the energy of sound when passing through the interface, thereby reducing noise.

[0048] In this embodiment, the vibration-damping particle layer 131 includes at least two spherical particles with different diameters, for example but not limited to four sizes of spherical particles, namely 10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm, and 4 mm, and the four sizes of small balls are evenly mixed. After mixing, squeezing is allowed between the small balls. The air in the pores formed by the contact between the multiple spherical particles and the heterogeneous interfaces formed between the spherical particles and the air can further effectively attenuate the energy of sound when passing through the interface, thereby reducing noise; and these spherical particles themselves have smooth edges and small volumes, and can be displaced slightly in a limited space with vibration. When the noise reduction device is installed on a volute or other air duct system structure, the energy of the vibration of the air duct system structure can be converted into heat energy through the friction generated by the displacement of these spherical particles, thereby consuming the energy of the vibration of the air duct system structure on which the noise reduction device is installed, thereby further reducing the noise.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the diameter of the openings on the porous plate 110 and the spacing between two adjacent openings can be arranged as needed. In order to improve the effect of the above-mentioned structure of the present embodiment on absorbing noise in the medium and high frequency bands, in a more preferred implementation manner of the present embodiment, the diameter of each opening on the porous plate 110 is 4.9mm-5.1mm, and / or, the spacing between two adjacent openings on the porous plate 110 is 11.4mm-11.6mm. Preferably, the diameter of each opening on the porous plate 110 is 5mm, and / or, the spacing between two adjacent openings on the porous plate 110 is 11.5mm, wherein "and / or" means that the diameter of each opening on the porous plate 110 and the spacing between two adjacent openings on the porous plate 110 are simultaneously or selectively set to the above-mentioned corresponding lengths respectively, and the two adjacent openings can be arranged side by side or staggered.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to further enhance the noise reduction effect, for the structure between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate, the aforementioned third embodiment is preferably adopted, that is, a vibration-damping particle layer 131 and an airbag layer 132 filled with inert gas are simultaneously arranged between the porous plate 110 and the cover plate, and further, the vibration-damping particle layer 131 is arranged between the porous plate 110 and the airbag layer 132, and the airbag layer 132 is arranged between the vibration-damping particle layer 131 and the cover plate 120.

[0051] In this embodiment, the airbag layer 132 and the cover plate 120 are spaced apart from each other to form a first cavity 101 between the airbag layer 132 and the cover plate 120 . By providing the first cavity 101 , the air layer can be used to further consume the energy of the sound wave.

[0052] Preferably, the volume ratio of the air in the first cavity 101, the vibration-damping particles in the vibration-damping particle layer 131, and the airbags in the airbag layer 132 is 1:5:6 to 1.5:5:15, that is, in terms of volume, the first cavity 101 accounts for 7%-8%, the vibration-damping particle layer 131 accounts for 23%-42%, and the airbag layer 132 accounts for 50%-70%. Taking the installation of the noise reduction device provided in the preferred embodiment in the air duct volute of the range hood as an example, according to the noise spectrum test, the larger noise frequency range in the range hood is 200-1000HZ, of which the main peak parts are in the range of 200-220HZ, 800-900HZ, and 1000-1100HZ. Figure 2 As shown, in each order structure composed of the first cavity 101, the vibration-damping particle layer 131 and the airbag layer 132 of the present embodiment, there is its own resonant frequency. When the incident sound wave reaches the resonant frequency, the change of the sound pressure in the cavity will cause the air column to oscillate up and down, and most of the sound energy will be consumed by the viscous friction between the air in the cavity and the cavity surface, and in the gaps between adjacent vibration-damping particles. Furthermore, the combined structure of the first cavity 101, the vibration-damping particle layer 131 and the airbag layer 132 is similar to a multi-order resonant metasurface sound-absorbing structure, and an equivalent circuit diagram can be used to simulate the multi-order sound-absorbing structure. Specifically, refer to Figure 3 , after being simplified into an equivalent circuit diagram, it can be known that the equivalent acoustic impedance of the combined structure of the first cavity 101, the vibration-damping particle layer 131 and the airbag layer 132 is:

[0053] in:

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] Substituting the target frequency bands 200 Hz and 800 Hz into formula (a), we can obtain the corresponding volume ratio λ 1-2 =(u2 / u1)f i =1:5. Similarly, substituting the target frequency bands 800HZ and 1000HZ into formula (a), we can obtain the corresponding volume ratio λ 2-3 =(u3 / u2)f i=0.83:1, and combining the three can obtain that the corresponding volume ratio relationship of the air in the first cavity 101, the vibration-damping particles in the vibration-damping particle layer 131, and the airbags in the airbag layer 132 is 1:5:6, which can reduce the noise in the target frequency range of 200HZ, 800HZ, and 1000HZ; substituting the target frequency range of 220HZ, 900HZ, and 1100HZ in the same way, it can be obtained that the corresponding volume ratio relationship of the air in the first cavity 101, the vibration-damping particles in the vibration-damping particle layer 131, and the airbags in the airbag layer 132 is 1.5:5:15, which can reduce the noise in the target frequency range of 220HZ, 900HZ, and 1100HZ, so that the present embodiment can achieve the best noise reduction effect when installed on the volute of the air duct system of the range hood.

[0057] In this embodiment, the corresponding setting heights of the first cavity 101 , the vibration-damping particle layer 131 and the airbag layer 132 are not specifically limited, wherein the height refers to the distance in the direction extending from the porous plate 110 toward the cover plate 120 .

[0058] In this embodiment, there are many specific connection methods for the cover plate 120 to be connected to the porous plate 110, such as but not limited to: Figure 1 As shown, the edge of the porous plate 110 is integrally formed or welded or otherwise connected with a flange 111, and the cover plate 120 is connected to the flange 111. Specifically, the edge of the cover plate 120 can be connected to the flange 111 by, but not limited to, welding, clamping, bonding, screws or other connection methods, and the edge of the cover plate 120 can also be provided with an edge extending toward the porous plate 110, and the cover plate 120 is connected to the porous plate 110 through the edge.

Specifically, the flange 111 can be welded or clamped or connected to the volute body 1 by screws or other connection methods.
