[0042] An embodiment of the present invention aims to propose a muffler design method, which is applied to the field of automotive technology. Specifically, the intake system is one of the main noise sources of an automobile. The internal combustion engine converts the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy through combustion to drive the automobile to run. A large amount of air is consumed during operation. The intake system is responsible for providing the required air for the engine. In addition to providing clean and sufficient air for the engine, the intake system also needs to reduce the noise transmitted from the engine end. In the prior art, the muffler needs to be adaptively adjusted according to the noise frequency of the engine to meet the elimination of the noise in a certain frequency band of the engine. In the development stage of the muffler structure, software analysis means are generally adopted.

[0043] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior muffler design method, an embodiment of the present invention aims to provide a muffler design method, which detects the engine parameters of the engine, predicts the inlet pipe orifice noise of the initial intake system according to the engine parameters, and determines the required muffler center frequency according to the inlet pipe orifice noise; obtains a plurality of pre-stored muffler size templates, selects the target muffler size template that meets the intake system design space among them, and extracts a plurality of design parameters in the target muffler size template; sets the virtual environment working condition, inputs the muffler center frequency and a plurality of the design parameters, and selects one of the plurality of design parameters as the single variable parameter for testing; according to the virtual environment working condition, tests the single variable parameter to generate the best design parameter corresponding to the single variable parameter. By means of inputting the design structure parameters, the design and adjustment are carried out for the required noise reduction frequency, greatly shortening the design and development cycle and cost of the intake system.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows the flowchart of the muffler design method in the first embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S101, detect the engine parameters of the engine, predict the inlet pipe orifice noise of the initial intake system according to the engine parameters, and determine the required muffler center frequency according to the inlet pipe orifice noise;

[0047] Specifically, the engine combustion efficiency, power performance, and fuel economy are extracted from the engine parameters. Engine analysis is performed on the engine combustion efficiency, power performance, and fuel economy through an engine thermodynamic model to obtain an engine analysis result. Based on the pipeline acoustics and the engine data, the inlet pipe noise frequency band of the initial intake system is predicted, and the required silencing center frequency is determined according to this noise frequency band. Assuming that the actually measured noise frequency band is between 1800 and 2500 Hz, two-frequency cavities are designed so that the silencing center frequencies are close to 1800 Hz and 2500 Hz.

[0048] Step S102: Obtain multiple pre-stored silencer size templates, select the target silencer size template that meets the intake system design space, and extract multiple design parameters from the target silencer size template.

[0049] Specifically, according to the known test boundaries and pipeline interfaces, the effective space of the silencer is determined. The silencer size template that meets the vehicle design is selected according to the effective space of the silencer. In addition, different specifications of silencers can be selected according to the required silencer center frequency, such as expansion cavity, Helmholtz resonator, wavelength tube, or perforated resonator type silencers.

[0050] Step S103: Set the virtual environment working conditions, input the silencer center frequency and multiple design parameters, and select one of the multiple design parameters as the single variable parameter for testing.

[0051] Specifically, after selecting the silencer size template, according to the known boundaries and pipeline interfaces, some determined design parameters can be obtained. The adjustable design parameters in the silencer are selected as the single variable parameter to meet the design requirements for the silencer center frequency.

[0052] Step S104: Test the single variable parameter according to the virtual environment working conditions to generate the optimal design parameter corresponding to the single variable parameter.

[0053] Specifically, enter the silencer calculation formula in a self-made Excel table, calculate the required single variable by setting the relevant design parameters of the silencer and the required silencer frequency, and then obtain the optimal design parameter of the silencer.

[0054] According to the above muffler design method, by pre-detecting the engine parameters of the engine, predicting the inlet pipe noise of the intake system based on the engine parameters, determining the required center frequency of the muffler according to the inlet pipe noise, selecting the muffler size template that meets the design space of the intake system, extracting multiple design parameters from the muffler size template, then setting the virtual environment conditions, inputting the center frequency of the muffler and multiple design parameters, and selecting one of the multiple design parameters as the single variable parameter for testing; according to the virtual environment conditions, testing the single variable parameter to generate the optimal design parameter corresponding to the single variable parameter, and through the means of inputting design structure parameters, designing and adjusting for the required silencing frequency, greatly shortening the design and development cycle and cost of the intake system, and solving the technical problems of long development cycle and high cost in the muffler structure design in the prior art.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] The muffler design method in the second embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S11, detecting the engine parameters of the engine, predicting the inlet pipe noise of the initial intake system according to the engine parameters, and determining the required center frequency of the muffler according to the inlet pipe noise;

[0058] Step S12, obtaining multiple pre-stored muffler size templates, selecting the muffler size template that meets the design space of the intake system, and extracting multiple design parameters from the muffler size template;

[0059] Step S13, setting the virtual environment conditions, inputting the center frequency of the muffler and multiple design parameters, and selecting one of the multiple design parameters as the single variable parameter for testing;

[0060] Step S14, testing the single variable parameter according to the virtual environment conditions to generate the optimal design parameter corresponding to the single variable parameter.

[0061] It should be noted that for the parts not described in steps S11, S12 and S13 in this embodiment, reference can be made to the first embodiment.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment, in step S13, the steps of setting the virtual environment conditions, inputting the center frequency of the muffler and multiple design parameters, and selecting one of the multiple design parameters as the single variable parameter for testing specifically include:

Select one of the parameters of the inner diameter of the main pipe, the inner diameter of the cavity, the wall thickness, the length of the center pipe, the perforation diameter, and the number of perforations as the single variable parameter.

[0064] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , which shows the transmission loss curve of the perforated resonator cavity. The structural design of the muffler for the perforated resonator cavity in this solution is generally used in combination. Under the condition of ensuring a certain muffling amplitude, it can solve the problems of broadband, medium and high frequency noise, and is mostly applied to the air filter outlet pipe and the intercooler outlet pipe. Some are also applied to the inside of the air filter.

[0065] In practical applications, the current required muffling frequency is 1800 - 2500 Hz. Input the basic parameters in the transmission loss Excel analysis table, and design two-frequency cavities by adjusting parameters such as the muffling cavity volume and the perforation area, so that their center frequencies are close to 1800 Hz and 2500 Hz. It should be noted that the problem after supercharging is relatively high, which affects the air flow velocity, resulting in a shift of the center frequency. Here, the gas temperature after supercharging needs to be input (about 400 Hz shift at 150 °C compared to normal temperature). To better complete the NVH test, the center frequency can be shifted and several more sets of solutions can be made. The following shows a table of one of the perforated resonator cavity calculations as shown in Table 1:

The structural design of the muffler for the wavelength pipe in this solution is mainly used to solve a single frequency and is mostly applied to the air filter outlet pipe. The following shows a calculation table for one of the wavelength pipes as shown in Table 3:
