[0031] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in the following. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] Reference herein to“an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive or alternative embodiments. It is expressly understood that the embodiments described herein are combinable with each other.

[0033] In the following detailed description, directional terms such as“left”,“right”,“top”,“bottom”,“front”,“back” and the like are used with reference to the orientation of the figures described herein. The components of the embodiments of the present application can be oriented in various different directions, and the directional terms are used for the purpose of example and are not limiting.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides an active noise reduction method for an aircraft cabin, and the execution subject of the active noise reduction method for the aircraft cabin can be an active noise reduction device for the aircraft cabin provided by the embodiment of the present application, or an aircraft integrated with the active noise reduction device for the aircraft cabin. The active noise reduction device for the aircraft cabin can be realized in the form of hardware or software. The aircraft can be a commercial aircraft.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the active noise reduction method for the aircraft cabin provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. The specific process of the active noise reduction method for the aircraft cabin provided by the embodiment of the present application can be as follows:

[0036] 101, collect a plurality of vibration signals of the fuselage through a plurality of vibration sensors, and determine a reference signal according to the plurality of vibration signals.

[0037] When the aircraft is flying, the operation of the engine rotor and other components of the aircraft can cause the vibration of the aircraft structure at the position, such as the vibration of the structure of the hanging connection frame, the aircraft skin and the like. The vibration can cause the noise in the cabin. In order to prevent the passengers and the cabin crew from being affected by the noise when they are on the aircraft, the embodiment of the present application adopts the active noise reduction technology, generates a noise suppression signal which is opposite to the original noise signal through the analysis of the vibration, and the noise suppression signal and the original noise signal can offset each other to reduce or even eliminate the noise.

[0038] The noise is caused by vibration of the aircraft body structure, so a plurality of vibration sensors are arranged on the aircraft body to collect vibration signals of the aircraft body. Specifically, a plurality of suitable mounting positions can be selected on the aircraft body according to the specific aircraft body structure and the size of the aircraft body, and a vibration sensor is arranged at each position to collect vibration signals of the corresponding position. In this way, during the flight of the aircraft, the plurality of vibration sensors can continuously collect vibration signals at a preset collection frequency, and send the collected vibration signals to the active noise reduction controller, and the active noise reduction controller determines the reference signal according to the received vibration signals.

[0039] In addition, when the internal space of the cabin is relatively large, the intensities of the original noise signals of different regions can also be different. In order to improve the noise reduction effect, the internal space of the cabin can be divided into a plurality of noise reduction regions, for example, the region occupied by two adjacent seats and the surrounding range thereof is divided into a noise reduction region. For example, the cabin of an aircraft has 100 seats, and the cabin can be divided into 50 noise reduction regions. For each noise reduction region, the original noise signal of the noise reduction region is collected separately, and the corresponding noise suppression signal is generated.

[0040] In another embodiment, the plurality of vibration signals of the aircraft body are collected by the plurality of vibration sensors, and the reference signal is determined according to the plurality of vibration signals, including: collecting the plurality of vibration signals of the aircraft body by the plurality of vibration sensors; obtaining a plurality of vibration signal subsets according to the plurality of vibration signals; calculating the coherence degree between each vibration signal and the original noise signal; calculating the coherence degree between each vibration signal subset and the original noise signal according to the coherence degree between each vibration signal and the original noise signal; determining the vibration sensor corresponding to the vibration signal subset with the highest coherence degree as the target vibration sensor; obtaining the target vibration signal of the target vibration sensor, and generating the reference signal according to the target vibration signal.

[0041] The vibration sensors are arranged at a plurality of positions of the aircraft body, but the generation of the original noise signal in the cabin is not necessarily highly related to the vibration at each position. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the vibration sensor with the highest correlation degree is determined through correlation analysis between the vibration signal and the original noise signal, and the reference signal is determined according to the vibration signal of the vibration sensor with the highest correlation degree. In addition, the noise in the cabin is generally caused by the coupling of vibrations at a plurality of positions of the aircraft body structure. Based on this, a plurality of vibration signals can be divided into a plurality of vibration signal subsets. For example, a total of 10 vibration sensors are arranged on the aircraft body, so that 10 vibration signals can be collected at the same time. Each 3 vibration signals are divided into a subset, so that a plurality of vibration signal subsets are obtained. The number of vibration signals in one vibration signal subset can be set as required, and the above number is only for illustration.

[0042] Then, for each vibration signal, the coherence degree between the vibration signal and the original noise signal is calculated separately. Wherein, the original noise signal of the area is collected by the sound collection device arranged in the noise reduction area. The coherence degree between the vibration signal and the original noise signal can be calculated according to the coherence function. The calculation formula of the coherence function is as follows:

[0043]

[0044] Wherein, is the i-th vibration signal in the vibration signal subset, and d is the original noise signal.

[0045] It can be understood that generally, the vibration signal and the original noise signal collected directly are analog signals, which are converted into digital signals before calculation, and then the calculation is performed according to the digital signals.

[0046] In the above calculation formula, Wherein, w represents the angular frequency, is the autocorrelation of the vibration signal in the form of a vector or a matrix, such as a frequency spectrum or a power spectrum. d(w) is the autocorrelation of the original noise signal in the form of a vector or a matrix, such as a frequency spectrum or a power spectrum. represents the conjugate operation, d T (w) represents the transpose operation of the vector or matrix d(w), and E() represents the expectation operation.

[0047] After calculating the coherence degree between each vibration signal and the original noise signal, the coherence degree between a vibration signal subset and the original noise signal is calculated next.

[0048] As an embodiment, the coherence degree between each vibration signal subset and the original noise signal is calculated according to the coherence degree between each vibration signal and the original noise signal, which includes: for each vibration signal subset, calculating the average value of the coherence degree between each vibration signal in the vibration signal subset and the original noise signal, and taking the average value as the coherence degree between the vibration signal subset and the original noise signal.

[0049] Alternatively, as another embodiment, the coherence degree between each vibration signal subset and the original noise signal is calculated according to the coherence degree between each vibration signal and the original noise signal, which includes: based on the multiple coherence function, calculating the coherence degree between each vibration signal subset and the original noise signal d

[0050] The calculation formula of the multiple coherence function is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Where K is the number of vibration signals in the vibration signal subset. to There is no restriction on the order; the K vibration signals in the vibration signal subset can be arranged in any order.

[0053] in, This means removing the signal from signal d. After composition, the remaining signal and signal Coherence; This means removing the signal from signal d. After composition, the remaining signal and signal The coherence.

[0054] After calculating the coherence between each vibration signal subset and the original noise signal in the above manner, the vibration signal subset with the highest coherence, i.e. the strongest coherence, is determined as the target vibration signal subset. The multiple vibration sensors corresponding to this target vibration signal subset are determined as target sensors. In other words, the noise generated in the cabin is mainly caused by the vibration at the locations of these target vibration sensors. Subsequently, a reference signal can be determined based on the target vibration signals collected by the target vibration sensors, for example, by superimposing multiple vibration signals to obtain the reference signal.

[0055] Understandably, the determination of the target vibration sensor only requires one calculation. After the target vibration sensor is determined, the subsequent adaptive adjustment coefficients do not need to redetermine the target vibration sensor when updating. They can directly obtain the vibration signals collected by the sensor to generate reference signals.

[0056] 102. The noise suppression signal is determined based on the reference signal and the adaptive adjustment coefficient, and the noise suppression signal is output through the loudspeaker in the noise reduction area.

[0057] After obtaining the reference signal, the noise suppression signal is determined based on the reference signal and the adaptive adjustment coefficients. The formula for calculating the noise suppression signal y(n) is as follows:

[0058] y(n)=W T (n)*x(n)

[0059] W T x(n) is the adaptive adjustment coefficient, and x(n) is the reference signal.

[0060] As mentioned above, the present application generates a noise suppression signal which is opposite to the original noise signal in vibration condition. In ideal condition, the noise suppression signal has the same frequency and amplitude as the original noise signal, but opposite phase, so that the original noise signal and the noise suppression signal can offset each other to achieve the effect of noise reduction.

[0061] Wherein, the adaptive adjustment coefficient is not a fixed value. The reason is as follows: due to the existence of original noise transmission channel, suppression noise transmission channel and environmental influence and other factors, the calculated noise suppression signal may not completely offset the original noise signal, but a noise residual signal is generated. As shown in the following formula: Figure 2 Figure 2 The noise cancellation principle diagram of aircraft cabin provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the following figure. The principle can be expressed by the following formula:

[0062] e(n) = d(n) - y'(n)

[0063] Wherein, n is the time index, e(n) is the noise residual signal, d(n) is the original noise signal, and y'(n) is the signal after the noise suppression signal is transmitted through the transmission path.

[0064] When the intensity of noise residual signal e(n) is too high, the noise reduction effect will be poor. Therefore, in order to achieve good noise reduction effect, it is necessary to make the intensity of noise residual signal as small as possible. Therefore, the adaptive filter is used to determine the adaptive adjustment coefficient in the present application, and the noise residual signal and the reference signal are used as the input of the adaptive filter. Through the operation of the adaptive filter, the new adaptive adjustment coefficient is output. The process will be described in detail below.

[0065] 103, collect the noise residual signal of the noise reduction area, and update the adaptive adjustment coefficient according to the noise residual signal and the reference signal, wherein the noise residual signal is the signal formed after the noise suppression signal and the original noise signal are offset.

[0066] The loudspeaker and the microphone are arranged in the noise reduction area, for example, the loudspeaker is arranged on the interior decoration above the seat for outputting the noise suppression signal, and the microphone is arranged on both sides of the seat for collecting the noise residual signal. Since the output noise suppression signal will produce error after passing through the transmission path, the formula of the above noise cancellation principle can also be expressed as follows:

[0067] e(n) = d(n) - y'(n) = d(n) - s(n) * y(n) = d(n) - s(n) * [W T (n)x(n)]

[0068] Wherein, * represents linear convolution operation, s(n) is channel error function, and W T ​(n) is an adaptive adjustment coefficient, x(n) is a reference signal, and y(n) is a noise suppression signal. The channel error function is preset and stored in a storage area of the active noise reduction controller.

[0069] Then, the adaptive adjustment coefficient w(n) is updated according to the filtered-x least mean square algorithm, the noise residual signal, and the reference signal. T (n). That is, according to the FXLMS (filtered-x least mean square) algorithm, the w that makes |e(n)| minimum is calculated. Since |e(n)| is not derivable at the minimum point, |e(n)| is used. 2 . 2 .

[0070] Assuming that a mean square cost function is represented as ξ(n) = E[e 2 (n)], the adaptive filter minimizes the instantaneous square error, and then ξ(n) = e 2 (n).

[0071] Using the gradient descent algorithm, the filter coefficients in the negative gradient direction are updated according to the step size, and then the iterative formula is represented as:

[0072]

[0073] wherein, is an instantaneous estimate of the gradient of the mean square error at time n. μ is a fixed step size factor, and the size of μ largely determines the convergence and steady-state performance of the algorithm. The larger μ is, the faster the algorithm converges, but the larger the steady-state error is. The smaller μ is, the slower the algorithm converges, but the smaller the steady-state error is. Generally, the value of μ can be selected within a reasonable range.

[0074] According to the above formula, the new adaptive adjustment coefficient is calculated according to the collected noise residual signal.

[0075] In an embodiment, the channel error function is obtained as follows: when the aircraft is in a stationary state, a first white noise signal is output through a speaker in the noise reduction area, and a second white noise signal is collected through a microphone in the preset area after passing through the transmission path. The channel error function is determined according to the first white noise signal and the second white noise signal.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the aircraft is in a stationary state, i.e. not flying, a white noise signal is played through the loudspeaker of the noise reduction area, and at the same time, the white noise signal after passing through the transmission path is collected through the microphone of the area, obtaining a new white noise signal. The error between the collected second white noise signal and the played first white noise signal is the noise of the transmission path, so according to the first white noise signal and the second white noise signal, the channel error function can be determined. The channel error function represents the error of the sound signal passing through the transmission path.

[0077] 104、Based on the updated adaptive adjustment coefficient, return to perform the operation of determining the noise suppression signal according to the reference signal and the adaptive adjustment coefficient, and outputting the noise suppression signal through the loudspeaker of the noise reduction area, until the intensity of the noise residual signal is less than the preset threshold.

[0078] After the adaptive filter algorithm outputs the new adaptive adjustment coefficient, the noise suppression signal is recalculated based on the new adaptive adjustment coefficient, and the noise suppression signal is output through the loudspeaker of the noise reduction area. Then, the noise residual signal is collected through the microphone of the noise reduction area, and it is judged whether the intensity is less than the preset threshold. If yes, the current noise suppression signal is continuously output, and the noise residual signal is collected periodically. Otherwise, if the intensity of the noise residual signal is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the noise residual signal and the reference signal are taken as the input of the adaptive filter, and the new adaptive adjustment coefficient is output through the operation of the adaptive filter. Iterative operation is performed until the intensity of the noise residual signal is less than the preset threshold.

[0079] As can be seen from the foregoing description, the adaptive adjustment coefficient is continuously updated under certain conditions. Therefore, the initial value of the adaptive adjustment coefficient can be a randomly selected value of the adaptive filter, or a value obtained by iterative calculation during the noise reduction processing of the aircraft during the last flight. That is, after each flight, the adaptive adjustment coefficient obtained by iterative calculation during the noise reduction processing of the current flight can be stored for use as the initial value during the next noise reduction processing.

[0080] It can be understood that for multiple noise reduction areas in the cabin, the corresponding noise imprint signals can be calculated and output according to the above description to achieve active noise reduction.

[0081] In specific implementation, the present application is not limited by the execution order of the various steps described, and certain steps can also be performed in other order or simultaneously without conflict.

[0082] It can be learned from the above that the active noise reduction method of the aircraft cabin provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the vibration sensor on the aircraft body to collect a plurality of vibration signals corresponding to the noise source, determines the reference signal from the plurality of vibration signals, generates a noise suppression signal based on the reference signal and an adaptive adjustment coefficient which can be adaptively adjusted, and outputs the noise suppression signal in the noise reduction area. The noise suppression signal can offset the original noise signal of the noise reduction area to reduce the noise, and at the same time of noise offset, a noise residual signal is generated. The adaptive adjustment coefficient is adaptively adjusted based on the noise residual signal, and then the noise suppression signal is adjusted. In this way, the noise suppression signal output by the noise reduction area is dynamically adjusted iteratively, so that the intensity of the noise residual signal of the area is less than the preset threshold, so as to achieve good active noise reduction effect.

[0083] In an embodiment, an active noise reduction device of an aircraft cabin is also provided. The active noise reduction device of the aircraft cabin comprises a reference determination module, a signal generation module and a weight update module, as follows:

[0087] The signal generation module is also configured to perform the operation of determining the noise suppression signal according to the reference signal and the adaptive adjustment coefficient, and outputting the noise suppression signal through the loudspeaker of the noise reduction area based on the updated adaptive adjustment coefficient, until the intensity of the noise residual signal is less than the preset threshold.

The active noise reduction device of the aircraft cabin can realize any method provided in the active noise reduction method of the aircraft cabin embodiment. The specific implementation process is described in detail in the active noise reduction method of the aircraft cabin embodiment, which will not be described here.

[0089] It can be known from the above that the active noise reduction device of the aircraft cabin provided in the embodiment of the present application sets the vibration sensor on the aircraft body to collect a plurality of vibration signals corresponding to the noise source, determines the reference signal from the plurality of vibration signals, generates a noise suppression signal based on the reference signal and an adaptive adjustment coefficient which can be adaptively adjusted, and outputs the noise suppression signal in the noise reduction area, the noise suppression signal can be offset with the original noise signal of the noise reduction area to reduce the noise, and at the same time of noise offset, a noise residual signal is generated, the adaptive adjustment coefficient is adaptively adjusted based on the noise residual signal, and then the noise suppression signal is adjusted, so that the noise suppression signal output by the noise reduction area is dynamically adjusted iteratively, so that the intensity of the noise residual signal of the area is less than the preset threshold, so that a good active noise reduction effect is achieved.

[0095] It should be explained that the active noise reduction controller provided in the embodiment of the present application and the active noise reduction method of the aircraft cabin in the above embodiment belong to the same inventive concept, the active noise reduction controller is configured to realize any method provided in the active noise reduction method of the aircraft cabin, and the specific implementation process is referred to the active noise reduction method of the aircraft cabin, which will not be described here.

[0096] The embodiment of the present application also provides an aircraft. Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The structure schematic diagram of the aircraft provided in the embodiment of the present application. The aircraft 400 comprises:

[0097] a plurality of vibration sensors 410 disposed on the fuselage of the aircraft 400;
