Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a sound-insulating and noise-reducing air duct for a wind tunnel laboratory, and is applied in the technical field of wind tunnel laboratories. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, a wind tunnel, or wind tunnel laboratory, is a pipe-shaped experimental device that artificially generates and controls airflow to simulate the flow of gas around an aircraft or entity, measure the effect of airflow on the entity, and observe physical phenomena. It is one of the most commonly used and effective tools for conducting aerodynamic experiments. Wind tunnel experiments are an indispensable part of aircraft development. They not only play an important role in the research and development of aviation and aerospace engineering, but with the development of industrial aerodynamics, they are even more indispensable in transportation, housing construction, and wind energy utilization. This experimental method makes flow conditions easy to control. During the experiment, a model or actual object is often fixed in the wind tunnel and repeatedly blown with air, and experimental data is obtained through measurement and control instruments and equipment.

[0003] However, due to the use of dual fans in wind tunnel laboratories, the airflow is very fast during operation, which generates a lot of noise in the duct. Research data shows that when the noise reaches 60 decibels, people will feel noisy, 70 decibels will begin to damage the auditory nerves, and hearing will be damaged above 90 decibels. Staying in a space of 100-120 decibels will cause temporary deafness for one minute. In addition, noise can also affect children's intelligence and fetal development, and induce various diseases such as arrhythmia, high blood pressure, and indigestion. The degree of harm mainly depends on the frequency, intensity, and exposure time of the noise. When the noise generated by the dual fans in the wind tunnel experiment spreads outward in the duct, it will have a significant impact on the working environment and even the surrounding residents. In serious cases, it can even affect the health of the experimenters. Therefore, a soundproof and noise-reducing duct for wind tunnel laboratories is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a sound insulation and noise reduction air duct for a wind tunnel laboratory, which has the advantages of sound insulation and noise reduction, reducing the impact of noise on the surroundings, and good noise reduction effect. It solves the problem that when the current wind tunnel laboratory uses dual fans, the air flow flows quickly, and very loud noise is generated in the air duct. The outward spread has a great impact on the working environment and even the surrounding residents, and in serious cases, it may even affect the health of the experimenters.

[0025] The inner side of the air duct wall 2 is provided with a plurality of auxiliary sound-reducing holes 21 distributed in a ring shape, and the outer side of the air duct wall 2 is fixedly connected with a plurality of external sound-reducing pipes 31 located inside the sound-blocking layer 3, and the auxiliary sound-reducing holes 21 connect the external sound-reducing pipes 31 and the air duct body 1.

[0026] A plurality of main support blocks 32 and support angle plates 33 located inside the sound-insulating layer 3 are fixedly connected between the air duct wall 2 and the protective outer wall 4 . The main support blocks 32 are at the same height as the outer silencer pipe 31 .

[0027] The outer silencer pipe 31 is a reactive silencer, and the main support blocks 32 and the outer silencer pipe 31 are arranged alternately.

[0028] The reinforcement frame 5 includes a plurality of annular rods 51 and a plurality of connecting rods 52 . The annular rods 51 and the connecting rods 52 are staggered and distributed in a network shape. The reinforcement frame 5 is adapted to protect the outer wall 4 .

[0029] A plurality of equally spaced noise reduction strips 61 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the noise reduction pipe 6, and arc plates 62 are fixedly connected on both sides of the noise reduction strips 61. An air inlet 63 and an air outlet 64 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the noise reduction pipe 6.

[0034] When using the present invention, multiple sound-absorbing tube bodies 14 and noise reduction tubes 6 are staggered and arranged. The noise generated can be reduced by multiple absorption of the sound-absorbing tube bodies 14 and the noise reduction tubes 6. The air inlet 63 and the air outlet 64 guide the airflow to reduce the impact of the airflow on the sound-absorbing tube body 14. The noise reduction strips 61 and the arc plates 62 make the generated air flow have a certain arc shape, reducing the flow velocity loss of the airflow in the sound-absorbing tube body 14 and the noise reduction tube 6, ensuring the normal operation of the air duct main body 1 without affecting the experiments in the wind tunnel laboratory. The residual noise is guided to the external silencer 31 through the auxiliary sound reduction hole 21 to eliminate the noise, keep the noise in the air duct main body 1 smaller, and reduce the impact on the surrounding environment. On the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the air duct main body 1 and not affecting the experiments in the wind tunnel laboratory, the impact on the surrounding environment and the health of the experimenters is effectively reduced.
