[0055] The present application provides a noise reduction pneumatic device of a respirator. As shown in the embodiment, Figures 1-4 The noise reduction pneumatic device includes a housing 1. The housing 1 includes an inner cavity and an air inlet 13. The housing 1 is provided with a fan bracket 2 for fixing a fan 3. The fan bracket 2 divides the inner cavity into a first chamber 15 communicating with the air inlet 13 and a second chamber 16 communicating with a fan inlet 31. The first chamber 15 and the second chamber 16 are communicated through a plurality of airflow channels 17 arranged circumferentially around the fan 3. The fan bracket 2 has an installation cavity with an opening facing upward. The fan 3 is accommodated in the installation cavity, and the turbine of the fan is exposed to the installation cavity and extends into the second chamber 16. As shown in Figure 3 The airflow from the air inlet 13 to the fan inlet 31 is first introduced into the first chamber 15 through the air inlet 13, then enters the second chamber 16 through the plurality of airflow channels 17 arranged circumferentially around the fan 3, and finally enters the fan inlet 31.

[0056] The chaotic airflow entering through the air inlet 13 is buffered and slowed down in the first chamber 15, and is divided when entering the plurality of airflow channels 17 arranged circumferentially around the fan 3. The airflow is combed through the airflow channels 17, which can reduce impedance and eddy current, making the airflow smooth and smooth. After entering the second chamber 16, the airflow is slowed down again, and finally the airflow entering the fan inlet 31 has a low flow rate and is not prone to eddy current, resulting in low pneumatic noise at the fan inlet 31. Moreover, when the vibration noise generated by the rotation of the motor and the fan 3 blades propagates to the surrounding, the plurality of airflow channels 17 arranged circumferentially around the fan 3, as well as the first chamber 15 and the second chamber 16, can simultaneously act as a noise reduction cavity to block the propagation of vibration noise. In order to reduce the noise generated by the rotation of the fan 3 blades, a sound-absorbing material, such as a porous flexible foam material, is filled between the motor and the motor bracket 2 to buffer vibration and absorb noise, preventing noise from being conducted outward. Thus, the pneumatic noise reduction device of the present application can achieve noise reduction of the respirator and improve the user experience.

[0057] Specifically, in combination with Figures 5-7 As shown in the drawings, the shell 1 includes a lower shell 11 for supporting the fan support 2, and an air inlet 13 is arranged on the bottom wall of the lower shell 11. The shell 1 further includes an upper shell 12 arranged on the lower shell 11, and the fan inlet 31 is arranged upwardly, the fan outlet 32 is arranged on the side wall of the upper shell 12, and the air outlet 14 is also arranged on the side wall of the upper shell 12. Among them, the first chamber 15 is formed between the lower shell 11 and the fan

[0058] support 2, and the second chamber 16 is formed between the upper shell 12 and the fan 3 and the fan support 2. The lower shell 11 and the fan support 2 jointly form the airflow passage 17. Among them, a plurality of first airflow passages 17 are arranged along the circumference of the side wall of the lower shell 11, and the part of the fan support 2 above the first airflow passage 17 is provided with a second airflow passage 17 communicating with the first airflow passage 17. The first airflow passage 17 and the second airflow passage 17 jointly form the airflow passage 17 communicating the first chamber 15 and the second chamber 16, which can prolong the length of the airflow passage 17 and improve the effect of rectification.

[0059] As another implementation manner of the airflow passage 17, the lower shell 11 includes a bottom wall and a side wall extending in the axial direction, and a plurality of airflow passages 17 are arranged along the circumference of the side wall.

[0060] In this embodiment, the airflow passage 17 is arranged along the axial direction of the turbine of the fan 3 from the air inlet end to the air outlet end, that is, the airflow enters the second chamber 16 along the airflow passage 17 from bottom to top, the airflow flows more smoothly, the friction with the cavity wall of the airflow passage 17 is smaller, and the aerodynamic noise is not obvious.

[0061] As another implementation manner of the airflow passage 17, the airflow passage 17 is arranged in an inclined direction from the air inlet end to the air outlet end.

[0062] The inclined direction is the same as the rotation direction of the turbine of the fan 3. That is, the airflow passage 17 not only has the function of distributing and combing the airflow, but also can change the direction of the airflow, so that it flows along the rotation direction of the turbine of the fan 3, and reduces the aerodynamic noise of the fan inlet 31. Moreover, the airflow passage 17 arranged in an inclined direction can prolong the length of the passage and improve the rectification effect of the passage.

[0063] As another implementation manner of the airflow passage 17, the inclined direction is along the radial direction of the fan inlet 31 from the inside to the outside.

[0064] That is, when the airflow flows from bottom to top, the radial distance from the fan inlet 31 becomes farther and farther, and the gas flowing out of the air outlet end of the airflow passage 17 needs to pass through a longer flow channel to enter the fan inlet 31, which is beneficial to improve the rectification effect.

[0065] In the embodiment, the first chamber 15 is provided with a first flow guide part 151, the first flow guide part 151 includes a plurality of first flow guide ribs 1511 extending from the air inlet 13 to the airflow channel 17, the first flow guide ribs 1511 divide the first chamber 15 to form a plurality of first flow-through areas 152, and the first flow-through areas 152 are arranged one by one corresponding to the airflow channel 17. The airflow entering from the air inlet 13 is divided into different first flow-through areas 152 in the first chamber 15, and is guided and combed by the first flow guide ribs 1511, so that the airflow can enter the airflow channel 17 more smoothly, which is beneficial to improve the rectification effect and reduce the aerodynamic noise of the airflow and the cavity wall.

[0066] Further, the width of the first flow-through area 152 gradually increases in the direction from the air inlet 13 to the air inlet end of the airflow channel 17. The air inlet 13 is located at the center of the bottom wall of the lower shell 11, the first flow guide ribs 1511 are convex ribs protruding upward along the bottom wall of the lower shell 11, and the first flow guide ribs 1511 extend radially from the air inlet 13 to the periphery. At this time, the first flow-through area 152 is fan-shaped, and the air inlet end of the airflow channel 17 is arranged one by one corresponding to the first flow-through area 152.

[0067] Further, the first flow guide part 151 further includes a flow guide ring rib 1512 arranged circumferentially around the air inlet 13, the lower shell 11 is bent upward at the air inlet 13 to form the flow guide ring rib 1512, and the flow guide ring rib 1512 and the lower shell 11 have an arc transition surface therebetween, which guides the airflow to move towards the air inlet 13.

[0068] In the embodiment, the first flow guide part 151 is combined with the airflow channel 17 and the air inlet 13. Figures 8-9 As shown in the drawings, the second chamber 16 is provided with a second flow guide part 161, the second flow guide part 161 includes a plurality of second flow guide ribs 1611 arranged around the fan inlet 31 region, the second flow guide ribs 1611 extend from the airflow channel 17 to the fan inlet 31, the second flow guide ribs 1611 divide the fan inlet 31 region to form a plurality of second flow-through areas 162, and the second flow-through areas 162 are arranged one by one corresponding to the airflow channel 17. The airflow passing out of the airflow channel 17 is guided and combed again by the second flow guide ribs, so that the airflow entering the fan inlet 31 is more smooth and does not produce vortex, thereby reducing the aerodynamic noise of the fan inlet 31.

[0069] Further, the second flow guide part 161 further includes a third flow guide rib 1612 extending from the airflow channel 17 to the fan inlet 31, the third flow guide rib 1612 is arranged circumferentially around the fan inlet 31 and interlaces with the second flow guide rib 1611, and the third flow guide rib 1612 is arranged one by one corresponding to the airflow channel 17.

[0070] Further, in the radial direction of the fan inlet 31, the third flow guide rib 1612 is arranged outside the second flow guide rib 1611.

[0071] Furthermore, both the second guide rib 1611 and the third guide rib 1612 are provided with guide arc surfaces. The guide arc surfaces are curved in the direction away from the turbine rotation direction of the fan 3. The guiding direction of the guide arc surfaces is the same as the turbine rotation direction of the fan 3, so that the airflow enters the fan inlet 31 in the direction of the turbine rotation direction, avoiding turbulence and reducing the noise generated by the friction between the turbine blades and the air.

[0072] Furthermore, along the direction from the outlet of the airflow channel 17 toward the fan inlet 31, the width of the second flow area 162 gradually decreases, guiding the airflow to concentrate and flow toward the fan inlet 31.

[0073] In this embodiment, combined with Figures 10-11 As shown, the first guide section 151 also includes a first guide cone 1513 disposed towards the air inlet 13, the peripheral surface of the first guide cone 1513 being a concave arc surface. The first guide cone 1513 guides the airflow entering from the air inlet 13 to diffuse towards the surrounding airflow channels 17, preventing disordered airflow from entering the airflow channels 17.

[0074] Furthermore, the second guide section 161 also includes a second guide cone 1613 disposed towards the fan inlet 31, the circumferential surface of the second guide cone 1613 being a concave arc surface. The second guide cone 1613 guides the airflow to concentrate and flow towards the fan inlet 31.

[0075] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 12 As shown, the housing 1 also includes a silencing cavity 18 extending along the airflow direction of the fan outlet 32. Specifically, a portion of the lower housing 11 and the fan support 2 relative to the fan outlet 32 ​​continues to extend along the airflow direction, forming a silencing structure surrounding the fan outlet 32. This silencing structure is hollow, forming the silencing cavity 18. The silencing cavity 18 has an airflow outlet, allowing airflow. Furthermore, noise is continuously reflected and refracted against the cavity wall of the silencing cavity 18, reducing energy and thus helping to reduce noise at the fan outlet 32. Moreover, the greater the extension distance of the silencing cavity 18, the more significant the noise reduction effect. The length of the silencing cavity 18 can be rationally designed according to the installation space of the ventilator.

[0076] Specifically, the sound attenuation cavity 18 is provided with a partition 19, which can at least divide the sound attenuation cavity 18 into a first sound attenuation cavity 181 communicating with the fan outlet 32 and a second sound attenuation cavity 182 surrounding the first sound attenuation cavity 181. Specifically, the partition 19 is provided with a through hole communicating the second sound attenuation cavity 182 and the first sound attenuation cavity 181, which can be designed with different perforation rates, through hole depths and aperture sizes according to the noise value of the fan outlet 32. The noise passes through the through hole, the acoustic resistance increases, and the noise is absorbed. After the noise enters the second sound attenuation cavity 182, it continuously emits and refracts, and the noise energy gradually decreases. The second sound attenuation cavity 182 is filled with sound-absorbing material, which further plays a role in sound absorption and noise reduction.

[0077] Further, the second sound attenuation cavity 182 is filled with sound-absorbing material, such as porous flexible foam material, etc. The flexible foam material contains a large number of small interconnected pores inside, and the sound wave enters these pores and rubs with the material, further reducing the energy. Moreover, the flexible foam material is light in weight and will not increase the weight of the whole machine.

[0078] The places not mentioned in the application can be realized by using or referring to the existing technology.

[0079] Each embodiment in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between each embodiment can be referred to each other. Each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments.
