Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of active noise reduction, and particularly to an anti-interference automatic person-finding active noise reduction barrier system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the health hazards caused by noise to the human body have attracted more and more attention. With the continuous development of the economic society and the improvement of people's requirements for the quality of the ecological environment, improving the environmental sound quality is of great significance for improving environmental noise.

[0003] Most of the methods for blocking noise propagation at the human ear adopt the way of wearing noise-canceling headphones or earplugs, but long-term wearing will cause discomfort to the human ear. The existing noise reduction methods generally adopt the passive noise reduction method to isolate noise. This method has a good suppression effect on high-frequency noise, but a poor suppression effect on low-frequency noise. The propagation of noise has directionality and time-variability. In the daily life or the environment of office work and study, it is impossible to judge the source direction of the noise, and it is difficult to set up a fixed noise reduction device on the noise propagation path by using the passive noise reduction method. Moreover, the fixed noise reduction device cannot freely change with the change of the noise position and cannot meet the noise reduction requirements. The active noise reduction technology generates a sound signal with the same amplitude and opposite phase as the noise signal through a loudspeaker, so as to achieve the purpose of canceling the noise. However, in the actual application scenario, there will be background sounds that do not require noise reduction, so it will interfere with the noise reduction performance of the active noise reduction system.

[0085] In this embodiment, when the active noise reduction controller 17 realizes the active noise reduction barrier function, calculate the secondary path model, the acoustic feedback compensation filter, the background acoustic feedback compensation filter, the target noise reduction point path model and the auxiliary filter; wherein:

[0086] (1) The secondary path model is established based on the fixed positions among the secondary speaker 21 and the error microphone array 16 with serial numbers A, C, D, and F, i.e., the four microphones.

[0087] (2) The acoustic feedback compensation filter is established based on the fixed position between the secondary speaker 21 and the reference microphone 23.

[0088] (3) The background acoustic feedback compensation filter is established based on three fixed linear distances of 0.5 m, 1 m, and 1.5 m from the reference microphone 23 and the error microphone array 16 to the center point of the human head.

[0089] (4) The target noise reduction point path model is the deviation between the residual error noise signal directionally picked up by the error microphone array 16 and the residual error noise signal picked up by the error microphone alone. By directionally picking up the acoustic signal obtained by a single secondary speaker 21 by the error microphone array 16 and the acoustic signal collected by a single error microphone facing the secondary speaker 21, the target noise reduction point path model is established.

[0090] (5) The auxiliary filter establishes corresponding virtual microphones based on three fixed linear distances of 0.5 m, 1 m, and 1.5 m from the barrier body 1 to the center point of the human head. It is established based on the fixed distance between the error microphone array 16 and the virtual microphone. After obtaining the required parameters, the virtual microphone is removed.

[0091] S12. Turn on the power switch 14 and supply power to the electronic control device through the storage battery 18.

[0092] S13. Locate the original noise direction and adjust the noise reduction barrier system based on the original noise direction.

[0093] In this embodiment, the implementation manner of S13 includes:

[0094] 1. Locate the original noise direction: Turn on the positioning noise source switch 10. The error microphone array 16 picks up the environmental acoustic signal. According to the beamforming algorithm, the active noise reduction controller 17 calculates the position information of the maximum original noise. Thus, through the control drive of the active noise reduction controller 17, after transmission by the first, second, and third gear-rack transmission mechanisms and the electric rotary ball head 30, the rotary disk 5, and the roller 7, the active noise reduction barrier body 1 is driven to face the maximum azimuth of the sound source with its back, thereby maximizing the noise reduction range of the active noise reduction barrier system.

[0095] 2. Adjust the noise reduction barrier system based on the original noise direction, including: adjusting the pitch angle and direction angle of the active noise reduction barrier body (1); among which:

[0096] (1) Adjusting the pitch angle requires changing the height of the barrier body 1 and the inclination angle of the barrier body 1:

[0097] A. The beamforming algorithm calculates the angular information of the original noise pitch angle, and sets the distance from the barrier main body 1 to the center point of the human head as a fixed value. Through geometric relationship operations, the height information that the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod need to change is judged;

[0098] B. The tilt angle of the barrier main body 1 is adjusted by the electric rotary ball head 30 according to the pitch angle position information;

[0099] (2) To adjust the azimuth angle, the position of the active noise reduction barrier main body (1) needs to be changed. The beamforming algorithm calculates the position information of the original noise azimuth angle. Since the position distance from the barrier main body (1) to the center point of the human head is set as a fixed value, with this fixed value as the radius, the azimuth angle that the roller 7 needs to change when rotating in an arc trajectory can be obtained. The circumference of the arc trajectory where the roller 7 rotates is calculated based on the direction angle information and the fixed value set for the distance from the barrier main body (1) to the center point of the human head;

[0100] 3. If the beamforming algorithm locates the position information of multiple original noises, the position information of the original noise with the largest amplitude is taken as the reference, so as to adjust the azimuth angle and pitch angle of the barrier main body 1;

[0101] S2. Turn on the switch 11 of the active noise reduction control system. According to the user's needs, choose whether to further turn on the switch 12 for suppressing background noise. If the switch 12 for suppressing background noise is selected to be turned off, the sound signals collected by the reference microphone 23 and the error microphone array 16 at serial numbers A, C, D, and F, 4 microphones are combined with the adaptive noise reduction algorithm and the calculated parameters of the auxiliary filter, secondary path model, and acoustic feedback compensation filter to drive the secondary speaker 21 to generate an anti-noise signal; if the switch 12 for suppressing background noise is selected to be turned on, the original noise signal collected by the reference microphone 23, the residual error noise signals and background noise signals directionally picked up by the 6 microphones of the error microphone array 16 at serial numbers A - F are combined with the calculated secondary path model, acoustic feedback compensation filter, background acoustic feedback compensation filter, target noise reduction point path model, and auxiliary filter parameters to drive the secondary speaker 21 to generate an anti-noise signal; according to the change of noise, the active noise reduction controller 17 adaptively updates the parameters in real time.

[0102] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 11, the present invention is used in front of a daily study or office desk to reduce the interference of traffic noise from outside the window. By turning on the positioning noise source switch 10, the active noise reduction barrier drives and adjusts the maximum direction of the back of the barrier body 1 facing the sound source according to the collected sound signals. The positioning sensor 9 adjusts the orientation of the barrier body 1 to face the center position of the human head according to the user's needs, and sets a fixed relative distance value. When the user is in a static and silent state, the active noise reduction control system switch 11 is turned on, and the active noise reduction controller 17 adjusts the parameters of the active noise reduction controller 17 in real time according to the environmental noise changes, so as to form a noise reduction area with the center position of the human head as the reference. When the user needs to make a sound, such as making a phone call or having a video conference, the background sound suppression switch 12 can be turned on on the basis of turning on the active noise reduction control system switch 11 to prevent the user's sound signal from affecting the noise reduction performance of the active noise reduction control system. The linear distance between the user and the barrier body 1 can be adjusted according to the user's needs, and the active noise reduction controller 17 adjusts the parameters in real time according to the distance changes, always ensuring a good noise reduction effect in the user's head area.
