Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship propulsion system noise reduction, and relates to a waterjet pump noise reduction structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Acoustic stealth performance is crucial for high-speed ships and submarines. Improving stealth mainly approaches from two aspects, one is to control the generation of noise, and the other is to control the propagation of noise. In high-performance ships and submarines, the noise generated by the propeller is an important source of radiated noise. Compared with the propeller, the waterjet is more and more used in high-performance ships and submarines because of its stronger anti-cavitation ability and higher efficiency at high speed. Due to the dynamic and static interference, cavitation and other flow phenomena will cause the waterjet pump to generate noise, and then radiate noise to the external flow field through the pipe and the guide vane shell of the waterjet pump impeller chamber. Among them, the line spectrum noise generated by the dynamic and static interference is concentrated in the low frequency. Because the low frequency noise has the characteristic of long wavelength, its propagation ability is stronger. At the same time, the noise amplitude generated by the dynamic and static interference is often much higher than that of other frequencies, and it is more likely to be received by sonar, reducing the acoustic stealth of the ship. Therefore, reducing the noise radiated by the waterjet pump to the outside can reduce the noise of the entire vehicle.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a device that can effectively reduce the noise radiated by the waterjet pump to the outside. SUMMARY

[0004] Since the prior art has the above defects, the present application provides a device that can effectively reduce the noise radiated by the waterjet pump to the outside, specifically a waterjet pump noise reduction structure based on the concept of extended pipe acoustic metamaterial, which specifically reduces the radiated noise of the waterjet pump by reasonably designing the structural parameters of the acoustic covering material cavity and then applying the structural parameters to the positions of the waterjet pump impeller chamber, guide vane body and incoming flow pipe.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0006] A waterjet pump noise reduction structure, comprising a sleeve;

[0007] The outer wall surface of the sleeve is provided with one or more support cavities, the support cavities are provided with through holes penetrating the outer wall surface of the sleeve, and the through holes are fixed with communication pipes communicating the hollow part of the sleeve with the outside, the support cavities are filled with noise reduction units matched with the support cavities, the noise reduction units are provided with blind holes matched with the communication pipes, the noise reduction units comprise sound absorption blocks and outer cladding layers completely wrapping the sound absorption blocks, the blind holes penetrate the outer cladding layers and then penetrate into the sound absorption blocks, the sound absorption blocks are provided with hollow cavities, the hollow cavities are on the same straight line with the blind holes and the blind holes are not communicated with the hollow cavities;

[0008] The sleeve is further provided with a noise reduction unit fixing device for fixing the noise reduction units.

[0009] The water jet propelling pump noise reduction structure of the present application, the design concept is to absorb the outward radiation sound wave of the water jet propeller into the noise reduction structure as much as possible and dissipate it to achieve the sound stealth effect of the water jet propeller. Specifically, the acoustic metamaterial based on the extended pipe concept is arranged in the support cavity, the communication pipe protrudes into the support cavity through the perforation, a Helmholtz resonant cavity is formed, the sound wave resonates in the cavity and is finally lost, this structure increases the impedance of the resonant cavity, hinders the propagation of noise, and thus reduces the outward radiation noise. By controlling the height of the resonant cavity, the amplitude of the reverse sound wave is opposite to that of the forward propagating sound wave at the same phase, thereby canceling the amplitude at the characteristic frequency and achieving the purpose of noise reduction. The hollow cavity in the sound absorption block is used to adjust the frequency corresponding to the maximum sound absorption coefficient. The greater the cavity depth, the lower the maximum sound absorption coefficient of the micro-perforated plate sound absorption body moves. The water jet propelling pump noise reduction structure of the present application can replace the original pipeline of the water jet propelling pump, and the noise reduction unit fixing device can fix the noise reduction unit to ensure that the noise reduction unit blocks the open end of the communication pipe.

[0013] The sleeve is made of metal material, specifically 304 stainless steel.

[0014] The water jet propelling pump noise reduction structure as described above, the noise reduction unit fixing device is a ring-shaped flexible sealing ring, the ring-shaped flexible sealing ring is sleeved outside the sleeve and the ring-shaped flexible sealing ring is located outside the noise reduction unit.

[0015] The water jet propelling pump noise reduction structure as described above, the material of the ring-shaped flexible sealing ring is vulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber, which has high characteristic impedance and good damping and buffering effect. When it is attached to the pipeline or the shell of the pump, it plays a role in impedance transition on the basis of damping and noise reduction.

[0016] The water jet propelling pump noise reduction structure as described above, the material of the sound absorption block is elastomeric polyurethane, which is a viscoelastic material, and its sound absorption mechanism mainly causes molecular internal friction and sound wave dissipation at different medium interfaces.
