[0034] Please see attached Figure 1-5 In one embodiment of the present invention, an air compressor 40 exhaust silencer is provided, comprising a connecting pipe 10, a first silencer 20 and a second silencer 30. First of all, it should be noted that, unlike the acoustic package in the prior art, which has a good sound absorption and insulation effect in the high-frequency part, in the low-frequency part, due to the narrow space around the exhaust port, the acoustic package often has an unsatisfactory sound absorption and insulation effect. The present application solves the above-mentioned defects in the prior art by providing an air compressor exhaust silencer, as follows:

[0035] The top end of the connecting pipe 10 is used to communicate with the air release valve 420, and the second muffler 30 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe 10; the first muffler 20 includes a muffler pipe 210 and a plurality of annular partition plates 220 built into the muffler pipe 210, the muffler pipe 210 is sealed on the connecting pipe 10, the annular partition plates 220 are connected between the connecting pipe 10 and the muffler pipe 210, the annular partition plates 220 are arranged at vertical intervals to divide the interior of the muffler pipe 210 into a plurality of muffler chambers 211; the muffler pipe 210 is provided with a plurality of muffler hole units arranged at vertical intervals, and each of the muffler chambers 211 is provided with a muffler hole 212 unit at the bottom end to communicate with the interior of the connecting pipe 10.

[0036] Specifically, the air compressor 40 air release silencer in the present application includes a connecting pipe 10, a first silencer 20 and a second silencer 30. The connecting pipe 10 is used to communicate with the air release valve 420 of the air compressor body 410, and can also be used for the installation and connection of the first silencer 20 and the second silencer 30 to perform sound reduction processing; the first silencer 20 is used to process medium and low frequency sound waves, while the second silencer 30 is used to process high frequency sound waves, which is connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe 10, so that after the noise enters the connecting pipe 10 from the air release valve 420, the medium and low frequency sound waves are processed by the first silencer 20, and the high frequency sound waves are processed by the second silencer 30; and in the field of sound waves, low, medium and high frequency is a relatively well-known definition term, so its specific scope is not described in detail here.

[0037] Among them, the first silencer 20 includes a silencer pipe 210 and a plurality of annular partition plates 220 built into the silencer pipe 210, the silencer pipe 210 is used to be sealed and sleeved on the connecting pipe 10 to form a sealed chamber with the connecting pipe 10 for sound attenuation and noise reduction, and the annular partition plates 220 are used to divide the interior of the silencer pipe 210 into a plurality of different, respectively sealed silencer chambers 211, and then by opening silencer holes 212 units on the connecting pipe 10 (the bottom of each silencer chamber 211), each silencer chamber 211 is combined with the silencer hole 212 units to form a Helmholtz resonator, the principle of which is that by placing some sound-absorbing materials in a closed cavity and a narrow neck or a small opening connected to the cavity or the like, or covering the opening with a layer of cloth, a resonant sound-absorbing structure can be made, and when sound waves When acting on the opening of the resonator, the air column (neck) at the opening will vibrate due to the pressure change of the sound wave. This vibration compresses or expands the air in the neck, which in turn causes the air in the entire cavity to vibrate accordingly. When the frequency of the external sound wave matches the resonant frequency of the resonator, the amplitude of the sound wave inside the resonator will be amplified. This is because the energy of the sound wave is effectively accumulated inside the resonator. On the contrary, for sound waves of non-resonant frequency, the resonator plays an attenuation role, so it is designed as a sound-absorbing structure to enhance the sound absorption effect; the interior of the connecting pipe 10 is connected, and the silencer hole 212 units opened on the connecting pipe 10 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, so that multiple silencer resonators (silencer chamber 211 combined with silencer hole 212 units) are connected in parallel, further forming a multi-degree-of-freedom silencer effect, widening the silencer bandwidth, and reducing noise.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first muffler 20 also includes a plurality of inner ring sheets 230 and outer ring sheets 240, all of which are built into the muffler pipe 210, and each of the muffler chambers 211 is provided with the inner ring sheets 230 and the outer ring sheets 240, the inner ring sheets 230 are connected to the connecting pipe 10 and are spaced apart from the inner side wall of the muffler pipe 210, the outer ring sheets 240 are connected to the inner side wall of the muffler pipe 210 and are spaced apart from the connecting pipe 10, and the inner ring sheets 230 and the outer ring sheets 240 are arranged alternately and spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0039] It should be noted that the inner ring piece 230 is sleeved and connected to the connecting pipe 10 and a gap is reserved between it and the silencer pipe 210, while the outer ring piece 240 is connected to the inner wall of the silencer pipe 210 and a gap is reserved between it and the connecting pipe 10. In this way, after the inner ring piece 230 and the outer ring piece 240 are arranged in a vertically staggered interval, a tortuous channel is formed in each silencer chamber 211. In this way, after the sound wave enters the silencer chamber 211, it will encounter the cavity wall and be reflected. When the frequency of the sound wave matches the natural frequency of the cavity, resonance will occur. At the resonant frequency, the sound wave excites the tortuous cavity to vibrate, and the amplitude reaches the maximum, thereby consuming sound energy and further achieving the purpose of sound absorption.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of the muffler chamber 211 is gradually reduced from top to bottom.

[0041] It should be noted that in this way, different lengths of silencer channels are formed from top to bottom. Different lengths of silencer channels have different silencer frequency widths. The shorter the length of the silencer channel, the higher the silencer frequency. When the silencer channels of different lengths are connected in parallel, the silencer frequency bandwidth is larger and the effect is better than that of the silencer channels of the same length in parallel. It is worth mentioning that the length of the silencer chamber 211 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the spacing distance between two adjacent silencer hole 212 units is also gradually reduced from top to bottom to correspond to the silencer chamber 211; and such an arrangement can further enhance the effect of sound absorption and noise reduction in a small space.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the muffler hole 212 units includes a plurality of muffler holes 212 spaced apart along the circumference of the muffler pipe 210 .

[0043] It is worth noting that, in this way, each silencer chamber 211 has a plurality of silencer holes 212 along the circumferential direction at the bottom for parallel connection, and the width is further increased after parallel connection. In the present application as a preferred embodiment, the number of silencer holes 212 in each silencer hole 212 unit can be set to twelve, and the aperture of each silencer hole 212 can be set to 2mm~4mm. The specific number and aperture size can also be selected and set by technical personnel in this field according to specific needs.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a connecting ring 310 , and the second muffler 30 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe 10 via the connecting ring 310 .

[0045] It is worth noting that the connecting ring 310 is used to fix the second muffler 30 to the bottom of the connecting pipe 10. The connecting ring 310 is connected inside, so that the high-frequency sound waves in the connecting pipe 10 can pass through the connecting ring 310 and enter the second muffler 30 for sound attenuation and noise reduction.

[0046] Furthermore, the second muffler 30 is made of polyurethane cotton.

[0047] It should be noted that polyurethane cotton has a porous structure, which allows sound waves to be reflected and scattered multiple times between the pores after entering the material, converting sound energy into heat energy, achieving a sound absorption effect, especially in the high-frequency band. Therefore, it can be used as the second muffler 30 to absorb high-frequency sound waves.

[0048] Furthermore, the top end of the connecting pipe 10 is bent.

[0049] It should be noted that the bent configuration allows the horizontal portion to be easily connected to the outlet of the air relief valve 420 , while the vertical portion is used for installation and connection of the muffler pipe 210 .

[0050] The present application also provides an air compressor 40, including an air compressor body 410 and an air relief valve 420, wherein the air relief valve 420 is connected to the air compressor body 410, and also includes the air relief muffler of the air compressor 40 as described above, and the top end of the connecting pipe 10 of the air relief muffler of the air compressor 40 is connected to the air relief valve 420.

[0051] It can be understood that the air compressor 40 air leakage silencer of the present application is mainly used to perform sound elimination and noise reduction treatment on the air leakage valve 420 on the air compressor body 410. Therefore, the top end of the connecting pipe 10 of the air compressor 40 air leakage silencer is connected to the air leakage valve 420, and the noise sound waves in the air leakage valve 420 directly enter the connecting pipe 10, and the medium and low frequency sound waves enter each silencer chamber 211 through the silencer hole 212 in the connecting pipe 10, thereby achieving the effect of low frequency silencer, and the high frequency sound waves enter the second silencer 30 from the bottom through the connecting ring 310, thereby achieving the effect of high frequency silencer.

[0052] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
