Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vibration noise control such as combustion chamber unstable combustion suppression and fairing silencing, and in particular to a variable back cavity sound liner sound absorption structure coupled with mechanical impedance. Background Art

[0002] The impact of noise is not limited to the harm to the physiological and psychological systems of the human body, but also has harm to environmental optimization and system stability. The design and use of acoustic linings are derived from the needs of noise control and acoustic performance optimization. With the advancement of industrial technology and the enhancement of environmental protection awareness, its application scope continues to expand. In the aviation and automotive industries, the application of acoustic linings can significantly reduce the noise generated by engine combustion, airflow, structural vibration, etc., and provide passengers with a more comfortable environment and riding experience. At the same time, there is an unstable state in the combustion system in the engine, and the cause may be the coupling of combustion noise and heat release pulsation. Therefore, setting a specific structure of acoustic lining in the system can realize the regulation of acoustic performance and avoid structural vibration damage caused by unstable combustion. The application of acoustic linings usually works based on the principle of Helmholtz resonance or impedance matching, which is of great significance to reducing equipment noise.

[0003] The structural forms of acoustic liners are varied and are usually matched according to application requirements and noise reduction targets. The design concept is to absorb sound waves and control and optimize acoustic performance through the combination of materials and structural optimization. Traditional engine acoustic liners are mainly composed of perforated plates and back cavities, and different sound absorption characteristics are controlled by changing the structural parameters. However, due to the application scenarios, traditional structural acoustic liners are highly dependent on spatial structures. Combining the principle of mechanical impedance to achieve sound absorption through resonance, mechanical impedance thin plates are coupled to the traditional acoustic lining structure to break the fixed structure, and use their damping and elastic properties to improve and regulate the sound absorption performance of the acoustic lining in a limited space.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a variable back cavity sound absorbing structure with coupled mechanical impedance to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a variable back cavity sound liner sound absorption structure coupled with mechanical impedance, which introduces mechanical impedance by adding an "N"-shaped thin plate to achieve low-frequency sound absorption and sound liner sound absorption frequency band regulation.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A variable back cavity sound liner sound absorption structure with coupled mechanical impedance includes a back cavity fixing plate, an "N"-shaped thin plate and a perforated plate. The perforated plate is arranged on the surface of the front part of the back cavity fixing plate that contacts the working environment, and the "N"-shaped thin plate is arranged between the top wall connecting the back cavity fixing plate and the perforated plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the “N”-shaped thin plates are staggered between the perforated plates and the back cavity top plate, which can separate the sound lining back cavity, thereby having a sound absorption effect on multiple frequency bands.

[0008] Furthermore, the “N”-shaped thin plate constructs a plurality of back cavities, and the combined resonance of the perforated plate and the back cavities can be used to dissipate acoustic energy in different frequency bands.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the "N"-shaped thin plate is fixed to the back cavity fixing plate, and the other end of the "N"-shaped thin plate is connected to a perforated plate. Under the action of airflow, the elasticity of the perforated plate can be used to adjust the upper and lower positions of the perforated plate to change the back cavity depth.

[0010] Furthermore, the distortion angle of the “N”-shaped thin plate can be adjusted to adapt to the floating of different depths of the back cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the “N”-shaped thin plate can be replaced with different physical properties and structures according to airflow conditions to achieve changes in different back cavity depths and weaken the sound energy in the target frequency band.

[0019] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Example

[0020] A variable back cavity sound liner sound absorption structure coupled with mechanical impedance, which introduces mechanical impedance by adding an "N" type thin plate to achieve low-frequency sound absorption and sound liner sound absorption frequency band regulation, fixes the thin plate between the perforated plate and the back plate of the back cavity, divides the back cavity into multiple areas, and adjusts its damping and elasticity by changing the thickness, shape and material of the thin plate for different sound absorption frequency bands. When the sound wave passes through the perforated plate, the air column in the neck of the small hole reciprocates like a piston under the action of the sound wave pressure, and has a certain air mass. The movement is continuous friction with the wall of the small hole, consuming part of the sound energy. The air in the cavity is elastic and can hinder the pressure change in the cavity caused by the movement of the hole neck column. The air column at the hole neck is regarded as mass and the air in the cavity is regarded as a spring, forming an elastic vibration system. When the frequency of the external sound wave is equal to its resonant frequency, it will cause the air column in the hole neck to resonate. At this time, the vibration displacement is the largest, the vibration speed is the largest, the friction loss of the hole wall is also the largest, and the sound energy dissipation is the strongest. At the same time, since the wall panels separating different back cavities are also elastic, the system, under the original resonance dissipation effect, couples the mechanical impedance of the thin plate. The sound waves entering different back cavities force the thin plates of the corresponding resonance frequencies to resonate, first converting the sound energy into elastic potential energy, which is then dissipated using the damping of the thin plate, thereby achieving regulation of the sound absorption performance in the target frequency band. Example

[0021] The sound absorbing structure of the sound liner of the present invention improves the low-frequency sound absorption performance of the sound liner by adding a thin plate structure, uses an "N"-shaped thin plate to construct a special-shaped back cavity area to match different target sound absorption frequency bands, and separates back cavities of different sizes through reasonable arrangement. Combined with the perforated plate, it can be regarded as a plurality of Helmholtz resonators in parallel. The difference is that the separated thin plates are elastic, and together with the elasticity of the air layer and the mass of the thin plates, a resonance system is formed, which has a greater sound absorption effect near the resonance frequency of the system, realizing the dissipation of sound energy. At the same time, the back cavity depth can be changed under the action of airflow, further broadening the sound absorption frequency band of the sound liner. Example

[0022] The present invention realizes the low-frequency sound absorption performance of the sound liner in a small spatial scale range by coupling the mechanical impedance of the thin plate. The traditional sound liner improves the low-frequency sound absorption performance by deepening the back cavity depth and increasing the perforation diameter, which is difficult to apply to mechanical equipment with compact space such as engines. The back cavity is separated by a thin plate with appropriate damping and elasticity, and the resonance of the thin plate can be used to dissipate the energy of the low-frequency sound wave, thereby broadening and improving the sound absorption performance of the low-frequency part. Example

[0023] According to the application scenarios and space limitations, based on the traditional multi-degree-of-freedom sound lining structure, that is, multiple layers of perforated plates are connected in series, and "N"-shaped thin plates are arranged between adjacent perforated plates, which are regarded as the impedances of multiple back cavities connected in parallel and then in series, so as to cope with the noise frequency bands of the engine under different working conditions and realize multi-modal sound absorption regulation. The elastically connected perforated plates adjust the back cavity depth during the up and down reciprocating motion of the "N"-shaped thin plates, broaden the sound absorption frequency band, and at the same time convert the vibration energy of the engine into elastic potential energy dissipation, effectively weakening the vibration noise during the operation of the engine.

[0024] In summary, the present invention provides a variable back cavity sound absorbing structure coupled with mechanical impedance. The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described.
