Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sound absorption, and in particular relates to a passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff based on acoustic capillary effect and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The auditory system is an important component of the environmental perception of humans and other animals, and is also one of the main means of interacting with the external environment. When the human body is in a high noise environment of more than 80 decibels for a long time, hearing will be damaged. If the noise reaches more than 120 decibels, the human hearing organs and internal organs will be irreversibly damaged. Although traditional acoustic protection technology, including traditional porous sound-absorbing materials and active noise reduction technology, guarantees the sound absorption effect under certain conditions, it is not applicable when there are space limitations and lacks designability. Active noise reduction technology has limited effect on high-frequency noise with very short wavelengths.

[0003] Traditional sound-absorbing materials can be divided into two categories according to their sound absorption mechanisms: resonant sound-absorbing materials and porous sound-absorbing materials. Resonant sound-absorbing materials are mainly based on the viscous loss mechanism. When the structure resonates under the excitation of sound waves, the wall viscous damping plays a major role at this time, and the sound absorption effect is the best; however, due to the resonance characteristics, its bandwidth is narrow, and it can only have good sound absorption performance near the resonance frequency. Porous sound-absorbing materials have both viscous loss mechanism and thermal conduction loss mechanism. The material does not have obvious resonance characteristics and has a wide sound absorption bandwidth that can cover the entire high-frequency range. Traditional porous sound-absorbing materials, such as sponges and foams, require a large thickness to achieve noise reduction and are not suitable for confined small spaces.

[0004] At present, active noise reduction technology is the mainstream technology for ear noise control. Its working principle is to output sound waves with opposite phases through electrical signal feedback to offset the incoming noise to achieve the effect of noise suppression. Active noise reduction technology has a good noise reduction effect on low-frequency noise, but for high-frequency noise with a very short wavelength, it is difficult for the electrical signal to accurately and in real time generate an active signal with a phase difference of 0.5 from the noise signal to offset it. When there is a phase offset, it will even enhance the noise. In addition, the active noise reduction system requires a certain amount of time to process the signal and generate reverse sound waves, which causes delays in its operation and affects the user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop passive noise reduction earmuffs that break through the restrictive relationship between broadband noise reduction design and small space size, while achieving timely response. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing foam porous materials and active noise reduction technologies, and to provide a passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff and method based on acoustic capillary effect. An FP resonance cavity structure based on acoustic capillary effect and siphon effect is introduced into the design of the earmuff to achieve passive noise reduction with wide frequency bandwidth and good sound absorption effect.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff based on acoustic capillary effect, which is composed of a plurality of FP resonance cavity superstructures with different working frequencies arranged and combined in three different areas: the ear shell, the ear pad and the headband; the resonance cavities are closely arranged, and some of the resonance cavities are folded to reduce the volume occupied by the structure.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that a high sound absorption coefficient is ensured by the acoustic capillary effect of a relatively thin FP resonant cavity superstructure.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that broadband passive sound absorption and noise reduction is achieved by combining FP resonant cavity superstructures with different gradient lengths.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the sound absorption and noise reduction in the low frequency range is achieved through the gradient parameter design of the FP resonance cavity superstructure, and the high-order sound absorption performance of the FP resonance cavity superstructure is combined to achieve medium and high frequency sound absorption and noise reduction, thereby achieving low, medium and high broadband coverage of the sound absorption frequency band.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the earmuff uses an FP resonance cavity superstructure, and the impedance matching characteristics are optimized by adjusting the cross-sectional area and length of the resonance cavity, so as to achieve the requirements of both sound absorption bandwidth and sound absorption efficiency.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that, through the arrangement of the FP resonance cavity superstructure on the ear shell, ear pad and headband, full coverage of the sound space around the ear is achieved, and all-directional sound waves are passively weakened through the structural resonance sound absorption effect, thereby achieving a multi-directional stereo sound absorption effect.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the earmuff adopts a split structure to maximize the use of the three areas of the earmuff, namely the ear shell, the ear pad and the headband, and the FP resonance cavity superstructure is adapted to the narrow space by folding.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the device utilizes a FP-type multi-order broadband sound-absorbing superstructure, which is simple and regular and has good structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that the FP resonance cavity is a curled channel with a narrow cross-section, different lengths correspond to different frequency groups, and resonance loss occurs after the sound energy enters, and broadband sound absorption is achieved through a combination of different lengths.

[0015] A method for using a passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff based on acoustic capillary effect. When working, noise enters from the resonance cavity openings at the ear shell and the ear pad. The acoustic capillary effect and siphon effect brought by the FP resonance cavity superstructure gradually weaken the noise energy, achieving a broadband passive sound absorption effect.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Sound absorption is achieved through the combination of FP resonant cavity superstructures with different gradient lengths. The combination of resonant cavities can be customized according to the working frequency range to achieve broadband noise reduction and sound absorption in different frequency domains, which is widely used in various noise environments in production and life; 2. By adjusting the cross-sectional area and length of the FP resonant cavity superstructure and optimizing the impedance matching characteristics, the requirements of both sound absorption bandwidth and sound absorption efficiency can be achieved; 3. The FP type multi-order broadband sound absorption superstructure used has a simple and regular shape. The structure is simple and regular, easy to process, and has good structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity, which is suitable for large-scale engineering applications; 4. Through reasonable arrangement and bending and folding of the FP resonant cavity superstructure, it can adapt to the actual volume requirements under different working conditions and achieve broadband noise reduction and sound absorption in a small area; 5. The acoustic capillary effect of the finer FP resonance cavity superstructure ensures a high sound absorption coefficient, and the excellent high-order sound absorption performance of the FP resonance cavity structure is combined to achieve mid- and high-frequency sound absorption and noise reduction, thereby achieving low, medium and high broadband coverage of the sound absorption frequency band; 6. Broadband passive sound absorption and noise reduction is achieved through the combination of FP resonant cavity superstructures with different gradient lengths; 7. By adopting a split structure, the earmuffs are mainly divided into three areas: ear shell, ear pad and headband, so as to achieve full coverage of the sound space around the ear. The sound waves in all directions are passively weakened through the sound absorption effect of structural resonance, achieving a multi-directional three-dimensional sound absorption effect; 8. Through the passive noise reduction design based on acoustic capillary effect, siphon effect and FP resonance cavity structure, the earmuffs can meet the requirements of small working spaces while having low latency, wide frequency range and excellent sound absorption effects.

[0017] In summary, we designed a passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff based on acoustic capillary effect, which uses FP-type multi-order broadband sound absorption superstructure based on acoustic capillary effect and siphon effect. Compared with traditional materials, this structure achieves low-frequency broadband sound absorption in the deep subwavelength range. The structure is simple and regular, easy to process, and has good structural stiffness and bearing capacity, and has good potential for practical engineering application. The sound absorption and noise reduction in the low-frequency range is achieved by structural gradient parameter design, and the sound absorption and noise reduction in the medium and high frequency range is achieved by combining the excellent high-order sound absorption performance of the FP resonance cavity structure, thereby achieving low, medium and high broadband coverage of the sound absorption frequency band. By adjusting the cross-sectional area and length of the FP resonance cavity and optimizing the impedance matching characteristics, the requirements of both sound absorption bandwidth and sound absorption efficiency can be achieved. The reasonable arrangement and bending and folding of the FP resonance cavity can improve the space utilization rate and achieve broadband noise reduction and sound absorption in a small area. The earmuffs adopt a split structure, which is mainly divided into three areas: ear shell, ear pad, and headband, to achieve full coverage of the sound space around the ear. The sound waves in all directions are passively weakened through the structural resonance sound absorption effect, achieving a multi-directional three-dimensional sound absorption effect. This passive noise reduction design based on the acoustic capillary effect, siphon effect and FP resonance cavity structure can adapt to smaller usage spaces while taking advantage of passive noise reduction compared to traditional devices.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1 like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff based on acoustic capillary effect provided by the present invention is mainly composed of a plurality of FP resonance cavity superstructures 1 with different working frequencies which are regularly arranged and combined in three different areas of the ear shell 2, the ear pad 3 and the headband 4; the resonance cavities are closely arranged, and some longer resonance cavities are folded to reduce the volume occupied by the structure.

[0029] In this embodiment, a high sound absorption coefficient is ensured by the acoustic capillary effect of the thinner FP resonant cavity superstructure 1 .

[0030] In this embodiment, broadband passive sound absorption and noise reduction is achieved by combining FP resonant cavity superstructures 1 with different gradient lengths.

[0031] In this embodiment, the gradient parameter design of the FP resonant cavity superstructure 1 is used to achieve sound absorption and noise reduction in the low-frequency range, and the high-order sound absorption performance of the FP resonant cavity superstructure 1 is combined to achieve mid- and high-frequency sound absorption and noise reduction, thereby achieving low, mid and high broadband coverage of the sound absorption frequency band.

[0032] In this embodiment, the earmuff uses the FP resonant cavity superstructure 1, and optimizes the impedance matching characteristics by adjusting the cross-sectional area and length of the resonant cavity, so as to achieve the requirements of taking into account both the sound absorption bandwidth and the sound absorption efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, by arranging the FP resonance cavity superstructure 1 on the ear shell 2, ear pad 3 and headband 4, full coverage of the sound space around the ear is achieved, and all-directional sound waves are passively weakened through the structural resonance sound absorption effect, achieving a multi-directional stereo sound absorption effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the earmuff adopts a split structure to maximize the use of the three areas of the earmuff, namely the ear shell 2, the ear pad 3 and the headband 4, and the FP resonance cavity superstructure 1 is folded to adapt to the narrow space.

[0035] In this embodiment, the device utilizes the FP type multi-order broadband sound absorbing superstructure 1, which has a simple and regular structure and good structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity.

[0036] In this embodiment, the FP resonance cavity 1 is a curled channel with a narrow cross-section. Different lengths correspond to different frequency groups. Resonance loss occurs after the sound energy enters, and broadband sound absorption is achieved through a combination of different lengths.

[0037] Example 2 The present invention provides a method for using a passive superstructure sound absorption and noise reduction earmuff based on acoustic capillary effect. When working, noise enters from the resonance cavity openings at the ear shell 2 and the ear pad 3, and the acoustic capillary effect and siphon effect brought by the FP resonance cavity superstructure 1 gradually weaken the noise energy, thereby achieving a broadband passive sound absorption effect.

[0038] Example 3 1. Analysis of sound absorption coefficient The sound absorption coefficient of a sound-absorbing material or structure refers to the ratio of the energy absorbed by it to the total incident energy, represented by the symbol α, that is: (1-1) In general, when the sound wave p i When incident on the sound absorbing material, part of the sound wave will be reflected r , part of the sound wave will be transmitted to the rear t , and part of it is absorbed by the sound absorbing material. Therefore, the total incident sound wave energy consists of three parts, namely: (1-2) The sound absorption coefficient can be obtained from the above formula: (1-3) in is the sound pressure reflection coefficient, which is the ratio of reflection to incident; is the sound pressure projection coefficient, which is the ratio of the projected part to the total incident. In most cases, when the sound-absorbing material is subjected to sound absorption treatment, the back end is regarded as an absolute hard boundary condition, at which time the transmitted energy is zero and the sound absorption coefficient is: (1-4) like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the vertical axis is the sound absorption coefficient.

[0039] (II) Acoustic siphon effect broadband sound absorption mechanism The most effective way to achieve broadband sound absorption is to increase the number of resonant cavities to obtain multiple different sound absorption peaks. Figure 7 A continuous sound absorption broadband is shown. However, when multiple resonance cavities are used for sound absorption in parallel, in order to achieve 100% sound absorption, a certain resonance cavity is required to absorb all incident energy. At this time, the sound wave will have a phenomenon of concentrated energy flowing to this unit. This phenomenon is called the "acoustic siphon effect". The acoustic siphon effect is caused by the inconsistent acoustic impedance of the surface of the structure. The difference in impedance will produce a sound pressure difference between the two resonance cavities, which will cause the concentrated flow of sound wave particles.

[0040] (III) Analysis of FP resonant cavity structure performance The passive noise reduction earmuffs use the FP resonant cavity structure as the basic subunit, which has multiple sound absorption peaks and can achieve customized sound absorption effects and frequency ranges through different combinations. The superstructure is simple in composition and easy to process, while having good structural rigidity and a certain load-bearing capacity.

[0041] FP structure impedance Z a The cavity impedance Z c and end correction Z e composition: (3-1) Terminal correction impedance Z e It is mainly caused by the end radiation caused by the discontinuous interface area at the opening. Under the action of sound pressure, when the sound wave particles enter the cavity, due to the reduction of area, some particles will flow along the plate surface, resulting in energy loss under the influence of friction; on the other hand, when the sound wave flows out of the cavity, it will form a jet and generate energy loss. In fact, the end impedance has little effect on the sound quality, and it can be expressed as only the form of acoustic resistance, that is, Z e =X e Therefore, the impedance ratio z of the FP structure is s It can be expressed as: (3-2) in is the end-corrected relative acoustic resistivity.

[0042] Here, the sound absorption peak is divided into two parts: peak frequency and sound absorption coefficient. First, according to the impedance matching condition, at the peak frequency, the system resonates and its acoustic reactance should be zero, that is: (3-3) So, we can get: (3-4) Simplified: (3-5) or: (3-6) It can be seen from formula (3-3) that the peak frequency has multiple solutions, which means that the structure has multiple sound absorption peaks. Reasonable arrangement of these FP resonance cavities with different peaks can achieve a broadband sound absorption effect. The peak frequency is determined by the equivalent sound velocity and cavity depth The equivalent sound speed depends on the cross-sectional area of ​​the cavity, so the peak frequency is mainly determined by the cavity depth. The greater the depth, the lower the peak frequency. Therefore, in order to achieve better sound absorption effects in the three frequency bands of low, medium and high, it is necessary to design FP resonance cavities of different lengths. By writing formula (3-5) in the form of (3-6), it can be seen that the cavity depth is 1 / 4 times the wavelength corresponding to the peak frequency, that is, when the wavelength of the sound wave is 4 times the depth of its cavity, the sound absorption peak appears. Obviously, the smaller the cross-sectional area and the greater the depth, the greater the acoustic resistance, and the corresponding sound absorption capacity and peak value will first increase and then decrease. When designing FP superstructure earmuffs, first determine its operating frequency range, and then use formula (3-5) to substitute different cavity depths l0 to calculate the sound absorption peak frequency f corresponding to different depths l, so as to obtain multiple different sound absorption peaks, and obtain a continuous sound absorption broadband through strict coupling between the peaks, as shown in the result. Figure 7 shown.

[0043] After the required FP resonant cavity combination is calculated by the formula, further verification is required, such as Figure 6 As shown, the resonant cavity of all lengths of the combination is modeled, and then a sound absorption simulation experiment is performed to obtain the simulation results as shown in Figure 7 As shown, it can be seen that the combination can achieve a stable sound absorption coefficient of more than 0.7 in the 500-4000Hz range, especially in the 500-800Hz range, the sound absorption coefficient can be close to 1.0. Overall, broadband sound absorption with good sound absorption effect is achieved.

[0044] Get as Figure 7 After the simulation results are in line with expectations, the resonant cavity assembly is embedded in the earmuff, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the next step is to carry out the physical experiment. Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1, the model is a collection of all FP resonant cavities in the earmuff. A simulation experiment was also conducted on the model before the actual experiment, and the results are shown in Figure 1. Figure 5 As shown. It can be found that Figure 5 Results and Figure 7Compared with the results, the overall sound absorption coefficient is lower, because the sound absorption coefficient is affected by the number of resonance cavity openings per unit area. The more FP resonance cavities per unit area, the higher the sound absorption coefficient.

[0045] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention.
