Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an acoustic proportional power divider based on a planar five-cavity coupling configuration and a working method, belonging to the technical field of acoustic functional device design. Background Art
[0002] In the field of acoustic signal processing, active acoustic electronic devices struggle to meet the demands of flattening and integrating acoustic equipment due to complex internal circuitry and high manufacturing costs. Consequently, power distribution technology based on passive acoustic structures has become a research hotspot. These technologies achieve the control and distribution of acoustic wave energy through purely physical configuration design, offering advantages such as low cost, high reliability, and ease of integration.
[0003] Existing research shows that the use of resonant passive acoustic metasurfaces can achieve directional control of the output acoustic wave power. However, such devices typically rely on the energy localization effect at a specific resonant frequency, resulting in a narrow operating frequency band and a significantly increased configuration complexity. Specifically, traditional resonant power dividers require precise design of the geometric parameters of the metasurface unit to match the target frequency, which not only limits the number of operating frequencies of the device but also sharply deteriorates the power distribution performance at non-resonant frequencies. In addition, complex three-dimensional configurations or special-shaped structures further increase the difficulty of the fabrication process, making it difficult to adapt to the requirements of planar integration. Furthermore, existing technologies have not yet solved the technical difficulties of proportional power distribution of acoustic waves under non-resonant mechanisms. In scenarios where the same audio source signal needs to be fed synchronously to multiple processing devices (such as array speaker systems, multi-channel acoustic sensor networks, etc.), traditional resonant devices cannot simultaneously meet the dual requirements of wideband operation and precise power distribution due to frequency band limitations and configuration constraints.
[0004] Therefore, developing a passive power divider based on a non-resonant acoustic structure, capable of operating at multiple frequencies and achieving proportional power distribution has become a technical direction that urgently needs to be broken through in the field of acoustic functional device design.

[0041] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] An acoustic proportional power divider based on a planar five-cavity coupling configuration includes a rectangular cavity 1, a rectangular cavity 2, a rectangular cavity 3, a rectangular cavity 4, and a rectangular cavity 5 arranged in parallel and equidistantly. The size of each rectangular cavity is the same, and the length is ,width and height .
[0043] Each two adjacent rectangular cavities are connected by a set of air slits 6, and the air slits 6 between the rectangular cavity 1 and the rectangular cavity 2 are the same as the air slits 6 between the rectangular cavity 4 and the rectangular cavity 5, both including X air slits 6 arranged horizontally and equidistantly.
[0044] The distance between the leftmost air slot 6 and the leftmost port of the cavity is 36 mm, and the distance between the rightmost air slot 6 and the rightmost port of the cavity is 33 mm. The horizontal arrangement period of the air slots 6 is 7 mm, resulting in a total length of the coupling structure of 7X + 36 + 33.
[0045] The air slit 6 between the second rectangular cavity 2 and the third rectangular cavity 3 is the same as the air slit 6 between the third rectangular cavity 3 and the fourth rectangular cavity 4, and both include Y air slits 6 arranged horizontally and equidistantly, and Y<X;
[0046] The distance between the leftmost air slot 6 in the two sets of air slots 6 and the leftmost port of the cavity is 74 mm, and the distance between the rightmost air slot 6 and the rightmost port of the cavity is 65 mm. The horizontal arrangement period of the air slots 6 is 7 mm, resulting in a total length of the coupling structure of 7Y + 74 + 65.
[0047] The height of each air slit 6 is consistent with the height of the rectangular cavity, that is: , the width of each air slit 6 is the same, both .
[0048] The lengths of the plurality of air slits 6 in each group of air slits 6 The length of each air slit 6 is different along the horizontal direction.
[0049] Furthermore, the length of the X air slits 6 between the rectangular cavity 1 and the rectangular cavity 2 and between the rectangular cavity 4 and the rectangular cavity 5 is The change expression is as follows:
[0050] (1)
[0051] In formula (1):
[0052] , is the serial number of the air slit.
[0053] Furthermore, the length of the Y air slits 6 between the rectangular cavity 2 and the rectangular cavity 3 and between the rectangular cavity 3 and the rectangular cavity 4 is The change expression is as follows:
[0054] (2)
[0055] In formula (2):
[0056] , is the serial number of the air slit.
[0057] Furthermore, the relationship between the coupling strength and the length of the air slit 6 is: .
[0058] During the acoustic cavity coupling process, the change in coupling strength can be controlled by the length of the air slit 6. Since the air slit 6 is the intermediate medium connecting two adjacent rectangular cavities, the longer the length of the air slit 6, the higher the coupling strength, and the shorter the length of the air slit 6, the smaller the coupling strength. When there is no air slit 6, the coupling strength is 0.
[0059] The present invention provides a method for operating an acoustic proportional power divider based on a planar five-cavity coupling configuration, the method comprising the following steps:
[0060] S1: Since the air gap 6 between the rectangular cavity 1 and the rectangular cavity 2 is the same as the air gap 6 between the rectangular cavity 4 and the rectangular cavity 5, the coupling strength between the rectangular cavity 1 and the rectangular cavity 2 is the same as the coupling strength between the rectangular cavity 4 and the rectangular cavity 5, which is recorded as Since the air gap 6 between the rectangular cavity 2 and the rectangular cavity 3 is the same as the air gap 6 between the rectangular cavity 3 and the rectangular cavity 4, the coupling strength between the rectangular cavity 2 and the rectangular cavity 3 is consistent with the coupling strength between the rectangular cavity 3 and the rectangular cavity 4, which is recorded as ;
[0061] S2: The coupling matrix between sound and structure can be obtained :
[0062] (3)
[0063] S3: Calculate the eigenstates of the power divider based on the coupling matrix:
[0064] (4)
[0065] In formula 4:
[0066] , which represents the coupling strength and coupling strength The mixing angle between
[0067] Represents the sound field state of rectangular cavity one (1);
[0068] Represents the sound field state of rectangular cavity three (3);
[0069] Represents the sound field state of rectangular cavity five (5);
[0070] S4: You can get:
[0071] The sound power distribution of rectangular cavity 1 is ;
[0072] The sound power distribution of rectangular cavity 3 is ;
[0073] The sound power distribution of the rectangular cavity 5 is ;
[0074] S5: Let the coupling strength at the starting position , the coupling strength at the end position , making the coupling strength The peak value is higher than the coupling strength Peak value;
[0075] S6: You will get:
[0076] In the starting position, the mixing angle , so: the sound power distribution of rectangular cavity one (1) is 0, the sound power distribution of rectangular cavity three (3) is 1, and the sound power distribution of rectangular cavity five (5) is 0, which meets the input condition of the left port of rectangular cavity three (3);
[0077] At the end position, the blend angle ,Right now: , so: the sound power distribution of rectangular cavity one (1), rectangular cavity three (3) and rectangular cavity five (5) at the end position are all , that is, have the same proportion of output power.
[0078] Therefore, it can be seen that as long as the coupling strength that meets the conditions can be selected and coupling strength , making The starting position is 0 and the final position is , the proportional power divider can achieve proportional power distribution from the left side of rectangular cavity three (3) to the right sides of rectangular cavity one (1), rectangular cavity three (3), and rectangular cavity five (5). Furthermore, because the entire design utilizes inter-cavity coupling for acoustic power distribution, without any resonant response, the operating frequency is not limited to a single point; instead, proportional output power distribution can be achieved across multiple frequency points.
[0079] Example 1:
[0080] Each of the five parallel, equidistant rectangular cavities features an iron shell (sound velocity 5200 m / s, density 7860 kg / m³) and is filled with air (sound velocity 343 m / s, density 1.21 kg / m³). The length, width, and height are 300 mm, 10 mm, and 10 mm, respectively. The air slots 6 connecting two adjacent rectangular cavities also use iron as rigid walls and are filled with air. This ensures that sound waves can couple with each other through the air slots as they propagate through the air within the rectangular cavities.
[0081] 33 air slits 6 equidistantly arranged in the horizontal direction are set between rectangular cavity 1 and rectangular cavity 2, and between rectangular cavity 4, 4 and rectangular cavity 5, and 23 air slits 6 equidistantly arranged in the horizontal direction are set between rectangular cavity 2, 2 and rectangular cavity 3, and between rectangular cavity 3, 3 and rectangular cavity 4, 4.
[0082] Take the 9 kHz sound wave incident as an example, Figure 3 As shown (in order to improve the distinction, the drawing process adopts the form of height expression, that is, the higher the power, the higher the height), when the sound wave is input from the left port of rectangular cavity three 3, the sound wave is regulated by the internal structure of the planar five-cavity coupling, and an equal proportion of output power distribution is generated at the right ports of rectangular cavity one 1, rectangular cavity three 3 and rectangular cavity five 5, thereby realizing the acoustic equal-proportional power divider based on the planar five-cavity coupling configuration described in the present invention.
[0083] In addition, if Figure 4 As shown, for other sound wave incident frequencies, such as 7 kHz, 10 kHz and 12 kHz, the results of proportional power distribution output of rectangular cavity 1 1, rectangular cavity 3 3 and rectangular cavity 5 5 right ports can also be obtained under the condition of incident sound wave at the left port of rectangular cavity 3, which reflects that the acoustic proportional power divider based on the planar five-cavity coupling configuration provided by the present invention has the advantage of multi-frequency response.
