[0045] It should be noted that some terms are used in the description and claims. Those skilled in the art should understand that the same component can be referred to by different names. The description and claims of the present application do not distinguish components by the difference in names, but by the difference in functions. As mentioned throughout the description and claims, "including" or "including" is an open term, which should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". The subsequent description of the specification is a preferred embodiment for implementing the present application, and the description is for the purpose of the general principles of the specification, not to limit the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0046] The present application provides a monopole array-based capacitor device far-field noise estimation method, as shown in Fig. 1 , comprising the following steps:

[0047] S1: Three-dimensional monopole sound source array modeling, as shown in Fig. 2 , each capacitor unit is equivalent to an ideal monopole sound source, and the shape and sound directivity effect are ignored. In the rectangular coordinate system, according to the actual arrangement of the capacitor array, the monopole sound source is arranged along the x, y, and z directions to form a regular array, and the unit spacing is dx, dy, and dz, the first layer height is H, and the number of rows, columns, and layers of the array are n x , n y , n z , respectively. The position coordinates of the i-th monopole sound source are (x i , y i , z i ).

[0048] S2: Constructing the far-field measurement point sound pressure analytical expression. Under the condition of meeting the far-field condition (i.e. the distance between the measurement point and the sound source is far enough, so that the specific shape and size of the sound source can be ignored. The influence of sound wave propagation, thus allowing the use of a simplified mathematical model to estimate the sound pressure level. Engineering is only concerned with the factory boundary noise, the distance between the factory boundary and the unit is much larger than the unit size, and the factory boundary noise is considered to belong to the far-field sound field category), the position of the far-field measurement point Q is expressed in spherical coordinates as , the i-th monopole sound source (x i , y i , z i ), and the distance r i from the measurement point Q is approximately expressed as:

[0049] (1)

[0050] When the position coordinates of the field point Q are fixed, r i can be regarded as (x i , yi , z i ) of the multivariate function, using the Taylor expansion formula of the multivariate function to expand it at (0, 0, 0) and ignore the second and higher order quantities, then r i can be approximated as:

[0051] (2)

[0052] Due to the interference phenomenon of sound waves generated by different point sources, considering the phase information, the sound pressure contribution P i of the ith monopole sound source at Q is:

[0053] (3)

[0054] Where A is the sound pressure coefficient, the value of A is the sound pressure at the center of the sound source 1 m when r i =1, ω is the angular frequency of the sound wave, k=2πf / c is the wave number, f is the frequency, c is the sound speed, and e is the natural constant. According to the principle of sound pressure superposition, the sound pressure P of the monopole sound source above the ground at the field point Q is:

[0055] (4)

[0056] S3: Ground reflection correction and mirror sound source modeling. Considering that the ground is an ideal rigid reflecting surface, each monopole sound source (i.e. "real source") in the real sound field has a mirror sound source (i.e. "virtual source") below the ground, which produces an additional sound pressure at the measurement point Q with the same phase as the real source. If the position of the ith real source is (x i , y i , z i ), then the position of the mirror source is (x i , y i , -z i ). The distance r i ' from the mirror source to the measurement point Q is approximately expressed as:

[0057] (5)

[0058] The sound pressure contribution P i ' of the ith monopole mirror source at Q is:

[0059] (6)

[0060] Considering the ground reflection effect, the sound pressure P' contributed by the "virtual source" monopole sound source at the field point Q is:

[0061] (7)

[0062] Therefore, the total sound pressure p at Q isQ is:

[0063] (8)

[0064] S4: Directivity factor construction and fast estimation of sound pressure level. After considering the sound wave interference and ground reflection, the total sound pressure p of the capacitor device at the far-field measuring point Q is Q has been given by the superposition of real and virtual sources, and its amplitude is affected by the phase difference of each monopole, forming the directivity characteristics. Let the sound pressure generated by the monopole sound source placed at the origin at Q be p0, and define the directivity factor D of the array in the direction on the array: n is:

[0065] (9)

[0066] Further, the relationship between the total sound pressure level of the capacitor array at the field point Q and the sound pressure level of a single capacitor is:

[0067] (10)

[0068] where L W1 is the sound power level of a single capacitor at frequency f, and n is the number of capacitors. Finally:

[0069] (11)

[0070] Embodiment:

[0071] The far-field noise prediction method based on the monopole array capacitor device is used to calculate the sound field distribution of a large capacitor device. Now, the results of the 500 Hz sound pressure level data of the small capacitor device far-field sound field calculated by the boundary element method and the monopole array-based small capacitor device are compared. The sound power level of the capacitor unit at the main frequency point is shown in Table 1, and the geometric parameters of the small capacitor device to be calculated are shown in Table 2. Eight measuring points are selected in four directions and two heights around the capacitor device, which are opposite to the sleeve side and the non-sleeve side of the capacitor device. The sound pressure level is calculated, and the position coordinates of the field points are shown in Table 3. The 500 Hz sound pressure level calculation comparison results are shown in Table 4. The method proposed in the present application takes less than 0.1 s in total.

[0073]

[0074] Table 2 Geometric parameters of capacitor device to be calculated

[0075]

[0076] Table 3 Location coordinates of the field points of the small capacitor device

[0077]

[0078] Table 4 Comparison results of 500 Hz sound pressure level calculation

[0079]

[0080] Table 1 provides the sound power level data of the capacitor unit at the main frequency points, Table 2 lists the geometric parameters of the small capacitor device to be calculated, and Table 3 specifies the location coordinates of the field points. These information collectively demonstrate the noise prediction of the capacitor device of different frequencies, different sizes and layouts suitable for the application, showing its wide applicability.

[0081] As can be seen from the comparison results in Table 4, the far-field noise prediction method of the capacitor device based on the monopole array proposed in the application is generally similar to the 500 Hz sound pressure level calculation results of the boundary element method, and the large error of individual measuring points may be due to the sound directivity of the capacitor unit. The calculation error is increased by the joint action of multiple capacitor units, but it is generally within the engineering allowable error range. This means that in most cases, the application can provide sufficiently accurate results for noise evaluation in engineering practice.

[0082] In summary, by comparing the calculation results of the boundary element method and the method based on the monopole array, it can be seen that the application not only improves the calculation speed, but also ensures sufficient accuracy, and is particularly suitable for far-field noise evaluation of large-scale capacitor devices that require rapid estimation of sound pressure distribution at multiple measuring points. In addition, although there are certain simplifying assumptions, the method shows good adaptability and reliability in practical application.

In addition, this description is not intended to limit the embodiments of the application to the forms disclosed herein. Although the above has discussed a plurality of example aspects and embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize certain variations, modifications, changes, additions and sub-combinations.
