Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-frequency noise control, and in particular to a band gap adjustable acoustic metamaterial structure and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low-frequency vibration noise has always been a difficulty in the field of vibration noise control due to its long wavelength, high energy, and limited treatment effect of traditional vibration and noise reduction methods (such as dynamic vibration absorbers and sound-absorbing materials). Traditional vibration noise control is usually achieved by applying sound insulation materials, constraint damping, and dynamic vibration absorbers. However, sound insulation materials and constraint damping measures have limited effect in the low-frequency band, and dynamic vibration absorbers have the problems of narrow control frequency band and large mass, which leads to certain limitations in their application in vehicle environments.

[0003] In recent years, the proposal of acoustic metamaterial structure has brought new ideas for low-frequency vibration noise control. However, traditional acoustic metamaterial structures have relatively fixed structures and relatively narrow band gaps, and cannot adapt to changing and wide excitation environments after being manufactured, making it difficult to solve the problems of variable frequency vibration control caused by changes in excitation frequency and wide frequency vibration caused by wide frequency excitation, and their use scenarios have always been limited.

[0004] CN111833837B belongs to the technical field of acoustic metamaterials and discloses an adjustable single-stage multi-band gap acoustic metamaterial structure and an adjustment method. The base structure is connected to the concentrated mass through a plurality of vibration-absorbing springs and vibration-absorbing dampers at different positions. The vibration-absorbing dampers are located on one side of the corresponding vibration-absorbing springs. The vibration-absorbing springs, vibration-absorbing dampers, and concentrated mass form a single-stage oscillator. A plurality of single-stage oscillators are periodically arranged on the base structure to form a single-stage adjustable multi-band gap acoustic metamaterial. The method for generating the number of band gaps and adjusting the position of the band gaps of the acoustic metamaterial includes: periodically adding the supermaterial structure to a classical beam, plate, or shell, and adjusting the number of band gaps and the position of the band gaps generated by the acoustic metamaterial by adjusting the stiffness of the vibration-absorbing springs, the damping coefficient of the vibration-absorbing dampers, and the installation position of the vibration-absorbing springs. However, this existing technology is mainly used in building engineering and cannot be applied to the automotive field.

[0005] CN117524180A provides an adjustable working frequency acoustic metamaterial basic unit and its array structure, which includes a film, a through hole, a support frame, and an oscillator. The through hole is provided on the film. One end of the support frame is mounted on the surface of a structure to be suppressed and the other end supports the film. The oscillator is closely attached to the film to form a mass-spring system. When the vibration substrate is excited by external excitation to produce vibration and acoustic radiation, the film and the oscillator produce local resonance at the corresponding frequency, open the local resonance band gap, and thus suppress vibration and acoustic radiation. However, the structure of this existing technology is relatively complex, and the adjustment of the working frequency is not convenient. SUMMARY

[0047] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a bandgap adjustable acoustic metamaterial structure, including a main structure 1 and an oscillator 2. The main structure 1 is a multi-layer plate structure, and the overall shape and size of each plate are the same. A gap is provided between adjacent plates, and an oscillator 2 is sandwiched in each gap. The inner end of the oscillator 2 is rotatably connected to the main structure 1, and the outer end of the oscillator 2 is exposed outside the range of the main structure 1. The exposed length of the oscillator 2 can change with rotation.

[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the main structure 1 includes a top plate 11 and a positioning plate 12. The outer contour of the positioning plate 12 is generally shaped like a nautilus shell. The top plate 11 is arranged parallel to the upper surface of the positioning plate 12. The overall shape and size of the top plate 11 are the same as those of the positioning plate 12. A gap is left between the top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12. The top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12 are fixedly connected by a cylindrical pin set at the center of the spiral. An oscillator 2 is sandwiched in the gap between the top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12. The inner end of the oscillator 2 The oscillator 2 is rotatably sleeved on the cylindrical pin, and its outer end is exposed outside the range of the positioning plate 12 and the top plate 11. The upper surface of the positioning plate 12 has a plurality of hemispherical recesses 121 arranged circumferentially around the cylindrical pin. The corresponding position in the middle of the oscillator 2 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion 212 that cooperates with the hemispherical recesses 121. The hemispherical protrusion 212 can slide into the hemispherical recesses 121 to fix the oscillator 2 relative to the positioning plate 12. A positioning plate 12 and the oscillator 2 that cooperates with it together constitute a unit structure.

[0049] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the oscillator 2 is a flat, one-line structure, which can be divided into three parts from the inner end to the outer end: a connecting part 21, a scale part 22, and a mass part 23. The connecting part 21 is located at the innermost part of the main structure 1. The inner end of the connecting part 21 has a circular through hole 211, which is rotatably fitted onto a cylindrical pin. The other end of the connecting part 21 is fixedly connected to the scale part 22. A hemispherical protrusion 212 is provided near the scale part 22. The scale part 22 is located in the middle section of the oscillator 2 and has scale lines and corresponding bandgap frequency values ​​distributed along the axial direction. The mass part 23 is located at the outermost end and its width is greater than that of the scale part 22. It is used to simulate additional mass and realize the mass function of the oscillator 2.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the spiral center of the positioning plate 12, whose outer contour is shaped like a nautilus shell, is the rotation center. The distance between the spiral center and the edge of the main structure 1 is different at different points. Different hemispherical recesses 121 on the positioning plate 12 correspond to different lengths of the oscillator 2 extending out, and also correspond to different scale lines and bandgap frequency values ​​on the oscillator 2. The bandgap frequency is a specific frequency range in which the propagation of sound waves is completely suppressed in acoustic metamaterials. Its essence originates from the periodic structural design of metamaterials, forming an acoustic bandgap through local resonance or Bragg scattering effect. Since the top plate 11, the positioning plate 12, and the oscillator 2 are all relatively thin plate-shaped or sheet-shaped structures, they have a certain degree of elasticity. Under the action of external force, the hemispherical protrusions 212 can slide in and out of the hemispherical recesses 121. Therefore, by manually rotating the oscillator 2 and fixing it with different hemispherical recesses 121, the length of the oscillator 2 exposed outside the main body range can be controlled, thereby realizing the adjustment of the bandgap frequency.

[0051] Example 2, please refer to Figure 6As shown, this embodiment provides a bandgap adjustable acoustic metamaterial structure, which adopts different top plate 11 and positioning plate 12 structures based on embodiment 1.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main structure 1 includes a top plate 11 and a positioning plate 12. The positioning plate 12 is generally semi-circular, and the top plate 11 is arranged parallel to the upper surface of the positioning plate 12. The overall shape and size of the top plate 11 are the same as those of the positioning plate 12. A gap is left between the top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12. The top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12 are fixedly connected by a cylindrical pin, which is located near the straight edge of the positioning plate 12, offset from the center. A vibrator 2 is sandwiched in the gap between the top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12. The inner end of the vibrator 2 is rotatably sleeved on the cylindrical pin, and the outer end of the vibrator 2 is exposed outside the range of the positioning plate 12 and the top plate 11. The upper surface of the positioning plate 12 has a plurality of hemispherical recesses 121 arranged in the semi-circular direction with the cylindrical pin as the center. The corresponding position in the middle of the vibrator 2 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion 212 that cooperates with the hemispherical recesses 121. The hemispherical protrusion 212 can slide into the hemispherical recesses 121 to fix the vibrator 2 relative to the positioning plate 12. A positioning plate 12 and the vibrator 2 that cooperates with it together constitute a unit structure.

[0053] Specifically, the oscillator 2 has a single-piece structure, which can be divided into three parts from the inner end to the outer end: a connecting part 21, a scale part 22, and a mass part 23. The connecting part 21 is located at the innermost part of the main structure 1. The inner end of the connecting part 21 has a circular through hole 211, which is rotatably sleeved on a cylindrical pin. The other end of the connecting part 21 is fixedly connected to the scale part 22. A hemispherical protrusion 212 is provided near the scale part 22. The scale part 22 is located in the middle section of the oscillator 2 and has scale lines and corresponding bandgap frequency values ​​distributed along the axial direction. The mass part 23 is located at the outermost end and its width is greater than that of the scale section. It is used to simulate additional mass and realize the mass function of the oscillator 2.

[0054] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: since the position of the cylindrical pin is off-center, the distance between the cylindrical pin and the arc-shaped edge of the main body structure 1 is different at different points. Different hemispherical recesses 121 on the positioning plate 12 correspond to different lengths of the oscillator 2 extending out, and also correspond to different scale lines and bandgap frequency values ​​on the oscillator 2. Therefore, by manually rotating the oscillator 2 and fixing it with different hemispherical recesses 121, the length of the oscillator 2 exposed outside the main body range can be controlled, thereby realizing the adjustment of the bandgap frequency.

[0055] Please see Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the top plate 11 and the positioning plate 12 can be in the shape of an arc, a circle, an ellipse, etc., and the rotation center of the vibrator 2 is set off from the geometric center so that the vibrator 2 has different exposed lengths during rotation. These are not listed one by one.

[0056] Example 3, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a bandgap adjustable acoustic metamaterial structure, which adds a series connection function based on embodiment 1 or 2.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main structure 1 includes a top plate 11 and multiple positioning plates 12. A positioning plate 12 and the oscillator 2 that cooperates with it together constitute a unit structure. In this embodiment, multiple unit structures can be connected in series below the top plate 11 to achieve multi-bandgap characteristics.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main structure 1 includes a top plate 11 and multiple identical positioning plates 12. Each adjacent positioning plate 12 is arranged parallel to each other. The top plate 11 is arranged parallel to each other on the uppermost positioning plate 12. The overall shape and size of the top plate 11 are the same as those of the positioning plates 12. Gaps are left between the top plate 11 and the positioning plates 12, as well as between each adjacent positioning plate 12. The top plate 11 and each positioning plate 12 are fixedly connected by a cylindrical pin located at the rotation center. An oscillator 2 is sandwiched in each gap, and the inner end of the oscillator 2 is rotatably sleeved. The outer end of the vibrator 2 is exposed outside the range of the positioning plate 12 and the top plate 11, attached to the cylindrical pin. The upper surface of the positioning plate 12 has a plurality of hemispherical recesses 121 arranged circumferentially around the cylindrical pin. The corresponding position of the middle part of the vibrator 2 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion 212 that cooperates with the hemispherical recesses 121. The hemispherical protrusion 212 can slide into the hemispherical recesses 121 to fix the vibrator 2 relative to the positioning plate 12. A positioning plate 12 and the vibrator 2 that cooperates with it together constitute a unit structure. This acoustic metamaterial structure has multiple unit structures connected in series.

[0059] Multiple positioning plates 12 can be connected in series by cylindrical pins or by bolts and nuts.

[0060] Specifically, the main structure 1 includes a top plate 11 and multiple identical positioning plates 12. Each adjacent positioning plate 12 is arranged parallel to each other. The top plate 11 is arranged parallel to each other on the uppermost positioning plate 12. The overall shape and size of the top plate 11 are the same as those of the positioning plates 12. Gaps are left between the top plate 11 and the positioning plates 12, as well as between each adjacent positioning plate 12. The top plate 11 and each positioning plate 12 are detachably connected by bolts located at the rotation center. An oscillator 2 is clamped in each gap. The inner end of the oscillator 2 is rotatably sleeved on the bolt, and the outer end of the oscillator 2 protrudes outside the area of ​​the positioning plates 12 and the top plate 11. The upper surface of the positioning plate 12 has multiple hemispherical recesses 121 arranged circumferentially around the center of the cylindrical pin. At the corresponding position in the center of the vibrator 2, a hemispherical protrusion 212 is provided to mate with the hemispherical recesses 121. The hemispherical protrusion 212 can slide into the hemispherical recesses 121 to fix the vibrator 2 relative to the positioning plate 12. One positioning plate 12 and its mating vibrator 2 together constitute a unit structure. This acoustic metamaterial structure has multiple unit structures connected in series. Bolts protrude from the lower surface of the lowest positioning plate 12 and are threaded with nuts. After adjusting the positions of all the vibrators 2, tightening the nuts fixes each unit structure and the top plate 11. Compared to the cylindrical pin fixing connection, the bolt and nut connection allows for the increase or decrease of the number of unit structures as needed, saving manufacturing costs.

[0061] This invention also provides a vehicle comprising the above-described bandgap adjustable acoustic metamaterial structure, mounted on the vehicle's sheet metal, and possessing all the advantages of the bandgap adjustable acoustic metamaterial structure.
