Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of noise reduction technology for air conditioning systems of engineering vehicles, and particularly relates to a three-segment wideband noise reduction system for air conditioning systems of engineering vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning systems are an essential component of modern engineering vehicles, creating a comfortable driving environment for passengers. However, when the air conditioning is running, the high-speed airflow passing through the vents generates significant "wind noise." This noise not only reduces driving comfort but can also cause driver fatigue over time, affecting driving safety. Furthermore, engineering vehicles often operate in harsh conditions with high vibration and high dust levels. The high-powered diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and other equipment they are equipped with generate low-frequency noise and mid-to-high-frequency airflow noise, which can be transmitted into the cab through the air conditioning system, further deteriorating the driving environment.

[0003] In recent years, the application of silencing structures in the noise reduction systems of engineering vehicle air conditioning systems has become a common passive noise reduction method, but its performance still has significant shortcomings. For example, porous sound-absorbing materials such as lightweight sound-absorbing cotton and aluminum fiber sound-absorbing panels are pasted inside the air duct, relying on the internal pores of the material to dissipate sound energy. However, these materials are prone to pore blockage under long-term high dust and high humidity conditions, leading to a significant decrease in noise reduction performance and making it difficult to maintain effectiveness for a long time. Another example is the installation of airflow guiding structures such as wind deflectors and guide vanes inside the air duct, or the arrangement of resistive structures such as low-frequency resonance silencing cavities and expansion chamber silencing cavities. While the former can improve airflow organization and suppress some eddies, its absorption effect on mid-to-low frequency noise is limited, and the latter mainly targets specific frequency band noise, making it difficult to cover broadband noise. Furthermore, while airflow guiding structures designed based on biomimetic principles can effectively suppress eddy current shedding and reduce high-frequency aerodynamic noise, their attenuation capability for mid-to-low frequency noise is weak. Overall, existing methods often focus only on a single noise reduction mechanism and fail to organically combine broadband attenuation, resonant absorption and biomimetic flow guidance and vortex suppression. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve continuous, comprehensive and efficient noise reduction under the complex and ever-changing working conditions of engineering vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the three-section wideband engineering vehicle air conditioning noise reduction system described in this embodiment includes a tubular coaxial first noise reduction section 1, a second noise reduction section 3, and a third noise reduction section 6 arranged sequentially along the airflow direction; the cross-sectional area of ​​the second noise reduction section 3 is larger than that of the first noise reduction section 1, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the third noise reduction section 6 is larger than that of the second noise reduction section 3; the first noise reduction section 1 and the second noise reduction section 3 are connected by a first expansion chamber 9, and the second noise reduction section 3 and the third noise reduction section 6 are connected by a second expansion chamber 5; the first noise reduction section 1 has a plurality of sound-absorbing modules 2 with Helmholtz resonant cavity structures on its pipe wall; the second noise reduction section 3 has a flow divider 8 and a hollow perforated partition 4 inside, the hollow perforated partition 4 has a cavity 14, and the cavity 14 communicates with a sound-absorbing hole 13 on one side of the hollow perforated partition 4; the air outlet of the third noise reduction section 6 is provided with biomimetic guide fan blades 7 for suppressing the generation and shedding of vortices.

[0022] The first noise reduction section 1 forms the initial airflow channel, possessing the smallest possible cross-sectional area. Multiple sound-absorbing modules 2 are evenly distributed along the axial and circumferential directions on the pipe wall of this section, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it is specifically designed to absorb low-to-mid frequency noise; each sound-absorbing module 2 is a multi-cavity series structure based on the Helmholtz resonance principle, which is connected to the main air duct through the chamber 10 and the connecting hole 12. The module contains multiple chambers 10, and adjacent chambers 10 are connected in series through the chamber connecting hole 11.

[0023] Preferably, the shapes, cross-sectional areas and lengths of the connecting holes 11 of different chambers do not completely overlap, so that each chamber 10 has a different resonant frequency, allowing a single sound-absorbing module 2 to cover a wider low-frequency band, while the combination of multiple sound-absorbing modules 2 further broadens the sound absorption band for mid-low frequency noise.

[0024] Preferably, the cross-section of the first noise reduction segment 1 is a square with a length of 80mm.

[0025] Preferably, the sound-absorbing module 2 is distributed in the circumferential and axial directions of the first noise reduction section 1.

[0026] Optionally, the sound-absorbing modules 2 are distributed uniformly or non-uniformly along the circumferential and axial directions.

[0027] Optionally, the two connecting holes (connecting hole 12 and chamber connecting hole 11) of the first chamber (the chamber connected to the main channel) of the sound-absorbing module 2 are axially perpendicular or intersecting in three dimensions.

[0028] Preferably, the noise frequencies covered by the chamber 10 are not all the same.

[0029] Preferably, the noise frequency range covered by the sound-absorbing module 2 is not entirely the same.

[0030] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting hole 12 is circular or polygonal.

[0031] Preferably, the perforated surface of the sound-absorbing module 2 is on the same horizontal plane as the flow channel surface of the first noise reduction section 1.

[0032] Preferably, the wall thickness of the sound-absorbing module 2 is 1 mm.

[0033] Preferably, the diameter of the chamber connection hole 11 is 1 mm to 2 mm and the length is 11 mm to 26 mm, and the chamber 101 is a cube with a side length of 13 mm.

[0034] Preferably, the sound-absorbing modules 2 are spaced 135mm apart along the axial direction of the first noise reduction section 1, and the number of them distributed axially is 4-12.

[0035] Preferably, the noise reduction frequency band of the noise reduction module 2 is 300-1200Hz.

[0036] Preferably, the outlet of the first noise reduction section 1 is connected to the first expansion chamber 9. The flow cross-section of the first expansion chamber 9 is significantly larger than that of the first noise reduction section 1, forming the first abrupt change in cross-section. This structure utilizes the principle of acoustic impedance mismatch to cause some of the mid-frequency sound waves propagating there to be reflected and interfere with each other, thereby achieving the first reactive noise cancellation.

[0037] After passing through the first expansion chamber 9, the airflow enters the second noise reduction section 3, which has a medium cross-sectional area. A flow divider 8 is provided in the second noise reduction section 3, which initially divides the oncoming airflow into two streams, upper and lower.

[0038] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the second noise reduction segment 3 is a square with a length of 160mm.

[0039] Preferably, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first noise reduction segment 1 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the second noise reduction segment 3 is 1:4; and the ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second noise reduction segment 3 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the third noise reduction segment 6 is 1:4.

[0040] Preferably, the diverter plate 8 is a raised flat plate structure with an angle of 90° between the two plates and a thickness of 2mm.

[0044] The interior is a cavity 14. Hollow perforated baffles 4 are located at the top and bottom of the flow channel, with their perforated surfaces close to the inner wall of the second noise reduction section 3 to optimize the sound absorption effect of the boundary layer.

[0045] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hollow perforated baffle 4 is preferably made in a wave shape, and a large number of sound-absorbing holes 13 are uniformly opened on its surface. Multiple hollow perforated baffles 4 are arranged at intervals along the direction of airflow in the second noise reduction section 3, forming a tortuous flow channel and sound wave reflection path. When the airflow carrying noise passes through this area, the sound waves are forced to reflect multiple times in the tortuous path formed by the baffles 4, and continuously enter and exit the cavity 14 through the sound-absorbing holes 13, generating friction and dissipation. This process prolongs the propagation path of the sound waves, converting mid-to-high frequency sound energy into heat energy.

[0046] Preferably, the hollow perforated baffles 4 located at the top and bottom of the flow channel of the second noise reduction section 3 have their perforated surfaces close to the inner wall of the second noise reduction section 3 to optimize the sound absorption effect of the boundary layer. The flow divider 8 is embedded in the array of hollow perforated baffles 4.

[0047] Preferably, the hollow perforated partition is a thin-walled structure with an internal cavity thickness of 1 mm and a wall thickness of 0.5 mm.

[0048] Optionally, apart from the orientation of the perforated surface of the hollow perforated baffle 4 located at the top and bottom of the flow channel of the second noise reduction section 3, the other orientation combinations of the hollow perforated baffle 4 include a variety of combinations.

[0049] Optionally, the number of the hollow perforated partitions 4 may vary.

[0050] Optionally, the shape, size, spacing, and number of sound-absorbing holes on the surface of the hollow perforated partition 4 can be varied.

[0051] Preferably, the noise reduction frequency band of the hollow perforated partition 4 is the mid-to-high frequency band above 1200Hz.

[0052] Preferably, the second noise reduction section 3 and the third noise reduction section 6 are connected by a second expansion chamber 5. The third noise reduction section 6 has the largest cross-sectional area and a biomimetic guide fan blade 7 at the air outlet.

[0053] Preferably, the cross-section of the third noise reduction segment 6 is a square with a size of 320mm.

[0054] Furthermore, the structure of the biomimetic guide fan blade 7 mimics the protrusions at the tip of an owl's feathers. As air exits from the outlet, these biomimetic protrusions can suppress the generation and shedding of vortices (which generate noise), reducing noise generation at its source.

[0055] Preferably, the spacing between the biomimetic guide fan blades 7 is 15mm.

[0056] Preferably, the biomimetic guide fan blades 7 are evenly distributed at the air outlet.

[0057] Preferably, the biomimetic guide fan blade 7 is placed at an angle at the air outlet.

[0058] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, the biomimetic guide fan blade 7 is provided with a semi-elliptical biomimetic guide protrusion 15.

[0059] Preferably, the biomimetic flow guiding protrusion 15 has a height of 1mm to 2mm, a width of 1mm to 1.5mm, and a spacing of 10mm to 15mm between adjacent biomimetic flow guiding protrusions 15.
