[0002] Hydraulic pump stations are the "heart" of underground tunnel construction equipment, especially tunnel boring machines (TBMs), continuously providing power to various hydraulic systems. However, the structural characteristics of hydraulic pump units result in significant vibration and noise.

[0053] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be implemented without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of this application.
[0054] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.
[0055] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.
[0056] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C," the expression should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C, etc.). When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, or C," the expression should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C, etc.).
[0057] Figure 1 This is a noise sound pressure level spectrum diagram of a hydraulic pump station in the existing technology.
[0058] Existing underground tunnel construction equipment uses hydraulic pump stations with large installed capacity, consisting of multiple motor-pump units, resulting in concentrated noise sources. Spectral analysis of the hydraulic pump station noise revealed that the peak frequency of the sound pressure level is closely related to the motor speed and the number of hydraulic pump plungers. Under normal conditions, with a rated motor speed of 1500 rpm and 9 hydraulic pump plungers, the noise sound pressure level spectrum is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the peak frequency is approximately 225±2Hz and its harmonics. Among these, low-to-mid-frequency noise below 1000Hz has strong penetrating power, good diffraction, and long propagation distance, requiring focused sound insulation and noise reduction measures. Mid-to-high-frequency noise above 1000Hz has weak penetrating power and rapid propagation attenuation; ordinary sound insulation and sound absorption measures can achieve good results. Therefore, controlling the sound pressure level at 225±2Hz and its 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonics can reduce the overall sound pressure level of the hydraulic pump station.
[0059] Existing hydraulic pump stations use a combination of fans and ventilation louvers for ventilation and heat dissipation, both of which are fixed to a soundproof enclosure. This presents an inherent contradiction between ventilation and sound insulation: if the opening area of the ventilation louvers is large, it will significantly weaken the sound insulation effect of the enclosure; if the opening area of the ventilation louvers is small, the heat emitted by the motor inside the enclosure cannot be dissipated in time, affecting equipment operation. To resolve this contradiction, multi-layered louvers or labyrinthine louver structures are sometimes used for ventilation and noise reduction. While these structures are effective in controlling mid-to-high frequency noise, the internal air duct design leads to a sharp increase in air resistance and a decrease in ventilation efficiency, which in turn affects the normal operation of the motor pump unit.
[0060] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a hydraulic pump station according to an illustrative embodiment of this application.
[0061] An underground construction device is provided according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2As shown, the underground construction equipment includes a tunnel boring machine (TBM) and a hydraulic pump station. The hydraulic pump station includes a hydraulic pump unit 1, a first housing 2, and two silencing mechanisms 3. The hydraulic pump unit 1 is used to provide hydraulic power to the TBM. The first housing 2 is used to house the hydraulic pump unit 1, and has an air inlet and an air outlet. The two silencing mechanisms 3 are respectively located at the air inlet and the air outlet, and both silencing mechanisms 3 extend partially into the first housing 2. Each silencing mechanism 3 has a first air outlet 31 and a second air outlet 32, forming an air duct 33 between the first air outlet 31 and the second air outlet 32. Each silencing mechanism 3 includes two sets of resonant units and a sound-absorbing unit. The two sets of resonant units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air duct 33, and are configured to consume the sound energy of a first frequency band in the sound waves by resonating with the sound waves generated by the hydraulic pump unit 1. The sound-absorbing units are configured to absorb the sound energy of a second frequency band in the sound waves, the second frequency band having a frequency greater than the first frequency band.
[0062] In some illustrative embodiments, the hydraulic pump station is suitable for providing hydraulic power to the tunnel boring machine (TBM), for example, to provide hydraulic power to the TBM's propulsion system, cutterhead drive system, segment assembly machine, etc.
[0063] In some illustrative embodiments, the hydraulic pump assembly 1 may be, for example, an electric motor pump assembly, which may include a motor and a hydraulic pump. The motor may be a constant-speed motor or a variable-speed motor, and the hydraulic pump may be a piston pump or a gear pump. Preferably, it is an electric motor pump assembly consisting of a 1500 rpm motor and a 9-piston hydraulic pump.
[0064] In some illustrative embodiments, the first housing 2 can be a multi-layered composite sound insulation structure. From the inside out, the first housing 2 consists of a perforated plate, sound-absorbing cotton, a resonant sound-absorbing film, sound-absorbing cotton, a magnesium oxide damping plate, a damping sound insulation felt, and a metal shell. Through this multi-layered composite sound insulation structure, the mechanisms of mass sound insulation, damping sound insulation, and resonant film sound insulation can be comprehensively utilized to effectively block the direct sound across the low, medium, and high frequency bands generated by the hydraulic pump unit 1.
[0065] In some illustrative embodiments, hydraulic pipes, power lines, control lines, and other pipelines in the hydraulic pump station can extend through the air duct 33 of the silencing mechanism 3 to the outside of the first housing 2 to connect to the external actuators and electrical control cabinet.
[0066] In some illustrative embodiments, the pipeline of the motor pump unit can pass through a perforation in the wall of the first housing 2. To ensure vibration isolation and sealing, the gaps in the perforation can be filled with rubber material.
[0067] In this implementation, the sound waves generated by the hydraulic pump unit 1 during operation diffuse outward in a spherical shape. A portion of the sound waves enters the air duct 33 and is transmitted to the outside through the first air outlet 31. After entering the air duct 33 through the second air outlet 32, the sound waves flow sequentially through the areas where the resonant units and the sound-absorbing units are located. The two sets of resonant units are configured to consume the sound energy of the first frequency band of the sound waves when resonating with them. After the ventilation airflow passes through the air duct 33 and the two sets of resonant units, the sound-absorbing units absorb the sound energy of the second frequency band of the sound waves, the frequency of which is higher than that of the first frequency band. Through the resonant consumption of the two sets of resonant units and the synergistic effect of the sound-absorbing units, the silencing mechanism 3 silences the low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency noise leaking through the air duct 33.
[0068] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of a noise reduction mechanism according to an illustrative embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a perspective sectional view of a noise reduction mechanism according to an illustrative embodiment of this application.
[0069] According to embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each silencing mechanism 3 also includes a frame 34 and a second housing 35. The second housing 35 covers the outside of the frame 34, with a second air vent 32 formed at the bottom and a first air vent 31 formed on the sidewall of the second housing 35. Two sets of resonant units are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the frame 34 along its width, and the sound-absorbing units are arranged in the direction of airflow (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The position is downstream of the Z direction shown and close to the first air outlet 31, so that the two sets of resonant units, sound-absorbing units and the second housing 35 together form a bent air duct 33, so that the ventilation airflow flowing in from the second air outlet 32 turns at a right angle and is output to the outside through the first air outlet 31.
[0070] In some illustrative embodiments, the frame 34 can be a cuboid frame structure, serving as the skeleton of the entire silencing mechanism 3. The frame 34, in such a way... Figure 4 The length in the X direction shown is greater than 500 mm.
[0071] In some illustrative embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, two sets of resonant units are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the frame 34, and sound-absorbing units are distributed on the front, rear, top and left sides of the frame 34 facing the first air vent 31.
[0072] In some illustrative embodiments, the cross-section of the air duct 33 may be rectangular. The cavity between the resonant units on both sides constitutes part of the air duct 33. The air duct 33 is rectangular in width direction (e.g., ...). Figure 4The range of the Y direction shown can be 180mm to 300mm, so as to increase the contact area between the ventilation airflow and the first substrate of the resonant unit on both sides (the first substrate will be described in detail below) while maintaining good ventilation capacity, thereby improving the resonance noise reduction effect.
[0073] Referring to the above structure, two sets of resonant units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air duct 33. The two sets of resonant units are configured to consume the acoustic energy of the first frequency band of the sound waves when resonating with them. The first frequency band can be, for example, a low-frequency band, specifically, the 225±2Hz frequency band and its harmonics (e.g., 450±2Hz, 675±2Hz, 900±2Hz). The sound-absorbing units are configured to absorb the acoustic energy of the second frequency band of the sound waves after the ventilation airflow passes through the air duct 33 and the two sets of resonant units. The frequency of the second frequency band is higher than the frequency of the first frequency band; for example, the second frequency band can be a mid-to-high frequency band greater than 1000Hz.
[0074] In this embodiment, two sets of resonant units are symmetrically fixed on opposite sides of the frame 34 along its width, and the sound-absorbing unit is positioned downstream of the airflow direction and close to the first air inlet 31. Thus, the two sets of resonant units, the sound-absorbing unit, and the second housing 35 together form a bent air duct 33. Specifically, the air duct 33 can be enclosed into a figure-7 shaped bend that allows only entry and exit through the second air inlet 32 and the first air inlet 31, so that the airflow entering from the second air inlet 32, after a right-angle turn, is output to the outside through the first air inlet 31. During the right-angle turn of the airflow within the air duct 33, the sound waves undergo multiple reflections and interferences, weakening the sound wave energy to a certain extent and thus reducing noise propagation.
[0075] According to embodiments of this application, each group of resonant units includes four resonant modules. The four resonant modules are aligned along the height direction (i.e., the flow direction of the ventilation airflow, such as...). Figure 4 The four resonant modules (shown in the Z direction) are arranged on the frame 34. Each resonant module has a first open end, and the first open end is set facing the air duct 33. The four resonant modules have different sound absorption peak values, so as to consume the sound energy of different frequency bands in the first frequency band when resonating with the sound wave.
[0076] In this implementation, each of the four resonant modules has a different natural frequency. When sound waves flow through the area where the resonant modules are located via the air duct 33, components in the sound waves with frequencies close to the natural frequency of a particular resonant module drive the air column of that module to vibrate strongly. During the vibration of the air column, nearby sound energy is consumed through friction and radiation losses, thereby attenuating the sound energy in that frequency band from the sound waves. The four resonant modules respectively consume sound energy for four different frequency sub-bands in the first frequency band, so that the silencing mechanism 3 has silencing capability over a wide low-frequency range.
[0077] Figure 5 This is a side view of a noise reduction mechanism according to an illustrative embodiment of this application. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Cross-sectional view in the AA direction.
[0078] According to embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each resonant module includes a first substrate and a first support housing. The first substrate is disposed at the first open end, and a plurality of first through holes arranged in an array and penetrating the first substrate are formed on the first substrate. The first support housing has a concave cross-section, and the first support housing is installed on the side of the first substrate near the second housing 35, and together with the first substrate, forms a first resonant cavity, which is connected to the air duct 33 through the plurality of first through holes.
[0079] In some illustrative embodiments, the depth of the first resonant cavity, the diameter of the perforation on the first substrate, the thickness of the substrate, and the perforation rate are designed according to a preset peak absorption frequency (i.e., the target noise reduction frequency). For example, they can be calculated and determined according to the following formula (1). When the sound wave frequency in the air duct 33 is close to the natural frequency of the resonant module, the air column at the neck of the first substrate will vibrate strongly, thereby consuming the nearby sound energy and achieving noise reduction for a specific frequency.

[0082] According to an embodiment of this application, a sound-insulating material is filled between the first support housing and the second housing 35 to absorb noise generated by the vibration of the first support housing.
[0083] In this implementation, the sound insulation material absorbs the noise generated by the vibration of the first support shell while preventing the noise from propagating through the resonant unit to the outside of the silencing mechanism 3.
[0084] According to an embodiment of this application, the four resonant modules are, in sequence, a first resonant module 36, a second resonant module 37, a third resonant module 38, and a fourth resonant module 39 along the flow direction of the ventilation airflow.

[0094] In other alternative embodiments, the number of resonant modules can be set to 4 pairs, depending on the frequency range of the noise in the applicable context. Figure 4 The number of resonance modules in the system is 4 pairs, 5 pairs, or 6 pairs or more, but the specific number is not limited here.
[0095] When selecting a motor-pump combination of a 1500rpm motor and a 9-piston hydraulic pump, the peak frequency of the noise sound pressure level generated during operation is approximately 225±2Hz and its harmonics (generally the first 4 harmonics). Four pairs of resonant cavities are set up, with at least two resonant cavities in each pair arranged opposite each other on both sides of the air duct 33 and arranged in the height direction of the air duct. The order of arrangement is not limited. The larger the area of the first substrate of the resonant module (e.g., the third substrate 360 of the first resonant module 36, the fourth substrate 370 of the second resonant module 37, the fifth substrate 380 of the third resonant module 38, and the sixth substrate 390 of the fourth resonant module 39), the better the sound absorption effect.
[0096] According to an embodiment of this application, the sound-absorbing unit includes a perforated mesh 40. The perforated mesh 40 is mounted on the frame 34 and forms a sound-absorbing cavity 41 between itself and the second housing 35. The sound-absorbing cavity 41 is filled with sound-absorbing material to absorb sound energy in a second frequency band, the frequency of which is greater than 1000Hz.
[0097] In some illustrative embodiments, the sound-absorbing material may be, for example, sound-absorbing cotton.
[0098] In this implementation, the perforated mesh 40 can have an opening ratio greater than 80%, serving two purposes: firstly, to support and fix the sound-absorbing cotton; and secondly, to form the inner wall of the air duct 33 together with the first substrate of the resonant unit. The sound-absorbing unit is used to absorb sound energy in the second frequency band, such as absorbing noise in the ventilation airflow within the frequency range greater than 1000Hz.
[0099] Figure 8 yes Figure 5 Cross-sectional view in the CC direction.
[0100] According to embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, each silencing mechanism 3 also includes multiple blades 7. These blades 7 are spaced apart and arranged parallel to each other between the frame 34 and the first air outlet 31, forming a flow channel between adjacent blades 7 that allows ventilation airflow. Each blade 7 includes a connecting section 71 and an extension section 72. The connecting section 71 is connected to the frame 34, and its extension direction is parallel to the direction in which the ventilation airflow exits the first air outlet 31. The extension section 72 is connected to the connecting section 71, and an angle of 120° to 150° is formed between the extension section 72 and the connecting section 71 to reflect and interfere with sound waves.
[0101] In this embodiment, each blade 7 has a "V" shaped cross-section, and the connection between the connecting section 71 and the extension section 72 (i.e., the "V" shaped corner position) is an arc connection. The end of the connecting section 71 near the air duct 33 is parallel to the direction in which the ventilation airflow exits the first air outlet 31 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (Y direction shown). As the ventilation airflow passes through multiple blades 7, the sound waves are reflected and interfered with multiple times, increasing the acoustic impedance and thus reducing noise propagation to a certain extent.
[0102] According to embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first housing 2 has a receiving cavity, and the hydraulic pump station also includes a temperature sensor 4, a fan 5, and a controller. The temperature sensor 4 is located inside the receiving cavity and is used to detect the actual temperature inside the receiving cavity. The fan 5 is installed at the second air outlet 32 of either of the two silencing mechanisms 3. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 4 and the fan 5, and is used to adjust the speed of the fan 5 based on the actual temperature and a preset temperature.
[0103] Specifically, temperature sensor 4 collects the actual temperature of hydraulic pump unit 1 in real time and converts it into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the controller. The controller compares the actual temperature fed back by temperature sensor 4 with the preset temperature and calculates the temperature difference. If the actual temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the controller increases the speed of fan 5 to enhance heat dissipation. If the actual temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the controller decreases the speed of fan 5 to reduce heat dissipation and noise generated by fan 5 itself. When the actual temperature and the preset temperature tend to be consistent, the current speed of fan 5 is maintained to stabilize the temperature.
[0104] In this implementation, automatic closed-loop regulation of the temperature inside the first housing 2 can be achieved, which reduces the energy consumption and noise of the fan 5 while ensuring heat dissipation.
[0105] According to embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, the hydraulic pump station also includes a second support housing and a second base plate 6. The second support housing has a concave cross-section and is installed on the inner wall of the first housing 2. The second support housing has a second open end facing the hydraulic pump assembly 1. The second base plate 6 is disposed at the second open end and forms a second resonant cavity with the second support housing. The second base plate 6 has a plurality of second through holes arranged in an array and penetrating the second base plate 6. The second resonant cavity communicates with the receiving cavity through the plurality of second through holes to reduce the radiated noise of the hydraulic pump assembly 1.
[0106] In some illustrative embodiments, the second substrate 6 can serve as a low-frequency sound-absorbing plate within the first housing 2. The depth, perforation diameter, thickness, and perforation rate of the second resonant cavity of the low-frequency sound-absorbing plate can be determined according to the aforementioned formula (1) and configured to match the peak frequency of the low-frequency noise generated by the hydraulic pump assembly 1. On the one hand, the low-frequency sound-absorbing plate can absorb the direct low-frequency noise from the motor pump assembly; on the other hand, it can block the direct noise that originally reached the inner wall of the first housing 2, so that this part of the noise is absorbed, reflected, and attenuated multiple times before propagating to the inner wall of the first housing 2, thereby reducing the total sound pressure level inside the first housing 2 and ultimately reducing the radiated noise outside the first housing 2.
[0107] Figure 9 This is a transmission loss curve of a noise reduction mechanism according to an illustrative embodiment of this application.
[0108] In some illustrative embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the silencing mechanism 3 located at the exhaust vent is used as an example for explanation. For a motor-pump combination of a 1500rpm motor and a 9-piston hydraulic pump, the peak frequency of the noise sound pressure level generated during operation is approximately 225±2Hz and its 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harmonics. During operation, the generated noise sound waves diffuse outward in a spherical form. A portion of the sound waves enters the air duct 33 and is transmitted to the outside. The sound waves enter the air duct 33 of the silencing mechanism 3 from inside the first housing 2 through the second air vent 32. Inside the air duct 33, the sound waves first pass through the resonance zone composed of two sets of resonant units. Since the resonant units are designed with corresponding resonant modules for frequency ranges such as 225±2Hz, 450±2Hz, 675±2Hz, and 900±2Hz, when the sound wave frequency is close to the natural frequency of these resonant modules, a strong air column vibration will be generated at the neck of the first substrate of the resonant module, consuming the sound energy of the corresponding frequency range and achieving targeted sound absorption through resonance. Figure 9As shown, the transmission loss peaks at 225Hz, 450Hz, 675Hz, and 900Hz, indicating that the silencing mechanism 3 is highly effective at reducing these low-frequency peak noises. In the mid-to-high frequency range above 1000Hz, the transmission loss is relatively stable and gradually increases, corresponding to the absorption effect of the sound-absorbing unit on mid-to-high frequency noise. The distance design between the two resonant units (e.g., 180mm~300mm) ensures sufficient sound energy dissipation while maintaining good ventilation performance.
[0109] Subsequently, the ventilation airflow carrying sound waves enters the sound-absorbing zone composed of sound-absorbing units. The sound-absorbing material in the zone has a good absorption effect on mid-to-high frequency noise above 1000Hz. Simultaneously, the ventilation airflow undergoes a right-angle turn within the "7"-shaped duct, and as it flows through multiple blades, the sound waves experience multiple reflections and interferences, further dissipating sound wave energy. Finally, the airflow and sound waves, after multiple noise reduction treatments, are output to the external environment through the first vent 31. By combining this resonant targeted sound absorption with mid-to-high frequency sound absorption, and in conjunction with optimized airflow path, efficient reduction of hydraulic pump station noise, especially low-frequency peak frequency noise, is achieved, resolving the conflict between ventilation and sound insulation.
[0110] According to the embodiment of this application, the hydraulic pump station, with its first housing 2 and silencing mechanism 3 working together, provides sound insulation, noise reduction, and heat dissipation for the hydraulic pump unit 1. First, a low-frequency sound-absorbing panel installed inside the first housing 2 absorbs low-frequency noise at its peak frequency within the hydraulic pump station, and blocks and reflects direct full-frequency noise, thereby reducing the overall sound pressure level inside the first housing 2. Then, the hydraulic pump unit 1 is enclosed in a three-dimensional enclosure composed of the first housing 2 and the silencing mechanism 3 for sound insulation and noise reduction. On one hand, the first housing 2 blocks direct noise from the low, medium, and high frequency bands of the hydraulic pump station. On the other hand, the silencing mechanism 3 absorbs emitted noise from the low, medium, and high frequency bands that attempts to leak through the air duct 33. This design enhances the low-frequency sound insulation effect of the first housing 2 while retaining good heat dissipation capacity within it. Simultaneously, combined with automatic temperature control, it achieves synergistic optimization of heat dissipation and noise reduction, and features a compact structure and excellent noise reduction effect, making it particularly suitable for underground construction equipment such as tunnel boring machines where noise control requirements are stringent.
