DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the noise reduction device of the present application is used to wrap the electrical component 1 to reduce the noise generated by the electrical component 1, thereby improving the user experience. The electrical component 1 includes a component body 11 and a connector 12. The connector 12 is arranged on the component body 11, and transmits electrical signals and electrical energy to the component body 11. The electrical component 1 is preferably but not limited to a relay. In the present application, the electrical component 1 is taken as a relay as an example for explanation. When the relay is working, vibration and noise will be generated due to the instantaneous attraction and separation of the internal electromagnet; in addition, the contacts of the relay will also generate arcs and noise when closing and disconnecting, and then these noises will affect some occasions that need to maintain a quiet environment (such as hospitals, laboratories, vehicle cabins, etc.). The noise reduction device of the present application wraps the above-mentioned relay, which can effectively isolate its noise.

[0030] In one embodiment, the noise reduction device includes a cover 2 and a shell 3. The cover 2 is connected to the shell 3 and together wraps the electrical component 1. Specifically, the shell 3 is used to accommodate the component body 11, and the cover 2 is used to wrap the connector 12 and cover the component body 11. The cover 2 includes an inner side surface 21 and a receiving cavity 22, and the receiving cavity 22 is recessed from the inner side surface 21 along the height direction of the noise reduction device. When the cover 2 is arranged on the shell 3, at least part of the connector 12 is arranged in the receiving cavity 22. Furthermore, in the height direction of the noise reduction device, at least half of the height of the connector 12 is arranged in the receiving cavity 22. In order to improve the noise reduction effect of the noise reduction device, the connector 12 is preferably completely arranged in the receiving cavity 22.

[0031] With such a configuration, after the cover 2 is connected to the shell 3, it can effectively prevent the transmission of noise in the component body 11, and at the same time, by wrapping the connector 12 through the accommodating cavity 22, it can also effectively prevent the noise from propagating from the connector 12, thereby greatly eliminating the overall noise of the electrical component, improving the silencing effect of the noise reduction device on the electrical component 1, and improving the noise reduction effect of the noise reduction device.

[0032] In order to improve the noise isolation effect of the noise reduction device on the connector 12 , the number of the accommodating cavities 22 corresponds to the number of the connectors 12 , and each accommodating cavity 22 accommodates a connector 12 .

[0033] The cover 2 and the housing 3 are preferably detachably connected, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the cover 2 and the housing 3, and also facilitating subsequent replacement and maintenance. In another embodiment, the noise reduction device includes a hinge member (not shown), one end of the hinge member is connected to the cover 2, and the other end is connected to the housing 3, and the cover 2 is rotatably arranged relative to the housing 3. Such an arrangement allows the cover 2 to be always connected to the housing 3, preventing the cover 2 and the housing 3 from being lost when the noise reduction device is installed, and allows the cover 2 to be quickly covered on the housing 3, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the cover 2 and the housing 3 after installation, at least part of the cover 2 is embedded in the housing 3. Specifically, the cover 2 includes a cover plate 23 and an embedding block 24. The embedding block 24 is protruded from the cover plate 23, and in the height direction of the noise reduction device, the projection of the cover plate 23 covers the projection of the embedding block 24. The inner side surface 21 is provided on the embedding block 24, and the inner side surface 21 and the cover plate 23 are arranged back to back.

[0035] The accommodating cavity 22 is at least provided in the fitting block 24. Specifically, the accommodating cavity 22 is recessed from the fitting block 24 toward the cover plate 23. And according to the height of the connector 12, the accommodating cavity 22 may also be recessed from the fitting block 24 into the cover plate 23, that is, the accommodating cavity 22 may penetrate the fitting block 24 and part of the cover plate 23.

[0036] The cover 2 is provided with a wire groove 25. The wire groove 25 extends from the side of the cover plate 23 to the inside of the fitting block 24. Specifically, the wire groove 25 can extend from the long side 231 of the cover plate 23 to the inside of the fitting block 24 along the width direction of the noise reduction device. Alternatively, the wire groove 25 can extend from the short side 232 of the cover plate 23 to the inside of the fitting block 24 along the length direction of the noise reduction device. In the height direction of the noise reduction device, the wire groove 25 passes through the cover plate 23 and the fitting block 24, and is connected to the accommodating cavity 22. The wiring harness of the connector 12 can extend to the outside of the noise reduction device through the wire groove 25.

[0037] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the cover 2 is a single-layer plate structure.

Indeed, in the height direction of the noise reduction device, the projection area of ​​the cover 2 is not less than the projection area of ​​the shell 3, the inner side surface 21 of the cover 2 is in contact with the end surface of the opening of the shell 3, and the cover 2 and the shell 3 can be fixed by bonding.

[0038] like Figures 7 and 8 As shown, in another embodiment, in the height direction of the noise reduction device, the projection of the cover 2 covers the projection of the shell 3, and at least part of the shell 3 is embedded in the cover 2. Specifically, the cover 2 includes a cover body 26 and a surrounding edge 27. The inner side 21 is provided on the cover body 26, and the accommodating cavity 22 is recessed into the cover body 26. The surrounding edge 27 is extended from the inner side 21, and the extending direction of the surrounding edge 27 is opposite to the recessed direction of the accommodating cavity 22. The accommodating cavity 22 is connected to the cavity formed by the surrounding edge 27. When the cover 2 is provided on the shell 3, the end face at the opening of the shell 3 contacts the inner side 21, and the surrounding edge 27 wraps the shell 3 and can be attached to the outer wall of the shell 3.

[0039] Further integration Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 3 includes a limiting end face 31, a limiting cavity 32, and a component cavity 33. The limiting cavity 32 is recessed from the limiting end face 31, and the component cavity 33 is recessed from the bottom wall 321 of the limiting cavity 32. In the height direction of the noise reduction device, the component cavity 33 is located below the limiting cavity 32 and is connected to the limiting cavity 32. The cross section of the component cavity 33 is smaller than the cross section area of ​​the limiting cavity 32. The component body 11 is located in the component cavity 33, and the connector 12 can be located in the limiting cavity 32.

In this way, the cover 2 can be installed to the housing 3 more quickly through the double limiting structure of the inner side surface 21 contacting the bottom wall 321 and the limiting end surface 31 contacting the cover plate 23.

[0041] When the cover 2 is in a single-layer plate structure, at least a portion of the cover 2 is located in the limiting cavity 32 , and the inner side surface 21 of the cover 2 contacts the bottom wall 321 of the limiting cavity 32 .

[0042] In another embodiment, the cover 2 is slidably connected to the housing 3. Specifically, a slide rail (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the cover 2, a slide groove (not shown) is provided at the top of the housing 3, and the slide rail cooperates with the slide groove so that the cover 2 can slide relative to the housing 3. Alternatively, a slide groove is provided at the bottom of the cover 2, and a slide rail is provided at the top of the housing 3.

[0043] In one embodiment, the housing 3 is provided with a lower through hole 34 and an avoidance hole 35.
