[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0028] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present utility model.

[0029] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below for illustration.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fan coil unit with a silencer function comprises a fan 1, a heat exchanger (not marked in the figure) integrated in a chassis 2, and a drain pan 6 located below the heat exchanger; a water outlet assembly 3 and a water supply assembly 4 are arranged on the outer wall of the chassis 2; one end of the water supply assembly 4 is connected to an external water delivery pipe, and the other end is connected to a water inlet end of the heat exchanger; one end of the water outlet assembly 3 is connected to a water outlet end of the heat exchanger, and the other end is connected to an external water delivery pipe.

[0031] The air outlet of the fan 1 is connected to the heat exchanger; the fan 1 blows air to the heat exchanger through the air outlet, and after the heat exchanger performs heat exchange on the air, the air is blown to the outside from the exhaust port on the chassis 2; the drain pan 6 is used to receive the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger during the heat exchange process.

[0032] During the operation of the fan coil unit, the noise source mainly comes from the noise generated by the fan 1 during operation. For this reason, a shock-absorbing bracket 9 is arranged below the fan 1, and a plurality of shock-absorbing springs are installed on the shock-absorbing bracket 9. The shock-absorbing bracket 9 reduces vibration and noise from the vibration source. In some preferred embodiments, the shock-absorbing spring adopts an air spring. The shock-absorbing action area of ​​the air spring is the rubber airbag part in the middle, which has extremely low vibration conductivity, and the frequency transmitted from the upper end cover to the lower end cover can be greatly reduced.

[0033] The outer shell of the fan 1 is provided with a soundproof cover 8, which plays a role of sound insulation and reduces the conduction of noise. Specifically, the soundproof cover 8 adopts an aluminum honeycomb panel, which has good toughness and strong impact resistance, can absorb most of the energy through its own deformation, and has a good vibration reduction effect. The aluminum honeycomb panel in the utility model is made of an upper and lower elastic panel with a honeycomb aluminum core in the middle, which has a strong shock absorption performance. It also adopts a hexagonal structure to connect with each other to disperse the pressure from all sides, and isolate the noise in each layer and each section; the flatness of the panel is closely fitted with the honeycomb, and the honeycomb core and the surface aluminum plate are in a state of being jointly stressed, so that it will not move and displace during use, ensuring that the noise can be isolated while reducing the impact force and pressure. The heat concentration caused by the soundproof cover 8 can be effectively avoided, because the fan 1 is bound to generate a lot of heat when it is running. The elastic panel of the aluminum honeycomb panel can be made of aluminum skin board, and the panel and honeycomb core of the aluminum honeycomb panel are made of aluminum material with high thermal conductivity value, thereby achieving an efficient heat dissipation effect. The aluminum skin board adopts fluorocarbon coated aluminum plate, which means that a PVDF fluorocarbon coating is formed on the surface of the aluminum plate, usually formed by a spraying process, and also formed by a roller coating process, which further improves the practical performance of the aluminum honeycomb panel.

[0034] Part of the noise of the fan coil unit comes from the exhaust port of the heat exchanger. In order to achieve the effect of noise reduction and silencing, the exhaust port on the chassis 2 is provided with a noise reduction component 5. The noise reduction component 5 adopts a micro-perforated plate. The micro-perforated plate includes a perforated panel and an air back cavity to form a resonant structure. The principle of the micro-perforated plate is to drill a certain number of holes on the plate, and leave a certain air layer behind the plate, so that the incident sound waves are resonantly absorbed, thereby achieving the effect of sound absorption. At the same time, since a large number of micropores are drilled on the micro-perforated plate, the air outlet of the exhaust port will not be blocked. In some effective embodiments, the outer wall of the micro-perforated plate is provided with a sound insulation coating, and the sound insulation coating of the sound insulation coating is a nano multi-layer structure material, which sandwiches the coating molecular material in the middle. The entire intermediate membrane is evenly distributed with microparticles with sound insulation effect, which reduces the transmitted sound wave energy, thereby playing the role of sound absorption and sound insulation.

[0035] In the heat exchanger, the inlet and outlet water pipes are mostly made of copper tubes 7 with good heat dissipation. In the present invention, the copper tube 7 is a U-shaped spiral tube, one end of which is connected to the water outlet assembly 3, and the other end is connected to the water supply assembly 4. The above arrangement can further reduce noise. Under the guidance of the spiral tube, the water flows along the tube body in a spiral oblique straight line, and will not have a strong impact on its inner wall, so the noise is relatively small.

[0036] Since the fan 1 is the main source of noise, the fan 1 of the utility model adopts a centrifugal fan with an eccentric air inlet, that is, the air inlet of the fan 1 is not on the same horizontal line as the central axis of the impeller. The eccentric design of the air inlet of the air duct has a certain influence on improving the airflow distribution in the air duct, and can effectively reduce the noise generated by the airflow.

[0037] The above only expresses the preferred implementation of the utility model, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, several modifications, improvements and substitutions can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
