Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile vacuum pumps, in particular to an automobile vacuum pump with a noise suppression function. Background Art

[0002] The car vacuum pump is also called the power-assisted pump. It is a power-assisted device for the brake system and steering system. As the name implies, the vacuum pump is used to generate vacuum. Generally, small cars have hydraulic power-assisted brakes, while large trucks or buses usually have pneumatic power-assisted brakes. The vacuum pump equipped in the vehicle can generate negative pressure, thereby increasing the pressure required by the vehicle. The vacuum pump on the car is also called the power-assisted pump. These power-assisted pumps are responsible for the power-assisted devices of various systems such as the vehicle's brake system and steering system. For example, the steering power-assisted function and the hydraulic brake function equipped in the vehicle both require the vehicle's vacuum pump to provide negative pressure.

[0003] With the development of vacuum applications, many types of vacuum pumps have been developed, and their pumping speeds range from a few tenths of a liter per second to hundreds of thousands or millions of liters per second. However, most vacuum pumps on the market have a common disadvantage - the noise is relatively loud, which is difficult for people in some confined spaces to endure. For example, in a car, not only is the space small, but the interference time is also long, which can easily make the driver and passengers feel irritable and even induce traffic accidents. The current method of sound absorption and noise reduction is to wrap a layer of foam paper on the surface of the vacuum pump. This method not only has limited sound absorption, but is also not conducive to the heat dissipation of the vacuum pump, thus reducing its service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an automobile vacuum pump with a noise suppression function to solve the problems in the related art of limited sound absorption, poor heat dissipation of the vacuum pump, and reduced service life of the vacuum pump.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the utility model, there is provided an automobile vacuum pump with a noise suppression function, comprising a pump body, the pump body comprising a pump barrel, the pump barrel comprising a pump chamber, a pump barrel inner wall is arranged outside the pump chamber, a porous plate is arranged outside the pump barrel inner wall, the porous plate is fixedly connected to the pump barrel inner wall, a pump barrel outer wall is arranged outside the porous plate, the pump barrel outer wall is fixedly connected to the porous plate, pump covers are arranged at both ends of the pump body, the pump cover is fixedly connected to the pump body, a water inlet is arranged above the middle of the pump cover, the water inlet is fixedly connected to the pump cover, the water inlet passes through the pump cover and is connected with the pump chamber, a water inlet cover is arranged on the water inlet, the water inlet cover is threadedly connected to the water inlet, an air inlet is arranged on the left side of the pump cover, the air inlet passes through the pump cover and is connected with the pump chamber, an exhaust port is arranged on the right side of the pump cover, the exhaust port passes through the pump cover and is connected with the pump chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, an eccentric wheel is provided in the pump body, the eccentric wheel is provided above the center of the pump body, and the eccentric wheel is fixedly connected to the pump body.

[0007] Furthermore, the eccentric wheel includes an impeller, a rotating shaft is provided at the center of the impeller, and a shaft body of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the impeller.

[0008] Furthermore, a motor is provided at one end of the rotating shaft, and the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the motor passes through the pump cover and is fixedly connected to the pump cover, a switch is provided at the top of the motor, the switch is electrically connected to the motor, and the switch is fixedly connected to the motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the pump cavity is filled with water, and the water forms a water ring when rotating in the pump cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, an air cavity is formed in the center of the water ring, and the air cavity is closed and divided into several parts of different sizes by the water ring and the impeller.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: since the eccentric wheel is arranged at the upper position of the pump body, the sizes of the air chambers are not equal. With the rotation of the impeller, the air chamber at the upper right side of the motor moves downward, the volume becomes larger, and the pressure becomes smaller. When the air chamber is connected with the air inlet, the air outside the pump chamber is sucked into the pump chamber through the air inlet; the air chamber at the lower left side of the motor moves upward, the volume becomes smaller, the air is compressed, and the pressure becomes larger. When the air chamber is connected with the exhaust port, the air in the air chamber is discharged to the outside of the pump chamber through the exhaust port. The whole process can be simplified into three steps: suction, compression, and exhaust. The impeller rotates continuously, suction, compression, and exhaust. The exhaust will circulate to achieve the purpose of vacuuming; when the impeller drives the water to rotate, noise will be emitted, and the noise causes the inner wall of the pump barrel to vibrate, further transmitting the noise outward. When the noise reaches the porous plate, it causes the fine fibers of air and materials in the porous plate to vibrate. Due to the friction resistance between the air and the hole wall, the viscous resistance of the air and the heat conduction, a considerable part of the sound energy will be converted into heat energy and dissipated, thereby playing a role in sound absorption and noise reduction, reducing the sound energy that continues to be transmitted outward, reducing or even eliminating the interference to the driver and passengers, and there is no need to wrap the vacuum pump with foam paper, which will not affect the heat dissipation of the vacuum pump and will not reduce the service life of the vacuum pump.
