[0027] refer to Figure 1-6 , this embodiment provides an air compressor air intake system, which is composed of a guide support 1, a first noise reduction chamber 3 and a second noise reduction chamber 4 connected in sequence. The two adjacent sides of the first noise reduction chamber 3 are connected to the guide support 1 and the second noise reduction chamber 4 respectively. The airflow enters the first noise reduction chamber 4 from the bottom of the first noise reduction chamber 3, and after changing the conveying direction in the chamber, it enters the second noise reduction chamber 4 embedded with a sound filter component for silencing and noise reduction. Since the first noise reduction chamber 3 is surrounded by sound-absorbing materials, the airflow from the guide support 1 directly hits the inner wall of the first noise reduction chamber 3 during the process of propagation in a straight line, but no additional sound is generated. In addition, the continuous airflow gathers in the first noise reduction chamber 3, and the propagation angle of the airflow changes and forms a vortex after colliding with the inner wall of the chamber side, which further enhances the transmission efficiency of the airflow.
[0028] After being combed by the guide support 1 to form floccules, the airflow enters the first noise reduction chamber 3 from bottom to top, and enters the second noise reduction chamber 4 embedded with a sound filter component along the side wall outlet of the first noise reduction chamber 3 and is then sent to the air filter. From the structural composition, the guide support 1 includes a first guide plate 11 erected on both sides of its own height direction, a second guide plate 12 connected between the first guide plates 11 at an offset interval, and a support plate 13 covering the top of the first guide plate 11. The second guide plates 12 are arranged one above and one below, one in front and one behind, and are vertically enclosed with the first guide plate 11 to guide the external airflow to enter the first noise reduction chamber 3 from bottom to top in an orderly manner. The support plate 13 is provided with a mesh 131 in the direction of abutting the first noise reduction chamber 3. The airflow flows through the mesh 131 to form floccules, thereby preliminarily rectifying the airflow, so that the direction and flow rate of the introduced external airflow are effectively regulated at the position of the guide support 1, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency management of the airflow. However, considering that the airflow inside the first noise reduction chamber 3 scours and rubs the sound-absorbing material on the inner wall of the first noise reduction chamber 3 for a long time and at a high frequency, the friction produces an electrostatic adsorption effect, so that some micro-particles such as dust and hair carried in the airflow accumulate more and more on the sound-absorbing material. In addition, the structure of the sound-absorbing material can well preserve the particulate matter in the extracted gas, which will inevitably affect the silencing effect over time. In view of this, the utility model connects the end panel 31 of the first noise reduction chamber 3 with a detachable structure, and the detachable structure is a bolt or slot connection. The end panel 31 is disassembled to clean or replace the sound-absorbing material in the first noise reduction chamber 3, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the air source and improve the quality of the compressed air.
[0029] The turbulent air source enters the second noise reduction chamber 4 through the connection port 32 on the side of the first noise reduction chamber 3. The first sound filter 41 and the second sound filter 42 are arranged axially in the second noise reduction chamber 4. The first sound filter 41 is provided with a plurality of axial holes 411. The inner wall of the axial hole 411 is provided with a reflection groove. The radial section of the first sound filter 41 is shown as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the reflection groove arranged on the inner wall of the shaft hole 411 is V-shaped, and the wall reflection inclination angle a1 of the V-shaped groove is not greater than 60°. When the sound wave airflow passes through this channel, it is reflected by the continuous V-shaped grooves to form turbulence, which is used to further weaken the energy propagation of the sound wave noise.
[0030] After the sonic airflow flows through the first sound filter part 41, part of the noise is reflected and eliminated by the V-shaped groove of the reflection groove, and then the sonic airflow continues to flow into the cavity formed by the interval between the first sound filter part 41 and the second sound filter part 42. A large amount of sonic airflow gathers at this position and the pressure in the cavity increases accordingly. Obviously, when the high-pressure gas surges at high speed in the cavity, it will continue to generate noise due to friction with the surrounding cavity walls. In order to solve the problem that the first sound filter part 41 fails to completely eliminate the noise and may cause the noise source to overflow. The utility model makes the second sound filter part 42 at the end position as a whole of sound-absorbing material. When the sonic airflow collides and squeezes the second sound filter part 42, most of the noise sound waves will be absorbed by the sound-absorbing material, and a small part of the noise sound waves will be squeezed into the air flow ramp 421 that runs through the second sound filter part 42 along with the surging airflow, and continue to consume energy after multiple turns and collisions in the ramp 421 until it reaches the air filter inlet.
[0031] The internal airflow ramp layout of the second sound filter 42 is as follows Figure 6 As shown, its linear composition includes a first channel 4211, a second channel 4212 and a third channel 4213 which are parallel to each other along the airflow transmission direction, and the two ends of the second channel 4212 are respectively connected to the first channel 4211 and the third channel 4213 through a folded angle bend. From the perspective of spatial position, the first channel 4211 and the third channel 4213 are equal in length and arranged in a staggered manner front to back. The second channel 4212 located in the middle is longer than the first channel 4211, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first channel 4211 and the third channel 4213 through a folded angle bend, and the inner angle a2 of the folded angle bend is not greater than 120°. Through the analysis of experimental simulation data, it is concluded that when the inner angle a2 of the above-mentioned angle bend is close to 120°, the sound wave airflow can change the transmission direction multiple times in the airflow ramp of the second sound filter part and dissipate energy through impact to achieve the purpose of eliminating noise sound waves to the greatest extent. At the same time, the obtuse angle connection transition can also make the sound wave airflow pass through the airflow channel more smoothly. The second sound filter part 4 is a sound-absorbing material, and the pipe wall of the airflow ramp 421 arranged therein also has the performance of absorbing sound waves, which can absorb noise waves to the greatest extent and achieve excellent noise reduction effect.
[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field who uses this concept to make non-substantial changes to the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model shall be deemed to infringe the protection scope of the utility model.
