[0037] See also Figure 1The utility model discloses a first embodiment of a sound insulation device 1.

[0038] See also Figure 1 A sound insulation device 1 is suitable for covering a shell 3, and the sound insulation device 1 is provided with a noise reduction through hole 122, wherein the sound insulation device 1 forms an accommodating space toward the shell 3, and the noise reduction through hole 122 connects the accommodating space and the external space.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sound insulation device 1 is provided with a noise reduction through hole 122. It should be noted that the sound insulation device 1 is made of sound-absorbing material. The noise reduction through hole 122 disrupts local resonance within the sound insulation device 1, thereby achieving noise reduction. The shape of the noise reduction through hole 122 is not limited herein. The sound insulation device 1 forms an accommodation space toward the housing 3. It should be noted that the sound insulation device 1 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped structure of the sound insulation device 1 can effectively diffuse sound and reduce sound reflection and concentration in acoustic design.

[0041] See also Figure 1 , the noise reduction through hole 122 is located at the center of the sound insulation device 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, when sound waves propagate, they are reflected by obstacles. The noise reduction hole 122 at the center of the sound insulation device 1 can more effectively capture and disperse the sound waves, reducing reflection and interference of the sound waves around the noise reduction hole 122, thereby reducing noise.

[0043] See also Figure 1 The sound insulation device 1 includes a cover body 11 and a sound insulation portion 12 ; the sound insulation portion 12 and the noise reduction through hole 122 are spaced apart on the cover body 11 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the sound insulation part 12 and the noise reduction through hole 122 are spaced apart on the cover body 11. It should be explained in detail that the noise reduction through hole 122 and the sound insulation part 12 are not on the same plane, and there is a transition area between the noise reduction through hole 122 and the sound insulation part 12.

[0045] In this embodiment, by reasonably designing the interval between the noise reduction through hole 122 and the sound insulation portion 12, the flow shear force and the maximum turbulent kinetic energy are reduced, the flow stability is improved, and the flow noise is reduced, thereby effectively absorbing and reducing noise.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sound insulation device 1 includes a plurality of sound insulation parts 12 ; the plurality of sound insulation parts 12 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the cover body 11 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the sound insulation device 1 includes a plurality of the sound insulation parts 12. It should be noted that the number of the sound insulation parts 12 can be increased or changed according to actual processing technology and needs; the sound insulation parts 12 and the cover body 11 are integrally formed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the size of the sound insulation device 1 fits tightly with the inner spoke of the vibration damping pulley, and the sound insulation portion 12 absorbs the noise radiated from the timing cover vibration damping pulley area. This structure has the advantages of good processability, reliability and low cost.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sound insulation portion 12 is a raised portion, and the raised portion protrudes in a direction toward the shell 3 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the raised portion protrudes in the direction toward the housing 3. It should be explained in detail that the sound insulation portion 12 is designed as a raised bulge structure, and a accommodating space is formed on the side facing the crankshaft vibration damping pulley.

[0051] In this embodiment, the raised portion can be used to avoid the mounting bolts of the crankshaft vibration damping pulley and also provide installation space for the sound insulation device. The periodic raised structure can effectively reduce the fluctuation of the surface lift coefficient and also reduce the drag coefficient. In particular, when the raised diameter is larger, the noise reduction effect is more significant.

[0052] See also Figure 2 The height of the raised portion along the direction toward the shell 3 is D1, the height of the sound insulation device 1 along the direction toward the shell 3 is D2, and the range of D1 / D2 is 3 / 10-4 / 5.

[0053] See also Figure 2 The diameter of the noise reduction through hole is D3, the diameter of the sound insulation device 1 is D4, and the range of D3 / D4 is 1 / 6-1 / 7.

[0054] See also Figure 4 The sound insulation device further includes a bushing 2 , which is used to fixedly connect the sound insulation device 1 and the shell 3 , and the bushing 2 is located between the sound insulation device 1 and the shell 3 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the bushing 2 is used to fix the sound insulation device 1 and the shell 3. It should be explained in detail that the bushing 2 can be but is not limited to steel material; the bushing 2 is used to fix the sound insulation device 1 and the shell 3. It should be explained in detail that the sound insulation device 1 can be but is not limited to PU (Polyurethane) material, and the shell 3 can be but is not limited to PEP (Phosphoenolpyruvate) material.

[0056] In this embodiment, PU is an acoustic material with a loose and porous interior that can absorb the radiated noise from the timing cover vibration damping pulley area. The material has high elasticity and good shock absorption effect, which makes it very suitable for applications that require shock absorption effect. In addition, PU (Polyurethane) has excellent wear resistance and good durability, which is better than other elastomers, making it very suitable for scenes with serious wear problems. However, PU (Polyurethane) has the disadvantage of being difficult to fix due to its good elasticity, so it needs to be fixed with a material with higher hardness. The shell 3 is made of PEP (Phosphoen Phosphoenolpyruvate (PhP) materials. The forming process of PEP (Phosphoenolpyruvate) materials is relatively simple, does not require complex equipment and expensive investment, and reduces the cost of production and maintenance. In addition, PEP (Phosphoenolpyruvate) materials have excellent properties such as high strength, high hardness, high thermal conductivity, and high chemical stability. These characteristics make PEP (Phosphoenolpyruvate) materials these properties together ensure the hardness and durability of PEP (Phosphoenolpyruvate) materials in specific applications.

[0057] See also Figure 1 The cover body 11 includes a plurality of first mounting holes 121 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cover body 11 . The first mounting holes 121 are located between two adjacent sound insulation parts 12 , and the bushing 2 is arranged in the first mounting hole 121 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 121 is located between two adjacent sound insulation parts 12, and the bushing 2 is arranged in the first mounting hole 121. It should be explained in detail that the bushing 2 and the shell 3 are first inlaid into a whole, and the inlay method is not limited here; then it is assembled into a whole with the front end sound insulation device 1, and the bushing 2 on the shell 3 is pressed by the first bolt 5 to drive the shell 3 to provide a pressing force to complete the fixation.

[0059] See also Figure 5 , the utility model discloses a first embodiment of an engine.

[0060] In this embodiment, an engine includes the above-mentioned sound insulation device 1.

[0061] See also Figure 5 The engine further includes a pulley spoke 4, the pulley spoke 4, and the sound insulation device 1 and the pulley spoke 4 are fixedly connected.

[0062] See also Figure 5The sound insulation device 1 includes a cover body 11 and a sound insulation part 12, and the sound insulation part 12 and the noise reduction through hole 122 are spaced apart on the cover body 11; the pulley spoke 4 includes a weight reduction hole 41; the weight reduction hole 41 and the sound insulation part 12 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0063] In this embodiment, the weight-reducing holes 41 and the sound insulation parts 12 are arranged relative to each other. It should be explained in detail that the number of weight-reducing holes 41 and the number of sound insulation parts 12 can be different or the same; for example, when the number of weight-reducing holes 41 is 3, the number of sound insulation parts 12 can be 3 or 4.

[0064] In this embodiment, the weight-reducing hole 41 is a hole designed on the pulley spoke 4. Its main function is to reduce the weight of the pulley spoke 4, thereby reducing the weight of the entire part and improving its performance and efficiency. The sound insulation part 12 and the weight-reducing hole 41 are arranged relative to each other. The sound insulation part 12 can absorb sound wave energy and reduce sound reflection.

[0065] See also Figure 5 The sound insulation device 1 includes a plurality of sound insulation parts 12, and the plurality of sound insulation parts 12 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the cover body 11, and the weight reduction holes 41 are evenly spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the pulley spoke 4.

[0066] The circumferential arrangement of the lightening holes 41 in this embodiment helps to optimize the stress distribution of the structure and reduce stress concentration, thereby improving the fatigue life and reliability of the pulley spoke 4 structure.

[0067] See also Figure 5 The sound insulation device 1 includes a bushing 2, which is located between the sound insulation device 1 and the housing 3 to fixedly connect the sound insulation device 1 and the housing 3; the engine also includes a plurality of first bolts 5 and second bolts 6, the first bolts 5 pass through the bushing 2 to fixedly connect the sound insulation device 1 and the pulley spoke 4, and the second bolts 6 are used to connect the pulley spoke 4 and the engine.

[0069] If the noise reduction through hole 122 is not provided in this embodiment, during the operation of the engine, the second bolt 6 may rub against the sound insulation device 1 and generate abnormal noise. At the same time, the second mounting hole 122 can also meet the needs of later maintenance. Therefore, in the present utility model, the role of the noise reduction through hole 122 is not only to reduce noise.
