Description
Technical Field

[0002] Most existing silencers are made of porous materials, that is, they use porous materials (such as foam metal, glass fiber, etc.) to absorb sound wave energy and convert sound energy into heat energy to reduce noise. The principle is to fix the sound-absorbing material on the inner wall of the air flow channel or arrange it in a certain way in the pipe. Due to friction resistance and viscosity, the sound energy is converted into heat energy and then dissipated to achieve the purpose of noise reduction. However, due to its principle, porous material silencers are only suitable for reducing medium and high frequency noise, and cannot effectively deal with medium and low frequency noise, resulting in poor noise reduction effect. The internal material of most silencers is ordinary ABS plastic, the mechanical properties of which are greatly affected by temperature. Long-term gas impact is prone to deformation and damage.

[0026] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a new type of oxygen concentrator nitrogen exhaust silencer includes a silencer shell 1, a diverter 2, and a silencer structure 3. The silencer shell 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12. The top of the upper shell 11 is provided with a connecting pipe 13 connected to the gas outlet end of the oxygen concentrator. The gas enters the upper shell 11 through the connecting pipe 13, and the diverter 2 is fixed in the upper shell 11 by screws and communicates with the connecting pipe 13. Therefore, the gas will enter the diverter 2. The diverter 2 is provided with a silencer structure 3. One end of the silencer structure 3 is connected to the upper shell The bottom surface of the body 11 is in contact with the other end thereof, and the bottom surface of the diverter 2 is in contact with the other end thereof. After the gas enters the diverter 2, it will exert pressure on the silencer structure 3, causing the silencer structure 3 to deform, so that the gas flows out through the first diverter hole 21 and the second diverter hole 22 respectively. Through the deformation of the silencer structure 3, the flow path and speed of the gas in the silencer can be optimized, thereby reducing the generation and propagation of noise. The deformation of the silencer structure 3 and the diverter 2 work in conjunction with each other, which can more effectively eliminate or weaken the noise generated by the gas flow.
[0028] Among them, the diameter of the connecting pipe 13 is smaller than the diameter of the upper shell 11. After the gas enters the upper shell 11 through the connecting pipe 13, the cross-sectional area of the gas suddenly increases. At this time, the flow rate of the gas will decrease, thereby eliminating low-frequency noise. At the same time, when the gas enters the diverter 2 with a larger diameter, due to the larger diameter, it can accommodate more gas, making the airflow distribution more uniform, and can effectively reduce the vortex and turbulence of the airflow inside the muffler, thereby reducing the generation of noise.
[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the silencer structure 3 includes a sealing ring 31, a pair of fixing seats 32 and a spring 33. The spring 33 is arranged in the diverter 2, and the two ends of the spring 33 are respectively provided with fixing seats 32 for supporting the spring 33. A sealing ring 31 is inserted into the fixing seat 32 away from the upper shell 11, and one end of the corresponding spring 33 is sleeved on the sealing ring 31. When the upper shell 11 is covered on the lower shell 12, the spring 33 is in a compressed state. The compression of the spring 33 can balance the pressure fluctuations in the muffler and reduce the noise caused by the sudden change in pressure. In addition, the spring 33 in a compressed state can affect the diverter. 2, thereby reducing eddy currents and turbulence and reducing noise generation. At the same time, the compression state of the spring 33 can be used as an adjustable parameter to optimize the noise reduction performance of the muffler. By adjusting the compression degree of the spring 33, effective suppression of noises of different frequencies can be achieved. When the gas further compresses the spring 33, greater energy is consumed, resulting in more sound energy consumption, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing medium and low frequency noise. In the process of gas flow, the spring 33 can also play a role of buffering and vibration reduction, reducing the impact and vibration of the gas on the diverter 2 and other components.
[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of vent holes 34 are provided on the fixing seat 32. The fixing seat 32 close to the upper shell 11 is connected to the connecting pipe 13, and a sealing ring 31 is not provided. When the gas passes through the connecting pipe 13, pressure is applied to the fixing seat 32 to compress the spring 33, and the vent holes 34 can divert the gas to prevent excessive pressure from causing the compression direction of the spring 33 to tilt, resulting in poor noise reduction effect on medium and low frequency noise. The vent holes 34 of the fixing seat 32 away from the upper shell 11 are sealed by the sealing ring 31 to prevent gas leakage.
[0031] In order to effectively reduce high-frequency noise, a felt 4 and a sponge 5 are provided in the lower shell 12. A plurality of sponges 5 are arranged in sequence along the direction of the airflow and between a pair of felts 4. The felt 4 and sponges 5 are porous materials that can effectively reduce high-frequency noise. When the upper shell 11 is covered on the lower shell 12, the gas flows out through the first diversion hole 21 through the felt 4 and sponge 5 for silencing. At this time, the gas also compresses the spring 33. The fixed seat 32 away from the upper shell 11 and the felt 4 away from the lower shell 12 abut against each other to support the spring 33, so that the spring 33 can produce a certain deformation in the direction of the airflow to consume sound energy.
[0032] In order to improve the sealing performance of the muffler, a cover sealing ring 6 is provided on the inner wall surface of the lower shell 12, and the cover sealing ring 6 is sleeved on the felt 4 or sponge 5. The outer diameter of the cover sealing ring 6 matches the inner diameter of the lower shell 12, so that the gas will not be discharged from the lower shell 12 through other paths, and can only be discharged from the lower shell 12 after passing through the felt 4 and sponge 5, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.
[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] After the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are fixed by screws, the internal spring 33 and sponge 5 are compressed, and the connecting pipe 13 is connected to the air outlet of the oxygen concentrator. The gas enters the upper shell 11. Due to the change in the cross-sectional area of the gas, the low-frequency noise is consumed. Then the gas exerts pressure on the fixing seat 32, and the fixing seat 32 transmits the force to the spring 33 to compress the spring 33. In the process of the spring 33 being compressed, the sound energy is lost, thereby eliminating the medium and low-frequency noise. The gas flows out through the first diversion hole 21 and the second diversion hole 22. At the same time, the vent hole 34 on the fixing seat 32 also diverts the gas to prevent excessive pressure from causing the compression direction of the spring 33 to change. After passing through the first diversion hole 21 and the second diversion hole 22, the gas will pass through the felt 4 and sponge 5, thereby eliminating the high-frequency noise, and finally flow out from the hole at the bottom of the lower shell 12. The diverter 2 is made of POM material, which has high mechanical strength and rigidity and will not be deformed due to long-term gas impact and high temperature.
