Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of compressor components, and in particular relates to an air suction muffler for reducing airflow resonance. Background Art

[0002] Existing large commercial compressors have relatively high gas dynamic noise, which is caused by the vibration of gas due to the flow of gas or the movement of objects in the gas. In refrigerator compressors, the intermittent intake and exhaust generate pressure fluctuations, which excite the vibration of the valve plate and pipeline, thereby generating noise. In addition, the vibration of the compressor excites the refrigerant gas in the shell to resonate, which also generates noise. If the intake and exhaust frequencies and their harmonics coincide with a certain order of natural frequency in the cavity, gas resonance is likely to occur. Commercial compressors have large pressure and pulsation, which are more prone to resonance. The existing silencer pipelines are relatively simple and can only reduce the amount of muffling at a certain frequency. A compressor is often matched with a variety of different refrigerators, which will generate gas resonance in some refrigerators, resulting in a loud noise from the compressor.

[0003] The suction muffler is a component in the compressor used to reduce the noise at the suction end. It is usually composed of an upper suction muffler shell, a lower suction muffler shell and a connecting partition structure in the middle.

[0004] The problem with the existing technology is that the existing suction silencer has a simple structure, usually only including two upper and lower silencer cavities, which have a noise reduction effect on individual frequency bands, cannot effectively reduce the amount of silence at multiple frequencies, and the silencer band is narrow; when the system pressure is high, resonance is easy to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Furthermore, a sunken table is provided on the top of the lower shell, and the outer edge of the transverse partition is connected to the sunken table.

[0015] The sunken table is provided to coordinate with the transverse partition for positioning, and the top of the transverse partition is fitted with the top surface of the upper shell to ensure structural stability.

[0016] Furthermore, a slot is provided in the lower shell, and the vertical partition is snap-connected in the slot.

[0017] Two card slots are provided to engage with the two sides of the vertical partition in a corresponding manner, which makes installation easy and enables the vertical partition to separate the lower cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, a vertical guide plate is provided in the resonance chamber, and a flow channel is provided between the top of the vertical guide plate and the horizontal partition plate. The vertical guide plate is provided to further separate the resonance chamber, increase the contact between the gas and the wall, and improve the noise reduction performance.

[0019] Furthermore, an oil leakage hole is provided at the bottom of the lower shell. The oil entering the suction muffler flows back to the interior of the compressor shell through the oil leakage hole at the bottom of the lower shell.

Example

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an intake silencer for reducing airflow resonance includes an upper shell 1, a communicating vessel and a lower shell 3 connected in sequence from top to bottom, a silencer cavity is formed in the middle of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3, an air outlet pipe 2 is provided on the upper shell 1, the communicating vessel includes a transverse partition 7, the transverse partition 7 divides the silencer cavity into an upper cavity 4 and a lower cavity, a vertical partition 8 is provided at the bottom of the transverse partition 7, the vertical partition 8 divides the lower cavity into an air intake cavity 5 and a resonance cavity 6, a communicating pipe 9 is provided through the vertical partition 8, a vertical air hole 10 is opened on the transverse partition 7, the vertical air hole 10 connects the air intake cavity 5 and the upper cavity 4, and the air intake cavity 5 is connected to an air intake pipe 11.

[0031] In the above scheme, a silencer cavity structure is formed by connecting the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3 to perform fluid silencer. The transverse partition 7 of the communicating vessel divides the silencer cavity into an upper cavity 4 and a lower cavity, and then the lower cavity is divided into an air intake cavity 5 and a resonance cavity 6 through a vertical partition 8. After the gas medium enters the air intake cavity 5 from the air intake pipe 11, part of the gas flows into the resonance cavity 6 through the communicating pipe 9. The communicating pipe 9 and the resonance cavity 6 enhance the friction between the air flow and the structural wall during movement, enhance the sound resistance, avoid air flow resonance, and achieve the purpose of reducing noise. The air in the air intake cavity 5 enters the upper cavity 4 through the vertical air hole 10, and then is discharged from the silencer from the air outlet pipe 2.

[0032] A separate resonance chamber 6 is set in the lower cavity of the muffler, which is connected to the resonance chamber 6 by the inner hole of the connecting pipe 9 of the vertical partition 8. The air column in the connecting pipe 9 is similar to a piston and has a certain sound quality. The resonance chamber 6 is similar to a gas spring. When the gas vibrates in the inner hole of the connecting pipe 9, there is friction and damping on the aperture wall, which has a certain sound resistance, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction.

[0033] Furthermore, a connecting portion is provided on the transverse partition 7 , and the vertical air hole 10 is provided through the middle of the connecting portion. The lengths of the vertical air hole 10 include at least two types.

[0034] By setting a connecting part and opening a vertical air hole 10 in the middle of the connecting part, the friction between the structural wall and the gas is enhanced to reduce noise. The lengths of the vertical air holes 10 are set in various ways to reduce noise in multiple frequency bands.

[0035] The pressure of commercial compressors is relatively high, and the sound pressure values ​​in various frequency bands are relatively high. In order to improve the muffler volume in multiple frequency bands, a plurality of vertical air holes 10 of different lengths are arranged on the muffler connecting pipe 9. In the embodiment, the lengths of the vertical air holes 10 are 12 mm and 20 mm respectively.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting portion includes a short block 13 and a long block 14 , and vertical air holes 10 are respectively formed on the short block 13 and the long block 14 .

[0037] By opening vertical air holes 10 on the short block 13 and the long block 14 , vertical air holes 10 of various lengths are formed. When air flows through the vertical air holes 10 of different lengths, the sound attenuation in a specific frequency band can be correspondingly improved.

[0038] In this embodiment, the short blocks 13 and long blocks 14 are integrally formed with the transverse partition 7 in a stepped structure, but can also be separated as needed. The connecting portion can comprise a cylindrical or square column. Multiple vertical air holes 10 are defined in each of the short blocks 13 and long blocks 14, each with a diameter of 2 mm to 5 mm.

[0039] Furthermore, the air intake pipe 11 is provided with a plurality of through holes 15 in the pipe wall. The outer ring of the air intake pipe 11 is coated with a sound absorbing material 12 , and the sound absorbing material 12 covers the area of ​​the through holes 15 in the pipe wall.

[0040] By opening a through hole 15 in the pipe wall of the intake pipe 11 and arranging a sound-absorbing material 12 on the outer circle of the intake pipe 11, the noise reduction effect at the intake pipe 11 is improved. The friction resistance encountered by the gas when passing through the intake pipe 11 is enhanced, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction and improving the noise reduction performance at the intake pipe 11.

[0041] The sound absorbing material 12 is preferably glass wool or rock wool, and the sound absorbing material 12 and the air intake pipe 11 can be bonded using AB glue.

[0042] A circle of sound-absorbing material 12 is set on the outer ring of the muffler intake pipe 11. When sound waves enter the intake pipe 11, they cause the gas and fibers at the sound-absorbing material 12 in the muffler to vibrate. Due to friction resistance and viscous resistance, part of the sound energy is converted into heat energy and dissipated, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction.

[0043] Furthermore, a sunken table 17 is provided on the top of the lower shell 3 , and the outer edge of the transverse partition 7 is connected to the sunken table 17 .

[0044] The sunken table 17 is provided to cooperate with the transverse partition 7 for positioning, and the top of the transverse partition 7 is fitted with the top surface of the upper shell 1 to ensure structural stability.

[0045] The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 3 are fixed by welding.

[0046] Furthermore, a slot 18 is provided in the lower shell 3 , and the vertical partition 8 is snap-connected in the slot 18 .

[0047] By providing two card slots 18 to engage with the two sides of the vertical partition 8 correspondingly, the installation is convenient, so that the vertical partition 8 can separate the lower cavity.

[0048] Furthermore, a vertical guide plate 19 is provided in the resonance chamber 6, and a flow channel opening 20 is provided between the top of the vertical guide plate 19 and the transverse partition 7. The vertical guide plate 19 is provided to further separate the resonance chamber 6, increase the contact between the gas and the wall, and improve the noise reduction performance.

[0049] Furthermore, an oil leakage hole 16 is provided at the bottom of the lower shell 3. The oil entering the suction muffler flows back to the interior of the compressor shell through the oil leakage hole 16 at the bottom of the lower shell 3.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
