[0020] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.

[0021] Referring to Figs. 1-3 A kind of vehicle air conditioner pipeline with noise reduction structure, including pipeline main body 1, the pipeline main body 1 is provided with noise reduction section, and wherein the air conditioner pipeline is connected heat exchange piece (such as evaporator and condenser etc.

[0022] The noise reduction joint comprises a pipe body 2, both ends of the pipe body 2 are provided with a connecting sleeve 3, the connecting sleeve 3 is arranged in communication with the pipe body 1, the inner wall of the pipe body 2 is provided with a reflection groove 4, the cross section of the reflection groove 4 is oval, the inner wall of the pipe body 2 close to the inner wall of the reflection groove 4 is provided with a flow guide vane 5, the reflection groove 4 is provided with an acoustic panel, the acoustic panel extends to the position of the flow guide vane 5, and the flow guide vane 5 is further provided with an acoustic tube structure.

[0023] In this design, when the noise in the pipe body 1 is reflected along the inner wall and conducted to the noise reduction joint, part of the sound wave passes through the acoustic tube structure, and the other part propagates to the acoustic tube after entering the reflection groove 4, so that the sound waves interfere with each other, the kinetic energy of the sound waves is reduced, and the noise is suppressed to a certain extent. The flow guide vane 5 is used to guide the airflow through the noise reduction joint to avoid the airflow blowing to the reflection groove 4 to cause vibration and generate additional noise. The flow guide vane 5 is made of rigid material and is polished, and the acoustic panel is made of the commonly used acoustic panel material in the prior art. The reflection of the sound wave also absorbs part of the sound wave, further reduces the kinetic energy of the sound wave, and ensures that the final sound wave can be reduced to below 30 decibels when passing through the air conditioner filter element with the air. In this design, the sound waves reflected in the pipe are absorbed internally, and part of the sound waves is reflected and interferes with the sound waves propagating with the air. Without affecting the normal use of the air conditioner pipeline and without causing large air resistance to increase the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment, the noise is effectively suppressed from propagating into the cab.

[0024] Further, the acoustic tube structure comprises a connecting rod 6 fixedly connected with the flow guide vane 5, one end of the connecting rod 6 close to each other is fixedly connected with an outer tube 7, the outer tube 7 is provided with an inner tube 8, the outer tube 7 and the inner tube 8 are both tapered, and the inner tube 8 is made of sound absorbing material. The end of the acoustic tube structure with a larger inner diameter is close to the reflection groove 4;

[0025] In this design, the end of the inner tube 8 close to the cab is flared, and the tapered acoustic tube can make the sound waves reflected by the reflection groove 4 enter the inner tube 8, and then reflected in the inner tube 8 and interfere with the sound waves directly passing through the inner tube 8. The use of the inner tube 8 cooperates with the outer tube 7 to preferentially ensure the sound absorption effect of the inner tube 8 and the supporting effect of the outer tube 7 and the connecting rod 6, so as to avoid the whole acoustic tube structure vibrating in the pipe body 2 and generating additional noise when blown by the airflow.

[0026] Further, the pipe body 2 is wrapped with a soundproof cotton sleeve 9, and the both ends of the soundproof cotton sleeve 9 extend to the pipe body 1. The both ends of the pipe body 2 can be connected with the pipe body 1 by using flexible material, so that the pipe body 2 can convert the kinetic energy of the sound wave into its own vibration. The soundproof cotton sleeve 9 can prevent the noise from spreading outward, and can achieve more effective noise reduction effect.

[0027] Further, a plurality of vacuum cavities 10 are arranged between the outer tube 7 and the inner tube 8, and the vacuum cavities 10 are arranged to inhibit the sound waves in the inner tube 8 from being reflected and then transmitted outward again, thereby improving the sound elimination effect of the sound elimination tube.

[0028] The above merely describes a preferred embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art, according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application, can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and all of them should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
