[0071] For shell 100, please continue to refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 , the shell 100 is a humanized portable shell, and is carefully designed in structure, so that it is small in size, convenient to carry. Shell 100 is internally provided with cavity 101 for storing fan assembly 200 and noise reduction component 300, which constitutes the basic framework of noise reduction fan 10.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 And Figure 4 Indicated, wind shell 120 is hollow cylinder structure, and its inside has cavity 101, and is provided with air inlet 102 communicated with outside at one end of cavity 101, and is provided with air outlet 103 communicated with outside at the other end, wherein, air inlet 102 is provided with air inlet cover 104 on one side, and air outlet 103 is provided with air outlet cover 105 on one side, so that air can be sucked into cavity 101 from air inlet 102 through air inlet cover 104, and then discharged from air outlet cover 105 through air outlet 103, to improve the overall air outlet efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the mini design of cavity 101 ensures the flexibility of the equipment when in use.
[0074] In some embodiments, the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are respectively arranged at two ends of the air casing 120, the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are circular in cross-sectional shape, and the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the axis of the cavity 101 are collinear.
[0075] In the embodiments of the present application, the cross section of the cavity 101 and the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 is circular to ensure uniform suction and consistent overall size, without using angles, and to maintain uniform wall thickness of the air casing 120, thereby ensuring the overall strength of the air casing 120. In some embodiments, the cross section of the cavity 101 can be elliptical or polygonal, the cross section of the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 can be waist-shaped or rectangular, and the positions of the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 can be offset from the axis of the cavity 101, which are not specifically limited in the present application.
[0076] The axis of the air casing 120 is the central axis direction of the cylindrical shape, and the airflow direction of the fan assembly 200 of the noise reduction fan 10 during operation is parallel to the axis. In other embodiments, when the air casing 120 is not cylindrical, the axis of the air casing 120 is the extension direction of the main structure, and the airflow direction is parallel to the axis. In some embodiments, the air casing 120 is wrapped with a buffer sleeve (not numbered, the same below), and in other embodiments, the buffer sleeve can also be omitted.
[0077] In some embodiments, the battery module 111 and the control assembly 112 are arranged in the hand casing 110, and the fan assembly 200 and the noise reduction assembly 300 are arranged in the air casing 120. The battery module 111 (such as a battery) in the noise reduction fan 10 for supplying power to each component in the hand casing 110 is logically connected to the noise reduction assembly 300 through a power management system, so as to realize the functions of charging management, discharging management and power consumption management through the power management system.
[0078] As shown in FIGS. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the length of the hand casing 110 is 52-62 mm, the width of the hand casing 110 is 25.5-35.5 mm, and the height of the hand casing 110 is 96.6-106.6 mm, and the overall volume of the hand casing 110 is relatively small, so that the hand casing 110 is convenient for the user to hold.
[0079] For the fan assembly 200, the fan assembly 200 includes a motor 210 and a fan blade 220. The control assembly 112 controls the battery module 111 to supply power to the motor 210, and the motor 210 drives the fan blade 220 to rotate to generate wind pressure, so as to suck air from the air inlet 102, pass through the cavity 101, and blow out from the air outlet 103.
[0080] In some embodiments, the fan blade 220 is accommodated in the cavity 101 and arranged at one side close to the air inlet 102. The motor 210 includes a stator assembly 211 and a rotor assembly 212, and the outer diameter of the motor 210 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cavity 101, and the motor 210 is mounted on the inner side of the cavity 101.
[0081] In some embodiments, the fan blade 220 includes a hub 221 and a plurality of blades 222 arranged around the hub 221. The outer diameter of the motor 210 is smaller than the maximum inner diameter of the hub 221, so a part of the motor 210 can also be accommodated in the inner side of the hub 221. In this embodiment, the hub 221 increases radially from back to front, the air casing 120 is radially constant from back to front, the maximum diameter of the hub 221 is not greater than the diameter of the air casing 120, and the wind generated by the rotation of the fan blade 220 can smoothly flow to the outside of the air casing 120, reducing wind resistance and wind loss. In other embodiments, the maximum diameter of the hub 221 is less than 2mm different from the diameter of the air casing 120, which can also achieve the effect of reducing wind resistance and wind loss.
[0082] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, the rotor assembly 212 includes a shaft, a bearing, a magnetic ring and a yoke. The bearing is arranged in the bearing seat, and one end of the shaft is fixed in the bearing seat through the bearing. The magnetic ring is fixed on the radial inner side of the yoke, the yoke is fixedly connected to the shaft, and the yoke and the magnetic ring are arranged on the radial outer side of the bearing seat. The stator assembly 211 is arranged between the bearing seat and the magnetic ring, and the other end of the shaft is fixedly connected to the fan blade 220. That is, the magnetic ring is arranged on the radial outer side of the stator assembly 211, and the motor 210 is an external rotor motor. Moreover, the magnetic ring is fixed on the radial inner side of the yoke, and the yoke is fixedly connected to the shaft, so that when the stator assembly 211 drives the magnetic ring to rotate, the magnetic ring drives the yoke to rotate, and the yoke drives the shaft to rotate. Therefore, the magnetic ring or the yoke does not need to be connected to the motor 210, and the other end of the shaft is fixedly connected to the motor 210, and the shaft drives the motor 210 to rotate.
[0083] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, the bearing includes a first bearing located in front, a second bearing located in back, and a buffer arranged between the first bearing and the second bearing. The front end of the inner side wall of the cavity 101 directly abuts against the second bearing, or an elastic member is arranged between the front end of the inner side wall and the second bearing. The buffer can be a single spring, or can be composed of a spring and a rubber sleeve, or can be other elastic materials. The elastic member can be a spring, or other elastic materials.
[0084] In some embodiments, the portable active noise reduction fan 10 is applied to a high-speed motor running at a speed exceeding a preset speed; wherein the high-speed motor includes a high-speed three-phase motor.
[0085] Specifically, the portable active noise reduction fan 10 can be used to run a high-speed motor with a rotation speed exceeding a preset rotation speed (for example, 12000 rpm or more), and the high-speed motor is prone to generate high noise in actual operation, so that the portable active noise reduction fan 10 can be used for active noise reduction control. In some preferred embodiments, the high-speed motor can be a high-speed three-phase motor, which can provide sufficient power and rotation speed to ensure the wind power of the portable active noise reduction fan 10. In this case, in order to ensure good overall damping effect, a buffer can be arranged on the inner wall of the shell 100, which can timely absorb and reduce the vibration caused by the high-speed three-phase motor, so that the portable active noise reduction fan 10 can continuously and stably rotate at high speed.
[0086] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the motor 210 is a three-phase high-speed motor, and the motor 210 further includes a driving board. The inside of the wind shell 120 is provided with a fixed hole, and the driving board is provided with a fixed port. The fixing member passes through the fixed port and is fixed to the fixed hole, so as to fix the driving board to the wind shell 120.
[0087] For the noise reduction assembly 300, the noise reduction assembly 300 includes a signal collector 310, a signal processor 320 and a signal generator 330. The signal collector 310 is arranged in the cavity 101 and is used to collect noise signals in real time when the fan assembly 200 is running. The signal processor 320 is arranged in the cavity 101 and is electrically connected with the signal collector 310, and is used to obtain the noise signals and generate signal generation instructions according to the noise signals. The signal generator 330 is arranged in the cavity 101 and is electrically connected with the signal processor 320, and is used to obtain the signal generation instructions and emit noise reduction signals according to the signal generation instructions.
[0088] In some embodiments, the noise signal collected by the signal collector 310 is a dynamic comprehensive noise signal including the inlet noise, the outlet noise, the fan blade noise and / or the motor noise. The inlet noise and the outlet noise are respectively the noise signals generated by the shell 100 when the air is inhaled and exhaled. The fan blade noise and the motor noise are respectively the noise signals generated by the fan blade 220 and the motor 210 of the fan assembly 200 when they are running.
[0089] Specifically, during the operation of the fan assembly 200, the air inlet 102 and the air inlet cover 104 of the housing 100 will suck in a large amount of air, thereby causing the air inlet cover 104 and the air inlet outer contour to generate a corresponding size of air inlet noise. Or during the operation of the fan assembly 200, the air outlet 103 and the air outlet cover 105 of the housing 100 will also exhaust a large amount of air, thereby causing the air outlet cover 105 and the air outlet outer contour to also generate a corresponding size of air outlet noise. Or during the operation of the fan assembly 200, the rotation process of the fan blade 220 will move with the air, thereby generating pressure pulsation and generating a corresponding size of fan blade noise. Or during the operation of the fan assembly 200, when the rotor of the motor 210 cuts the magnetic force line, the friction between the rotor and the stator will generate a corresponding size of motor noise. Therefore, the above-mentioned four main static noise signals will dynamically form a comprehensive noise signal and be transmitted to the user's hearing system during the user's use of the noise reduction fan 10 (for example, the user holding the noise reduction fan 10 and walking, running, or remaining stationary). In some embodiments, the signal collector 310 follows the user's use scenario, collects the comprehensive noise signal dynamically composed of the above-mentioned air inlet noise, air outlet noise, fan blade noise, and / or motor noise in real time, and sends it to the signal processor 320 for detailed analysis and processing.
[0090] In some embodiments, the air inlet noise includes static air inlet noise generated by the portable active noise reduction fan 10 when fixedly used and dynamic air inlet noise generated when the user shakes it; the air outlet noise includes static air outlet noise generated by the portable active noise reduction fan 10 when fixedly used and dynamic air outlet noise generated when the user shakes it; the fan blade noise includes static fan blade noise generated by the portable active noise reduction fan 10 when fixedly used and dynamic fan blade noise generated when the user shakes it; and the motor noise includes static motor noise generated by the portable active noise reduction fan 10 when fixedly used and dynamic fan blade noise generated when the user shakes it.
[0091] Specifically, in the actual application scenario of the portable active noise reduction fan 10, it can have multiple use states, and the corresponding dynamic comprehensive noise signal generated in each use state is different. For example, when the user places it on a table as a desktop fan, the portable active noise reduction fan 10 is in a static state, and the corresponding dynamic comprehensive noise signal generated is static noise, or when the user holds it and moves it at an irregular speed and direction, the portable active noise reduction fan 10 is in an irregular running state, and the corresponding dynamic comprehensive noise signal generated is dynamic noise.
[0092] In some embodiments, after the noise signal is collected by the signal collector 310, the noise signal is transmitted to the signal processor 320, which can extract the amplitude, frequency and phase of the noise signal, and generate a signal generation instruction according to the collected noise signal, which can instruct the signal generator 330 to emit a noise reduction signal to eliminate the noise signal.
[0093] In an embodiment, within a preset error tolerance range, the noise reduction signal is opposite in phase, identical in frequency and amplitude to the noise signal, for destructive interference of the noise signal, to achieve active noise control of the fan assembly 200.
[0094] Specifically, sound is composed of a certain frequency spectrum, and the frequency spectrum of the noise reduction signal is exactly the same as the noise signal to be eliminated, but the phase is just opposite, i.e. 180° difference, which can completely eliminate the noise signal. In this way, after the interference and interference of the noise reduction signal, the new sound wave generated can be weak enough to be inaudible to the human ear, thereby reducing the impact of the motor noise signal on humans.
[0095] It should be understood that due to the influence of external factors such as background noise, temperature change, etc. during signal collection or environmental noise measurement, the signal collection may not be accurate, or different noise reduction algorithms have their applicable range and limitations, and some algorithms may not be able to effectively process noise in all frequency ranges, resulting in inaccurate effects of noise reduction audio generation, or the structure around the fan (such as walls, floors and other objects) can affect the propagation characteristics of sound waves, causing reflection, diffraction or resonance, thereby changing the effect of signal collection, ultimately resulting in the phase of the generated noise reduction signal not being exactly 180° different from the noise signal, and / or the frequency and amplitude not being exactly the same. Therefore, a preset error tolerance range can be set, as long as the generated noise reduction signal and the noise signal are within the error tolerance range, it is considered that the phase of the two is opposite, the frequency and amplitude are the same.
[0096] In some embodiments, the signal processor 320 can simultaneously receive noise signals obtained by multiple signal collectors 310, and can output multiple signal generation instructions to the signal generator 330, that is, one noise reduction fan 10 can include multiple sets of noise reduction assemblies 300.
[0097] Among them, the way each unit in the noise reduction assembly 300 receives and transmits signals can be wireless or wired, that is, the noise reduction assembly 300 can simultaneously perform active noise control on multiple target areas in the noise reduction fan 10.
[0098] Specifically, in a possible implementation, the signal collector 310 and the signal generator 330 are both electrically connected to the signal processor 320, and the signal processor 320 is configured to control the signal collector 310 to collect the noise signal and control the signal generator 330 to play the noise reduction signal.
[0099] In this way, the signal processor 320 can control the plurality of signal collectors 310 to collect the noise signal, and after the signal processor 320 performs feature extraction and analysis processing on the collected noise signal and generates the signal generation instruction, the signal processor 320 can control the plurality of signal generators 330 to respectively play the corresponding noise reduction signal, so as to offset the noise signal.
[0100] In another possible implementation, the noise reduction assembly 300 provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include a wireless communication assembly, and the signal processor 320, the signal collector 310, and the signal generator 330 are all electrically connected to the wireless communication assembly.
[0101] In this way, the signal processor 320 can send the signal generation instruction to the plurality of signal collectors 310 and the plurality of signal generators 330 in a wireless communication manner, so that the noise reduction assembly 300 is convenient to use.
[0102] In a specific implementation, the wireless communication assembly includes at least one of a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, and a 5G module.
[0103] In order to facilitate signal transmission, the wireless communication assembly adopts a wireless communication manner, which can include one or more of a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, and a 5G module. The WiFi module is arranged in the wireless communication assembly to directly connect the signal processor 320, the signal collector 310, and the signal generator 330 to the Internet by using WiFi, so that the signal processor 320, the signal collector 310, and the signal generator 330 communicate with each other. The Bluetooth module is a short-range wireless communication technology that replaces data cables. The Bluetooth module supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communication, and wirelessly connects the signal processor 320, the signal collector 310, and the signal generator 330 into a micro network, so as to realize fast and convenient communication among these modules. The 5G is a new generation of broadband mobile communication technology with high speed, low latency, and large connection characteristics. The 5G module arranged in the wireless communication assembly can realize interconnection of the signal processor 320, the signal collector 310, and the signal generator 330, so as to realize fast communication between the signal processor 320 and the signal generator 330. In a specific implementation, the arrangement can be made according to actual use, and the embodiment does not limit this.
[0104] In a specific implementation scenario, the working principle of the noise reduction fan 10 can be as follows: when the noise reduction fan 10 is started, the main controller initializes all elements; then the signal processor 320 reads the noise signals sent by the at least one signal collector 310, and continuously detects if the noise signals sent by the signal collector 310 are not detected. If the noise signal is detected, the signal processor 320 first uses the FFT transform to analyze the frequency, amplitude and phase of each noise signal, and then generates a signal generation instruction according to the analyzed frequency, amplitude and phase of the noise signal, and sends the signal generation instruction to the corresponding matched signal generator 330 to instruct the signal generator 330 to emit a noise reduction signal with the same frequency and amplitude as the noise signal but with opposite phase to eliminate the noise signal.
[0105] The technical effect of the above scheme is that, on the one hand, the fan assembly and the noise reduction assembly are accommodated in the cavity by the portable shell, which greatly reduces the physical volume of the fan, makes the device easy to carry, and is suitable for use in various occasions, thereby improving the portability and operability of the active noise reduction fan; on the other hand, by means different from the prior art, the scheme can dynamically analyze various noise signals, including inlet noise, outlet noise, fan blade noise and / or motor noise, thereby collecting dynamic comprehensive noise signals generated inside and outside the cavity in real time when the fan assembly is running, and emitting corresponding noise reduction signals according to the dynamic comprehensive noise signals, thereby realizing active noise control of the fan assembly to reduce the noise level when the fan is running.
[0106] Those skilled in the art can understand that, Figures 1 to 4 The portable active noise reduction fan shown in the above-mentioned embodiments is only a block diagram of part of the structure related to the scheme of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the noise reduction fan to which the scheme of the present application is applied. The specific noise reduction assembly can include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have a different arrangement of components.
[0107] In an embodiment, the signal collector 310 includes at least one sound sensor 311; wherein the at least one sound sensor 311 is arranged at the corresponding at least one target point in the cavity 101 to collect noise signals near each target point in real time;
[0108] The sound sensors 311, distributed at various target points within the cavity 101, are used to collect noise signals generated by relevant parts of the fan assembly 200 during operation. For example, during the operation of the fan assembly 200, the fan blades 220 rotate and interact with the air, generating pressure pulsations and thus producing noise of a corresponding magnitude. Alternatively, the torque generated by the fan blades 220 is transmitted to the motor 210 through the transmission mechanism, also generating noise of a corresponding magnitude, mainly including bearing noise, gear noise, and motor noise. Furthermore, when the rotor of the motor 210 cuts magnetic lines of force, friction between the rotor and stator generates noise of a corresponding magnitude. Or, under strong winds, a short circuit in the motor 210 can also produce abnormal noise, as can aerodynamic noise generated by high-speed airflow, unstable airflow, and the interaction between the airflow and the blades 222. Therefore, the sound sensors 311 at various locations can be used to collect the aforementioned noise signals.
[0109] In some embodiments, the target location includes at least the edge of the air inlet 102, the edge of the air outlet 103, the vicinity of the motor 210, the vicinity of the fan blade 220, and the vicinity of the air duct center 106.
[0110] For details, please continue as follows Figure 3 As shown, since the noise of the fan assembly 200 is mainly generated when the fan blades 220 rotate, in one possible implementation, the multiple sound sensors 311 include a first microphone 311a and a second microphone 311b. The first microphone 311a is disposed on the blades 222 of the fan blades 220 and is configured to collect the noise signal of the blades 222 of the fan blades 220. The second microphone 311b is disposed on the hub 221 of the fan blades 220 and is configured to collect the noise signal of the hub 221.
[0111] In this way, the first microphone 311a can collect the noise signal of the blades 222 of the fan blade 220 and transmit the noise signal to the signal processor 320 to extract the amplitude, frequency, and phase characteristics of the noise signal. The signal generator 330 then generates a noise reduction signal to cancel the noise signal, thereby partially or completely eliminating the noise signal generated by the blades 222 of the fan blade 220 during rotation. Similarly, the second microphone 311b can collect the noise signal of the hub 221 of the fan blade 220 and transmit the noise signal to the signal processor 320 to extract the amplitude, frequency, and phase characteristics of the noise signal. Based on these characteristics, the signal generator 330 generates a noise reduction signal to cancel the noise signal, thereby partially or completely eliminating the noise signal generated by the hub 221 of the fan blade 220 during rotation.
[0112] Please continue as follows Figure 3As shown, in addition to the hub 221 and blades 222 generating significant noise during rotation, the rotor assembly 212 of the motor 210 also generates noise signals when cutting magnetic lines of force, as well as the friction between the rotor assembly 212 and the stator assembly 211. In some embodiments, the plurality of sound sensors 311 further include a third microphone 311c, which is disposed on the inner wall near the motor 210 within the cavity 101 and configured to collect noise signals from the motor 210.
[0113] Thus, the third microphone 311c can collect the noise signal of the motor 210 of the fan assembly 200 and transmit the noise signal to the signal processor 320 to extract the amplitude, frequency and phase characteristics of the noise signal, and generate a noise reduction signal to cancel the noise signal based on these characteristics using the signal generator 330, thereby partially or completely eliminating the noise signal generated by the motor 210 of the fan assembly 200 during operation.
[0114] In other embodiments, although the related technology reduces the noise generated when air flows in the cavity 101 by improving the structure of the fan housing 120, some noise will still inevitably be generated when air flows in the cavity 101. Therefore, in some embodiments, the plurality of sound sensors 311 also include a fourth microphone 311d, which is respectively disposed on the inner wall near the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the center of the air duct 106 in the cavity 101, and is configured to collect noise signals from the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the center of the air duct 106.
[0115] Thus, the fourth microphone 311d can collect noise signals generated when air flows in the cavity 101 and transmit the noise signals to the signal processor 320 to extract the amplitude, frequency and phase characteristics of the noise signals. Based on these characteristics, the signal generator 330 generates a noise reduction signal to cancel the noise signals, thereby eliminating the noise signals generated in the air inlet 102, air outlet 103 and air duct center 106 in the cavity 101 when the fan assembly 200 is running.
[0116] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the signal processor 320 includes a filter 321, a signal synthesizer 322, a signal amplifier 323, an analog-to-digital converter 324, and a computer chip 325 connected in sequence.
[0117] Among them, the filter is used to perform real-time filtering processing on the static noise signals collected by each sound sensor to obtain the filtered noise signal;
[0118] In some embodiments, the filtering process is to solve the frequency aliasing of the audio signal, and when the analog signal is discretely collected, a low-pass filter can be used to sample it to obtain a filtered noise signal.
[0119] In other embodiments, the signal processor 320 at least includes a plurality of filters 321. The plurality of filters 321 includes, but is not limited to, an IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter, a Biquad filter. Since the Biquad filter integrates the characteristics of, for example, a high-pass filter, a low-pass filter, a frequency equalization filter, a notch filter, etc., the use of a combination of these filters 321 achieves the reduction of the noise frequency band of the noise signal, which can achieve the purpose of preliminary reduction of the specific noise signal.
[0120] The signal synthesizer 322 is configured to perform signal fusion processing on the filtered noise signals to obtain a dynamically composed comprehensive noise signal.
[0121] Specifically, the signal synthesizer 322 can convert the multiple filtered noise signals into one comprehensive noise signal according to an object-based audio (object-based audio) encoding mode. In some embodiments, the signal synthesizer 322 is configured to re-encode the multiple filtered noise signals according to an NGA audio encoding format (i.e., an object-based audio encoding mode), that is, to transcode the multiple filtered noise signals. In this way, all noise signals are fused into one comprehensive noise signal, so that only one decoder is needed for decoding when signal amplification is performed. The object-based audio encoding mode can be AC-4, MPEG-H, DTS-UHD, but is not limited thereto.
[0122] In an embodiment, the multiple filtered noise signals can be dynamically transcoded and fused into one comprehensive noise signal by an audio mixer or an audio interface. The core principle of the audio mixer or the audio interface is to combine, adjust and process the amplitudes and frequency responses of the multiple filtered static noise signals to dynamically generate a comprehensive audio signal. In this way, multiple noise sources can be balanced and mixed without loss of sound quality, thereby achieving an ideal noise reduction effect.
[0123] In some embodiments, the mixer is specifically designed for mixing multiple audio signals. Its basic functions include: ① Each input signal of its input channel can be accessed through an independent channel to the mixer. ② Each input channel is equipped with a volume knob to adjust the volume ratio of different signals. ③ It is equipped with an equalizer to adjust the gain of each frequency band to optimize the sound quality. ④ It dynamically combines all adjusted signals into a comprehensive output signal inside the mixer and outputs it through the mixer's output port, which can be connected to speakers or other devices.
[0124] In some embodiments, the audio interface is used to convert multiple audio signals into digital signals and connect to a computer or other digital audio processing device. Its basic functions include: ① Support multi-channel input connection of multiple audio sources. ② It includes a converter inside to convert analog audio signals into digital signals, while some basic mixing processing may be performed. ③ It can be used with a digital audio workstation (DAW), and users can adjust the mixing, such as volume, sound phase, and effects, in the software, and finally output a single path.
[0125] Among them, the signal amplifier 323 is used for signal amplification processing of the comprehensive noise signal to obtain a comprehensive amplified signal.
[0126] In some embodiments, the signal amplifier 323 is used to enhance the amplitude of the comprehensive noise signal to improve its strength and quality during transmission, processing or output. Among them, the signal amplifier 323 can be an audio amplifier or a radio frequency amplifier, which can amplify the tiny noise signal to a sufficient level for subsequent processing or output, and by reducing noise and distortion, the signal amplifier 323 can improve the clarity and reliability of the noise signal. In addition, the signal amplifier 323 can help match signals between different devices to ensure they work effectively.
[0127] Among them, the analog-to-digital converter 324 is used for analog-to-digital conversion processing of the comprehensive amplified signal to obtain a corresponding pulse code signal.
[0128] In some embodiments, the pulse code signal is an audio pulse code modulation (PCM) signal.
[0129] Specifically, the analog-to-digital converter 324 (ADC, Analog-to-Digital Converter) is an electronic device or circuit that converts analog signals into digital signals. This process is called analog-to-digital conversion, and its purpose is to make analog signals (i.e. comprehensive amplified signals) can be processed by digital computers or computer chips 325.
[0130] In some embodiments, the basic steps of analog-to-digital conversion are as follows:
[0131] ①Input Integrated Amplification Signal: Generally, this integrated amplification signal is an amplified analog signal, such as the output from an audio amplifier, temperature sensor, or other sensor.
[0132] ②Sampling: The analog-to-digital converter 324 detects the input analog signal at a certain sampling frequency. This frequency needs to be higher than the Nyquist frequency of the signal (usually twice the signal frequency) to ensure the integrity of the signal.
[0133] ③Quantization: The sampled analog signal value is converted into a discrete digital value. At this time, quantization error may occur.
[0134] ④Encoding: The quantized value is encoded into a digital signal, usually in binary form (such as pulse code modulation, PCM), and output as a digital signal.
[0135] In some embodiments, pulse code modulation (PCM) is a digital signal representation method widely used in audio, video, and other analog signal digital representation. Its characteristics include: signal discretization: PCM converts continuous analog signals into a series of discrete digital values through sampling and quantization; energy consumption and bandwidth efficiency: digital signals after PCM encoding are less susceptible to noise interference during transmission, and can reduce transmission bandwidth through compression techniques.
[0136] Among them, the computer chip 325 is used to perform phase inversion processing on the pulse code signal to obtain anti-phase signal data, and generate signal generation instructions based on the anti-phase signal data.
[0137] In an embodiment, the audio generation instruction includes pulse code data with the same frequency and amplitude as the pulse code signal, but with opposite phase.
[0138] In some embodiments, the computer chip 325 can determine the spectral range and size corresponding to the pulse code signal by analyzing the Hanning window spectrum of the pulse code signal, and calculate the corresponding anti-phase signal data.
[0139] Specifically, when analyzing the spectrum of the pulse code signal, using the Hanning window is an effective means to reduce spectral leakage and improve the accuracy of spectral estimation. The steps are as follows:
[0140] 1. Signal preprocessing
[0141] Before processing the pulse code signal, the computer chip 325 applies the Hanning window function to the original signal for window function processing. This can be achieved through the following formula:
[0142]
[0143] where N is the length of the signal.
[0144] 2. Compute the spectrum
[0145] The computer chip 325 performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the windowed signal to compute the spectrum. The FFT can be performed by the following equation:
[0146]
[0147] where X[k] is the spectrum and x[n] is the time domain signal after windowing.
[0148] 3. Extract the frequency and amplitude
[0149] The computer chip 325 performs a spectral analysis of the spectrum based on the results of the FFT to extract the frequency and amplitude of the signal. The steps include:
[0150] First, the amplitude spectrum is computed: Then, the main frequency components and their corresponding amplitudes are found.
[0151] 4. Compute the anti-signal data
[0152] The computer chip 325 computes the anti-signal data: To obtain an anti-signal with the opposite phase, first determine the amplitude A and phase φ of a certain frequency f. The anti-signal can be represented as:
[0153] A 反 = A, φ 反 = φ + π.
[0154] This means that if the original signal has a complex representation at frequency f of X = Ae jφ ;
[0155] Thus, the anti-signal data can be represented as X 反 = Ae j(φ+π) = -Ae jφ .
[0156] 5. Apply the anti-signal data
[0157] The computer chip 325 generates signal generation instructions based on the anti-signal data, such that when the anti-signal in the signal generation instructions is superimposed with the noise signal, they will cancel each other out in the same frequency range, thereby achieving the effect of noise reduction or interference suppression.
[0158] In some embodiments, the computer chip 325 can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capability. The computer chip 325 can be a general-purpose processor, including a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), etc.; or a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), embedded ARM, or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic device, discrete hardware component. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor. The computer chip 325 can also be any conventional processor, etc., which is not limited in the present application.
[0159] In an embodiment, the signal generator 330 includes at least one sound player 331 and a power amplifier 332 corresponding to each target point.
[0160] The power amplifier 332 is configured to amplify the anti-phase signal data carried by the signal generation instruction to obtain a power amplified signal.
[0161] Specifically, the power amplifier 332 includes a power amplification circuit, which includes a signal input end and a signal output end. The signal input end of the power amplification circuit is electrically connected to the computer chip 325. The computer chip 325 includes a plurality of signal output ports for outputting the generated signal generation instruction. The signal input end of the power amplification circuit is electrically connected to the signal output port of the computer chip 325. The signal output end of the power amplification circuit is electrically connected to the sound player 331. The power amplification circuit is configured to amplify the anti-phase signal data generated by the computer chip 325, which has the same amplitude as the collected noise.
[0162] The sound player 331 is configured to emit a noise reduction signal having the same frequency and amplitude as the comprehensive noise signal but having an opposite phase according to the power amplified signal.
[0163] Specifically, after the computer chip 325 calculates the anti-phase signal data, it needs to be played out by the sound player 331 to interfere or interfere with the noise signal, so as to cancel part or all of the noise signal.
[0164] In some embodiments, the signal generator 330 outputs the anti-phase signal data inputted by the computer chip 325 to the sound players 331 after digital-to-analog conversion and signal amplification. The anti-phase signal data is mainly used to suppress the noise signal of the original environment, which is called active noise reduction. The principle of active noise reduction is shown in Figure 6
[0165] Therefore, the signal generator 330 can include a plurality of sound players 331, which form a one-to-one corresponding relationship with the sound sensors 311 in position, so that the noise reduction signals played by different sound players 331 can eliminate the corresponding noise signals.
[0166] Specifically, please continue as Figure 3 shown, since the noise of the fan assembly 200 is mainly generated when the fan blades 220 rotate, in a possible implementation, the plurality of sound players 331 includes a first speaker 331a and a second speaker 331b. The first speaker 331a is arranged on the blade 222 of the fan blade 220 and is configured to play an anti-phase noise reduction signal to the rotating blade 222. The second speaker 331b is arranged on the hub 221 of the fan blade 220 and is configured to play an anti-phase noise reduction signal to the rotating hub 221.
[0167] In this way, the first speaker 331a can play an anti-phase noise reduction signal to the rotating blade 222 according to the signal generation instruction issued by the computer chip 325, so as to offset the noise signal generated in the target area, thereby partially or completely eliminating the noise generated when the blade 222 of the fan blade 220 rotates. Similarly, the second speaker 331b can play an anti-phase noise reduction signal to the rotating hub 221 according to the signal generation instruction issued by the computer chip 325, so as to offset the noise signal generated in the target area, thereby partially or completely eliminating the noise generated when the hub 221 of the fan blade 220 rotates.
[0168] Please continue as Figure 3 shown, in addition to the hub 221 and the blade 222 generating relatively large noise when rotating, the rotor assembly 212 of the motor 210 also generates noise signals when cutting magnetic lines, and the friction between the rotor assembly 212 and the stator assembly 211 also generates noise signals. In some embodiments, the plurality of sound players 331 further includes a third speaker 331c. The third speaker 331c is arranged on the inner wall near the motor 210 in the cavity 101 and is configured to play an anti-phase noise reduction signal to the rotating motor 210.
[0169] Thus, the third loudspeaker 331c can play the anti-phase noise reduction signal to the running motor 210 according to the signal generation instruction from the computer chip 325, so as to offset the noise signal generated in the target area, thereby partially or completely eliminating the noise generated by the motor 210 of the fan assembly 200 when running.
[0170] In other embodiments, although the noise generated by the air flowing in the cavity 101 is reduced by improving the structure of the air shell 120 in the related art, the noise generated by the air flowing in the cavity 101 is still unavoidable, and therefore, in some embodiments, the plurality of sound players 331 further comprises a fourth loudspeaker 331d, which is arranged on the inner wall near the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the air duct center 106 in the cavity 101 respectively, and is configured to play an anti-phase noise reduction signal to the target area near the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the air duct center 106.
[0171] Thus, the fourth loudspeaker 331d can play the anti-phase noise reduction signal to the target area near the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the air duct center 106 respectively according to the signal generation instruction from the computer chip 325, so as to offset the noise signal generated in the target area, thereby eliminating the noise generated by the air inlet 102, the air outlet 103 and the air duct center 106 in the cavity 101 when the fan assembly 200 is running.
[0172] In other embodiments, the sound player 331 for each target area can further comprise a plurality of noise reduction loudspeakers, and at least two noise reduction loudspeakers have different orientations.
[0173] That is, when collecting the noise signal, the plurality of signal collectors 310 will collect the noise signals of different parts of the fan assembly 200, in order to offset different noise signals, different offset sound wave signals need to be generated and played according to the propagation direction of different noise signals, therefore, when playing, the propagation direction of the noise reduction signal for different noise signals will also be different, so the sound playing direction of the plurality of noise reduction loudspeakers is different, so as to eliminate the noise signals propagating from different directions.
[0174] In some embodiments, the number of noise reduction loudspeakers can be even, and the plurality of noise reduction loudspeakers are arranged in a circle, and the orientations of the opposite two noise reduction loudspeakers are away from each other.
[0175] Exemplarily, the number of the noise reduction speakers can be four or six. When the number of the noise reduction speakers is four, two adjacent noise reduction speakers are arranged at an angle of 90 degrees, and each of the noise reduction speakers faces outward. When the number of the noise reduction speakers is six, two adjacent noise reduction speakers are arranged at an angle of 60 degrees, and two opposite noise reduction speakers face each other in opposite directions. In this way, the plurality of noise reduction speakers can play noise reduction sound signals in all directions to better eliminate noise.
[0176] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The signal processor 320 further comprises an amplitude comparator 326, an input end of the amplitude comparator 326 being electrically connected with the analog-to-digital converter 324, and an output end of the amplitude comparator 326 being electrically connected with the computer chip 325.
[0177] The amplitude comparator 326 is configured to obtain the pulse coded signal, extract a noise amplitude sequence from the pulse coded signal, compare the noise amplitude sequence with a preset amplitude threshold, and obtain a first comparison result.
[0178] In some embodiments, the computer chip 325 is further configured to obtain the first comparison result, and when the first comparison result is that the noise amplitude sequence is greater than the amplitude threshold, perform phase inversion processing on the pulse coded signal to obtain anti-phase signal data, or when the first comparison result is that the noise amplitude sequence is less than or equal to the amplitude threshold, end the noise reduction procedure.
[0179] Specifically, the amplitude comparator 326, the analog-to-digital converter 324, and the computer chip 325 can constitute an automatic signal processing system 340 based on amplitude comparison and active noise reduction. The various parts of the automatic signal processing system 340 and the working process thereof will be analyzed in detail below.
[0180] 1. System component introduction
[0181] Analog-to-digital converter 324 (ADC): used to convert an analog signal (i.e., a comprehensive noise signal) into a digital signal for subsequent processing modules.
[0182] Amplitude comparator 326 (Amplitude Comparator): used to obtain a pulse coded signal from the analog-to-digital converter. The amplitude sequence of the noise is extracted therefrom and compared with a preset amplitude threshold. This process allows the system to determine whether the current noise intensity needs to take noise reduction measures.
[0183] Computer Chip: The first comparison result of the amplitude comparator output is received and corresponding logical operations are performed. According to the comparison result, it is determined whether to perform phase inversion processing on the pulse coded signal, so as to generate anti-phase signal data for active noise reduction.
[0184] 2. System workflow
[0185] Signal input and conversion: The noise signal is first converted into a digital pulse coded signal by an analog-to-digital converter 324 for use by the amplitude comparator 326.
[0186] Amplitude extraction and comparison: The amplitude comparator 326 extracts the amplitude sequence of the noise from the pulse coded signal. The extracted amplitude sequence is compared with the preset amplitude threshold value to generate the first comparison result: if the amplitude sequence is greater than the threshold value, noise reduction processing is required, and if the amplitude sequence is less than or equal to the threshold value, the noise reduction program is ended.
[0187] Anti-phase signal generation: If the first comparison result indicates that the noise amplitude sequence is greater than the amplitude threshold value, the computer chip 325 will start the phase inversion processing, including processing the pulse coded signal to generate anti-phase signal data. The anti-phase signal data is used for active noise reduction to cancel the original noise signal.
[0188] Program end: If the first comparison result shows that the noise amplitude sequence is less than or equal to the set amplitude threshold value, the noise reduction program will be ended and the signal processing will be stopped.
[0189] Among them, the processing logic of the automatic signal processing system 340 is that as long as the fan noise does not affect the user experience and use, the automatic signal processing system 340 can not process the fan noise, which is more conducive to energy saving of the noise reduction fan 10, especially in the case that the current power of the noise reduction fan 10 is too low, the standby time can be further prolonged. Therefore, the automatic signal processing system 340 can determine whether to reduce the fan noise according to the amplitude value of the current noise signal. If the current fan noise is not enough to affect the user experience and use, active noise reduction is not performed, otherwise active noise reduction is performed.
[0190] 3. System function
[0191] Automatic control: The automatic signal processing system 340 effectively generates an automatic response program, which can adjust the noise reduction strategy according to the real-time changes of the environmental noise.
[0192] Precise noise reduction: Through amplitude comparison and phase inversion technology, the active noise reduction improves the working efficiency of the noise reduction fan 10 under different noise conditions.
[0193] 4. System settings
[0194] Threshold setting: It is crucial to set a suitable amplitude threshold for the automated signal processing system 340. If the threshold is set too high, it may result in unnecessary noise reduction; if the threshold is set too low, it may result in frequent noise reduction and unnecessary processing delay.
[0195] Delay impact: The processing delay of the automated signal processing system 340 on the signal may affect the noise reduction effect, so the automated signal processing system 340 can access the cloud to optimize the signal processing speed to ensure real-time performance.
[0196] The technical effect of the above scheme is that the combination of signal processing and intelligent control technology by the automated signal processing system can adapt to complex and variable noise environments.
[0197] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 The signal processor 320 further includes a decibel comparator 327, the input end of which is electrically connected with the signal collector 310, and the output end of which is electrically connected with the computer chip 325.
[0198] The decibel comparator 327 is configured to obtain the residual noise signal collected by the signal collector 310 after the noise reduction signal is sent by the signal generator 330, and extract the corresponding noise decibel value from the residual noise signal, so as to compare the noise decibel value with the preset decibel threshold to obtain a second comparison result.
[0199] In some embodiments, the computer chip 325 is further configured to obtain the second comparison result, and when the second comparison result is that the noise decibel value is greater than the decibel threshold, the motor 210 of the fan assembly 200 is subjected to speed reduction processing, or when the second comparison result is that the noise decibel value is less than or equal to the decibel threshold, the noise reduction program is ended.
[0200] Specifically, in order to further accurately determine the influence of fan noise on user use and experience, the decibel value of the fan noise can also be obtained to determine whether the fan is in a normal operating state through the decibel value of the fan noise, further avoiding the problem of user experience decline caused by fan abnormalities.
[0201] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned automated signal processing system 340 can further include a decibel comparator 327, thereby further perfecting the active noise reduction technology. The various parts of the automated signal processing system 340 and its working process will be analyzed in detail below.
[0202] 1. System component introduction
[0203] Signal Collector: Collects residual noise signals in real-time after the noise reduction signal is released by the signal generator.
[0204] Decibel Comparator: Receives noise signals from the Signal Collector, extracts corresponding decibel values, and compares them with preset decibel thresholds to generate a second comparison result.
[0205] Computer Chip: Receives the second comparison result from the Decibel Comparator, executes control logic to adjust the speed of the fan motor 210, and achieves further noise reduction.
[0206] 2. System Workflow
[0207] Signal Collection: After the signal generator 330 releases the noise reduction signal, the signal collector 310 begins real-time monitoring of residual noise in the environment.
[0208] Decibel Extraction and Comparison: The Decibel Comparator 327 extracts the decibel value of the noise from the collected signal, and compares the extracted decibel value with the preset decibel threshold to output a second comparison result. If the decibel value is greater than the threshold, it indicates that the residual noise is still strong, and the power or speed of the device producing noise needs to be reduced. If the decibel value is less than or equal to the threshold, it indicates that the noise has been reduced to an acceptable level, and the noise reduction program can be ended.
[0209] Fan Motor Control: If the second comparison result indicates that the noise decibel value is greater than the decibel threshold, the computer chip 325 will send a control signal to reduce the speed of the motor 210 of the fan assembly 200. This process can effectively reduce the noise generated by the motor operation.
[0210] Program End: If the second comparison result shows that the noise decibel value is less than or equal to the decibel threshold, the program will end and no further noise processing will be performed.
[0211] 3. System Function
[0212] Dynamic Adjustment: The automated signal processing system 340 can dynamically adjust the speed of the fan motor 210 according to the changes in real-time residual noise, ensuring the lowest volume under various environmental conditions.
[0213] Analog Feedback: Through comparison and real-time feedback, the automated signal processing system 340 can effectively manage and control the response of different noise sources, enhancing the effectiveness of active noise reduction.
[0214] 4. System Settings
[0215] Decibel threshold setting: the reasonable decibel threshold setting of the automatic signal processing system 340 is the key to success. Too high threshold may result in fan speed reduction insensitive, and too low may not effectively respond to the actual noise environment.
[0216] Fan response time: the computer chip 325 needs to react as quickly as possible to the motor 210 control to adapt to the instantaneous changes in the environmental noise, so as to achieve timely noise reduction effect.
[0217] The technical effect of the above scheme is that by combining intelligent monitoring, real-time feedback and automatic control technology, the automatic signal processing system 340 can effectively respond to environmental noise and provide a more comfortable user experience.
[0218] In some embodiments, to further improve energy saving effect, in the case that the automatic signal processing system 340 judges that the decibel value of the residual noise in the environment is not less than the preset decibel value, the fan noise can not be reduced. In specific application process, the automatic signal processing system 340 can detect the current use scene of the noise reduction fan 10, if its background noise (including user voice) is large, it will not start noise reduction, because starting noise reduction will definitely consume more power, so this way can further reduce the power consumption of the mobile phone.
[0219] In other embodiments, to further ensure the stable operation of the noise reduction fan 10 in the case of low power, the automatic signal processing system 340 can also judge whether the current power of the noise reduction fan 10 is not less than the preset power; if yes, start the built-in motor 210 of the noise reduction fan 10, otherwise, issue an alarm prompt of low power. Therefore, in the case that the power is lower than the preset power, the automatic signal processing system 340 controls not to start the fan, and can prompt the user for a reminder.
[0220] In an implementation form of the present application, the step of the automatic signal processing system 340 performing noise reduction on the fan noise according to the residual signal can comprise: when the noise signal contains a user voice signal, using a preset noise recognition model to recognize the fan noise to obtain a voice-recognized noise signal; and performing noise reduction on the voice-recognized noise signal. For example, in the user's use process, there are often interactions between multiple users, and the user needs to use voice. In order to further improve the recognition of the fan noise and avoid eliminating the user's voice information, the fan noise needs to be recognized. Specifically, the noise recognition model is established by: determining input positive samples and negative samples, wherein the positive samples are a noise training set and the negative samples are a voice training set, using a PLDA model for training to obtain an average error, and determining the noise recognition model as usable when the average error is less than a preset error. The PLDA model is trained by the positive samples and the negative samples. When the model maturity reaches the standard, the automatic signal processing system 340 recognizes the fan noise through the noise recognition model, which can accurately determine the fan noise and reduce the error of eliminating the user voice as the fan noise, thereby further improving the accuracy of fan noise elimination and improving the user experience.
[0221] The signal collector 310 picks up the residual noise after suppression, which is an analog signal. Then the signal processor 320 performs power amplification on the picked-up analog noise signal, filters out high-frequency components in the signal using a low-pass filter, and then inputs the signal after filtering out the high frequency into the automatic signal processing system 340 after analog-digital conversion. This process generates low-frequency audio data, which is provided to the automatic signal processing system 340 for further learning and evaluation of the active noise reduction effect.
[0222] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The signal processor 320 further comprises an error collection part 328 arranged in the cavity 101 and electrically connected with the computer chip 325, which is used to calculate the error between the noise signal and the noise reduction signal to obtain error signal data, and feed the error signal data back to the computer chip 325 to calibrate the noise reduction signal through the computer chip 325.
[0223] The error collection part 328 is configured to detect the error between the noise signal collected by the signal collector 310 and the noise reduction signal played by the signal generator 330.
[0224] Specifically, to improve the noise reduction effect of the noise reduction fan 10, the noise reduction fan 10 is also provided with an error collection part 328 for detecting the error between the noise signal collected by the signal collector 310 and the noise reduction wave signal played by the signal generator 330, and feeding back to the computer chip 325 in the signal processor 320 to calibrate the noise reduction signal, so as to make the counter signal data in the signal generation instruction generated by the computer chip 325 more in line with the noise reduction requirements.
[0225] In some embodiments, the error collection part 328 mentioned above and the signal collector 310, the signal generator 330 and the computer chip 325 can constitute a signal feedback control system 350 based on a signal feedback control mechanism, which is used to improve the accuracy and effect of the noise reduction system. The various parts of the signal feedback control system 350 and its working process will be analyzed in detail below.
[0226] 1. System components
[0227] Error collection part 328 (Error Collector): used to calculate the error between the two in real time, that is, the difference between the actual noise signal and the noise reduction signal generated by the signal processor, generate error signal data and feedback to the signal processor 320.
[0228] 2. System workflow
[0229] Signal input: noise signal is captured and input to the computer chip 325 for analysis and processing.
[0230] Generate noise reduction signal: the computer chip 325 generates a noise reduction signal based on the processed data, aiming to intervene and reduce the noise signal.
[0231] Error calculation: the error collection part 328 receives the noise signal and the noise reduction signal, and calculates the error signal data through mathematical algorithms (such as difference or other error evaluation methods). The following formula can be used: error signal data = noise signal - noise reduction signal.
[0232] Data feedback: the calculated error signal data is fed back to the computer chip 325, providing real-time information about the noise reduction effect.
[0233] Signal calibration: the computer chip 325 calibrates the noise reduction signal according to the feedback error signal data. The amplitude, phase or frequency of the noise reduction signal can be adjusted to better combat the noise signal. The calibrated noise reduction signal is output again to improve the noise reduction performance of the system.
[0234] 3. System functions
[0235] Real-time feedback: The signal feedback control system 350 can quickly respond to the noise reduction effect through real-time feedback of the error collection unit 328, thereby making necessary adjustments to improve noise reduction accuracy.
[0236] Adaptive calibration: The signal processor 320 can dynamically adjust the noise reduction signal according to the real-time calculated error signal, adapt to different noise environments, and improve the adaptability and effect of active noise reduction.
[0237] 4. System settings
[0238] Calculation delay: The delay of the error calculation and feedback system 350 may affect the noise reduction effect. Therefore, the response time can be reduced by optimizing the algorithm.
[0239] Noise mode settings: Different noise signals may require different noise reduction strategies, so the signal processor 320 can be designed to flexibly handle multiple noise modes.
[0240] Environmental adaptability settings: Ensure that the signal feedback control system 350 maintains effective noise reduction function under different environmental conditions (such as different types of noise, background changes, etc.).
[0241] The technical effects of the above technical solutions are: by designing a feedback control system, using the cooperative work of the error collection unit and the computer chip, the performance and flexibility of the active noise reduction system can be greatly improved. The design effectively ensures the real-time and accuracy of the noise reduction signal, and improves the user experience.
[0242] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 11 The portable active noise reduction fan 10 also includes a memory 400 disposed in the cavity 101 for storing a pre-set speed and noise comparison table 410 and a noise reduction signal database 420. The speed and noise comparison table 410 is used to represent the mapping relationship between the speed of the motor 210 in the fan assembly 200 and the corresponding noise signal generated by the fan assembly 200. The noise reduction signal database 420 is used to store noise reduction signals that are opposite in phase, the same in frequency and amplitude, and match a variety of pre-set noise signals.
[0243] The noise reduction assembly 300 is also used to obtain the real-time speed of the motor 210 when the fan assembly 200 is running, and determine the target noise signal that matches the real-time speed according to the speed and noise comparison table 410, and determine the target noise reduction signal that matches the target noise signal from the noise reduction signal database 420, to perform active noise control on the fan assembly 200 based on the target noise reduction signal.
[0244] In some embodiments, the memory 400 can be used to store software programs and various data. The memory 400 can mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area can store an operating system, application programs required by at least one function (such as a sound playing function), etc.; and the data storage area can store data (such as audio data) created according to the use of the noise reduction fan 10, etc. In addition, the memory 400 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, for example, at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state memory device.
[0245] According to embodiments of the present application, the signal collector 310 can be one or more devices for collecting noise-related signals. In the present application, the signal collector 310 can acquire noise-related signals through both the sound sensor 311 and the memory 400. The signal collector 310 is a device placed in a noise control target area around the motor 210 to collect noise in real time, and the memory 400 is a storage device pre-stored with fan 10 noise characteristic signals.
[0246] When the signal collector 310 acquires noise signals through the sound sensor 311, the sound sensor 311 transmits the acquired noise signals back to the signal processor 320, which analyzes the acquired noise signals and transmits them to the signal generator 330. Alternatively, the sound sensor 311 can transmit the acquired noise signals directly to the memory 400 without passing through the signal processor 320, and the memory 400 can acquire target noise reduction signals through the noise reduction signal database 420. The sound sensor 311 can transmit noise-related signals through wireless transmission or wired transmission, and the memory 400 can simultaneously receive or output multiple noise signals.
[0247] In an embodiment, when the signal collector 310 acquires noise signals through the memory 400, the signal collector 310 first acquires the real-time speed of the motor 210, and then transmits the real-time speed to the memory 400 to determine the target noise signal matching the real-time speed from the speed-noise correlation table 410. Then, the signal collector 310 determines the target noise reduction signal matching the target noise signal from the noise reduction signal database 420, and finally transmits the target noise reduction signal to the sound player 331 to play the target noise reduction signal and cancel the target noise signal.
[0248] According to the embodiments of the present application, the sound player 331 can include multiple loudspeakers. There are many kinds of loudspeakers, which are classified by transduction mechanism and structure into moving-coil (dynamic), moving-iron (electrodynamic), moving-capacitor (electrostatic), moving-piezoelectric (crystal or ceramic), moving-magnetic (reeds), moving-ion, and moving-air (pneumatic) loudspeakers. The multiple loudspeakers of the sound player 331 can be installed together on the nacelle and / or the dome and / or the tower in different directions and at different angles to form multiple loudspeaker assemblies, and the fixed parts of the loudspeaker assemblies are built into the cavity 101. Each loudspeaker can effectively control a fan-shaped area to cancel noise in the noise control target area. According to the embodiments of the present application, for example, four loudspeaker assemblies are installed on both sides of the nacelle and both sides of the dome, respectively, each loudspeaker assembly includes three loudspeakers, and each loudspeaker can effectively control a fan-shaped area with a range of 30 degrees. Therefore, each loudspeaker assembly covers an area with a range of 90 degrees, and the four loudspeaker assemblies can cover the noise control area around the nacelle in all directions. In addition, the multiple loudspeakers of the sound player 331 can also be fixed on the steering gimbal of the motor 210. The steering gimbal refers to a support device for installing and fixing multiple loudspeakers and controlling the rotation direction of the multiple loudspeakers. The steering gimbal includes a multi-axis gimbal and a single-axis gimbal, and is usually embedded on the nacelle and / or the dome and / or the tower to drive the multiple loudspeakers to rotate to comprehensively cover the noise control target area around the motor 210. The noise control target area is an area in which the influence of the noise of the motor 210 needs to be reduced.
[0249] In other embodiments, the computer chip 325 in the noise reduction assembly 300 can also obtain predetermined filter parameters required to reduce or eliminate the target noise signal from the memory 400 when the signal collector 310 is triggered, and pre-configure the fan assembly 200 according to the filter parameters.
[0250] In the present embodiment, the signal collector 310 triggers the corresponding filter to perform real-time filtering processing on the noise signal in response to the pre-configuration of the computer chip 325, so as to reduce or eliminate the amplitude of the specific noise signal frequency band contained in the noise signal, thereby obtaining the noise-reduced audio signal. In the present embodiment, the noise-reduced audio signal is an audio pulse code modulation signal.
[0251] Specifically, the analog-to-digital converter 324 in the noise reduction assembly 300 receives the target noise signal matched out by the memory 400 and performs analog-to-digital conversion to obtain a corresponding original audio pulse code modulation signal, and sends the original audio pulse code modulation signal to the computer chip 325. The computer chip 325 analyzes the original audio pulse code modulation signal in the frequency domain, and determines the filter parameters corresponding to the target noise signal according to the analysis result.
