[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 6 The air outlet silencer of this utility model includes a silencer frame 1, a silencer plate 2, a guide plate 3, and a first support plate 4.

[0037] The muffler frame 1 has two side openings, one for the air inlet and the other for the air outlet. In this embodiment, the muffler frame 1 is a rectangular frame, and the size of the frame can be adjusted according to the actual size of the air outlet of the equipment cabinet. The shape of the frame can also be adjusted according to the air outlet of the equipment cabinet. The muffler frame 1 can also be circular.

[0038] The sound-absorbing sheets 2 are arranged in the muffler frame 1 in a spaced manner. More specifically, the sound-absorbing sheets 2 are arranged in the muffler frame 1 in a uniform and vertical manner to the direction of the gas outlet. Cavities are formed between the sound-absorbing sheets 2 and the muffler frame 1 and between adjacent sound-absorbing sheets 2, which form channels for the airflow to pass through.

[0039] The sound-absorbing sheets 2 in this embodiment include two sound-absorbing sheet perforated plates 201 and porous sound-absorbing materials 202 filled between the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plates 201. The porous sound-absorbing materials 202 have a large number of interconnected micropores from the surface to the inside, and the air passing through the micropores achieves the sound-absorbing effect through viscous dissipation. The selection of the porous sound-absorbing materials 202 can be porous sponge, aluminum silicate cotton, mineral wool, rock wool, centrifugal resin glass wool, or glass fiber needle felt. Other porous materials that have good sound-absorbing effect can also be used adaptively.

[0040] In this embodiment, a deflector 3 is also provided, which is arranged at the air inlet of the muffler frame 1 and connected with the sound-absorbing sheets 2. The deflector 3 and the sound-absorbing sheets 2 can be connected by hinging or other fixed connection, as long as they do not shift or fall off during cooperation.

[0041] The surface of the deflector 3 in this embodiment is formed with a streamline curved surface for reducing wind resistance, and the cross section is an arc with a radius of 50 mm. The design of the deflector 3 facilitates the airflow into the muffler and reduces the noise generated by airflow friction. When the airflow impacts the arc-shaped deflector, it will produce a series of differences in flow characteristics and aerodynamic characteristics compared to directly impacting the end face of the sound-absorbing sheet 2. Specifically, when the airflow directly impacts the sound-absorbing sheet 2, due to its flat edge, the airflow is prone to flow separation when impacting the end face, forming a vortex region, which may cause greater resistance and pulsating flow. The curved surface of the arc-shaped deflector can better guide the airflow, reduce flow separation, and the airflow flows relatively smoothly along the curved surface, thereby reducing resistance.

[0042] In this embodiment, in addition to the perforated plate on the sound-absorbing sheet 2, a frame perforated plate 5 is also provided on the inner side of the muffler frame 1. The frame perforated plate 5 is arranged along the side wall of the muffler frame 1, and the muffler frame 1 and the frame perforated plate 5 are also filled with the porous sound-absorbing material 202. The hole diameter size on the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plate 201 is consistent with the hole diameter size and porosity on the frame perforated plate 5. The hole diameter size is generally controlled at 3 mm, and the porosity is controlled at 23%. The specific hole diameter size and porosity size on the perforated plate can be reasonably adjusted according to actual conditions or needs.

[0043] In this embodiment, the spacing between the two adjacent sound-absorbing sheets 2 and the spacing between the sound-absorbing sheet 2 and the frame perforated plate 5 are also consistent, and the spacing size is controlled at 20 mm.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plate 201 and the porous sound-absorbing material 202 are integrated into the sound-absorbing sheet 2, and the frame perforated plate 5 is provided on the side wall of the muffler frame 1 at the same time. The porous sound-absorbing material 202 is also filled between the frame and the perforated plate, and the hole diameter size and porosity size on the frame perforated plate 5 and the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plate 201 are consistent. The spacing size of the air inlet cavity is also consistent, which aims to maximize the sound-absorbing performance and ensure the sound-absorbing and noise-reducing effect through the above settings.

[0045] In this embodiment, a rubber sealing strip 7 is also provided, which is arranged at the connection between the air outlet muffler and the equipment cabinet body, thereby forming a circle of elastic connection. The rubber is bonded by taking advantage of the strong bonding strength of rubber and metal surface, and the damping vibration reduction effect is used to prevent the generation of structural secondary noise.

[0046] In addition, in order to avoid deformation of the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plate 201 during operation, in this embodiment, a first support plate 4 is arranged between the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plates 201 in each sound-absorbing sheet 2, which is used to fixedly connect the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plates 201 on both sides. The number of the first support plate 4 can be reasonably arranged according to needs, as long as the stability of the sound-absorbing sheet perforated plate 201 is ensured.

[0047] Similarly, in order to avoid deformation between the muffler frame 1 and the frame perforated plate 5 due to airflow impact, a second support plate 6 is arranged between the muffler frame 1 and the frame perforated plate 5 in this embodiment, which is used to fixedly connect the muffler frame 1 and the frame perforated plate 5. The arrangement of the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 6 provides corresponding stability for the air outlet muffler.

[0048] In this embodiment, the disclosed air outlet muffler is also simulated for acoustic performance, and specific structural parameters are as follows: the length of the muffler frame is 0.05 m, the length along the sound wave propagation direction is 0.4 m; the thickness of the two sound-absorbing sheets is 0.1 m, the sheet distance is 0.02 m, and the length along the sound wave propagation direction is 0.4 m; the porous sound-absorbing material is 16K sound-absorbing cotton with a thickness of 50 mm or 100 mm; the thickness of the perforated plate is 0.5 mm, the hole diameter is 3 mm, and the porosity is 23%.

[0049] The three-dimensional model of the muffler is modeled in COMSOL, the inlet and outlet of the muffler are simulated by using a port boundary condition, the transmission loss in the frequency range of 125 Hz to 1600 Hz is mainly output, and the transmission loss is expressed in the form of 1 / 3 octave band, as shown in the following formula: Figure 7 The average transmission loss of the structure in the range of 125 to 1600 Hz is 20 dB.

[0050] In summary, the air outlet muffler disclosed in the utility model has the advantages that the sound-absorbing sheet 2 is combined with the perforated plate 201 and the porous sound-absorbing material 202, the viscous loss of sound waves can be increased, the middle and high frequency noise can be effectively absorbed, and excellent noise reduction effect can be achieved.

[0051] Secondly, the equipment cabinet and the air outlet muffler are connected by using the rubber sealing strip 7, the rubber material has large damping and strong absorption of mechanical energy, and can effectively suppress the secondary vibration noise of the structure.

[0052] In addition, the arc-shaped guide plate design can effectively reduce the resistance of airflow when entering the muffler, reduce the regenerative noise generated by airflow impact, guide the airflow to be uniformly distributed to each part of the muffler, thereby optimizing the airflow distribution, ensuring that the sound-absorbing material can fully play its sound-absorbing performance, and improving the aerodynamic performance and adapting to different airflow conditions.

[0053] In the utility model, the weight of the muffler is effectively reduced by the design of the sheet type muffler structure and the application of light materials, and the installation and use are facilitated.

[0054] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the utility model, the purpose is to enable people skilled in the art to understand the content of the utility model and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the utility model, and equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the utility model shall be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
