Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxygen generator air intake technology, specifically an air intake filter silencer box. Background Technology

[0002] Most oxygen concentrators use molecular sieves to separate nitrogen and oxygen. When the compressor is working, both the intake and exhaust processes generate significant noise, failing to provide a quiet and comfortable environment for users undergoing oxygen therapy or health maintenance. While silencers are installed on the nitrogen exhaust pipe to reduce exhaust noise, and traditionally, sound-absorbing cotton is used inside the oxygen concentrator to reduce compressor noise, high-power oxygen concentrators, due to their large intake volume, short intake time, and limited volume of the intake and compressor equipment, experience higher airflow velocity and density during intake. This results in intake impact and turbulence, generating significant noise. Conventional intake silencers are insufficient to meet the increasing noise reduction requirements. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an air intake filter silencer box, which solves the problem that the existing air intake silencer boxes in oxygen concentrators have a single silencer method, limited noise reduction effect, and are difficult to meet the needs of high noise reduction application scenarios.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An air intake filter silencer box includes a box body and a cover body. A silencer block is arranged in the inner cavity of the cover body. An extension cavity is provided on the box body, and an air inlet communicating with the box body is opened in the extension cavity. Several short silencer cavities and one long silencer cavity are arranged adjacently in the inner cavity of the box body. The short silencer cavities and the long silencer cavity are connected sequentially through staggered connecting holes. An air outlet is opened on the side wall of the long silencer cavity. Several silencer blocks are respectively fixedly installed on the end faces of the cover body and the box body. The silencer blocks are matched one-to-one with the short silencer cavities, the long silencer cavity, and the extension cavity. A silencer channel is arranged between the upper and lower silencer blocks. Airflow entering from the air inlet flows along the silencer channel within the silencer cavity and exits from the air outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the box body and the cover body are provided with fixing ears on opposite sides. The box body and the cover body are fixedly connected by connecting countersunk holes and fixing screws. The box body is provided with a mating seat that matches the connecting countersunk holes. The box body and the cover body are fixedly connected to the compressor housing by fixing ears and screws.

[0009] Preferably, snap-fit ​​protrusions are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the extension cavity near the air inlet, and the air inlet is connected to a filter box by the snap-fit ​​protrusions, so that air enters the extension cavity after being filtered by the filter box.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing groove is continuously arranged along the edge of the short silencing cavity and the long silencing cavity on the end face of the box body, and a sealing gasket is arranged in the sealing groove when the cover and the box body are installed and closed.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This intake filter muffler box, through the design of several short and long muffler chambers, can effectively extend the airflow distance and better consume the kinetic energy of the airflow, thus greatly reducing the airflow impact at the outlet. At the same time, because the entire muffler box is filled with muffler blocks to form a muffler channel, it can effectively reduce the intake impact and prevent the formation of intake turbulence, while absorbing intake noise, thus greatly reducing the noise at the outlet and enhancing the overall noise reduction capability of the intake muffler box.

The inner cavity of the cover body is provided with silencer blocks 12. The box body 1 is provided with an extension cavity 5. The extension cavity 5 is provided with an air inlet 6 communicating with the box body 1. The inner cavity of the box body 1 is provided with several short silencer cavities 10 and one long silencer cavity 16 arranged adjacently. The short silencer cavities 10 and the long silencer cavity 16 are connected sequentially through staggered connecting holes 11. The side wall of the long silencer cavity 16 is provided with an air outlet 15. Several silencer blocks 12 are respectively fixedly arranged on the end faces of the cover body 2 and the box body 1. The silencer blocks 12 are matched with the short silencer cavities 10, the long silencer cavity 16 and the extension cavity 5. A silencer channel 17 is arranged between the upper and lower silencer blocks 12. The airflow entering from the air inlet 6 is discharged from the air outlet 15 along the silencer channel 17 in the silencer cavity.

[0022] This invention, through the arrangement of several short silencing cavities 10 and long silencing cavities 16, can effectively extend the airflow distance and better consume the kinetic energy of the airflow, thus greatly reducing the airflow impact at the outlet 15. At the same time, since the entire silencing box is filled with silencing blocks 12 to form a silencing channel 17, it can effectively reduce the intake air impact and prevent the formation of intake vortices, while also absorbing intake noise, thus greatly reducing the noise at the outlet 15 and enhancing the overall noise reduction capability of the intake silencing box.

[0023] In this embodiment, fixing ears 3 are arranged on the opposite sides of the box body 1 and the cover body 2. The box body 1 and the cover body 2 are fixedly connected by connecting countersunk holes 4 and fixing screws. The box body 1 is provided with a mating seat 8 that matches the connecting countersunk holes 4. The box body 1 and the cover body 2 are fixedly connected to the compressor housing 14 by fixing ears 3 and screws. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, the fixed lug 3 facilitates the use of screws to securely connect the entire silencer box to the compressor housing 14; the countersunk hole 4 and mating seat 8 facilitate the installation stability between the box body 1 and the cover body 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, snap-fit ​​protrusions 7 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the extension cavity 5 near the air inlet 6. The air inlet 6 is connected to the filter box 13 by snap-fit ​​protrusions 7, and the air enters the extension cavity 5 after being filtered by the filter box 13. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 7 allows for quick and easy removal of the filter box 13 for cleaning or replacement; the filter box 13 effectively filters the intake air.

[0025] In this embodiment, sealing grooves 9 are continuously arranged along the edges of the short silencing cavity 10 and the long silencing cavity 16 on the end face of the box body 1. When the cover 2 and the box body 1 are installed and closed, a sealing gasket is filled in the sealing grooves 9. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, the sealing groove 9 and sealing gasket can effectively ensure the sealing performance of the box body 1 and the cover 2 when the entire silencer box is silencing air, thus avoiding the situation where the noise increases due to air leakage during the air intake process.
