[0042] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a generator set 200, which includes a base 210, a power component 220, and a noise-reducing air box 100. The noise-reducing air box 100 is fitted onto the base 210, and both the noise-reducing air box 100 and the power component 220 are connected to the base 210. In this embodiment, the noise-reducing air box 100 has a housing 110 and a filter mesh 120. The housing 110 is provided with a chamber 101 and an opening. During the closing process, the power component 220 can enter the chamber 101 through the opening, thereby allowing the power component 220 to be housed within the chamber 101.

[0045] The housing 110 is also provided with an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112, both of which are connected to the chamber 101; allowing outside air to enter the chamber 101 through the air inlet 111, thereby dissipating heat from the power component 220 inside the chamber 101; the hot air after heat exchange with the power component 220 is discharged through the air outlet 112.

[0046] Both the air inlet 111 and the air outlet 112 are equipped with filter meshes 120 to prevent large debris from entering the chamber 101 and damaging the power components 220 inside the chamber 101.

[0047] In this embodiment, the edge of the air inlet 111 is provided with an arc guide surface 113. This embodiment can use the arc guide surface 113 to guide the external gas into the chamber 101; thereby facilitating the entry of external gas into the chamber 101 and reducing the wind resistance of the air intake; thus, even with a smaller number of air inlets 111 or a smaller area of ​​the air inlets 111, heat dissipation of the power component 220 can still be guaranteed; thereby reducing noise and improving the noise reduction effect.

[0048] Understandably, for example, the prior art has N air inlets, while this embodiment has M air inlets 111. Since the edges of the air inlets 111 in this embodiment are provided with arc guide surfaces 113, M is less than N when the gas flow rate is the same in the prior art and this embodiment. Since the number of air inlets 111 in this embodiment is less than that in the prior art, the noise leakage generated during the operation of the power component 220 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.

[0049] Similarly, since the edge of the air inlet 111 in this embodiment is provided with an arc guide surface 113, the area of ​​the air inlet 111 in this embodiment can be smaller than that of the prior art when the gas flow rate is the same, thereby effectively reducing the noise leakage generated during the operation of the power component 220 and improving the noise reduction effect.

[0050] Based on the above, the arc-shaped guide surface 113 in this embodiment includes an arc-shaped portion 1131 and a mounting portion 1132. The mounting portion 1132 is connected to the arc-shaped portion 1131 and also to the filter mesh 120. The mounting portion 1132 is close to the chamber 101, while the arc-shaped portion 1131 extends outward from the mounting portion 1132, thereby enabling the arc-shaped portion 1131 to guide outside air to move to the mounting portion 1132, and thus allowing air to enter the chamber 101 from the filter mesh 120 of the mounting portion 1132.

[0051] Understandably, the mounting section 1132 is a straight surface, thereby providing more uniform support and a more stable structure, making the connection between the housing 110 and the filter mesh 120 more stable.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, air inlets 111 are provided on both opposite sides of the housing 110, and the number of air inlets 111 on each side can be adjusted according to the actual situation to increase the gas flow and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first guide slope 114 is provided at the end of the housing 110 near the air inlet 111. The first guide slope 114 is used to guide the outside air to flow towards the arc guide surface 113. Understandably, under the guidance of the first guide slope 114, the outside air can flow along the first guide slope 114 to the arc-shaped portion 1131 of the arc guide surface 113. Subsequently, since the arc-shaped portion 1131 extends outward from the mounting portion 1132, the gas can move from the first guide slope 114 to the mounting portion 1132 under the guidance of the arc-shaped portion 1131. Finally, the gas enters the chamber 101 through the filter mesh 120 at the air inlet 111.

[0054] As described above, a second guide ramp 115 is provided at the end of the housing 110 near the air outlet 112. The second guide ramp 115 is used to guide gas from the chamber 101 to the outside. Understandably, after entering the chamber 101, the gas comes into contact with the power component 220 inside the chamber 101, thereby carrying away the heat from the power component 220 and dissipating heat from it. The gas carrying heat, i.e., hot air, flows to the air outlet 112 and is discharged from there. In this embodiment, by providing the second guide ramp 115, the hot air can flow smoothly to the second guide ramp 115, avoiding hot air backflow and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0055] It should be noted that in this embodiment, air inlets 111 are provided on both opposite sides of the housing 110. Therefore, two first guide ramps 114 are also provided to promote airflow, allowing gas to flow quickly through the first guide ramps 114 and the arc guide surface 113, and then enter the chamber 101. This ensures efficient heat dissipation even with a relatively small number of air inlets 111; the reduced number of air inlets 111 also reduces noise, thereby improving noise reduction.

[0056] To ensure the aesthetics of the noise reduction fan box 100, the first guide slope 114 and the second guide slope 115 are symmetrically arranged. Therefore, in this embodiment, there are also two second guide slopes 115.

[0057] Further, please refer to Figures 1-8 In this embodiment, the noise reduction air box 100 also includes a first intermediate partition 130 and a second intermediate partition 140. The first intermediate partition 130 and the second intermediate partition 140 are both located inside the chamber 101 and are connected to the inner wall of the box body 110. Furthermore, since the first intermediate partition 130 and the second intermediate partition 140 are provided inside the chamber 101, the chamber 101 is divided into three parts that are connected in sequence: a control chamber 102, a power chamber 103, and an exhaust chamber 104; wherein, the control chamber 102 is connected to the air inlet 111, and the exhaust chamber 104 is connected to the air outlet 112.

[0058] Understandably, the gas enters the control chamber 102 from the air inlet 111, then flows through the power chamber 103 and the exhaust chamber 104 in sequence, and finally flows out from the air outlet 112.

[0059] It should be noted that the power assembly 220 includes a controller 222, an engine 223, and an exhaust fan 224; the controller 222, engine 223, and exhaust fan 224 are all connected to the base 210. After the housing 110 is closed to the base 210, the controller 222 and engine 223 are separated by the first intermediate partition 130, and the engine 223 and exhaust fan 224 are separated by the second intermediate partition 140, so that the controller 222 is located in the control chamber 102, the engine 223 is located in the power chamber 103, and the exhaust fan 224 is located in the exhaust chamber 104.

[0060] According to the above, in this embodiment, the noise reduction box 100 also includes a muffler 150. The muffler 150 is located in the power cavity 103 and is connected to the inner wall of the box body 110. The power cavity 103 contains an engine 223. The engine 223, as a vibration source, will generate a large amount of noise. Therefore, the muffler 150 is placed in the power cavity 103 to improve the noise reduction effect.

[0061] Furthermore, the silencer 150 is located near the air inlet 111 to reduce noise generated during air intake. It should be noted that since air inlets 111 are provided on both opposite sides of the housing 110, and the silencer 150 is connected to the two side walls on both sides, the contact area between the flowing gas and the silencer 150 is increased, thereby improving the noise reduction effect.

[0062] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the silencer 150 is spaced apart from the first intermediate partition 130, that is, the silencer 150 is close to the top wall of the housing 110, while the first intermediate partition 130 is in contact with the base 210, thereby avoiding the first intermediate partition 130 from blocking the silencer 150, so that the silencer 150 can fully contact the flowing gas, thereby reducing noise and improving the noise reduction effect.

[0063] Understandably, the muffler 150 includes multiple parallel and spaced-apart sound-absorbing plates that reduce noise by absorbing or isolating sound waves.

[0064] Based on the above, the second intermediate partition 140 is located near the air outlet 112 and connected to the side wall where the air outlet 112 is located. It should be noted that after the gas flows through the power chamber 103, it absorbs the heat from the engine 223. Therefore, the gas temperature in the exhaust chamber 104 is relatively high. The high-temperature gas will flow upward. Therefore, the air outlet 112 is located on the top wall of the housing 110 to facilitate the exhaust of hot air; hence, the second intermediate partition 140 is connected to the top wall of the housing 110.

[0065] During the process of hot air being discharged from the air outlet 112, some hot air will flow back. In this embodiment, a second intermediate partition 140 is provided to block the backflow of hot air, thereby preventing the hot air from re-entering the power chamber 103 and improving the heat dissipation effect. That is, the second intermediate partition 140 can block the air from entering the power chamber 103 through the air outlet 112.

[0066] It should be noted that the base 210 in this embodiment is provided with through holes to reduce the weight of the base 210, and some gas can enter and exit through the through holes of the base 210, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. The power assembly 220 includes a fan 221 connected to the base 210. The fan 221 is located in the power chamber 103 and blows air toward the exhaust chamber 104; therefore, under the action of the fan 221, the gas in the power chamber 103 can flow into the exhaust chamber 104, and the flow of gas can be promoted, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0067] Based on the above, it can be understood that outside air can enter through the through hole in the base 210 that communicates with the control chamber 102 and the power chamber 103, flow to the exhaust chamber 104 under the action of the fan 221, and then flow out through the through hole that communicates with the exhaust chamber 104.

[0068] Therefore, in this embodiment, two second intermediate partition plates 140 are provided. One second intermediate partition plate 140 is close to the air outlet 112 and connected to the top wall of the housing 110. The other second intermediate partition plate 140 abuts against the base 210 to prevent hot air from flowing back into the power chamber 103 through the through hole of the base 210.

[0069] The two second intermediate partitions 140 are spaced apart, so that the fan 221 can be directly facing the gap between the two second intermediate partitions 140, avoiding obstruction of the gas flow, and allowing the gas to flow from the power chamber 103 to the exhaust chamber 104 under the guidance of the fan 221.

[0070] In other embodiments, the number of second intermediate partitions 140 can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0071] In summary, the housing 110 in this embodiment is provided with an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112 communicating with the chamber 101. This allows external air to flow in through the air inlet 111 to dissipate heat from the power component 220 inside the chamber 101. Subsequently, the heated air flows out through the air outlet 112, thus achieving continuous heat dissipation and improving heat dissipation efficiency. In this embodiment, an arc-shaped guide surface 113 is provided at the edge of the air inlet 111. External air can flow towards the air inlet 111 under the guidance of the arc-shaped guide surface 113, thereby promoting airflow and ensuring airflow while reducing the number or area of ​​the air inlets 111. The reduced number or area of ​​the air inlets 111 reduces noise, thus improving noise reduction. In this embodiment, a filter mesh 120 is installed in the air inlet 111 to prevent large impurities from entering the chamber 101 and damaging the power component 220 inside the chamber 101.

[0072] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
