Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of engine for vehicle, concretely relates to a resistance composite muffler of turbocharging air intake system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Modern cars widely use turbochargers to improve engine combustion efficiency, thereby improving output power and reducing harmful gas emissions. Significant airflow noise is generated during the operation of the turbocharger. Such noise has high frequency and a wide distribution frequency domain, and has higher noise reduction requirements for the air intake system.

[0003] Resistive mufflers use structures such as expansion chambers, perforated pipes, and side pipes to attenuate sound energy through reflection, interference, and resonance effects of sound waves. Resistive mufflers have good noise reduction effects on medium and low frequency noise, but have insufficient attenuation of high frequency noise, making it difficult to meet the high frequency noise reduction requirements of air intake systems with turbochargers. Patent CN201880034147.9 for reducing gas noise in the intake system of an internal combustion engine and a method for manufacturing the same; Utility model patent CN202420484126.X for a commercial vehicle intake system muffler; CN201621322579.4 for an intake system resistive muffler structure; CN201720879460.5 for a combined muffler device for an automobile intake system, an automobile intake system, and an automobile; CN201520344857.5 for a turbocharger compressor casing with a muffler; CN201920478759.9 for an integrated intake system muffler; CN202120766933.7 for a muffler, an intake system, and an automobile engine, respectively introduce the application of resistive mufflers in the intake system.

[0004] Resistive mufflers use sound-absorbing materials to convert sound energy into heat energy through friction and damping effects, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction. Resistive mufflers have good high frequency noise reduction effects, but have insufficient attenuation of medium and low frequency noise.

[0005] Resistance composite mufflers combine the characteristics of resistive and resistive mufflers, and through different structural designs and combinations of sound-absorbing materials, effectively control low, medium, and high frequency noise. Utility model patent (CN201621459848.1 for a muffler and an intake system of a vehicle) introduces the application of resistance composite mufflers in the turbocharged air intake system of a vehicle. In this patent, the sound-absorbing material is located on the outside of the resistive muffler, not on the inside of the pipe where the noise is severe, which does not absorb high frequency noise in time, and high frequency noise in the pipe can easily escape from both sides of the pipe. Utility model content

[0006] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems by providing an impedance-composite muffler for turbocharged intake systems. This muffler combines reactive and resistive silencing principles to effectively reduce mid-to-high frequency noise in turbocharged intake systems while maintaining system stability and reliability. It offers advantages such as a wide noise reduction range, strong high-frequency noise reduction capability, and a compact structure. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] The impedance composite muffler of the turbocharged intake system consists of a resistive muffler and a reactive muffler. The resistive muffler is composed of an upper shell, an upper perforated tube, resistive sound-absorbing material, and an oil-separating membrane. The upper perforated tube is installed inside the upper shell, and the oil-separating membrane is fixed outside the perforated tube. The oil-separating membrane is wrapped with resistive sound-absorbing material. The reactive muffler is composed of a lower shell and a lower perforated tube, and multiple baffles are installed between the lower shell and the lower perforated tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet bends of the resistive silencer are 30~60° to facilitate the sound waves entering the sound-absorbing material for sound energy attenuation, while the increase in airflow resistance of the system does not exceed 10%.

[0009] Furthermore, the perforation rate of the upper perforated tube is 70% to 90%, and the perforation form is a round hole or a square hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the resistive sound-absorbing material is mineral wool with a porosity greater than 95% and a flow resistance of 2x10⁻⁶. 3 ~2x10 5 kg / (m 3 . s), with a filling thickness of 5~50mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the oil-separating film is fixed to the outer wall of the upper perforated pipe by welding or applying adhesive.

[0012] Furthermore, the oil-separating film is made of PET with a thickness of 0.2~0.5mm and a maximum pore size of ≤1um. This effectively prevents debris of resistive sound-absorbing material from falling into the pipeline and entering the engine, while also minimizing the risk of oil and gas entering the sound-absorbing material from the pipeline.

[0013] Furthermore, the resistive silencer is divided into multiple independent silencing chambers by partitions in the shell and the lower perforated pipe. The volume of each silencing chamber can be flexibly adjusted by the spacing between the partitions and the outer diameter of the shell. The silencing chambers have silencing perforations in the inner tube, and the perforation rate of the lower perforated pipe is 10% to 50%, with the perforations being either round or square.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper perforated tube is positioned with the upper housing through a positioning boss; the upper housing and the lower housing are welded and fixed by friction welding, ultrasonic welding or infrared welding.

[0015] Furthermore, the fuel canister connector and the engine crankcase ventilation pipe connector are arranged on the outer shell of the resistive muffler.

[0016] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the perforated tube in the composite silencer is 2-3 mm, and the wall thickness of the outer shell is 3-4.5 mm. The material can be selected from PA6+GF or PA66+GF, depending on the temperature resistance and strength requirements.

[0017] In this embodiment, the impedance composite muffler is arranged before the turbocharger, with the resistive muffler close to the turbocharger side to facilitate the rapid absorption of high-frequency noise energy from the turbocharger and reduce the propagation of high-frequency noise downstream.

[0018] The impedance composite muffler of this invention, on the one hand, achieves excellent noise reduction in the low and mid-frequency range through a reasonable resistive noise reduction structure design; on the other hand, it achieves excellent noise reduction in the high-frequency range through a reasonable design and arrangement of resistive sound-absorbing materials, making it particularly suitable for noise reduction in intake systems with turbochargers. The design of the inlet and outlet bends and the oil-separating membrane arrangement of the resistive muffler facilitates sound wave attenuation within the sound-absorbing material while minimizing airflow resistance. The reasonable PET oil-separating membrane arrangement effectively prevents debris from the resistive sound-absorbing material from falling into the pipeline and entering the engine, while also minimizing the entry of oil and gas from the pipeline into the sound-absorbing material.

[0026] The inlet and outlet bends of the resistive silencer are 30-60° to facilitate sound wave attenuation in the sound-absorbing material, while the increase in airflow resistance does not exceed 10%. The perforated tube 2 has a perforation rate of 70%-90%, with round or square holes. The resistive sound-absorbing material 3 is mineral wool with a porosity greater than 95% and a flow resistance of 2x10⁻⁶. 3 ~2x10 5 kg / (m 3 The filling thickness is 5~50mm. The oil-separating film 4 is fixed to the outer wall of the upper perforated pipe 2 by welding or gluing.

[0027] The oil-separating membrane is made of PET with a thickness of 0.2~0.5mm and a maximum pore size of ≤1um. This effectively prevents debris from resistive sound-absorbing material from falling into the pipeline and entering the engine, while also minimizing the risk of oil and gas entering the sound-absorbing material. The resistive muffler is divided into multiple independent muffler chambers by partitions in the housing 5 and the lower perforated pipe 6. The volume of each chamber can be flexibly adjusted by the partition spacing and the outer diameter of the housing.

[0029] The wall thickness of the perforated tube in the composite silencer is 2-3 mm, and the wall thickness of the outer shell is 3-4.5 mm. The material can be selected from PA6+GF or PA66+GF, depending on the temperature resistance and strength requirements.

[0030] In this embodiment, the impedance composite muffler is positioned before the turbocharger, with the resistive muffler close to the turbocharger side to facilitate rapid absorption of high-frequency noise energy from the turbocharger and reduce the propagation of high-frequency noise downstream.
