Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engines, specifically to a noise reduction device for an engine crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft pulley itself. Background Technology
[0002] During engine operation, the crankshaft system is subjected to excitations from combustion within the cylinder, timing sprocket loads, and impact loads from the transmission system, causing it to vibrate. This vibration noise is transmitted to the outside of the engine through the crankshaft pulley at the end of the crankshaft. The sound insulation performance of a single-layer solid plate in the low-frequency range is mainly determined by its stiffness. In the patent (200610063743.9 Noise Insulation Pulley), the soundproof cover is made of rubber. Rubber is less stiff than plastic, which also results in lower sound insulation performance for rubber compared to plastic.
[0003] The utility model (202120130468.8 A crankshaft vibration damping pulley sound insulation cover, engine and vehicle) uses a sound insulation cover and sound insulation cotton for sound insulation and absorption. The sound insulation cover is made of plastic or metal and serves as sound insulation. The sound insulation cotton is attached to the sound insulation cover and serves as sound absorption. The thickness of the material is an important parameter affecting the sound absorption performance. This utility model does not mention that the thickness of the sound-absorbing material is relatively thin, nor does it specify the thickness. The sound insulation cover is fixed to the pulley by buckles and achieves an interference fit with a rubber sealing ring. However, rubber is prone to aging, and aging may cause the sound insulation cover to loosen.
[0004] The utility model (201820679594.7, a sound insulation device for a vibration damping pulley of a turbocharged engine) has a sound insulation cover with multiple layers of sound-absorbing and insulating materials, including foam, sound insulation sleeve, glass wool layer, semi-cured felt layer, non-woven fabric layer, and perforated aluminum foil layer. This complex structure poses a certain risk to the device's durability and reliability. Furthermore, the installation process requires adjusting the relative position between the pulley and the sound insulation cover, making it relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model proposes a novel noise reduction device for crankshaft pulleys and a crankshaft pulley itself. This device effectively reduces near-field noise from the pulley and also boasts advantages such as simple and reliable structure, convenient assembly, wide adaptability to various operating conditions, and high durability and reliability. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] A noise reduction device for an engine crankshaft pulley comprises a sound-absorbing layer, a threaded bushing, and a sound-insulating housing. The sound-insulating housing matches the inner contour of the crankshaft pulley. The sound-absorbing layer is disposed inside the sound-insulating housing. The threaded bushing is embedded in the circumference of the sound-insulating housing, corresponding to the threaded hole on the crankshaft pulley. The outer shape of the sound-insulating housing is arc-shaped to avoid concave shapes and prevent sound energy focusing. The threaded bushing is embedded in the sound-insulating housing by injection molding. The threaded bushing and the sound-insulating housing are fitted with a T-shaped boss structure to effectively prevent axial movement.
[0007] Furthermore, the sound-absorbing layer is made of PUR, which has been foamed and has a density of 100~140 kg / m³. 3 The porosity is greater than 90%, and the thickness is 2~50mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the sound-absorbing layer is fixed to the soundproof cover housing by adhesive application.
[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the soundproof shell is greater than 2.0 mm, and the material is selected as PA6+GF or PA66+GF according to the temperature resistance and strength requirements.
[0010] Furthermore, the screw hole bushings are evenly arranged circumferentially, with a quantity of 4 to 6, and the material is steel 08A.
[0011] This utility model also provides a crankshaft pulley equipped with a noise reduction device for an engine crankshaft pulley. The noise reduction device for the engine crankshaft pulley is fixed to the crankshaft pulley by bolts. The sound-absorbing layer is close to the side of the crankshaft pulley and contacts and cooperates with the pulley. The bolts pass through the threaded bushing and the threaded hole on the crankshaft pulley to fix the noise reduction device for the engine crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft pulley.
[0012] This invention, through the rational arrangement and structural design of the sound-absorbing layer and sound-insulating layer-soundproof cover, effectively reduces noise by up to 2.0 dBA through both sound absorption and sound insulation, demonstrating significant results. The noise reduction device is bolted to the crankshaft pulley, a simple, reliable, and widely adaptable installation method. The bolted bushing is strategically embedded in the soundproof cover, effectively limiting movement and preventing the cover from being damaged by the bolts during installation. Furthermore, the T-shaped boss structure of the two components effectively prevents axial movement. This invention absorbs and isolates vibration noise transmitted from the crankshaft system to the crankshaft pulley, effectively improving the problem of high near-field noise from the crankshaft pulley and enhancing the engine's operating sound quality.

It is positioned near the sound source (pulley) and contacts the pulley. The sound-absorbing layer 1 is fixed to the sound-insulating housing 3 by adhesive application.
