A channel 33 composed of the upper shell and the lower shell is provided between the joint surfaces of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9. The fan is provided with a fan air inlet 34 and a fan air outlet 35.

[0032] The above components form the following airflow channel:

[0033] Air inlet 24 → Cavity 31 formed by the lower shell sound-absorbing cotton 10 and the sound-absorbing box vibration damping sponge 11 → Upper and lower shell channel 32 → Channel 33 formed by the upper shell and the lower shell → Fan air inlet 34 → Fan air outlet 35.

[0034] After the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 9 are assembled, two cavities are formed:

[0035] One is the cavity 31, which is composed of the lower shell 9, the lower shell sound-absorbing cotton 10, and the sound-absorbing box vibration-damping sponge 11. The cavity 31 serves as part of the airflow channel.

[0036] The other is a cavity composed of a lower housing 9 and an upper housing 1, which houses a fan 5, a damping spring 6, and a circular sponge 7 for the lower housing;

[0037] The two cavities are connected by the upper and lower shell channels 32, which are multi-pipe channels.

[0038] The entire fan silencer box is mounted on the silencer box damping sponge 11, and all interfaces with the surrounding structure are connected by silicone parts.

[0039] The air outlet 35 of the fan is assembled with the lower housing 9 through a silicone tube, and the main body of the fan 5 is supported by the circular sponge 7 and the damping spring 6 of the lower housing.

[0040] The upper shell 1 contains an upper shell adhesive sponge 17, an upper shell square sponge 4, and an upper shell round sponge 3, which together form the sound-absorbing structure of the upper shell.

[0042] The upper surface of the sound-absorbing foam 11 is covered with a polypropylene film, which is pressed tightly against the lower shell to form a sealed structure;

[0043] The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 9 are sealed with a rubber coating.

[0044] The lower housing 9 is sealed to the fan wire using an encapsulation process, and the motor wire passes through the fan wire seal.

[0049] In summary, the fan silencer box structure of this invention mainly comprises an upper shell, a lower shell, a fan and sound-absorbing sponge, a seal, and interfaces with other structures. This structure, as part of a ventilator, together with the humidifier, display screen assembly, and outer shell, constitutes the main unit of the ventilator.

[0050] The fan silencer box structure of the present invention has an air inlet connected to an air filter box and an air outlet connected to a humidifier. It has a differential pressure sensor interface to monitor flow rate and a gauge pressure sensor interface to monitor output pressure, which can effectively reduce vibration transmission and reduce airflow noise.

[0051] To more clearly demonstrate the technical solution and its effects provided by the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples. Example

[0052] like Figures 1a to 8 As shown:

[0053] 1) Main structure as follows Figures 1a to 2 As shown.

[0054] 2) Airflow direction as Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3c As shown:

[0055] Air inlet → Cavity 31 formed by the lower housing sound-absorbing cotton and the sound-absorbing box vibration damping sponge → Upper and lower housing channel 32 → Channel 33 formed by the upper and lower housings → Fan air inlet 34 → Fan air outlet 35

[0056] The lower shell sound-absorbing cotton and the sound-absorbing box vibration-damping sponge structure are as shown in 4a. Figures 4b to 6 As shown:

[0057] After the lower shell is assembled, two cavities are formed, one consisting of damping foam and the other of sound-absorbing foam from the lower shell. Their main function is to form air passages and reduce noise.

[0058] The other part is the cavity formed by the upper shell, which is used to install the fan and sound-absorbing foam.

[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, the two cavities are connected by a multi-pipeline channel.

[0060] 3) Vibration damping structure:

[0061] The entire fan silencer box is mounted on the damping foam of the silencer box, and the interfaces with the surrounding structure are all connected by silicone parts to minimize the transmission of fan vibration.

[0062] The air outlet of the fan is assembled with the lower housing through the silicone tube of the air outlet. The main body of the fan is supported by the circular sponge in the lower housing and the damping spring. The three together complete the functions of fan support, positioning and vibration damping.

[0063] 4) Noise reduction and sound absorption structure:

[0064] The sound-absorbing cotton in the lower shell and the vibration-damping sponge in the sound-absorbing box together with the lower shell form the air passage;

[0065] The upper and lower shell channels are multi-channel, which plays a role in rectification and noise reduction;

[0066] The upper shell's adhesive-backed sponge, square sponge, and round sponge constitute the sound-absorbing structure of the upper shell;

[0067] The impeller inlet of the fan is designed with a conical flow-rectifying structure to reduce airflow disturbance; Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3c Arrow 4).

[0068] 5) Sealed structure;

[0069] The upper surface of the sound-absorbing foam in the soundproof box is covered with a polypropylene film, which is pressed tightly against the lower shell to prevent air leakage;

[0070] The upper housing and the upper and lower housings are sealed using a rubber-coating process to ensure a good seal between the upper and lower housings;

[0071] The upper shell and the extrusion seal are made with a rubber coating process to ensure the sealing effect between the air outlet of the silencer and the humidifier;

[0072] The lower housing and the fan wire are sealed with a rubber-coating process, and the motor wire passes through the fan wire seal to ensure the motor wire is sealed.

[0073] The air inlet of the fan silencer box is sealed to the air filter box through a silicone tube at the fan inlet.

[0074] 6) Differential pressure sensor:

[0075] The differential pressure sensor is connected to the upper and lower housings of the fan via a differential pressure sensor connector. It measures the pressure difference between the two chambers on both sides of the upper and lower housing channels and finally converts it into flow rate. The multi-channel pipeline has a rectifying function to ensure the accuracy and stability of the pressure difference measurement between the two chambers.

[0076] 7) Gauge pressure sensor

[0077] A pressure sampling port is reserved at the outlet of the fan silencer box. A gauge pressure sensor is connected via a hose to measure the fan output pressure.

[0078] 8) Other

[0079] The conversion connector and air inlet seat tube are designed to reduce the complexity of mold processing by disassembling the upper and lower shell structures. Once assembled, they cannot be disassembled. Therefore, both integral and separate parts should be included in the protection scope.

[0080] The ventilator assembled using this fan silencer box and humidifier, according to official testing according to relevant standards, has a noise level of no more than 25 dB at a water column pressure of 10 cm.

[0081] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims. The information disclosed in the background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background technology of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or implication in any way that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
