Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive air conditioning noise reduction technology, specifically a noise reduction mechanism inside an automotive air conditioning duct assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive air conditioning is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside a car cabin to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers. The air duct assembly is a key component of the automotive air conditioning system. It is responsible for delivering the air processed by the air conditioning system to various air outlets inside the vehicle, while regulating the temperature, humidity, and airflow direction. When the air conditioning is turned on, the rotation of the blower will accelerate the airflow in the air duct, which will generate aerodynamic noise that will affect the driver's driving. Therefore, a muffler is usually installed in the air duct assembly to reduce aerodynamic noise.

[0003] Currently available mufflers typically use sound-absorbing cotton to reduce noise. However, the overall structure of the muffler is usually a single piece, with the sound-absorbing cotton located inside. After prolonged use, the sound-absorbing cotton absorbs moisture and impurities from the air due to airflow, resulting in a significant reduction in the muffler's noise reduction effect on the air duct assembly. Because of the muffler's single-piece structure and the sound-absorbing cotton's location inside, the current practice is to replace the entire muffler. This not only increases the driver's costs but also leads to a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 Figure 5 In the embodiments of the utility model, a sound-absorbing mechanism inside a vehicle air conditioner air duct assembly comprises a sound-absorbing cylinder 1, the inside of the sound-absorbing cylinder 1 is provided with a fixing part 2 for fixing sound-absorbing cotton inside it, both ends of the sound-absorbing cylinder 1 are provided with a positioning part 3 for limiting the fixing part 2 inside the sound-absorbing cylinder 1, one end of the outer wall of the sound-absorbing cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with two symmetrical flange rings 11, both ends of the inner wall of the sound-absorbing cylinder 1 are fixedly connected with positioning rings 12, the fixing part 2 comprises a metal mesh cage 21, both ends of the metal mesh cage 21 are fixedly connected with connecting rings 23, the positioning part 3 comprises a connecting pipe 31, one end of the connecting pipe 31 is fixedly connected with a limiting ring 32 which is detachably connected with the positioning ring 12 and the connecting ring 23 at the corresponding position.

[0025] ​Specifically, first, the sound-absorbing cotton is wound into a circle and placed inside the silencer 1, positioned between the two positioning rings 12. Then, the metal mesh cage 21 is inserted from one end of the silencer 1 until the two connecting rings 23 are flush with the corresponding positioning rings 12. Next, the two limiting rings 32 are fixed to both ends of the silencer 1, and the limiting rings 32 are fixed to the corresponding connecting rings 23. At this point, the metal mesh cage 21 is fixed inside the silencer 1, providing support for the wound sound-absorbing cotton. Then, sponges are placed inside the two connecting pipes 31. Next, the air outlet of the duct assembly is separated from the duct assembly. Then, the silencer 1 (the end furthest from the two flange rings 11) is inserted into the duct assembly and fixed to the adjacent flange ring 11. Finally, the separated air outlet is fixed to the other flange ring 11, making the silencer 1, duct assembly, and air outlet a single unit. When the flowing air enters the silencer 1, it first passes through the sponge near the duct assembly, which reduces the airflow speed, thus... The aerodynamic noise generated by the air entering the muffler 1 is reduced by the sound-absorbing cotton. Then, when the air enters the air outlet, the flow rate is reduced again by the sponge, thus reducing noise. This makes the car quieter when the air conditioner is turned on. After long-term use, the muffler 1 is first removed from the air duct assembly and the air outlet. Then, the two limiting rings 32 are separated from the corresponding connecting rings 23 and removed from the muffler 1. At this time, the metal mesh cage 21 is released and can be pulled out from the inside of the muffler 1. Then, the sound-absorbing cotton is taken out from the inside of the muffler 1 and replaced with new sound-absorbing cotton. Then, the muffler 1, the fixing part 2, and the positioning part 3 are reassembled and fixed between the air duct assembly and the air outlet in the same way. By detachably connecting the limiting rings 32 to the muffler 1 and the connecting rings 23, it is not only convenient to quickly install and remove the sound-absorbing cotton, but also the muffler 1, the fixing part 2, and the positioning part 3 can be recycled, reducing resource consumption and reducing the driver's cost.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple sound-absorbing shells 22 are fixedly connected at equal intervals inside the metal mesh cage 21. The sound-absorbing shell 22 is a horn structure. Two symmetrical screws 24 are fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring 23 and are inserted through the corresponding limiting rings 32. The outer diameter of the connecting ring 23 is the same as the inner diameter of the positioning ring 12 and the limiting ring 32.

[0028] In this embodiment, multiple silencing shells 22 can further reduce the noise of the flowing gas entering the silencing cylinder 1, making the silencing effect of the device better. By inserting the screw 24 into the corresponding position of the limiting ring 32 and tightening it with a nut, the metal mesh cage 21 can be fixed between the two limiting rings 32, thereby supporting the silencing cotton.

[0029] Embodiment Two

[0030] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the connecting pipe 31 is fixedly connected with a fixed ring 33, the inside of the connecting pipe 31 is slidably sleeved with a clamping ring 34, a plurality of elastic members 35 are annularly and equiangularly fixedly connected between the clamping ring 34 and the fixed ring 33 at the corresponding positions, the elastic member 35 comprises a sleeve fixedly connected with the fixed ring 33 at the corresponding position, a sleeve rod fixedly connected with the clamping ring 34 at the corresponding position is slidably sleeved in the sleeve, a spring is fixedly connected between the sleeve rod and the sleeve at the corresponding position, and the outer wall of the sound elimination cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring.

[0031] In this embodiment, the clamping ring 34 is pulled away from the fixed ring 33, then the sponge is inserted between the clamping ring 34 and the fixed ring 33 (the sponge is flexible and can be squeezed to reduce the volume), then the clamping ring 34 is loosened, at this time the sponge is fixed between the clamping ring 34 and the fixed ring 33 under the elastic action of the plurality of springs, the sponge can not only absorb the moisture and impurities in the flowing air, but also reduce the flow speed of the air, so that the sound elimination effect can be further improved, and the sealing ring can increase the sealing property between the sound elimination cylinder 1 and the air duct assembly and the air outlet, so as to prevent the air leakage.

[0032] It is apparent for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, but can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application.
