Therefore, developing a silencing device that can efficiently reduce broadband airflow noise, has a simple structure, and is easy to maintain is of great practical significance.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a wideband airflow noise silencing device has an air inlet 1 connected to a diffuser section 2, a silencing section 3 connected to the diffuser section 2, a flow guide section 4 connected to the flow guide section 4, and an air outlet 5 connected to the flow guide section 4.

[0022] The sound-absorbing layer 6 is installed on both sides of the interior of the silencing section 3. The sound-absorbing layer 6 is located at the output end of the diffusion section 2. The silencing section 3 has a resonance sleeve 7 on the side near the flow guide section 4. The resonance sleeve 7 has several resonance cavities 8 inside.

[0023] In this embodiment, during installation, ensure that the air inlet 1 is tightly connected to the airflow duct that needs noise reduction, so that the airflow can smoothly enter the air inlet 1. At the same time, pay attention to sealing to prevent airflow leakage and additional noise. After the airflow passes through the air inlet 1 and enters the diffuser section 2, the airflow speed is reduced to reduce turbulence noise. Then it enters the silencing section 3, where the sound-absorbing layer 6 in the silencing section 3 comes into full contact with the mid-to-high frequency noise in the airflow, thereby absorbing the mid-to-high frequency noise. Then, it absorbs the low-frequency noise through the resonant cavity 8 in the resonant sleeve 7. Finally, the treated airflow is guided out of the device through the guide section 4 and the air outlet 5, thereby achieving the effect of reducing noise generation.

[0024] Example 2, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to the embodiment 1: the air inlet 1 is set as a tapered pipe structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, the air inlet 1 adopts a tapered pipe design. The tapered pipe can guide the airflow smoothly into the device. By reasonably reducing the pipe diameter, the impact generated when the airflow enters the device is effectively reduced, and the noise caused by the airflow impact is reduced.

[0026] Among them, the air intake end 1 is made of a suitable metal material and is processed into a tapered pipe shape according to the design requirements. During installation, ensure that the air intake end 1 is tightly connected to the airflow pipe that needs noise reduction, so that the airflow can smoothly enter the air intake section. At the same time, pay attention to sealing to prevent airflow leakage from generating additional noise.

[0027] Example 3, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to the embodiment 1: the diffusion section 2 is set as a gradually expanding pipe structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, the diffuser section 2 adopts a gradually expanding pipe structure design. When the airflow enters the diffuser section 2 from the inlet end 1, the airflow speed is reduced as the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe gradually increases. This design can effectively reduce the generation of turbulence noise because the lower airflow speed can reduce the degree of turbulence inside the airflow, thereby reducing the noise source generated by turbulence.

[0029] The diffuser section 2 is also made of high-quality metal material and is processed according to the design dimensions of the gradually expanding pipe. During installation, the diffuser section 2 is reliably connected to the air inlet 1 to ensure a smooth airflow transition. The length and expansion angle of the diffuser section 2 should be reasonably designed according to parameters such as airflow rate and velocity in the actual application scenario to achieve the best noise reduction effect.

[0030] Example 4, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to the original embodiment 1: the sound-absorbing layer 6 is made of glass wool and foam metal.

[0031] In this embodiment, a sound-absorbing layer 6 is set inside the sound-absorbing section 3. The sound-absorbing layer 6 is made of glass wool and foam metal and has a rich pore structure. When sound waves enter the sound-absorbing layer 6, they will be reflected and scattered multiple times in the pores of the sound-absorbing layer 6. The sound energy is continuously consumed and converted into heat energy, thereby achieving effective absorption of mid-to-high frequency noise and thus being able to cover a wide range of mid-to-high frequency noise.

[0032] The sound-absorbing layer 6 can be firmly installed in the sound-absorbing section 3 by means of pasting, fixing frame or other methods to prevent displacement under the impact of airflow.

[0033] Example 5, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure based on embodiment 1, with the resonant cavity 8 having different sizes.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple resonant cavities 8 of different sizes are set, each with its own specific resonant frequency. When the frequency of external low-frequency noise matches the resonant frequency of the resonant cavity 8, a resonance effect is triggered, causing the air column inside the resonant cavity 8 to vibrate strongly. During the vibration process, sound energy is continuously consumed, thereby absorbing low-frequency noise and covering a wider range of low-frequency noise bands.

[0035] In particular, by rationally arranging the resonant cavities inside the resonant sleeve 7, they can effectively resonate with low-frequency noise. The number, size, and distribution of the resonant cavities can be precisely designed and adjusted according to the low-frequency noise bands that need to be absorbed.

[0036] Example 6, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure to embodiment 1: the air outlet 5 is designed as a tapered pipe. This structural design facilitates the guidance of the treated airflow.

[0037] In this embodiment, the air outlet 5 adopts a tapered pipe design, which guides the processed airflow out of the device. The tapered pipe design can make the airflow more stable when it flows out, reducing the generation of airflow regeneration noise.

[0038] Among them, airflow regenerated noise refers to the noise generated again after the airflow passes through the silencer due to factors such as the interaction between the airflow and the pipe wall. The tapered pipe can effectively reduce the generation of this noise.

[0039] Among them, the air outlet 5 is tightly connected to other internal parts during installation to ensure that the treated airflow can flow out smoothly, while avoiding the generation of airflow regeneration noise.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
