Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator set technology, and in particular to a generator set silent box structure. Background Technology
[0002] Diesel generator sets, as an indispensable backup or primary power source, play a vital role in modern society. They are widely used in various industrial and mining enterprises, medical institutions, data centers, communication base stations, construction sites, and residential buildings, providing these locations with a stable and reliable power supply. However, it is undeniable that diesel generator sets generate significant broadband, high-intensity noise during operation. This high-intensity noise not only causes serious pollution to the surrounding environment but also brings many negative impacts, such as affecting the physical and mental health of workers, reducing work efficiency, and disrupting the daily lives of residents.
[0003] To effectively reduce noise pollution from generator sets, traditional noise reduction methods primarily involve using simple soundproof enclosures or boxes. Specifically, adding a simple metal casing or box to the outside of the generator set is the most common and convenient overall noise reduction method. Its noise reduction principle mainly relies on two mechanisms: sound insulation and sound absorption. Sound insulation blocks noise transmission through physical barriers, while sound absorption uses sound-absorbing materials to absorb noise energy, thereby reducing noise reflection and transmission. However, although this method can reduce noise to some extent, existing soundproof enclosure structures generally have many limitations. For example, in terms of structural design optimization, it is difficult to comprehensively consider both noise control and equipment heat dissipation; in terms of maintenance convenience, the complex structure increases maintenance difficulty and cost.

Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives achieved by this utility model, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 8The generator set shown in this embodiment adopts a silent box-type structure design. This box-type structure is mainly composed of an integral box 1, and three independent chambers are arranged sequentially inside the box 1, namely the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4. In order to achieve effective air circulation and noise control, the box-type structure is also designed with a first air intake 5, a second air intake 6, and an exhaust 7 that act on the first chamber 2, the second chamber 3, and the third chamber 4, respectively. In addition, the box-type structure also includes a sound-absorbing part 8, which consists of a sound-absorbing group 81 evenly distributed on the inner side of the box 1 and a sound-absorbing group 82 acting on the first chamber 2, so as to minimize noise transmission. Preferably, the sound-absorbing group 81 adopts an internal structure design combining rock wool and perforated plate. This structure is carefully arranged on the inner wall of the box 1, covering not only all sides of the box 1, but also extending into the internal space of the door of the box 1. This comprehensive distribution method ensures maximum sound absorption and effectively improves overall sound insulation performance.
[0029] Furthermore, to better separate and regulate the airflow and sound waves within each chamber, a first baffle 9 is provided between the first chamber 2 and the second chamber 3, and a ventilation component 10 is connected to the first baffle 9 to transfer heat from the first chamber 2 to the second chamber 3, ensuring smooth airflow. Preferably, the ventilation component 10 is also equipped with sound-absorbing material for further noise reduction. Similarly, a second baffle 11 is also provided between the second chamber 3 and the third chamber 4.
[0030] Furthermore, the first air intake 5 includes a first rain cover 51 disposed on the top of the housing 1 and a first air duct 52 located inside the housing 1. The first air duct 52 directly leads to the outside of the housing 1, and a first grille 53 is disposed on the housing 1. The first grille 53 effectively prevents excessively large foreign objects from falling into the first air duct 52, while the first rain cover 51 is used to prevent rainwater from entering the first air duct 52. A first sound absorber 521 is disposed on the annular outer surface of the first air duct 52, and a first sound-absorbing body 522 is disposed on the annular inner surface of the first air duct 52. Preferably, the first sound absorber 521 is an internal structure design of rock wool and perforated plate, while the first sound-absorbing body 522 plays a noise reduction role for the air entering the first air duct 52 and is detachable. In addition, a first louvered opening 523 is provided on one side of the first air duct 52. The air entering the first air duct 52 enters the first chamber 2 through the first louvered opening 523. The air intake volume can also be adjusted by adjusting the position of the louvers of the first louvered opening 523.
[0031] Furthermore, a water collection tray 13 connected to the housing 1 is designed within the first chamber 2. The first air duct 52 is disposed on the water collection tray 13 to prevent rainwater from accidentally entering the first chamber 2. Simultaneously, a unit 14 is installed within the first chamber 2. The silencing assembly 82 includes a second silencing element 821 disposed on the top of the housing 1 and a third silencing element 822 located within the first chamber 2. The third silencing element 822 is not only connected to the second silencing element 821, but one end of the third silencing element 822 is also directly connected to the unit 14 to effectively absorb and reduce the noise generated by the unit 14 during operation, while also venting smoke from the unit 14. An electrical control cabinet 19 is also disposed within the first chamber 2, which is used to control the operation of various components within the housing structure. A drain outlet 12 is also provided in the first chamber 2. By setting the slope of the bottom surface of the first chamber 2, the water that accidentally enters the first chamber 2 is promptly collected and discharged to the drain outlet 12.
[0032] Furthermore, the second air intake 6 includes a second rain cover 61 disposed on the top of the housing 1 and a second air duct 62 and a third air duct 63 located inside the housing 1. The second rain cover 61 is used to prevent rainwater from entering the second chamber 3. The second air duct 62 leads directly to the outside of the housing 1, and a second grille 64 is provided on the housing 1 to effectively prevent excessively large foreign objects from falling into the second air duct 62. The third air duct 63 is symmetrically disposed on both sides of the housing 1 and is connected to the second air duct 62. Air enters through the second air duct 62 and is diverted by the third air ducts 63 on both sides. A fourth silencer 621 is provided on the annular inner surface of the second air duct 62 to reduce noise of the air entering the second air duct 62. A second louvered opening 631 is also provided on one side surface of the third air duct 63. The air entering the third air duct 63 enters the second chamber 3 through the second louvered opening 631. In addition, the air intake can be adjusted and noise can be further reduced by adjusting the louvers of the second louvered opening 631. A water tank 17 is also provided in the second chamber 3 for storing and regulating cooling water. The water tank 17 is also equipped with a fan for effective heat dissipation. A part of the water tank 17 is also connected to the second baffle 11 and acts on the third chamber 4 at the same time. That is, under the action of the water tank 17, the air will be sent from the second chamber 3 to the third chamber 4 through the second baffle 11.
[0033] Furthermore, the exhaust section 7 includes a third rain cover 71 disposed on the top of the housing 1. A vent 72 penetrating the inside and outside of the housing 1 is also disposed at the lower part of the third rain cover 71. A third grille 74 is disposed at the vent 72 to ensure smooth exhaust of hot air while preventing excessively large foreign objects from falling into the third chamber 4. The third rain cover 71 prevents rainwater from entering the third chamber 4 through the vent 72. A support member 15 connected to the housing 1 is also disposed within the third chamber 4. Multiple second sound absorbers 73 connected to the housing 1 are disposed on the upper part of the support member 15. Before being discharged through the vent 72, the hot air entering the third chamber 4 is further absorbed by the second sound absorbers 73. In addition, a third sound absorber 16 is provided in the third chamber 4. One end of the third sound absorber 16 is connected to the bottom of the box 1, and the other end of the third sound absorber 16 is connected to the support member 15, so as to effectively support the distributed second sound absorbers 73 through the support member 15.
[0034] Furthermore, a dummy load 18 is installed in the third chamber 4 to simulate the generator set's operating state under actual working conditions when there is no load, thereby preventing carbon buildup in the generator set 14. In addition, the dummy load 18 can effectively detect the generator set's performance under different operating conditions, ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment. By simulating a real load environment, potential problems can be identified and adjusted in a timely manner, thus extending the equipment's service life. Simultaneously, this design can reduce energy waste caused by frequent start-stop cycles and improve overall operating efficiency.
[0035] The following describes the specific working process of a generator set silent box structure according to this embodiment:
[0036] First, air is supplied to the first chamber 2 and the second chamber 3 via the first air duct 52 and the second air duct 62, respectively. Specifically, air is delivered to the first chamber 2 via the first louver 523 through the first air duct 52, and then diverted by the second air duct 62 to the third air duct 63 before being delivered to the second chamber 3 via the second louver 631. Next, due to the heat dissipation effect of the water tank 17, the air in the first chamber 2 flows into the second chamber 3 through the ventilation component 10, and after converging with the air in the second chamber 3, it is discharged through the exhaust port 72 in the third chamber 4, completing the heat exchange within the box-type structure. During the entire heat exchange process, based on the action of the first sound absorber 521, the second sound absorber 73, the third sound absorber 16, the first silencer 522, the second silencer 821, the fourth silencer 621, and the sound-absorbing part 8, the noise of the box-type structure in this embodiment is reduced to a certain extent, achieving a relatively quiet standard.
[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
