Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of railway vehicle muffler technology, specifically to the outer shell of a double-layer thin plate rectangular muffler. Background Technology

[0002] A muffler is a device used to reduce airflow noise. It is usually installed in a power system or exhaust system. Its core function is to weaken the noise generated by airflow vibration through sound-absorbing materials or acoustic structures, while also taking into account the heat insulation function. In applications with frequent vibration, such as rail vehicles, the muffler needs to have high impact resistance, stable connection and long-term heat insulation and noise reduction capabilities to avoid structural failure or performance degradation caused by vibration.

[0003] Traditional rectangular mufflers often employ discontinuous, independent internal support frames, which fail to effectively suppress relative displacement between the inner and outer shells. This leads to a decrease in overall rigidity under prolonged vibration. Furthermore, the internal insulation material in existing mufflers is prone to detachment due to adhesive failure in high-temperature, vibrating environments, creating cavities and requiring frequent maintenance. However, most existing mufflers use welded structures to seal the insulation material on the outside, making it inconvenient for users to maintain or replace the internal insulation. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a double-layer thin-plate rectangular muffler shell to address the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a double-layer thin plate rectangular silencer shell, including an inner shell 1 for forming a sealed space and an outer shell 2, the outer shell 2 being sleeved on the outside of the inner shell 1, a sound-absorbing processing component 3 being installed inside the inner shell 1, and two snap-fit ​​components 4 for limiting the outer shell 2 being installed on one side of the inner shell 1 near the bottom.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer shell of this double-layer thin-plate rectangular silencer not only ensures a firm connection between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2, meeting the rigidity requirements under vibration conditions, but also, on the one hand, the treatment component 3 effectively blocks the outward radiation of heat from inside the silencer, and on the other hand, it effectively intercepts and absorbs the outward propagation of noise, thus reducing noise. Moreover, the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2 are easy to disassemble and carry, making it convenient for users to clean the noise-reducing and heat-insulating material in the treatment component 3 that has been powdered due to high temperature, thereby reducing the cost of use. When assembling the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2, after the outer shell 2 is completely fitted over the inner shell 1, the snap-fit ​​component 4 can limit the outer shell 2 to prevent it from moving, ensuring structural stability under vibration conditions and providing precise positioning for subsequent bolt reinforcement, significantly improving assembly efficiency.

[0023] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-4 As shown, the processing component 3 includes a horizontal frame 301 and a side frame 302. There are two horizontal frames 301 and two side frames 302. The two horizontal frames 301 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the inner shell 1 and are arranged symmetrically. The two side frames 302 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the inner shell 1 and are fixedly connected between the two horizontal frames 301. The two side frames 302 are also arranged symmetrically.

[0024] Furthermore, the transverse frame 301 and the side frame 302 adopt a symmetrical double structure design to form a rigid skeleton, which not only enhances the overall structural strength of the inner shell 1, but also effectively disperses vibration stress. At the same time, its symmetrical layout guides the orderly flow of airflow and avoids secondary noise generated by turbulence.

[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 3-4 As shown, support frames 303 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two transverse frames 301, and the two support frames 303 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two side frames 302 respectively. The inner walls of the two support frames 303 are fixedly connected to the longitudinal square tube frames 304, and the inner walls of the two transverse frames 301 are fixedly connected to the transverse square tube frames 305.

[0026] Both sides of the two side frames 302 are provided with outer end caps 306. The two outer end caps 306 are fixedly connected between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2 by bolts. The inner walls of the two outer end caps 306 are fixedly connected with side square tube frames 307. The inner walls of the two longitudinal square tube frames 304, the two transverse square tube frames 305 and the two side tube frames 307 are provided with multiple heat insulation and noise reduction pads 308. An air inlet pipe 309 is provided on the upper side of one side of the outer shell 2. The air inlet pipe 309 passes through the outer shell 2 and one of the outer end caps 306 and connects to the inside of the inner shell 1. An exhaust pipe 310 is provided on the lower side of the other side of the outer shell 2. The exhaust pipe 310 passes through the outer shell 2 and the other outer end cap 306 and connects to the inside of the inner shell 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the nested design of the longitudinal square tube frame 304 and the transverse square tube frame 305 provides a uniform support surface for the heat insulation and noise reduction pad 308, effectively blocking heat conduction and absorbing noise energy. The cooperation between the outer end cap 306 and the side square tube frame 307 forms a double sealing structure. Combined with the staggered layout of the air inlet pipe 309 and the exhaust pipe 310, it not only optimizes the airflow path and reduces turbulent noise, but also ensures the long-term reliable operation of the equipment under vibration conditions, achieving a highly efficient unity of mechanical strength, thermal sound insulation performance and airflow organization.

[0028] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 4 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 401 and a fixing block 402. The snap-fit ​​groove 401 is opened on the lower part of the inner wall of one side of the outer shell 2. The fixing block 402 is fixedly connected to the lower part of one side of the inner shell 1. The fixing block 402 is provided with a toggle groove 403. Multiple springs 404 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the toggle groove 403.

[0029] A movable block 405 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the actuating groove 403. The movable block 405 is fixedly connected to the front end of multiple springs 404. A wedge-shaped locking block 406 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable block 405 away from the springs 404. One end of the wedge-shaped locking block 406 passes through one side of the actuating groove 403, and the wedge-shaped locking block 406 and the locking groove 401 are engaged. An actuating block 407 is slidably connected inside the groove of the actuating groove 403. One end of the actuating block 407 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the movable block 405.

[0030] Further, the outer shell 2 is slowly inserted into the inner shell 1 from top to bottom. The lower end of the outer shell 2 will contact the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking block 406. The inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking block 406 decomposes the thrust, causing the spring 404 to contract. The wedge-shaped locking block 406 temporarily contracts into the actuating groove 403. When the groove 401 of the outer shell 2 is aligned with the wedge-shaped locking block 406, the spring 404 returns to its original position, and the wedge-shaped locking block 406 automatically engages with the groove 401. The tension of the spring 404 provides initial fixation, preventing the outer shell 2 from shifting. This ensures structural stability under vibration conditions and provides precise positioning for subsequent bolt reinforcement, significantly improving assembly efficiency. When the device needs internal maintenance after long-term use, the bolts are first removed, then the actuating block 407 is pushed to move the wedge-shaped locking block 406 out of the slot 401, and then the outer shell 2 is pushed up. This makes disassembly between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2 convenient and easy for users to clean and handle the heat insulation and noise reduction pad 308 in the component 3 that has been powdered due to high temperature, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0031] Working principle: Two transverse frames 301 are symmetrically welded to one side of the inner wall of the inner shell 1. Side frames 302 are welded between the transverse frames 301 to form the basic structure. A support frame 303 is welded at the connection between the transverse frames 301 and the side frames 302, completing the main skeleton construction. A longitudinal square tube frame 304 is inserted into the inner wall of the support frame 303. A transverse square tube frame 305 is embedded in the transverse frame 301 and fixed by welding. Side square tube frames 307 are welded to the inner wall of the outer end cap 306. Then, the outer end cap 306 is placed on both sides of the side frames 302 inside the inner shell 1. At this point, the outer shell 2 is slowly inserted into the inner shell 1 from top to bottom. The lower end of the outer casing 2 contacts the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking block 406. The inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking block 406 decomposes the thrust, causing the spring 404 to contract. The wedge-shaped locking block 406 temporarily contracts into the actuating groove 403. When the groove 401 of the outer casing 2 is aligned with the wedge-shaped locking block 406, the spring 404 returns to its original position, and the wedge-shaped locking block 406 automatically engages with the groove 401. The tension of the spring 404 provides initial fixation to prevent the outer casing 2 from shifting. Subsequently, the user screws the bolts into the outer casing 2. The bolts located on one side of the locking assembly 4 pass through the outer casing 2 and the inner casing 1 in sequence and are threaded onto one side of the outer end cap 306. The bolts on the other side pass through the outer casing 2. It is threaded to the other side of the outer end cap 306, thereby fixing the outer end cap 306, the outer shell 2 and the inner shell 1, ensuring a firm connection between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2, and meeting the rigidity requirements under vibration conditions. It is composed of a three-dimensional mesh support structure formed by the transverse frame 301, side frame 302, support frame 303, longitudinal square tube frame 304, transverse square tube frame 305, outer end cap 306 and side square tube frame 307, filled internally with a heat insulation and noise reduction pad 308. When sound waves enter the interior through the air inlet pipe 309, they encounter the structure formed by the longitudinal square tube frame 304, transverse square tube frame 305 and side square tube frame 307. The cross structure reflects and scatters the airflow, which is absorbed by the porous material of the heat insulation and noise reduction pad 308 and converted into heat energy to achieve noise reduction. The symmetrical layout of the internal structure guides the airflow along a preset path to avoid secondary noise caused by turbulence, resulting in better noise reduction and heat insulation. When the device needs to be inspected and maintained after long-term use, the bolts are first removed, and then the toggle block 407 is pushed to move the wedge-shaped block 406 out of the slot 401. Then the outer shell 2 is pushed up, making it easy to disassemble and carry between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 2. This makes it convenient for users to clean and handle the heat insulation and noise reduction pad 308 in the component 3 that has been powdered due to high temperature, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
