[0044] This embodiment discloses a ventilation and silencing device and an energy storage thermal management system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage thermal management system includes an energy storage thermal management box 3, and a ventilation and noise reduction device is installed on the side of the energy storage thermal management box 3 (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown) and top surface (as shown) Figure 2 As shown in the image, it can adapt to various environments, avoid collisions with surrounding objects, and is more convenient to use.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the ventilation and noise reduction device includes a frame 1 and a sound-absorbing component 2. The frame 1 includes two end plates 11 and two side plates 12. Each end plate 11 is detachably connected between two side plates 12. That is, one end plate 11, one side plate 12, one end plate 11 and one side plate 12 are connected in sequence to form a ventilation duct 13. The sound-absorbing component 2 is located in the ventilation duct 13 and is detachably connected to the side plate 12.
[0046] The ventilation and silencing device is disassembled into multiple independent structures, transported to the work site, and then reassembled. This method is convenient for disassembly and assembly and reduces transportation difficulty. The frame 1 is connected to the energy storage thermal management box 3. The specific connection structure between the frame 1 and the energy storage thermal management box 3 is not limited and can be, but is not limited to, a fixed connection achieved through bending plates and bolts.
[0047] The sound-absorbing component 2 includes a housing 21 and a composite sound-absorbing core 22 disposed within the housing 21. The housing 21 has through holes through which sound waves can reach the composite sound-absorbing core 22. The composite sound-absorbing core comprises at least three sequentially bonded sound-absorbing layers, with the outer sound-absorbing layer 221 having a lower material density than the inner sound-absorbing layer 222. The composite sound-absorbing core 22, formed by using a low-density outer layer and a high-density middle layer, can simultaneously absorb mid-to-high frequency and low-frequency noise, solving the problem that existing silencers can only handle mid-to-high frequency noise. The material density of the composite sound-absorbing core 22 gradually increases from the outside to the inside, resulting in a gradual increase in acoustic impedance, which is beneficial for the absorption of sound waves, achieving enhanced absorption of low frequencies and providing good noise reduction.
[0048] Figure 8The diagram shows a comparison of the working principles of a single-density sound-absorbing layer and two sound-absorbing layers formed by composite sound-absorbing materials. Specifically, Figure 8 a represents a sound-absorbing layer formed by a single-density sound-absorbing material. Figure 8 b represents two sound-absorbing layers formed by composite sound-absorbing materials.
[0049] When sound waves travel from the air to a sound-absorbing material, some are reflected and some are incident. The incident portion of the sound waves is dissipated as heat energy by the sound-absorbing material. Therefore, a higher proportion of incident sound waves is desirable. The smaller the difference between the impedance of the air and the impedance of the sound-absorbing material, the easier it is for sound waves to enter. The impedance can be calculated using the following formula:
[0050] Z0=ρ×c
[0051] Where Z0: acoustic impedance kg / (m) 2 ×s), ρ: density of medium (kg / m³) 3 c: speed of sound in m / s.
[0052] To more effectively handle noise over a wide frequency range, especially low-frequency noise, the selection of materials for the sound-absorbing layer needs to consider impedance matching to facilitate sound wave incidence. The appropriate density value for different density ranges generally needs to be evaluated based on the weight limitations of the ventilation and silencing device. In this embodiment, the material density of the outer sound-absorbing layer 221 is 32 kg / m³. 3 Up to 48Kg / m 3 Between these layers, the material density of the internal sound-absorbing layer 222 is 60 kg / m³. 3 Up to 80kg / m 3 between.
[0053] The specific thickness of each sound-absorbing layer is not limited. In this embodiment, the overall thickness of the sound-absorbing layer is 150mm, the thickness of the two outer sound-absorbing layers 221 is 50mm, and the thickness of the inner sound-absorbing layer 222 is also 50mm. It is easy to process and has a good absorption effect on both mid-high frequency noise and low frequency noise.
[0054] The specific shape and size of the frame 1 are not limited, as long as the cross-sectional area of the ventilation duct 13 meets the ventilation requirements of the energy storage thermal management system. The specific connection method between the end plate 11 and the side plate 12 is not limited. In this embodiment, the end plate 11 and the side plate 12 are fixedly connected by a waist-shaped perforated plate 14 and self-tapping screws.
[0055] The specific connection structure between the frame 1 and the sound-absorbing component 2 is not limited. In this embodiment, the two side plates 12 are arranged parallel and spaced apart, and the sound-absorbing component 2 is vertically connected between the two side plates 12. The sound-absorbing component 2 and the frame 1 are interference-fitted, making the connection more stable. In order to make the overall structure of the ventilation and noise reduction device more robust, a bendable waist-shaped perforated plate can be provided between the sound-absorbing component 2 and the side plate 12. The two ends of the bendable waist-shaped perforated plate are fixed to the sound-absorbing component 2 and the side plate 12 respectively using self-tapping screws.
[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, the end plate 11 includes an end plate body 111 and an end plate cover 112. After the end plate cover 112 and the end plate body 111 are fastened together, they form a cavity for filling with sound-absorbing material to reduce noise. Correspondingly, the side plate 12 includes a side plate body 121 and a side plate cover 122. After the side plate body 121 and the side plate cover 122 are fastened together, they form a cavity for filling with sound-absorbing material.
[0057] The end plate body 111 has a through hole on the side facing the ventilation duct 13, and the side plate body 121 has a through hole on the side facing the ventilation duct 13. Sound can be absorbed by the sound-absorbing material through the through hole, resulting in good noise reduction effect. The airflow will not turn and enter the through hole, so it will not affect the normal air outlet.
[0058] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the sound-absorbing component 2 includes an air outlet 23 near the air outlet of the ventilation duct 13 and an air inlet 24 near the air inlet of the ventilation duct 13. The air outlet 23 is bent relative to the air inlet 24, and the bending direction of the air outlet 23 is perpendicular to the direction of gas flow.
[0059] The sound-absorbing component 2, with a certain degree of bending, increases the contact area between the sound source and the composite sound-absorbing core 22, resulting in better sound absorption and noise reduction. The larger the angle α between the air outlet 23 and the air inlet 24, the larger the contact area between the sound source and the composite sound-absorbing core 22, and the better the noise reduction effect. However, the bending structure increases wind resistance, and the larger the angle α between the air outlet 23 and the air inlet 24, the greater the pressure loss. In this embodiment, the angle α between the air outlet 23 and the air inlet 24 is between 0° and 30°, preferably 1°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30°. When α is 15°, the pressure loss is 16 Pa, which is a relatively suitable pressure loss value. Figure 11 This diagram illustrates the calculation of pressure loss, using simulation software for assessment. It is understood that the specific simulation software used is not limited; any existing software capable of calculating pressure loss can be employed.
[0060] like Figures 9 to 15As shown, the sound-absorbing component 2 also includes a resonant silencing cavity 25, which is located on the side of the outer shell 21 near the air inlet of the ventilation duct 13. The cross-section of the resonant silencing cavity 25 along the airflow direction is triangular. When the sound-absorbing material in the sound-absorbing component 2 can eliminate low-frequency noise, the space where the resonant silencing cavity 25 and the composite sound-absorbing inner core 22 are located is isolated from each other by a partition 26.
[0061] The resonant silencing cavity 25 includes two resonant silencing side surfaces 251 on its windward side. A circular hole 252 is formed on one of the resonant silencing side surfaces 251, creating a low-frequency resonant cavity. The size of the circular hole 252 can adjust the frequency of noise it can attenuate. In this embodiment, the area of the circular hole 252 satisfies the following formula:
[0062]
[0063] Where f is the frequency to be eliminated, in Hz; c is the speed of sound, in m / s; and A is the area of the circular hole 252, in m². 2 V represents the volume of the resonant silencing cavity 25, in meters. 3 t represents the thickness of the sheet metal plate used to prepare the resonant silencing cavity 25, in meters (m).
[0064] In this embodiment, the volume of the triangular resonant anechoic cavity 25 is V = 4.19E-4m. 3 The sheet metal thickness t = 1.5E-3m is used to attenuate 250Hz noise. According to the formula, the diameter of the circular hole 252 is calculated to be 4.2mm.
[0065] A triangular wedge-shaped resonant silencing cavity 25 is positioned at the air inlet to reduce airflow resistance. A circular hole 252 is formed on the resonant silencing side 251, which utilizes the Helmholtz resonant cavity principle to process specific low-frequency noise that is difficult for sound-absorbing materials to absorb, causing sound energy attenuation and thus reducing low-frequency noise. The principle is that when the external noise frequency matches the resonant frequency, the air column at the neck of the circular hole 252 vibrates violently, forming a low-frequency resonant cavity. Sound energy is dissipated as heat energy through viscous friction and thermal conduction, thereby eliminating low-frequency noise.
[0066] By treating specific low-frequency noise through the resonant anechoic cavity 25, the overall target value is effectively reduced, resulting in good noise reduction. The size of the resonant anechoic cavity 25 is not limited; it is designed according to the structural dimensions of the sound-absorbing component 2, and the resonance attenuation of noise can be disregarded initially. When the sound-absorbing component 2 is bent to a certain extent, the triangular wedge-shaped resonant anechoic cavity 25 remains vertically downward and does not bend with the sound-absorbing component 2.
[0067] Based on the above structure, the outer shell 21 of the sound-absorbing component 2 includes a first shell 211 and a second shell 212, which together form an accommodating cavity for filling the composite sound-absorbing inner core 22. A connecting flange 213 is formed by bending on the second shell 212. During assembly, the connecting flange 213 is attached and fixed to the first shell 211, which is a separate process with high processing efficiency.
[0068] Compression pads made of flexible material (e.g., rubber) are provided at the joints between any two connected structures of end plate 11, side plate 12 and all sound-absorbing components 2 to reduce gaps and make the connection tighter.
[0069] The following data compares the noise reduction effects of various noise reduction devices.
[0070] Table 1 below shows the original noise measurements taken at a distance of 1m from the air outlet:
[0071]
[0072] The goal of designing a ventilation and noise reduction device is to achieve a total noise reduction of no less than 10 dB(A) at the same measuring point. The design formula is:
[0073] ΔL=Φ(a)×L×P / S(dB)
[0074] Wherein, ΔL: the sound attenuation dB of the ventilation silencer at a certain flow rate; Φ(a): the static silencing coefficient obtained from the sound-absorbing material a0; a0: the sound absorption coefficient measured by the standing wave tube method, Φ(a) = 1.6a0; L: the height of the ventilation silencer protruding from the surface of the energy storage thermal management box 3, which is the height of the side plate 12 along the airflow direction, in units of (m); P is the perimeter of the cross-section of the single channel formed between two adjacent sound-absorbing components 2; S is the area of the cross-section of the single channel formed between two adjacent sound-absorbing components 2.
[0075] The length of the single channel formed between two adjacent sound-absorbing elements 2 is D1, and the width is D2. Therefore, P = 2 × (D1 + D2), in meters (m); S = D1 × D2, in meters (m). 2 In this embodiment, L = 600mm, D1 = 110mm, and D2 = 800mm.
[0076] The sound absorption coefficient a0 can be determined based on the sound absorption material used. When polyester fiber is used as the sound absorption material, the sound absorption coefficient of polyester fiber is taken as 0.7.
[0077] The thickness of the protective plate surrounding the outer shell 21 also needs to be determined, based on 1 / 8 of the wavelength of the lower limit frequency of the noise spectrum. Theoretically, a thicker plate will provide better coverage, but the actual thickness will be limited by engineering space. In engineering, it is generally taken to be around 100mm. In this embodiment, the low-frequency noise energy of the sound source accounts for a prominent proportion, so a plate thickness of 150mm is chosen.
[0078] Based on the above data, calculations show that the total noise attenuation can reach 13.9 dB(A).
[0079] Table 2 below shows the statistical values of noise reduction measured by conventionally designed mufflers:
[0080]
[0081] The actual total attenuation was 4.4 dB(A), which falls short of the requirement of 10 dB(A) and differs significantly from the theoretical calculation. Spectrum analysis revealed that in the low-frequency range below 500 Hz, there was only a 6 dB(A) attenuation at 500 Hz, and almost no attenuation at 63 Hz, 125 Hz, and 250 Hz. Furthermore, the energy proportion in the low-frequency range was relatively large, especially at 250 Hz.
[0082] Further analysis shows that the high-frequency band of the entire spectrum can be attenuated to 10dB(A). The simplest solution is to continue increasing the thickness of the sheet, but due to practical engineering applications, it is obviously impossible to continue increasing the thickness. Therefore, we need to further analyze and optimize the characteristics of the sound-absorbing material.
[0083] The conventional design in existing technology is to fill with a single-density sound-absorbing material, typically a low-density material of 32 kg / m³. 3 Up to 48Kg / m 3 This allows for coverage of a certain wide frequency range and enables sound waves to penetrate the sound-absorbing material as much as possible. This is because the acoustic impedance of the air must be matched as closely as possible with the acoustic impedance of the sound-absorbing material, with the impedance difference between the two being as small as possible, so that sound waves can easily penetrate.
[0084] The characteristics of sound waves are that the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, and the lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength. Shorter wavelengths are more likely to penetrate low-density sound-absorbing materials. Because sound-absorbing materials have low density, their impedance is closer to that of air, making it easier for sound waves to enter. Therefore, low-density sound-absorbing materials are usually used when filling sound-absorbing materials. However, this also results in poor attenuation of low-frequency noise by the silencer, because low-frequency wavelengths have long wavelengths and strong diffraction capabilities, requiring high-density sound-absorbing materials to absorb them.
[0085] Table 3 below shows the statistical data of the measured values of the composite sound-absorbing material silencer:
[0086]
[0087] The actual attenuation was 8.9 dB(A), which is 4.5 dB(A) higher than the attenuation of 4.4 dB(A) of the conventionally designed muffler. This shows that the composite material has a significant effect on improving the performance of the muffler.
[0088] However, the target value of no less than 10dB(A) has not yet been met. Analyzing the spectrum, after using composite sound-absorbing materials, the attenuation at 500Hz and 250Hz has increased significantly, reaching 11.7dB(A) at 500Hz and 5.5dB(A) at 250Hz. From the perspective of the energy ratio of the spectrum, the energy attenuation of high frequencies is already sufficient. Further attenuation of high frequencies will not have any effect on reducing the total value. Only by further attenuating the energy of low frequencies can the total value be reduced.
[0089] Table 4 below shows the statistical data of measurements taken using composite materials and resonant cavity silencers:
[0090]
[0091] The total attenuation reached 11.4 dB(A), meeting the design requirements. From the test spectrum, in the low frequency range, especially at 250 Hz, there was an attenuation of 3.8 dB(A) compared to the previous maximum, which further verified the feasibility of the theory through experiments.
