Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silencer technology, and in particular to an assembled compressor silencer. Background Technology

[0002] During compressor operation, the muffler, as a key component for reducing airflow noise, directly affects the overall performance of the compressor due to its noise reduction effect and service life. Currently, compressor mufflers typically achieve noise reduction by setting multiple silencing holes, which are mostly millimeter-sized or smaller in diameter, utilizing acoustic principles to attenuate airflow noise. However, in practical applications, the air (or other working medium) drawn into the compressor often contains various impurities, which can easily lead to blockage of the silencing holes, severely affecting the normal operation of the muffler. Most existing mufflers adopt an integrated structure, which is inconvenient for disassembly and cleaning. Once blockage occurs, the entire muffler needs to be replaced or undergo complex disassembly and repair, increasing maintenance costs and downtime. In view of this, this utility model proposes a modular compressor muffler. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes a modular compressor silencer, including a silencer cylinder 1. The silencer cylinder 1 includes an inner cylinder 11, and a sound-absorbing layer 12, a support layer 13, and an outer cylinder 14 are sequentially sleeved on the outer side of the inner cylinder 11. The sound-absorbing layer 12 is made of porous fiber materials such as glass wool, rock wool, slag wool, and ceramic wool. These materials have a large number of tiny interconnected pores, providing channels for sound waves to enter and energy to dissipate. The inner cylinder 11 has multiple sets of first through holes 111, and the outer cylinder 14 has multiple sets of second through holes 141. The sound absorption is achieved through the opening of the first through holes 111 and the second through holes 141, in conjunction with the function of the sound-absorbing layer 12. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Furthermore, the aforementioned silencer also includes connecting mechanisms 2 located at both ends of the silencer cylinder 1. These connecting mechanisms 2 connect the silencer cylinder 1 to the media conveying pipeline. The connecting mechanism 2 includes two symmetrically arranged end caps 21, which are respectively fitted onto both ends of the silencer cylinder 1, facilitating connection to the media conveying pipeline. Connecting pipes 22 are installed on the opposite side of each set of end caps 21. Multiple connecting blocks 23 are fixedly connected to the outer ring of each set of end caps 21. Bolts 24 pass through each of the connecting blocks 23, and nuts 25 are threaded onto the bolts 24. After the nuts 25 are tightened, the two sets of end caps 21 are clamped at both ends of the silencer cylinder 1.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 3The aforementioned muffler includes two sets of fastening components 3 mounted on the connecting mechanism 2. These components are located at both ends of the muffler cylinder 1 to secure it and prevent vibrations caused by the gap between the muffler cylinder 1 and the end cap 21 during operation, thus preventing additional noise. Each fastening component 3 includes a fixed ring 31 fixedly connected to the outer ring of the connecting pipe 22. The fixed ring 31 is in a fixed position. A movable ring 32 is threaded onto the outer side of the fixed ring 31, allowing the movable ring 32 to move closer to or further away from the end cap 21 during rotation. A rotating sleeve 33 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable ring 32 away from the end cap 21, facilitating the rotation of the movable ring 32. An annular groove 34 is formed on the outer ring of the movable ring 32, and a synchronizing ring 35 is rotatably connected within the annular groove 34. When the annular groove 34 moves, it drives the synchronizing ring 35 to move synchronously; conversely, when the movable ring 32 rotates, it may not drive the synchronizing ring 35 to rotate. Multiple sets of limiting rods 36 are fixedly connected to the side of the synchronizing ring 35 near the end cap 21. These limiting rods 36 penetrate the end cap 21 and slide against it, with rubber sleeves at their sliding positions. The limiting rods 36 prevent the synchronizing ring 35 from rotating when the moving ring 32 rotates, while ensuring smooth movement of the synchronizing ring 35. A compression ring 37 is fixedly connected to the end of each limiting rod 36 away from the synchronizing ring 35. When the synchronizing ring 35 moves, it drives the compression ring 37 to move synchronously via the limiting rods 36. The compression ring 37 has a right-angled trapezoidal cross-section. Multiple sets of moving blocks 38 are provided on the side of the compression ring 37 near the muffler 1. Each moving block 38 has a right-angled triangular cross-section. The inclined surface of the compression ring 37 contacts the inclined surface of the moving blocks 38. When the compression ring 37 approaches the muffler 1, it compresses the moving blocks 38, causing them to move. A support block 39 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable block 38 near the muffler 1. When the movable block 38 moves, it drives the support block 39 to move synchronously. Multiple sets of support blocks 39 lock the inner cylinder 11 inside the inner cylinder 11 to prevent it from shaking. Multiple sets of slide rods 310 are fixedly connected to the side of the movable block 38 away from the compression ring 37. Fixed blocks 311 are slidably connected to the multiple sets of slide rods 310. A positioning ring 312 is fixedly connected to the side of the multiple sets of fixed blocks 311 near the muffler 1. The positioning ring 312 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end cover 21. The positions of the fixed blocks 311 and the positioning ring 312 are fixed. With the limiting effect of the slide rods 310, the movement of the movable block 38 is stable. A spring 313 is fitted onto the slide rod 310, positioned between the moving block 38 and the fixed block 311. The spring 313's elastic force causes the moving block 38 to move away from the fixed block 311, thus initially distancing the support block 39 from the inner cylinder 11, facilitating the installation of the end cap 21 at the end of the muffler 1. A limit plate 314 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide rod 310 away from the moving block 38 to prevent the slide rod 310 from detaching from the fixed block 311 under the elastic force of the spring 313.

[0032] In this embodiment, firstly, due to the elastic force of the spring 313, the moving block 38 moves away from the fixed block 311, and the support block 39 retracts into the inner wall of the inner cylinder 11. At this time, the end caps 21 can be easily fitted onto both ends of the muffler 1. The two end caps 21 are installed onto both ends of the muffler 1 via the end caps 21, connecting block 23, and bolts 24 of the connecting mechanism 2. Simultaneously, the muffler 1 can be quickly disassembled into the inner cylinder 11, sound-absorbing layer 12, support layer 13, and outer cylinder 14. When the silencing holes are blocked by impurities, the corresponding components can be directly disassembled for cleaning or replacement, avoiding complete replacement and reducing maintenance costs.

[0033] Then, rotating the rotating sleeve 33 drives the moving ring 32 to move along the thread of the fixed ring 31 toward the end cover 21. The synchronizing ring 35 drives the pressing ring 37 to approach the muffler 1 through the limiting rod 36. The inclined surface of the pressing ring 37 pushes the moving block 38 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 313, causing the support block 39 to move radially outward until it is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the inner cylinder 11, thus achieving a gapless locking between the muffler 1 and the end cover 21.

[0034] During operation, when the high-speed airflow generated by the compressor carries noise into the inner cylinder 11, the sound waves enter the sound-absorbing layer 12 through the first through-hole 111. The sound-absorbing layer 12, made of porous fiber materials such as glass wool and rock wool, has a large number of tiny interconnected pores. The sound waves are reflected and rubbed multiple times in the pores, converting sound energy into heat energy for dissipation, thus achieving the first stage of noise reduction. The sound waves attenuated by the sound-absorbing layer 12 continue to pass through the support layer 13 and are finally discharged through the second through-hole 141 of the outer cylinder 14. The staggered arrangement of the first through-hole 111 and the second through-hole 141 forms a resonant cavity structure, which resonates and absorbs noise of specific frequencies, further reducing noise energy and achieving a multi-stage noise reduction effect.

[0035] The above specific embodiments are merely optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
