The application discloses a
noise reduction unit, which comprises a
magneto-rheological
noise reduction layer, an enclosed shell filled with
magneto-rheological fluid, an iron core wrapped outside the enclosed shell, and a conductive coil wound outside the iron core, and an upper substrate and a lower substrate arranged on the upper and lower sides of the
magneto-rheological
noise reduction layer respectively. The application also discloses a
noise reduction unit and a control method. The
noise reduction unit has simple structure, strong versatility, and is suitable for
standardization and
mass production. The
noise reduction unit can be conveniently adjusted according to the shape of the noise reduction target, the environment and other factors. The magneto-rheological noise reduction layer has good sound insulation and noise reduction effect on the wide
frequency band and the high noise of the medium and
low frequency of the industrial complex environment
noise spectrum, and can adjust the noise reduction performance in real time according to the change of the
noise spectrum characteristics caused by the production conditions switching and the like, so as to effectively reduce the
noise exposure level of workers and effectively reduce the occupational health damage caused by high noise.
