Noise Reduction Structure for Power Source Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing noise reduction structures for power sources fail to effectively absorb vibrations due to deformation of buffer members under uneven tightening forces, leading to increased noise and instability in mounting.
Innovation Solution
A noise reduction structure comprising a buffer member with transverse extensions and a support portion made of rigid materials, along with a connecting member that engages with the buffer member to prevent deformation and ensure even distribution of forces, allowing the fixing rod to separate from the fixing plate, thereby reducing noise and improving mounting stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If buffer members are mounted between the power source and fixing plate to reduce vibration noise, then noise reduction is improved, but the buffer members are pressed and deformed by tight nut threading, adversely affecting vibration absorbing effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a connecting member as an intermediary between the fixing rod and the buffer member. This connecting member includes a pressing portion that contacts the buffer member and a fixing portion that engages with the fixing rod, thereby mediating the force transmission and preventing direct pressing of the buffer member by the nut, thus preserving its vibration absorbing effect
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting member is divided into distinct functional portions: a pressing portion for contacting the buffer member, a fixing portion for engaging with the fixing rod, and a protrusion for structural support. This segmentation allows each portion to perform its specific function independently, ensuring the buffer member is protected while maintaining connection stability
2Stability of the object's composition
If buffer members are mounted at multiple locations to firmly connect power source to fixing plate, then mounting stability is improved, but non-uniform tightening forces cause non-uniform deformation of buffer members, increasing noise
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting member acts as an intermediary that distributes and equalizes the tightening forces across multiple buffer members. By engaging with the fixing rod through a standardized interface, it ensures uniform force application to each buffer member, preventing non-uniform deformation and maintaining low noise levels
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs identical connecting members at multiple mounting locations, ensuring homogeneous force distribution. Each connecting member interacts with its corresponding buffer member in the same manner, guaranteeing uniform compression and consistent vibration absorption across all mounting points, thereby preventing noise increase
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The structure effectively reduces noise by preventing buffer member deformation and ensuring uniform force distribution, enhancing the vibration absorption capability and stability during mounting.
Implementation Method 1
mount a buffer member, such as the buffer members 5, 5′ between the power source 2 and the fixing plate 3 so as to reduce the noise due to the vibration generated by the power source 2
Implementation Method 2
since the buffer members 5, 5′ are elastic, if the nut is threaded too tightly by an operator, the buffer members 5, 5′ will be pressed and deformed
