Usually the self-oscillation of heat sound is with fundamental frequency starting of oscillation (system energy loss minimum this moment), for under fundamental vibration, realizing the sound field condition of tandem thermoacoustic system, to adopt the long acoustic resonator of all all-waves as shown in Figure 1 is example, form by two sections elongated acoustic resonance pipes and three resonators, two end resonators also can adopt the mode of opening or mobile piston, and middle resonator can guarantee that system is by the fundamental frequency exciting.According to the interference theory that sound wave is propagated, the sound field characteristic of this resonator is as follows:
p 1=[p sa?cos?k′x-ip ta?sin?k′x]e iωt
u 1 = 1 ρ 0 c 0 [ p ta cos k ′ x - ip sa sin k ′ x ] e iωt - - - ( 2 )
p sa=p ia+p ra p ta=p ia-p ra
Wherein: k '=k-i α k=ω/c 0K ' wave vector, Acoustic Boundary Conditions decision wave vector; The α attenuation coefficient.
As seen actual sealing sound field is to be composited p in the formula by standing wave and two kinds of components of row ripple SaAnd p TaThe complex amplitude of representing standing wave composition and row wave component respectively.Fig. 2 is that the waveform space of base frequency oscillation distributes in the long tandem acoustic resonator of a kind of all-wave of right of this patent institute demand, near as can be seen from the figure best two the local high impedance areas of the existence of the point of articulation of listening, and fluctuation acoustic pressure vector that should the zone and the phase difference between the velocity of wave motion vector connect near traveling wave, the suitable regenerator unit of arranging the conversion of efficient heat sound, the gas micelle experiences similar Stirling microcirculation in regenerator, therefore have very high conversion efficiency.
The high frequency heat sound system can reduce the size of whole thermoacoustic devices because wavelength is short, shortens but often local high impedance areas is also corresponding, does not have enough locus to arrange hot sound component section.The present invention proposes a kind of high impedance at existing λ/2 acoustic resonator resonatrons and is provided with the method for logical hollow and annular pipe as the acoustics loop that be attached thereto, design the purpose that reaches prolongation λ/2 acoustic resonator resonatron high resistance regions by rational hollow and annular pipe acoustic impedance, shown in Fig. 7 a.Described hollow and annular pipe is communicated with the acoustic pressure note of intersection point and is p with the resonatron of described λ/2 acoustic resonator J, the volume flow speed note that is communicated with work medium in intersection point place in the resonatron of described λ/2 acoustic resonator is U J, suppose that the volume flow speed of the interior work of the resonatron medium of described λ/2 acoustic resonator is-U originally J, how the rational acoustic construction of bypass makes it to become+U through behind the by-pass port J, high resistance regions can effectively be prolonged like that.Be the way that adopts LC (phonoreception-acoustic capacitance) acoustic construction at present, but the LC proportion is bigger usually, so not only influences the compactedness of system but also can increase the difficulty of whole thermoacoustic system starting of oscillation.This patent proposes the structure that a kind of new loop bypass is regulated for this reason.By analysis to sound field in the hollow and annular pipe, shown in Fig. 7 b, the actual acoustic resonance pipe that is equivalent to a both ends open of whole hollow and annular pipe, two ends have reciprocal velocity perturbation all the time, if in one bifurcations volume flow speed be+U J, along the loop circumferentially deploying, another bifurcations must be-U J, but because this bifurcations also is communicated with the main line, for the main line, be still+U JSo main line volume flow speed has become+U through the fork in the road JThis inevitable requirement loop satisfies certain acoustic impedance condition, promptly shown in the formula (1).
More than explanation the invention has the advantages that:
1. simple in structure, be easy to integratedly, can on high efficiency level, realize higher power output (or refrigeration);
2. the loop bypass measure that prolongs high resistance regions is succinctly feasible.Innovative point of the present invention is to break through traditional hot sound system mentality of designing, the ingenious sound wave propagation law that utilizes, and, guarantee the modulation (comprising prolongation) of the capable wave sound of local high impedance field with compact more novel acoustic construction by analysis to the sound field regularity of distribution and impedance matching feature.This is a kind of hot machine of travelling-wave type heat sound of being avoided the loss of lucky sound direct current, is different from the capable ripple machine of the annular ring structure of present thermo-acoustic technology fully.
