Detailed description of the invention
First embodiment
As
Shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, a kind of noise reduction structure of motor, including the motor cover 1 of accommodating motor 9, by entering in described motor cover 1 Air port 2 includes dynamic impeller cavity 4 and silencing cavity 5 successively to air outlet 3, is provided with movable impeller component 41 in described dynamic impeller cavity 4, described Being provided with the first noise elimination part 6 and the second noise elimination part 7 in silencing cavity 5, described first noise elimination part 6 includes oblique grid, is arranged on described Described second noise elimination part 7 in the first noise elimination part 6 downstream includes the Process 71 being arranged on described air outlet 3 and is arranged on described Quieter material 72 inside air outlet 3.In the present embodiment, motor cover 1 include fan housing 11 and with the disappearing of fan housing 11 sealing engagement Sound cover 12, dynamic impeller cavity 4 is arranged in fan housing 11, and silencing cavity 5 is arranged in silencer cover 12, and air inlet 2 is arranged on fan housing 11 Lower end, air outlet 3 is arranged on the upper end of silencer cover 12.In this embodiment, the outside of air inlet 2 is additionally provided with air intake grid 21.
As
Fig. 3,
Shown in Fig. 4, being provided with oblique grid in silencer cover 12, oblique grid is along the circle distribution of silencer cover 12, and by noise reduction Silencing cavity 5 in cover 12 is divided into silencer cover exocoel and silencer cover inner chamber, and wherein the radius of silencer cover exocoel is more than silencer cover inner chamber Radius, and silencer cover exocoel is positioned at the upstream of silencer cover inner chamber.Air-flow enters noise reduction from silencer cover exocoel through oblique grid Cover inner chamber.Oblique grid includes the narrow air channel 62 formed between oblique panel 61 and adjacent two oblique panels 61, narrow air channel 62 Bearing of trend and the radial direction of silencer cover 12 between there is certain angle, the minimum widith in narrow air channel 62 is not more than 3mm. Air-flow is carded to multiple stingy a fluid stream by narrow air channel 62, make the power dissipation of air-flow in stingy a fluid stream, due to narrow air channel 62 Minimum widith is not more than 3mm, so stingy a fluid stream is relatively thin close, the energy of each stingy a fluid stream is relatively small, is effectively reduced The generation that wind is made an uproar.Simultaneously as it is at an angle, i.e. between the bearing of trend in narrow air channel 62 and the radial direction of silencer cover 12 Stingy a fluid stream is tangentially through silencer cover, it is possible to is effectively reduced air-flow frontal impact radially, drops low wind noise further.
In certain embodiments, the minimum widith in different narrow air channels 62 is not exclusively etc..In other embodiments, different narrow wind The minimum widith in road 62 is the most unequal;Further, in a further embodiment, any two is different narrow air channel 62 is Little width is divided by not for integer, it is possible to reach more preferable de-noising effect.In the present embodiment, the quantity in narrow air channel 62 is set to matter Number, it is possible to be effectively prevented the generation of resonance, and then strengthen erasure effect.In the present embodiment, the windward side of oblique panel 61 For cambered surface, oblique panel 61 is become narrow gradually towards its lee face windward by it, and the most oblique panel 61 is substantially in streamlined, it is possible to have Effect reduces windage, strengthens erasure effect.In the present embodiment, Process 71 is arranged at air outlet 3, the hole of Process 71 Footpath is not more than 3mm, and the aperture of Process 71 is not completely equivalent, and the degree of depth of Process 71 is not completely equivalent, Process 71 Asymmetricly be distributed at described air outlet 3, and the distance between borehole of Process 71 be not completely equivalent, air-flow air outlet 3 via Process 71 is spouting, it is possible to is effectively reduced wind and makes an uproar.In other embodiments, the aperture of Process 71 the most not phase Deng;In other embodiments, the hole depth of Process 71 is the most unequal;Further, in other embodiments, any two Being divided by the aperture of Process 71 is not integer, and the hole depth of any two Process 71 is divided by not for integer;Implement at other In example, Process 71 is asymmetricly distributed at described air outlet 3, and its distance between borehole is the most unequal, all can realize more preferably De-noising effect.Being filled with quieter material 72 inside air outlet 3, in the present embodiment, quieter material 72 is silencing cotton, and it is filled out Fill between oblique grid and Process 71.
The noise reduction structure of motor of the present embodiment also includes being arranged between dynamic impeller cavity 4 and silencing cavity 5 as shown in Figure 5 Electric machine support 8, i.e. electric machine support 8 are arranged between fan housing 11 and silencer cover 12.Motor 9 is arranged on electric machine support 8, and motor props up Frame 8 also includes the dynamic impeller cavity air outlet 81 being arranged between its outer rim 84 and inner edge 85, and air-flow is only capable of being gone out by dynamic impeller cavity The driven impeller cavity in air port 81 4 enters silencing cavity 5.In the present embodiment, dynamic impeller cavity air outlet 81 includes tangential grid, tangential grid Lattice include the gap 83 formed between tangential panel 82 and adjacent two tangential panels 82.The setting of tangential grid can reduce dynamic Low wind noise, drops in the air resistance coefficient of impeller cavity 4 further.In the present embodiment, the quantity in gap 83 is and movable impeller component 41 Low wind noise, drops in the unequal prime number of blade quantity, it is possible to be effectively prevented resonance further.In the present embodiment, gap 83 Width be not completely equivalent.In a further embodiment, the width in gap 83 is the most unequal, it is possible to realize more preferable de-noising effect Really.In a further embodiment, the width in arbitrary gap 83 is unequal with the minimum widith in arbitrary narrow air channel 62.Further Ground, in a further embodiment, the width in arbitrary gap 83 is the most unequal with the minimum widith in arbitrary narrow air channel 62, does not exists Integral multiple relation, i.e. gap 83 are a, and the width in narrow air channel 62 is b, then need to meet a/b for integer and b/a for integer.
As shown in Figure 6, Figure 7, in figure, arrow represents airflow direction.Air-flow enters the movable vane wheel in fan housing 11 from air inlet 2 Chamber 4, after movable impeller component 41, then by the dynamic impeller cavity air outlet 81 on electric machine support 8, enters disappearing in silencer cover 12 Sound chamber 5, passes sequentially through oblique grid and quieter material, finally spouting by the Process 71 being arranged on air outlet 3.
The present embodiment also includes a kind of vacuum cleaner, and the head section of this vacuum cleaner includes above-mentioned noise reduction structure of motor.
Second embodiment
As shown in Figure 8, the noise reduction structure of motor of the present embodiment is essentially identical with the structure of first embodiment, and difference is noise reduction It is provided only with the first noise elimination part 6 in cover 12, is i.e. provided only with oblique grid.
3rd embodiment
