Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a range hood 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a noise reduction part 100 and an air draft device 200.

Referring to fig. 3, 4 and 5, a noise reduction component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cylinder 10 and a noise reduction module 20. The cylinder 10 is formed with a flow passage 12. The muffler module 20 includes a plurality of tone generators 22, the plurality of tone generators 22 are disposed at intervals on the inner wall of the cylinder 10 along the circumferential direction of the cylinder 10, wherein when the first sound wave X is conducted in the flow channel 12, the plurality of tone generators 22 are configured to generate a second sound wave Y, the phase of the second sound wave Y is opposite to the phase of the first sound wave X, and the amplitude of the second sound wave Y is the same as the amplitude of the first sound wave X to reduce the loudness formed by the first sound wave X.

According to the noise reduction part 100 and the range hood 1000 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the sound wave generated by the audio generator 22 is utilized to weaken noise, so that noise reduction can be simply and conveniently realized, the noise reduction effect is good, and the user experience is favorably improved.

It can be understood that when the range hood 1000 is in operation, the air extracting device 200 needs to operate at a high speed to form a negative pressure region in a certain space range above the stove, so as to suck indoor oil smoke gas into the range hood 1000. Therefore, the range hood 1000 may generate a large noise, which affects user experience.

Note that the broken lines in fig. 2 and 4 represent sound waves.

The noise reduction part 100 and the range hood 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention mainly reduce noise from two aspects, namely, physical noise reduction and electronic noise reduction. Physical noise reduction refers to noise reduction by physical methods such as isolation. Electronic noise reduction is the neutralization of noise by generating a reverse sound wave equal to the ambient noise.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic noise reduction is mainly performed by destructively interfering the first sound wave X generated by the range hood 1000 and the second sound wave Y having an opposite phase thereto. Through electronic noise reduction, the noise reduction part 100 and the range hood 1000 of the embodiment of the invention can reduce the noise by at least 8 dB.

In one example, the noise before noise reduction is 50dB, and the noise after noise reduction is 42dB, that is, the noise is reduced by 8 dB; in another example, the noise before noise reduction is 56dB, and the noise after noise reduction is 46dB, that is, the noise is reduced by 10 dB; in yet another example, the noise before noise reduction is 62dB and the noise after noise reduction is 50dB, i.e., the noise is reduced by 12 dB.

Alternatively, the tone generator 22 may be of the magneto-electric, piezoelectric or other type. The tone generator 22 may cause the audio power to vibrate the cone or diaphragm and resonate (resonate) with the surrounding air to produce sound through electromagnetic, piezoelectric, or electrostatic effects.

The cylindrical body 10 may be cylindrical, square cylindrical, or other shapes. The shape of the cylinder 10 is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the number of the sound deadening modules 20 is plural, and the plural sound deadening modules 20 are provided at intervals in the axial direction of the flow passage 12.

Thus, the noise reduction effect can be better. It will be appreciated that in practical applications, noise will generally remain after a single reduction, and that multiple noise reduction modules 20 spaced axially along the flow passage 12 can be provided to further reduce noise.

In one example, 2 sound attenuation modules 20 are spaced axially along the flow passage 12; in another example, 3 sound attenuation modules 20 are provided at intervals in the axial direction of the flow passage 12; in yet another example, 4 sound attenuation modules 20 are spaced axially along the flow passage 12. For convenience of description, 3 silencing modules 20 are taken as an example in this embodiment. It should be noted that the number of the cancellation modules 20 is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, multiple tone generators 22 are spaced along the same circumference of the barrel 10.

Note that, specifically, the plurality of sound generators 22 of the same sound deadening module 20 are disposed at intervals along the same circumferential direction of the cylinder 10. When the barrel 10 is cylindrical, the plurality of tone generators 22 are arranged in the same circumferential direction of the barrel 10.

In one example, each silencing module 20 includes 6 tone generators 22; in another example, each silencing module 20 includes 8 tone generators 22; in yet another example, each muffler module 20 includes 10 tone generators 22. For convenience of description, each silencing module 20 includes 8 audio generators 22 in this embodiment. It is noted that the number of tone generators 22 included in each of the muting modules 20 is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the plurality of tone generators 22 are arranged at equal angular intervals along the same circumferential direction.

In this way, the distribution of the second sound wave Y emitted by the tone generator 22 can be made more uniform. It can be understood that a plurality of audio generators 22 are arranged along the same circumferential direction at equal angular intervals, so that the intervals of the plurality of audio generators 22 in the same circumferential direction are consistent and uniformly distributed, and the distribution of the second sound waves Y emitted by the plurality of audio generators 22 is more uniform, so that the noise reduction effect is better. Of course, the plurality of tone generators 22 may be disposed at unequal angular intervals in the same circumferential direction. There is no limitation on whether the plurality of tone generators 22 are arranged at equal angular intervals in the same circumferential direction.

In some embodiments, the noise reduction member 100 includes a sound collector 30 disposed in the flow passage 12, and the sound collector 30 is configured to collect the first sound wave X.

In some embodiments, a plurality of tone generators 22 are enclosed with a noise reduction zone 24, and a sound collector 30 is disposed proximate to the noise reduction zone 24.

Thus, the acquisition of the first sound wave X is realized. It can be appreciated that referring to fig. 6, the audio generator 22 of the noise reduction assembly 100 emits the second sound wave Y opposite in phase to the first sound wave X to make the first sound wave X and the second sound wave Y audio frequency collide with each other, and therefore, the first sound wave X needs to be collected to ascertain the characteristics of the first sound wave X, so that the controller 60 controls the audio generator 22 of the noise reduction assembly 100 to emit the second sound wave Y opposite in phase to the first sound wave X.

Specifically, after the user starts the range hood 1000, the range hood 1000 starts to work and generate noise, the controller 60 controls the sound collector 30 to collect the first sound wave X, then controls the audio generator 22 to generate the second sound wave Y with the same amplitude and the opposite phase as the first sound wave X according to the first sound wave X, and finally the controller 60 controls the audio generator 22 to emit the second sound wave Y.

In some embodiments, the noise reduction feature 100 further includes a bulk acoustic dampening element 40 integrally disposed on the inner wall 14, the bulk acoustic dampening element 40 for absorbing sound within the flow path 12, the bulk acoustic dampening element 40 integrally covering the inner wall 14.

Thus, noise is further reduced. It will be appreciated that the second sound wave Y emitted by the audio generator 22, which is in phase opposition to the first sound wave X, is primarily intended to reduce the regularity of the noise and/or low frequency noise, but less effective in reducing the noise of sudden and/or high frequency noise. Therefore, a fluffy noise dampening element 40 is required to further treat the noise.

Fig. 7 is a schematic illustration of the noise reduction of the fluffy acoustical element 40 of an embodiment of the present invention. In particular, the fluffy noise reduction element 40 may be made of a material having a relatively low density and having a porous structure, such as sponge, activated carbon, and slag wool. Materials such as sponge, active carbon and mineral wool porous and hole are mostly inside open pore that link up each other, and the sound wave receives air molecule friction and viscous resistance when deepening the hole of material, can make tiny fiber do mechanical vibration to make sound energy change into heat energy, and then realize the effect of making an uproar.

It should be noted that the integral placement of the bulk acoustic suppression element 40 on the inner wall 14 means: the fluffy dampening element 40 substantially completely covers the inner wall 14.

In certain embodiments, the lofty sound attenuating element 40 includes a sound attenuating surface 42, the sound attenuating surface 42 being opposite the inner wall 14; the sound deadening surface 42 is wavy in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 10. Therefore, the noise reduction effect is better.

Further, in some embodiments, the sound attenuating surface 42 is also wavy in the axial direction of the barrel 10.

In some embodiments, a plurality of audio generators 22 are embedded within the lofty sound attenuating element 40. Therefore, the noise reduction effect can be better when the space is reasonably utilized.

In some embodiments, the flow channel 12 is formed with an exhaust opening 122, the noise reduction feature 100 includes a rectifying element 50 disposed adjacent to the exhaust opening 122, the rectifying element 50 is formed with a plurality of rectifying holes 52 in communication with the flow channel 12, and the plurality of rectifying holes 52 are arranged in an array.

Therefore, the plurality of rectifying holes 52 can rectify the flocculated airflow to form a stable airflow, and the amplitude of the sound wave is weakened accordingly, so that the purpose of reducing noise is achieved.

In one example, the rectifying element 50 may be made of activated carbon. The activated carbon is a very fine carbon particle having a large surface area, and thus, the activated carbon can be sufficiently contacted with air. In addition, there are finer pores, capillaries, in the carbon granules. The capillary has strong adsorption capacity, and impurities in the air can be adsorbed when contacting the capillary, so that the air is purified. The activated carbon adsorption method has the advantages of wide application, mature process, safety, reliability and more types of absorbed substances, and the rectifying element 50 made of activated carbon is arranged at the position close to the exhaust port 122, so that the method is simple and convenient, can further reduce noise, and is also favorable for further evolving air and removing peculiar smell.

In addition, the phrase "the plurality of rectifying holes 52 are arranged in an array" may refer to that the plurality of rectifying holes 52 are in a two-dimensional rectangular array with two vertical rows and two vertical axes, may refer to that the plurality of rectifying holes 52 are in a three-dimensional rectangular array with three vertical axes, may refer to that the plurality of rectifying holes 52 are in a circular array with uniform divergence from the center of the circle, and may refer to that the plurality of rectifying holes 52 are in other arrays. The form of the array formed by the plurality of rectifying holes 52 is not limited herein.

The rectifying holes 52 may be circular, square, or any irregular shape. The shape of the rectifier hole 52 is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in an example, the rectifying element 50 is a cylinder, the thickness a of the rectifying element 50 is 38-45mm, and the diameter B is 145-150 mm; and/or the cross-sectional area S of each of the rectifying holes 52 is 20-30mm²And the center-to-center distance C between two adjacent rectifying holes 52 is 5-8 mm.

Please note that "the thickness A of the rectifying element 50 is 38-45mm, and the diameter B is 145-150 mm; and/or the cross-sectional area S of each of the rectifying holes 52 is 20-30mm²The center-to-center distance C of two adjacent rectification holes 52 of 5 to 8mm "includes three cases:

in the first case, the thickness A of the rectifying element 50 is 38-45mm, and the diameter B is 145-150 mm;

in the second case, the cross-sectional area S of each of the rectifying holes 52 is 20 to 30mm²The center distance C between two adjacent rectifying holes 52 is 5-8 mm;

in the third case, the thickness A of the rectifying element 50 is 38-45mm, the diameter B is 145-150mm, and the sectional area S of each rectifying hole 52 is 20-30mm²And the center-to-center distance C between two adjacent rectifying holes 52 is 5-8 mm.

In one example, the fairing element 50 has a thickness A of 38mm and a diameter B of 145 mm; in another example, the fairing element 50 has a thickness A of 45mm and a diameter B of 150 mm; in yet another example, the fairing element 50 has a thickness A of 41mm and a diameter B of 147 mm.
