So, the air-flow for being reflected via reflecting plate 11 can be then exhausted from cold silencer cover 1 by air draft sound gobo 9, so as to be greatly reduced
Noise, comprehensive Noise Reduction reaches more than 25dB.It is possible to further be provided be arranged alternately 45 nine pieces of short air draft sound gobos of length
9, and its bottom is provided with chamfering, is easy to air-flow to discharge.
Thus, easy for installation according to cold silencer cover 1 of the present utility model, noise reduction substantially, can be by cold ventilating fan
12 noises for producing effectively reduce more than 25dB.
As shown in figure 4, the inner surface of side plate 15 is also provided with air intake kicker baffle 8, air intake kicker baffle 8 be located at into
At air port, and air intake kicker baffle 8 extends internally one end distance, and the end of air intake kicker baffle 8 from the inner surface of side plate 15
Portion can also be provided with chamfering, be easy to the guiding of air intake air-flow.
Thus, as shown by the arrows in figure 4, the air-flow in from air inlet into cold silencer cover 1 is by positioned at its air inlet
Up and down, the air intake kicker baffle 8 that left and right or surrounding are set is guided, and can be reflected to move down by wind deflector 10, so that
Compressor position is flowed through, and is discharged out via air draft sound gobo 9 eventually through the cavity that reflecting plate 11 and wind deflector 10 are formed
Air port 2.It is understood that the bottom of cold silencer cover 1 can be guided into the air-flow of cold silencer cover 1 from air inlet
Flowing so that air-flow can be rapidly achieved cold compressor where lower area, to ensure compressor normal work.
Please now go to Fig. 8, alternatively, above-mentioned end plate 14, side plate 15 and top board 16 from outside to inside successively by aluminium sheet 21,
Foaming layer 22, quieter material 23, non-woven fabrics 24 and punching dividing plate 25 are constituted.Also, as illustrated, end plate 14, side plate 15 and
It is settable in the middle of top board 16 to have multiple skeletons 26 (such as C-channel or U-lag) being correspondingly arranged to support cold silencer cover 1.Aluminium
Plate 21 or the grade of punching dividing plate 25 can be connected by the such as connector of self threading pin 27 with skeleton 26.Two skeletons 26 being oppositely arranged
Between be also provided with fluid sealant 28, further to reduce noise.
And as shown in figure 9, optionally as well, above-mentioned reflecting plate 11, wind deflector 10, air intake kicker baffle 8, air draft noise reduction
Dividing plate 9 from outside to inside successively can be by the non-woven fabrics 32 of the punching dividing plate 31, outside in outside, the nonwoven of quieter material 33, inner side
The punching dividing plate 31 of cloth 32 and inner side is constituted, to form multilayer (five layers) structure, and the non-woven fabrics 32 of punching dividing plate 31 and inner side
Quieter material 33 can be connected to by self threading pin 34.
Also, as needed, above-mentioned quieter material can be rock wool or polyester silencing cotton or aerosil, its
With preferable sound-absorbing effect.
In a kind of optional embodiment, alternatively, as illustrated in figs. 10 a and 10b, air inlet is provided with air inlet blinds
