Description

Silencer

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a technical field of making an uproar falls in the damping, particularly relates to a silencer.

Background

Mufflers are mainly classified into three major categories according to their structural principles, namely reactive mufflers, resistive mufflers, and composite mufflers. The reactive muffler has good muffling effect on middle and low frequency noise, but has narrow muffling frequency band and poor muffling effect on high frequency noise. The resistive muffler is the opposite. The composite muffler combines the resistance structure and the resistance structure together to obtain broadband muffling effect from low frequency to high frequency. However, the muffler design is required to meet the requirements of two main performance indexes, namely aerodynamic performance and acoustic performance, and also to consider the requirements of the structure, the material, the use environment, the installation space and the like.

At present, marine internal combustion engines need to reduce exhaust gas temperature in addition to exhaust gas noise. This requires the incorporation of cooling capacity into the exhaust muffler. However, the aerodynamic performance, the acoustic performance and the structural size of the silencer are mutually connected and contradictory and restricted. The exhaust cooling muffler further increases the cooling capacity as compared with the exhaust muffler, further exacerbating this conflict.

Therefore, the existing common exhaust cooling muffler often cannot balance the contradiction, and has the defects of large size, heavy weight, poor noise elimination performance, narrow noise elimination frequency band, large pressure drop and the like.

Therefore, there is a need for a muffler that at least partially addresses the above problems.

Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, a muffler of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. Which is generally comprised of a housing 110, an inner barrel 130, and an intake pipe 160. One or more intake pipes 160 may be provided. For example, since two exhaust ports are usually provided in a diesel engine, the number of the intake pipes 160 is preferably two. Therefore, the pressure loss caused by the fact that the exhaust pipes connecting the two exhaust ports of the diesel engine are converged outside the muffler and then enter the muffler can be reduced.

One end of the housing 110 is configured as an outlet end 111, and an air outlet 113 is provided at the outlet end 111. The other end is configured as a closed end 112, and the closed end 112 is opposite the outlet end 111. The inner barrel 130 is disposed within the housing 110, spaced apart from the inner wall 116 of the housing 110.

Preferably, at least two support ribs 150 are connected between the inner cylinder 130 and the sidewall of the housing 110 to support the inner cylinder 130. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, four support ribs 150 are provided, and the four support ribs 150 are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the inner tube 130. It will be readily appreciated that three, five, six or more support ribs 150 may be provided, without limitation.

The inner barrel 130 has an expansion chamber that preferably opens toward the closed end 112. And the intake pipe 160 communicates with the expansion chamber.

Also, a space between the sidewall of the inner tube 130 and the sidewall of the housing 110 forms a return air path 114, and the return air path 114 is communicated to the expansion chamber and a space between the outlet end 111 of the housing 110 and an end portion of the inner tube 130 near the outlet end 111.

Preferably, the end of the inner barrel 130 near the closed end 112 is provided with a bent portion 134 configured to protrude radially inward. Specifically, it is configured to be bent radially inward and abut against the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder 130. Such that the inner diameter of the inner barrel 130 at the bend 134 decreases and then increases in a direction toward the closed end 112. Alternatively, the end of the inner barrel 130 adjacent the closed end 112 may be configured as a constriction having a substantially circular arc-shaped tip. This facilitates the backflow of gas into the return airway 114 at an angle of 180 deg., reducing drag losses.

Thus, the gas enters the expansion cavity of the inner barrel 130 from the gas inlet pipe 160 to perform noise elimination, then flows towards the closed end 112 of the shell 110, enters the return gas passage 114, returns to the outlet end 111, and is discharged through the gas outlet 113. Such a backflow structure relieves the restriction of the size of the muffler in the length direction, increases the muffling stroke of sound waves, and gains a cooling space. Make the utility model discloses a silencer 100 compares with current silencer, has better noise elimination performance and cooling performance under the same condition of length dimension.

The space between the outlet end 111 of the housing 110 and the end of the inner tube 130 near the outlet end 111 can then form a third expansion chamber 115. The third expansion chamber 115 communicates with the return airway 114.

Therefore, the gas enters the inner barrel 130 from the gas inlet pipe 160, sequentially flows through the first expansion chamber 132 and the second expansion chamber 133, enters the return gas duct 114, passes through the third expansion chamber 115, and is discharged through the gas outlet 113. The effect of a plurality of expansion cavities is superposed, and the noise elimination performance of the silencer 100 is further improved.

Please continue with fig. 1. Because the above-mentioned expansion chamber mainly used the elimination of low frequency noise, in order to widen the utility model discloses a noise elimination frequency band, preferably install dash section of thick bamboo 140 in inner tube 130.

A plurality of counterpunches 142 are opened to the side wall of the counterpunch barrel 140 to allow the gas entering the first expansion chamber 132 to counterpunch. Preferably, the plurality of punched counter holes 142 may be uniformly arranged in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the punch cylinder 140.

Thus, the gas enters the inner gas duct 141 from the gas inlet pipe 160, enters the first expansion chamber 132 through the pair of punched holes 142, and then enters the subsequent second expansion chamber 133 and the return gas duct 114. The hedging of the gas further reduces the resistance loss so that the sound attenuation band of the first expansion chamber 132 becomes the middle and high frequency band. Furthermore, the hedging structure widens the muffling frequency band of the muffling performance of the muffler 100 of the present invention.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, to further control pressure loss, the inner barrel 130 is also provided with a transition duct 144. Which is located between the intake duct 160 and the inner air duct 141, and the transition air duct 144 is disposed obliquely with respect to both the intake duct 160 and the inner air duct 141.

In summary, the inner barrel 130 is preferably constructed as a single piece. Which in turn is a helmholtz resonator 131, a first expansion chamber 132 and a second expansion chamber 133 from the end near the outlet end 111 to the end near the closed end 112. Wherein a bottom wall of the first expansion chamber 132 separates the helmholtz resonator 131 from the first expansion chamber 132, which bottom wall is conical, i.e. forms a conical transition duct 144 with the thrust cylinder 140, the bottom wall of which is also conical. In the illustrated embodiment, two inlet pipes 160 pass through the inner barrel 130 into the helmholtz resonator 131 and are connected to the apex of the bottom wall of the first expansion chamber 132. And return airway 114 encloses a helmholtz resonator 131, a first expansion chamber 132, and a second expansion chamber 133. A third expansion chamber 115 communicating with return gas duct 114 is located between the gas outlet end and the helmholtz resonator 131.
