Definitions
- the invention relates to an acoustic attenuation system for a tube used for the flow of gas and more particularly for an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine, see DE 20003519 U1.
- Car manufacturers tend to improve the acoustic qualities of their vehicles.
- noise include the noise emitted by the engine at the corrector of the exhaust duct.
- the exhaust line cooperates with the engine and drives most of the acoustic waves of the latter. These waves cause the output of the muffler loud noise harmful to the hearing of people in the vehicle.
- a "resonator" It is also known to mount, parallel to said exhaust duct and upstream of said silencer, a "resonator". It generally comprises a tube which connects said conduit to a closed cavity which allows the reflection of the waves to further attenuate them.
- a "resonator” is very effective only for a small frequency range (the range being optimized by the choice of dimensions of said resonator) and may outside this range change the structure of the noise over the rest of the frequency range .
- the object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing an acoustic attenuation system which, according to the frequency of the waves present in the exhaust duct, changes configuration to generally improve the attenuation on a wide frequency range.
- the invention relates to an acoustic attenuation system, in particular for an internal combustion engine exhaust duct, comprising a means of the silent type mounted in series on said duct, at least one means of the resonator type connected in parallel.
- the shunt device comprises, according to the invention, a second tube connecting said closed cavity for each of said resonator-type means and said duct, a first means for closing one of said tubes and a second means for closing said duct between openings of said two tubes for selectively closing said conduit to force the deflection of its flow to one of said tubes.
- the two closure means are, advantageously, valves of the electromagnetic type.
- Each tube, containing said closure means advantageously comprises according to the invention, at its end contained in said cavity holes to allow the improvement of sound absorption.
- said attenuation system further includes means for detecting the speed of said motor, making it possible to deduce the frequency of the waves in said exhaust duct in order to control the actuation of said device. bypass.
- the acoustic attenuation system 1 comprises a duct 2 which may, for example, be an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine, a means of the silent type 3 such explained above and an acoustic assembly 4.
- said acoustic assembly comprises a first tube 5 and a second tube 6 which both communicate with the conduit 2 by the holes 7 and 8 respectively on the surface of the latter.
- these tubes 5 and 6 may, for example, be welded directly to the duct 2.
- the tubes 5 and 6 also communicate with a closed cavity 9.
- a portion 10 and 11 of each of the tubes 5 and 6 penetrate inside the cavity 9. to be able to add, as in the example of Figure 2, a perforated section 12 in extension of the end 11 of one of the tubes 6 so as to better absorb the acoustic waves present in the cavity 9.
- the dimensions of the cavity 9, the duct 2, the silent means 3 and the tubes 5 and 6 are chosen as a function of the location of implantation but especially as a function of the waves transmitted in the duct 2.
- the efficiency the attenuation shown in the example of FIGS. 3a and 4a is directly dependent on the dimensions of the elements of the acoustic attenuation system 1.
- the tube 6 and the conduit 2 each comprise a closure means respectively 13 and 14.
- these means allow controlled obstruction of the conduit 2 and / or the tube 6.
- the closing means 13 and 14 are electromagnetic valves capable of being controlled by one or more computers (not shown ).
- the closure means 14 is placed in the conduit 2 between the two holes 7 and 8 so that when it obstructs the conduit 2, the flow A flowing in the latter is forced to continue its course towards the tube 5.
- the tube 5-cavity assembly 9 forms a means of the resonator type as explained above. Therefore a bypass system 15, having the closure means 13 and 14 and the tube 6, makes it possible to operate the acoustic assembly 4 either as a means of the silent type or as a means of the resonator type. Thus according to the frequency of the main acoustic waves in the conduit 2, the closing means 13 and 14 are activated to change configuration.
- the closure means 13 is closed and the closure means 14 is open.
- the acoustic assembly 4 is therefore in its configuration of the resonator type.
- Curve 3b represents the transmission loss at the outlet of the duct relative to the incoming one as a function of the transmission frequency waves. It is clearly seen that for frequencies up to 400 Hertz the attenuation is substantially between 40 and 50 dB and above 400 Hertz substantially stabilized at 30 dB.
- the closure means 13 is open and the 14 is closed.
- the acoustic assembly 4 is therefore in its configuration of the silent type.
- the curve 4b represents the transmission loss at the output of the duct 2 with respect to that coming as a function of the frequency of emission of the waves. It can be seen that for frequencies up to about 700 Hertz the attenuation is substantially around 30 dB and reaches above 700 Hertz at least substantially 40 dB.
- the threshold frequency of the main waves to be taken into account to switch from one configuration to another appears to be substantially 700 Hertz.
- the acoustic assembly 4 in its resonator mode as shown in FIG. 3a and for the other frequencies (in the example in FIG. above 700 Hertz), in its silent mode as shown in Figure 4a.
- a better acoustic attenuation system 1 is obtained over a wide frequency range by controlling the deflection device 15 as a function of the threshold frequency, which itself is a function of the overall geometry of the duct 2.
- the frequency of the waves present in the duct 2 can be compared with the threshold frequency by a computer via a sensor, but for example if the duct 2 is an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine, the frequency of the waves present in the duct 2 can be estimated from the regime of said motor which is substantially proportional.
- the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
- the section of the conduit 2 is not limited in form.
- the perforated section 12 may for example be replaced by a bent or U-shaped tube having holes and connecting the end 11 of the tube 6 to the end 10 of the tube 5 inside the cavity 9. This can make it possible to form a one-piece assembly 5, 12, 6 which would be a non-rectilinear tube having holes at the portion included in the cavity 9.
- the closing means 13 and 14 can also be means of pneumatic, electromechanical or mechanical type.
