Definitions
- the invention relates to a speaker system for a motor vehicle with at least one speaker according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such speaker systems are known from the general state of the art. Due to the limited installation space conditions while the speaker is placed outside the interior or passenger compartment of the vehicle and the generated sound waves are introduced via a pipe into the passenger compartment. The problem with this is, however, that in the states in which the speaker system is not operated, unwanted noise, for example, from the engine compartment, can penetrate into the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, since the speaker membrane is not able to provide sufficient sound insulation.
- the inventive sound damping device which is connected to the pipeline, the sound transmission of the pipeline can be reduced, thereby preventing that additional, unwanted noise can pass through the pipe into the passenger compartment.
- the loudspeaker system according to the invention thus represents a very easy to implement solution for preventing noise problems for cases in which it is necessary, for example, for space reasons to arrange a speaker outside the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and connect by means of a pipe to the passenger compartment.
- a particularly good sound attenuation is achieved when the at least one Sound damping device is arranged directly in at least one of the pipes.
- Such an arrangement of the sound damping device within a pipeline is also structurally particularly easy to implement.
- the at least one sound damping device is connected via at least one connecting line with at least one of the pipes. This makes it possible to arrange the sound damping device at a location independent of the pipeline within the motor vehicle, which can represent a considerable advantage, especially in tight space conditions.
- the at least one connecting line with at least one shut-off device can be closed. In this way, the effect of the sound damping device can be switched off by the shut-off device disconnects the same.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the loudspeaker system according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the loudspeaker system according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of the plate damping device for the loudspeaker system according to the invention
- 4 shows a second embodiment of the plate damping device for the loudspeaker system according to the invention
- 5 shows a third embodiment of the sound damping device for the loudspeaker system according to the invention.
- FIG. 6 shows a fourth embodiment of the sound damping device for the loudspeaker system according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a speaker system 1 for a motor vehicle, not shown in its entirety. From the motor vehicle, an engine compartment 2, ie the space in which the internal combustion engine, not shown, of the motor vehicle is arranged, a passenger compartment 3 and an end wall 4 separating the passenger compartment 3 from the engine compartment 2 are shown.
- a loudspeaker 5 is shown in the present case, which is arranged outside of the passenger compartment 3 in a so-called water box 6 of the motor vehicle, which is separated from the engine compartment 2 by a wall 7.
- the loudspeaker 5 is connected to the passenger compartment 3 by means of a pipeline 8, of which part 8a runs through the end wall 4.
- a portion 8b of the pipe 8 also extends from the speaker 5, starting in the opposite direction and extends through the wall 7 in the engine compartment 2, whereby the volume available to the speaker 5 is increased because the speaker 5 via this part 8b of Pipe 8 and the volume of the engine compartment 2 is available. It is therefore an open speaker system.
- loudspeakers 5 designed as subwoofers outside the passenger compartment 3 and to connect them via the pipeline 8 to the passenger compartment 3 and the engine compartment 2.
- the term "pipe” stands for all structures that are able to connect the speaker 5 acoustically with a room in which the speaker 5 itself is not arranged.
- the speaker system 1 may have more than the one speaker 5, which may be arranged at any location, not shown, in the motor vehicle. These other speakers do not necessarily have one have open construction.
- the loudspeaker 5 can also be arranged at a completely different location of the motor vehicle, for example in the region of a boot. In principle, arrangements or arrangements in the wheel arch, in the bumper, in the boot or at other suitable locations are also possible for the loudspeaker system 1 described herein with its components as an alternative or in addition to the illustrated arrangement.
- the transmission becomes of the sound generated by the speaker 5 in the passenger compartment 3 through the part 8a of the pipe 8, which leads from the speaker 5 to the passenger compartment 3, not disturbed.
- FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the loudspeaker system 1.
- the pipeline 8 is provided which, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, acoustically connects the loudspeaker 5 arranged outside the passenger compartment 3 with the passenger compartment 3.
- the sound damping device 9 is not arranged directly in the pipe 8, but connected via a connecting line 10 with the pipe 8.
- the connecting line 10 in this exemplary embodiment can be closed with a shut-off device 11, which in the present case is designed as a flap rotatable about a rotation axis 12.
- the shut-off device 11 could instead of being designed as pivotable about the axis of rotation 12 flap in other suitable manner.
- the shut-off device 11 closes the connecting line 10 and thus disconnects the sound damping device 9 from the loudspeaker 5.
- the pipe 8 is opened, so that the sound generated by the speaker 5 can pass through the pipe 8 into the passenger compartment 3.
- the shut-off device 11 is brought into its position shown by the dashed line, the pipe 8 is closed and the connecting line 10 is opened, whereby the sound damping device 9 is connected to the speaker 5, so that is prevented with the same from the engine compartment. 2 or the water box 6 sound can enter the passenger compartment 3.
- the shut-off device 11 can be controlled via a control device, not shown, so that it can be brought into the respective desired position in which it closes or releases either the pipe 8 or the connecting line 10 to the sound damping device 9.
- a control device may, for example, be connected to or integrated with an amplifier or the like connected to the speaker system 1 to switch the shut-off device 11 depending on whether sound is generated with the speaker system 1 or not.
- the shut-off device 11 can be adjusted for example by means of an electric motor, of course, there are other options for switching the same. In the case in which sound is generated with the speaker system 1, the shut-off device 11 is brought into the open position to direct the sound via the pipe 8 into the passenger compartment 3. In this case, any noise from the engine compartment
- the shut-off device 11 can be brought into its position closing the pipe 8, in order to guide possible noise in the sound damping device 9. That in this case the pipe 8 is closed, is unproblematic in terms of sound transmission, since the speaker 5 generates no sound yes. By the shut-off device 11 is thus ensured that the sound generated by the speaker 5 is not damped in an undesirable manner by the sound damping device 9.
- the sound damping device 9 has a housing 13 in which a sound absorbing material 14, such as glass wool, rock wool or other porous or open-pored material, is located.
- the sound absorption material 14 ensures a suitable damping of the sound entering from the pipe 8 or the connecting line 10 in the sound damping device 9 sound.
- the sound absorbing material 14 is located inside the housing 3 and outside of the openings provided in this case, d. H. sound-permeable pipeline 8.
- FIG. 4 An alternative embodiment of the sound damping device 9 is shown in Fig. 4.
- a plurality of walls 15 are provided within the housing 13 of the sound damping device 9, wherein basically only one of the walls 15 could be provided.
- Through the walls 15 runtime differences of the entering into the sound attenuation device 9 sound generated and deleted certain frequencies or greatly reduced.
- the sound damping device 9 shown in Fig. 5 the same is designed as a Helmholtz resonator, which is not arranged directly in the pipe 8, but is connected via the connecting line 10 with the pipe 8.
- the sound absorption material 14 is arranged within the case 13 provided here of the sound damping device 9, in turn.
- the embodiment of the sound damping device 9 shown in FIG. 6 is a Combination of the two embodiments of Figures 3 and 5.
- the sound damping device 9 in turn, the housing 13 with the sound absorbing material 14 disposed therein.
- a further housing 13 is provided with disposed therein sound absorbing material 14, which acts as a Helmholtz resonator.
- shut-off device 11 could be arranged in the connecting line 0 leading to the sound damping device designed as a Helmholtz resonator.
- Both with the sound absorption material 14 and with the walls 15 can be achieved in particular frequency selective a desired reduction of the transmission through the pipe 8.
- a frequency-selective design of the sound attenuation device 9 can be designed in the range between 300 Hz and 1.5 kHz, since engine noise in this frequency range has a peak.
- the sound damping device 9 can be designed such that the frequency range in which the loudspeaker 5 operates is omitted, so that its sound generation and transmission is not disturbed.
