Description

  The present invention relates to a ventilation fan that is installed on a direct ceiling without a ceiling material and ventilates by sucking air inside a room through a duct and exhausting the air outside.

  Until now, direct-acting ventilation fans have often been installed behind the ceiling, and the noise generated from the ventilation fans has been insulated to some extent by the ceiling material. Moreover, in the ventilation fan used for exhaust_gas | exhaustion use, since suction noise propagates to the room side generally, it has the structure which reduced only the suction noise conventionally.

  However, in recent years, the room space of the direct ceiling without a ceiling material has increased. In such a room space with a direct ceiling, the ventilation blower and the duct connected thereto are exposed to the room space. For this reason, there has been a case where the discharge noise becomes a problem in the blower in which only the suction noise is reduced as in the prior art. For example, piping ducts are often made of steel plate, but there are many cases in which ducts made of resin, cloth, etc. that are excellent in expansion and contraction from the construction surface are connected near the suction and discharge ports of the blower. Since the sound insulation effect is low, wind noise is transmitted, and if there is no ceiling material, ambient noise becomes a problem due to the influence of discharge noise.

  Regarding the reduction of the suction noise, Patent Document 1 proposes a structure in which a double suction centrifugal fan having a flow dividing member is incorporated in the silencer box. Regarding reduction of discharge noise, Patent Document 2 proposes a structure in which a sound absorbing material is mounted on the inner wall of a connection member.

  However, the conventional reduction of suction noise or reduction of discharge noise has a problem that ambient noise cannot be reduced efficiently when the ventilation fan is installed on a direct ceiling without a ceiling material.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is possible to efficiently reduce ambient noise generated from a ventilation fan even when the ventilation fan is installed on a direct ceiling without a ceiling material, and it is quiet and comfortable. It is an object to obtain a ventilation fan that can provide a comfortable living room space.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the ventilation blower of the present invention is a double-suction centrifugal device that sucks air from suction ports provided on both side plates of a scroll casing into a box formed by joining plate members. In a ventilation fan installed in a direct ceiling so that air is sucked in from the suction end opening on one side of the box and discharged from the discharge end opening on the other side and is exposed to the living room space. A first sound-absorbing member that distributes the air flow in the direction of the two suction ports of the centrifugal blower, and an inner surface of the box body that faces the suction port of the scroll casing. A suction-side silencing structure having a second sound-absorbing member that forms a ventilation path for airflow sucked into the casing, and a third that forms a jaw portion of the outlet of the scroll casing A scroll member provided between the sound member, a fourth sound absorbing member that forms a slope opposite to the jaw portion and constitutes the outlet of the scroll casing together with the third sound absorbing member, and the scroll casing outlet and the discharge end opening; A discharge-side silencing structure having a fifth sound-absorbing member that forms a ventilation path for airflow discharged from the casing is provided.

  According to the present invention, the suction noise and the discharge noise are efficiently reduced by the interlocking operation between the sound absorbing members, the synergistic effect of the suction noise reduction and the discharge noise reduction works, and the noise that cannot be achieved by the conventional apparatus. Since the noise is reduced to the level, even when installed on a direct ceiling without a ceiling material, it is possible to provide a quiet and comfortable living room space.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a ventilation fan according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of Embodiment 1 of a ventilation fan according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the ventilation fan according to the present invention. 1 and 2, the ventilation blower 50 has a silencer box structure in which the outer shell is made of a steel plate and a sound absorbing material is attached inside. The ventilation blower 50 is a hexahedral box-shaped sound deadening box (box body) provided with a suction end opening 2 and a discharge end opening 3 facing each other, each having connection port parts 1 for connecting ducts to both sides. ) Centrifugal blower 5 is incorporated in 4. The centrifugal blower 5 is a both-suction type having suction ports 6 on both the motor side and the non-motor side. The two suction ports 6 are moved up and down (may be front and rear), and the discharge ports are connected to the blowing end opening 3. On the other hand, it is attached to a substantially middle part in the sound deadening box 4.

  The scroll casing 7 of the centrifugal blower 5 is composed of two rectangular side plates 8 having a suction port 6 in the center and a scroll 9 sandwiched between the side plates 8 and is made of a steel plate. A branching member 10 that is a first sound absorbing member that distributes the airflow in the direction of the two suction ports 6 of the centrifugal blower 5 is provided at a location facing the suction end opening 2 of the scroll casing 7. The diversion member 10 reduces the turbulence by smoothly dividing the intake air flow at the tip of the triangular cross section, reduces the air flow to the motor-side intake port 6, and reduces the air flow to the non-motor-side intake port 6. The noise is reduced by increasing the air flow, but the sound from the suction end opening 2 collides with the sound-absorbing material so that the ventilation path in the sound-absorbing box 4 has a sound-deadening function. Is formed. The vertical dimension of the flow dividing member 10 is substantially equal to the dimension between the side plates 8 of the scroll casing 7, and the longitudinal dimension is substantially equal to the longitudinal dimension of the sound deadening box 4.

  Second sound absorbing members 12 and 13 are provided on the inner surface of the box body 4 respectively facing the upper and lower suction ports 6 of the scroll casing 7. The second sound absorbing members 12 and 13 extend over the entire width of the sound deadening box 4, and together with the flow dividing member 10, form a ventilation path for airflow sucked from the suction end opening 2 toward the scroll casing 7. The flow dividing member 10 and the second sound absorbing members 12 and 13 constitute a suction side silencing structure 20 that reduces the noise of the suction flow of the ventilation fan 50.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the side plate on the front side of the scroll casing is removed. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the third sound absorbing member. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a fourth sound absorbing member. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a fifth sound absorbing member. As shown well in FIG. 3, the jaw portion, which is a protruding curved portion on one side of the outlet of the scroll casing 7, is made of a sound absorbing material having the shape shown in FIG. 4 and constitutes a third sound absorbing member 17. On the other hand, the exit slope facing the jaw portion is made of a sound absorbing material having the shape shown in FIG. Further, the outlet of the scroll casing 7 and the discharge end opening 3 are communicated with each other by a rectangular frame-shaped fifth sound absorbing member 19 made of a sound absorbing material having the shape shown in FIG. The fifth sound absorbing member 19 forms a ventilation path for the airflow discharged from the scroll casing 7.

  The third sound absorbing member 17, the fourth sound absorbing member 18, and the fifth sound absorbing member 19 constitute a discharge side silencing structure 30 that reduces noise in the discharge flow of the ventilation blower 50. The third to fifth sound absorbing members 17, 18, 19 are produced by laminating a plurality of sheet bodies made of a nonwoven fabric made of a fibrous porous material. By producing the sound absorbing member from a non-woven sheet, a sound absorbing structure can be easily formed, and the yield and assembly workability can be greatly improved. In addition, you may comprise the 5th sound-absorbing member 19 by covering the surface of the sheet body which consists of glass wool with the glass cloth. Thereby, handling becomes easy and the yield and the assembly workability can be further improved.

  FIG. 7 is a side view showing an installation example when the ventilation blower 50 of the present embodiment is installed on a direct ceiling. The ventilation blower 50 is installed by connecting front and rear connection port components to the duct 62 and suspended from the direct ceiling 71. Thus, the ventilation fan 50, the duct 62, and the ventilation grill 61 are exposed to the living room space and installed on the direct ceiling 71. The ventilation blower 50 discharges the air sucked from the ventilation grill 61 to the outside. For the ventilation blower 50 installed in this way, the results of the case where only the suction side silencing structure 20 is provided and the suction side silencing countermeasures are provided, and the case where only the discharge side silencing structure 30 is provided and the discharge side silencing measures are taken are shown. Described below.

  In the case of the ventilation fan 50 having the above structure, the noise generated from the silencer box is dominated by suction noise (noise at the point P in FIG. 7) and discharge noise (noise at the point Q in FIG. 7). It becomes.

When the noise value at a point 1.5 m away from the suction port of the ventilation fan 50 is 60 (dB), the noise value at a point 1.5 m away from the exhaust port is 70 (dB), and when the ventilation fan 50 is not operated When the noise (background noise) at point A is 50 (dB), the synthesized sound at point A in FIG. 7 is obtained by the following equation (1).

When only the suction noise is reduced from 20 (dB), for example from 60 (dB) to 40 (dB), the synthesized sound at point A is 70.05 (dB) from the following calculation.

Even if only the suction noise is reduced, the effect is small because the discharge noise is dominant as 70.45-70.05 = 0.4 (dB). Even if the same 20 (dB) is reduced, for example, when the suction noise is reduced by 10 (dB) and the discharge noise is reduced by 10 (dB), that is, the suction noise is 50 (dB) and the discharge noise is 60 (dB). ), The synthesized sound at point A is 60.79 (dB) from the following calculation, and the effect of reducing both suction and discharge noise is 70.45-60.79 = 9.66 (dB) ).

  Thus, the combined sound of the noise generated from the ventilation fan 50 can be efficiently reduced by reducing both the suction and discharge noises, rather than reducing either the suction or discharge noises.

  FIG. 8 is a graph showing a comparison of noise reduction values when reducing only suction noise, reducing only discharge noise, and reducing suction noise and discharge noise. FIG. 8 is a graph showing the effect of reducing both the suction noise and the discharge noise. Ambient noise generated from the ventilation fan 50 cannot be reduced below a certain noise level due to the influence of discharge noise by the method of reducing only suction noise. The same applies to a technique for reducing only discharge noise. For example, the noise value at a point 1.5 m away from the suction port of the ventilation fan 50 is 60 (dB), the noise value at a point 1.5 m away from the discharge port is 70 (dB), and the background noise at point A Is 50 (dB), the synthesized sound at point A when only the suction noise is reduced in increments of 5 (dB) is indicated by a circled plot in the graph of FIG. Similarly, the synthesized sound at point A when only the discharge noise is reduced is shown by a square mark plot. The combined sound at point A when both suction and discharge noises are reduced is indicated by a triangular mark.

  According to the graph of FIG. 8, when only the suction noise is reduced, unless the discharge noise of 70 (dB) is improved, the influence of the discharge noise is dominant, and the synthesized sound at point A is steady in the vicinity of 70 (dB). It becomes a state. Further, when only the discharge noise is reduced, a steady state is obtained in the vicinity of 60 (dB) of the suction noise. Compared to that, it can be seen that if the suction and discharge noises are simultaneously reduced, the synthesized sound at point A is efficiently reduced. As described above, the ambient noise generated from the ventilation blower 50 can be reduced to a noise level that cannot be achieved by reducing only the suction and discharge noises by reducing both the suction and discharge noises.

  As described above, according to the ventilation blower 50 of the present embodiment, the first is provided at a location facing the suction end opening of the scroll casing 7 and distributes the air flow toward the two suction ports of the centrifugal blower 5. A suction-side silencing structure 20 having a sound-absorbing member 10 and second sound-absorbing members 12 and 13 that are provided on the inner surface of the box facing the suction port of the scroll casing 7 and form a ventilation path for airflow sucked into the scroll casing 7. And a fourth sound absorbing member 17 that forms a jaw part of the outlet of the scroll casing 7 and a fourth sound absorbing member that forms an inclined surface facing the jaw part and constitutes the outlet of the scroll casing 7 together with the third sound absorbing member 17. A member 18 is provided between the outlet of the scroll casing 7 and the discharge end opening 3, and forms a ventilation path for the airflow discharged from the scroll casing 7. And a discharge-side muffler structure 30 and a sound absorbing member 19. For this reason, the suction noise and discharge noise are efficiently reduced by the interlocking operation between the sound absorbing members, and the synergistic effects described above work to reduce the noise level to a level that cannot be achieved with conventional devices. Can do.
