Description

Noise reduction flow guide and noise reduction device

The present invention relates to a noise reducer including a flow guide and a flow guide installed between ducts for ventilation. More particularly, it relates to a noise reduction flow guide and noise reduction device for effectively reducing noise transmitted along a duct without disturbing air flow.

In the bathroom of the apartment house, a noise reducer is installed to prevent the sound of a toilet bowl from flowing to other floors along the exhaust line of the fan and causing noise between floors. It is formed so that it can be installed between the conventional fan ducts.

1 is a perspective view of a conventional noise reducer, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. When described in more detail with reference to these drawings, the conventional noise reducer 1 includes an upper case 2 and a lower case 3 that are connected to a duct to form a flow path therein, and a sound absorbing material 5 in the case. and a flow guide (4). In addition to being fixed to the duct, the noise reducer 1 is formed to be fixed to an external structure by an installation bracket 6 to increase structural stability.

The upper case (2) and the lower case (3) have a pipe connection part (9) through which the intake/exhaust port (8) is formed and is connected to the ventilator duct, respectively, and the diameter of the pipe connection part (9) is the upper case (2) And it is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the central portion of the lower case (3), the cross-sectional area of the flow path is changed as it passes through the noise reducer (1). Therefore, when the sound passes through a space with a different cross-sectional area, the sound waves collide and cancel each other at the same time to have a structure in which the noise can be reduced.

Meanwhile, in the conventional flow guide 4 , a radial grid 7 is formed inside the tapered body, and the radial grid 7 is formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the flow guide 4 . This structure has the effect of reducing the noise as the sound wave flows in without disturbing the flow and the wavelength is split, but restricts the radial flow of the upper case 2 and the lower case 3 to convert the entire cross-sectional area of the case into the flow path. Since it cannot be utilized, the noise reduction effect is low, and as a result, there is a problem in that the overall volume of the noise reducer 1 is increased.

In addition, in the conventional noise reducer 1, in order to fix the sound absorbing material 5, the sound absorbing material 5 is formed in the same tapered shape as the outer circumferential surface of the flow guide 4, and it is configured to fit into the outer periphery of the flow guide 4. This structure also becomes a factor limiting the change of the flow passage cross-sectional area, and furthermore, there is a problem in that the noise reduction performance is impaired by reducing the contact surface between the noise and the sound absorbing material 5 .

As shown in these drawings, the noise reducer 10 of the present invention includes an upper case 20 and a lower case 30 connected to the fan duct, and is formed by the upper case 20 and the lower case 30. The formed inner space is used as a flow path, and a flow guide 40 and a sound absorbing material 50 for guiding air flow on the flow path are installed.

The noise reducer 10 has intake and exhaust ports 22 and 32 formed in the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 so that air can flow from one side to the other side, and it is also possible to flow from the other side to the one side, and the noise level the same Accordingly, the upper and lower portions of the silencer including the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 may be symmetrically formed. In particular, the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 may be formed to be injected with the same mold.

To this end, a case assembly groove 38 and a case assembly protrusion 39 may be formed at the assembly end of each case. The case assembly groove 38 and the case assembly projection 39 are both formed in each case, and the shape of the upper case 20 is rotated 180 degrees with respect to the lower case 30, the case assembly groove 38 of the upper case. and the case assembly protrusion 39 of the lower case is disposed to engage. That is, the case assembly groove 38 is formed at a position rotated by 180° from the case assembly projection 39 along the assembly end, and one case assembly groove 38 and the case assembly projection 39 may be formed as shown in the drawing. Also, a plurality of case assembly grooves 38 and case assembly protrusions 39 may be formed.

The upper case 20 and the lower case 30 include a body 24 and 34, and a pipe connection portion 23 and 33 formed at the ends of the body 24 and 34 and through which the intake and exhaust ports 22 and 32 are formed. is formed by The bodies 24 and 34 are formed to extend beyond the pipe connection parts 23 and 33 , and the bodies 24 and 34 of the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 are coupled to each other to be assembled with each other. Since the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 have fastening holes 21 and 31 formed around them, they can be assembled by applying bolts to the fastening holes of both parts and coupling them together.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , the flow guide fixing ribs 36 may be extended inward along the intake and exhaust ports 22 and 32 in the upper case 20 and the lower case. This is a configuration for fixing the flow guide 40, and the first fitting groove 37 may be recessed along the circumferential direction at the end of the flow guide fixing rib 36, and as shown in the figure, the first fitting groove 37 ), it is also possible to form the first fitting groove 37 by further protruding the adjacent portion.

In addition, the upper case 20 and the lower case 30, the end of the intake and exhaust port 22, 32 side of the body 24, 34, the sound absorbing material fixing rib 35 may be formed to protrude in the longitudinal direction. When the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 have a polygonal cross section, the sound absorbing material fixing rib 35 is advantageous in fixing the sound absorbing material 50 to be formed at the portion where the vertex is located. In addition, the sound-absorbing material fixing ribs 35 are formed to be spaced apart from the inner wall by a predetermined distance, and it is preferable that the spaced distance corresponds to the thickness of the sound-absorbing material 50 . This is to install the sound absorbing material 50 to be in contact with the inner wall surface, so that the entire space inside the case is utilized without disturbing the air flow radiated from the flow guide 40, and the noise and the sound absorbing material 50 are in contact. The usable area can be maximized, and the noise reduction effect can be improved.

The sound absorbing material 50 may use a porous sound absorbing material 50 , a plate-shaped sound absorbing material 50 , and the like, and may be formed to correspond to the inner shape of the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 . In addition, as described above, the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 are inserted so as to be in contact with the inner wall, and the position can be fixed by the sound-absorbing material fixing rib 35 .

The flow guide 40 serves to radiate air and noise toward the inner walls of the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 without impeding the air flow in the noise reducer 10 . The flow guide 40 is illustrated in detail in FIGS. 4 to 7 .

Referring to these drawings, the flow guide 40 may be divided in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction as shown in FIG. 4 . This is to form the flow guide 40 in a shape that can be injected in the axial direction, and the upper guide 40a and the lower guide 40c are injection-manufactured in the same shape and assembled using the assembly structure formed in the central part. One flow guide 40 may be formed. Furthermore, as shown in the drawings, it may further include a ring-shaped connector 40b interposed between the upper guide 40a and the lower guide 40c to connect the two parts.

When the flow guide 40 is viewed as one part, the flow guide 40 protrudes from the outer surface of the hollow center portion 41 extending in one direction and the center portion 41 as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 . and a guide part 42 extending along the center part 41 . The flow guide 40 is formed like a long blade as a whole, and the guide portion 42 of the present invention is formed in a shape twisted along the longitudinal direction, unlike in the case of the prior art, which was simply extended in a straight line. That is, the guide part 42 is formed extending from one end to the other end, and the other end of the guide part 42 is formed at a position rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the center of the center part 41 .

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, one end and the other end (A) of the guide part 42 are formed to extend straight in a planar shape, and the other end is formed at a position rotated by a predetermined angle from one end, so that one end and Between the other ends (B) may be formed in a curved surface. This is to facilitate fluid inflow and outflow.

In addition, the position of the other end of one guide part 42 and the one end of the guide part 42 adjacent thereto may be formed to match. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6 , when looking at the other end direction from one end of the flow guide 40 , it may be formed as if the gap between the guide parts 42 is blocked, so that as many sound waves as possible are generated from the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 . It may be guided to radiate toward the inner wall. Accordingly, air can flow between the inside of the center part 41 and the guide part 42 so that the flow is not disturbed, and at the same time, noise can be radiated along the guide part 42 . That is, there is an effect of blocking the noise propagation gap while minimizing the resistance of the flow with the minimum amount of torsion considering the flow characteristics.

In addition, the center portion 41 may be formed to have a shorter total length than the guide portion 42 , and may be formed such that the center portion 41 is placed in the center of the guide portion 42 in the longitudinal direction. Further, the central portions of both ends of the guide portion 42 may be formed to have the same length as the center portion 41 , and the ends of the guide portion 42 may be concave from the outside to the inside (C). This reduces the collision between the flow guide 40 and the air when the air flow is dispersed in the radial direction as the passage area of the air introduced into the noise reducer 10 through the pipe connection parts 23 and 33 is rapidly expanded. This is to prevent additional noise from being generated. In addition, this structure has the effect of reducing fluid loss as well. At this time, it is preferable that the concave portion (C) is formed as a curved surface as shown in the drawing so that noise reduction and flow effect can be maximized.

In addition, a second fitting groove 47 having a shape corresponding to the first fitting groove 37 may be recessed in one end and the other end of the guide part 42 . By assembling the first fitting groove 37 and the second fitting groove 47 together, the upper case 20 and the lower case 30 can be assembled at both ends of the flow guide 40 .

Although specific embodiments have been described in detail for each configuration in this specification, embodiments that can be derived by arbitrarily combining some configurations also fall within the scope of the present invention.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various modifications and variations are possible without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.
