One of the audio cooling systems achieves this and other purposes. The system includes a month-changing device and is configured to generate a driving signal control unit for exciting the transducer, wherein the driving signal includes at least one high-order t-wave is a wave driving signal, Xiao Gao The sub-spectral waves are selected to suppress the presence of at least a corresponding high-order spectral wave contained in the acoustic waves generated by the "Haisheng system. The present invention is based on the understanding that at least one of the acoustic waves generated by the acoustic system can be suppressed by intentionally introducing at least one particular selected higher order wave for exciting the drive (4) of the transducer. The existence of high-order spectral waves and s can achieve the suppression of the audible noise generated by the acoustic cooling system. The cooling system of the 'X-month is advantageous because it does not need to include a second moon-changing b state to achieve miscellaneous Signal suppression. This enables a low-cost, compact audio cooling system. Here, the 6-wave signal is intended to indicate a signal comprising a first harmonic (i.e., a primary frequency) and/or a plurality of selected higher-order waves. Furthermore, the acoustic waves used in the D-changer may preferably be produced by a fluid, such as air. Furthermore, the transducer may comprise a resonator, which is advantageous because it is available - the desired resonance In a pulsed airflow.

One advantage is that the actual noise level can be measured (e. g., because the noise generated by the complete system' contains noise due to the non-linear behavior of the pulsed gas stream)&apos; and the drive signal can be adjusted accordingly. According to an alternative embodiment, the system can include a sensor adapted to measure at least one of an induced voltage and an induced current in the transducer as indicative of the acoustic waves generated by the system And providing information about the at least one of the induced voltage and the induced current to the control unit, wherein the control unit is further configured to select the at least one higher harmonic of the drive signal based on the information. This eliminates the need for a microphone. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method for determining a multi-harmonic drive signal configured to cool one of an acoustic cooling system by generating an acoustic wave is provided. The method includes the steps of: providing a drive signal to a transducer; obtaining a sound signal relating to one of the sound waves generated by the system in response to the drive signal; determining a sound power spectrum of the sound signal; and introducing The selected drive signal is converted by at least one higher harmonic such that at least one corresponding higher harmonic of the sound power spectrum is suppressed. At least one of an amplitude and a phase of the at least - high (four) wave in the drive signal may be selected such that one of the sound power spectra corresponds to a higher harmonic. For example, the amplitude and/or phase of the Hth of the drive signal may be adapted to minimize a second spectral wave in the sound power spectrum, and the amplitude and/or phase of the third harmonic of the drive signal may be Adjusted to minimize the third harmonic in the sound power spectrum' and so on. One advantage is that the noise associated with each higher harmonic can be minimized. According to the example, the multi-harmonic driving signal can be determined by repeating the gradually increasing harmonic harmonics into one of the driving signals. Moreover, the acoustic cooling system in accordance with the present invention can advantageously be included in an illumination device further comprising a lighting device, wherein the acoustic cooling system can be configured to cool the lighting device.

Instead, these embodiments are provided for completeness and completeness, and The scope of the invention. The same reference symbols throughout the text refer to the same elements. Referring now to the drawings and in particular to the drawings, an acoustic cooling system comprising a transducer 2 is depicted. The transducer 2 can be a piezoelectric element 'PVDP (poly H ethylene) material, a speaker or any other electrical, electromagnetic or electrostatic transducer. The transducer 2 shown in Figure i is connected to a resonator 3 having an opening 4. The opening 4 is generally oriented toward a warm object, such as the n-pole 5 (led) to be cooled (45). The cooling system includes a control element 6 configured to generate a drive signal S1 for exciting the transducer 2 such that it is produced in the form of a pulsed airflow at the opening 4 that cools the coffee 5 Sound waves. The control unit 6 can be connected to a sensor, such as a microphone 7, which is disposed at a distance from the cooling system and configured to detect sound waves generated by the system i (or noise) Here, the control unit 6 comprises a generator element 8 (such as a signal generator) for generating a fundamental frequency signal, a transition element 9 for transforming the signal from the generator unit 8, such as a The signal processing unit (it) and the one of the sound power spectrums of one of the mm obtained by the microphone 7 are analyzed by the component 10. The control unit 6 can include a virtual control gg 匕3 micro-processing state, a microcontroller, and a A programmable digital signal processor or another programmable device. The control unit 6 can also (or instead) include an exclusive integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable array of programmable logic logic, and a programmable a logic device or a digital number processor. When the control sheet includes a _programmable device, such as the microprocessor or microcontroller described above, the processor can further include controlling the programmable device Operation of the computer executable In addition, some functions provided by the control unit 6 are implemented by using similar electronic devices. Instead of using the microphone 7 to detect sound waves generated by the system, a voltage- or current detector can be used to detect the flow through the system. The voltage of the transducer 2 is the voltage of the transducer 2 as an indication of the acoustic waves (or noise) generated by the system 1. For example, the (four) sound waves and the sensing by the system can be known from previous tests. The relationship between voltage/current. The induced voltage/current obtained by the electric device 15021.doc 201124692 house/current detector 11 can be converted into one of the analysis elements 10 that can be sent to the control unit. A multi-chopper drive signal can be used to suppress the higher harmonics of the acoustic waves generated by the system i in accordance with the present invention. In addition to a primary frequency component (also referred to as a first harmonic), The multi-harmonic drive signal also includes one or more southern sub-signal waves. One of the methods for determining a multi-harmonic drive signal will now be described with reference to the system in circle 1 and the schematic flow chart in FIG. Example. The cooling system can be assembled in phase 1 This procedure is performed by using a temporary microphone 7. Alternatively, the microphone 7 can be included in the acoustic cooling system to enable subsequent calibration or continuous adjustment of the multi-harmonic drive signal. During an inoperative operation, the microphone The signal generator 8 produces a single harmonic signal, such as a sinusoidal signal having a frequency of, for example, 6 Hz. Initially, the signal is unchanged by the transition element 9 and thus in step 2" a single harmonic drive signal s of a first harmonic A1 excites the transducer 2. The acoustic waves generated by the system 1 in response to the single harmonic drive signal are detected by the microphone 7 and In step 202, the sound sk number Ss() und of the sound waves of the warriors/beans J is sent to the analysis component 10 in the control unit 6. In step 203, the analyzing component 10 determines that one of the obtained sound signals has a first spectral wave B1, a wave B 4 and a fifth wave B 5 . The fourth harmonic. The sound power spectrum of the sound # is here. The first s is the wave B2, the third harmonic B3, and the second is followed. In step 204, the transition element 9 is introduced by a second harmonic A2.

When the resulting multi-harmonic drive signal (which includes a primary frequency A1 and a high-input harmonic A2-A5) excites the transducer 2, only the first harmonic B丨 remains in the system generated by the system In the sound waves. That is, all of the 谐波th harmonics are suppressed (at least partially) and thus the noise generated by the system 抑制 is suppressed. Although the procedure for determining the harmonic drive signal is described herein as an iterative procedure in which a gradually increasing higher harmonic is introduced at one time, it is possible to introduce and optimize a plurality of higher harmonics in parallel. Parameters to speed up the program. In addition, other noise cancellation algorithms or control algorithms are generally applicable to determining the optimal setting of each of the higher harmonics in the drive signal. For example, iterative learning control can be used. Turning now to Figure 3, there is schematically illustrated an embodiment in which the acoustic cooling system 丨 is included in a lighting device, such as a light 12, which further includes 150619.doc • 10· 201124692 a lighting device, __ ΤΤ7ΓΛ r· 者一一 LED 5. The procedure for determining the multi-spectral drive signal of the acoustic cooling system can be varied depending on the application. Material-example, the single-multi-harmonic drive L of the acoustic cooling system can be determined between the development of the "lights". Then the pre-multi-harmonic drive signal can be applied to many lamps. The all-wave drive signal can be used for all the lamps of a particular model's, thus reducing the cost. Or 'the multi-spectral drive signal can be determined for each individual lamp during the manufacturing process. When the range is too large to use the m-skin drive signal, this can be advantageous as another example, the multi-spectral drive signal can be tuned during operation. The right β-light 12 characteristics are presented in terms of higher-order spectral waves. This may be advantageous over time or depending on how the lamp 12 is mounted. This may be done as an initial calibration, or may be repeated occasionally. Continuous adjustment of the multi-spectral drive signal may also be used. The microphone can be used not only to detect the sound output of the lamp, but also to the adjacent lamp. This makes it possible to use a drive signal with no off-rate or phase for various adjacent lamps to reduce the overall sound output of all the lamps, therebyThe present invention is described with reference to the specific example embodiments of the present invention, and many variations, modifications, and the like will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The present invention may be understood from the study of the drawings and the disclosed embodiments, and the scope of the appended claims may be understood and effected by the scope of the appended claims. For example, to illustrate the range of different lamps, the optimization procedure It can be applied to a group of lamps. This can be achieved by using a variety of systems that are not connected to the 1506I9.doc 201124692 system, such as one acoustic cooling system per lamp or one set of acoustic cooling systems and another set of lights and another acoustic cooling system. In addition, a plurality of audio cooling systems can share a single microphone instead of using a microphone for each acoustic cooling system. Yet another alternative is to have a plurality of microphones as early as a single control unit. Cooling a led acoustic cooling system, the system can also be used to cool other electronic components, such as, for example, integrated electrical In addition, in the scope of the patent application, the singularity of the singularity does not exclude other components or steps, and the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the plural.
