When the traditional porous sound absorption material is used for eliminating low-frequency noise, the occupied space volume is large, and the preparation cost is not reduced. In addition, the traditional porous sound absorption material is usually prepared from plastic foam, glass or rock fiber and foaming materials, so that the environment is easily polluted and the health of people is harmed.
The Helmholtz resonator is that its intracavity air can be regarded as the silencer spare of a "spring system", and when the frequency of incident sound wave was the same with the natural frequency of Helmholtz resonator, the intracavity air just can take place to resonate to can dissipate the sound wave energy through the friction of air, realize eliminating the noise. Furthermore, the helmholtz resonator has the characteristic of sub-wavelength sound absorption (i.e. the sound absorption frequency is not limited by the quarter-wave theory), and the sound absorption frequency of the helmholtz resonator is far higher than that of the traditional sound absorption material under the similar characteristic length.
To the shortcomings of conventional porous sound absorbing materials, the present application utilizes a helmholtz resonator array to design an improved sound absorbing structure 100.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the sound absorbing structure 100 includes a honeycomb-shaped array of helmholtz resonators, wherein each helmholtz resonator 10 includes: the cover 11 is provided with a first side 111 and a second side 112 which are oppositely arranged, and the first side 111 is provided with a micropore 1110; and a cannula 12, disposed inside the housing 11, connected to the first side 111 and extending towards the second side 112, the cannula 12 being coaxial with the micro-hole 1110, and the diameter of the cannula 12 being equal to the diameter of the micro-hole 1110; the first sides 111 of the enclosures 11 together form a sound wave incident surface of the sound absorbing structure 100, and the overall acoustic impedance of the helmholtz resonator array matches the acoustic impedance of air within a predetermined frequency band.
Specifically, the helmholtz resonator array includes a plurality of helmholtz resonators 10, and the number of helmholtz resonators 10 is preferably 24, 48, or 96. The enclosure 11 of each helmholtz resonator 10 is a regular hexagonal prism enclosure. Through arranging into honeycomb helmholtz resonator array with the helmholtz resonator 10 of a plurality of regular hexagonal prisms, can greatly strengthen sound-absorbing structure 100's structural strength to possess excellent bearing capacity, can regard as building material to use in all trades. In another embodiment, the housing 11 may also be a rectangular parallelepiped housing, which is beneficial to simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the production cost while ensuring a certain structural strength. The housing 11 and the insertion tube 12 can be made of environment-friendly plastics, rubber, metal and other materials with strong environmental tolerance, so that the service life of the sound absorption structure 100 is prolonged, and the problems of efflorescence (pulverization) failure, air pollution and harm to human safety brought by the traditional sound absorption materials (such as glass wool and other porous materials) are avoided. Preferably, the helmholtz resonator 10 may be fabricated using 3D printing techniques to reduce engineering contamination.
Further, the formula is calculated by the sound absorption coefficient alpha in acoustics
(Z denotes the overall acoustic impedance of the
sound absorbing structure 100, Z
0Representing the impedance of air) to determine, for a target operating frequency band, the overall acoustic impedance Z of the
sound absorbing structure 100 and the impedance Z of air
0When matching, the sound absorption coefficient α can reach a maximum value, for example, a value close to 1 such as 0.95 to 0.999, and at this time, it can be considered that the sound absorption efficiency of the helmholtz resonator array to the sound wave of the corresponding sound absorption frequency reaches the highest, and the sound absorption effect is the best. Acoustic impedance Z of air
0Can be represented as Z
0=ρ
0c
0Where ρ is
0Denotes the density of air under natural conditions, c
0Representing the speed of sound propagation in the ambient air. The overall acoustic impedance of the
sound absorbing structure 100 can be calculated based on the arrangement of the
helmholtz resonators 10 and by combining the respective acoustic impedances of the
helmholtz resonators 10. Further, in order to realize the maximum efficiency of the
sound absorption structure 100, the structural parameters (such as the length, width, height, opening area, and other parameters) of the
helmholtz resonator 10 may be calculated and adjusted by the operation software to adjust the respective acoustic impedancesAnd selecting parameters when the overall acoustic impedance of the Helmholtz resonator array is matched with the acoustic impedance of air as actual preparation parameters of the Helmholtz resonators.
The sound absorption structure 100 is beneficial to having a large sound absorption coefficient by matching the overall acoustic impedance of the helmholtz resonator array with the acoustic impedance of air, so that a good sound absorption effect is realized in a low frequency band; in addition, under the same low-frequency sound absorption frequency band, the mounting space required by the sound absorption structure 100 is small, and when the sound absorption structure 100 is arranged, a cavity structure does not need to be additionally arranged, so that the space can be greatly saved, and the preparation cost is reduced. In addition, for different noise elimination frequency bands, according to the impedance matching characteristic, the Helmholtz resonator array has corresponding structural parameters to meet the noise elimination requirement of a user, so that the personalized customization requirement of the user is favorably realized.

Because the Helmholtz resonator 10 that has different structural parameters has different natural frequency to be favorable to increasing different sound absorption frequency points in predetermineeing the frequency channel through above-mentioned mode, improve the sound absorption effect of Helmholtz resonator array.
Further, the aperture of the micro-holes 1110 of each helmholtz resonator 10 is different, or the length of the insertion tube 12 of each helmholtz resonator 10 is different, or the aperture of the micro-holes 1110 of each helmholtz resonator 10 and the length of the insertion tube 12 of each helmholtz resonator 10 are different. By the aid of the mode, the density of sound absorption frequency points in the preset frequency band is improved, and the Helmholtz resonator array can have a better sound absorption effect under the condition of acoustic impedance matching.
In the exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first sides of each of the
shells 11 are located within the same plane. In particular, the first sides of the
housings 11 may lie in the same plane or curved surface. In this case, the
Helmholtz resonators 10 are connected in parallel, and the sound waveCan the simultaneous incidence go into each Helmholtz resonator and eliminate the noise to Helmholtz resonator array's whole acoustic impedance Z satisfies:
wherein Z is

helmholtz resonator 10 is shown, and n represents the ordinal number of the
helmholtz resonator 10.

wherein A denotes the area of the entire first side 111, SaIndicates the open area of microhole 1110,/'indicates the length of cannula 12,/' indicates the vertical distance from first side 111 to the inner surface of second side 112, and VHHDenotes the volume, ρ, of the resonance chamber 110 of the Helmholtz resonator 10cc、cccAnd kccRespectively representing the density, acoustic velocity and wave number, k, of the air in the resonance chamber 110ca、ΨvaAnd ΨhaRespectively, the wavenumber, viscosity and thermal terms of the cannula 12 at narrow acoustics, gamma the specific heat capacity of air, and deltaΩRepresenting an acoustic mass end correction term, τΩDenotes a correction factor, ω denotes an angular frequency, η denotes a viscosity coefficient of air, ρ0Denotes the density of air under natural conditions, c0Representing the speed of sound propagation in the ambient air.
Through the above formula, parameters such as the length of each helmholtz resonator 10, the opening area of the micropores 1110, the length of the insertion tube 12 and the like can be quantitatively optimized, so that the acoustic impedance of the sound absorption structure 100 is accurately matched with that of air, and the sound absorption effect of the sound absorption structure 100 is improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the housing 11 includes a top cover, a housing body, and a bottom cover connected in sequence, the top cover is provided with a micro-hole and covers one side of the housing body, the bottom cover covers one side of the housing body away from the top cover, and the top cover, the housing body, and the bottom cover are detachable from each other; the cannula is connected to the top cover and extends toward the bottom cover. The helmholtz resonator 10 can be divided into a plurality of parts in this way, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the sound absorbing structure 100; and simultaneously, the maintenance and the part replacement of the helmholtz resonator 10 are facilitated, so that the maintenance cost of the sound absorbing structure 100 is reduced.

In other embodiments, a plurality of top covers and a plurality of insertion tubes may be integrally formed at the same time, and a corresponding number of bottom covers may be integrally formed at the same time, thereby facilitating a balance between reduction of manufacturing processes to reduce manufacturing costs and maintenance costs. The number of the integrated forming can be determined according to actual requirements.
