Patent Literature 2, a porous sound absorbing material is affixed to the whole of the inner periphery surface of a fan shroud opposed to the front end side of the fan in an exposed state into the opposed space without using the conventional punching metal. Therefore, an air flow sound which is attributable to a strong rotating flow between the fan and the fan shroud can be absorbed by the sound absorbing material; besides, it is possible to make the generation of an impact sound difficult.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.2001-003750 - [Patent Literature 3]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.2001-107899 - However, in the compressor unit noise reducing device disclosed in
Patent Literature 1, since a porous sound absorbing material is disposed in the intake aperture portion, the resistance to the air flow increases, resulting in decrease of the flow rate and deterioration of the air feed capacity of the fan device. - In the fan device noise reducing mechanism disclosed in
Patent Literature 2, since a porous sound absorbing material having concaves and convexes on the surface thereof is disposed at a position facing the air flow, the resistance to the air flow increases, with consequent decrease of the flow rate and deterioration of the air feed capacity of the fan device. Moreover, the sound absorbing effect attained by the porous sound absorbing material is generally limited to a high frequency region and the sound absorbing effect attained by holes, resonance pipes and a sound deadening room is limited to a narrow frequency band, thus making it impossible to obtain a noise reducing effect over a wide range of frequency band. Further, for protecting the porous sound absorbing material against water and dust it is necessary to apply a scientific water repelling treatment and surface coating to the material, thus resulting in increase of cost. - In the bell-mouth disclosed in
Patent Literature 3, since a large number of small holes are formed in the guide surface of the bell-mouth, the resistance to the air flow increases, so that the flow rate decreases and the air feed capacity of the fan device is very likely to be deteriorated. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a noise reducing structure in a fan device capable of reducing noise released from the interior of a housing of the fan device to the exterior without deteriorating the air feed capacity of the fan device.
-
- (1) According to the present invention there is provided a noise reducing structure in a fan device including a fan for creating an air flow, a housing for accommodating the fan therein, and a shroud provided in part of the housing, further includes a sound absorbing structure disposed in the interior of the housing and on an outer periphery side of the shroud.
- When the fan rotates and an air flow is created in the noise reducing structure in a fan device according to the present invention, the air flow is introduced and uniformed by the shroud. The sound absorbing structure is disposed on the outer periphery side of the shroud.
- In this case, noise generated in the interior of the fan device housing can be reduced by the sound absorbing structure. In this case, since the sound absorbing structure is not disposed at the shroud position facing the fan, the air flow is not disturbed and the noise released from the interior of the fan device housing to the exterior can be reduced without deteriorating the air feed capacity of the fan device.
- (2) The sound absorbing structure may be formed integrally with the housing.
- In this case, since the sound absorbing structure is integral with the housing, the number of assembling steps becomes smaller and hence it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.
- (3) The sound absorbing structure may be formed as an independent member.
- In this case, since the sound absorbing structure is formed as an independent member, the sound absorbing structure can be provided even at a position where integral molding with the housing is difficult.
- (4) The sound absorbing structure may be formed by one perforated plate and an air layer, or plural perforated plates arranged in a layered fashion and plural air layers.
- In this case, since the sound absorbing structure is constituted by one perforated plate or a plurality of layered, perforated plates, vibration of the air present within the housing is damped by viscous damping which is induced by vibration of air within each of the holes of the perforated plate, thus making is possible to reduce noise. Besides, since the sound absorbing structure is constituted by a plate member, the environmental resistance of the sound absorbing structure according to the present invention can be maintained high and the performance and structure of the sound absorbing structure do not change over a long period. Therefore, even if the sound absorbing material is used for a long period, its noise reducing performance is not deteriorated. Moreover, since there is no scattering of the sound absorbing structure in comparison with the conventional sound absorbing materials, it is possible to prevent a bad influence on the ambient environment or devices. In case of forming concaves and convexes on the perforated plate(s) by embossing, the rigidity of the perforated plate(s) is improved and hence it is possible to prevent the generation of a solid sound.
- (5) The perforated plate(s) may be disposed so as to face toward the interior of the housing.
- In this case, since the perforated plate(s) is (are) disposed so as to face toward the interior of the housing, the sound absorbing structure can efficiently reduce the noise generated in the interior of the housing. Besides, since the sound absorbing structure is not disposed at the position where the shroud faces the fan, the air flow is no disturbed and the noise released from the interior of the fan device housing to the exterior can be reduced without deteriorating the air feed capacity of the fan device.
- (6) The shroud may be constituted by a cylindrical wall, the cylindrical wall being formed so as to be spaced a predetermined distance from a fan shaft which is formed perpendicularly to a front panel as a constituent of the housing, and the perforated plate(s) may be disposed substantially perpendicularly to the fan shaft.
- In this case, the sound absorbing structure is attached to the front panel which constitutes a part of the housing. The position where the sound absorbing structure is mounted is on the outer periphery side of the shroud and in an empty area of the housing. The sound absorbing structure is disposed so that its perforated surface is perpendicular to the fan shaft. That is, the perforated surface faces toward the interior of the housing. Consequently, the noise generated in the interior of the housing can be reduced efficiently. Moreover, since no sound absorbing structure is formed on the inner periphery surface of the shroud, the air flow is not obstructed and it is possible to prevent deterioration of the air feeding capacity of the fan device.
(7) The plural perforated plates may be different in the porosity in such a manner that the porosity becomes smaller in order from the outermost surface layer toward an inner layer(s). - In this case, since the plural perforated plates are different in the porosity in such a manner the porosity becomes smaller in order from the outermost layer toward an inner layer(s), the noise generated in the interior of the fan device can be reduced stepwise and effectively.
- (8) One or more partition plates are disposed in the one or plural air layers so as to divide the one or plural air layers in-plane direction of the perforated plate(s) at a spacing of half or less of the wavelength of noise concerned which is generated in the interior of the housing.
- In this case, since partition plates are formed so as to divide the one or plural air layers at a spacing of half or less of the wavelength of noise concerned which is generated in the interior of the housing, there occurs resonance in an air chamber formed behind each perforated plate, whereby it is possible to prevent an increase of the noise in the interior of the housing. As a result, the sound absorbing structure can reduce noise effectively.
