Abstract

PURPOSE:To make uniform the field of sound at the outlet from a duct and enhance the radiating efficiency of a speaker by furnishing a silencer device concerned with a silencing speaker which nullifies sounds transmitted from a sound source, wherein the speaker is formed ring-shapedly and surrounds the center axis of the duct. CONSTITUTION:Sound from a sound source 1 is received by a sound collecting microphone 3, and the output signal therefrom is multiplied in a signal converter circuit 5 with a factor determined through calculation so that the sonic pressure at the outlet from a duct 2 becomes zero. Thereby secondary sounds are generated from a silencing speaker 11. As the silencing speaker 11 is formed ring- shapedly and exteriorly fitted near the outlet from duct 2, it is equivalent to the secondary sounds being distributed uniformly in the form of a ring, that contributes to prevention of unevenness in the field of sound. Also use of a piezo speaker enables enhancing the radiating efficiency till the low frequency range without requiring large a wide space for speaker installation.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention collects sound propagating inside a duct-like structure and generates secondary sound from a muffling speaker near the duct exit. The present invention relates to a muffling device that actively extinguishes sound by

This device installs a sound collection microphone 3 at a specific location of a duct 2 that propagates the sound generated from a sound source 1, and also installs a noise-reducing speaker 4 near the exit of the duct 2. A speaker 4 is connected to the signal conversion circuit 5 via a signal conversion circuit 5.

The sound emitted from the sound source 1 propagates in the duct 2 as a plane wave in the low frequency range determined by the dimensions of the duct 2, and is collected by the sound collection microphone 3. The phase of the sampled electrical signal is inverted by the signal conversion circuit 5 and then supplied to the silencing speaker 4. As a result, a secondary sound for silencing is generated from the silencing speaker 4, and this secondary sound is muted by interfering with the sound from the sound source 1.

By the way, in such a muffling device, the optimum shape of the muffling speaker 4 is determined depending on the frequency of the sound to be muffled. In other words, in general, the radiation efficiency of speakers deteriorates in the low frequency range, so in order to prevent this it is necessary to use speakers with as large a diameter as possible, but in reality, due to the installation space, such It was not possible to use large speakers.

Furthermore, in the conventional silencer, the sound 6 propagating inside the duct 2 is a plane wave that travels in the direction of the central axis of the duct 2, whereas the secondary sound 7 from the speaker 4 is not directed toward the central axis of the duct 2. Since the sound is emitted in the vertical direction, if the sound deadening speaker 4 is placed just before the exit of the duct 2, the sound deadening speaker 4
Therefore, a plane wave in the axial direction of the duct cannot be obtained just before the exit, resulting in uneven distribution of the sound field as shown by 8 in FIG. 6, and there is a problem in that a sufficient silencing effect cannot be obtained.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) A silencer according to the present invention includes a tubular duct for propagating sound from a sound source, and a microphone for collecting the sound propagated from the sound source within the duct. , a signal converter that inverts the phase of the output signal of the microphone; and a signal converter that is provided at the outlet of the duct and is driven by the output signal from the signal converter to generate a secondary sound that eliminates the sound propagated from the sound source. In the noise reduction device including a noise reduction speaker, the noise reduction speaker is an annular speaker surrounding a central axis of the duct.

Furthermore, as is clear from Huygens' principle, the wavefront propagated from a point sound source becomes a superposition of wavefronts that occur when a plurality of other point sound sources are placed on top of that wavefront. In the present invention, the annular speakers installed so as to surround the central axis of the duct can be considered as a collection of point sound sources.
The wavefront generated when sound emitted from a position on the central axis of the duct that can be considered as a point sound source propagates inside the duct matches the wavefront when the sounds from each point sound source of the annular speaker are superimposed. It can be set as follows. Therefore, by arranging noise-muffling speakers that produce secondary sound so as to surround the center axis of the duct, a sufficient sound-muffling effect can be obtained even for sound sources that spread two-dimensionally from the center axis of the duct to the outer periphery. I can do it.

Furthermore, when a piezoelectric speaker is used as an annular speaker for noise reduction, the entire surface of the piezoelectric speaker vibrates, so even if the piezoelectric speaker is small, high radiation efficiency can be obtained even in the low frequency range. Furthermore, since the duct also serves as a baffle, it has the effect of ensuring high radiation efficiency up to the low frequency range.
