Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively suppress a noise generated inside an external frame by providing a resonance type sound absorber in the internal corner part of the external frame. CONSTITUTION:In the outer corner part inside an external frame 1, a Helmholtz type resonator 11 is longitudinally installed in one or plural number. The Helmholtz type resonator 11 is in a triangle pole shape, and the size of a hole, the volume of a cavity and a plate thickness are designed so that the resonators are resonated in the vicinity of 300Hz, respectively. Thus, an incident acoustic impedance in the corner part is made small in the vicinity of 300Hz, and the noise due to the vibrations of a dewatering tank 9 and an external tank 3 can be suppressed.

Normally, in automatic washing machines, the clothes you want to wash and the detergent are placed in the dehydration tank 9.
When the machine is inserted into the machine and energized, a certain amount of water is supplied, and when the supply of water is finished, the stirring blades 10 automatically start rotating to wash the clothes while stirring them. When the laundry is finished.

Draining and rinsing are performed, and after the draining is completed, the dehydration tank 9 rotates and the clothes are centrifugally dehydrated. During this dewatering process, an imbalance occurs due to the clothes being lopsided, causing the dehydration tank 9 and outer tank 3 to vibrate violently, resulting in increased noise.

In conventional washing machines without the Helmholtz resonator 11, the 300 Hz component is particularly loud as noise during the dehydration process.

300 Hz付近の騒音は自動洗濯機固有のものであり

It was found that the noise around 300 Hz is unique to automatic washing machines and comes from the dimensions of the outer frame 1.

That is, the length and width of the outer frame 1 are about 55 cm, and the cavity resonance frequency determined by f=c/2Q (c: speed of sound, a: length) is about 300 Hz. Therefore 300H
It is thought that a half-wavelength standing wave 12 is generated near z, and the electromagnetic vibration of the motor 6 and the unbalanced vibration of the dehydration tank 9 cause the outer tank 3 and the like to vibrate, increasing the noise around 300 Hz.

In this example, we focused on the fact that the sound pressure of the standing wave is maximum at the inner corner of the outer frame 1, and in order to maximize the use of the corner space, the Helmholtz resonance @11 was As shown in Figure 1, 0 is arranged vertically at each corner.
The Helmholtz resonators 11 of this embodiment have a triangular prism shape, and the hole size, cavity volume, and plate thickness are designed so that each resonator resonates around 300 Hz. Each resonator may be built one on top of the other, or may be integrated into one piece with a cutout. By creating a structure with a diameter of 0 or more, the incident acoustic impedance at the corner becomes small around 300 Hz, and it becomes constant. Wave presence is suppressed. Note that one resonator 11 may be provided at each corner, but the effect is greater if multiple small resonators are stacked, that is, if there are more holes,
If it is made of a material with high sound absorption properties, the frequency range that can be absorbed will be expanded and the effect will be greater.

Another embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 5. In this embodiment, 1
The resonator 11 is divided into two parts, and the resonant frequency of each is matched to the cavity resonant frequency in each direction. Therefore,
This is effective in absorbing both vertical and horizontal standing waves. The reason why the resonator 11 is shaped like a pentagonal column is to avoid collision with the outer tank, and if there is no danger of this, it may be shaped like a square column or may not be shaped like a polygonal column.

Other embodiments will be explained with reference to FIG. The sound absorber of this embodiment consists of a perforated plate 12 and an elastic body 13 for support.
The perforated plate 12 is L-shaped along the inner corner of the outer frame 1. The perforated plate 12 also has holes formed at equal pitches, and the diameter of the holes.

The plate thickness, pitch length, and clearance between the outer frame 1 and the perforated plate 12 are independent in the vertical and horizontal directions, and are designed to match the cavity resonance frequencies of the outer frame 1 in the vertical and horizontal directions. By creating a structure like this, the holes in the perforated plate 12 and the perforated plate 12
The air layer between the outer frame 1 and the outer frame 1 resonates, and absorbs noise around the resonance frequency of the cavity inside the outer frame 1. If sound-absorbing material is attached to a perforated board, the frequency range that can be absorbed will be expanded and the effect will be great.
