[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a vehicle interior noise reduction device, and particularly to a device for actively reducing low-frequency noise in a closed space of a vehicle such as an automobile that has a periodic sound source. This is related to equipment. [Prior Art] Noise inside a vehicle such as an automobile is caused by the resonance phenomenon that occurs in the vehicle interior, which forms a closed space, under certain conditions.
The cause of this is thought to be the vibrational force of the engine's rotation. The measures initially taken to reduce such noise were passive, such as improving the coupling rigidity of the engine system, which is the source of vibration, and improving the coupling rigidity of the transmission system. The company tuned each mount, increased the panel rigidity of the sounding element inside the vehicle, and also installed mass dampers, dynamic dampers, etc. on the resonant parts to prevent resonance. Such passive means increased cost and weight, and were insufficiently effective. On the other hand, in the case of a 4-cylinder engine, such cabin noise is caused by two explosions per revolution of the crankshaft, and is thought to be mainly caused by the engine rotational order, which is the so-called secondary engine rotational component. Conventional techniques that attempt to actively reduce the muffled sound caused by such factors include Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 599699 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 62-12705.
Publication No. 1 etc. have already been proposed.

In these conventional technologies, the ignition pulse is detected as a secondary component of engine rotation, this pulse signal is processed in various ways, and each frequency component (rotational order division) of the noise observed at the driver's reception point in the vehicle interior is detected. By separately adding sound from a speaker that is in opposite phase and has the same magnitude as the noise component, the interference effect cancels out and reduces the noise level at the listening point. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned conventional example is a device for reducing only the muffled noise caused by the secondary influence of engine rotation among the noise inside the vehicle, and the explosion (rotation) of the engine Rotation by 2
Even if there is a noise component caused by a rotation order component (explosion order component) other than the next component, it cannot be removed, and the noise reduction will not be optimal.

In the vehicle interior noise reduction device according to the present invention, as shown in the equivalent block diagram of FIG. 1, G is the overall transfer function of the vehicle interior vibration system excited by engine vibration,
Based on the vibration of the engine, the engine mount transfer function (MTG), the torque rod transfer function, the cab mount transfer function, etc. are used. This is what is observed near the ear in the form of cabin noise Y (n). In this case, the engine vibration itself is due to the second-order vibration of the engine rotation, but the cabin noise Y (
n) includes factors other than the quadratic engine speed due to the transfer function G. This transfer function G is an unknown value, and the controller 5 identifies the inverse transfer function G-' of this transfer function.
(n) and the output signal e (n) from the microphone are always input, and based on these signals, the well-known LM
The speaker output y (n
) to offset the above-mentioned cabin noise Y (n).
By proceeding with this adaptive operation, the interior noise that cannot be canceled out by the speaker output will gradually become smaller. Therefore, if an adaptive controller is used as in the present invention, all of the engine vibration detection signals among the information input to the microphone inside the vehicle are subject to control, and noise other than the engine order noise can also be canceled out. In-vehicle noise can be reduced more completely and quickly. [Embodiment] Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the vehicle interior noise reduction device according to the present invention, in which 1 is the interior of the vehicle, 2 is the engine of the automobile 1, and 3 is the engine vibration of the engine 2. 4 is a microphone that detects the noise level inside the vehicle; 5 is a sensor that detects
6 is a controller that identifies the inverse transfer function of the transfer function of the vibration system of the vehicle body excited by engine vibration based on the outputs of sensors 3 and 4; 6 is a speaker that generates a sound to reduce noise; 7 is a signal from controller 5; This is an amplifier that amplifies and drives the speaker 6. Note that a knock sensor may be used as the sensor 3. FIG. 3 shows an example of the controller shown in FIG. 2. In this example, an adaptive digital filter is used, and adaptive algorithms include the well-known steepest descent method, learning identification method, etc. , LMS method, etc., but the LMS method is used here. In addition, n Z-1 designates delay elements for delaying engine vibration X (n) for each sample, and n h(
0) to h (n-1) are filter (tap) coefficients for multiplying each delay element Z-1, and each filter coefficient is determined by the LMS algorithm, that is, h(++1)=h(i
)+2 tt e(n) updated every sample according to X(ni). However, i=0...n. μ is the step size. Then, by performing a convolution operation in which each sample of engine vibration X (n) is multiplied by such a filter coefficient and added, an output signal y (n) to be output to the speaker 6 via the amplifier 7 is obtained. By subtracting this speaker output y (n) from the sound pressure Y (n) actually observed near the driver's ear, the output from the microphone 4 e (n) = Y (n) −
y (n) is generated and the filter coefficients are updated again using the LMS algorithm based on this, it is possible to gradually identify the inverse transfer function G-1 of the transfer function G of the vibration system in the vehicle interior. The microphone output e (n) can be converged to the minimum value. It should be noted that the engine vibration signal It can be converged. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, the vehicle interior noise reduction device according to the present invention uses an adaptive controller to convert the inverse transfer function of the transfer function of the vehicle interior vibration system up to the ear caused by engine vibration into an engine vibration signal. As shown in the engine rotation order proportional analysis diagram in Figure 4, the conventional example is shown in Figure 4 (a). It can be seen that, compared to the figure (b) according to the present invention, power components other than the engine rotation secondary power component are also canceled out. Therefore, there is no need to use multiple oscillators corresponding to the rotational order fluctuations caused by engine explosion, and it is also possible to detect the ignition signal and ignition timing, and to make corrections according to the vehicle condition, vehicle external environment, etc. Utsukai Showa 62-12705
There is no need for advance angle correction (as shown in Publication No. 2), and cabin noise reduction can be achieved with a simplified system that includes all rotational order components that should be controlled by engine rotation. Furthermore, since the engine vibration itself is detected to reduce cabin noise, control is performed based on the relationship between input and output, and the control system also takes into account changes in the characteristics of the vibration transmission system, making it highly resistant to external disturbances and robust. This has the effect of allowing you to build a system with high performance.
