Abstract

A fan, and a silencer that silences a sound generated by the fan are provided, in which the silencer has a resonance characteristic, the silencer is disposed at a position connected to a sound field space of the sound generated by the fan, and a sum of an absorbance and a reflectivity of the silencer at a resonance frequency is 10% to 43% and a standardized half-width of the silencer is more than 0.05 and 0.25 or less.

Claims (46)

1. A blower with a silencer, the blower comprising:

a fan; and

a silencer that silences a sound generated by the fan,

wherein the silencer has a resonance characteristic,

the silencer is disposed at a position connected to a sound field space of the sound generated by the fan, and

a sum of an absorbance and a reflectivity of the silencer at a resonance frequency measured by using an acoustic pipe is 10% to 43% and a standardized half-width of the silencer is more than 0.05 and 0.25 or less.

2. The blower with a silencer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer is connected to an inner space of the fan.

3. The blower with a silencer according to claim 2 ,

wherein the silencer has a flow passage communicating with the inner space of the fan.

4. The blower with a silencer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resonance frequency of the silencer measured by using the acoustic pipe deviates from a frequency of a discrete frequency sound caused by the fan by 1% to 10%.

5. The blower with a silencer according to claim 2 ,

wherein the resonance frequency of the silencer measured by using the acoustic pipe deviates from a frequency of a discrete frequency sound caused by the fan by 1% to 10%.

6. The blower with a silencer according to claim 3 ,

wherein the resonance frequency of the silencer measured by using the acoustic pipe deviates from a frequency of a discrete frequency sound caused by the fan by 1% to 10%.

7. The blower with a silencer according to claim 4 ,

wherein the silencer is connected to a position at which a sound pressure of a sound pressure distribution at the frequency of the discrete frequency sound caused by the fan is high, and

the resonance frequency of the silencer is lower than the frequency of the discrete frequency sound.

8. The blower with a silencer according to claim 4 ,

wherein the silencer is connected to a position at which a sound pressure of a sound pressure distribution at the frequency of the discrete frequency sound caused by the fan is low, and

the resonance frequency of the silencer is higher than the frequency of the discrete frequency sound.

9. The blower with a silencer according to of claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer is an air column resonator, and

a resonance pipe of the air column resonator has a bent structure.

10. The blower with a silencer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer is a combination of a resonator and a porous sound absorbing material.

11. The blower with a silencer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fan is an axial fan, and

the silencer is disposed at a position that does not overlap with a region formed by rotation of a rotor blade as viewed from an axial direction of the axial fan.

12. The blower with a silencer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fan is an axial fan having a fixed blade, and

the silencer is connected to at least one fixed blade opening portion between the fixed blades.

13. The blower with a silencer according to claim 12 ,

wherein the silencer is connected to all the fixed blade opening portions.

14. A moving object with a propeller, the moving object comprising:

the blower with a silencer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fan of the blower with a silencer is a propeller, and

the moving object with a propeller flies by rotation of the propeller.

15. The moving object with a propeller according to claim 14 ,

wherein the silencer of the blower with a silencer is disposed around the propeller to form a propeller guard.

16. The moving object with a propeller according to claim 14 ,

wherein an outer shape of the silencer in a case in which the silencer of the blower with a silencer is viewed from a rotation axis direction of the propeller is a circle or an arc.

17. The moving object with a propeller according to claim 16 ,

wherein the silencer is an air column resonator including a bent resonance pipe, and

a part of the resonance pipe is bent in an arc shape in a case in which the silencer is viewed from the rotation axis direction.
