Example 2
[0061] This example provides a porous bulky material, which is a bulky material prepared by evenly dispersing a raw material suspension formed from a zeolite material, an adhesive, a dispersant and a pore-forming auxiliary agent on a fiber paper. Herein, the zeolite material is a ZSM-5 molecular sieve with a particle size of 1.2 μm, including micropores with an average pore size of 0.748 nm and mesopores with an average pore size of 14.39 nm, wherein the pore volume of mesopores is 29% of the total pore volume of the zeolite material.

Therefore, the specific pore size of the intergranular interstitial pores will not be described here.
Example 3
[0064] This example provides a device capable of reducing wind noise.
[0065] As shown in
[0066] An external sound channel 21 with a pinwheel-like structure is provided inside the arc cover 2. The external sound channel 21 is composed of a central cavity and branch channels 211, 212, 213 and 214. The central cavity is located at the center of the horizontal plane where the body 1 and the arc cover 2 are connected, and the branch channels 211, 212, 213, and 214 extend evenly and radially to the arc cover 2 with the central cavity as the center, that is, the opening at one end of each branch channel communicates with the central cavity, and the opening at the other end communicates with the outside of the arc cover 2. In the horizontal direction, each branch channel is approximately on the same plane. Each branch channel is a streamlined arc structure in shape, with the diameter gradually decreasing from the outside to the inside.
[0067] An internal sound channel 11 is provided inside the body 1 along the central axis, and the axial section of the internal sound channel 11 is rectangular and the cross section thereof is circular. As shown in
[0068] The center of the PCB board 3 is provided with a through pickup hole 31. The PCB board 3 used in this example is provided with a microphone.
[0069] The pickup hole 31, the internal sound channel 11, and the central cavity communicate in this order. The diameter of the internal sound channel 11 is larger than the diameter of the pickup hole 31 and matches the diameter of the central cavity.
[0070] During the use of the device of this example, the environmental wind first enters the device from the port of each branch channel of the external sound channel 21 and has the speed reduced. The environmental wind having the speed preliminarily reduced continues to enter the internal sound channel 11 and contacts the porous bulky material 4. The porous structure in the porous bulky material 4 can further reduce the wind speed. When the speed of the environmental wind is reduced several times, the wind noise produced thereby is greatly reduced, so as to achieve the effect of improving the sound quality.
Example 4
[0071] This example provides a device capable of reducing wind noise. The structure of the device is basically the same as that of the device in Example 3, only except that the porous bulky material filled in the internal sound channel 11 is different. In this example, the porous bulky material prepared in Example 2, which has a characteristic impedance that varies from layer to layer, is used.
[0072] During the use of the device of this example, the environmental wind first enters the device from the port of each branch channel of the external sound channel 21 and has the speed reduced. The environmental wind having the speed preliminarily reduced continues to enter the internal sound channel 11 and contacts the porous bulky material 4. The porous structure in the porous bulky material 4 can further reduce the wind speed. Meanwhile, since the bulky body of the fiber paper has a characteristic impedance that varies from layer to layer from top to bottom (along the direction from the external sound channel 21 to the PCB board 3), before the environmental wind reaches the pickup hole 31, the wind noise generated by the environmental wind has been reduced from layer to layer, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the noise interference and improving the call quality.
Example 5
[0073] This example provides a device capable of reducing wind noise.
[0074]
[0075] As shown in
[0076] An external sound channel 21 with a windmill-like structure is provided inside the arc cover 2. The external sound channel 21 is composed of a central cavity and branch channels 211, 212, 213 and 214. The central cavity is located at the center of the horizontal plane where the body 1 and the arc cover 2 are connected, and the branch channels 211, 212, 213, and 214 extend evenly and radially to the arc cover 2 with the central cavity as the center, that is, the opening at one end of each branch channel communicates with the central cavity, and the opening at the other end communicates with the outside of the arc cover 2. In the horizontal direction, each branch channel is approximately on the same plane. Each branch channel is a streamlined arc structure in shape, with the diameter gradually decreasing from the outside to the inside.
[0077] An internal sound channel 11 is provided inside the body 1 along the central axis, and the axial section of the internal sound channel 11 is trapezoidal and the cross section thereof is circular. As shown in
[0078] The center of the PCB board 3 is provided with a through pickup hole 31. The PCB board 3 used in this example is provided with a microphone.
[0079] The pickup hole 31, the internal sound channel 11, and the central cavity communicate in this order. The diameter of both ends of the internal sound channel 11 matches the diameter of the pickup hole 31 and the diameter of the central cavity in contact with it, respectively.
Test Example 1
[0080] This test example provides the test results of the influence of different porous bulky materials and channel structures on the wind speed. Refer to Table 1 for details. SIMA AS8336 anemometer is used for the wind speed test. Table 1 shows the wind speed test results after passing through the porous bulky materials and different sound channel structures.
[0081] Experiment 1 is the wind speed after the environmental wind passes through a porous bulky material with unique characteristic impedance (the porous bulky material in Example 1); Experiment 2 is the wind speed after the environmental wind passes through a porous bulky material with a characteristic impedance that varies from layer to layer (the porous bulky material in Example 2); Experiment 3 is the wind speed after the environmental wind passes through the device of Example 3 (not filled with a porous bulky material) having a pinwheel-like external sound channel; Experiment 4 is the wind speed after the environmental wind passes through the device of Example 4 having a pinwheel-like external sound channel and filled with the porous bulky material in Example 2; Experiment 5 is the wind speed that the environmental wind passes through the channel of the microphone of a TWS earphone (not filled with the porous bulky material of the present disclosure).
[0082] The specific structure of the microphone of the TWS earphone used in Experiment 5 is as follows: the sound inlet part has a linear channel, the opening at one end of the sound inlet part forms a sound inlet hole, and the other end of the sound inlet hole is connected to a sound-absorbing cavity, in which a foam is filled to buffer and weaken the airflow, and the end of the sound-absorbing cavity away from the sound inlet hole is the pickup hole of the microphone. The main working principle of the microphone of the TWS earphone is as follows: when the airflow generated by the wind passes through the sound inlet part, the sound inlet hole will weaken the airflow to a certain extent, and then the airflow will be buffered and weakened by the sound-absorbing cavity until reaching the pickup hole of the microphone, which produces a certain buffering effect on the noise signal.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 (wind speed: m/s) Initial wind speed 5 4 3 2 1 Experiment 1 4 3.5 2 1 0.5 Experiment 2 3 2.5 2.2 1.8 0.6 Experiment 3 3 2 1 0.5 0.3 Experiment 4 0 0 0 0 0 Experiment 5 4.5 3.8 2.9 1.9 1
[0083] It can be seen from Table 1 that the wind speed can be effectively reduced by filling the porous bulky material provided by the present disclosure and/or the pinwheel-like external sound channel structure; the porous bulky material with a characteristic impedance that varies from layer to layer can reduce the wind speed more significantly than the porous bulky material with unique characteristic impedance. Further, the wind speed can be nearly completely eliminated to remove the wind noise, by using the electronic device having a pinwheel-like external sound channel structure and the porous bulky material having a characteristic impedance that varies from layer to layer filled therein.
