Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a liquid oxygen vent silencer, and more specifically, to a liquid oxygen vent silencer implemented so as to minimize edges colliding with oxygen gas and eliminate potentially explosive elements.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, a gas diffusing tower is installed in a gas base station. This gas diffusing tower is installed and used for the purpose of preventing safety accidents by discharging the gas remaining in a gas pipe to the atmosphere when maintenance is required due to an abnormality such as a gas leak in the gas pipe installed in the gas base station, causing the pressure inside the diffusing tower to exceed a set value.

This type of gas diffusing tower may be installed vertically at a height of about 20 to 30 m at a predetermined location on a gas pipe connection line of the gas base station, a scaffolding may be installed at a predetermined location on an outer side of a central portion and an outer side of an upper end portion of the diffusing tower so that a worker can climb up and perform the intended work, and a ladder may be installed from the ground to the scaffolding on the outer side of the upper end portion so that the worker can climb up to the scaffolding.

In addition, a lid is installed on the upper portion of the diffusing tower so that the lid can be opened and closed.

As mentioned above, when gas leaks from the gas pipe and the gas pressure inside the diffusing tower rises above the set value, the lid of the gas diffusing tower is opened so that the gas inside the gas diffusing tower is discharged into the atmosphere, thereby preventing safety accidents such as gas explosions from occurring, and the gas pipe installed on the lower portion of the inside of the gas diffusing tower can be inspected or the remaining gas in the gas pipe can be discharged for maintenance.

However, in the related art, there is a problem that when gas leaked from the gas pipe through the gas diffusing tower and the gas pressure inside the diffusing tower increases above the set value, or when gas is discharged through the diffusing tower to perform maintenance and inspection of the gas pipe, high acoustic energy and strong pulse-type pressure waves (impulsive noise with a duration) are generated due to the speed and pressure of the gas discharged at high pressure and high speed.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, even in the related art, a silencer having built-in sound-absorbing material is installed at the upper end portion of the diffusing tower to reduce noise when gas is discharged.

However,, even in this case, when low-pressure discharge gas with a flow rate of at least 30 m/sec or less flows into the silencer through the diffusing tower, the sound-absorbing material built into the silencer is damaged by the high-temperature and high-pressure discharge gas and scattered, and thus, proper sound absorption cannot be achieved. In addition, there is a problem that the lifespan of the silencer is shortened and frequent maintenance is required.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned background technology is technical information that the present inventor possesses for deriving the present disclosure or acquires in the process of deriving the present disclosure, and cannot necessarily be said to be a publicly known technology disclosed to the general public before the application of the present disclosure.

The liquid oxygen vent according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit that controls an operation of the silencer body, and the control unit includes an environmental detection sensor unit that measures a gas flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust component inside the silencer body, an ultrasonic echo sensor unit that measures acoustic characteristics generated from the exhaust port of the silencer in real time, a variable exhaust port control unit that forms or alleviates turbulence by controlling a pressure and flow rate of an exhaust gas, a resonance damping flow control unit that controls a flow path inside the exhaust port to suppress a resonance phenomenon generated at the exhaust port, a low-temperature liquid injection unit that induces noise reduction by controlling the temperature of the exhaust gas, and a pattern analysis and learning module that analyzes data patterns based on machine learning and automatically applies an optimal noise reduction algorithm. The environmental detection sensor unit is installed to monitor the gas flow inside the silencer body in real time, and is configured to measure the flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust components. The sensor unit acquires data at specific time intervals and analyzes the flow state of the exhaust gas to evaluate a silencer operating environment. When the pressure and temperature change rate of the gas exceed a certain threshold, the control unit determines whether the environment affects noise increase and generates a control signal to perform follow-up measures if necessary.

The ultrasonic echo sensor unit is disposed to measure the acoustic characteristics generated in the exhaust port in real time. The sensor unit analyzes the acoustic signal generated by the gas flow in the exhaust port and evaluates whether noise is concentrated or resonance occurs in a specific frequency band. When the gas emitted from the exhaust port interacts with the structure and is amplified at a specific frequency, the control unit analyzes this and determines the optimal measure to suppress the resonance phenomenon.

The variable exhaust port control unit is configured to control the turbulence formation by adjusting the pressure and flow rate of the exhaust gas. The control unit may analyze whether the gas flow in the exhaust port affects noise generation based on the data acquired from the environmental detection sensor unit, and may induce the noise reduction effect by adjusting the exhaust port opening degree. The variable exhaust port control unit may be controlled mechanically or hydrodynamically and functions to limit noise emissions in a specific direction by adjusting the gas distribution inside the exhaust port.

The resonance damping flow control unit is a component that suppresses the resonance phenomenon by adjusting the flow path inside the exhaust port. When resonance is detected inside the exhaust port, the control unit activates the resonance damping flow control unit to change the gas flow and prevent noise concentration in a specific frequency band. The flow control unit may be implemented in a way that minimizes the resonance effect by changing the internal structure of the exhaust port or by using an additional flow distribution device.

The low-temperature liquid injection unit controls the temperature of the exhaust gas to induce the noise reduction effect. The control unit analyzes the effect of the temperature of the exhaust gas on noise generation, and when the temperature exceeds a certain temperature range, the control unit injects low-temperature liquid to change the density of the gas, thereby reducing noise. The low-temperature liquid is mixed with the gas inside the exhaust port and discharged, thereby changing the characteristics of the exhaust gas and controlling the turbulence and resonance effects.

The pattern analysis and learning module is configured to continuously analyze data based on machine learning and automatically apply the optimal noise reduction algorithm according to changes in environmental conditions. The module trains past data and automatically determines appropriate control measures when a similar environment occurs, and continuously improves noise reduction performance by reflecting new data in real time. The pattern analysis and learning module analyzes the state of exhaust gas, noise generation patterns, and environmental variables to derive the optimal noise reduction strategy under specific conditions.

The components according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied individually or in combination, and are not limited to a specific method and can be modified in various ways. In addition, the individual components of the present disclosure can be adjusted in an optimal manner according to the characteristics of the exhaust gas and the noise reduction requirement, and can be implemented in various ways to more efficiently control the operation of the silencer body.

When the control unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure receives the gas flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust component data measured by the environmental detection sensor unit, the control unit identifies them and calculates a real-time change rate for each of them, and when it is identified that noise at the silencer exhaust port exceeds a preset first reference value, the control unit activates the variable exhaust port control unit to adjust an exhaust flow rate, adjusts an exhaust port opening degree so that a mixing method of the exhaust gas and an outside air changes, and uses the ultrasonic echo sensor unit to analyze whether acoustic resonance occurs in the exhaust port, operates the resonance damping flow control unit to change the flow path inside the exhaust port and adjust an air distribution structure so that noise is not concentrated in a specific frequency band when the resonance phenomenon is detected at a preset first frequency, operates the low-temperature liquid injection unit to inject low-temperature liquid inside the exhaust port and mix the low-temperature liquid with the exhaust gas to change the density and induce a noise reduction effect when the temperature of the exhausted gas exceeds a preset first temperature, continuously analyzes data collected throughout all the processes through a machine learning-based pattern analysis and learning module, trains past data to improve noise reduction performance according to changes in environmental conditions, and automatically applies an optimal noise reduction algorithm when a similar environment occurs.

The control unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure receives the gas flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust component data measured by the environmental detection sensor unit in real time, and calculates the change rate of each by analyzing the received data. The change in the gas flow rate is closely related to whether turbulence is formed in the exhaust port, and the change in the pressure affects the velocity and emission pattern of the exhaust gas. The change in the temperature determines the density and flow characteristics of the exhaust gas, and the exhaust component data acts as a major factor affecting noise generation. The control unit comprehensively analyzes these factors to predict the noise generation pattern and determines whether the noise generated from the exhaust port is likely to exceed the preset first reference value.

When it is identified that the noise exceeds the preset reference value, the control unit activates the variable exhaust port control unit to adjust the exhaust flow rate. The variable exhaust port control unit changes the flow of exhaust gas by adjusting the exhaust port opening degree, and controls the mixing method of exhaust gas and outside air. As the mixing method changes, the flow characteristics of the gas passing through the exhaust port change, which can induce a noise reduction effect in a specific frequency band.

The ultrasonic echo sensor unit analyzes in real time whether the gas emitted from the exhaust port forms a resonance at a specific frequency band. The noise may be amplified at a specific frequency due to interaction with structures surrounding the exhaust port, and when this phenomenon is detected, the control unit operates the resonance damping flow control unit to change the flow path inside the exhaust port. The change in the flow path is designed to prevent the exhaust gas from resonating at a specific frequency, and the phenomenon of noise being concentrated in a specific direction is suppressed by adjusting the air distribution structure.

When the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds the preset first temperature, the control unit operates the low-temperature liquid injection unit to inject low-temperature liquid into the exhaust port. The low-temperature liquid is mixed with the exhaust gas, changing the gas density, which changes the characteristics of the noise generated from the exhaust port. When the density of the exhaust gas is adjusted within a specific temperature range, the noise reduction effect is maximized, and in the process, the turbulence formation pattern inside the exhaust port can be optimized. The data collected in all the processes is

continuously analyzed through the machine learning-based pattern analysis and learning module. The learning module trains noise reduction patterns according to environmental changes based on past data, and automatically applies the optimal noise reduction algorithm when a similar environment occurs based on the training. For example, when a tendency for noise of a certain frequency to be amplified under certain gas flow rate and pressure conditions is repeatedly observed, the control unit controls to predict the possibility of the condition recurring in advance and operates the variable exhaust port control unit and the resonance damping flow control unit in advance to prevent noise amplification.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation method of the control unit is designed to maintain the optimal noise reduction effect even under various environmental conditions, and the flow of exhaust gas can be optimized in real time by utilizing a combination of the variable exhaust port control unit, the resonance damping flow control unit, the low-temperature liquid injection unit, and the like. The control method of the present disclosure is not limited to a specific structure or method, and can be applied through various modifications.

The control unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure controls the operation of the silencer body based on mathematical modeling, predicts noise intensity that occurs in the exhaust port using the gas flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust component data collected from the environmental detection sensor unit, identifies a change in the noise intensity by reflecting structural characteristics of the silencer and gas flow characteristics, adjusts the exhaust port opening degree in real time to control the pressure and flow rate of the exhaust gas and analyzes a degree to which the gas forms turbulence in the exhaust port to determine a flow state capable of reducing noise when it is determined that the noise intensity in the exhaust port is likely to exceed a certain level, evaluates whether resonance is likely to occur at a specific frequency around the exhaust port based on the data measured by the ultrasonic echo sensor unit, and changes the flow path inside the exhaust port to prevent noise concentration in a specific frequency band when resonance is detected, calculates an appropriate amount of cooling for noise reduction by considering thermal characteristics and exhaust speed of the exhaust gas when the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds a certain level, and supplies cooling fluid into the exhaust port by operating the low-temperature liquid injection unit to change the gas density and induce noise reduction effect, and analyzes the data collected in the mathematical modeling process in real time using the machine learning-based pattern analysis and learning module, and automatically adjusts the exhaust port opening degree, the flow path, or a cooling method to optimize noise reduction performance according to an environmental change by training past data.

The control unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure controls the operation of the silencer body based on the mathematical modeling, predicts noise intensity that may occur in an exhaust port using gas flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust component data collected from an environmental detection sensor unit, and identifies changes in noise intensity by reflecting structural characteristics and gas flow characteristics of the silencer. In the process of predicting the noise intensity, whether turbulence is formed according to changes in gas flow rate and pressure is analyzed, and whether noise in the exhaust port is likely to exceed a certain level is evaluated in real time.

When the noise intensity is expected to increase in the exhaust port, the exhaust port opening degree is adjusted in real time to control the pressure and flow rate of the exhaust gas, and the formation degree of turbulence of the gas inside the exhaust port is analyzed to determine the flow state that can reduce noise. The variable exhaust port control unit is configured to finely adjust the exhaust port opening degree, and controls the gas exhaust speed in real time to prevent the formation of a specific turbulent region. In the turbulence control process, the flow pattern of the gas generated inside the exhaust port is analyzed, and the exhaust port opening degree is optimized so that the noise is not amplified due to friction with the wall surface of the exhaust port.

Based on the data measured by the ultrasonic echo sensor unit, whether resonance is likely to occur at a specific frequency around the exhaust port is evaluated, and when the resonance is detected, the flow path inside the exhaust port is changed to prevent the noise concentration in a specific frequency band. The resonance damping flow control unit is designed to disperse a specific frequency range where resonance occurs by adjusting the variable flow path placed inside the exhaust port and reduce reflected waves generated around the exhaust port. In the resonance damping process, the air distribution structure is changed to suppress the phenomenon of noise concentration in a specific frequency band, and if necessary, an acoustic dispersion structure is formed inside the exhaust port to control so that the noise is not amplified in a specific direction.

When the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds a certain level, the appropriate cooling amount for noise reduction is calculated by considering the thermal characteristics and exhaust speed of the exhaust gas, and the low-temperature liquid injection unit is operated to supply cooling fluid into the exhaust port to change the gas density and induce the noise reduction effect. During the cooling process, the optimal cooling method is determined by reflecting the temperature of the exhaust gas and the characteristics of the cooling fluid, and the noise reduction effect is adjusted according to the way the cooling fluid is mixed with the gas. For example, when a cooling fluid is injected to be uniformly distributed inside the exhaust port, the noise reduction effect is maximized as the temperature of the exhaust gas gradually decreases.

The data collected during the mathematical modeling process is analyzed in real time using a machine learning-based pattern analysis and learning module, and is implemented to automatically adjust the exhaust port opening degree, flow path, cooling method, or the like to optimize noise reduction performance according to environmental changes by training past data. The learning module builds the optimal noise reduction algorithm based on data collected under various environmental conditions, and provides the optimal noise reduction effect by adjusting the frequency of adjusting the opening degree of the exhaust port, the timing of changing the flow path, and the amount of cooling fluid injected in real time. Accordingly, the operation of the silencer body is designed to adaptively respond to environmental changes, and the operation is controlled to minimize noise generated from the exhaust port.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit is implemented to analyze the noise intensity generated from the exhaust port in real time, identify noise amplification factors in advance and control. the noise amplification factors, and comprehensively evaluate the turbulence, resonance, and thermal changes occurring inside the exhaust port to perform the optimal noise reduction measures. The present disclosure is not limited to a specific method or structure and may be applied in various ways.

The control unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure constructs the real-time prediction model based on the gas flow rate, pressure, temperature, and exhaust component data collected from the environmental detection sensor unit to predict changes in noise generated from the exhaust port in advance, and identifies conditions with a high possibility of noise increase in advance using the model. The environmental detection sensor unit measures the flow characteristics of gas through multiple sensors at specific points inside the exhaust port, and quantitatively evaluates the possibility of noise generation by comprehensively analyzing the rate of change in flow rate, pressure difference, temperature distribution, and changes in exhaust components. For example, when the flow rate inside the exhaust port changes rapidly or the pressure difference increases beyond a specific threshold, it is identified as a state with a high possibility of noise generation, and the control unit performs preemptive noise reduction measures based on this.

The velocity distribution and turbulence formation area of the fluid flow in the exhaust port are analyzed in real time, and the noise reduction effect is optimized by controlling the gas flow in three dimensions using the exhaust port opening degree and the multi-flow path control device inside the exhaust port. The variable exhaust port control unit finely adjusts the opening degree of the exhaust port to optimize the gas exhaust speed, and the multi-flow path control device placed inside the exhaust port controls the flow of the exhaust gas to prevent turbulence from forming in a specific area. The turbulence occurs when the gas collides with the wall surface or the flow rate difference is large inside the exhaust port, so the opening degree of the exhaust port is adjusted and the flow rate distribution is distributed evenly to maintain the fluid flow stably. The control unit analyzes whether turbulence is likely to be concentrated in a specific area of the exhaust port using a fluid analysis model, and when a specific pressure difference is exceeded, the variable exhaust port control unit and the multi-flow path control device are operated simultaneously to alleviate the turbulence.

The flow characteristics of the exhaust gas are automatically controlled by reflecting the external environmental factors including temperature and humidity inside the silencer and around the exhaust port, and the cooling injection pattern is changed to maximize the noise reduction effect under specific external climate conditions. Since the temperature and humidity affect the density and propagation speed of the exhaust gas, the control unit sets the reference value reflecting the average temperature and humidity by season, and when the external temperature measured in real time exceeds the reference value, the cooling fluid injection amount is adjusted to control the density of the gas. For example, when the external temperature is high, the temperature rise of the gas inside the exhaust port is likely to cause noise amplification, so the control unit operates the low-temperature liquid injection unit to quickly lower the temperature inside the exhaust port to prevent the noise amplification.

The gas distribution inside the exhaust port is modeled as a multi-layer, and the pressure difference at each noise generation location is analyzed to predict the pattern of noise increase in a specific frequency band in advance, and the gas mixing ratio inside the exhaust port is automatically adjusted based on the prediction to prevent resonance from forming. Depending on the speed and pressure difference of the gas inside the exhaust port, the acoustic resonance may occur at a specific point, which becomes the main cause of noise amplification. The control unit analyzes the acoustic signal inside the exhaust port using the ultrasonic echo sensor unit, and when the resonance is detected at a specific frequency, the variable exhaust port control unit and the resonance damping flow control unit are simultaneously activated to change the pressure distribution inside the exhaust port. This prevents the phenomenon of noise concentration in a specific frequency band and prevents resonance from forming by adjusting the gas discharge pattern.

In the process, the data collected in real time is analyzed using a machine learning-based adaptive control system, and the noise intensity that may occur in the exhaust port is predicted in advance, and the exhaust port opening degree, multi-flow path control device, and cooling fluid injection amount are preemptively adjusted to suppress the noise generation. The machine learning-based control system trains environmental data and noise patterns to automatically determine the optimal noise reduction measures under specific conditions. For example, when the exhaust port opening degree increases above a certain level, the noise pattern that occurred in the same environment in the past data is analyzed to predict the possibility of noise amplification, and the internal flow path of the exhaust port is changed in advance to suppress noise generation. In addition, the cooling fluid injection amount is also adjusted in real time, and the temperature change of the exhaust gas is trained so that the optimal cooling method can be automatically applied in a specific temperature range. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the control unit is designed to analyze the noise intensity generated from the exhaust port in real time, predict conditions that may increase noise in advance, and automatically adjust the exhaust port opening degree, fluid flow, cooling method, or the like to maximize the noise reduction performance. In addition, the above-described operations are not limited to a specific method and can be applied through various modifications, and the control algorithm can be adjusted to optimize the noise reduction effect in various environments.
