Abstract

An acoustic component is provided with a flow channel for a fluid. The flow channel has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. A flow channel section is arranged between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, wherein the flow channel section has a silencer volume connected in the flow channel section via openings to the flow channel. A flow deflection device is arranged at least in the flow channel section with the silencer volume, wherein the flow deflection device deflects a flow of the fluid in the flow channel section with the silencer volume away from the openings. The openings in the flow channel section are arranged in a sheltered zone of the flow deflection device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An acoustic component comprising:
a flow channel for air, the flow channel comprising an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and a flow channel section arranged between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe,
wherein the flow channel section comprises:
a cylindrical wall radially surrounding the flow channel where the flow channel extends through the flow channel section;
a resonator chamber having an air-filled open interior, formed at a radially outer side of the cylindrical wall, the air-filled open interior of the resonator chamber forming a silencer volume,
wherein the flow channel extends through the flow channel section;
wherein the silencer volume is connected to the flow channel in the flow channel section via openings formed in the cylindrical wall of the flow channel section;

a flow deflection device arranged at least in the flow channel section with the silencer volume,
wherein the flow deflection device comprises at least one step, formed as a step change in a cross section of the flow channel at the at least one step and positioned upstream of the openings, the flow deflection device is configured to deflect a flow of the air in the flow channel section with the silencer volume away from the openings;
wherein the openings in the flow channel section are arranged in a sheltered zone of the flow deflection device;
wherein the flow deflection device comprises
at least one longitudinal stay arranged at a radially inner side of the cylindrical wall radially surrounding the flow channel, the longitudinal stay projecting into the flow channel and extending in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis of the flow channel along the flow channel section.

2. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the flow deflection device is arranged at least at a transition of the inlet pipe into the flow channel section with the silencer volume.

3. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the flow deflection device is configured to be substantially ineffective with respect to damping.

4. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the outlet pipe comprises the same diameter or a larger diameter than the flow channel section with the silencer volume.

5. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet pipe comprises the same cross section or a larger cross section than the flow channel section with the silencer volume.

6. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the outlet pipe comprises the same diameter or a larger diameter than the flow channel section with the silencer volume and further comprises
the same cross section or a larger cross section than the flow channel section with the silencer volume.

7. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the flow channel comprises a larger diameter and/or a larger cross section in the flow channel section than in the inlet pipe.

8. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one step is sharp-edged.

9. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one step extends circumferentially about the flow channel.

10. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one longitudinal stay extends in the axial direction at least across an axial extension of the openings of the cylindrical wall.

11. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of said at least one longitudinal stay are arranged in the flow channel section about the longitudinal axis.

12. The acoustic component according to claim 1 , wherein,
along a longitudinal axis of the flow channel, sequentially two or more of said flow deflection device are arranged in two or more of said flow channel section with the silencer volume.

13. An air routing line comprising
an acoustic component according to claim 1 for an internal combustion engine,
wherein the acoustic component is arranged at a clean air side of an air inlet or wherein the acoustic component is arranged at a raw air side of an air inlet.
