Description

Acoustic attenuation earmuff with isolated duplex shell structure
The cross reference of related application
[1] the application requires the priority of the provisional application 60/872,669 of submission on December 4th, 2006.For all purposes, this 60/872,669 application all is combined in this, as a reference.
Technical field
[2] disclosure relates in general to the earmuff with the ear cup that is suitable for use as the wear-type hearing protectors.More specifically, this openly relates to the earmuff that comprises the ears cup, one of them cup be positioned at fully in another ear cup and with this another ear cup mechanical isolation, and relate to and be used for the ear sealing that earmuff therewith uses together.
Background technology
[3] the wear-type ear shield device is often used in undesirable sound level and is higher than the protection of avoiding hearing impairment or hearing loss in the noisy environment of safety margin.Compare with hearing protectors such as other type of earplug; earmuff (promptly; the wear-type earmuff) in using, is preferred usually as single hearing protection of main hearing protection because that they are easy to wear off, decay is reliable, the training to the user, technical ability and motivation have less dependence, to the less sensitivity of assembling and the fexible unit that can wear as single-size.Ear shield device well known in the prior art generally comprises a pair of ear cup of being made by firm plastic material.Each ear cup normally single wall and be lined with acoustical material in inside to help to weaken and absorb acoustic energy.Two ear cups are installed on the end of spring-like headband, and this headband provides clamping force to contact with wearer's head to keep ear cup.To have annular concentric and have certain thickness soft ear pad (that is, ear sealing) and insert between ear cup and wearer's the head, be used for comfortable purpose and ideally, form gas-tight seal on every side at ear.The developer constantly pursues maximum acoustic attenuation ability so that the best protection to Noise Exposure to be provided.
[4] such as the sound wave below the 1000Hz kept burning day and night show than the big lower frequency of the size of earmuff under, as by the rigid mass of cushion against wearer's head vibration, the ear cup in the earmuff assemblies is by the acoustic energy displacement.That is to say, under the low frequency that is in proportion of acoustic pressure under ear cup and ear cup displacement, this ear cup can be used as single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) vibrational system.Therefore, under low-frequency range, the sound attenuation performance of earmuff assemblies depends on ear cup volume, quality, headband clamping force and cushion stiffness substantially.In the mass/volume by increasing cup with increase the headband clamping force and improve the ear shield device of the above-mentioned type with the assembling of fastening ear pad and the rigidity that improves pad, the acoustic attenuation aspect that promptly has the earmuff of single-walled cup has been made a lot of trials.
[5] such as 1000Hz under above upper frequency, sound wave length become with the earmuff size quite or even less than the earmuff size, the beam mode of ear cup is subjected to the excitation of acoustic energy.The sound attenuation performance of earmuff is mainly determined by the rigidity of structure and by the acoustic resonance in ear cup and wearer's the chamber that surrounds then.Therefore, made much the trial that the acoustic damping of the rigidity of structure by increasing cup and/or cup inboard, chamber improves the high frequency sound attenuation performance of ear shield device.In addition, a lot of other trials have also been made aspect earmuff comfortableness and the minimum air leakage increasing by the various ear Seal Design that are used for using with the earmuff that particularly has single-walled cup.
[6] although these trials may cause certain raising of decaying, but owing to increase quality, volume and the headband clamping force of cup, raising liner rigidity is also carried out structure to cup and is strengthened having reduced comfortable grade usually, so the raising of the decay that causes thus is subjected to the actual consideration restriction of comfortableness aspect.The raising of the decay that causes thus in addition, also is subjected to the physics law relevant with the ear cover structure with single-walled cup and limits.The acoustic attenuation that is provided by earmuff is for being generally 10-30dB such as the lower frequency below the 1000Hz, and for being 25-40dB such as the upper frequency more than the 1000Hz.For some environment, near the jet engine of the military affairs of the very high acoustic attenuation of ear shield device and commercial aircraft and the very industry or the manufactory of confused noise, these classes of attenuation may be not enough such as expectation.
Summary of the invention
[7] therefore, a kind of new earmuff design is useful, compares with other wear-type earmuff of similar type well known in the prior art, and this earmuff design can not only provide obvious improved sound attenuation performance, can also use for reality enough comfortablenesses are provided.
[8] according to an embodiment, a kind of acoustic attenuation earmuff assemblies is provided, this acoustic attenuation earmuff assemblies comprises and is installed in the cup-shaped shell on the elasticity outer seal ring and is installed in cup-shaped inner casing on the elasticity inner seal ring.Two shells are by the engineering material of structural rigidity, and for example plastics are made.Two sealing rings pass through the thin list layer interconnection of soft compliant material.Shell is provided with the device that is used for earmuff assemblies is installed to headband.Air gap is limited between the outer surface of the inner surface of shell and inner casing.In one embodiment, inner casing is hanging to shell by the elastic insert that is arranged in air gap.In another embodiment, this elastic insert is removed so that the mechanical connection path between inner casing and the shell minimizes, and stays two flexible thin between the sealing ring and be the unique mechanical connection between inner casing and the shell.
[9], directly cause the external noise of the vibration in the shell to be weakened significantly and more effective than the situation of single-walled earmuff because the isolated duplex shell structure of earmuff.Its reason has two aspects.The first, isolated duplex shell structure is as two degrees of freedom (DOF) vibrational system.Under the frequency more than the system resonance, the vibration attenuation rate that is provided by the single-walled earmuff structure is provided coupled system, and this single-walled earmuff structure can be considered to the single-degree of freedom vibration system.Based on the actual parameter of traditional earmuff, the system resonance frequency of single-walled earmuff well known in the prior art or bivalve earmuff disclosed herein is usually less than 400Hz.This means, compare with traditional single-walled earmuff, more than the 400Hz under the frequency of about 1000Hz the bivalve earmuff can improve sound attenuation performance significantly because the sound attenuation performance of ear shield device is directly proportional with vibration level corresponding to the rigid motion of earmuff in this frequency range.The second, existing in of the air gap between shell and the inner casing provides the acoustic impedance mismatch in the mobile route, and this provides the reinforcement sound insulation to the external noise infiltration.This effect for example>the most effective under the high frequency of 1000Hz.
[10], provide a kind of resilient ear seal that is particularly suitable for comprising the earmuff of two cup-shaped shell, the inner seal ring that this resilient ear seal comprises the outer seal ring of the shell that is suitable for supporting earmuff and is suitable for supporting the inner casing of earmuff according to another embodiment.Each sealing ring comprises circumferential lateral surface, interior all sides of opening are provided around wearer's ear, be used for sealing ring is fixed to the annular exposure of the annular fixed head and the head that be suitable for relative with this fixed head contacts the wearer of respective shell.On the one hand, two sealing rings link to each other by flexible thin, and this flexible thin has the hole to allow air-flow; On the other hand, because by shell and the vibration that provides of attached outer seal ring since the negligible shear stiffness of flexible thin and can not by this flexible thin be delivered to inner seal ring and attached inner casing, so two sealing rings are also by the flexible thin mechanical isolation.In one embodiment, in earmuff assemblies, this flexible thin prevents that inner casing from coming off from shell.In another embodiment, when the user put on earmuff, the flexible thin that stretches in the service position provided clamping force to contact with wearer's head to keep inner casing to inner casing.

Embodiment
[23] Fig. 1 has shown the disclosed in the prior art cutaway view that comprises the earmuff assemblies 000 of the single-walled cup that is used for block sound usually.Single-walled cup 004 be rigidity and be installed to headband 005 by installing mechanism such as pivotal pin 006.Single-walled cup 004 is lined with one deck sound foam insert 007 in going back.Comprise that the annular ear sealing 001 of flexible shroud 002 is fixed to the outer peripheral edges of single-walled cup 004 by the fastener such as fixed head 003.Annular flexible sheath 002 encapsulation padded coaming, for example soft foam, silica gel or both combinations and be in described material is communicated with.When being put on, ear sealing 001 is compressed under the static clamping force that is provided by headband 005, is in wearer's ear head surface on every side with maintenance to contact.Therefore, between ear and external noise source, form barrier.For the purpose of clear, the earmuff that will have the single wall ear cup herein is called " traditional earmuff ".Similarly, will mainly be designed for traditional earmuff herein and use and comprise that the ear sealing of single sealing ring is called " traditional ear sealing ".
[24] use the method for subjective testing of describing by ansi standard S3.19-1974 to come the sound attenuation performance of earmuff is assessed usually.Those of skill in the art will understand, according to ANSIS3.19-1974, the average attenuation scope that is provided by traditional earmuff is generally 10-30dB under such as the lower frequency below the 1000Hz, and is generally 25-40dB under such as the upper frequency more than the 1000Hz.
[25] acoustic attenuation earmuff assemblies 100 illustrates with an exemplary embodiment in Fig. 2.This earmuff assemblies 100 comprises cup-shaped rigid shells 104, rigid inner shell 107 and resilient ear seal 101.Each cup-shaped shell comprises three surfaces: when earmuff assemblies is put on towards the inner surface of wearer's head, and this inner surface opposed outer surface and the side face that between the periphery of outer surface and inner surface, extends.Shell and inner casing all can be made by plastic material, however this and do not mean that a kind of restriction.Resilient ear seal 101 comprises outer seal ring 103 and the inner seal ring 102 by flexible thin 110 interconnection.Outer seal ring 103 is respectively fixed to the side face of shell 104 and inner casing 107 with inner seal ring 102 and extends to contact with wearer's head from described rigid crust.In earmuff assemblies 100, flexible thin 110 is as vibration isolation/decoupling zero (decoupling) device, in order to the vibration between isolation/decoupling zero inner casing 107 and the shell 104.Earmuff assemblies 100 can any desired mode, for example be installed to headband 105 by the pivotal pin on the lateral surface that is attached to outer rigid housing 104 108.In one embodiment, the erecting device between earmuff assemblies 100 and the headband 105 allows earmuff assemblies 100 to pivot or rotation with respect to headband 105, is used for as best located and maximum comfortableness by wearer's adjusting and perception.When being in load condition, when promptly the head that is worn on the wearer when earmuff assemblies 100 was gone up, the headband 105 that is worn over around the head provided static clamping force to be in suitable position to keep earmuff assemblies 100.
[26] in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, rigid inner shell 107 fully is positioned in the outer rigid housing 104.Between the outer surface of the inner surface of outer rigid housing 104 and rigid inner shell 107, form intermediate air gap 112 then.In addition, rigid inner shell 107 is by foam locating ring (spacer ring) 109 and placed in the middle in outer rigid housing 104, and the tapered profiles that passes through rigid inner shell 107 limits, and making progress slides and seal 101 by ear limits to lower slider, this foam locating ring 109 comprises foamed material, but this and do not mean that qualification.Want the vibration between two rigid crusts of decoupling zero, inner casing 107 and shell 104 are configured to foam locating ring 109 is not compressed to load condition.Adopt continuous foam locating ring that rigid inner shell 107 is positioned in the outer rigid housing 104 although will be appreciated that these specific embodiments, this does not also mean that qualification.For example, can use with separation pitch and replace foam locating ring 109 along a plurality of cushions of the analog material of rigid inner shell 107 circumferential arrangement.Alternately, the available one deck foamed material that is arranged in the air gap 112 replaces foam locating ring 109.Because between locating ring 109 side direction insertion outer rigid housing 104 and the rigid inner shell 107 and not by outer rigid housing 104 and rigid inner shell 107 compressions, so it can be with the headband clamping force or (vertically, as shown in Figure 2) vibration of the rigid body of the Noise Excitation of direction is passed to rigid inner shell 107 from outer rigid housing 104 vertically.On the other hand, provide maximum acoustic attenuation, outer rigid housing 104 all is configured to keep closely contacting with wearer's the circumferential of head by the clamping force that is provided by headband 105 with rigid inner shell 107.
[27], in order on rigid inner shell 107, to apply static clamping force, be arranged in elastomeric connector 106 in the intermediate air gap 112 between outer rigid housing 104 and the rigid inner shell 107 and be arranged on the vertical axis of two rigid crusts according to an embodiment.Elastomeric connector 106 comprises two ends, and wherein first end (i.e. top as shown in Figure 2) is suitable for contacting the inner surface of shell 104, and second end (i.e. bottom as shown in Figure 2) is suitable for contacting the outer surface of inner casing 107.In load condition, the clamping force that is provided by headband 105 promotes shell 104 and outer seal ring 103 towards wearer's head.Shell 104 promotes first end of elastomeric connectors 106 and towards its second end elasticity of compression connector 106 that links to each other with inner casing 107 then.In load condition, when the headband power that is provided by headband 105 offseted by the reaction force that acts on the reaction force on the outer seal ring 103 and produced by it when elastomeric connector 106 is compressed, this condensing routine finished.Then, the described reaction force that is produced by elastomeric connector 106 promotes inner casing 107 and inner seal ring 102 as static clamping force in order to the head towards the wearer.In another embodiment, elastomeric connector 106 is made by elastomeric material, depends on load condition, i.e. compression ratio, and described elastomeric material has the rigidity of two-stage at least.For example, in the starting stage, when elastomeric connector 106 when compressing within a certain percentage from its first end to its measured original length of its second end, elastomeric connector 106 presents higher rigidity value.After this starting stage, when elastomeric connector 106 is further compressed to the second level, elastomeric connector 106 present less than with the rigidity value that is lower than at least in the starting stage.High rigidity in starting stage guarantees in load condition, and when elastomeric connector 106 was preferably compressed to the second level, elastomeric connector 106 can provide the tight static clamping force that contacts between the head that is enough to keep inner seal ring 102 and wearer.Yet, when being exposed to external noise, except since the dead load of clamping force, the interconnection liner 106 also encouraged by dynamic loading.In this case, need in vibration isolation system, use usually and hang down rigid spring, so the low rigidity value of elastomeric connector 106 helps to isolate/vibration between decoupling zero shell 104 and the inner casing 107 because validity is isolated in high vibration.
[28] elastomeric connector 106 is used so that inner casing 107 is isolated with shell 104 as the vibration isolation/decoupling zero device in the earmuff assemblies 100.In one embodiment, elastomeric connector 106 is the interconnection liners that are made of the polyurethane-base flexible foam, the strain-stress relation of this foamed material, and promptly rigidity is non-linear and depends on load condition.Under various compression ratios, this foamed material has three grades of rigidity values.When being compressed less than 10-15%, it presents high rigidity usually.In this compression percentage range, foamed material has the good dead load of bearing, the i.e. ability of headband clamping force.When compression ratio was between 10% and 40%, foamed material presented low rigidity, and this isolates for vibration is desirable.When foam be compressed above its original thickness 40% the time, its rigidity uprises again.The characteristic of preceding two-stage has material impact in the elastomeric connector 106 that comprises the aforesaid interconnection liner of being made by the polyurethane-base flexible foam with non-linear rigidity characteristic, thereby in load condition, this interconnection liner is compressed at least 10% by inner casing 107 and shell 104, but is no more than 40%.Yet, surpasses 40% compression and will give some decay, thereby this scope is not to limit, and only be an exemplary embodiment.In addition, other material also can be used for the liner that interconnects, and these materials can have different compression properties, thereby may have the compression zone different with polyurethane foam.In other embodiments, elastomeric connector 106 can be spring or elastomer connector.
[29] put on when earmuff assemblies 100, when promptly being in the load condition, wearer's ear is enclosed in the chamber 113 that the rigid inner shell 107 by the sound foam insert 111 of liner limits.Foam insert 111 with suitable thickness harmony absorbability will help to weaken the acoustic energy of the operatic tunes 113 inboards, particularly under higher frequency, as disclosed in the prior art.Outer seal ring 103 with attached outer rigid housing 104 contact by the headband force compresses and with wearer's head surface to form the ground floor sealing around the ear.The part that acts on the headband power on the outer rigid housing 104 then is delivered to rigid inner shell 107 by elastomeric connector 106, and thereby is delivered to inner seal ring 102 to form second layer sealing around ear.Therefore, between ear and external noise source, formed baffle.To understand as those of skill in the art, and can use in theory to be suitable for calculating ear shield device and to come being defined as the acoustic pressure p of 113 inboards, chamber at model of vibration such as the acoustic attenuation under the low frequency below the 1000Hz iExternal sound pressure p with earmuff assemblies 100 oThe pressure transmissibility (that is the reverse side of common employed term-sound attenuation performance) of ratio predict.
[30] Fig. 3 shows the simplification model of vibration with the acoustic attenuation earmuff assemblies equivalence shown in Fig. 2.The gross mass quality m of outer rigid crust 104 and outer seal ring 103 1Expression, and the gross mass quality m of interior rigid crust 107 and inner seal ring 102 2Expression.Quality m 1By having the constant k that is associated with outer seal ring 103 and corresponding air spring 1With damping coefficient c 1Spring be installed to the expression wearer the head rigid foundation.Similarly, quality m 2By having the constant k that is associated with inner seal ring 102 and corresponding air spring 2With damping coefficient c 2Spring be installed to rigid foundation.Because so elastomeric connector 106 is quality m 2Also by having rigidity k iWith damping coefficient c iMiddle springs be elastically connected to quality m 1k iAnd c iActual value mainly determine by the character of elastomeric connector 106.Yet the spring rate of air gap 112 and damping are also to k iAnd c iWork.The regional s of the cross section by acting on outer rigid housing 104 oOn external sound pressure p oThe exciting force f that produces oMake quality m 1Vibration.Quality m 1Vibration again by by k iAnd c iThe mechanical impedance of expression is delivered to quality m 2Quality m 1With quality m 2Displacement in Fig. 3, be expressed as x respectively 1And x 2According to this model, in the chamber 113 and thereby by the acoustic pressure p of wearer's ear perception iWith displacement x 2Size be directly proportional.
[31] Fig. 4 compares the pressure transmissibility of the various situations of the model of vibration shown in use Fig. 3.Because the limitation of model, these more only are to make under the frequency below the 1000Hz.Solid line by the indication of the L1 among Fig. 4 is the theoretical pressure transmissibility with the earmuff of isolating duplex shell structure that has as shown in Figure 2.With employed parameter in this curve of prediction be chosen as practical and to some prior art used similar.Pressure transmissibility curve L1 can be compared with the pressure transmissibility curve of traditional earmuff, this tradition earmuff has identical quality, volume and buffering character with the earmuff of being represented by L1.This traditional earmuff is called " reference " earmuff herein, it is realized as follows: (a) remove inner casing 107 and elastomeric connector 106 from the earmuff assemblies shown in Fig. 2 100, (b) add the quality of former inner casing 107 to shell 104, make the quality of single-walled cup of reference earmuff equal the gross mass of inner casing 107 and shell 104, and (c) inner seal ring 102 and outer seal ring 103 are merged into the single sealing ring that is fixed to shell 104, make the rigidity of sealing ring of reference earmuff be inner seal ring 102 of the present invention and outer seal ring 103 rigidity and, and the damping coefficient of the sealing ring of reference earmuff is identical with outer seal ring 103.
[32] the theoretical pressure transmissibility of reference earmuff is predicted as the dotted line by the L2 indication in Fig. 4.According to model of vibration, with the corresponding transmissibility curve of the pattern of oscillating mass on have resonance peak.For curve L1, owing to have two oscillating mass, i.e. quality m 1With quality m 2So, observe two resonance peaks (about 110 and the 250Hz place).For curve L2, owing to only have an oscillating mass, its weight equals m 1And m 2Total weight, so observe a resonance peak (at about 120Hz place).100 and 250Hz between resonance range below, the transmission rate variance between curve L1 and the curve L2 is almost constant, wherein, L1 is lower than L2 slightly.In resonance range, the L1 of place is lower than L2 in most of frequency, and just near the L1 of frequency place the highest resonance peak at about 250Hz place is higher than L2.Surpass resonance range, the acoustic attenuation rate of being represented by curve L1 is far above the acoustic attenuation rate of the reference earmuff of being represented by curve L2.
[33] in addition, at the frequency place that is higher than 1000Hz that the sound attenuation performance of wear-type earmuff is mainly determined by the flexural vibrations of cup-shaped shell, the earmuff assemblies shown in Fig. 2 also provides improved decay.This be because the flexural vibrations of the shell 104 by the external noise field excitation because the impedance mismatching between intermediate air gap 112 and shell 104 and the inner casing 107 and can not be delivered to inner casing 107 by intermediate air gap 112 effectively.Thereby by the amplitude of vibration of the rigid body of inner casing 107 and flexural vibrations is reduced to minimum and make the sound attenuation performance maximization in wide frequency ranges, thereby the sound level of 113 inboards, chamber that will surround wearer's ear is reduced to minimum.
[34] except middle springs rigidity used in calculated curve L3 is half of value used among the calculated curve L1, be the pressure transmissibility of the situation identical with L1 by the dash line shown in the L3 among Fig. 3.Curve L3 is compared with curve L1, can see that sound attenuation performance is further improved when middle spring rate reduces.In one embodiment, the volume that surrounds by inner casing 107 the volume that surrounds by shell 104 60% to 85% between.
[35] Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B show the cutaway view and the vertical view of the detailed structure of the ear sealing in the earmuff assemblies 100 that is combined in as shown in Figure 2 respectively.With reference to accompanying drawing and as example and non-limiting, this ear sealing comprises concentric locating and the elasticity outer seal ring 103 and the elasticity inner seal ring 102 that interconnect by annular flexible thin 110, in earmuff assemblies 100, this top layer 110 is also as the vibration isolation/decoupling zero device between inner casing and the shell.Because outer seal ring 103 is identical with the structure of inner seal ring 102, so for the purpose of example, Fig. 5 C only shows the amplification view of outer seal ring.Annular outer seal ring 103 comprises first flexible shroud 002 and first rigid fixation plate 207.This first flexible shroud is made and is filled with padded coaming 211 usually and contacts with this padded coaming 211 by soft compliant material.This padded coaming can be foam or silicon compound or both combinations.Those of skill in the art will understand, and other padded coaming also can be suitable for this purposes.First flexible shroud has the cross section of basic rectangle and has four surfaces: be suitable for contacting the annular exposure 204 of wearer's head, relative with this annular exposure annular base, lateral surface 205 and the medial surface 206 that engage with first rigid fixation plate 207 (Fig. 5 A) of being suitable for.The cross section that " L " shape was made and had to first rigid fixation plate 207 (Fig. 5 A) by firm plastic material usually.First fixed head 207 (Fig. 5 A) is provided with basal plane, and this basal plane is suitable for cooperating and being attached to by the means such as adhesive, high-frequency welding or thermoforming with the basal plane of first flexible shroud basal plane of first flexible shroud.First rigid fixation plate 207 (Fig. 5 A) also is provided with adjacent with its basal plane and the vertical scope of freedom 403 that extend between upper peripheral edge 402 and lower periphery 401.
