Description

The automotive dash insulators that comprises viscoelastic foam
The mutual reference of related application
The application requires the U.S. provisional application No.60/535 of submission on January 12nd, 2004,933 right of priority.The disclosure of application more than this introduces by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to sound insulation system.More particularly, the present invention relates to comprise the sound insulation system of viscoelastic foam (viscoelastic foams).
Background technology
The automaker makes great efforts to reduce global noise and the vibration in the vehicle.Limit noise, vibration and violence (that is, " NVH ") have become the important consideration of Automobile Design.Before, engine noise was typically occupied an leading position in overall vehicle noise.Other noise source as tire, wind and gas outlet, also becomes the same reduction that needs with engine noise.More recent, interior vehicle noise suppresses to have become the direct result that the consumer requires to reduce noise in the vehicle.
Therefore, people drop into the reduction of making great efforts to be devoted to interior vehicle noise significantly.One of these effort are to use barrier (barrier) notion, dividing plate pad (dashmat) or dash insulators (dash insulator) system before being also referred to as.These preceding dividing plate pads are used to reduce the noise from the engine to the vehicle interior.Typically, so preceding dividing plate pad is placed on base material (substrate) and goes up or adjacent base material, and this base material such as firewall (firewall) are to reduce the noisiness that passes to vehicle interior from engine by firewall.General description to preceding dividing plate pad technology can find in the open No.2003/0180500 A1 of U.S. patented claim, specially introduces the whole instructions of the document by reference at this.
Preceding dividing plate pad is formerly typically made by decoupler (decoupler), usually form by foam (dull and stereotyped (slab) or casting (cast) foam) and barrier, typically by TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin, TPO) or the ethylene vinyl acetate sheet (ethylene vinylacetate EVA) makes.These preceding dividing plate pads all are intended to reduce overall engine compartment noise.The dividing plate pad is typically heavier relatively before such barrier type, reduces the result to produce required noise.
The suitable major part of dividing plate pad performance depends on the performance of foam before believing.It has been generally acknowledged that foaming properties is the function of transmission loss, absorption, modulus and damping (damping) characteristic of foam.
More recent, use the preceding dividing plate pad of lightweight.Lightweight concept adopts absorbent material, as long bullet velvet apple (shoddy cotton).The target of dividing plate pad is to absorb and the dissipation engine noise when nacelle passes to vehicle interior when engine noise before this type, rather than the blocking-up engine noise.The dividing plate mattress system also reduces the overall weight of vehicle before these lightweights.Can be to the general description of dividing plate mattress system before these types of lightweight at U.S. patent Nos.6, find in 145,617 and 6,296,075, at this specially by with reference to the whole instructions of introducing described document.
The major function of dividing plate pad is to reduce the noise level of vehicle interior before arbitrary type.Traditionally, believe according to mass law and come block noise offer the best noise transfer loss and noise reduction.It is the typical measurement parameter that is used for the preceding dividing plate mattress system performance of quantification that transmission loss and noise reduce.
Although the dividing plate pad is successful reducing interior vehicle noise aspect horizontal to a certain extent before conventional, they are not entirely satisfactory.More specifically, insulation foam (that is, decoupler) is a relative nullity, because it does not have suitable absorptive acoustic properties.Therefore, when noise entered vehicle interior by preceding dividing plate pad, let it be, and what the source was, all sufficiently do not blocked, dissipates or reduce.In addition, insulation foam early since the vibration of base material or barrier layer and prevent aspect the noise not too effective.
Therefore, hope can provide the preceding dividing plate pad of the transmission loss Performance Characteristics with raising, so that can be used to reduce engine compartment noise of coming by firewall and the noise that enters passenger compartment from other source during vehicle operating.
