Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of structural slab that can be used as ceiling or wallboard, it comprises structures such as a skin and an articulamentum, its ectomesoderm has a plurality of isolated septs, they stretch out from an outer field surface, articulamentum is parallel to skin, itself and skin keep at a certain distance away, and above-mentioned sept is linked together away from outer field that side along them.Reduce plate thickness at needs, for example when transporting, above-mentioned sept is done the time spent being under pressure, and in a period of time being at least can be compressed.

Background technology

Be used for that the structural slab that building structure is fitted up or decorated is had various forms: ceiling from dried facing interior wall to ornamental or sound absorption properties.Obviously: although these plates take on a different character, for example from weight, transportation, shortage aesthetics/acoustics diversity equal angles, these plates have a lot of shortcomings.

Some this class plate for example is used in the suspended ceiling system, and in this system, the screen work of being made up of the inverted T-shaped support member has formed the perforate of some rectangles, and plates such as abatvoix are placed in the described perforate.Such abatvoix itself is exactly rigidity usually, and certain fragility is arranged.Therefore, they are difficult to be inserted in the above-mentioned support grid or from screen work pulls down, and in many cases, plate is easy to be damaged in this process.In addition, this furred ceiling is heavier relatively with plate, and has fixing thickness, thereby the size when they are transported is identical with their installation dimension.Because their weight and volume is very big, so the cost of transportation of every square feet of this kind plate is higher relatively in transportation.

Dried facing interior wall also is relatively heavier, thereby is difficult to handle, and its transportation clearance and its installation dimension also are identical.Therefore, for dried facing interior wall, cost of transportation also is higher relatively.

As can be seen from the above: be used for there are many shortcomings in the plate that building structure makes up, fits up and decorates.Therefore, need a kind of plate that can overcome above-mentioned shortcoming.

Summary of the invention

Those skilled in the art can clearly realize that after having read disclosure text: structural slab of the present invention can be used in the various occasions.But basically, this structural slab normally comprises the skin that a usefulness semi-rigid material is made, and stretches out several septs from this outer field surface.The far-end that the connector of skim plate form or similar means are fixed to described sept.The form of connector can be: another material layer, connection fibrous ribbon or the like.

The person's character of described sept is collapsible subsiding, and can be rendered as various ways.In some embodiment described herein, sept is the hole lattice of lengthwise, and it has the side that can subside, thereby when applying horizontal or longitudinal pressure along predetermined direction on the lattice of hole, the hole lattice will collapse to very thin space.Can bring the formation sept by folding semi-rigid material, thereby when the sept side loaded, vertically side or next door will be to invagination or inside and outside foldings.Design the structure of sept like this: make it present the expansion or the extension state of predetermined structure under normal conditions, and have elasticity, thereby after being compressed, can be returned to such prototype structure.Above-mentioned sept is fixed on skin or the connector, thereby can keep original position with respect to these two members.

Can understand: for the plate of such formation, it is rendered as expanded form under the normality that does not stress, but by exerting pressure on skin or connector, sept is subsided, and makes whole plate present extremely thin thickness or profile.That yes for transporting is very favorable in such design, and reason is: compare the plate of the greater number of can packing into those plates that thickness is constant in transportation and use in the prior art in container.What fill in the plate of the present invention mainly is air, so weight is very light.

In addition, it can also be seen that from more detailed description hereinafter: these plates can carry out bending along a direction at least, thereby are convenient to be installed in the structures such as suspended ceiling, but it also is a rubber-like, thereby can be returned to its normality when not stressing.In addition, these plates are non-brittle, and not fragile.In addition, they also can be cut into any preliminary dimension and/or structure very simply.

Also can on members such as the skin of plate, articulamentum, cover decorative layer, so that plate has required aesthetic effect.For example, in use, can cover the paper, chromatics paper of one deck veneer, vinyl, band pattern or streakline, thin metal, polyester, other synthetic materials, fiber, non-woven fleece or the like, thereby make plate have required arbitrarily outward appearance.In addition, the available metal paper tinsel is at the inside or the outside lining of plate, to change the characteristic of plate.

The specific embodiment

Compressible structural panel 50 of the present invention can find out that this plate comprises a plurality of folding septs or support beam 52 better from Fig. 1 and 12, and these septs are preferably parallel, and they extend between outer 54 (not shown in figure 1)s and an articulamentum 56.Shown in Fig. 1 and 12, a decorative layer 58 can be laminated on outer 54 according to aspectant form.As will be hereinafter explaining in detail, plate can be from the subsiding or collapsed state as shown in figure 17 of the normal expanded condition boil down to shown in Fig. 1 and 12 fully.Such as will be described in detail below, also can make the plate can be, but its firmization can be forbidden that also it is crooked in any direction along a horizontal direction bending.In addition, the volume of plate mainly is an air, therefore, is very light and carries easily.

Plate 50 has many possible application in building structure, for example, it can be used as wallboard, fixed ceiling and furred ceiling plate or the like.In addition, from following description as can be known: plate can be formed into various sizes, and the size of some of them plate is more much bigger than the size of traditional plate used in the building structure.For ease of being described at this, the plate among the figure is common size, and is used in the furred ceiling shown in Figure 2.

In a typical ceiling system, shown in Fig. 2 and 3, usually by roof supported by the screen work that the inverted T-shaped support member 60 of lengthwise is formed, formed the perforate 62 of rectangle thus and around the support circumferential edges 64 of these perforates, ceiling brick or plate 50 just are arranged in these perforates.Common ceiling board can not bending or deflection, thus be difficult to be inserted in the rectangle opening 62, and because they are frangible, so they often are damaged when being inserted into or are broken.As can understanding from the following description: plate of the present invention itself is exactly flexible, thereby is easy to be inserted in the rectangle opening of ceiling system, and in case after in place, just is rendered as desirable plane positioning orientation.

Can be clear that from Figure 12: sept 52 is made by the material band (Fig. 4) of wall scroll, be shaped on the pleat trace on this material band in advance and be converted into required structure, thereby in the time of in being installed to plate 50, can subside in the horizontal, allow plate under the situation of needs, to be compressed with this.The top of this sept is fixed on the articulamentum 56, its bottom is fixed on outer 54, wherein, this is fixedly connected preferably to be undertaken by bonding agent 68, but it is evident that very much for those skilled in the art: the system that is used for connecting elements of available other form.Conversely, again that skin is bonding or be fixed on the decorative layer 58 with aspectant relation, decorative layer is that one deck that exposes to the inside of the building structure that this plate is installed." layer " described herein is defined as: can form a material pieces or locking, the connection of a broad surfaces, a plurality of material pieces that weld or link together.This decorative layer can be any material, for example is paper, film, mylar, other synthetic materials, fiber, non-woven fleece of log or composite plate, vinyl, patterned or ribbon line or the like.Certainly, normally select material, but also can select according to acoustical absorbance properties according to the decorative effect in the room that ceiling is installed.

In the disclosed embodiment, skin 54, articulamentum 56 and sept 52 can be made by identical materials, but this point is not necessary.This material can be that a kind of glass fiber random orientation is dispersed in the glass layer in the resin.As will describing in detail hereinafter, this resin can be thermosetting resin or thermoplastic resin, and this depends on the required feature of plate.Be used for connecting normally a kind of heat-curable adhesive of bonding agent 68 of each element of plate, it can couple together adjacent members when reaching predetermined temperature.Yet shown suitable bonding agent can comprise polyurethane resin, hot melt copolyester, hot melt polyurethane reactive resin, bi-component epoxide-resin, hypergolic polyurethane resin and RTV silica gel.

As the sectional view among Figure 12 is known expression: can form a plurality of septs 52 by a continuous material band, but herein in the disclosed embodiments, each independent sept is the hole lattice or the tubular structure of a lengthwise.Each sept is formed to mode shown in Figure 11 according to Fig. 4 by the material band 66 of glass fiber etc.

Fig. 4 is a front elevation drawing, has represented a smooth band 66, and this band do not pass a creaser as yet.In creaser, as shown in Figure 5, material is pressed between pleat wheel 70 and the support wheel 72 from rotation and is passed, thereby forms the impression 74 of longitudinal extension on material with predetermined horizontal spacing.In preferred systems, press the pleat wheel to have diameter and be about 1/32 inch arc pressure pleat edge, and the hardness of support wheel is 90 duremeter numbers.Adopt this device, do not cutting material or do not damaging at least under the situation of many glass fiber (if any) and just can make effective pleat trace line, thereby can keep the elastic force of material.As understand, from the left side of material band shown in Figure 5, impression 74a is near left hand edge on the top surface, the position of another impression 74b on top surface is to take back slightly from the center.Between these two positions, an impression 74c places on the basal surface of this band.Also there is corresponding impression in right side at band, thereby as shown in Figure 6, when band arrived outlet, pleating machine had formed six impressions thereon.Then as Fig. 7,8 and 8A shown in like that, with material band 66 upwards, cause the both sides of the edge 76 of this band to be run into together along above-mentioned impression at the center position at sept 52 tops.Preferably, in the material fiber fracture diameter less than this folding material in conjunction with thickness, thereby in folding process, only fiber (if any) is caused very little damage.According to so making, sept constitutes the pipe or the hole lattice of a lengthwise, and it comprises two inverted relatively butt triangles 78 and 80.The base portion of following triangle 78 is wideer than last triangle 80.Sept owing to have glass fiber become semirigid, thereby they can be along indentation line 74 deflections or folding, but between the folding part, structure is held in the plane basically.Vertically exerting pressure on the hole lattice that constitute as shown in Figure 7 to cause the member of these hole lattice to fall down, thereby sept is rendered as compressive state shown in Figure 8.Under this compressive state, can according to various different modes with bonding agent 68 entire coating on the top and bottom of sept, bonding agent is preferably thermosetting or thermoplastic bonding agent, these bonding agents are known to those skilled in the art.

As shown in figure 10, the sept 52 that then top surface and basal surface is coated with bonding agent 68 penetrate into outer 54 and articulamentum 56 between, and as shown in figure 11, between the pressing plate after the heating 82, compress whole layered product afterwards, under thermoplastic adhesive's situation, pressing plate 82 activates bonding agent 68, and perhaps under the situation of heat-curable adhesive, pressing plate is as catalyzer.If heat-curable adhesive, can utilize subsequently heating process to increase the rate of hardening of heat-curable adhesive.

If use thermosetting resin to connect glass fiber in band 66, the laminate 54 and 56, then plate 50 be compressed with connect together after will expand into its preformed state shown in Figure 12 naturally.If connecting the resin of glass fiber is a kind of thermoplastic resin, then it will keep squeezed state, but only need reheat, and above-mentioned band is the spontaneous expansion of meeting under this heat effect, for example can heat by a hot blast hair dryer.Under any circumstance, plate or spontaneously expand or expand into required height or thickness selectively.

And the change of sept 52, skin 54 and articulamentum 57 material therefors is apparent to one skilled in the art, and in fact they also can be made from a variety of materials, for ease of in this text, being described, find that following material is suitable for making skin, articulamentum and sept:

The 8802-100GSM (glass felt of band thermoplastic resin) of the JM type of producing by the Johns-Manville company in Denver, state of Colorado city or the MF5020GSM (glass felt of band thermosetting resin) of JM type; 51 50GSM (glass fabric of band thermosetting resin) that perhaps block the Ahstrom type of the Ahstrom production of drawing by Finland.

Also have other material, they for example are suitable for making skin or articulamentum, but are not suitable for the manufacturing sept; Vice versa, and other material for example is suitable for making sept but is unsuitable for making skin or articulamentum.For example, skin or articulamentum be a kind of material band in many different kind of material, for example paper, cardboard, metal, plastics, polyester, other synthetic materials or the like.These materials even do not need to have structural stability, and for example sept offers the stability of plate.On the other hand, in order to realize a very important characteristic, preferably the sept of being made by glass fiber also can be made with the composition of carbon fiber felt, some paper, cardboard, fabric, film or these materials, key character wherein is meant that materials similar has certain predetermined elasticity modulus in the above-mentioned concrete material that indicates, this makes them to fold, but still keeps elasticity.For glass fiber material, if material is pressed pleat and formed above-mentioned fold line, then importantly: this material is still keeping coefficient of elasticity after being pressed pleat, and this is for being attainable under glass fiber or the carbon fibre material situation certainly.

Decorative layer 58 shown in Figure 13 also can place outer 54 and hot pressing layer 82 between, with around here suitable bonding agent 66 this decorative layer is connected on the skin in aspectant mode.Certainly, consequently form plate shown in Figure 12.When decorative layer being connected to outer going up, except above-mentioned possibility, can also use the porous decorative layer, this decorative layer is connected on the covering layer that has grid-shaped or printing points system of battle formations case shape bonding agent.This makes laminate be easier to see through or propagate sound.On the contrary, if use the continuous bonding agent of one deck to connect decorative layer and covering layer, then reduced sound and seen through the propagated of laminate.By this lamination process, just a unstable relatively decorative layer can be flattened, and form smooth and stable surface, and have resistance to impact and paracentesis resistance, thereby replace tectal characteristic in this respect.Advantageously: the acoustical absorbance properties that can change plate by assembling mode of changing distance between cladding material, stripping, bonding agent, articulamentum, each layer, they being linked together or the like.

Can also on articulamentum 56, cover or other material of lamination.For example, can on articulamentum, apply the film or the extra play of lamination one non-glass fiber material thereon.Like this, because exposed skin can be by the scuffing of the glass fiber of abrasive cut-off, so can not carry plate under the situation with gloves.In addition, film or the laminate that is used for articulamentum 56 can stamp manufacturer make or stamp the measurement lattice of being convenient to plate is cut into required size.In addition, at as described in outer 54,, also can on articulamentum, cover porous layer pressing plate or film as mentioned for the purpose of sound-absorbing.

As addressing, many materials can be applied among the present invention, but in a kind of preference pattern, articulamentum and sept are to be made by identical materials, this material is the glass mat that Johns-Manville company makes, and this felt can be to be numbered the felt of No.5802 or to be numbered the No.5803 felt by Johns-Manville company.The proportion of felt 5802 is 120g/m2, is made up of 12%PET, 65%16 microns glass fiber, 25%MF.Felt 5803 be comprise 12%PET, 68%16 microns glass fiber, 20%MF, proportion is the felt of 100g/m2.MF is the abbreviation of melamine resin, and this resin has the feature of thermosetting resin.PET is the abbreviation of PETG.Or have ability by material 5802 or the sept made by material 5803: press like that as mentioned above pleat or folding back, and flatten fully after, only need very little heat or do not have additional heat just can expand.Can from United States Patent (USP) 5840413,5942288 and 5972434, learn that these patents are incorporated herein by reference herein about the product of Johns-Manville company and the more detailed explanation of Related product.

Preferred skin is a kind of textile material composite bed with aesthetic appearance of pleasant, and it is laminated on the non-woven fleece substrate of a glass fiber by a kind of hot melt copolyester bonding agent.Three kinds of different laminates are same desirable.The first floor pressing plate uses a kind of from the substrate as heat bonding polyester non-woven fleece, and the basic weight of this substrate is at 45-75g/m ²Scope in, and can be from the state of West Virginia freudian Hollingsworth and Vose company buy.Be used for that polyester fiber is heat-bonded to the suprabasil bonding agent Butut of non-woven fleece and become the pattern that to see on the outer basal surface.When adopting the point adhesive pattern of about 7% bond area, the preferred polyester non-woven material is a kind of material that is numbered TR2315A-B by Hollingsworth and Vose company.When the bond area of spot gluing agent pattern was approximately 21%, the preferred polyester non-woven material was a kind of material that is numbered TR2864C1 by Hollingsworth and Vose.Then, with acryloid cement/fire retardant coating silk screen coating (screen coated) is carried out in above-mentioned any non-woven material substrate, this coating is 15-25g/m2 to the recruitment of proportion.Can prepare and improve the durability of non-woven substrate this coating, with advancing to increase anti-flammability.Make the polyester non-woven substrate by a hot melt roll coater/laminating machine then, herein, the fire-resistant copolyester adhesive applicating for example buied from the EMS Chemie North America of Sumter company of the North Carolina state to the surface of polyester non-woven substrate, perhaps is coated on the material to be applied.The coating weight of bonding agent depends on the bonding strength between polyester non-woven substrate and the glass non-woven material.Find: basic weight is at 30-45g/m usually ²Between bonding agent be desirable.With a kind of intaglio plate roller the glass nonwoven layers closely is laminated on the polyester non-woven substrate, preferably has 25 * 25 crosshatch pattern on the roller.The degree of depth that the intaglio plate wheel is gone up pattern mainly is to design according to the bonding agent weight on the unit zone to be applied.The proportioning of the bonding agent of being produced by EMS Chemie company is: be numbered the material of Grilltex D1573G and the material of Grilltex VP1692G mixes with 50: 50 ratio by EMS.EMS Grilltex VP1692G is a kind of composition that has 25% organophosphor flame retardant filler.The result who mixes at 50: 50 is: the flame retardant filler content of final products is about 13.5%.Then, adhesive applicating is spun to polyester unit on the surface of thing, this bonding agent keeps molten state, arrives the roll gap place of roll coater/laminating machine up to it, and it is connected with the glass non-woven fleece at the roll gap place.5802 (the 120g/m that the glass non-woven fleece is preferably is above-mentioned, produced by Johns-Manville company ²) felt, be numbered GFT-413G10-60-1300 (60g/m by what Ahlstrom produced ²) the glass non-woven fleece or be numbered GFT-413G10-80-1300 (80g/m by what Ahlstrom produced ²) the glass non-woven fleece.The composite laminate of being made by above-mentioned material itself is translucent, and is characterised in that: in the plate after making, light is had through the ability that forms hole lattice length between the sept, thereby can see the join shade of location of two hole lattice.

If necessary, can replace above-mentioned polyester non-woven fleece to eliminate described shade by the aesthetic materials may of using a kind of dorsal part to have silver color, grey or black.Described dorsal part is meant that holding hot-melt adhesive and subsequent layer is pressed onto that side on the glass non-woven fleece felt.Above-mentioned color has weakened downwards and has passed through the light amount on surface by the hole lattice with making progress, thereby has reduced shadow effect.

For above-mentioned polyester non-woven fleece, another kind of optional aesthetic materials may is a knit materials, and the one side has the outward appearance of silver color, grey or black.For this reason, a kind of knit materials and another kind of knit materials of being produced by the Gilford technical textiles company in North Carolina state Greensboro city is used, in another kind of knit materials, comprise two kinds of different types of yarns in the sub-thread knitted structure.Used two kinds of yarns are preferably nylon and polyester.Nylon wire mainly is that polyester is at opposite side in delustring one side.With a kind of black dyes knit materials is carried out " selective staining ", promptly this fuel has compatibility to nylon, and polyester then keeps white and is not colored.Fire retardant and detergent also can be added in the dye bath prescription.Then, this knitted fabric is made stability handle, and add the melamine resin to improve the intensity of fiber.Subsequently, knit materials is passed roll coater/laminating machine, this knit materials and Polyester Fibers are laminated on the above-mentioned glass non-woven fleece material.In this case, preferably a kind of pattern that has the stochastic calculation dot matrix of used gravure roll pattern, such pattern is being known on the market.When silver color, grey or the black-side of knitted fabric are in turn laminated on the glass non-woven fleece material,, be reduced so see through the light amount of laminate owing to there is darker layer.The unique distinction of this surperficial visual appearance is: this surface simulation the outward appearance of perforated ceiling.Also the white side of knitted fabric can be laminated on the glass non-woven fleece material, if design like this, then the outward appearance of knitted layer pressing plate just is similar to the metal screen material, but also can eliminate shadow effect.

The another kind of method that reduces reflection ray and printing opacity shade is to use the glass non-woven fleece material of dying black, grey or silver color.Be laminated to like that as mentioned above on polyester fiber felt or the needled mat if will dye the glass non-woven material of black, grey or silver color, then also can reduce shadow effect.

Should be noted that, and though aesthetic materials may its be polyester fiber felt or knit materials, can by the printing or the coating have dyestuff material and to its dyeing.This may relate to a secondary printing or applying step, so will increase cost.As a kind of low cost solution, can also be with color or dye the problem that coloured bonding agent solves shadow effect by using, and/or increase the surperficial whiteness of aesthetic materials may.

Figure 14-17 has represented the plate 50 compressed gradually state after the assembling, and wherein Figure 14 shows the plate that is in the complete expansion state, and Figure 17 shows to be in and subsides fully or the plate of compressive state.

Figure 18 is that an axle of plate 50 is surveyed view, and Figure 19 is that the amplification of an one part is represented.Be readily appreciated that: sept 52 keeps at a certain distance away each other equably, simultaneously in parallel with each other along the longitudinal extension of plate.Certainly, plate is complete expansion in Figure 18 and 19, then shows the plate that flattens fully in the view 20 and 21 of correspondence.

A problem of ordinary smallpox plate is: they all keep the same size and thickness in transportation, installation and use.A desired characteristics of plate of the present invention is based on such fact: the normality predetermined thickness that plate has when complete expansion is suitable substantially with the thickness of ordinary smallpox plate, transports and this thickness is ironed but can be, thereby reduces cost of transportation greatly.When above-mentioned plate was taken out from container, if what use in the glass fiber material is thermosetting resin, then their can nature distending; If what perhaps use is thermoplastic resin, then plate is expanded by heating.Although plate may expand to any desired thickness, but a kind of thickness that is used for the preferred plate of ceiling can be in the scope of 12-26mm, this thickness can be according to the span of plate and suitable expanding into, but also can be and slightly thicker or thinner according to behavior in service, when flattening fully, its thickness is about 3-4mm.

Can be clear that from Figure 31, with the direction of longitudinal separation thing 52 bearing of trend traversed bies on, plate 50 is dissolved in deflection or bending, thereby is convenient to plate is inserted in the braced structuress such as furred ceiling.In fact, if need for some reason, plate can be made warp architecture, thereby it is curved plate member under normal conditions.Plate is difficult for deflection or bending in the opposite direction, promptly is difficult for along the direction generation deflection of sept extension, and this is because the tubular structure of sept will hinder bending like this.Yet, if necessary, also the openend 86 that support member 84 covers tubulose or hole trellis sept can be set by opposite end along plate, plate is just being changed substantially, thereby forbidden that it is along arbitrary transverse direction bending.Support member 84 or shown in Figure 24 and 25 like that, make the C shape groove element 88 (for example using materials such as plastics, aluminium) of rigid structures, perhaps such as shown in figure 26, be the band made from adhesives 90, it for example can be bonded on the end of plate.Although the band of adhesives has some flexibility, it should have enough intensity simultaneously, thereby when being installed to the end of plate, must prevent that plate is along vertically being horizontal direction bending with respect to sept.Plastics or polyvinyl chloride insulation band etc. can be used as suitable bonding band.As another kind of replacement scheme, shown in Figure 65-67, can place a sept 52a at each end of plate, with the openend of shutoff parallel interval thing 52.Extend skin 54 and articulamentum 56 and cover this sept 52a, wherein this sept 52a is used to improve the rigidity of plate on cross-web direction.

Can also improve the rigidity of plate on cross-web direction by the sept (not shown) of traversed by is set at several select locations place of whole plate.The bearing of trend of traversed by sept is perpendicular to primary divider, and has the section structure identical or different with primary divider.Certainly, the traversed by sept also can be the same with primary divider, and bonding connection onboard.No matter sept is primary divider or traversed by sept, its height can change on the plate width, thereby can produce various structures and aesthetic effect.

In order to change the architectural feature of sept 52, can be respectively shown in Figure 28 and 27 like that, on the external surface of sept or inner surface, laminate another material layer, this layer can be a metal material layer 92, it makes spacer material have slightly high rigidity.Metal level also can influence the thermal characteristics of plate.Figure 27 shows the metal material layer on the plate, and this plate has support member 88, and does not comprise support member among Figure 28.Certainly, can in the forming process of sept, carry out this lamination compacting, preferably before pressing pleat, carry out.

Shown in Figure 29 and 30, the unique distinction of the plate that forms according to said process is: the pressure that arbitrary position is applied on plate surface all will be only at that position extruding plate, and the opposite side of plate is out of shape.Plate can be several times as much as the pressure of own wt in the situation lower support that deflection do not take place its opposite side.For example, plate formed according to the present invention thick 26mm, wide 24 inches, long 48 inches, great about 9Kg (1.98 pounds) when expanding.Plate can support the nearly load of 2.9Kg (6.38 pounds), and only observes minimum deflection at the opposition side of plate, and wherein this load is a circular weight, and diameter is 10 inches.It is that the point load of 1Kg (2.2 pounds) is also absorbed by same plate easily that diameter is about 2 inches and weight, does not also produce deflection equally on the bottom surface.

Referring to Figure 33-35, represented one second embodiment of plate 94 among the figure, wherein articulamentum 54 is replaced by an attachment, its form be several lengthwises but not extending flexible strip or fiber 96.These bands or fiber can be plastics, nylon or other similar material with same or similar feature.These material bands or fiber can be bonding or be connected to tubular interval thing 52 ' on, extend laterally accross these septs simultaneously, and the fiber of these space certain distances be arranged preferably in parallel.The plate 94 of Xing Chenging is such as shown in figure 35 like this, can be as above-mentioned plate, easily along being transverse to sept direction bending longitudinally or deflection.

In above-mentioned each embodiment of the present invention, described sept all has identical alar septum 98 (seeing Figure 12 and 34), has longitudinal folding line 100 on these next doors, thereby when plate is compressed, these alar septums will inwardly subside.Thereby these alar septums have formed top 98a and lower part 98b respectively, and the structure of these parts is a rectangle, but wherein the size of top 98a than the size pin of lower part 98b.Because wherein the top of sept has the size different with the lower part, so this layout is called as asymmetric arrangement.

In Figure 36-42 third embodiment of the present invention has been shown, in this embodiment, plate 102 is identical with plate shown in Figure 12 except the next door 104 of sept 105 is structurally symmetrical.In other words, plate 102 comprise by the skin 54 that is connected with each other of sept in band next door ' and articulamentum 56 ', if necessary, can also on skin, cover a decorative panel 58 '.But 104 fold lines 106 that extend are so to be provided with along the next door: make the last rectangle part 104a in each next door have the identical size with following rectangle part 104b.Plate 102 also is can be compressed.

Plate 102 compressions of expression respectively among Figure 36-38 and expanded form are carried out isometric axis and are surveyed expression in Figure 39 and 40, be understood that plate can be compressed to thickness or a shape more much smaller than its normal expanded condition.

Shown in Figure 41 and 42, when above-mentioned plate is stacked up, can save a large amount of spaces by compressing above-mentioned plate, obviously, this can save sizable expense when transporting, because compare with plate, can there be more plate to be compressed, to load and transport in same container with common furred ceiling.

Use the advantage of the plate of symmetrical sept to be: if not examining, it can eliminate the phenomenon of sending a telegram (telegraphing) that plate compression back is occurred.This phenomenon of sending a telegram is other member that is pressed onto plate when certain layer of structure, in the time of for example on sept or the next door, a kind of phenomenon of occurring in the described type plate after compression.If pressure is too big or sept shows very big resistance, then flaggy presents a visible pattern, can find out where have the next door where not fix fixedly next door from this pattern.

Referring to Figure 17, it shows a kind of plate with asymmetric sept, is understood that along the junction of sept and articulamentum to form some spaces, but can be clear that from Figure 38, and the space is almost non-existent when using the situation in symmetrical next door like this.Correspondingly, in the plate with symmetrical sept shown in Figure 38,, all can't see the phenomenon of sending a telegram no matter on plate, apply great pressure.But be understood that in the present invention and have in the plate of symmetry or asymmetric sept, because when articulamentum is pressed downward to sept, articulamentum does not hinder institute's applied pressure, and only be to compress, the trend of phenomenon is very little so occur sending a telegram, thereby the enough pressure that is applied when being connected to articulamentum on the sept can't cause the phenomenon of sending a telegram.

By changing the position of fold line 106 on sept 105 each alar septum, just can regulate the drag of plate to compression.For example, in normal expansion position shown in Figure 43 and 45, the disclosed asymmetric plate 50 of first embodiment of the invention, form an obtuse angle (a) in the alar septum 98, this angle is greater than the respective corners (d) in the next door 104 of symmetrical plate shown in Figure 46.Yet two plates when expanded form height A be identical.Should be noted that simultaneously: it is different that the top 98a of asymmetric sept alar septum divides other length B and C with lower part 98b, and in symmetrical sept shown in Figure 46, the length of top 104a and lower part 104b is identical.

Shown in Figure 47 and 48, the angle in the alar septum (a) or (d) big more, the resistance during the compression plate is just big more.In Figure 47 and 48, identical power F is applied on the asymmetric interval plate 50 among Figure 47 and on the symmetrical sept plate 102 among Figure 48, and as can be seen: same power makes the decrement of symmetrical sept plate bigger.This is because the angle of alar septum is less than the angle of asymmetric sept plate in the symmetrical sept plate.

As example, but for non-limiting: found that a kind of plate manufactured according to the present invention has satisfactory performance, the skin of this plate, articulamentum and sept all are to be made by 100GSMJohns Manville #8802 glass felt, and the parameter that is marked among Figure 43 to 46 all falls in the following ranges:

X＝5-10mm

S＝20-40mm

A＝15-26mm

B＝8-10mm

C＝13.5-17mm

D＝13.5-15mm

a＝100-120°

b＝100-120°

Shown in Figure 51 and 52, in another alternative 108 of plate,, and cancelled the articulamentum in the foregoing description according to the present invention by the sept 110 that adopts a kind of uniqueness.From Figure 49 and 50, can be clear that, sept 110 is essentially hour-glass configuration, and formed two and mutually be inverted butt Delta Regions 112 and 114, this is identical with first embodiment of the present invention, but the top of this sept has the horizontal tail limit that long being suitable for covers the adjacent spaces thing, thereby the articulamentum 116 with a segmentation, this articulamentum comprise the interconnection band that several pieces are formed by the horizontal upper limb of sept limit.Although it is asymmetrical that sept 110 is represented as, in fact, it can present the symmetric construction that is similar to structure shown in the third embodiment of the invention.Therefore, sept has a base portion 118, next door, a left side 120 and next door, a right side 122, and wherein, the top of two alar septums has a horizontal tail limit 124 and 126 respectively.These two alar septums all have and have an indentation line 128, thereby when having pressure to put on the top of sept or bottom, these alar septums will subside.The width on top, horizontal wing limit, next door, right side 126 is approximately 1/3rd of sept top width, but the length on horizontal tail limit, sept left side 124 slightly surpasses the length of sept base portion 118, thereby it covers and laminating the horizontal tail limit, right side 122 at sept top.

From Figure 51, can be clear that: when several septs 110 are provided with closely adjacent relation or continuous shoulder to shoulder relation, horizontal roof limb limit 124 extends beyond next door, right side 122 from next door, left side 120, and with the 124 one-tenth overlapping relations in horizontal roof limb limit in the next door, left side 120 of next adjacent spaces thing on the right side.Therefore, the horizontal roof limb limit 124 in next door, left side forms a segmentation according to combining form but the articulamentum that is connected as a single entity.Certainly, the horizontal roof limb limit 124 in next door, each sept left side is adhesively fixed on the horizontal roof limb limit 126 in next door, right side, also is fixed to simultaneously on the horizontal roof limb limit 124 in next door, left side of right side next-door neighbour's sept.A covering layer 130 is fixed on the base portion 118 of each sept, so that the base portion of these septs is connected with each other, certainly, if necessary, can also fix a decorative layer (not shown) on outer field soffit or segmentation articulamentum.

Another embodiment 132 of plate manufactured according to the present invention has been shown in Figure 53-55, in this embodiment, sept 134 itself no longer is the hole trellis, but be converted into flexuose material band, and be fixed between outer 136 and one articulamentum 138, thereby also formed the compressible plate of hole trellis.At first referring to Figure 53 and 54, sept 134 is made of a material band, and this material band has parallel indentation line 140 of pair of outer and inner parallel indentation line 142, still, the folding direction of two external parallel indentation lines is opposite, and the folding direction of two inner parallel indentation lines is also opposite.Between the outside indentation line 140 of this band and lateral edges 148, formed a pair of installed surface or

fringe region

144 and 146, can in any suitable manner this a pair of installed surface be respectively fixed on outer and the articulamentum.Between these fringe regions of sept, the mid portion 150 of sept has two inner impressions, can subside when making band be subjected to lateral pressure on one of edge region by these two inner impressions.Represented by the formed plate 132 of sept shown in Figure 53 and 54 with expansion and compressive state respectively among Figure 55 and 56.

Represented to be used for the another kind of sept 152 of plate 154 shown in Figure 59 and 60 among Figure 57 and 58 respectively with expansion and compressive state.Shown in Figure 57 and 58, sept 152 comprises the outside indentation line 156 of pair of parallel, and this two indentation line and the material band both sides of the edge 158 that form this sept keep at a certain distance away to same direction invagination, between two parallel outside indentation lines, have one the 3rd in the middle of indentation line 160.A upper edge region 162 is formed between one of material band one edge and said external indentation line, and much bigger, second a lower limb zone 164 is formed between material band corresponding edge and the adjacent indentations line along the bottom of sept.Sentence rightabout at middle indentation line 160 and fold, thereby make sept have the upper edge region and the lower limb zone of different in width, shown in Figure 58, these two fringe regions all stretch out to the right from their adjacent fold lines 156.Be parallel to each other, equidistant a plurality of positions, the upper edge region 162 of each sept is fixed on the articulamentum 166, lower limb zone 164 then is suitable for extending to the right, thereby with the overlapping sub-fraction of the next sept in right side.Overlapping lower limb zone is fixed up mutually, thereby forms holistic segmentation skin 168, and this skin is that the lower limb zone by each sept constitutes.Certainly, a decorative layer (not shown) also can cover on this interconnective fringe region, an articulamentum perhaps can be set make plate have various aesthetic effect.

Show a similar embodiment 170 of sept among Figure 61-64 once more, wherein the material band is provided with pair of outer indentation line 172 and the middle indentation line 174 between them, and upper edge region 176 and lower limb zone 178 are respectively formed between strip edge 180 and the two outside indentation lines 172.Folding of outside indentation line 172 places is opposite with the folding direction of middle indentation line 174, thereby shown in Figure 62: all flatly stretch out to the right in upper edge region and lower limb zone.Will be appreciated that: the horizontal-extending length of this two horizontal zone has all surpassed middle indentation line 174, and be suitable for upper edge region and lower limb region overlapping with right side adjacent spaces thing, so just can in any suitable manner they be fixed up, and form expansion plate shown in Figure 63 and the compression plate shown in Figure 64.

Shown in Figure 68-73, in another embodiment of plate 182 designed according to this invention, plate still has a skin 54, articulamentum 56 and several septs that extends 184 between this is two-layer.Can be clear that from Figure 68 and 71: the cross section of the sept 184a the part plate is a zigzag, and the cross section of sept 184b is anti-zigzag in plate another part.Shown in Figure 72 and 73, at 186 places, position that the sept direction changes, plate can be curved a right angle, thereby plate for example can be adapted to it with the zone, right angle in the building unit that is mounted.For example, plate can be walked around the pipe-line system of perpendicular type, and such pipe-line system can be the pipeline that is used to guide forced ventilation etc. in the house.

Refer again to Figure 68 and 71, be understandable that: the sept 184a in the plate right-hand side part is a Z-section, thereby form and one extend last horizontal tail limit 188 to the left, an extension following horizontal tail limit 190 to the right is connected wing limit 192 with a diagonal angle, the right hand edge on 192 connection upper limb limits, wing limit and the left hand edge on bottom wing limit.Certainly, zigzag sept 184a also can form according to the method that is similar to said method, promptly in the material band of making sept indentation line is set, then along these indentation line folding material bands.Certainly, anti-Z-shaped sept 184b in the plate left-hand side part have extend to the right side one on horizontal tail limit 194, a following horizontal tail limit 196 that extends to the left side be connected wing limit 198 with a diagonal angle, wing limit 198 extends to the right hand edge on bottom wing limit from the left hand edge on upper limb limit.

From Figure 68 and Figure 71-73, can be clear that, sept be folded to 186 places, position that change (shown in the plate this position near center position), plate can be curved a right angle.Then plate can be shown in Figure 72 and 73 complete expansion like that, thereby the wing limit of sept is perpendicular to one another, and forms the hole lattice of rectangle thus.

Referring to Figure 68 and 69, will be appreciated that: this plate also can compress as the plate of making according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

Can improve the hardness of plate on transverse direction by mode shown in Figure 74-79.Be understandable that: can partly cut near one section of its end on plate at 89 places, articulamentum 56 and sept 52 (along the cross-web direction of internode length) have been cut off in this incision, but do not cut off outer 54.This incision has formed a little material bands 91, and shown in Figure 75, this band can be compressed independently, to be contained in the firmization intermediate plate 93.In the disclosure embodiment, the cross section of rigid clip is roughly J-shaped, the parallel short side 97 that have a long side 95, keeps at a certain distance away with it, an interconnective connecting wall 99 of respective edges and a rim 101 that makes upside and short side, rim pick out away from the opposite edges of connecting wall 99 are outstanding on the long side.Intermediate plate is installed on the material bands after the compression, thereby this material is remained under the compressive state.Then, shown in Figure 77 and 78,, thereby form a rigidity position along the plate end with upwards turning up after intermediate plate and the compression.Certainly, if necessary, the material bands of firmization is after it is like that upwards turned up shown in Figure 78 and 79, and fix in position can bond.

Apparent to one skilled in the artly be: intermediate plate has suitable variations, also available this intermediate plate is as intermediate plate is installed, be used for plate suspended from the ceiling support member (not shown), support member wherein for example be submitted on April 10th, 2000, name is called " coating system and be used for the plate (A Cladding System andPanel for Use in Such System) of this type systematic ", the common disclosed type of pending application No.08/752957, this application with the invention belongs to common applicant.The content of this application is attached to herein as a reference.

To the explanation of various embodiments of the present invention, we can further understand from above: various septs with unique construction can be used among other the embodiment.Only as an example, the top and the lower part that separate upper edge region and lower limb zone on the top of the alar septum of various septs and lower part or the sidewall can have identical or different size, thus the symmetry of formation and asymmetrical sept.In addition, change the angle in the sept alar septum simply, can make a plate be easier to compression than another plate.Similarly, by making the bigger at interval distance of sept, plate can be easier to along sept cross-web direction bending longitudinally.The degree of depth of sept also will influence the intensity (supposing that other parameter remains unchanged) of plate, thus only by increasing the thickness of sept, just the length of plate and width (being span) can be added very large greatly, and can not change the intensity and the connection performance of plate.Equally, as mentioned above,, can produce various aesthetics and acoustical absorbance properties, form effects such as different colors, pattern, texture in the room of plate thereby can state in the use by on the plate skin, laminating dissimilar decorative layers.

In addition, from above-mentioned explanation, can know: can make plate realize different characteristics by changing the material of making skin, articulamentum or sept.For example, can make plate have different acoustical absorbance properties, perhaps have different light transmission features by changing material.Simultaneously, these materials also can be fire-resistant, with the flame propagation in the building that prevents to adopt above-mentioned plate.Can also use different materials in plate, for example skin or articulamentum are made with identical or different material, and sept is used with the identical or different material of one of outer and articulamentum and made.Also can in same plate, make sept itself with different materials.For example, some sept is set makes plate have elasticity and compressive characteristics, and other sept can be arranged for changing acoustical absorbance properties, light transmission features or refractoriness of plate or the like.Equally, plate also can be stacked in the building structure, with acoustical absorbance properties or the light transmission features that changes above-mentioned plate.

Although above-mentioned plate is the sub as common sound-absorbing brick in principle, these sound-absorbing bricks are supported on the T shape support member of furred ceiling screen work, also can slightly make an amendment plate, thereby it can be folded down from same T shape support member.Be understood that available these plates are replaced or upgraded existing ceiling system, in this process, can remove or not remove the sound-absorbing brick that has placed or be supported on T shape support member 60 tops by hanging plate of the present invention from T shape support member 60.

The plate of having been changed 200 has been shown among Figure 80-96, to the change of plate be convenient to it suspended or be supported on the T shape support member 60 from the T shape support member 60, several plates shown in Fig. 8 be installed in existing abatvoix 202 below, abatvoix 202 is supported on the support member 60.Be understood that each plate 200 belongs to above-mentioned common type, and such shown in Figure 84-86, have a skin 204, an articulamentum 206 and several hole compartment partings 208 that between this is two-layer, be arranged in parallel.As mentioned above, these hole compartment partings are preferably compressible inherently, can find out better that from Figure 87 to Figure 91 these septs are to be formed by the individual member strip that is forced out folding line and fold, thereby form lengthwise pipe fitting with two inversion butt Delta Regions 210 and 212.Sept 208 has the subsided center side wall 214 of band fold line 216, these fold lines allow center side wall or such inside subsiding shown in Figure 89-91, perhaps such outside expansion shown in Figure 87 and 88, this is according to multiple situation and fixed, these situations comprise: make the used adhesive type of the glass fiber felt material of sept and the heating and cooling of sept are handled, these contents will be described in more detail below.

Shown in Figure 81-86, along on each end of hole compartment parting 208 openends, the intermediate plate 218 of a uniqueness is fixed on the plate at plate 200.These intermediate plates are lengthwises, and preferably a kind of rigid material, and for example the extrusion modling part of aluminium, plastics etc. can be found out significantly from Figure 82, are reversed J shape on its structure collectivity.Thereby, forming a vertical main platysome 220, this platysome has one from the outstanding rim 222 of its lower limb.Extend a top hook-shaped groove 224 that Open Side Down from the top edge of this main body.Simultaneously, form one second or the hook-shaped groove 226 of horizontal opening along this top edge, this groove is outstanding along the direction opposite with rim 222 from main body.Below horizontal opening groove 226, an inclination projecting rib 228 extends downwards from the top edge of main body.

Referring to Figure 92-95, can like this intermediate plate 218 be fixed on the end of plate 200: or as mentioned above like that by on the plate end, slotting, thereby make the outer 204 two opposite ends that protrude in plate in the vertical; Or skin is made slightly longer and slightly wideer than plate remainder, thereby it can stretch out from two opposite ends or opposition side naturally, outer longitudinal extension part 230 and the horizontal expansion portion 232 shown in formation Figure 87 and 92.One can be bonded on the top surface of the longitudinal extension part 230 that protrudes in the plate end on the skin by the lengthwise rigidity vertical bar 234 that plastics, aluminium, cardboard etc. are made, then, shown in Figure 94, adjacent with main body by rigidity bar and outer field longitudinal extension part are inserted, in the J-shaped groove 224 of under shed, and the rim 222 that makes intermediate plate covers on the medial surface of rigidity bar, and intermediate plate has been arranged on outer field two longitudinal extension parts and the rigidity bar.By above-mentioned intermediate plate is so in place, then can be shown in Figure 95 like that, outer field longitudinal extension part 230, rigidity bar 234 and intermediate plate 218 are upwards rolled over, up to the articulamentum in plate two opposite ends is accommodated between the J-shaped groove 226 and inclined ribs 228 of intermediate plate horizontal opening.Then, the downside of the J-shaped groove 226 of horizontal opening can be by bonding or otherwise be fixed on the articulamentum 206, thereby intermediate plate is remained on the state shown in Figure 95.

The inclined ribs 228 of each intermediate plate all extend into articulamentum 206 belows, thereby plate is remained on the state of complete expansion.By on each longitudinal end of plate, carrying out identical process, can understand: all will have an intermediate plate on each plate, and the J-shaped groove 226 of horizontal opening can be oriented to shown in Figure 84 and 85 to be fixed on the flange of T shape support member 60 like that.

Illustrated among Figure 92 A-95A and be used for the J-shaped intermediate plate is fixed on another kind of optional method on the plate end.In this optional system, shown in Figure 92 A, at a longitudinal opening end of plate, wear the openend of articulamentum 206 and sept 208 and make a kerf or joint-cutting to incision, thereby between the cutting-out of articulamentum/sept part and plate remainder, form a gap.Then, this articulamentum and sept are compressed into downwards and outer 204 tight adjacent relations, material after the compression is inserted in the intermediate plate in the J-shaped groove 224 of under shed then, thus shown in Figure 94 A like that, rim 222 is covered on the inside edge of compression back material.Afterwards, the intermediate plate that wherein accommodates compression back material is upwards rolled over and fix in position, wherein preferably used cemented in place, a plate that has so just formed shown in Figure 95 A is vertically held.

Shown in Figure 83, the end of horizontal opening J-shaped groove 226 inwardly forms spaces from two opposite vertically ends of intermediate plate 218, and holding T shape support member 60, the bearing of trend in space is perpendicular to the fixing T shape support member 60 at place of this intermediate plate.By this way, plate just can be installed in the common screen work of T shape support member in the mode of suspension rather than in the mode that supports, and can support, also can not support other sound-absorbing brick group on this screen work.In other words, the plate 200 that is fixed with intermediate plate 218 on it can be used for being connected with existing screen work, perhaps also is used for being connected with a new screen work in identical mode.As can recognizing: the intermediate plate of the plate of adjacent vertical alignment can be (Figure 85) that is adjacent to each other, so plate has only very little interval between the outer field end, be substantially continuous outward appearance thereby ceiling is had, and can't see the screen work that plate hangs.In addition, because intermediate plate remains on plate under the state of its complete expansion,, so just make the ceiling that constitutes by such plate be rendered as smooth uniform outward appearance so the skin of the lower floor of each plate or skin 204 and adjacent plate is a horizontal alignment.Referring to Figure 87-91, outer field horizontal expansion portion 232 can upwards be rolled over and be engaged with adjacent with it sidewall 214 on the outermost sept, and with a kind of suitable adhesive securement thereon, thereby make plate have smooth outward appearance along its lateral edges.

Sometimes may need plate is folded around a turning, perhaps need to form a turning.Utilize plate of the present invention, so folding or turning can be aesthetically formed by the method shown in Figure 97 and 98.From Figure 97, can find out, on plate, need to fold or the bent position place, the articulamentum 206 at sept 208 and top thereof the remainder from plate can be scaled off, still be kept but this sept takes down the skin of position.The plate remainder can be folded along a direction or other direction shown in Figure 98, thereby a remainder of plate can be vertical orientated with other parts, outer 204 then walk around bent angle continuously extends, thereby has formed a perfectly smooth turning for plate.Plate need be folded like this, for example, in a skylight, window surpasses the height levels of ceiling and raises and enter into one to the zone that is recessed on, by carrying out the step shown in Figure 97 and 98, a plate or several plates can be converted into from common heights of ceilings and extend up to the recessed zone in skylight.

As mentioned above, the preferred material of manufacturing sept comprises the mixture of glass fiber and hot setting glue and thermoplastic resin.Even wish that the material that forms like this pressing pleat as mentioned above like that or for example being folded into shown in Figure 89-91 under the situation of spacer structures, also keeps the directed state in plane.In order to keep the inwardly folding folding backs structures of each sept upper side wall 214, plate 200 need be remained on to the small part compressive state through very long a period of time, otherwise the sidewall after folding will outwards fold and try hard to recover that it is dull and stereotyped directed.Certainly, if above-mentioned sept be fixed to along top and bottom outer 204 and articulamentum 206 on the time, then they just can not be returned to dull and stereotyped state of orientation, if but under compressive state, do not keep, then sidewall can attempt after after a while tetanic, when this situation occurring, sidewall just becomes folded-out state of orientation shown in Figure 88 from the inside folded directional state shown in Figure 89, wherein, the adjacent sidewalls of sidewall and adjacent spaces thing, strengthen and strengthened plate thus jointly, so they are incompressible in fact.Illustrate one among Figure 96 and be in its plate of incompressible state basically.In other words, have compressive characteristics in order to make whole plate, sidewall need carry out invagination like that shown in Figure 89-91.

In the environment of not heating, the material band of making sept 208 is folded, before skin 204 and articulamentum 206 are in turn laminated to, applying a kind of hot-melt adhesive on this band or on outer and articulamentum at this material band.As mentioned above, unless plate 200 is remained in a kind of compressed format, shown in Figure 89-91, otherwise after after a while, they will expand into the form shown in Figure 88, will no longer can be compressed at this form lower plate.Whether plate depends on a plurality of factors from formal transformation shown in Figure 89-91 to the required time phase of form shown in Figure 88, and these factors comprise: make resin used in the material of sept and heat when sept is in compressed format shown in Figure 89-91 etc.Heat by sept, can prolong them and expand into the used time of form shown in Figure 88 compressed format.Equally, by used thermoplastic resin in the material mixture ratio that increase to make sept, also can prolong sept from formal transformation shown in Figure 89 to the required time of form shown in Figure 88.As an example, can between 15 minutes to 32 hours, change described conversion time.

Accordingly, when making or betransporteding plate 200, preferably transport with squeezed state, thereby can be in a less container closed assembly and the more plate of transportation, especially true when comparing with common sound-absorbing brick with fixed thickness, the thickness of common sound-absorbing brick wherein to according to of the present invention similar according to 200 thickness after complete expansion.Yet in case these plates are taken out from delivery container, they just expand into form shown in Figure 89 from form shown in Figure 91 through form shown in Figure 90 at once.They will keep one section above-mentioned time phase of form shown in Figure 89, and after this, they will convert form shown in Figure 88 to, and under such form, they will become incompressible.Therefore, if plant before incompressible becoming, they are still resilient, and are easy to be inserted in the opening that forms between the support member in the support grid system.

As mentioned above, the plate that constitutes according to the present invention has desirable acoustical absorbance properties, and this characteristic can change with the variation of parameter.By one embodiment of the invention and common sound-absorbing brick are compared, as can be seen, the plate that constitutes according to the present invention can obtain useful sound-absorbing effect.The comparison chart of plate shown in Figure 14 of the present invention and other sound-absorbing brick has been shown among Figure 99.X-axis is represented frequency with hertz, and Y-axis is represented the noise attentuation coefficient.Three kinds of plates that compare with plate among Figure 14 of the present invention respectively by Armstrong produce, trade mark for the hard mineral wool sound-absorbing brick of " Cirrus ", produce by the Ecophon of Sweden, trade mark is two inches thick glass fibre tiles of " Focus " and the expanded metal of 0.7mm, metal sheet has the Hunter Douglas nonwoven hair covering layer that produce, that be numbered Luxalon 300C by the Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

As can be seen, abatvoix is all showing the characteristic that is better than above-mentioned three kinds of plates than low-frequency range and relative high frequency section among Figure 14, also shows characteristic preferably in intermediate bands.

Though above be to come with to a certain degree specifics that present invention is described, but it is to be understood that disclosure text is just as exemplary explanation, can under the situation that does not break away from the scope of the invention defined in the appended claim book, do change to minutia or structure.
