- It also relates to a method of manufacturing such a sound absorbent.
- Such a sound absorbent and such a method are known from US-A-4 850 093.
- the known sound absorbent suffers acoustically from the drawback of an insufficient low sound attenuation.
- a face plate of titanium is provided with the very small holes by laser drilling. Drilling of a large number of holes is time consuming and thus expensive, in particular since a laser equipment is utilised.
- the face plate is provided on a cellular/honeycomb core, made for example of paper.

- the first layer 4 is made of a cellulose material, polymer material or metal and has a first thickness ti, while the second layer 6 has a second thickness tz.
- the material of the second layer 6 is of a cellulose material, polymer material or metal, and may be of the same material as the first layer 4, even though the first and second layers may be made of different materials.
- the total thickness T of the sound absorbent 2 is thus the sum of the first thickness ti, the core thickness t c and the second thickness t2.
- the first thickness ti of said first layer is in the range of 10 micrometers to 5 mm, more preferably 20 micrometers to 0,9 mm, most preferably 50 micrometers to 0,6 mm.
- the second thickness ⁇ 2 of said second layer is preferably in the same range as the first thickness ti, but may be thinner or thicker than said range.
- the second thickness t ⁇ of said second layer may be substantially the same as the first thickness ti.
- the first layer 4 and the second layer 6 are arranged on opposite sides of the
- intermediate layer 8 and are thus parallel to one another.
- the intermediate layer 8 comprises plurality of elongated cells 12, the length of which corresponds to the core thickness t c of the intermediate layer 8.
- the cells 12 are defined by walls 13, the thickness of which is in the range of 10 micrometers to 0,5 mm, more preferably 30 micrometers to 0,3 mm, most preferably 50 micrometers to 0,2 mm.
- the walls 13 are made of a cellulose material, polymer material or metal.

- FIG. 2 shows in cross-section along lines II-II in figure 1, a number of cells 12 of different geometries; each cell 12a is defined by a wall 13 of circular cross-section 18a, while each cell 12b is defined by a wall 13 of a star-shaped cross-section 18b.
- the star- shaped cells 12b are placed between the circular cells 12a for filling out the residual space between the circular-shaped cells, in order to improve sound attenuation compared to if the spaces were filled with e.g. glue.
- FIG. 3 shows cells 12 of yet another shape.
- a plurality of corrugated sheets 20a, 20b are formed to sharp ridges 22 and valleys 24 (i.e. zig-zag form) and are connected to one another at ridges 22 of the second corrugated sheet 20a and valleys 24 of the first corrugated sheet 20a contacting one another.
- each cell 12 is defined by walls 13, together having a diamond or rhomboid cross-section 18c.
- a plane sheet is placed between the first and second corrugated sheets 20a, 20b, while the valleys 24 of the first corrugated sheet 20a is connected to one side of the plane sheet, while the ridges 22 of sheet 20b are connected to the opposite side of the plane sheet.
- each cell 12 is defined by the plane sheet and the walls 13, and the cross-section of the cells will be triangular. It should be noted that for maniifacturing reasons, it is preferable to arrange the valleys and ridges of the first and second sheets 20a, 20b in a mirror shaped manner, such that the valleys and ridges can be connected to the plane sheet simultaneously, e.g. by spot or line welding.
- Figure 4 shows cells 12 of yet another shape.

- the cross-section of the cells will be square.
- the corrugated square wave sheets 20c may be connected to one another without the sheet 26a, 26b (in a manner corresponding to that of Fig 3), whereby the cross-section of the cells will be rectangular.
- Fig. 5 shows an alternative configuration of the intermediate layer 8, according to which plane sheets 26a, 26b, 26c etc. are put between sinus- wave shaped sheets 20a, 20b, 20c etc.

- the valleys and ridges of the first and second sheets 20a, 20b in a mirror shaped manner, such that the valleys and ridges sinus-waves can be connected to the plane sheet simultaneously, e.g. by spot or line welding.
- Fig. 5 If the configuration of Fig. 5 is used without plane sheets between the sinus- wave shaped, while connecting the valleys directly to the ridges of neighbouring sinus- wave sheets, the cross-section of the cells will instead be lemon-shaped (or substantially circular or oval).
- FIG. 1 shows another variant of the cells 12, according to which a plurality of first corrugated sheets 20d are shaped with plane ridges 22 and sharp valleys 24, while a plurality of second corrugated sheet 20d is mirror shaped, i.e.
- a plane sheet may be put between the corrugated sheets.
- the cells 12 shown in Figs. 1 - 7 are all cylindrical, i.e. the cross-section in the elongation of the cell 12 from the first open end 14 to the second open end 16 is constant.
- Figs 8A-8C are shown an alternative configuration of the cells with varying cross- section.
- each cell 12 has a waist 30 or a time- glass shape.

- the cross-section 18 may instead be frusto-conical 32, i.e. the cross- section is circular, the diameter of which varying continuously from the first open end 14 to the second open end 16.
- the first cross-section 18' at the first open end 14 is larger than the second cross-section 18" at the second end 16, or vice versa.
- the first and the second layers 4, 6 are connected to the intermediate layers shown in figures 2-7 and 8A-8C in the manner shown in Figure 1, i.e. such that it covers the open ends 14, 16 of the cells 12.
- This is of great importance when manufacturing the micro-slits, since the absorber may collapse during machining if the intermediate layer is not stable enough.
- a cut-out of the first layer 4 is shown.
- the micro-slits 10 have a width a and are arranged parallel to and at a distance b from one another, and as shown in Fig. 10, the micro-slits have a length L.
- Fig. 10 furthermore shows the manufacture of micro-slits in a sound-absorbent 2.
- a robot 50 controlled by a micro-computer 52 is programmed to control the movements of a robot arm 54.
- a tool holder 56 is provided with an exchangeable cutting tool 58, such as a cutting blade or a knife.
- the tool as such may be oscillating, such as a jigsaw, or rotating, such as a circular saw or an end mill.
- the tool may be a punch knife. In both cases, the robot only needs another programming of the computer.
- the computer 52 of the robot 50 is programmed such that it will control the robot arm to perform longitudinal movements and cut slits at a distance b from one another, such that neighbouring slits 10 are cut at a distance b within a range of 1 micrometer to 10 mm, more preferably 10 micrometer to 5 mm, most preferably 0,5 - 2 mm.
- the computer 52 is furthermore programmed to control the robot arm to cut said slits to a length L within the range of 2 - 2000 mm, more preferably 10 - 1000 mm, most preferably 100 - 1000 mm.
- a plurality of aligned slits 10 may each have a length L, while together having a total length L tot which may be within the range of 4 mm up to several meters; only the size of the sound absorbent 2 sets the upper limit.
- Figs 12A- 12 B shows a circular sound absorbent 2 with a plurality of parallel slits 10.
- the diameter of the circular sound absorbent 2 sets the upper limit of the length of each slit L (or in case of a plurality of aligned slits (cf. Fig 11) the total length L tot ).
- a spirally shaped single slit 10 is provided in the first layer 4.
- the length of the slit L may be many meters.
- the intermediate layer has been shown to have a constant thickness t c , such that first layer 4 and the second layer 6 are parallel to one another.
- the thickness t c of the intermediate layer may instead be everything else than constant, and thus, the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 will not be parallel.
- the intermediate layer 8 is concave 60 on the side facing the first layer 4 in such a way that the first layer 4 is caused to be concave as well, while the opposite side of the intermediate layer 8 is plane, and hence also the second layer 6 is plane.
- the intermediate layer 8 is concave 60 also on the side facing the second layer 4, and thus, the first and second layers 4, 6 are both concave 60.
- the intermediate layer 8 is instead convex 62 on the side facing the first layer 4 in such a way that the first layer 4 is caused to be convex 62 as well, while the opposite side of the intermediate layer 8 is plane, and hence also the second layer 6 is plane.
- the intermediate layer 8 is convex 62 also on the side facing the second layer 6, and thus, the first and second layers 4, 6 are both convex 62.
- the intermediate layer 8 is concave 60 on the side facing the first layer 4 in such a way that the first layer 4 is caused to be concave 60 as well, while the opposite side of the intermediate layer 8 is convex 62, and hence also the second layer 6 is convex 62.
- Another concave-convex shape is shown in Fig. 17.
- Fig 13F shows a different configuration of the sound absorbent 2, wherein the intermediate layer has a double sloping side facing the first layer 4, such that also the first layer is double sloping, wile the opposite side of the intermediate layer facing the second layer 6 is plane.
- the side of the intermediate layer 8 facing the second layer 6 may be double sloping.
- the cells 12 of the intermediate layer 8 has been shown to have a length corresponding to the core thickness t c of the intermediate layer 8.
- the cells 12 may instead be inclined with respect to a normal to the layers 4 and 6.
- the angle a may be in the range 0° - 30°.
- Fig 15 shows rectangular sound absorbents 2 attached to a ceiling by fastening means 72 hanging from a ceiling.
- the first layer 4 is provided with micro-slits 10, but also the second layer 6.
- the elongated slits may be provided diagonally to edges of the rectangular sound absorbent.
- all the above shown variants of sound absorbers 2 may be provided with slits arranged at an angle to and in the plane of the first (or second) layer.
- Fig. 16 shows a sound absorbent 2 with a pattern of micro-slits 10 that also have an aesthetic effect.
- Fig 17 shows a room provided with different kinds of sound absorbents 2 provided with micro-slits 10 on the first as well as the second layer 4, 6, and furthermore supported by stands 80; this kind of sound absorbent 2 is suitable for example in open plan offices.
- Fig 17 also shows sound absorbents 2 in the form of pieces of art 82, 84, where the pattern of the micro-slits as such have an aesthetic effect in item 82 (the surface preferably having a uniform colour, such as white, to emphasize the pattern of the micro-slits), whereas in item 84, an image is provided on the surface of the first layer 4, and micro-slits are provided in the image.
- the micro-slits 10 will in this case be more or less invisible, depending on the character and colouring of the image.
