Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sound absorbing means which contains at least one acoustic resonance membrane formed by a layer of polymeric nanofibers.
  • Sound absorbing materials are generally used in many different fields and their main task is to provide hygiene of the environment from the point of view of undesired or harmful sound.
  • the design of a sound absorbing material suitable for the particular application is based on a range of frequencies of unwanted sound, which is to be absorbed or damped.
  • porous materials such as melamine, polyurethane and metal foams or non-woven fabrics made from mineral or polymeric fibers. Nevertheless, for absorbing sounds of lower frequencies are these materials unsuitable due to great material thickness needed in such cases.
  • the general objective is to combine the above-mentioned characteristics into one acoustic system which would be able to absorb sounds of low as well as of high frequencies.
  • a layered sound absorbing non-woven fabric which comprises a layer of nanofibers with diameter up to 600 nanometers and a surface weight of 0,1 to 5 g.m -2 and at least another layer of fibrous material, these layers being formed by cross laying.
  • the layer of nanofibers fulfills the function of acoustic resonance membrane resonating at low frequency, whereas the layer of another material provides not only sufficient damping, by which means the maximum quantity of sound energy gathered in the resonator is converted into heat, but at the same time it is also capable of absorbing sounds of higher frequencies.
  • this textile absorbs with good results especially sounds of frequencies in relatively narrow range from approximately 700 to 1300 Hz.
  • EP2214160 discloses a similar sound absorbing panel, including a layer of fibers compressed and consolidated along a grid to produce separate sound absorbing cushions.
  • the goal of the invention is therefore to eliminate or at least reduce the disadvantages of the present state of the art and to propose sound absorbing means that would be capable of absorbing with good results sounds in as broadest frequency range as possible.
  • Said means contains resonance membrane formed by a layer of polymeric nanofibers, which is attached to a frame.
  • the resonance membrane is then, upon impact of sound waves of low frequency, brought into forced vibrations, whereby the kinetic energy of the membrane is converted into thermal energy by friction of individual nanofibers, by the friction of the membrane with ambient air and possibly with other layers of material arranged in its proximity, and part of the energy is also transmitted to the frame, by which means the vibrations of the resonance membrane are damped.
  • the frame can be arranged along at least part of the resonance membrane circumference and/or at least on part of the area of at least one surface of the resonance membrane.
  • the frame is flexible, whereby it is formed by a mesh of formations of material in solid state which penetrate at least partially into the thickness of the resonance membrane and are interconnected with the nanofibers by enwrapping part of these nanofibres or, on the contrary, are at least partially enwrapped by the material of the nanofibers, or due to the adhesive properties of the material of the nanofibers.
  • the mesh of formations can be regular in order to obtain uniform properties over the whole area of the sound absorbing material.
  • the frame may be also advantageous if it is spatially shaped, for example according to the surface of the support, on which the sound absorbing means is to be applied.
  • Formations of material in solid state are points and/or linear formations and/or planar formations - as required, whereby as the frame it is possible to use, for example, even only one linear formation, which is arranged along at least a part of the resonance membrane circumference.
  • the resonance membrane is connected to the frame with positive, zero or negative tension.

  • resonance membrane formed by layer of polymeric nanofibers which is due to its small interfibrous spaces and planar arrangement brought into forced vibrations upon impact of sound waves of low frequency.
  • part of the kinetic energy of the membrane is transmitted to the frame, to which the membrane is fixedly attached, and other part is converted into thermal energy due to increased friction in its inner structure, which is caused by the fact that the neighbouring parts of the membrane, separated at least partially by the frame or its elements, may vibrate with mutually different periods and/or deviations.
  • a separate layer of polymeric nanofibers is used, or a layer of polymeric nanofibers arranged on suitable carrying layer, on which it was deposited during its formation through electrostatic spinning, or to which it was transported after being formed, such as for example a textile, a grid, a mesh, metal or plastic foil (including bubble foil), a layer of foam material, a layer of aerogel, a layer containing aerogel as one of its components, etc., or a layer containing any combination of these materials.
  • the carrying layer can be arranged in a direction towards the support, to which the sound absorbing means according to the invention is to be applied, or on contrary, in a direction away from it, when it protects the layer of polymeric nanofibers from mechanical damage, and at the same time it can constitute or co-constitute the face side of this means.
  • this layer - due to mutual friction with the layer of the polymeric nanofibers - also contributes to damping of this layer and conversion of its kinetic energy into thermal energy.
  • some underlay layers can serve also to damp at least partially sounds with higher frequencies. If needed, the layer of polymeric nanofibers is connected to the carrying layer by means of suitable binder and/or by lamination.

  • the membrane 1 is by suitable binder attached to the rigid frame 2 formed by regular grid 21 , whose empty spaces 22 , or meshes, this membrane 1 overlaps.
  • these empty spaces 22 the membrane 1 is freely movable, whereby upon the impact of sound waves of low frequency it may move in each of them differently, e.g. with different period and/or deviation, which results in the increase in friction between the nanofibers in its structure and contributes to damping (see Fig. 1d ).
