Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for reducing sound, particularly sound of traffic travelling over a road or track, which device comprises a body with a main surface, wherein one or more grooves are arranged in the main surface, wherein each groove extends in a first direction and is bounded by a first groove edge and a second groove edge, wherein the two groove edges extend parallel to the first direction and lie in the main surface of the body wherein each groove comprises a first groove wall hanging downward from the first groove edge, which first groove wall forms an angle of between 60° and 100°, preferably 90°, with the main surface.
- Such a device is known from EP 3019662 .
- the grooves are designed such that they function as resonators for different sound frequencies.
- the resonators diffract the sound moving over the device upward, so that an area where the sound pressure is reduced is created behind the device.
- the depth of the groove can equal up to several times the width of the groove.
- the depth of the groove is here a quarter of the wavelength of the desired resonance frequency.
- the depth of a groove varies between 0.07 m and 0.12 m, at a width of for instance 0.03 m.
- a separate groove must be formed for each desired resonance frequency, this making the device complex.
- the resonance in the grooves takes time to get underway before the sound-reducing effect is obtained.
- this will only be noticeable in the initial stage, but when the intensity and/or frequencies of the sound production vary, the average sound reduction of such a known device can be lower than in the case of a continuous sound production.
- each groove further comprises a second groove wall rising from the lower side of the first groove wall to the second groove edge, wherein the second groove wall is flat or concave as seen in the first direction and wherein the ratio of the distance between the first groove edge and the second groove edge of a groove to the depth of the relevant groove lies between 1.0 and 3.0.
- the device according to the invention diffracts the sound moving over the device upward in a different manner than in the prior art. Sound which has moved over the first groove edge of the groove will propagate in the groove and reflect against the rising second groove wall. The direction of the sound wave will hereby change and exit the groove more or less perpendicularly of the main surface. The sound waves which have changed direction will here act on the sound waves running parallel to the main surface of the device, and thereby push the sound waves away from the main surface of the device, whereby an area with reduced sound pressure is created behind the device.
- the width of the groove i.e. the distance between the first and second groove edge, must at minimum equal the depth of the groove.
- the depth of the groove is determined by the distance between the main surface and the lowest point in the groove, at the position where the second groove edge connects to the first groove edge.
- the ratio of the distance between the first groove edge and the second groove edge of a groove to the depth of the relevant groove must not be greater than 3 in order to prevent the rising second groove wall from being too flat, this causing the reflected sound waves to move along with the sound moving over the main surface too much and to no longer have a diffracting effect.
- the depth of the groove lies between 0.04 m and 1.0 m, preferably 0.04 m and 0.25 m. It has been found that when the depth is a quarter of the wavelength of a frequency, the sound-reducing effect occurs starting at this frequency and for the frequencies thereabove. In normal circumstances, wherein the speed of sound lies at 331 m/s, a depth of the groove of between 0.04 m and 0.25 m provides for a sound reduction of frequencies between 331 Hz and 2068 Hz.
- the second groove wall is formed, as seen in the first direction, according to an Nth degree polynomial, wherein N is a minimum of 1.0 and wherein N is preferably 2.
- the most optimal form of the second groove wall is, as seen in the first direction, so in cross-section, a parabolic form. This ensures that the path lengths for the sound waves from the first groove edge via the second groove edge to the main surface are equal.
- the reflected sound waves hereby provide for a maximum deflection of the sound moving over the main surface.
- a second groove wall formed according to an Nth degree polynomial, wherein N lies between 1.0 and 3.0 still provides for diffraction of the sound and thereby for a sound reduction.
- a grating extending at least from the first groove edge to the second groove edge is arranged in the one or more grooves.
- the main surface When the device is arranged alongside a road, the main surface must be suitable for a wheel of a vehicle driving thereover. Due to the width of the grooves, which can be up to 0.5 m, it must be prevented that a vehicle ends up with a wheel in the groove. This is prevented by arranging a grating, while the sound waves can still enter the grooves.
- a preferred embodiment of the grating can be formed by partitions placed transversely in the grooves. These partitions can be formed integrally with the groove wall and are preferably provided with a drainage opening so that water can flow out of the grooves.
- At least the second groove wall of each groove is formed by a photovoltaic layer.
- the surface Since the device is highly suitable for arranging along great lengths of road, the surface provides sufficient space for forming solar panels therefrom.
- the invention further relates to a combination of a road and a device according to the invention, wherein the device is arranged adjacently of the road and with the first direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the road.
- An embodiment of the combination according to the invention further comprises a wall, such as a sound barrier, arranged adjacently of and parallel to the road, wherein the device is arranged on the upper edge of the wall.
- a wall such as a sound barrier
- the device is further highly suitable for arranging on the upper edge of a wall or sound barrier.
- the sound reduction of the wall can be further improved or the height of the wall can be reduced, while the desired sound reduction is preserved.
- the main surface of the body forms an angle of between 0° and 90° with the road.
- the main surface When the main surface is kept parallel to the road while the device is arranged on top of a wall, a large part of the grooves will lie outside the path of the skimming sound propagating over the wall and the device.
- the main surface By tilting the main surface, the main surface can still be oriented such that the sound of the road moves over the whole main surface and a maximum reduction is thus provided.

Abstract
wherein each groove comprises a first groove wall hanging downward from the first groove edge, which first groove wall forms an angle of between 60° and 100°, preferably 90°, with the main surface.
wherein each groove further comprises a second groove wall rising from the lower side of the first groove wall to the second groove edge, wherein the second groove wall is flat or concave as seen in the first direction
and wherein the ratio of the distance between the first groove edge and the second groove edge of a groove to the depth of the relevant groove lies between 1.0 and 3.0.
Description
- The invention relates to a device for reducing sound, particularly sound of traffic travelling over a road or track, which device comprises a body with a main surface, wherein one or more grooves are arranged in the main surface, wherein each groove extends in a first direction and is bounded by a first groove edge and a second groove edge, wherein the two groove edges extend parallel to the first direction and lie in the main surface of the body
wherein each groove comprises a first groove wall hanging downward from the first groove edge, which first groove wall forms an angle of between 60° and 100°, preferably 90°, with the main surface. - Such a device is known from
EP 3019662 . In this publication the grooves are designed such that they function as resonators for different sound frequencies. The resonators diffract the sound moving over the device upward, so that an area where the sound pressure is reduced is created behind the device. - In order to have a resonance be generated in the grooves the depth of the groove can equal up to several times the width of the groove. The depth of the groove is here a quarter of the wavelength of the desired resonance frequency. For frequencies between 700 Hz and 1200 Hz, which are characteristic for sound of traffic travelling over a road, the depth of a groove varies between 0.07 m and 0.12 m, at a width of for instance 0.03 m. In addition, a separate groove must be formed for each desired resonance frequency, this making the device complex.
- It has been found that making a body with grooves with such dimensions is difficult when requirements such as strength, ability to withstand vehicles driving thereover and the like must be taken into consideration. A considerable amount of material is moreover necessary for each device, which in turn is disadvantageous in transporting and placing of the devices.
- In addition, the resonance in the grooves takes time to get underway before the sound-reducing effect is obtained. In the case of a continuous sound production this will only be noticeable in the initial stage, but when the intensity and/or frequencies of the sound production vary, the average sound reduction of such a known device can be lower than in the case of a continuous sound production.
- It is therefore an object of the invention to reduce or even obviate the above stated drawbacks.
- This object is achieved according to the invention with a device according to the preamble, which is characterized in that each groove further comprises a second groove wall rising from the lower side of the first groove wall to the second groove edge, wherein the second groove wall is flat or concave as seen in the first direction
and wherein the ratio of the distance between the first groove edge and the second groove edge of a groove to the depth of the relevant groove lies between 1.0 and 3.0. - The device according to the invention diffracts the sound moving over the device upward in a different manner than in the prior art. Sound which has moved over the first groove edge of the groove will propagate in the groove and reflect against the rising second groove wall. The direction of the sound wave will hereby change and exit the groove more or less perpendicularly of the main surface. The sound waves which have changed direction will here act on the sound waves running parallel to the main surface of the device, and thereby push the sound waves away from the main surface of the device, whereby an area with reduced sound pressure is created behind the device.
- In order to provide sufficient space for the reflection of the sound waves on the second groove wall the width of the groove, i.e. the distance between the first and second groove edge, must at minimum equal the depth of the groove. The depth of the groove is determined by the distance between the main surface and the lowest point in the groove, at the position where the second groove edge connects to the first groove edge.
- Finally, the ratio of the distance between the first groove edge and the second groove edge of a groove to the depth of the relevant groove must not be greater than 3 in order to prevent the rising second groove wall from being too flat, this causing the reflected sound waves to move along with the sound moving over the main surface too much and to no longer have a diffracting effect.
- In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention the depth of the groove lies between 0.04 m and 1.0 m, preferably 0.04 m and 0.25 m. It has been found that when the depth is a quarter of the wavelength of a frequency, the sound-reducing effect occurs starting at this frequency and for the frequencies thereabove. In normal circumstances, wherein the speed of sound lies at 331 m/s, a depth of the groove of between 0.04 m and 0.25 m provides for a sound reduction of frequencies between 331 Hz and 2068 Hz.
- In another preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention the second groove wall is formed, as seen in the first direction, according to an Nth degree polynomial, wherein N is a minimum of 1.0 and wherein N is preferably 2.
- The most optimal form of the second groove wall is, as seen in the first direction, so in cross-section, a parabolic form. This ensures that the path lengths for the sound waves from the first groove edge via the second groove edge to the main surface are equal. The reflected sound waves hereby provide for a maximum deflection of the sound moving over the main surface. Nevertheless, a second groove wall formed according to an Nth degree polynomial, wherein N lies between 1.0 and 3.0, still provides for diffraction of the sound and thereby for a sound reduction.
- In yet another embodiment of the device according to the invention a grating extending at least from the first groove edge to the second groove edge is arranged in the one or more grooves.
- When the device is arranged alongside a road, the main surface must be suitable for a wheel of a vehicle driving thereover. Due to the width of the grooves, which can be up to 0.5 m, it must be prevented that a vehicle ends up with a wheel in the groove. This is prevented by arranging a grating, while the sound waves can still enter the grooves.
- A preferred embodiment of the grating can be formed by partitions placed transversely in the grooves. These partitions can be formed integrally with the groove wall and are preferably provided with a drainage opening so that water can flow out of the grooves.
- In yet another embodiment of the device according to the invention at least the second groove wall of each groove is formed by a photovoltaic layer.
- Since the device is highly suitable for arranging along great lengths of road, the surface provides sufficient space for forming solar panels therefrom.
- The invention further relates to a combination of a road and a device according to the invention, wherein the device is arranged adjacently of the road and with the first direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the road.
- An embodiment of the combination according to the invention further comprises a wall, such as a sound barrier, arranged adjacently of and parallel to the road, wherein the device is arranged on the upper edge of the wall.
- The device is further highly suitable for arranging on the upper edge of a wall or sound barrier. Hereby, either the sound reduction of the wall can be further improved or the height of the wall can be reduced, while the desired sound reduction is preserved.
- In a preferred embodiment of the combination according to the invention the main surface of the body forms an angle of between 0° and 90° with the road.
- When the main surface is kept parallel to the road while the device is arranged on top of a wall, a large part of the grooves will lie outside the path of the skimming sound propagating over the wall and the device. By tilting the main surface, the main surface can still be oriented such that the sound of the road moves over the whole main surface and a maximum reduction is thus provided.
