Further a plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 are formed on the inner layer 1, so that an internal space 6 and the void section 5 are communicated through the sound absorbing holes 10, thus noise propagating in the internal space 6 is guided to the void section 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

この発明は、例えば住宅やビル等における空調設備の送排気用として使用されるダクトホースに関する。   The present invention relates to a duct hose that is used, for example, for sending and exhausting air conditioning equipment in a house or a building.

従来より、送排気用のダクトホースにおいては、送風源から発生する騒音をホース内部で極力減衰させて、室内への騒音の伝搬を防止するような消音対策が施されている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a duct hose for air supply and exhaust, noise reduction measures have been taken such that noise generated from a blower source is attenuated as much as possible inside the hose to prevent propagation of noise into the room.

この種のダクトホースとしては、例えば特許文献1にも開示されているように、複数の吸音孔を有する筒状の発泡樹脂層を備え、この発泡樹脂層における複数の吸音孔の内側開口端を、不織布等からなる通気性を有する薄膜によって覆うようにして、ホースの内部空間内において伝搬する騒音を薄膜の通気孔から発泡樹脂層の吸音孔へ導くようにした構造のものが知られている。   As this type of duct hose, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a cylindrical foamed resin layer having a plurality of sound absorbing holes is provided, and inner opening ends of the plurality of sound absorbing holes in the foamed resin layer are provided. A structure having a structure in which noise propagating in the internal space of the hose is guided from the thin film ventilation hole to the sound absorption hole of the foamed resin layer is covered with a thin film made of non-woven fabric or the like having air permeability. .

このような構造のダクトホースでは、発泡樹脂層における騒音の接触面積が拡大するとともに、薄膜によって覆われた吸音孔部分において共鳴器と同様の消音作用を発揮することで、吸音孔を有しない単なる発泡樹脂層を備えた構造のものと比べて、吸音性能の向上を図ることができる。   In the duct hose having such a structure, the contact area of the noise in the foamed resin layer is expanded, and the sound absorbing hole portion covered with the thin film exhibits a silencing action similar to that of the resonator, so that it does not have a sound absorbing hole. Compared to the structure having a foamed resin layer, the sound absorption performance can be improved.

特開2006−313043号公報JP 2006-313043 A

しかしながら、上述したダクトホースでは、発泡樹脂層の内周面側の薄膜部分及び発泡樹脂層の吸音孔部分でしか騒音を減衰させることができない構造となっており、根本的に高い吸音性能を期待できるものではなかった。殊に、吸音孔の個数を少なくしたり、吸音孔の大きさを小さくして、発泡樹脂層全体における吸音孔の占める割合を減らすと、吸音性能の低下を招くことになり、逆に、吸音孔の個数を多くしたり、吸音孔の大きさを大きくして、発泡樹脂層全体における吸音孔の占める割合を増やして吸音性能を高めようとすると、発泡樹脂層の強度低下を招いて、ホースの保形性が損なわれるとともに、ホースの断熱性能も低下してしまうといった矛盾を抱えているものでもある。   However, the duct hose described above has a structure in which noise can be attenuated only at the thin film portion on the inner peripheral surface side of the foamed resin layer and the sound absorbing hole portion of the foamed resin layer, and a fundamentally high sound absorbing performance is expected. It wasn't possible. In particular, if the number of sound absorbing holes is reduced or the size of the sound absorbing holes is reduced to reduce the proportion of the sound absorbing holes in the entire foamed resin layer, the sound absorbing performance will be reduced. Increasing the number of holes or increasing the size of the sound absorbing holes to increase the proportion of the sound absorbing holes in the entire foamed resin layer to improve the sound absorbing performance leads to a decrease in the strength of the foamed resin layer. The shape retention of the hose is impaired, and the heat insulation performance of the hose is also reduced.

そこで、この発明は、上記の不具合を解消して、ホースの強度や断熱性能に支障をきたすことなく、簡単な構造でありながら、吸音性能を格段に向上することができるダクトホースの提供を目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a duct hose that can solve the above-mentioned problems and can significantly improve the sound absorption performance while having a simple structure without impairing the strength and heat insulation performance of the hose. And

この発明のダクトホースは、筒状の発泡樹脂層からなる内層1の外周面側に、補強芯材2を介して筒状の外層4を設けることで、前記内層1の外周面と外層4の内周面との間に空隙部5を形成するとともに、前記内層1に、気体を流通する内部空間6に連通した複数の吸音孔10・・を形成して、これら吸音孔10・・における前記内層1の外周面側の外側開口端10b・・を、前記空隙部5に臨ませるようにしたことを特徴とする。   In the duct hose of the present invention, a cylindrical outer layer 4 is provided on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1 made of a cylindrical foamed resin layer via a reinforcing core member 2, so that the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 4 A gap portion 5 is formed between the inner peripheral surface and a plurality of sound absorbing holes 10... Communicating with the internal space 6 through which gas flows are formed in the inner layer 1, and the sound absorbing holes 10. The outer open end 10b on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1 is made to face the gap portion 5.

具体的に、前記吸音孔10・・は、前記内層1の内周面側から外周面側に向って孔径が大となる断面形状を有している。そして、前記吸音孔10・・における前記内層1の内周面側の内側開口端10a・・を、前記内部空間6に臨ませるようにして、前記吸音孔10・・を前記内部空間6に連通している。或いは、前記吸音孔10・・における前記内層1の内周面側の内側開口端10a・・を、通気性を有する薄膜1a・・によって覆うようにして、前記吸音孔10・・を前記薄膜1a・・の通気孔を介して前記内部空間6に連通している。   Specifically, the sound absorbing holes 10... Have a cross-sectional shape in which the hole diameter increases from the inner peripheral surface side to the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1. The sound absorbing holes 10... Communicate with the inner space 6 such that the inner opening ends 10 a on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1 in the sound absorbing holes 10. is doing. Alternatively, the sound absorption holes 10... Are covered with the thin film 1 a with air permeability so that the inner opening ends 10 a on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1 in the sound absorption holes 10. .. communicated with the internal space 6 through the ventilation holes.

また、前記内層1は、前記吸音孔10・・を形成した帯状の発泡樹脂材11を螺旋状に巻回して、その先行する発泡樹脂材11と後続する発泡樹脂材11の互いに隣接する端縁部同士を、それら端縁部に沿って螺旋状に巻回してなる前記補強芯材2を介して接合してなり、前記補強芯材2は、前記互いに隣接する端縁部の外周面間に跨る横片21と、この横片21からホース径内方向に延出して、前記互いに隣接する端縁部間に入り込んだ縦片22とを備えている。   Further, the inner layer 1 is formed by spirally winding a band-shaped foamed resin material 11 having the sound absorbing holes 10... And adjacent edges of the preceding foamed resin material 11 and the subsequent foamed resin material 11. The parts are joined together via the reinforcing core 2 that is spirally wound along the edge portions, and the reinforcing core 2 is interposed between the outer peripheral surfaces of the adjacent edge portions. A horizontal piece 21 that straddles and a vertical piece 22 that extends from the horizontal piece 21 in the hose radial direction and enters between the adjacent edge portions.

さらに、前記補強芯材2は、前記横片21からホース径外方向に延出して、前記外層4をホース径外方向に押し込む立ち上がり片23を備えている。或いは、前記補強芯材2の横片21の外周面に取り付けられて、前記外層4をホース径外方向に押し込む弾性スペーサー50を備えている。   Further, the reinforcing core member 2 is provided with a rising piece 23 that extends from the lateral piece 21 outward in the hose diameter and pushes the outer layer 4 outward in the hose diameter. Or the elastic spacer 50 which is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the horizontal piece 21 of the said reinforcement core material 2 and pushes the said outer layer 4 in the hose diameter outward direction is provided.

さらにまた、前記内層1の外周面側に、前記発泡樹脂材11の中間部に沿って補助補強線材3・・を螺旋状に巻回している。   Furthermore, auxiliary reinforcing wire rods 3 are spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 along the intermediate portion of the foamed resin material 11.

また、前記外層4は、帯状の軟質樹脂シート材40を螺旋状に巻回して、その先行する軟質樹脂シート材40と後続する軟質樹脂シート材40の互いに隣接する端縁部同士を接合してなる。さらに、前記補強芯材2と前記外層4とを非接着状態としている。さらにまた、前記複数の吸音孔10・・のうち、一部若しくは全部の吸音孔10・・における形状又は大きさを異ならせている。   The outer layer 4 is formed by spirally winding a belt-shaped soft resin sheet material 40 and joining adjacent edge portions of the preceding soft resin sheet material 40 and the subsequent soft resin sheet material 40 to each other. Become. Further, the reinforcing core member 2 and the outer layer 4 are not bonded. Furthermore, among the plurality of sound absorbing holes 10..., Some or all of the sound absorbing holes 10.

この発明のダクトホースにおいては、内部空間内を伝搬する騒音を、内層に形成した複数の吸音孔を介して、内層と外層との間に形成した空隙部へ導くことができるようになっているので、内層及び外層における騒音の接触面積を大幅に拡大して、騒音を効率良く吸音することができ、簡単な構造でありながらも、吸音性能を格段に向上することができる。   In the duct hose according to the present invention, the noise propagating in the internal space can be guided to the gap formed between the inner layer and the outer layer through a plurality of sound absorbing holes formed in the inner layer. Therefore, the contact area of the noise in the inner layer and the outer layer can be greatly expanded to efficiently absorb the noise, and the sound absorbing performance can be remarkably improved while having a simple structure.

しかも、内層における吸音孔の個数を極力多くしたり、吸音孔の大きさを極力大きくしなくても、騒音の接触面積を十分に確保して、良好な吸音性能を得ることができることから、内層の強度低下を抑えて、ホースの保形性を良好に維持することができる。加えて、内層と外層との間の空隙部によって空気層が形成されて、空気断熱効果が得られることから、ホースの断熱性能の向上も図ることができる。   Moreover, it is possible to obtain a satisfactory sound absorption performance by ensuring a sufficient contact area of noise without increasing the number of sound absorbing holes in the inner layer as much as possible or without increasing the size of the sound absorbing holes as much as possible. It is possible to maintain the good shape retention of the hose while suppressing a decrease in strength of the hose. In addition, since an air layer is formed by the gap between the inner layer and the outer layer and an air heat insulating effect is obtained, the heat insulating performance of the hose can be improved.

また、吸音孔の内側開口端を小径とすることで、内層の内周面を凹凸の少ない略平滑な状態として、送排気時の通風抵抗を小さく抑えることができる。さらに、吸音孔の内側開口端を、内部空間に直接臨ませることで、内部空間内を伝搬する騒音を空隙部へ確実に導いて、良好な吸音性能を安定して維持することができる。さらにまた、吸音孔の内側開口端を、通気性を有する薄膜で覆うことで、内層の内周面を凹凸のほとんどない略平滑な状態に維持して、送排気時の通風抵抗をより一層小さく抑えることができる。   Further, by making the inner opening end of the sound absorbing hole small in diameter, the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer can be made in a substantially smooth state with few irregularities, and the ventilation resistance at the time of air supply / exhaust can be kept small. Furthermore, by making the inner opening end of the sound absorption hole directly face the internal space, it is possible to reliably guide the noise propagating in the internal space to the gap, and stably maintain good sound absorption performance. Furthermore, by covering the inner opening end of the sound absorbing hole with a thin film having air permeability, the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer is maintained in a substantially smooth state with almost no unevenness, and the ventilation resistance during air supply and exhaust is further reduced. Can be suppressed.

また、内層の外周面側に、横片及び縦片を備えた補強芯材を巻き付けて、この補強芯材を介して内層の発泡樹脂材の端縁部同士を接合することで、内層を効果的に補強することができ、特に外圧による内層の押し潰れを抑制して、ホースの保形性を良好に維持することができる。   In addition, the reinforcing core material provided with the horizontal piece and the vertical piece is wound around the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer, and the edge portions of the foamed resin material of the inner layer are joined to each other through the reinforcing core material, so that the inner layer is effective. In particular, the inner layer can be prevented from being crushed by external pressure, and the shape retaining property of the hose can be maintained well.

しかも、補強芯材を設けて内層を補強しているにもかかわらず、補強芯材が通風の妨げにならない。さらには、内層の発泡樹脂材の端縁部同士がしっかりと接合されることで、ホースを湾曲させても、内層の発泡樹脂材の端縁部間が開くことがなく、内層に割れ目が生じ難くなっている。これにより、送排気時の通風抵抗を小さく抑えることができる。   Moreover, although the reinforcing core material is provided to reinforce the inner layer, the reinforcing core material does not hinder ventilation. Furthermore, the edges of the foam resin material of the inner layer are firmly joined to each other, so that even if the hose is bent, there is no opening between the edges of the foam resin material of the inner layer, and a crack occurs in the inner layer. It has become difficult. Thereby, the ventilation resistance at the time of air supply / exhaust can be suppressed small.

さらにまた、補強芯材の立ち上がり片によって、外層をホース径外方向に押し込んだり、補強芯材に取り付けた弾性スペーサーによって、外層をホース径外方向に押し込むことで、空隙部のホース径方向の高さを十分に確保して、空隙部を安定して形成することができる。しかも、弾性スペーサーを用いた場合には、ホースの可撓性の向上を図ることができる。   Furthermore, the outer layer is pushed outward in the hose diameter direction by the rising piece of the reinforcing core material, or the outer layer is pushed outward in the hose diameter direction by the elastic spacer attached to the reinforcing core material, so that the height of the gap portion in the hose radial direction is increased. The gap can be stably formed while ensuring sufficient thickness. In addition, when an elastic spacer is used, the flexibility of the hose can be improved.

また、内層の外周面側に、補助補強線材を巻き付けることで、ホースの保形性をより一層高めることができるとともに、外層における皺や弛みの発生を抑えて、空隙部を安定して形成することができる。   Moreover, by winding the auxiliary reinforcing wire around the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer, the shape retention of the hose can be further enhanced, and the generation of wrinkles and slack in the outer layer is suppressed, and the void portion is stably formed. be able to.

さらに、帯状の軟質樹脂シート材を螺旋状に巻回してなる外層を用いることで、空隙部に導いた騒音を効果的に減衰させて、吸音性能をより一層高めることができる。また、補強芯材と外層とを非接着状態とすることで、外層が補強芯材の形状に沿って密着するのを防止して、空隙部を安定して形成することができる。   Furthermore, by using an outer layer formed by spirally winding a band-shaped soft resin sheet material, it is possible to effectively attenuate noise guided to the gap and further enhance sound absorption performance. In addition, by setting the reinforcing core member and the outer layer in a non-adhered state, the outer layer can be prevented from adhering along the shape of the reinforcing core member, and the void portion can be stably formed.

(First embodiment)
The duct hose according to the first embodiment of the present invention is connected to an air supply / exhaust port of an air conditioner such as a house or a building, or connected to an air supply / exhaust port of a ventilator, and is used for air supply / exhaust to these air conditioning facilities. Used as

このダクトホースは、図1乃至3に示すように、厚肉筒状の発泡樹脂層からなる内層1の外周面側に、補強芯材2及び補助補強線材3・・を介して薄膜筒状の軟質樹脂層からなる外層4を積層することで、内層1の外周面と外層4の内周面との間に空隙部5が形成された構造となっていて、全体的に可撓性を有し、その内層1の内周面によって囲まれた内部空間6において気体(送排気用空気)を流通させるようになっている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this duct hose has a thin-film cylindrical shape on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1 made of a thick-walled cylindrical foamed resin layer via a reinforcing core member 2 and auxiliary reinforcing wire members 3. By laminating the outer layer 4 made of a soft resin layer, a gap portion 5 is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 4, and has flexibility as a whole. In addition, gas (air for supply and exhaust) is circulated in the internal space 6 surrounded by the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1.

内層1には、複数の断面略V字状の吸音孔10・・がホース軸方向及びホース周方向に適宜間隔をあけてホース径方向に貫通形成されている。これら吸音孔10・・は、内層1の内周面から外周面に向かうにつれて孔径が漸増しており、内層1の内周面に開口する小径の内側開口端10a・・が内部空間6に臨んでいて、内層1の外周面に開口する大径の外側開口端10b・・が空隙部5に臨んでいる。これにより、吸音孔10・・は、内部空間6及び空隙部5に連通した状態となっていて、換言すると、内部空間6と空隙部5とが吸音孔10・・を介して連通した状態となっていて、内部空間6内を伝搬する騒音は、吸音孔10・・を介して空隙部5へ導かれるようになっている。   The inner layer 1 is formed with a plurality of substantially V-shaped sound absorbing holes 10... Penetrating in the hose radial direction at appropriate intervals in the hose axial direction and the hose circumferential direction. These sound absorbing holes 10... Gradually increase in diameter from the inner peripheral surface to the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1, and a small-diameter inner opening end 10 a that opens to the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 faces the inner space 6. In this case, a large-diameter outer opening end 10 b that opens to the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 faces the gap portion 5. As a result, the sound absorbing holes 10 are communicated with the internal space 6 and the gap 5, in other words, the internal space 6 and the gap 5 are communicated with each other via the sound absorbing holes 10. The noise propagating in the internal space 6 is guided to the gap 5 through the sound absorption holes 10.

具体的に、吸音孔10・・における内側開口端10a・・の孔径は、0.1mm〜10.0mm(好ましくは0.5mm〜2.0mm)に設定されており、外側開口端10b・・の孔径は、内側開口端10a・・の孔径の2倍以上(好ましくは2.0mm〜10.0mm)に設定されている。このように、内部空間6に臨む内側開口端10a・・を小径とすることで、内層1の内周面を凹凸の少ない略平滑な状態に維持して、送排気時の通風抵抗を小さく抑えることができる。なお、吸音孔10・・の大きさや形状は、上記に限定されるものでない。   Specifically, the hole diameters of the inner opening ends 10a in the sound absorbing holes 10 are set to 0.1 mm to 10.0 mm (preferably 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm), and the outer opening ends 10b,. Is set to be twice or more (preferably 2.0 mm to 10.0 mm) of the hole diameter of the inner opening end 10a. As described above, by setting the inner opening end 10a.. be able to. Note that the size and shape of the sound absorbing holes 10 are not limited to the above.

この内層1は、吸音孔10・・を形成した例えば発泡ポリエチレン樹脂又は発泡ウレタン樹脂等からなる帯状の発泡樹脂材11を螺旋状に巻回して、その先行する発泡樹脂材11と後続する発泡樹脂材11の互いに隣接する端縁部同士を、それら端縁部に沿って螺旋状に巻回してなる補強芯材2を介して接合することによって構成されている。なお、発泡樹脂材6としては、連続気泡構造のものが用いられているが、独立気泡構造のものを用いるようにしても良い。   The inner layer 1 is formed by spirally winding a band-shaped foamed resin material 11 made of, for example, a foamed polyethylene resin or a foamed urethane resin having sound absorbing holes 10. It is comprised by joining the edge parts which adjoin each other of the material 11 via the reinforcement core material 2 formed by spirally winding along these edge parts. In addition, as the foamed resin material 6, an open cell structure is used, but a closed cell structure may be used.

補強芯材2は、図3に示すように、例えば硬質のポリプロピレン樹脂又はポリエチレン樹脂等からなる押し出し成形品であって、内層1における先行する発泡樹脂材11と後続する発泡樹脂材11の互いに隣接する端縁部の外周面間に跨る横片21と、この横片21の幅方向中央部からホース径内方向に延出して、上記の互いに隣接する端縁部間(具体的には、互いに対向する端面間)に入り込んだ縦片22と、横片21の幅方向中央部からホース径外方向に延出して、外層4をホース径外方向に押し込む立ち上がり片23とを備え、断面略十字状に形成されている。なお、縦片22のホース径方向の高さは、発泡樹脂材11の厚み(ホース径方向の高さ)と同等かそれより僅かに低くなっていて、発泡樹脂材11の端面との接着面積を十分に確保しながらも、内層1の内周面側には突出しないようになっている。また、補強芯材2と発泡樹脂材11とは、補強芯材2の押し出し成形時の溶融熱を利用した熱融着により接着されているが、接着剤を使用して接着するようにしても良い。   As shown in FIG. 3, the reinforcing core material 2 is an extrusion molded product made of, for example, hard polypropylene resin or polyethylene resin, and is adjacent to the preceding foamed resin material 11 and the succeeding foamed resin material 11 in the inner layer 1. The horizontal piece 21 straddling between the outer peripheral surfaces of the edge portions to be extended, and the hose radial inward direction extending from the widthwise center portion of the horizontal piece 21 to each other between the adjacent edge portions (specifically, each other) A vertical piece 22 entering between the opposite end faces) and a rising piece 23 extending outward from the central portion in the width direction of the horizontal piece 21 and pushing the outer layer 4 outward in the hose diameter direction. It is formed in a shape. The height of the vertical piece 22 in the hose radial direction is equal to or slightly lower than the thickness of the foamed resin material 11 (height in the hose radial direction), and the bonding area with the end surface of the foamed resin material 11 While ensuring sufficient, it does not protrude to the inner peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1. Further, the reinforcing core material 2 and the foamed resin material 11 are bonded by heat fusion using the heat of fusion at the time of extrusion molding of the reinforcing core material 2, but may be bonded using an adhesive. good.

また、内層1の外周面側には、発泡樹脂材11の幅方向中間部に沿って複数条(具体的には3条)の補助補強線材3・・が螺旋状に巻回されている。すなわち、内層1の外周面側において、補強芯材2及び補助補強線材3・・がホース軸方向に略等間隔をあけて螺旋状に巻回されている。   Further, on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1, a plurality of (specifically, three) auxiliary reinforcing wires 3... Are spirally wound along an intermediate portion in the width direction of the foamed resin material 11. That is, on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1, the reinforcing core member 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire members 3 are wound spirally at substantially equal intervals in the hose axial direction.

これら補助補強線材3・・は、補強芯材2と同様に、例えば硬質のポリプロピレン樹脂又はポリエチレン樹脂等からなる押し出し成形品であって、断面略円形に形成されている。なお、補助補強線材3・・のホース径外方向への張り出し量は、補強芯材2のホース径外方向への張り出し量よりも小さくなっている。また、補助補強線材3・・と発泡樹脂材11とは、補助補強線材3・・の押し出し成形時の溶融熱を利用した熱融着により接着されているが、接着剤を使用して接着するようにしても良い。   These auxiliary reinforcing wires 3... Are extrusion-molded products made of, for example, hard polypropylene resin or polyethylene resin, like the reinforcing core material 2, and have a substantially circular cross section. The amount of the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3... Protruding outward in the hose diameter direction is smaller than the amount of the reinforcing core member 2 protruding outward in the hose diameter direction. Further, the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3 ·· and the foamed resin material 11 are bonded by heat fusion using heat of fusion at the time of extrusion molding of the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3 ··, but are bonded using an adhesive. You may do it.

このように、内層1の外周面側に補強芯材2及び補助補強線材3・・を巻き付けることで、内層1を効果的に補強して、特に外圧に対して補強芯材2や補助補強線材3・・が積極的に抵抗して、内層1の押し潰れを抑制することができるようになっている。しかも、内部空間6に面する内層1の内周面側には、補強芯材2や補助補強線材3・・が存在しないことから、これらが通風の妨げとなることはない。さらに、補強芯材2の横片21が発泡樹脂材11の端縁部の外周面間に跨って接着され、縦片22が発泡樹脂材11の端面間に挟まれた状態で接着されていることから、内層1において発泡樹脂材11の端縁部同士がしっかりと接合されて、ダクトホースを湾曲させても、内層1の発泡樹脂材11の端縁部間が開くことがなく、内層1に割れ目が生じ難くなっている。   Thus, the inner core 1 is effectively reinforced by wrapping the reinforcing core 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3... Around the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1, and particularly the reinforcing core 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire against the external pressure. 3.. Positively resists the inner layer 1 from being crushed. In addition, since the reinforcing core member 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3... Do not exist on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1 facing the inner space 6, these do not hinder ventilation. Further, the horizontal piece 21 of the reinforcing core material 2 is bonded across the outer peripheral surface of the edge portion of the foamed resin material 11, and the vertical piece 22 is bonded in a state of being sandwiched between the end surfaces of the foamed resin material 11. Therefore, even if the edge portions of the foamed resin material 11 are firmly joined to each other in the inner layer 1 and the duct hose is bent, the inner layer 1 does not open between the edge portions of the foamed resin material 11 of the inner layer 1. Cracks are less likely to occur.

外層4は、例えば軟質のポリオレフィン系のエラストマー樹脂からなる通気性を有しない帯状の軟質樹脂シート材40を螺旋状に巻回して、その先行する軟質樹脂シート材40と後続する軟質樹脂シート材40の互いに隣接する端縁部同士を重ね合わせて、熱融着又は接着テープを使用して接着することによって構成されている。   The outer layer 4 is formed by, for example, winding a non-breathable strip-shaped soft resin sheet material 40 made of a soft polyolefin-based elastomer resin into a spiral shape, followed by the preceding soft resin sheet material 40 and the subsequent soft resin sheet material 40. The edge portions adjacent to each other are overlapped and bonded using heat fusion or an adhesive tape.

この外層4の内周面には、補強芯材2の立ち上がり片23及び補助補強線材3・・が押し付けられていて、これにより外層4は、皺や弛みが生じ難い張設状態となって、内層1の外周面と外層4の内周面との間に、ホース径方向の高さを十分に確保した空隙部5が安定して形成されている。また、外層4における軟質樹脂シート材40の互いに隣接する端縁部同士の接合部分41は、補強芯材2の直上を避けるように配置され、補助補強線材3に対して図示しない接着テープを介して接着されている。すなわち、外層4は、補強芯材2とは非接着状態となっていて、補助補強線材3に接着されている。これにより、例えば図4に示すように、外層4が補強芯材2の立ち上がり片23の形状に沿うように密着して、空隙部5を狭めてしまうといった不具合をなくしている。   On the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 4, the rising piece 23 of the reinforcing core member 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3 are pressed, so that the outer layer 4 is in a tensioned state in which wrinkles and slack hardly occur. Between the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 4, a gap portion 5 having a sufficiently high height in the hose radial direction is stably formed. Moreover, the joining part 41 of the edge parts which adjoin each other of the soft resin sheet material 40 in the outer layer 4 is arrange | positioned so that the upper part of the reinforcement core material 2 may be avoided, and via the adhesive tape which is not shown in figure with respect to the auxiliary reinforcement wire 3. Are glued together. That is, the outer layer 4 is not bonded to the reinforcing core material 2 and is bonded to the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer layer 4 is brought into close contact with the shape of the rising piece 23 of the reinforcing core member 2, thereby eliminating the problem of narrowing the gap 5.

上記構成のダクトホースは、以下のようにして製造される。まず、複数の吸音孔10・・を形成した帯状の発泡樹脂材11をマンドレル上に螺旋状に巻回する。続いて、押出機により押し出した補強芯材2を、先行する発泡樹脂材11と後続する発泡樹脂材11の互いに隣接する端縁部に沿って螺旋状に巻回して、その縦片22を互いに隣接する端縁部間に入り込ませながら、横片21を互いに隣接する端縁部の外周面間に跨らせた状態で、補強芯材2の押し出し成形時の溶融熱を利用して、補強芯材2と発泡樹脂材11とを熱融着により一体化する。また、これと同時に、押出機により押し出した補助補強線材3・・を、発泡樹脂材11の中間部の外周面に沿って螺旋状に巻回して、補助補強線材3・・の押し出し成形時の溶融熱を利用して、補助補強線材3・・と発泡樹脂材11とを熱融着により一体化する。これにより、補強芯材2及び補助補強線材3・・が外周面側に巻き付けられた内層1が形成される。   The duct hose having the above configuration is manufactured as follows. First, a strip-shaped foamed resin material 11 having a plurality of sound absorbing holes 10... Is spirally wound on a mandrel. Subsequently, the reinforcing core material 2 extruded by the extruder is spirally wound along the adjacent edge portions of the preceding foamed resin material 11 and the succeeding foamed resin material 11, and the vertical pieces 22 are mutually connected. Reinforcement using the heat of fusion at the time of extrusion of the reinforcing core member 2 with the horizontal piece 21 straddling between the outer peripheral surfaces of the adjacent edge portions while entering between the adjacent edge portions. The core material 2 and the foamed resin material 11 are integrated by heat fusion. At the same time, the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3 ·· extruded by the extruder is spirally wound along the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate portion of the foamed resin material 11 so that the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3 ·· is extruded. The auxiliary reinforcing wire 3... And the foamed resin material 11 are integrated by heat fusion using the heat of fusion. Thereby, the inner layer 1 in which the reinforcing core member 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire members 3 are wound around the outer peripheral surface side is formed.

そして、この内層1の外周面側において、帯状の軟質樹脂シート材40を螺旋状に巻回して、その先行する軟質樹脂シート材40と後続する軟質樹脂シート材40の互いに隣接する端縁部同士を重ね合わせて、熱融着又は接着テープを使用して接着することで、外層4を形成する。これにより、内層1と外層4との間に補強芯材2及び補助補強線材3・・が介在して、内層1の外周面と外層4の内周面との間に、螺旋状に連続する空隙部5が確保されたダクトホースが製造される。   Then, on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1, the strip-shaped soft resin sheet material 40 is spirally wound, and adjacent edge portions of the preceding soft resin sheet material 40 and the following soft resin sheet material 40 are mutually adjacent. And the outer layer 4 is formed by bonding using heat fusion or an adhesive tape. Thereby, the reinforcing core member 2 and the auxiliary reinforcing wire 3... Are interposed between the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 4, and are continuous spirally between the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 4. A duct hose in which the gap 5 is secured is manufactured.

上記のダクトホースを空調設備の送排気用として使用した場合、送風機で発生した騒音がダクトホース内に侵入すると、この騒音は、内部空間6内を伝搬する間に、内層(発泡樹脂層)1の内周面に衝突して減衰されるとともに、この内周面の微細孔を通じて内層1の内部へ導かれて減衰される。また、内部空間6内を伝搬する騒音は、内部空間6に臨んだ内側開口端10a・・から吸音孔10・・内に入射して、吸音孔10・・の孔壁面に衝突して減衰されるとともに、この孔壁面の微細孔を通じて内層1の内部へ導かれて減衰される。さらに、吸音孔10・・内に入射した騒音は、空隙部5に臨んだ外側開口端10b・・から空隙部5内に入射して、内層(発泡樹脂層)1の外周面及び柔軟な外層(軟質樹脂層)4の内周面に衝突して減衰されるとともに、内層1の外周面の微細孔を通じて内層1の内部へ導かれて減衰される。さらにまた、内層1の吸音孔10・・が開口部、空隙部5が空洞部をそれぞれ構成して、ヘルムホルツ型共鳴器と同様な機能を発揮することも想定される。この場合、騒音が吸音孔10・・に入射すると、吸音孔10・・内の空気が激しく振動して、吸音孔10・・内の空気と吸音孔10・・の孔壁面との摩擦によって音エネルギーが熱エネルギーに変換されて、騒音が減衰されることになる。これらのことから、ダクトホース内に侵入した騒音は、ダクトホースの室内側開口部に行き着くまでに消音される。   When the above duct hose is used for air supply / exhaust of an air conditioner, if noise generated in the blower enters the duct hose, this noise is propagated through the inner space 6 while the inner layer (foamed resin layer) 1 It is attenuated by colliding with the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 and is attenuated by being guided to the inside of the inner layer 1 through the fine holes on the inner peripheral surface. Further, the noise propagating in the internal space 6 enters the sound absorbing hole 10 through the inner opening end 10a facing the internal space 6 and is attenuated by colliding with the hole wall surface of the sound absorbing hole 10. At the same time, it is led to the inside of the inner layer 1 through the fine holes on the wall surface of the hole and is attenuated. Further, the noise that has entered the sound absorbing holes 10... Enters the gap 5 from the outer opening end 10 b facing the gap 5, and the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer (foamed resin layer) 1 and the flexible outer layer The soft resin layer 4 is damped by colliding with the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 4, and is also attenuated by being guided into the inner layer 1 through the fine holes on the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1. Furthermore, it is assumed that the sound absorbing holes 10... Of the inner layer 1 constitute openings and the gap 5 constitutes a cavity, respectively, and exhibit the same function as the Helmholtz resonator. In this case, when noise is incident on the sound absorption holes 10..., The air in the sound absorption holes 10... Vibrates violently, and the sound is generated by friction between the air in the sound absorption holes 10 and the hole wall surface of the sound absorption holes 10. Energy is converted into thermal energy, and noise is attenuated. For these reasons, noise that has entered the duct hose is silenced before reaching the indoor opening of the duct hose.

このように、上記のダクトホースにおいては、内層1に複数の吸音孔10・・を形成するとともに、内層1と外層4との間に空隙部5を形成して、内部空間6内を伝搬する騒音を、吸音孔10・・を介して空隙部5へ導くことができるようになっているので、内層1の外周面や外層4の内周面にも騒音を衝突させて減衰させることができ、簡単な構造でありながらも、吸音性能を格段に向上することができる。   As described above, in the duct hose described above, a plurality of sound absorbing holes 10... Are formed in the inner layer 1, and the gap portion 5 is formed between the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 4 to propagate through the inner space 6. Since the noise can be guided to the gap portion 5 through the sound absorbing holes 10..., The noise can collide with the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 4 to be attenuated. The sound absorption performance can be remarkably improved while having a simple structure.

しかも、内層1における吸音孔10・・は、少なくとも内部空間6と空隙部5とを連通させるだけで良く、個数を少なくしたり、大きさを小さくしても、良好な吸音性能を得ることができることから、内層1の強度低下を抑えて、ホースの保形性を良好に維持することができる。加えて、内層1と外層4との間の空隙部5によって空気層が形成されて、空気断熱効果が得られることから、ホースの断熱性能の向上も図ることができる。   Moreover, the sound absorbing holes 10... In the inner layer 1 need only communicate at least the internal space 6 and the gap 5, and can obtain good sound absorbing performance even if the number is reduced or the size is reduced. Since it can do, the strength reduction of the inner layer 1 can be suppressed and the shape retention property of a hose can be maintained favorable. In addition, since an air layer is formed by the gap 5 between the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 4 and an air heat insulating effect is obtained, the heat insulating performance of the hose can be improved.

図5は、第1実施形態に係るダクトホースの変形例を示しており、内層1における複数の吸音孔10・・の内側開口端10a・・が、内層1の内面側の一部である通気性を有する薄膜1a・・によって覆われていて、複数の吸音孔10・・が薄膜1a・・の通気孔を介して内部空間6に連通されている。すなわち、吸音孔10・・は、内層1をホース径方向に貫通しておらず、内層1の内周面側に薄膜1a・・を残すようにして形成されている。   FIG. 5 shows a modification of the duct hose according to the first embodiment, in which the inner opening ends 10 a of the plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 in the inner layer 1 are part of the inner surface side of the inner layer 1. A plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 are communicated with the internal space 6 through the ventilation holes of the thin film 1a. That is, the sound absorbing holes 10 are formed so as not to penetrate the inner layer 1 in the hose radial direction and leave the thin film 1a on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1.

これにより、内層1の内周面を凹凸のほとんどない略平滑な状態に維持して、送排気時の通風抵抗をより一層小さく抑えることができる。なお、通気性を有する薄膜としては、内層1に貫通形成した複数の吸音孔10・・の内側開口端10a・・を覆うようにして、内層1の内周面に沿って筒状に張り合わせた不織布や織布等であっても良い。   Thereby, the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 can be maintained in a substantially smooth state with almost no unevenness, and the ventilation resistance at the time of air supply and exhaust can be further reduced. In addition, as the thin film having air permeability, the inner opening ends 10a of the plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 formed through the inner layer 1 are covered so as to cover the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 in a cylindrical shape. It may be a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric.

(第2実施形態)
この発明の第2実施形態に係るダクトホースは、図6乃至8に示すように、補強芯材2が、横片21と縦片22とを備えた断面略T字状に形成されていて、この補強芯材2の横片21の外周面に、外層4をホース径外方向に押し込む弾性スペーサー50が取り付けられている。
(Second Embodiment)
In the duct hose according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the reinforcing core member 2 is formed in a substantially T-shaped cross section including a horizontal piece 21 and a vertical piece 22. An elastic spacer 50 that pushes the outer layer 4 outward in the hose diameter direction is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the horizontal piece 21 of the reinforcing core member 2.

弾性スペーサー50は、例えば発泡ポリエチレン樹脂等からなり、補強芯材2の横片21よりも幅広で、且つ、厚さ3mm程度の断面略長方形状に形成されていて、横片21を覆い隠すようにして、横片21の外周面に沿って螺旋状に巻回されている。なお、外層4における軟質樹脂シート材40の互いに隣接する端縁部同士の接合部分41は、弾性スペーサー50の直上に配置されており、弾性スペーサー50に対して図示しない接着テープを介して接着されている。   The elastic spacer 50 is made of, for example, foamed polyethylene resin or the like, is wider than the horizontal piece 21 of the reinforcing core 2 and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape with a thickness of about 3 mm so as to cover the horizontal piece 21. Thus, it is spirally wound along the outer peripheral surface of the horizontal piece 21. In addition, the joining part 41 of the edge parts which adjoin each other of the soft resin sheet material 40 in the outer layer 4 is arrange | positioned directly on the elastic spacer 50, and is adhere | attached with the adhesive tape which is not shown in figure with respect to the elastic spacer 50. ing.

このように、補強芯材2の立ち上がり片23に代えて、幅広の弾性スペーサー50によって外層4をホース径外方向に押し込むことで、内層1の外周面と外層4の内周面との間に、ホース径方向の高さを十分に確保した空隙部5をより確実に形成することができ、吸音性能及び断熱性能のより一層の向上を図ることができる。しかも、ホースの可撓性も向上させることができる。なお、その他の構成及び作用効果は、第1実施形態と同様であり、図6乃至8において第1実施形態と同様の機能を有する部材については同符号を付してある。   Thus, instead of the rising piece 23 of the reinforcing core material 2, the outer layer 4 is pushed in the hose diameter outward direction by the wide elastic spacer 50, so that the inner layer 1 is interposed between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 4. In addition, it is possible to more reliably form the gap 5 in which the height in the hose radial direction is sufficiently secured, and to further improve the sound absorption performance and the heat insulation performance. In addition, the flexibility of the hose can be improved. Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, and members having the same functions as those of the first embodiment in FIGS. 6 to 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

図9は、第2実施形態に係るダクトホースの変形例を示しており、内層1における複数の吸音孔10・・の内側開口端10a・・が、内層1の内面側の一部である通気性を有する薄膜1a・・によって覆われていて、複数の吸音孔10・・が薄膜1a・・の通気孔を介して内部空間6に連通されている。すなわち、吸音孔10・・は、内層1をホース径方向に貫通しておらず、内層1の内周面側に薄膜1a・・を残すようにして形成されている。   FIG. 9 shows a modification of the duct hose according to the second embodiment, in which the inner opening ends 10a of the plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 in the inner layer 1 are part of the inner surface side of the inner layer 1. A plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 are communicated with the internal space 6 through the ventilation holes of the thin film 1a. That is, the sound absorbing holes 10 are formed so as not to penetrate the inner layer 1 in the hose radial direction and leave the thin film 1a on the inner peripheral surface side of the inner layer 1.

これにより、内層1の内周面を凹凸のほとんどない略平滑な状態に維持して、送排気時の通風抵抗をより一層小さく抑えることができる。なお、通気性を有する薄膜としては、内層1に貫通形成した複数の吸音孔10・・の内側開口端10a・・を覆うようにして、内層1の内周面に沿って筒状に張り合わせた不織布や織布等であっても良い。   Thereby, the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 can be maintained in a substantially smooth state with almost no unevenness, and the ventilation resistance at the time of air supply and exhaust can be further reduced. In addition, as the thin film having air permeability, the inner opening ends 10a of the plurality of sound absorbing holes 10 formed through the inner layer 1 are covered so as to cover the inner peripheral surface of the inner layer 1 in a cylindrical shape. It may be a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric.

以上にこの発明の具体的な実施の形態について説明したが、この発明は上記形態に限定されるものではなく、この発明の範囲内で種々変更して実施することができる。例えば、図10又は図11に示すように、吸音孔の形状や大きさを適宜異ならせて、異なる周波数帯域の騒音を幅広く消音しても良い。また、内層と外層との間に補強芯材を介在させるだけで空隙部を確保することができるのであれば、補助補強線材を廃止しても良い。さらに、上記実施形態においては、断面略十字状の補強芯材や弾性スペーサー付きの断面略T字状の補強芯材を用いているが、空隙部を確保することができるのであれば、図12に示すように、立ち上がり片や弾性スペーサーを備えていない単なる断面略T字状の補強芯材を用いるようにしても良く、或いは、それ以外の形状の補強芯材を用いるようにしても良い。   Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11, the shape and size of the sound absorption holes may be appropriately changed to widely mute noises in different frequency bands. In addition, the auxiliary reinforcing wire may be eliminated as long as the void portion can be secured only by interposing the reinforcing core material between the inner layer and the outer layer. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a reinforcing core material having a substantially cross-shaped cross section or a reinforcing core material having a substantially T-shaped cross section with an elastic spacer is used. However, if a gap can be secured, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, a reinforcing core material having a simple T-shaped cross section that does not include a rising piece or an elastic spacer may be used, or a reinforcing core material having other shapes may be used.
