Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an acoustic baffle device for sealing a cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity.
  • drain tubes may be introduced in said cavities additionally, in order to remove and dispose the rain water accumulated around the sun roof. If, however, such an introduction of drain tubes is possible, this step usually damages the baffle, tending thereby to affect or even destroy at least partially its acoustic dampening effect.
  • baffle arrangements corresponding to the state of the art, a possible solution for that problem is to include preconstructed gaps, slits or holes in the baffle, capable of and suitable for being opened by any subsequent mechanical touch.
  • an acoustic baffle system avoiding such disadvantages according to the state of the art, i.e., a device that makes possible the passage of a drain tube (or any other device, electric cables, etc. . . . ) in cavities, preferably pillar cavities of cars after the expansion of sealing material and that furthermore guarantees the unrestricted acoustic performance profile of the baffle when no such tube or similar device is introduced in this pillar.
  • This problem is solved by the technical teaching of the present invention, providing an acoustic baffle device being equipped with a flap assembly that makes possible the passage of a drain tube (or any other, similar device; electric cables, etc. . . .
  • the flap remains in closed position, even when being affected by a flow during any vehicle body treatment step or post manufacturing treatment stages.
  • an acoustic baffle device for sealing a pillar cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity.
  • the device comprises a piece of sealing material being preferably heat expandable, which sealing material is formed in a shape corresponding to but being smaller than the shape of the cross section of the cavity.
  • the sealing material has preferably an activation temperature corresponding to expansion temperature of the material.
  • a support element can be provided beneath or around or in the piece of sealing material for supporting it.
  • the acoustic baffle device is equipped with a “flap assembly”, which is preferably secured to the support or co-injected with it.
  • This flap assembly includes a lower neck defining a passage for a drain tube (or any other, similar device) that may be introduced in a pillar.
  • the lower neck has a flap positioned preferably at its end and being secured in closed position by a flexible locking means, preferably a hook.
  • the flap is connected to the lower neck preferably in the area of the lower end of the neck through means that permit the opening and the passage of a tube, preferably by means of a hinge.
  • the flap assembly may preferably also include an upper neck that guides the introduction of drain tube and makes possible the introduction from a larger distance.
  • the present invention provides an acoustic baffle device for sealing a cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity, comprising a piece of sealing material that is formed in a shape corresponding to but being smaller than the shape of the cross section of the cavity.
  • the acoustic baffle device of the invention is characterized in having a flap assembly having a lower neck defining a passage for a flexible tube or a similar device, said lower neck having a flap secured in closed position by a locking device and being connected to preferably the lower end of the lower neck through means that permit the reversible opening of the above-defined passage.
  • the sealing material is heat expandable.
  • the sealing material has an activation temperature corresponding to the expansion of said material, most preferably in the range of between 130° C. and 210° C.
  • the sealing material is heat expandable, foaming polyethylene and/or Ethyl-Vinylacetat-Copolymer (EVA).
  • the acoustic baffle device is equipped with a support element provided beneath or around or in the piece of sealing material for supporting the same.
  • the support element is based on any heat resistant type of common plastic, preferably polyamide, most preferably polyamide 6, polyamide 6,6, polyamide 11, polyamide 12 or a mixture of themselves.
  • heat resistant means here that the material is completely resistant towards a temperature in the range of between 130° C. to 210° C.
  • the flap assembly is secured to the support element or co-injected with it, and the lower neck is positioned at the end of the flap assembly.
  • the locking device securing the flap in closed position is preferably a flexible hook, and the means connecting the flap to preferably the end of the lower neck is preferably a hinge. The flexion of the locking device and opening of the flap is activated by the pressure of the tube between the wall of the lower neck and the locking device itself when the tube is introduced in the assembly.
  • the flap assembly also has an upper neck that guides the introduction of a drain tube or any similar device from a larger distance, most preferably without any additional, manual operation.
  • a flap assembly useful for an acoustic baffle device for sealing a cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity having a lower neck defining a passage for a flexible tube or a similar device, said lower neck having a flap secured in closed position by a locking device and being connected to the lower neck, preferably in the range of its lower end through means that permit the reversible opening of the above-defined passage.
  • the flap assembly is secured to the support element of an acoustic baffle device or co-injected with it, and preferably the lower neck is positioned at the end of the flap assembly.
  • the locking device securing the flap in closed position is a flexible hook
  • the means connecting the flap to the lower end of the neck is preferably a hinge.
  • said flap assembly also has an upper neck that guides the introduction of a drain tube or a similar device from a larger distance, more preferably without any additional, manual operation.
  • the flap assembly is manufactured by an injection moulding process, more preferably it is manufactured in the form of one single, moulded piece.
  • the flap assembly is based on any heat resistant type of common plastic, preferably polyamide, most preferably polyamide 6, polyamide 6,6, polyamide 11, polyamide 12 or a mixture of themselves.
  • a process for sealing a cavity of a vehicle body at a predetermined cross section of the cavity while permitting the reversible opening of a passage for a flexible drain tube or a similar device comprising a step of introducing an acoustic baffle device as described above in at least one of the cavities, preferably pillar cavities of a vehicle body.
  • the flap assembly as described above is secured to the support element of the above-described acoustic baffle device or co-injected with it.
  • the above-described flap assembly of the invention may be used in one of the stages of a process as described in above section.
  • drain tubes may be assembled in any vehicles, preferably such vehicles being equipped with a sun roof. Drain tubes preferably could be assembled during the so called “body in white step” of baffle assembling (i.e., before expansion of sealing material) or during the assembly as such (i.e., after expansion of sealing material).
  • the angle between the axis of the acoustic baffle device (and also the flat assembly, consequently), on the one hand, and the axis of the cavity, on the other hand can be defined easily by analysing the introduction path of the drain tube.
  • the flap assembly of the invention is made of one single moulded piece and can be furthermore designed to be injected without any mobile parts in the mould.
  • the expandable sealing material can be overmoulded (dual moulding).
