Definitions

  • Sound-absorbing unit with partition plates which divide the air layer between a sound-absorbing material and a base plate into a plurality of lattice ‘cells’, is known, as disclosed in JP,11-161282,A.
  • the height of the air layer in the sound wave incident direction is set to one-fourth of the wavelength of a target sound. This enables the energy of the sound wave to be absorbed efficiently.
  • a sound absorbing coefficient for a particular frequency component is improved, and it becomes possible to reduce the weight of the sound-absorbing unit while maintaining its high sound absorbing coefficient.
  • sound-absorbing unit is positioned such that it surrounds the sound source.
  • the variety of incident directions becomes wide.
  • the variety of the traveling directions of sound waves is quite wide because the reflections of the sound waves occur repeatedly. For this reason, in order to improve its overall sound-absorbing performance, sound-absorbing unit is required to achieve a good sound-absorbing performance for the sound waves with a variety of incident directions.
  • sound-absorbing unit is required to have a structure or performance suitable for its installation place.
  • the sound-absorbing unit should have a sound-absorbing configuration on its inner side suitable for absorbing the grating noise in the cabin, while it should have a sound-insulating configuration on its outer side suitable for insulating the noise transmitted into the cabin from outside.
  • sound-absorbing unit additionally serves as an interior component, it is required to have sufficient strength and durability as an interior component.
  • the above-mentioned conventional sound-absorbing unit has defects in terms of sound-insulating characteristics.
  • sound waves are likely to be transmitted into the cabin from outside because the partition plates that define cells don't have a function of blocking the sound waves passing through the cells.
  • a sound-absorbing structure comprising: a substantially flat support base; a substantially flat sound-absorbing material arranged substantially parallel to the support base; and a corrugated partition plate interposed between the support base and the sound-absorbing material, the corrugated partition plate having upper antinode portions opposed to the sound-absorbing material and lower antinode portions opposed to the support base; wherein the lower antinode portions of the corrugated partition plate are at least partially separated from the support base.
  • the corrugated partition plate between the sound-absorbing material and the support base is provided the corrugated partition plate.
  • the sound waves coming from the support base's side lose a large amount of energy thereof when they pass through the corrugated partition plate.
  • the vibration of the support base cannot be transmitted to the corrugated partition plate directly.
  • the lower antinode portions of the corrugated partition plate may be supported via an elastic element. This effectively lessens the transmission of the vibration of the support base to the corrugated partition plate. Additionally, the lower antinode portions of the corrugated partition plate may be supported by low-vibration portions of the support base, such as reinforced portions with strengthening ribs and the like. This also lessens the transmission of the vibration from the support base to the corrugated partition plate. As a result, it becomes possible to improve the sound-insulating effect of the sound-absorbing structure without interposing a conventional acoustic insulating material with high-destiny/thickness/weight between the corrugated partition plate and the support base.
  • a sound-absorbing unit comprising: a corrugated partition plate having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side; a substantially flat sound-absorbing material provided on the first side of the corrugated partition plate; and at least one second partition plate configured to partition air spaces defined between the sound-absorbing material and the corrugated partition plate.
  • the second partition plate partitions the air spaces that extend in a first direction, in which antinode portions of the corrugated partition plate extend, between the corrugated partition plate and the sound-absorbing material.
  • the second partition plate may extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction in which antinode portions of the corrugated partition plate extend.
  • sound-absorbing materials may be provided respectively on both sides of the corrugated partition plate. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to absorb the sound waves incoming from various directions on both sides of the sound-absorbing unit and to further improve the overall sound-absorbing effect of the sound-absorbing unit.
  • the second partition plate may be configured to partition the air portions only on the first side of the corrugated partition plate.
  • the corrugated partition plate may include a wave pattern whose phase and/or amplitude is varied at a boundary between the corrugated partition plate and the second partition plate. This arrangement allows the sound-absorbing unit to deliver the sound-absorbing performance over a wide frequency band and increases an out-plane rigidity and thus durability of the second partition plate.
  • the corrugated partition plate may include a sine wave pattern and/or a rectangular wave pattern.
  • the corrugated partition plate with a sine wave pattern among others has high stiffness and thus leads to improvement in the sound-insulating effect. Furthermore, with the corrugated partition plate with sine wave pattern among others, the entry of the sound waves into the air spaces can be promoted effectively since the acoustic impedance changes gradually.
  • the corrugated partition plate may include wave patterns with different frequencies and/or different amplitudes. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to gain a sound-absorbing effect over a wide frequency band and optimize the sound-absorbing effect according to the characteristics of the sound field in the vicinity of the sound-absorbing unit.
  • a sound-absorbing unit includes a partition plate having recesses; and a sound-absorbing material which covers air portions defined inside the recesses.
  • the partition plate having recesses can be formed from a sheet material. This leads to a reduction in parts count for the sound-absorbing unit and increases productivity for manufacturing the sound-absorbing unit while maintaining the above-mentioned high sound-absorbing/insulating effect. Further, this arrangement can limit the entry angle of the sound waves in a slanting direction with respect to the sound-absorbing unit. As a result, the sound waves incident from various directions can be absorbed efficiently and the sound absorbing effect is not distributed over a wide frequency range other than the target frequency range.
  • each recess may have a cross-sectional area that gradually varies with the depth of the recess.
  • a partition plate with such recesses has a high stiffness against loads applied from various directions. This arrangement leads to improvement in the sound-insulating effect of the partition plate as well as in the durability of the sound-absorbing unit. Furthermore, since the acoustic impedance changes gradually inside the recesses, the entry of the sound waves into the recesses can be promoted effectively.
  • the thickness of air portions behind the sound-absorbing material may be set to odd multiples of one-fourth of the wavelength of sound waves of target frequencies.

  • FIGS. 1A-1C are conceptual renderings for illustrating a state of sound waves incident on a sound-absorbing material 30 from above, with an air layer 32 being between a support base 34 and the sound-absorbing material 30 .
  • standing-waves are formed by a combination of incident waves and reflected waves.
  • the standing-waves have antinodes at the points that are separated from the support base 34 by distances of odd multiples of one-fourth of the wavelength ⁇ .
  • the particle velocity of sound waves becomes its maximum at the antinodes.
  • the sound-absorbing material 30 is located at the point where the particle velocity of sound waves becomes a maximum, the sound-absorbing efficiency will be maximized because the sound waves pass through the sound-absorbing material 30 at their highest energy level.
  • the sound absorbing effect will be distributed over a wide frequency range other than the target frequency range, resulting in a decrease in the overall sound absorbing capability.
  • the sound absorbing effect is distributed over wide frequency range and the sound pressure level is reduced universally over the wide frequency range, the sensory effect as perceived by a human cannot be improved.
  • One approach to solve this problem is to divide the air layer 32 into a plurality of cells by placing partition plates 36 that limit the incidence of sound waves in slanting directions, as shown in FIG. 1C .
  • the distance W 1 defines the range of incident angles of sound waves that can enter into cells.

  • the partition plate 52 has a wave-shaped cross-section with the upper and lower antinode portions 52 a , 52 b , respectively, extending substantially in parallel with each other in a constant direction.
  • the corrugated partition plate 52 is made of stamped aluminum plate in terms of weight reduction, it can be made of hard resin such as polypropylene-based resin or steel, etc.
  • the pitch W 1 between the neighboring upper antinode portions 52 a may be determined, based on the above-mentioned principle, considering the target frequency band and the characteristics of the sound field around the sound-absorbing unit 50 . It is noted that each of the antinode portions 52 a , 52 b of the corrugated partition plate 52 don't necessarily extend in parallel spaced at regular intervals, and don't necessarily extend linearly. For example, the antinode portions 52 a , 52 b may be curved. Accordingly, the pitches W 1 may be set differently between every two neighboring antinode portions 52 a , 52 b , and/or the pitch W 1 may be varied along the direction of the antinode portions 52 a , 52 b.
  • the sound-absorbing material 51 is made of processed metal fiber such as aluminum fiber or mineral fiber such as glass wool and rock wool, etc.
  • sound-absorbing material 51 can be made of synthetic resin foam such as polystyrene-based resin and polyethylene-based resin, etc., or flexible material such as urethane and rubber, or porous material.

  • the first air layers 70 are defined between the sound-absorbing material 51 and the corrugated partition plate 52
  • the second air layers 75 are defined between the support base 80 and the corrugated partition plate 52
  • the corrugated partition plate 52 is provided such that it divides the air layer between the support base 80 and the sound-absorbing material 51 into the first air layers 70 on the side of the sound-absorbing material 51 and the second air layers 75 on the side of the support base 80 .
  • the above-mentioned standing-waves are formed inside the first and second air layers 70 , 75 , respectively, when the sound waves enter from both sides of the sound-absorbing unit 50 .
  • the sound-absorbing unit 50 may attach the sound-absorbing material 51 to the corrugated partition plate 52 by means of an adhesive or screws, etc., and then place this combination on the support base 80 .

  • the thickness D (depth) of the first air layer 70 is set to be one-fourth of the wavelength ⁇ of the target sound waves that should be absorbed according to the above-mentioned principle (see FIGS. 1A and 1C ). This enables the sound waves entering from the sound-absorbing material's side to be absorbed efficiently, because the sound waves pass through the sound-absorbing material 51 at maximum particle velocity.
  • the thickness D may be set differently for every first air layer 70 , and/or it may be varied along the direction of the antinode portions 52 a , 52 b .

Therefore, the first air layers 70 are defined substantially by all the area behind the sound-absorbing material 51 . This enables the sound-absorbing material 51 to exert the high sound-absorbing effect substantially all over its surface area. It is noted that the neighboring first air layers 70 are not necessarily isolated from each other, so some first air layers 70 may be in communication with their neighboring first air layers 70 . In other words, even if the sound-absorbing material 51 doesn't contact the upper antinode portions 52 a of the corrugated partition plate 52 and there is a certain clearance between them, the sound-absorbing material 51 can exert the high sound-absorbing effect substantially all over the surface area thereof.

That is, the external noise incoming from behind of the sound-absorbing unit 50 lose a significant part of their energy at the time of transmitting through the corrugated partition plate 52 before reaching the sound-absorbing material 51 . Furthermore, the corrugated partition plate 52 has a high stiffness due to its corrugated cross-section. This means that sound transmission loss is large and the intensity level of a sound will be reduced significantly at the time of the transmission through the corrugated partition plate 52 .

  • two second partition plates 53 are shown in FIG. 6B , however, the present invention is not limited to this number.
  • the number of the second partition plates 53 may be determined according to the overall size of the sound-absorbing unit 60 .

  • the sound-absorbing unit 60 of this variant is suitable when it is required to offer the high sound-absorbing performance only on its one side.
  • the second partition plates 53 may partition only a part of the air layer (in this example shown in FIG. 8A , only the upper part of first air layer 70 is partitioned). Further, it is also possible to tune the sound-absorbing/insulating capabilities by a combination with the second partition plates 53 as shown in FIG. 8B , considering noise levels on both sides of the sound-absorbing unit 60 .

  • the partition plate 54 is made of aluminum plate, etc. which has a plurality of recesses 54 d .
  • the partition plate 54 is provided with a sound-absorbing material 51 , as in the aforementioned embodiments.

  • the entry of the sound waves into the recesses 54 d can be promoted effectively because the cross-sectional area of the recess 54 d changes gradually along the direction Z and thus the acoustic impedance changes gradually inside the recesses 54 d .
  • the partition plate 54 has a high rigidity against loads in every direction by virtue of the shape of the recesses 54 d .
