Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to a noise isolation sheet which is used, for example, as a sheet installed to an interior side of an automobile door.
  • There have conventionally been applied various noise isolation means to an inner side of an automobile door with an aim of preventing external noise from invading into an interior of the automobile as well as preventing internal noise from leaking to an outside. For example, there have been invented such means that a felt or urethane is attached to a backside of an interior door trim which is installed to an interior side of a door inner panel, and that an urethane made product is attached to a door inner panel.
  • Regarding to the prior art described above, the applicant of this invention has invented a noise isolation sheet and filed it (Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-020415) in order to improve a noise isolation property of the conventional noise isolation means. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the noise isolation sheet comprises a foam body (a closed-cell foamed layer 11) which is provided with an infinite number of closed cells 11 a interspersed therein, and another foam body (an open-cell foamed layer 12) which is provided with open cells 12 a interspersed therein.
  • Further, there has been invented a sound-absorbing material for absorbing noise generated by the aspiration of the air in a combustion engine (see, for example Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-146967 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 2503215.)
  • However, although the noise isolation sheet filed by the applicant of this invention is superior in a noise isolation property compared to the conventional art comprising the felt or the urethane, and it, as illustrated in FIG. 16, is also superior in the noise isolation property as well as a noise absorbing property against the noise having a frequency of around 3000 Hz or higher, it should further be improved in the noise isolation property as well as the noise absorbing property against the noise near 1000 Hz. In FIG. 16, “(1) NI sheet” is the noise isolation sheet the applicant of this invention has previously filed. Further, “(2) Thinsulate” is a name of a product manufactured by SUMITOMO 3M Ltd., “(3) chip felt” is an urethane chip felt, and “(4) pet felt” is a resin felt, and all of them are fibriform noise absorbing materials having a gravity of about 0.02. Further, “(5) flexible urethane” is spongiose, and is a flexible foam body formed by expanding materials which is mainly comprised of polyol and polyisocyanate. It has a gravity of about 0.02. It should be noted that “t” in each corresponding parenthesis indicates a thickness (mm).
  • Further, the noise absorbing material disclosed in the Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-146967 is only effective in absorbing the noise in a range of 100 Hz to 300 Hz, and it is not satisfying in absorbing the noise near 1000 Hz. The noise absorbing material disclosed in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 2503215 is not satisfying either in absorbing the noise near 1000 Hz.
  • It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a noise isolation sheet which is also fully effective in isolating the noise near 1000 Hz.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the noise isolation sheet 10 in an installation posture. Each of FIGS. 2 to 6 is a sectional view along line I-I in FIG. 1 showing the noise isolation sheet 10.
  • Each of those noise isolation sheets 10 is installed between a door inner panel 1 of an automobile and an interior door trim 2 fully (or partially) covering an interior side of the door inner panel 1. The noise isolation sheet 10 is comprised of a closed-cell foamed layer 11, an open-cell foamed layer 12 and a fibered noise absorbing material 13.
  • The closed-cell foamed layer 11 and the open-cell foamed layer 12 can be made of a synthetic rubber such as EPDM, CR, SBR and NBR, and in this preferred embodiment, they are made of EPDM for a reason that it is easily controlled in its gravity. The fibered noise absorbing material 13 is formed by Thinsulate (a product name), an urethane chip felt or a resin felt. Those materials do not make much difference in the noise isolation property.
  • In all of the noise isolation sheets 10, the closed-cell foamed layer 11 is positioned in an outermost external side of an automobile door in order to improve the waterproof property of the door by preventing the rain water and the like from invading into an interior of the vehicle at an exterior side of the vehicle by a performance of the closed-cell foamed layer 11 which is highly effective in the waterproof property. Further, by positioning the open-cell foamed layer 12 and the fibered noise absorbing material 13 in an internal side of the vehicle, the noise isolation property of the noise isolation sheet 10 against the noise near 1000 Hz is improved by a performance of the layer 12 and the material 13, both of which are highly effective in the noise isolation property.
  • As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the noise isolation sheet 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention may be comprised of a single layer of the closed-cell foamed layer 11, the open-cell foamed layer 12 and the fibered noise absorbing material 13, or as illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6, it may be comprised of two layers (or more than two layers) of the closed-cell foamed layers 11 and the open-cell foamed layers 12 (or the fibered noise absorbing materials 13). Further, the positioning of the layers 11, 12 and the material 13 can be optionally arranged depending on a demand.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1, 7 and 8, a noise isolation sheet according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention will be described. Each of FIGS. 7 and 8 is a sectional view along line I-I in FIG. 1 showing the noise isolation sheet 10.

The noise isolation sheet 10 shown in FIG. 7 is comprised of a single layer of the closed-cell foamed layer 11 and the fibered noise absorbing material 13, whereas the noise isolation sheet 10 shown in FIG. 8 is comprised of two layers of the closed-cell foamed layers 11, thereby improving the waterproof property as well as the noise isolation property. More than two layers of the fibered noise absorbing materials 13 can be provided.
  • There will be described a noise isolation sheet 10 according to a third preferred embodiment of the invention referring to FIGS. 1, 9 and 10. Each of FIGS. 9 and 10 is a sectional view along line I-I in FIG. 1 showing the noise isolation sheet 10.
  • This noise isolation 10 is also installed to an interior side of a door inner panel of an automobile, and is comprised of a open-cell foamed layer(s) 12 and a fibered noise absorbing materials 13. Both the open-cell foamed layer 12 and the fibered noise absorbing material 13 are highly effective in the noise isolation property, so that this sheet 10 is greatly effective in isolating the noise of any frequency including the noise near 1000 Hz. A number and a position of the open-cell foamed layer 12 as well as the fibered noise absorbing material 13 are not limited.
  • The inventor of this invention and his colleagues have completed an experimental test to seek the noise isolation effect of the noise isolation sheet 10 according to the preferred embodiment and compared it with other sheets.
  • The table shown in FIG. 11 indicates the transmitted sound of the noise isolation sheet 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention with the transmitted sound of other sheets. In this table, “NI sheet” is, as previously indicated, a sheet in which a dosed-cell foamed layer 11 and an open-cell foamed layer 12 are laminated. As shown in this table, the numeric values of the transmitted sound near 1000 Hz is relatively low according to the noise isolation sheet 10 of the preferred embodiment of the invention (which are indicated as “NI sheet+Thinsulate”, “NI sheet+felt”, “NI sheet+Thinsulate+NI sheet”, and “NI sheet+felt+NI sheet”). It is understood from this result that the noise isolation sheet 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is highly effective compared to the conventional sheets.
  • The table shown in FIG. 12 indicates the sound transmission loss of the noise isolation sheet 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the invention with the sound transmission loss of other sheets. FIG. 13 is a graph prepared based on the numeric values shown in FIG. 12. The graph shown in FIG. 14, which is previously described, is also prepared based on the numeric values shown in FIG. 12 (it should be noted that the numeric values of “NI sheet (1 piece)” and “Thinsulate (1 piece)” are excluded from the table in FIG. 12.)
  • It is understood from the table and the graph that the noise isolation sheet 10 (“(3) NI sheet+Thinsulate”) according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is the highest in the sound transmission loss in a range of slightly lower than 1000 Hz, and is highly effective in the noise isolation property compared to the conventional sheets. It should be noted that the other noise isolation sheets according to other preferred embodiments of the invention (“(5) NI sheet+Thinsulate+NI sheet” and “(6) NI sheet+felt+NI sheet”) are also highly effective in the noise isolation property in a range at 1000 Hz and higher as well as a range at slightly lower than 1000 Hz.
  • Although, in the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, the noise isolation sheet is described in a case that it is installed to an automobile door, this invention is not limited to such use, and it can be applied to other vehicles such as a train and an airplane as well as a building and the like.
