Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a noise absorbing panel for use in a sound absorbing guard rail.
  • a guard rail is provided at the lateral side of a road with the object of limiting personal injuries by absorbing the energy of a vehicle veering off the road by catching and slowing down the vehicle. Added to this primary function it is also found attractive to provide the guard rails with noise reducing means.
  • a sound absorbing guard rail of such kind is known from EP 1 528 158 A1.
  • the sound absorbing panels are made of aluminium or made transparent.
  • a guard rail In order to ensure road safety and to reduce the risk of personal injuries it is required that a guard rail must be able to absorb the impact of a collision without disintegrating. This requirement is also applicable to the noise reducing means. This requirement is to avoid flying objects and/or sharp fractures which can cause severe personal injuries in case of a collision.
  • the casing in aluminium or transparent materials, such as glass or plastic is brittle, costly and may not withstand a vehicle impact without breaking apart.
  • the risk of disintegrating the panel during an impact is considered too high and it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a guard rail with noise reducing means which can withstand the impact of a vehicle colliding with the guard rail.
  • this object is achieved by a guard rail of the initially mentioned kind, wherein the noise absorbing panel comprises a noise absorbing material board which is encased in an energy absorbing material provided with openings.
  • an energy absorbing material provided with openings can be formed by a mesh, a grid or a perforated material.
  • the noise absorbing panel is contained in an energy absorbing material, e.g. said mesh, whereby an improved noise absorbing panel in a guard rail system may be achieved, which also meets the requirements concerning impact absorption and avoids disintegration at an impact with a vehicle.
  • the noise absorbing material is preferably a mineral wool fibre board, which has very good noise-absorbing characteristics.
  • the noise absorbing panels can also be made with other materials like foam material, integrated or partial rubber material, integrated or partial plastic material, or other noise absorbing material resistant in regard to weather conditions and wear effects next to traffic ways.
  • the energy absorbing material is a stretch-metal netting encasing said noise absorbing material board.
  • Stretch-metal or expanded metal provide very good energy-absorbing characteristics as the netting made of stretch-metal can be deformed to a large degree when impacted.
  • stretch metal netting it is possible to provide different stretch behaviour in respective stress directions. E.g. it is possible to provide a higher stress resistance and thereby a higher energy absorption in an impact situation in longitudinal direction of the traffic way than in vertical direction. In those directions, where the stretch metal netting provides a higher stress resistance, the meshes of the stretch metal netting may provide a higher amount of deformation.
  • the meshes of the stretch metal netting deform less. This can be achieved e.g. by rhombus formed meshes, which have a longer diagonal in vertical direction and a shorter diagonal in the horizontal direction. Thereby, the ability of deformation of the rhombus formed meshes in horizontal direction is higher than in vertical direction. Braking of the panels in any situation, in particular in a crash-situation, is to be avoided.
  • the stretch metal may provide a surface structure with different groups of surfaces which are intentionally oriented into a particular direction. Thereby, it is possible to achieve particular optical reflection effects such that impacting light from a vehicle is reflected in preferred directions by certain groups of surfaces of the net material, whereas the impacting light is being dispersed in other less preferred directions.
  • inclining the groups of surfaces in preferred directions may also support that particular objects colliding with the net material may slide along the surface of the material with less friction in certain preferred directions, whereas objects impacting from another direction experience higher friction.
  • the energy absorbing material can be formed of perforated metal sheets, multi-slit metal sheets, plastic nets, fibre reinforced plastic or rubber material, etc.
  • the mineral wool fibre board and more preferably a stone wool material, has very good noise-absorbing characteristics
  • another advantage by in particular stone wool as the material is that this material fire-resistant.
  • the energy absorbing material e.g. the stretch-metal netting, provides protection of the mineral wool and can further contribute to the energy absorption at an impact due to a collision into the guard rail and the energy absorbing material, e.g. stretch-metal netting, also ensures that the sound absorbing panel does not disintegrate at such an impact.
  • This synergy between the sound absorbing material formed e.g. by a mineral wool fibre board and the energy absorbing material, e.g. stretch-metal is advantageous and results in an improved noise absorbing panel in a guard rail, which also meets the requirements concerning impact absorption and avoids disintegration at an impact with a vehicle.
  • stretch-metal netting is meant an expanded metal sheet, which is made by a process of slit and stretch.
  • the process may involve a precision die which slits and stretches the sheet material in a single operation.
  • Expanded metal is manufactured through cutting and expanding a solid sheet of metal in special machines. The machines cut and stretch the metal, expand it to a seamless mesh without joints. The production contains no welded joints and no woven threads, which contributes to the unique qualities of expanded metal.
  • the mesh that is produced after expansion of the cut metal gives the material an excellent carrying capacity.
  • the material is then processed through a set of rollers, which adjusts the final thickness.
  • the stretch-metal in the netting is a ductile metal capable of absorbing energy while being plastically deformed.
  • the stretch-metal is galvanised steel. This is advantageous as it is weather resistant and inexpensive to produce and very ductile and deformable by deforming the mesh structure of the stretch metal netting when impacted. By galvanising the stretched metal sharp edges will also be rounded.
  • other types of protective coatings such as plastic coating, paint or the like, may be used.
  • the energy absorbing mesh could be a perforated metal sheet, a plastic netting or the like and/or a combination thereof, encasing said noise absorbing material board.
  • the netting is a panel which encloses at least the main sides and the top side of the mineral wool fibre board.
  • the encasing is made from the stretch-metal netting panel which is bent into a box-like shape around the mineral wool fibre board and with mounting panels provided at each of the end sides.
  • the stretch-metal netting panel may be produced with non-stretched areas at each of the end sections for receiving the mounting panels at each end for mounting the sound absorber to the supporting posts.
  • any sharp edges or pointy ends in the netting structure may be avoided, thereby reducing any risk of personal injuries to persons when handling the noise absorbing panel or during a collision with the guard rail.
  • the noise absorbing panel may be installed in cities e.g. at parapets, this feature of the invention prevents the risk of injuring pedestrians or cyclists.
  • the noise absorbing panel is preferably approx. 90 cm in height and approx. 260 cm in length.
  • the panels may fit between posts in the usual guard rail structure designs.
  • the panels may be positioned behind the post, as viewed from the traffic way, wherein a pair of two consecutive posts can be arranged in a distance of approx. 1 m, 1.3 m, 2 m or 4 m, respectively.
  • any dimensioning of the noise absorbing panel is encountered by the present invention.
  • the panels may alternatively also be mounted in front of the posts, i.e. between the posts and the guard rail.
  • the panels are not directly interconnected or mechanically fixed to one another. Instead, they are mounted to the posts or the guard rail and arranged next to one another without a mutual fixation. In other instances, the panels can be mechanically connected.
  • the sound absorbing material board in particular the mineral wool fibre board, may also be provided with a density within the range of 60-150 kg/m 3 , preferably 80-120 kg/m 3 , more preferably 80-100 kg/m 3 .
  • noise absorbing panels are provided in a size which is easy to handle during mounting.
  • the board is preferably provided with a protective fabric on its road-facing side.
  • the mineral fibre board is protected from salt, dirt and the like from the road.
  • the fabric may be a fleece, i.e. a non-woven fabric, which is weather and UV resistant ensuring a long lifetime of the sound absorbing panel.
  • the protective fabric with a structured surface having different appearances depending on the perspective.
  • the fleece and thereby the noise absorbing panel may reflect incident light more or less intensely depending on the actual incident angle.
  • the protective fabric with particular light absorbing effects such that it has a different colour depending on the actual incident angle of light or line of vision.
  • the fleece may reflect light when illuminated from one driving direction of a traffic way and fully or partially absorb or deflect light when illuminated from the other driving direction of said traffic way.
  • this feature may also provide functional benefits when the sound absorbing panel is installed next to a traffic way.
  • the noise absorbing panel is provided in either a planar configuration or a curved configuration.
  • Another advantage of the stretch-metal netting encasing the mineral fibre board is also that the stretch metal netting is manually deformable so that the noise panel is bendable into a preferred curved shape.
  • shorter panels can be used and arranged in a polygonal course for an installation at curved traffic ways.
  • the guard rail is made of a beam, preferably made of a steel profile in a predetermined cross-sectional shape.
  • the beam may be provided with sound reducing means, such as one or more sections of perforations.
  • the guard rail could be a tube or a wire.
  • the noise absorbing panel can be provided at the respective axial end portions with end profiles.
  • Such end profiles may have I-, H-, U- or C-shape.
  • I-, H-shape allows a connection of two consecutive noise absorbing panels which can be introduced in the respective recesses provided by this shape profile.
  • U- or C-shaped profiles can be used as end profiles of respective noise absorbing panels in case no further noise absorbing panel is to be connected.
  • end portions of noise absorbing panels can be at least partially covered by cover elements.
  • cover elements can be formed from material which is elastically deformable and which has good noise absorbing characteristics, e.g from rubber material. It is possible to fix such singular elements to the energy absorbing mesh material on both sides of the noise absorbing panel, respectively.
  • cover elements which cover an end portion of the noise absorbing panel by surrounding or encompassing this end portion partially or completely.
  • the cover element can be fixed by additional fixing means or it can be clamped to the noise absorbing panel. Holding ribs increasing friction or providing a form fit can be formed to the cover elements in order to engage with the noise absorbing panel, in particular with the end portions of the energy absorbing mesh material.
  • the cover element can provide an elastically deformable structure, preferably rounded, in the center of the end face which can be brought in contact with the corresponding elastically deformable structure at an opposing cover element of an approximate noise absorbing panel.
  • the elastically deformable structure can be formed by a rounded projection integrally formed within the cover, e.g. with a rounded projection surface. This allows to compensate tolerances when mounting or assembling the system and moreover provides additional noise absorbing characteristics also in the interfaces between two approximate noise absorbing panels.
