Definitions

  • This invention relates to a vibration resistant construction component, such as a floor or wall panel, floor tile, floor board, support strut or partition member that when combined form a slab.
  • the invention arose in order to mitigate the aforementioned problems by providing a vibration resistant construction component which may be formed into a floor panel, wall panel, floor tile, floor board, support strut or partition or another rigid item.
  • UK patent application GB 2 589 839A (Sea Sure ltd) discloses a seat with shock absorbers that may be formed of a resilient material such as a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer, that contact each other when they are resiliently deformed by an applied force.
  • the shock absorbing component includes two sheets of thermoplastic, each sheet with inwardly facing, opposing, resiliently compressible indentations extending into a cavity between the two sheets.
  • Korean patent application KR 2015/0089634 discloses a cushion moulding panel made by injection moulding a soft synthetic plastics material.
  • vibration resistant construction component which is lightweight and is capable of absorbing a wide variety of impact forces including high frequency repetitive forces of relatively modest magnitudes, as well as lower frequency more intense forces or shocks.
  • a vibration resistant construction component comprises: a first platform connected to a second platform by a plurality of pairs of adjacent curved ribs, the curved ribs deform elastically upon application of a compressive force which squeezes the first and second platforms together until pairs of adjacent curved ribs contact one another, the curved ribs have a profile that is dimensioned to increase an area of contact between pairs of adjacent curved ribs, in dependence of the magnitude of the compressive force, and thereby increase the stiffness of the construction component.
  • the invention therefore effectively increases the stiffness of the construction component, to the compressive force in dependence on the magnitude of the compressive force and in a passive manner, that is without the need for any external control or stiffness varying means.
  • the pairs of adjacent curved ribs curve towards one another at their centres and apart at their longitudinal edges, along which they are connected to the first and second platforms.
  • the curved ribs have a profile that is substantially constant.
  • pairs of adjacent curved ribs have a profile that is tapered.
  • the vibration resistant construction component has pairs of adjacent curved ribs whose profile varies along their lengths.
  • the ribs with these varying profiles may be used in some regions of the construction component in order to impart a specific impacts resistance capability or to dampen a specific force which occurs, or is likely to occur, in its vicinity. It is appreciated therefore that the construction component may have varying regions of impact resistance according to a specific user requirement.
  • a slab is formed from a construction component, in which its, that is the pairs of adjacent curved ribs, are parallel one to another across an entire length of the construction component, and the construction component is sandwiched between sheets of material.
  • the material may be wood, such as plywood, or a synthetic plastics material, such as polyethylene, or metal, such as aluminium.
  • Adjacent construction components may be bonded together over their entire contacting surfaces or they may be connected one to another at a plurality of separate locations. In the latter arrangement it will be appreciated that a greater degree of flexure is achieved, whereas in the former arrangement the slab tends to be stiffer.
  • a slab may be formed from a construction components in which its elements are arranged in an offset manner, so that pairs of adjacent curved ribs are staggered to form an array.
  • An advantage of this arrangement is that the construction component has a consistent bending coefficient in both lengthwise (y- axis) and across (x-axis) because pairs of adjacent curved ribs along one axis of the array are offset from pairs of adjacent curved ribs along an adjacent axis of the array.
  • a slab is formed from multiple layers of the construction component.
  • these multiple layers may be the same or of different thicknesses and/or the elements (pairs of adjacent curved ribs) which are contained in each layer may be the same or of different thickness, or formed from materials with different stiffnesses and/or adjacent layers are oriented so the axes of different layers of elements are in different directions.
  • an anti-slip coating or mat is provided on at least one of the upper or lower surfaces of the construction component.
  • a metal plate or composite material or polymer may be overlaid or bonded to a slab or a single construction component in order to form a blast panel or shock absorbing sheet.
  • a polymer such as Kevlar (RTM) may be used to provide strength and impact resistance.
  • RTM Kevlar
  • a heat resistant material such as cold-formed polyurethane polymer matting, may be placed over or bonded to the vibration resistant construction component.
  • interspacing of the pairs of adjacent curved ribs is selected according to a range of magnitudes of shock forces and vibration forces. Therefore, when a relatively flexible construction component is required the distance between pairs of adjacent curved ribs are selected such that they tuned to absorb certain frequency ranges of vibrating impact forces.
  • the distance between elements may be less so that they are spaced more closely together.
  • pairs of curved ribs are spaced around 10.00 mm apart at their closest, unrelaxed centres, more preferably pairs of curved ribs are spaced around 5.00 mm apart at their closest, unrelaxed centres, and most preferably pairs of ribs are spaced around 2.00 mm apart at their closest, unrelaxed centres.
  • the thickness of each curved rib in the vibration resistant construction component is selected according to a range of magnitudes of shock forces and vibration forces.
  • alternating elements in an array forming the construction component have different thicknesses and/or ribs have varying tapering in order to be adapted to absorb specific vibrations or shock loads.
  • ends or edge portions of the construction component are open. This reduces the need for any complex control or excess maintenance and ensures that the vibration absorbing properties are substantially homogeneous across the entire surface of the construction component.
  • end or edge caps or covers may be deployed to prevent ingress of debris or any solid materials into an interior of the construction component, which could impair the efficiency of the construction component, as such debris might bridge the gaps and so transmit forces which may lead to damage to the construction component or to the item it is protecting.
  • the elastic material used is ideally a thermoplastic vulcanised polymer (TPV), such as a Santoprene (RTM) which is an elastic material which flexes and compresses in order to absorb impact forces.
  • TPV thermoplastic vulcanised polymer
  • RTM Santoprene
  • pairs of adjacent curved ribs are formed from an elastic material, such as a cured ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber with particles encapsulated in a polypropylene matrix.
  • the Shore A hardness of the elastic material is in the range from 60 to 80.
  • the particular stiffness properties of the material are selected as required by the application and nature of the type of shocks that the construction component will experience.
  • the vibration resistant construction component reduces high frequency vibrations (for example in excess of 10Hz) without accelerations typically, for example below 2g. Therefore, for example, the vibration resistant construction component reduces transmission from a vehicle chassis (or deck of a boat) to a person standing, sitting or kneeling on it.
  • the thickness of the upper and lower surface of the construction component can be varied. Likewise the thickness of the upper and lower surface of the construction component can be variable throughout its length and/or width.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément de construction résistant aux vibrations, tel qu'un panneau de sol ou de mur, un carreau de sol, une lame de parquet, une entretoise de soutien ou un élément de cloison comprenant : une première plate-forme reliée à une deuxième plate-forme par une pluralité de paires de nervures incurvées adjacentes. Les nervures incurvées se déforment élastiquement sous l'application d'une force de compression qui comprime ensemble les première et deuxième plate-formes jusqu'à ce que des paires de nervures incurvées adjacentes viennent en contact. Les nervures incurvées présentent un profil dimensionné pour augmenter la surface de contact entre des paires de nervures incurvées adjacentes, en fonction de l'amplitude de la force de compression, et augmenter ainsi la rigidité du composant de construction.
