Definitions
- the present invention relates to a porous sound absorbing structure which reduces sound from a noise emitting source.
- a porous soundproof structure is becoming operational in various fields.
- a plate member in which a hole is not made and a plate member in which many through holes are made over a surface are arranged on an outside and an inside with respect to a sound source while opposed to each other through an air layer, and thereby a Helmholtz resonance principle is utilized to perform noise control.
- a soundproof effect is exerted only to the sound having the particular resonance frequency while the soundproof effect is extremely lowered to the sounds having frequencies except for the resonance frequency.
- a porous soundproof structure in which a sound absorbing band is widened by providing plural interior plates through the air layers. The interior plate becomes the sound absorbing plate, and many through holes (micro holes) are made in the interior plate. This enables the noises having the frequencies including the particular resonance frequency to be absorbed, because the sound absorbing band is widened.
- the interior plate is exposed on a sound source side, and the diameter of the through hole is extremely small, so that sometimes clogging is generated in the through hole. Furthermore, sometimes the diameter of the through hole cannot be decreased due to constraints from other functions (drainage, painting, and the like). Thus, because the size of the through hole diameter is subject to the restraint, there is a problem that the frequency band in which the sound absorbing performance can be exerted becomes narrowed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a porous sound absorbing structure which can sufficiently exert the sound absorbing performance in the wide frequency band.
- a porous sound absorbing structure is a porous sound absorbing structure in which a first outside member and at least one inside member are arranged while opposed to each other, many through holes being made along a flat plane in the inside member, and a plate thickness of the inside member and a diameter and an aperture ratio of the through hole are set so as to generate an viscous effect in air passing through the through hole.
- a second outside member is arranged while opposed to the inside member, the second outside member being located on the side opposite to the first outside member with respect to the inside member, many through holes being made along the flat plane in the second outside member, and the aperture ratio of the through hole in the second outside member is more than 3% and not more than 50% (claim 1 ).
- the aperture ratio of the second outside member exceeds 3%, which promotes the conversion of the air vibration into the heat energy by the viscous effect of the through hole in the inside member, and the sufficient sound absorbing performance can be exerted in the wide frequency band. Additionally, because the aperture ratio of the second outside member becomes not more than 50%, the rigidity of the second outside member can be secured to some extent.

- a porous sound absorbing structure is a porous sound absorbing structure in which a first outside member and at least one inside member are arranged while opposed to each other, many through holes being made along a flat plane in the inside member, and a plate thickness of the inside member and a diameter and an aperture ratio of the through hole are set so as to generate an viscous effect in air passing through the through hole.
- a second outside member is arranged while opposed to the inside member, the second outside member being located on the side opposite to the first outside member with respect to the inside member, many through holes being made along the flat plane in the second outside member, and the diameter of the through hole in the second outside member exceeds 3 mm (claim 2 ).
- a porous sound absorbing structure is a porous sound absorbing structure which includes a first outside member; a second outside member which is arranged while opposed to the first outside member, many through holes being made along a flat plane in the second outside member; and at least one inside member which is arranged while opposed to the first outside member and the second outside member such that the inside member is located between the first outside member and the second outside member, many through holes being made along the flat plane in the second outside member.
- a plate thickness of the inside member and a diameter and an aperture ratio of the through hole are set so as to generate an viscous effect in air passing through the through hole, and the aperture ratio of the through hole in the second outside member is more than 3% and not more than 50% (claim 4 ).
- a porous sound absorbing structure is a porous sound absorbing structure which includes a first outside member; a second outside member which is arranged while opposed to the first outside member, many through holes being made along a flat plane in the second outside member; and at least one inside member which is arranged while opposed to the first outside member and the second outside member such that the inside member is located between the first outside member and the second outside member, many through holes being made along the flat plane in the second outside member.
- a plate thickness of the inside member and a diameter and an aperture ratio of the through hole are set so as to generate an viscous effect in air passing through the through hole, and the diameter of the through hole in the second outside member exceeds 3 mm (claim 5 ).
- the aperture ratio of the second outside member exceeds 3%, which promotes the conversion of the air vibration into the heat energy by the viscous effect of the through hole in the inside member, and the sufficient sound absorbing performance can be exerted in the wide frequency band. Because the aperture ratio of the second outside member becomes not more than 50%, the rigidity of the second outside member can be secured to some extent. Because the diameter of the through hole in the second outside member exceeds 3 mm, the diameter of the second outside member can relatively be increased such that the clogging is not generated in the through hole and such that the constraints due to other functions (drainage and painting) can sufficiently be satisfied. Therefore, the sound absorbing performance can be maintained in the inside member arranged inside the second outside member.

Because the aperture ratio of the second outside member becomes not more than 50%, the rigidity of the second outside member can be secured to some extent.
- the aperture ratio of the through hole in the inside member is not more than 3% (claim 7 ). Therefore, while the inside member has the sufficient sound absorbing performance, the number of through holes is decreased in the inside member, so that a production time of the inside member can be shortened to reduce production cost.
- the diameter of the through hole in the inside member be not more than 3 mm (claim 8 ). This enables the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient to be suppressed. Accordingly, the frequency band of the absorbed noise can further be widened.

Therefore the sound absorbing performance is further improved.
- At least one of the second outside member and the inside member be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane (claim 11 ).
- water can effectively be collected and drained.

- FIG. 1 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- a porous sound absorbing structure 10 according to the first embodiment includes an exterior plate (second outside member) 1 , a closing plate (first outside member) 2 , and an interior plate (inside member) 3 .
- the exterior plate 1 is arranged on the sound source side
- the closing plate 2 is arranged on the sound insulating side
- the interior plate 3 is arranged between the exterior plate 1 and the closing plate 2 .
- An air layer 4 is located between the interior plate 3 and the exterior plate 1
- an air layer 5 is located between the interior plate 3 and closing plate 2 .
- the exterior plate 1 , the closing plate 2 , and the interior plate 3 are made of a metal such as iron and aluminum, a synthetic resin, a fiber reinforced material, and the like. Desirably the exterior plate 1 , the closing plate 2 , and the interior plate 3 are made of the same material because a separation process is eliminated in recycling.
- the exterior plate 1 is arranged while opposed to the interior plate 3 , and the interior plate 3 is arranged while opposed to the closing plate 2 . That is, the porous sound absorbing structure 10 is formed while the exterior plate 1 , the interior plate 3 , and the closing plate 2 are opposed to each other.
- Many circular through holes 1 a and 3 a are made in the exterior plate 1 and the interior plate 3 respectively, and the through hole 1 a of the exterior plate 1 is slightly larger than the through hole 3 a of the interior plate 3 in a diameter.
- Parameters including layer thicknesses d 1 and d 2 of the air layers 4 and 5 , aperture ratios ⁇ 1 , and ⁇ 2 (area ratios) of the exterior plate 1 and interior plate 3 , plate thicknesses t 1 and t 2 , and diameters ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 of the through holes 1 a and 3 a are set so as to generate a viscous effect to air passing through the through holes 1 a and 3 a of the exterior plate 1 and interior plate 3 .
- the porous sound absorbing structure according to a first embodiment can deal with the noise having the frequency components except for the resonance frequency.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the through hole 1 a in the exterior plate 1 is more than 3% and not more than 50%. This is attributed to an experimental result (see FIG. 2 ) that, in the above range, the aperture ratio P 1 is brought close to or becomes larger than the acoustic absorption coefficient of 0.3 in which the sufficient sound absorbing effect is obtained.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing a relationship between the acoustic absorption coefficient and the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 in the porous sound absorbing structure 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , when the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the through hole 1 a of the exterior plate 1 is about 5% exceeding 3%, the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes about 0.3.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 When the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 is 10%, the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes 0.35. The acoustic absorption coefficient is gradually decreased when the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 exceeds 10%, and the sound absorbing effect becomes 0.27 when the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 is 50%.
- the aperture ratio o 1 is optimized in the range of 5% to 28% where the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes 0.3 or more in which the sufficient sound absorbing effect is obtained. More preferably the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 is optimized in the range of 7% to 20% where the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes 0.33 or more.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 is 3% or less, because the acoustic absorption coefficient is decreased such that the acoustic absorption coefficient is brought close to 0.2 or becomes 0.2 or less, the desired sound absorbing effect cannot be expected.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 exceeds 50%, an aperture area of the exterior plate 1 is excessively increased, which leads to the decrease in rigidity.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing sound absorbing characteristics in the porous sound absorbing structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows the sound absorbing characteristics when the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is changed in the range of 0.1% to 5.0% while the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 is maintained at 2.5%.
- FIG. 4 is a graph showing the sound absorbing characteristics in the porous sound absorbing structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 shows the sound absorbing characteristics when the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is changed in the range of 0.1% to 5.0% while the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 is maintained at 5%.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing sound absorbing characteristics in the porous sound absorbing structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 shows the sound absorbing characteristics when the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is changed in the range of 0.1% to 5.0% while the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 is maintained at 5%.
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the sound absorbing characteristics in the porous sound absorbing structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 shows the sound absorbing characteristics when the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is changed in the range of 0.1% to 5.0% while the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 is maintained at 10.0%.
- Table 1 shows conditions of experimental numbers S 1 to S 18 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 .
- the porous sound absorbing structure 10 sufficiently has the sound absorbing performance while the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened, and the porous sound absorbing structure 10 secures the rigidity of the exterior plate 1 to some extent.
- the rigidity of the exterior plate 1 is increased as the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 is decreased.
- the diameter ⁇ 1 of the through hole 1 a in the exterior plate 1 is more than 3 mm. This is because that the through hole 1 a is clogged in the actual use when the diameter ⁇ 1 of the through hole 1 a in the exterior plate 1 is not more than 3 mm. Further, sometimes the diameter ⁇ 1 of the through hole 1 a in the exterior plate 1 cannot be made not more than 3 mm due to constraints such as drainage and painting which are of other functions of the exterior plate 1 . Accordingly, when the diameter 11 of the through hole 1 a in the exterior plate 1 exceeds 3 mm, the above problems can be avoided.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a in the interior plate 3 is not more than 3%.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is more than 3%, namely, in the case of the experimental numbers S 12 and S 18 , the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes not more than 0.3, so that the insufficient sound absorbing effect is obtained.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is not more than 3%, namely, in the case of the experimental numbers S 7 to S 11 and S 13 to S 17 , the acoustic absorption coefficient near a particular resonance frequency becomes not lower than 0.3, so that the noise can sufficiently be absorbed.
- the acoustic absorption coefficient exceeds 0.3 in any one of experimental numbers S 1 to S 6 .
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 becomes not more than 3%, the frequency band of the absorbed noise is narrowed (that is, a width near the particular resonance frequency band is narrowed).
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 exceeds 3% while the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a in the interior plate 3 becomes not more than 2%, the acoustic absorption coefficient near the particular resonance frequency band exceeds 0.3 in the experimental numbers S 7 to 11 and S 13 to S 17 .
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is set not more than 3%, which allows the acoustic absorption coefficient not lower than 0.3 to be obtained while the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 becomes not more than 3%, because the number of through holes 3 a can be decreased, the production time of the interior plate 3 can be shortened to reduce the production cost of the porous sound absorbing structure 10 .
- the diameter ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a in the interior plate 3 is not more than 3 mm. This is attributed to the experimental result (see FIG. 6 ) that, when the diameter ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a is smaller, the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient can be suppressed while the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the sound absorbing characteristics in the porous sound absorbing structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
- FIG. 6 shows the sound absorbing characteristics when the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 is changed in the range of 0.1% to 5.0% while the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 is maintained at 10% and, at the same time, when the diameter ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a is maintained at 0.2 mm.
- Table 2 shows conditions of experimental numbers S 19 to S 24 shown in FIG. 6 .
- the plate thickness t 2 of 0.3 mm of the interior plate 3 in the conditions of the experimental number S 13 to S 18 of FIG. 5 is changed to 0.1 mm, and the diameter of 0.5 mm of the through hole 3 a is changed to 0.2 mm.
- the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient is suppressed on the above conditions as shown in FIG. 6 . That is, from the comparison of FIGS. 5 and 6 , the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient can be prevented by decreasing the diameter ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a .
- the diameter ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a is set not more than 3 mm, the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient shown in FIG. 5 can be prevented. Therefore, in the porous sound absorbing structure 10 , the frequency band of the absorbed noise can be widened while the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient is suppressed.
- the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment is formed such that the aperture ratio ⁇ 1 of the exterior plate 1 exceeds 3%. Therefore, the conversion of the air vibration into the heat energy is promoted by the viscous damping effect of the through hole 3 a in the interior plate 3 , and the sound absorbing performance can sufficiently be exerted in the wide frequency band.
- the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment is formed such that the diameter ⁇ 1 of the through hole 1 a exceeds 3 mm, and the interior plate 3 is arranged inside the exterior plate 1 so as not to be exposed to the outside.
- the porous sound absorbing structure 10 when the porous sound absorbing structure 10 is actually used, the clogging is hardly generated in the through holes 1 a and 3 a , and the constraint on the size of the diameter ⁇ 1 caused by the drainage and painting which are of other functions of the exterior plate 1 can be eliminated. Accordingly, the sound absorbing performance is hardly degraded while the frequency band of the noise absorbed by the interior plate 3 of the porous sound absorbing structure 10 is widened.
- the porous sound absorbing structure 10 which securely exerts the sufficient sound absorbing performance in the wide frequency band can be obtained.
- the aperture ratio ⁇ 2 of the interior plate 3 becomes not more than 3%, which enables the porous sound absorbing structure 10 to have the sufficient sound absorbing performance.
- the number of through holes 3 a can be decreased in the interior plate 3 , so that the production time of the interior plate 3 can be shortened to reduce the production cost.
- the diameter ⁇ 2 of the through hole 3 a in the interior plate 3 is set not more than 3 mm, which allows the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient to be suppressed in the porous sound absorbing structure 10 . Therefore, the frequency band of the noise absorbed by the porous sound absorbing structure 10 can further be widened.
- FIG. 7 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
- a porous sound absorbing structure 20 of the second embodiment has the substantially same configuration as the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment except that a glass wool (sound absorbing material) 21 is arranged in the air layer 5 of the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment.
- a glass wool (sound absorbing material) 21 is arranged in the air layer 5 of the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment.
- the same component as the first embodiment is designated by the same numeral, and the description will be omitted.
- the glass wool 21 is provided in the air layer 5 , for example, the sound absorbing material made of the metal fiber, the foam metal and resin metal thin film or the metal thin film, or the non-oven cloth may be provided in the air layer 5 .
- the glass wool 21 may be provided not only in the air layer 5 but in the air layer 4 , or the glass wool 21 may be provided only in the air layer 4 .
- the glass wool 21 is provided in the air layer 5 , and thereby the air vibration passing through the through holes 1 a and 3 a of the exterior plate 1 and interior plate 3 is further damped by the glass wool 21 . That is, the air vibration damped by the viscous damping effect is further damped by the glass wool 21 when the air vibration passes through the through hole 3 a in the interior plate 3 .
- the substantially same effects as the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment can also be obtained in the porous sound absorbing structure 20 of the second embodiment. Because the sound absorbing effect by the glass wool is added to the porous sound absorbing structure 20 , the sound absorbing performance is improved compared with the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment.
- FIG. 8 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
- a porous sound absorbing structure 30 of the third embodiment has the substantially same configuration as the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment except that multiple thin films 31 are arranged so as to vertically partition the air layer 5 of the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment.
- the same component as the above-described embodiments is designated by the same numeral, and the description will be omitted.
- the multiple thin films 31 two thin films 32 and 33 are laminated while being adjacent to each other. Many through holes 32 a and 33 a are made in the thin films 32 and 33 respectively, and the through holes 32 a and 33 a have the same aperture ratios and diameters as the interior plate 3 . As shown in FIG. 8 , the through holes 32 a and 33 a in the two thin films 32 and 33 are made while not overlapped to each other when viewed from a direction in which the thin films 32 and 33 are laminated. That is, the through holes 32 a and 33 a in the thin films 32 and 33 are made at the positions where the through holes 32 a and 33 a opposed to each other are not overlapped to each other.
- the metal thin film such as aluminum foil and the resin thin film such as vinyl chloride can be used as the two thin films 32 and 33 of the multiple thin films 31 .
- the thin films 32 and 33 of the multiple thin films 31 are not limited to the particular material.
- the two thin films 32 and 33 of the multiple thin films 31 are vibrated by the air vibration passing through the through holes 1 a and 3 a in the exterior plate 1 and interior plate 3 , and thereby the two thin films 32 and 33 are brought into contact with each other and rubbed together to damp the air vibration. That is, the air vibration which is damped by the viscous damping effect passing through the through hole 3 a of the interior plate 3 is further damped by the multiple thin films 31 . Because the through holes 32 a and 33 a are made in the two thin films 32 and 33 while not overlapped to each other, the air vibration flowing into the air layer 5 passes through the through hole 32 a in the thin film 32 .
- the air vibration passes between the thin films 32 and 33 , and the air vibration passes through the through hole 33 a in the thin film 33 . That is, because the air vibration propagates along the inner surfaces of the two thin films 32 and 33 , the sound absorbing effect is further exerted by combining the damping effect in the passage of the air vibration through the through holes 32 a and 33 a and the viscous damping effect in the propagation of the air vibration through the surfaces of the thin films 32 and 33 . Furthermore, because the multiple thin films 31 does not depend on the frequency band of the absorbed noise, the noise of the wide frequency band is effectively damped.
- the substantially same effects as the porous sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment can also be obtained in the porous sound absorbing structure 30 of the third embodiment.

Description
- The present invention relates to a porous sound absorbing structure which reduces sound from a noise emitting source.
- Recently, a porous soundproof structure is becoming operational in various fields. In the porous soundproof structure, a plate member in which a hole is not made and a plate member in which many through holes are made over a surface are arranged on an outside and an inside with respect to a sound source while opposed to each other through an air layer, and thereby a Helmholtz resonance principle is utilized to perform noise control. When the Helmholtz resonance principle is utilized, for example, a relationship of a general formula f=(c/2π)×∫{β/(t+1.6φ)d} holds, where f is a resonance frequency, c is sound velocity, β is an aperture ratio, t is a plate thickness of the inside plate, φ is a diameter of the through hole, and d is an air layer thickness. Air in the portion of the through hole is drastically vibrated to the sound having a resonance frequency, and the sound having the resonance frequency is absorbed by friction. Therefore, the noise having a particular resonance frequency can efficiently be decreased.
- However, when the Helmholtz resonance principle is used, there is a problem that a soundproof effect is exerted only to the sound having the particular resonance frequency while the soundproof effect is extremely lowered to the sounds having frequencies except for the resonance frequency. In order to solve the problem, there is known a porous soundproof structure in which a sound absorbing band is widened by providing plural interior plates through the air layers. The interior plate becomes the sound absorbing plate, and many through holes (micro holes) are made in the interior plate. This enables the noises having the frequencies including the particular resonance frequency to be absorbed, because the sound absorbing band is widened.
- However, in the porous soundproof structure, the interior plate is exposed on a sound source side, and the diameter of the through hole is extremely small, so that sometimes clogging is generated in the through hole. Furthermore, sometimes the diameter of the through hole cannot be decreased due to constraints from other functions (drainage, painting, and the like). Thus, because the size of the through hole diameter is subject to the restraint, there is a problem that the frequency band in which the sound absorbing performance can be exerted becomes narrowed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a porous sound absorbing structure which can sufficiently exert the sound absorbing performance in the wide frequency band.
- A porous sound absorbing structure according to one aspect of the present invention is a porous sound absorbing structure in which a first outside member and at least one inside member are arranged while opposed to each other, many through holes being made along a flat plane in the inside member, and a plate thickness of the inside member and a diameter and an aperture ratio of the through hole are set so as to generate an viscous effect in air passing through the through hole. In the porous sound absorbing structure, a second outside member is arranged while opposed to the inside member, the second outside member being located on the side opposite to the first outside member with respect to the inside member, many through holes being made along the flat plane in the second outside member, and the aperture ratio of the through hole in the second outside member is more than 3% and not more than 50% (claim 1).
- According to the porous sound absorbing structure according to the present invention, the aperture ratio of the second outside member exceeds 3%, which promotes the conversion of the air vibration into the heat energy by the viscous effect of the through hole in the inside member, and the sufficient sound absorbing performance can be exerted in the wide frequency band. Additionally, because the aperture ratio of the second outside member becomes not more than 50%, the rigidity of the second outside member can be secured to some extent.

Because the aperture ratio of the second outside member becomes not more than 50%, the rigidity of the second outside member can be secured to some extent.

FIG. 1 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 1 , a poroussound absorbing structure 10 according to the first embodiment includes an exterior plate (second outside member) 1, a closing plate (first outside member) 2, and an interior plate (inside member) 3. Theexterior plate 1 is arranged on the sound source side, theclosing plate 2 is arranged on the sound insulating side, and theinterior plate 3 is arranged between theexterior plate 1 and theclosing plate 2. Anair layer 4 is located between theinterior plate 3 and theexterior plate 1, and anair layer 5 is located between theinterior plate 3 andclosing plate 2. Theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3 are made of a metal such as iron and aluminum, a synthetic resin, a fiber reinforced material, and the like. Desirably theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3 are made of the same material because a separation process is eliminated in recycling. - The
exterior plate 1 is arranged while opposed to theinterior plate 3, and theinterior plate 3 is arranged while opposed to theclosing plate 2. That is, the poroussound absorbing structure 10 is formed while theexterior plate 1, theinterior plate 3, and theclosing plate 2 are opposed to each other. Many circular throughholes exterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3 respectively, and the throughhole 1 a of theexterior plate 1 is slightly larger than the throughhole 3 a of theinterior plate 3 in a diameter. Parameters including layer thicknesses d1 and d2 of the air layers 4 and 5, aperture ratios β1, and β2 (area ratios) of theexterior plate 1 andinterior plate 3, plate thicknesses t1 and t2, and diameters φ1 and φ2 of the throughholes holes exterior plate 1 andinterior plate 3. Thus, because the air vibration is converted into heat energy by generating a viscous damping effect in the air passing through the throughholes - Preferably the aperture ratio β1 of the through
hole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 is more than 3% and not more than 50%. This is attributed to an experimental result (seeFIG. 2 ) that, in the above range, the aperture ratio P1 is brought close to or becomes larger than the acoustic absorption coefficient of 0.3 in which the sufficient sound absorbing effect is obtained.FIG. 2 is a graph showing a relationship between the acoustic absorption coefficient and the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 in the poroussound absorbing structure 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 2 , when the aperture ratio β1 of the throughhole 1 a of theexterior plate 1 is about 5% exceeding 3%, the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes about 0.3. When the aperture ratio β1 is 10%, the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes 0.35. The acoustic absorption coefficient is gradually decreased when the aperture ratio β1 exceeds 10%, and the sound absorbing effect becomes 0.27 when the aperture ratio β1 is 50%. As can be seen fromFIG. 2 , from the viewpoint of acoustic absorption coefficient, not only the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is simply decreased while exceeding 3%, but also preferably the aperture ratio o1 is optimized in the range of 5% to 28% where the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes 0.3 or more in which the sufficient sound absorbing effect is obtained. More preferably the aperture ratio β1 is optimized in the range of 7% to 20% where the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes 0.33 or more. However, when the aperture ratio β1 is 3% or less, because the acoustic absorption coefficient is decreased such that the acoustic absorption coefficient is brought close to 0.2 or becomes 0.2 or less, the desired sound absorbing effect cannot be expected. When the aperture ratio β1 exceeds 50%, an aperture area of theexterior plate 1 is excessively increased, which leads to the decrease in rigidity. -

- On the conditions of the aperture ratios β1 of the
exterior plate 1 of 2.5%, 5.0%, and 10.0%, when the aperture ratios β2 of theinterior plate 3 is changed to 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 5.0% as shown in Table 1, it is found that the frequency band of the noise absorbed by the poroussound absorbing structure 10 is widened as the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is increased as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. That is, when the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is increased from 2.5% to 5% and 10.0% in the experimental number S1 like the experimental numbers S7 and S13, the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened, and the noise having the wide frequency band can be absorbed. Similarly, when the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is increased from 2.5% to 5% and 10.0% in the experimental numbers S2 to S6 like the experimental numbers S8 to S12 and S14 to S18, the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened, and the noise having the wide frequency band can be absorbed. From the experimental results shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in the poroussound absorbing structure 10, it is found that the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened when the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 exceeds 3%. Accordingly, when the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is set more than 3% and not more than 50%, the poroussound absorbing structure 10 sufficiently has the sound absorbing performance while the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened, and the poroussound absorbing structure 10 secures the rigidity of theexterior plate 1 to some extent. The rigidity of theexterior plate 1 is increased as the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is decreased. - Preferably the diameter φ1 of the through
hole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 is more than 3 mm. This is because that the throughhole 1 a is clogged in the actual use when the diameter φ1 of the throughhole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 is not more than 3 mm. Further, sometimes the diameter φ1 of the throughhole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 cannot be made not more than 3 mm due to constraints such as drainage and painting which are of other functions of theexterior plate 1. Accordingly, when the diameter 11 of the throughhole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 exceeds 3 mm, the above problems can be avoided. - Preferably the aperture ratio β2 of the through
hole 3 a in theinterior plate 3 is not more than 3%. As shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , when the aperture ratio β2 of theinterior plate 3 is more than 3%, namely, in the case of the experimental numbers S12 and S18, the acoustic absorption coefficient becomes not more than 0.3, so that the insufficient sound absorbing effect is obtained. On the contrary, when the aperture ratio β2 of theinterior plate 3 is not more than 3%, namely, in the case of the experimental numbers S7 to S11 and S13 to S17, the acoustic absorption coefficient near a particular resonance frequency becomes not lower than 0.3, so that the noise can sufficiently be absorbed. - On the other hand, in
FIG. 3 , the acoustic absorption coefficient exceeds 0.3 in any one of experimental numbers S1 to S6. However, because the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 becomes not more than 3%, the frequency band of the absorbed noise is narrowed (that is, a width near the particular resonance frequency band is narrowed). - Thus, as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , when the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 exceeds 3% while the aperture ratio β2 of the throughhole 3 a in theinterior plate 3 becomes not more than 2%, the acoustic absorption coefficient near the particular resonance frequency band exceeds 0.3 in the experimental numbers S7 to 11 and S13 to S17. From the results shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , in the poroussound absorbing structure 10, the aperture ratio β2 of theinterior plate 3 is set not more than 3%, which allows the acoustic absorption coefficient not lower than 0.3 to be obtained while the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened. When the aperture ratio β2 becomes not more than 3%, because the number of throughholes 3 a can be decreased, the production time of theinterior plate 3 can be shortened to reduce the production cost of the poroussound absorbing structure 10. - Preferably the diameter φ2 of the through
hole 3 a in theinterior plate 3 is not more than 3 mm. This is attributed to the experimental result (seeFIG. 6 ) that, when the diameter φ2 of the throughhole 3 a is smaller, the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient can be suppressed while the frequency band of the absorbed noise is widened.FIG. 6 is a graph showing the sound absorbing characteristics in the porous sound absorbing structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 6 shows the sound absorbing characteristics when the aperture ratio β2 of theinterior plate 3 is changed in the range of 0.1% to 5.0% while the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 is maintained at 10% and, at the same time, when the diameter φ2 of the throughhole 3 a is maintained at 0.2 mm. Table 2 shows conditions of experimental numbers S19 to S24 shown inFIG. 6 .TABLE 2 Exterior plate Interior plate Plate Diameter Plate Diameter Plate Diameter Experimental thickness of through thickness of through thickness of through number t1 (mm) hole φ1 (mm) t1 (mm) hole φ1 (mm) t1 (mm) hole φ1 (mm) S19 1.5 10.0 10.0 15 0.1 0.2 0.1 15 S20 * * * * * * 0.2 * S21 * * * * * * 0.5 * S22 * * * * * * 1.0 * S23 * * * * * * 2.0 * S24 * * * * * * 5.0 *
* denotes ditto.
- As shown in Table 2, in the conditions of experimental numbers S19 to S24 of
FIG. 6 , the plate thickness t2 of 0.3 mm of theinterior plate 3 in the conditions of the experimental number S13 to S18 ofFIG. 5 is changed to 0.1 mm, and the diameter of 0.5 mm of the throughhole 3 a is changed to 0.2 mm. In the experimental numbers S19 to S24, the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient is suppressed on the above conditions as shown inFIG. 6 . That is, from the comparison ofFIGS. 5 and 6 , the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient can be prevented by decreasing the diameter φ2 of the throughhole 3 a. Preferably, when the diameter φ2 of the throughhole 3 a is set not more than 3 mm, the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient shown inFIG. 5 can be prevented. Therefore, in the poroussound absorbing structure 10, the frequency band of the absorbed noise can be widened while the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient is suppressed. - Thus, the porous
sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment is formed such that the aperture ratio β1 of theexterior plate 1 exceeds 3%. Therefore, the conversion of the air vibration into the heat energy is promoted by the viscous damping effect of the throughhole 3 a in theinterior plate 3, and the sound absorbing performance can sufficiently be exerted in the wide frequency band. The poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment is formed such that the diameter φ1 of the throughhole 1 a exceeds 3 mm, and theinterior plate 3 is arranged inside theexterior plate 1 so as not to be exposed to the outside. Therefore, when the poroussound absorbing structure 10 is actually used, the clogging is hardly generated in the throughholes exterior plate 1 can be eliminated. Accordingly, the sound absorbing performance is hardly degraded while the frequency band of the noise absorbed by theinterior plate 3 of the poroussound absorbing structure 10 is widened. Because the aperture ratio β1 of the throughhole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 exceeds 3% while the diameter φ1 of the throughhole 1 a exceeds 3 mm, even in an environment in which the diameter φ1 of the throughhole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 cannot relatively be decreased, the poroussound absorbing structure 10 which securely exerts the sufficient sound absorbing performance in the wide frequency band can be obtained. - The aperture ratio β2 of the
interior plate 3 becomes not more than 3%, which enables the poroussound absorbing structure 10 to have the sufficient sound absorbing performance. The number of throughholes 3 a can be decreased in theinterior plate 3, so that the production time of theinterior plate 3 can be shortened to reduce the production cost. The diameter φ2 of the throughhole 3 a in theinterior plate 3 is set not more than 3 mm, which allows the rapid decrease in acoustic absorption coefficient to be suppressed in the poroussound absorbing structure 10. Therefore, the frequency band of the noise absorbed by the poroussound absorbing structure 10 can further be widened. -
FIG. 7 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 7 , a poroussound absorbing structure 20 of the second embodiment has the substantially same configuration as the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment except that a glass wool (sound absorbing material) 21 is arranged in theair layer 5 of the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment. InFIG. 7 , the same component as the first embodiment is designated by the same numeral, and the description will be omitted. - In the second embodiment, although the
glass wool 21 is provided in theair layer 5, for example, the sound absorbing material made of the metal fiber, the foam metal and resin metal thin film or the metal thin film, or the non-oven cloth may be provided in theair layer 5. Theglass wool 21 may be provided not only in theair layer 5 but in theair layer 4, or theglass wool 21 may be provided only in theair layer 4. Theglass wool 21 is provided in theair layer 5, and thereby the air vibration passing through the throughholes exterior plate 1 andinterior plate 3 is further damped by theglass wool 21. That is, the air vibration damped by the viscous damping effect is further damped by theglass wool 21 when the air vibration passes through the throughhole 3 a in theinterior plate 3. - The substantially same effects as the porous
sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment can also be obtained in the poroussound absorbing structure 20 of the second embodiment. Because the sound absorbing effect by the glass wool is added to the poroussound absorbing structure 20, the sound absorbing performance is improved compared with the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment. -
FIG. 8 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 8 , a poroussound absorbing structure 30 of the third embodiment has the substantially same configuration as the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment except that multiplethin films 31 are arranged so as to vertically partition theair layer 5 of the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment. InFIG. 8 , the same component as the above-described embodiments is designated by the same numeral, and the description will be omitted. - In the multiple
thin films 31, twothin films holes thin films holes interior plate 3. As shown inFIG. 8 , the throughholes thin films thin films holes thin films holes thin films thin films 31. However, thethin films thin films 31 are not limited to the particular material. - Thus, when the multiple
thin films 31 are provided in theair layer 5, the twothin films thin films 31 are vibrated by the air vibration passing through the throughholes exterior plate 1 andinterior plate 3, and thereby the twothin films hole 3 a of theinterior plate 3 is further damped by the multiplethin films 31. Because the throughholes thin films air layer 5 passes through the throughhole 32 a in thethin film 32. Then, the air vibration passes between thethin films hole 33 a in thethin film 33. That is, because the air vibration propagates along the inner surfaces of the twothin films holes thin films thin films 31 does not depend on the frequency band of the absorbed noise, the noise of the wide frequency band is effectively damped. - The substantially same effects as the porous
sound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment can also be obtained in the poroussound absorbing structure 30 of the third embodiment. Because the sound absorbing effect by the multiplethin films 31 is added to the poroussound absorbing structure 30, the sound absorbing performance is improved compared with the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment. - Although the multiple
thin films 31 including the twothin films holes sound absorbing structure 30, the multiple thin films including the thin films in which the throughholes -
FIG. 9 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 9 , a poroussound absorbing structure 40 of the fourth embodiment has the substantially same configuration as the poroussound absorbing structure 30 of the third embodiment except that theglass wool 21 are arranged in theair layer 4 of the poroussound absorbing structure 30 of the third embodiment. InFIG. 9 , the same component as the above-described embodiments is designated by the same numeral, and the description will be omitted. - The
glass wool 21 is arranged in theair layer 4 and the multiplethin films 31 are arranged in theair layer 5, so that the air vibration passing through the throughhole 1 a in theexterior plate 1 is damped by theglass wool 21, the air vibration damped by theglass wool 21 is further damped when the air vibration passes through the throughhole 3 a in theinterior plate 3, and the air vibration damped by theglass wool 21 and the throughhole 3 a in theinterior plate 2 is further damped by the multiplethin films 31. - According to the porous

FIG. 10 is a transverse sectional view showing a porous sound absorbing structure according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the poroussound absorbing structure 50 of the fifth embodiment, as shown inFIG. 10 , while theflat exterior plate 1 andinterior plate 3 are inclined with respect to theclosing plate 2, drain holes are made in lower portions of the inclinations. Other portions of the poroussound absorbing structure 50 of the fifth embodiment are substantially similar to the poroussound absorbing structure 10 of the first embodiment. InFIG. 10 , the same component as the above-described embodiments is designated by the same numeral, and the description will be omitted. - Thus, according to the porous sound absorbing structure of the fifth embodiment, the water can effectively be collected and drained. Additionally, the painting can effectively be collected and discharged when the porous sound absorbing structure is coated with paint. As a result, the decrease in sound absorbing material can further be suppressed in the multi-hole plate.
- It is not always necessary that the
exterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3 be evenly inclined, and the number of drain holes is not limited to one. For example, in one of modifications of the fifth embodiment, as shown inFIG. 17 , inclination orientations of theinterior plate 3 are alternately changed, and the plural drain holes are provided in the lower portion of the inclination. - The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but various design changes could be made without departing from the scope of claims. For example, in the
exterior plate 1 in the poroussound absorbing structures hole 1 a exceeds 3 mm. However, one of the two conditions may be satisfied in theexterior plate 1 of the poroussound absorbing structures interior plate 3. The diameter φ2 may exceed 3 mm in the throughhole 3 a of theinterior plate 3. The pluralinterior plates 3 may be arranged between theexterior plate 1 and theclosing plate 2 while being adjacent to one another, which allows the viscous damping effect to be improved in the through hole of the interior plate to enhance the sound absorbing performance of the porous sound absorbing structure. - The
exterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3 in the above embodiments are formed in the rectangular flat shape. However, for example, theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3 may be formed in a circular shape, an elliptic plane, or a triangular plane. Preferably the irregularities are formed in theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3, because the irregularity has the effect of enhancing the rigidity. When the irregularities are formed in theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3, the air layers can be provided among theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3 only by overlapping theexterior plate 1, theclosing plate 2, and theinterior plate 3 to one another. Theexterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3 may be formed not in the flat plates but in the thin films. For example, the metal thin film such as aluminum foil and the resin thin film such as vinyl chloride can be applied to theexterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3. Theclosing plate 2 may be formed in an annular shape in section. - For example, FIGS. 11 to 17 are explanatory views showing modifications of the
exterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3 in the embodiments.FIG. 11 shows a state in which irregularity is formed in theexterior plate 1,FIG. 12 shows a state in which the irregularity is formed in theinterior plate 3,FIG. 13 shows a state in which the irregularity is formed in theexterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3,FIG. 14 shows a state in which a corrugated irregularity is formed in theinterior plate 3,FIG. 15 shows a state in which anoutside rib 1 b and aninside rib 3 b are provided in theexterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3 and the irregularities are formed in theexterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 3 respectively,FIG. 16 shows a state in which the corrugated irregularity is formed in theinterior plate 3 and the emboss is provided in theexterior plate 1 while the irregularity is formed in theexterior plate 1, andFIG. 17 shows a state in which the irregularities are formed in theexterior plate 1 and theinterior plate 1 when theinterior plate 3 is inclined. - The inside member may be made of a water-repellent material containing at least one of silicon and fluorine, or a surface of the inside member is coated with a water-repellent material containing at least one of silicon and fluorine.
- Therefore, even if the rainwater or the like reaches the interior member, the rainwater or the like is effectively removed from the surroundings of the through hole, so that the rainwater or the like can be prevented from adhering to the surroundings of the through hole. As a result, the clogging can further be suppressed in the through hole.
- In the conventional porous soundproof structure, because the interior plate is exposed onto the sound source side, there is a possibility that the clogging is generated in the through hole by the rainwater, dust, and the like which pass through the hole of the second exterior member to adhere to the interior member. Accordingly, even if the rainwater or the like reaches the interior member, the adhesion of the rainwater, the dust, and the like to the interior member can further be suppressed when the surface of the interior member has the water repellency. In this case, it is particularly necessary that the interior member surface including the inner surface of the hole have the water repellency. When the interior member surface including the inner surface of the hole has the water repellency, even if the rainwater or the like reaches the interior member, the rainwater can be prevented from invading into the hole. On the other hand, when the interior member surface including the inner surface of the hole does not have the water repellency, the rainwater or the like is sucked into the hole by capillary force, which results in the clogging.
- As used herein, “having the water repellency” shall mean that a contact angle becomes more than 90° when a water droplet is caused to fall on the surface of the member. The contact angle more than 90° means that the state in which the surface of member is in contact with the water is more unstable than the state in which the surface of the member is exposed to atmospheric air. On the contrary, the contact angle lower than 90° means that the state in which the surface of member is in contact with the water is more stable than the state in which the surface of the member is exposed to the atmospheric air. In order to suppress the invasion of the rainwater or the like into the hole of the interior member, the contact angle is not lower than 90°, preferably not lower than 100°, more preferably not lower than 110°.
- In order that the interior member surface including the inner surface of the hole has the water repellency, the interior member may be made of the material having the water repellency, or the surface of the metal member such as aluminum may be applied or coated with the material having the water repellency. A material having a poly-alkyl siloxane structure represented by silicone resin, a silane compound having an organic functional group bonded to a silicon atom represented by silane coupling agent through a carbon atom, a material having a fluorohydrocarbon structure represented by fluororesin, a fluoro-silane coupling agent in which a carbon fluoride chain is introduced to the silane coupling agent, and mixtures thereof can be applied to the material having the practical water repellency include. These compounds can solely be used, or the compounds can be used while at least two compounds are mixed together. These compounds may be applied as the water-repellent material by mixing the compound in another vehicle which does not contain the silicon and fluorine as long as the contact angle can be maintained not lower than 90° between the water and the interior member.
- As described above, according to the present invention, the aperture ratio of the second outside member exceeds 3%, which promotes the conversion of the air vibration into the heat energy by the viscous effect of the through hole in the inside member, and the sufficient sound absorbing performance can be exerted in the wide frequency band. Because the aperture ratio of the second outside member becomes not more than 50%, the rigidity of the second outside member can be secured to some extent.
