Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of waterproof breathable membrane assembly production, and in particular to a waterproof sound-permeable breathable membrane assembly and production equipment thereof. Background Art

[0002] EPTFE waterproof breathable membrane material has good dust and water resistance, pressure relief ventilation, microporous exhaust, high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, heat dissipation and cooling characteristics. It is mainly used for the sound transmission hole of the speaker. Air can quickly and unimpededly enter and exit. Moreover, due to the microporous nature of the EPTFE waterproof sound-permeable membrane material itself, sound can also be transmitted well, and the sound loss is less than 2dB.

[0003] The waterproof and breathable membranes generally used are organic materials. There are many micron-level holes on the membrane. Sound can pass through these holes smoothly, but water cannot pass through these holes due to tension, thus achieving the waterproof function on the sound propagation path. However, due to process reasons, in order to make the holes on the membrane small enough, this layer of membrane must be made very thin. Organic materials themselves are also relatively soft and very easy to damage. They will be damaged if touched by hands during installation. In actual applications, special protection needs to be designed.

[0004] In addition, the EPTFE membrane assembly in the prior art is usually composed of an EPTFE membrane, a protective layer and a cover film, and double-sided tape is adhered on both sides of the EPTFE membrane. When removing the process material, the base paper, the cover film and other operations during the production process, the EPTFE membrane between the waterproof adhesives is prone to stratification. Therefore, this structure is not convenient for production and it is difficult to ensure the quality of the waterproof and breathable membrane assembly. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application provide a waterproof, sound-permeable, breathable membrane assembly and a production device thereof to solve the problem in the related art that the EPTFE membrane assembly is usually composed of an EPTFE membrane, a protective layer and a cover membrane, and double-sided tape is adhered on both sides of the EPTFE membrane. Such a structure makes production inconvenient and it is difficult to ensure the quality of the waterproof and breathable membrane assembly.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 , a waterproof, sound-permeable, breathable membrane assembly, comprising:

[0033] The upper circular pressure plate 1 has an upper breathable membrane installation groove 2 on its bottom surface and a first connecting hole 3 located outside the upper breathable membrane installation groove 2; an upper breathable membrane 9 is arranged in the upper breathable membrane installation groove 2;

[0034] The lower annular pressing plate 4 has a lower breathable membrane installation groove 5 on its top surface, and a second connecting hole 6 located in the lower breathable membrane installation groove 5 is provided thereon; a lower breathable membrane 10 is provided in the lower breathable membrane installation groove 5; the top surface of the lower breathable membrane 10 is in contact with the bottom surface of the upper breathable membrane 9;

[0035] The connecting member 7 is provided with a first connecting hole 3 and a second connecting hole 6 to connect the upper annular pressing plate 1 and the lower annular pressing plate 4 .

[0036] Since the upper annular pressing plate 1 has an upper breathable membrane mounting groove 2 and a first connecting hole 3 located outside the upper breathable membrane mounting groove 2; an upper breathable membrane 9 is arranged in the upper breathable membrane mounting groove 2; the lower annular pressing plate 4 has a lower breathable membrane mounting groove 5 and a second connecting hole 6 located outside the lower breathable membrane mounting groove 5; a lower breathable membrane 10 is arranged in the lower breathable membrane mounting groove 5; when connected, the upper annular pressing plate 1 is pressed onto the lower annular pressing plate 4, and the top surface of the lower breathable membrane 10 is in contact with the bottom surface of the upper breathable membrane 9; the connecting member 7 is penetrated with the first connecting hole 3 and the second connecting hole 6 to connect the upper annular pressing plate 1 and the lower annular pressing plate 4, the above connection process does not require the operation of sticking double-sided tape and will not separate, which speeds up the manufacturing process of the waterproof and sound-permeable breathable membrane assembly and facilitates production.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, in order to facilitate connection, the specific structure of the connecting member 7 is arranged as follows:

[0038] The connecting member 7 includes a metal column and a hot melt adhesive filling portion;

[0039] The first connecting hole 3 and the second connecting hole 6 both include a connected vertical circular hole portion and a hot melt placement portion; the metal column passes through the vertical circular hole portions of the first connecting hole 3 and the second connecting hole 6, and the hot melt adhesive filling portion is located in the hot melt placement portions of the first connecting hole 3 and the second connecting hole 6.

[0040] The above initial connection is made by the metal column, which facilitates the positioning and docking of the upper annular pressing plate 1 and the lower annular pressing plate 4, and then the heated hot melt adhesive is passed into the hot melt placement part, solidified after cooling, and finally the connection is completed. The above pressing method speeds up the connection.

[0041] In addition, in order to distinguish the upper and lower layers, the number of the first connection holes 3 is two, and the shape of the hot melt placement part is an arrow shape; the number of the second connection holes 6 is two, and the shape of the hot melt placement part is an arrow shape.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, in the vertical direction, the projection of the air holes on the upper air-permeable membrane 9 on the lower air-permeable membrane 10 partially overlaps with the air holes on the lower air-permeable membrane 10. In this way, the waterproof breathable membrane can not only ensure the ventilation and sound quality, but also have a sufficient membrane thickness, thereby ensuring the strength of the waterproof breathable membrane to improve its waterproof depth.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, in order to facilitate the upper breathable membrane 9 and the lower breathable membrane 10 to be located in the corresponding installation grooves, a reinforcing partition 19 is provided in the internal channel 18 of the upper annular pressure plate 1 and the lower annular pressure plate 4, and a leakage hole 20 is provided on the reinforcing partition 19; this facilitates laying.
