Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fabric sound-absorbing materials and their preparation, and specifically relates to a hemp fiber / corn cob composite fabric sound-absorbing material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The wavelength of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. High-frequency sound waves have shorter wavelengths and can be attenuated more quickly in high-porosity nonwoven sound-absorbing materials. These fabrics exhibit good mid-to-high frequency sound absorption performance and are widely used in sound absorption and noise reduction. In contrast, low-frequency sound waves are longer and easily penetrate materials, resulting in weaker low-frequency sound absorption performance and limiting their application in sound absorption and noise reduction. Particulate sound-absorbing materials combine the sound absorption of particle vibration and the sound absorption through the pores between particles, exhibiting good low-frequency sound absorption performance. Furthermore, these materials are lightweight, non-corrosive, and simple to manufacture, making them widely used in sound absorption and noise reduction. Hemp fiber is the softest of the bast fibers and the strongest natural fiber. Its surface is rough due to the distribution of horizontal and vertical striations, and it contains an internal cavity, giving it good antibacterial, moisture-absorbing, and sound-absorbing properties. It is widely used in antibacterial, moisture-absorbing, and sound-absorbing noise reduction applications.

[0003] This invention combines the sound absorption principles of porous fabrics and particle vibration. Using natural hemp fiber and agricultural waste corn cobs as raw materials, the hemp fibers are combed into a web, then corn cob powder and PE particles are evenly spread to form a thin-layer hemp fiber / corn cob composite fiber web. Six layers of the composite fiber web are laminated and then thermally bonded together to obtain a soft, environmentally friendly hemp fiber / corn cob composite fabric sound-absorbing material with excellent low-frequency sound absorption. Therefore, this invention develops a hemp fiber / corn cob composite fabric sound-absorbing material. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a hemp fiber / corn cob composite fabric sound-absorbing material. The composite fabric sound-absorbing material prepared by this method has excellent low-frequency sound absorption performance, with an average sound absorption coefficient of 0.544 in the frequency range of 630-1800Hz and a maximum sound absorption coefficient of 0.872. The composite fabric sound-absorbing material prepared by this invention has a wide low-frequency sound absorption bandwidth, with sound absorption coefficients greater than 0.305 in the frequency range of 800-1800Hz. The sound-absorbing material prepared by this invention is soft, environmentally friendly, has good low-frequency sound absorption performance, is simple to prepare, has good economic benefits, and is suitable for industrial production.

Based on the quality of the hemp fiber web, corn cob powder and PE granules are weighed out according to a mixing ratio of 55:9:36, and mixed evenly. The mixture is then evenly spread onto the hemp fiber web using a small-mesh sieve, resulting in a thin-layer hemp fiber / corn cob powder composite fiber web. Six layers of the composite fiber web are laminated and then placed in an oven for high-temperature treatment (130℃) for 20 minutes to melt the PE granules and bond the hemp fibers and corn cob powder together, resulting in a hemp fiber / corn cob composite fabric sound-absorbing material. The corn cob particle size is 0.8 mm, the PE particle size is 1.0 mm, and the basis weight of the composite fabric sound-absorbing material is 3.9 kg / m². 2 The thickness is 1.5cm.

[0020] Comparative Example 1

[0021] Hemp fibers are opened, combed, and formed into a web to obtain a hemp fiber web. Based on the quality of the hemp fiber web, PE granules are weighed according to a mixing ratio of hemp fiber to PE granules of 20:80. The PE granules are then evenly spread on the hemp fiber web using a small-mesh sieve to obtain a thin layer of hemp fiber web. Six layers of hemp fiber web are laminated together and then placed in an oven for high-temperature treatment (130℃) for 20 minutes to melt the PE granules and bond the hemp fibers together, resulting in a hemp fiber fabric. The PE granules have a particle size of 1.0 mm, and the hemp fiber fabric has a basis weight of 3.5 kg / m². 2 The thickness is 1.2cm.
