Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a repair process for polyurethane foam acoustic materials. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles, motor noise has become a significant issue in automotive development. To reduce motor noise, more and more car manufacturers are adopting acoustic encapsulation, placing sound insulation pads over the motor to reduce radiated noise.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for preparing acoustic insulation pads for automotive motors include molding and foaming. Molding involves molding multiple sound insulation pads according to the motor's outline. These pads are typically single-layer felt, double-layer felt, or felt + lightweight foam, and are then attached to the motor surface using Velcro, studs, or other splicing methods. Foaming involves creating multiple sound insulation pads according to the motor's outline, and then attaching them to the motor surface using Velcro, studs, or other splicing methods.

[0004] Car interior noise affects not only passenger comfort but also the health of drivers and passengers. Acoustic packaging is a crucial component influencing the acoustic characteristics of a vehicle's interior. Utilizing acoustic packaging materials can not only reduce interior noise but also adjust the sound quality to meet comfort requirements.

[0005] Polyurethane foam is a novel type of acoustic packaging material. It possesses both the damping and sound absorption mechanisms of flexible materials and the sound absorption mechanisms of porous materials, exhibiting excellent sound absorption and insulation properties, making it a popular new type of acoustic material. As a porous acoustic material, polyurethane foam has complex micro-spaces such as bubbles and pore flow paths. When sound waves are incident on the interior of these micropores, they are subjected to the viscous resistance of the air within the micropores, friction between the foam and the pores, and vibration. The sound energy is converted into heat, thus causing the sound waves to be absorbed by the porous material.

[0006] When polyurethane foam is used as the sound-absorbing layer in acoustic packaging materials, there will be problems with tearing and cracking of the sound-absorbing layer. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that when polyurethane foam is used as the sound-absorbing layer of acoustic packaging material, there is a technical problem of tearing and cracking. The present invention provides a new repair process for polyurethane foam acoustic material. The process has the advantages of simple operation, tight fit of the cracked part of the sound-absorbing layer after repair, and flatness without tearing.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a repair process for polyurethane foam acoustic materials, comprising the following steps: (1) Locate the polyurethane foam acoustic material that needs repair. Repair can be carried out when the tear size is less than 10cm. (2) After cleaning the torn side of the glue to remove dust and impurities, apply a layer of two-component adhesive. (3) After cleaning the dust and impurities from the other side of the tear, attach it to the side covered with glue; after standing, the repaired acoustic material can be obtained. The tensile shear strength of the two-component adhesive is 16~18 MPa.

[0009] In the above technical solution, preferably, the two-component adhesive is composed of component A and component B, with a weight ratio of component A to component B of 8-9:1.

Component B is isocyanate.

[0010] In the above technical solution, preferably, the polyether polyol has a functionality of 2-4 and a molecular weight of 200-8000; the polycaprolactone polyol has a functionality of 2-4 and a molecular weight of 350-5000; the dispersant is a high molecular weight copolymer; the catalyst is selected from tertiary amine catalysts; the rheology modifier is selected from modified urea oligomers; and the isocyanate is selected from polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate.
