Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sound-absorbing materials, and in particular to a lightweight, highly sound-insulating and noise-reducing sound-absorbing cotton composite material, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Acoustic materials can be divided into sound-absorbing materials and sound-insulating materials according to their different functions. Sound absorption is mainly to solve the noisy feeling caused by the reflection of sound. Sound-absorbing materials can attenuate the reflected energy of the incident sound source, thereby achieving the fidelity effect of the original sound source. Sound insulation is mainly to solve the problem of the transmission of sound, which makes the subject feel noisy in the space. Sound insulation materials can attenuate the transmission energy of the incident sound source, thereby achieving a quiet state in the subject space.

[0003] Sound-absorbing cotton is a porous sound-absorbing material. The sound absorption mechanism is that there are a large number of tiny interconnected pores inside the material. Sound waves can penetrate into the material along these pores and rub against the material to convert sound energy into heat energy. The sound absorption characteristic of porous sound-absorbing materials is that the sound absorption coefficient gradually increases with the increase of frequency, which means that low-frequency absorption is not as good as high-frequency absorption. The necessary conditions for porous materials to absorb sound are: the material has a large number of gaps, the gaps are interconnected, and the pores penetrate deep into the material.

[0004] Sound-absorbing cotton can consume sound energy in the process of sound wave propagation, thus achieving the purpose of reducing noise. Sound waves have mechanical energy. When sound waves are incident on the surface of sound-absorbing cotton, part of the sound energy is reflected by the sound-absorbing cotton; part of it will enter the pores of the sound-absorbing cotton, and when it hits the air and tiny fibers, it will cause them to vibrate. Under the action of friction and viscosity, the sound energy is finally converted into heat energy; and part of it will penetrate the sound-absorbing cotton.

[0005] The main factors affecting the sound absorption performance of sound-absorbing cotton are thickness, density and air flow resistance. Density is the weight of material per cubic meter. Air flow resistance is the ratio of air pressure and air velocity on both sides of the material per unit thickness. Air flow resistance is the most important factor affecting the sound absorption performance of sound-absorbing cotton. If the flow resistance is too small, it means that the material is sparse, air vibration can easily pass through, and the sound absorption performance decreases; if the flow resistance is too large, it means that the material is dense, air vibration is difficult to pass through, and the sound absorption performance also decreases. For sound-absorbing cotton, there is an optimal flow resistance for sound absorption performance.

[0006] At present, the two common sound-absorbing cottons on the market are glass fiber sound-absorbing cotton and polyester fiber sound-absorbing cotton. Sound-absorbing cotton can consume sound energy during the propagation of sound waves to achieve the purpose of reducing noise, but the sound absorption coefficient of most sound-absorbing cottons is not high, resulting in poor noise reduction effect, and it is difficult to meet the technical index requirements of some car companies for sound-absorbing cotton.
