Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vibration reduction and noise reduction, and in particular to a rubber product containing an acoustic cavity and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Rubber products contain a large number of acoustic cavities inside. Through the role of acoustic cavities, rubber products can play an acoustic role in isolating and absorbing noise. However, rubber products are prone to deformation under high hydrostatic pressure, which leads to a significant reduction in the acoustic effect of rubber products. Therefore, reducing the deformation of rubber products and acoustic cavities under hydrostatic pressure is of great significance to enhancing the pressure resistance and acoustic performance of rubber products.

[0003] A Chinese patent (application number 201418009286.0) introduces a method of using a woven fabric reinforced rubber composite structure to strengthen the waterproof layer of a rubber product, thereby improving the pressure resistance of the rubber product. The patent can effectively solve the problem of depression and deformation of the waterproof layer of the rubber product, and the process is simple and easy to implement. However, the patent only strengthens the waterproof layer on the surface of the rubber product, and does not strengthen the acoustic cavity layer that occupies most of the volume of the rubber product. It is not very beneficial for the deformation of the rubber product, especially the acoustic cavity under hydrostatic pressure.

[0004] The U.S. patent (publication number US4560028) discloses a pressure-resistant acoustic device, which uses a honeycomb metal frame with a large number of steel brush structures designed in the metal frame cavity. The U.S. patent (publication number US4164727) introduces an underwater acoustic pressure-resistant device, which consists of three layers, a rubber layer with an air cavity in the middle, and metal plates on the upper and lower layers. The above two structures can enhance the pressure resistance of the material. The disadvantage is that the product uses more metal materials, the weight and rigidity are relatively large, the application process is poor, and it is not suitable for application on model surfaces with large curvature and models with strict weight gain requirements. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a rubber product containing an acoustic cavity and a preparation method to solve the problem in the prior art that the rubber product containing an acoustic cavity is severely deformed under high hydrostatic pressure.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0007] A rubber product containing an acoustic cavity comprises an acoustic rubber, wherein the acoustic cavity and a non-metallic reinforced grid structure are enclosed inside the acoustic rubber, wherein the non-metallic reinforced grid structure is composed of an upper honeycomb core, a middle honeycomb core and a lower honeycomb core which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein adjacent honeycomb cores are connected together by mortise and tenon joints to form a composite honeycomb three-dimensional structure, wherein the upper honeycomb core, the middle honeycomb core and the lower honeycomb core are each composed of a plurality of honeycomb cells, wherein the acoustic cavity is arranged inside the honeycomb cell, wherein the acoustic cavity and the inner wall of the honeycomb cell are filled with the acoustic rubber, and the upper and lower ends of the acoustic rubber are both provided with sealing rubber.

[0008] By setting a non-metallic reinforced grid structure inside the acoustic rubber to form a composite honeycomb three-dimensional structure, the pressure resistance of the rubber product under hydrostatic pressure can be significantly improved and deformation under high-pressure environment can be reduced.

[0009] Furthermore, the acoustic cavity is configured as a trumpet-shaped acoustic cavity, a truncated cone-shaped acoustic cavity or a cylindrical acoustic cavity.

[0010] Acoustic cavities of different shapes are suitable for different application scenarios and can be selected and adjusted according to specific needs to meet the vibration and noise reduction requirements in different scenarios.

[0011] Furthermore, the maximum diameter of the acoustic cavity is Φ1, Φ1≤20 mm, the height of the acoustic cavity is h1, h1≥10 mm, and the minimum distance between adjacent acoustic cavities is d1, d1≥8 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the minimum distance between the inner wall of the honeycomb cell and the acoustic cavity is d2, d2≥1mm, the wall thickness of the honeycomb cell is d3, 6mm≥d3≥2mm, and the height of the honeycomb cell is h2, 6mm≥h2≥2mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the material of the non-metallic reinforced grid structure is a high-strength engineering plastic with a melting point of not less than 200°C, a bending modulus of not less than 2GPa, a compression modulus of not less than 2GPa, a shear strength of not less than 70MPa, and an impact strength of not less than 10kJ / m 2 , heat deformation temperature is not less than 60℃, density is not more than 1.2g / cm 3 .

[0014] This setting enables high-strength and toughness engineering plastics to maintain good shape stability when subjected to external pressure, reduces the deformation of rubber products under high-pressure environments, and thus significantly improves the pressure resistance of rubber products. It ensures that the non-metallic reinforced grid structure can effectively disperse and absorb impact energy when impacted, reduces damage to the internal structure of rubber products, and improves the impact resistance of the overall structure. The non-metallic reinforced grid structure can still maintain good shape and performance in high temperature environments, achieving a lightweight design while ensuring the strength and performance of the non-metallic reinforced grid structure.

[0015] Furthermore, if the arrangement of the acoustic cavities is set to a square array, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb unit cell on the horizontal plane is a square; if the arrangement of the acoustic cavities is set to a triangular array, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb unit cell on the horizontal plane is a regular hexagon.

[0016] Different arrangements of acoustic cavities can be suitable for different application scenarios.

[0017] Furthermore, the side wall of the upper honeycomb core is provided with an upper mortise, and the upper mortise passes through the side wall of the upper honeycomb core; the upper end of the side wall of the middle honeycomb core is provided with a middle tenon rod, and the upper part of the middle tenon rod is provided with a middle connecting tenon rod, and the middle connecting tenon rod cooperates with the upper mortise to connect the upper honeycomb core and the middle honeycomb core together; the lower part of the side wall of the middle honeycomb core is provided with a middle mortise, and the upper end of the lower honeycomb core is provided with a lower tenon rod, and the upper part of the lower tenon rod is provided with a lower connecting tenon rod, and the lower connecting tenon rod cooperates with the middle mortise to connect the middle honeycomb core and the lower honeycomb core together.

[0018] The mortise and tenon connection method can significantly improve the structural stability of rubber products when subjected to high hydrostatic pressure and reduce the degradation of acoustic performance caused by deformation.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper mortise and the middle mortise are set as circular mortises, the diameters of the upper mortise and the middle mortise are Φ2, 4mm≥Φ2≥1mm, the depth of the upper mortise 51 is N1, N1=0.5h2, the depth of the middle mortise is N2, then 6mm≥N2≥2mm, the middle tenon rod, middle connecting tenon rod, lower tenon rod and lower connecting tenon rod are all set as circular tenon rods, and the middle mortise is concentrically arranged with the middle tenon rod.

[0020] This setting can adjust the size of the mortise and tenon according to the needs of actual working conditions to adapt to different stress conditions and deformation requirements and meet a wider range of application scenarios.

[0021] Furthermore, the diameters of the middle tenon rod and the lower tenon rod are Φ3, 5.8mm≥Φ3≥1.8mm, the diameters of the middle connecting tenon rod and the lower connecting tenon rod are Φ4, 4mm≥Φ4≥1mm, and the heights of the middle connecting tenon rod and the lower connecting tenon rod are h3, 6mm≥h3≥2mm.

[0022] This arrangement can not only ensure the tight connection of the mortise and tenon joints, but also have excellent shear and bending resistance when subjected to external forces, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire non-metallic reinforced grid structure.

[0023] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a rubber product, which is applied to the above-mentioned rubber product containing an acoustic cavity, comprising the steps of:

[0024] S1: vulcanize and prepare sealing rubber by rubber compression molding method, and then proceed to step S2;

[0046] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1-8As shown, a rubber product containing an acoustic cavity comprises an acoustic rubber 4, wherein the acoustic rubber 4 internally envelops an acoustic cavity 2 and a non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3, wherein the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 is composed of an upper honeycomb core 5, a middle honeycomb core 6 and a lower honeycomb core 7 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein adjacent honeycomb cores are connected together by mortise and tenon joints to form a composite honeycomb three-dimensional structure, wherein the upper honeycomb core 5, the middle honeycomb core 6 and the lower honeycomb core 7 are each composed of a plurality of honeycomb cells, wherein the acoustic cavity 2 is arranged in the honeycomb cell, and the acoustic rubber 4 is filled between the acoustic cavity 2 and the inner wall of the honeycomb cell, and sealing rubber 1 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the acoustic rubber 4.

[0049] By arranging a non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 inside the acoustic rubber to form a composite honeycomb three-dimensional structure, the pressure resistance of the rubber product under hydrostatic pressure can be significantly improved. The mortise and tenon design of the honeycomb core enhances the stability of the structure and reduces deformation under high pressure environments.

[0050] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb unit cell is designed according to the cross-sectional shape and cross-sectional area of ​​the acoustic cavity 2;

[0051] Preferably, the acoustic cavity 2 is arranged at the center of the honeycomb unit cell, and the two are concentrically arranged.

[0052] Preferably, the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 is bonded to the sealing rubber 1 .

[0053] The bonding ensures a tight connection between the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 and the sealing rubber 1, avoiding acoustic leakage or vibration transmission caused by interface gaps, which helps to maintain the acoustic performance of rubber products in complex environments and maintain their isolation and noise absorption effects. At the same time, bonding the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 to the sealing rubber 1 can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the rubber product and protect the integrity of the acoustic cavity 2 and the internal structure.

[0054] Preferably, the sealing rubber 1 is made of a synthetic rubber having excellent water resistance and weather resistance, such as one or a combination of butyl rubber, nitrile rubber and chloroprene rubber.

[0055] Preferably, the material of the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 is a high-strength engineering plastic with a melting point of not less than 200°C, a bending modulus of not less than 2GPa, a compression modulus of not less than 2GPa, a shear strength of not less than 70MPa, and an impact strength of not less than 10kJ / m 2 , heat deformation temperature is not less than 60℃, density is not more than 1.2g / cm 3 The non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 is preferably glass fiber, carbon fiber reinforced polyamide plastic, polycarbonate plastic or polyphenylene sulfide plastic.

[0056] The bending modulus is not less than 2GPa, and the compression modulus is not less than 2GPa. When the high-strength and toughness engineering plastics are subjected to external pressure, they can maintain good shape stability, reduce the deformation of rubber products under high pressure, and thus significantly improve the pressure resistance of rubber products; the shear strength is not less than 70MPa, and the impact strength is not less than 10kJ / m 2 It ensures that the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 can effectively disperse and absorb the impact energy when it is impacted, reduce the damage to the internal structure of the rubber product, and improve the impact resistance of the overall structure; the melting point is not less than 200°C and the thermal deformation temperature is not less than 60°C, so that the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 can still maintain good shape and performance in a high temperature environment, ensuring that the rubber product can work stably under complex working conditions of high temperature and high pressure; the density is not more than 1.2g / cm 3 , so that the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 achieves a lightweight design while ensuring strength and performance, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the rubber product and improve its use efficiency and economy.

[0057] As a preferred example of the present application, the shape of the acoustic cavity 2 is a single structure or a composite structure.

[0058] Preferably, the acoustic cavity 2 is configured as a trumpet-shaped acoustic cavity, a truncated cone-shaped acoustic cavity or a cylindrical acoustic cavity.

[0059] Acoustic cavities of different shapes are suitable for different application scenarios and can be selected and adjusted according to specific needs to meet the vibration and noise reduction requirements in different scenarios.

[0060] Preferably, when the arrangement of the acoustic cavities 2 is set to a square array, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb unit cell on the horizontal plane is a square; when the arrangement of the acoustic cavities 2 is set to a triangular array, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb unit cell on the horizontal plane is a regular hexagon.

[0061] The square array helps to balance pressure in all directions and is suitable for scenarios that require evenly distributed acoustic cavities. The triangular array has better stability and can better disperse stress and reduce local deformation when under pressure, making it suitable for scenarios that require higher structural stability.

[0062] Preferably, the maximum diameter of the acoustic cavity 2 is Φ1, Φ1≤20 mm, the height of the acoustic cavity 2 is h1, h1≥10 mm, and the minimum distance between adjacent acoustic cavities 2 is d1, d1≥8 mm.

[0063] Φ1≤20mm makes the acoustic cavity 2 more compact, which helps to improve the sound reflection efficiency, thereby achieving better acoustic performance in a smaller space, and can also reduce the deformation of the acoustic cavity 2 under high pressure and enhance the overall pressure resistance of the rubber product; h1≥10mm ensures the volume of the acoustic cavity 2, is conducive to the propagation and resonance of sound, optimizes the acoustic effect, and can also increase the structural stability of the acoustic cavity and reduce the risk of collapse under high pressure; d1≥8mm can ensure that the acoustic cavities will not interfere with each other, ensure that each cavity can play an acoustic role independently, and can also reduce the stress concentration of the rubber product when it is under stress and improve the strength of the overall structure.

[0064] As a preferred example of the present application, the minimum distance between the inner wall of the honeycomb cell and the acoustic cavity 2 is d2, d2≥1mm, the wall thickness of the honeycomb cell is d3, 6mm≥d3≥2mm, and the height of the honeycomb cell is h2, 6mm≥h2≥2mm.

[0065] As a preferred example of the present application, the honeycomb unit cell combination topological structure of the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 matches the model curvature of the rubber product application. The topological structure design principle must first ensure that the rubber product using the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 has a certain degree of bendability and achieves good adhesion to the curvature model. Secondly, it must ensure the high pressure resistance of the rubber product using the non-metallic reinforced grid structure 3 to meet the requirements of application in high water pressure environments.

[0067] It should be noted here that the side walls of the upper honeycomb core 5 are provided with multiple upper mortises 51. When the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb cells in the upper honeycomb core 5 on the horizontal plane is a square, the four top corners of the square are provided with upper mortises 51. At the same time, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb cells in the middle honeycomb core 6 on the horizontal plane is also a square, and the upper ends of the four top corners of the square are provided with middle connecting tenon rods 611, so that the upper mortises 51 correspond to the middle connecting tenon rods 611 one by one; the middle honeycomb core 6 and the lower honeycomb core 7 have the same structure, and the middle tenon rods 61 are integrally formed with the middle honeycomb core 6.

[0068] A middle mortise 62 is provided at the lower part of the side wall of the middle honeycomb core 6, a lower tenon rod 71 is provided at the upper end of the lower honeycomb core 7, a lower connecting tenon rod 71 is provided at the upper part of the lower tenon rod 71, and the lower connecting tenon rod 711 cooperates with the middle mortise 62 to connect the middle honeycomb core 6 and the lower honeycomb core 7 together; when the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb cells in the middle honeycomb core 6 on the horizontal plane is a square, the four top corners of the square are all provided with middle mortise 62, and at the same time, the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb cells in the lower honeycomb core 7 on the horizontal plane is also a square, and the upper ends of the four top corners of the square are all provided with lower connecting tenon rods 711, so that the middle mortise 62 corresponds to the lower connecting tenon rods 711 one by one; the lower tenon rod 71 is integrally formed with the lower honeycomb core 7.

[0069] The mortise and tenon connection method can significantly improve the structural stability of rubber products when subjected to high hydrostatic pressure and reduce the degradation of acoustic performance due to deformation; the mortise and tenon structure tightly connects each honeycomb core to form a frame with high overall stiffness, which not only enhances the compressive performance of rubber products, but also improves its overall anti-deformation ability, and can effectively disperse and resist external pressure, so that rubber products can still maintain good shape stability under high-pressure environments.

[0070] Preferably, the upper mortise 51 and the middle mortise 62 are configured as circular mortises, the diameters of the upper mortise 51 and the middle mortise 62 are Φ2, 4mm≥Φ2≥1mm, the depth of the upper mortise 51 is N1, N1=0.5h2, the depth of the middle mortise 62 is N2, then 6mm≥N2≥2mm, the middle tenon rod 61, the middle connecting tenon rod 611, the lower tenon rod 71 and the lower connecting tenon rod 711 are all configured as circular tenon rods, the middle mortise 62 is concentrically arranged with the middle tenon rod 61, the diameter of the upper mortise 51 matches the diameter of the middle connecting tenon rod 611, and the diameter of the middle mortise 62 matches the diameter of the lower connecting tenon rod 711.

[0071] This setting can adjust the size of the mortise and tenon according to the needs of actual working conditions to adapt to different stress conditions and deformation requirements and meet a wider range of application scenarios.

[0073] This arrangement can not only ensure the tight connection of the mortise and tenon joints, but also have excellent shear and bending resistance when subjected to external forces, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire non-metallic reinforced grid structure.

[0074] Preferably, the acoustic rubber 4 can be any one or more of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, preferably styrene-butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, or chlorobutyl rubber.
