Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sound insulation materials, in particular to a polyurethane elastomer sound insulation pad. Background Art
[0002] With the development of modern industry and transportation, noise pollution has become increasingly prominent. Sound insulation mats, as a commonly used noise reduction material, are widely used in the construction field. Traditional polyurethane sound insulation mats usually adopt a uniform density structure, and their sound insulation performance mainly depends on the surface density of the material (mass law), that is, the higher the density, the better the sound insulation effect. However, this uniform density structure has the following shortcomings:
[0003] 1. Low broadband sound insulation efficiency: Uniform density materials have a good effect on blocking noise of specific frequencies, but their comprehensive sound insulation capacity for broadband noise (especially low-frequency and high-frequency noise) is limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of complex noise environments.
[0004] 2. Heavy weight: In order to improve the sound insulation, the material density or thickness needs to be increased, which leads to a significant increase in the weight of the sound insulation pad, which is not conducive to the application of sound insulation scenarios in floating floor slabs of buildings.
[0005] 3. Poor flexibility: High-density polyurethane materials tend to be hard and lack flexibility, making them difficult to adapt to the paving of complex curved surfaces, and are prone to cracking due to vibration during long-term use.
[0006] To address these issues, existing technologies have developed gradient-structured sound insulation materials. These materials are typically segmented and layered, resulting in distinct interfaces that easily reflect sound. Furthermore, the density gradient cannot be adjusted, making broadband optimization difficult. Furthermore, the preparation process for existing gradient materials is complex and costly, making them difficult to scale up. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of sound insulation mat with a rational structural design, simple preparation process, and the combined properties of broadband sound insulation and lightweight flexibility.
