Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ship interior materials, in particular to a ship cabin sound-absorbing and heat-insulating composite needle felt and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ship cabin is the core area for the crew to work and live, and also accommodates power equipment such as engines, generators and propellers. It faces two core technical problems: noise pollution and temperature difference regulation. On the one hand, the medium and low frequency noise generated by the operation of the power equipment has strong penetrating power and is easily transmitted to the living cabin and control room through the bulkhead structure. Long-term exposure can cause hearing loss and fatigue of the crew, and even affect the accuracy of equipment operation. On the other hand, the ship sailing environment is complex, and the diurnal temperature difference on the sea can reach 15-20℃, and the heat dissipation temperature of the engine room equipment can reach 60-80℃. If the cabin heat insulation performance is insufficient, it will lead to a sharp increase in air conditioning energy consumption, and at the same time cause bulkhead condensation, accelerate the corrosion of metal structure, and shorten the service life of the ship.

[0003] The current sound-absorbing and heat-insulating materials commonly used in ship cabins mainly have the following technical defects: traditional glass wool felt and rock wool felt have certain sound-absorbing capacity, with a medium and high frequency sound-absorbing coefficient of about 0.6-0.7, but the thermal conductivity coefficient is ≥0.035 W / (m K), and the heat insulation effect is poor. The pure aerogel heat insulation material has a thermal conductivity coefficient of ≤0.02 W / (m K), but it has weak absorption capacity for medium and low frequency noise due to its single pore structure, and cannot meet the integrated needs of sound absorption and heat insulation in the cabin. The existing composite materials mostly use a layering and pasting process, such as bonding the sound-absorbing layer and the heat-insulating layer with glue, and then combining the reflecting layer. However, there is continuous vibration during ship sailing, and long-term use can easily cause interlayer peeling and delamination, leading to a sharp performance degradation, frequent maintenance and replacement, and some materials attempt to fill aerogel powder in the sound-absorbing layer, but due to the lack of effective penetration means, the aerogel is easy to accumulate on the surface of the fiber, and the internal pore filling rate is less than 30%, resulting in large fluctuations in heat insulation performance and easy settlement of the filler due to vibration, forming a heat insulation blind area. The ship cabin is a closed space, and the material has strict requirements on the flame retardant grade, but some existing materials use non-flame-retardant organic fibers or flame retardants that are easy to precipitate in the marine high-humidity and salt spray environment, resulting in the failure of the flame retardant performance, and the material has poor aging resistance and a service life of usually less than 3 years.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] In order to solve the problems that the sound-absorbing and heat-insulating performance of the sound-absorbing and heat-insulating materials commonly used in the existing ship cabin is difficult to consider, the composite structure stability is poor, the functional filler is unevenly distributed, and the flame-retardant and weather-resistant adaptation is insufficient, as shown in Figures 1-5 The following preferred technical solutions are provided: A composite needle-punched felt for sound absorption and heat insulation in ship cabins comprises, from the front to the back, the following layers in sequence: a surface guiding layer 1, a main sound-absorbing layer 2, an aerogel composite layer 3, an aluminum foil reflective layer 4, and a backing adhesive layer 5. The surface guiding layer 1 is composed of ultra-fine flame-retardant fibers with a surface density of 80-120 g / m². The main sound-absorbing damping layer 2 is composed of a mixture of flame-retardant organic and inorganic fibers, and its density increases gradually from the side closest to the surface guiding layer 1 to the other side. The acoustic resonance heat insulation layer 3 has a fiber matrix integrated with the main sound-absorbing damping layer 2, and the pores of the fiber matrix are uniformly filled with a composite of silica aerogel powder and adhesive. The reflective barrier layer 4 is an aluminum foil composite fiberglass cloth or a flame-retardant polymer film. The backing adhesive layer 5 is a flame-retardant non-woven fabric or a thin glass fiber felt.

[0024] Specifically, the surface guiding layer 1 material is made of 3-6 denier hollow flame-retardant polyester staple fiber with a surface density controlled at 100g / m², and the fiber flame retardant rating reaches V-0 level in GB / T2408-2021. Main sound-absorbing damping layer 2 material: Prepare mixed fibers according to mass percentage, of which 50% are basalt fibers with a diameter of 20μm, conforming to GB / T23265-2009 standard, 30% are flame-retardant polyester fibers with a limiting oxygen index ≥28%, and 20% are low-melting-point polyester fibers with a melting point of 110-120℃. Acoustic resonance insulation layer 3 filler: silica aerogel powder with a particle size of 5-10μm and a thermal conductivity ≤0.018W / (m²). K), and water-based flame retardant adhesive acrylate with a solid content of 40%, are mixed in a dry mass ratio of 1:1 to form a uniform slurry; Reflective barrier layer 4 material: aluminum foil composite fiberglass cloth, aluminum foil thickness 0.02mm, fiberglass cloth surface density 50g / m², flame retardant rating V-0; Backing and bonding layer 5 material: Flame-retardant non-woven fabric is made of polyester with a surface density of 60g / m² and a limiting oxygen index of ≥30%.

[0025] To further explain the above embodiments, the present invention also provides an implementation method: a method for preparing a sound-absorbing and heat-insulating composite needle-punched felt for ship cabins, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Fiber preparation and gradient layup: The surface guide layer fiber and the mixed main sound-absorbing damping layer fiber are fully opened by an opening machine. Using a double-curtain web laying machine, the surface guide layer fiber is laid first, and the areal density is controlled to be 100g / m². Then, during the layup of the main sound-absorbing damping layer fiber, the fiber feeding amount is linearly increased by controlling the feeding roller speed of the web laying machine. Specifically, in the initial stage near the surface guide layer, the feeding amount is set to 50%. When the total thickness is about 2 / 3, the feeding amount is gradually increased to 100% and maintained until the web laying is completed. Finally, a composite fiber web of surface guide layer and main sound-absorbing damping layer with obvious density gradient and a total areal density of 600g / m² is formed.

[0026] Step S2: Pre-needling: The above composite fiber web is fed into a pre-needling machine with a needle density of 80 needles / cm² and a needle depth of 8mm. After pre-needling, the fiber web gains preliminary strength and is easy to transport.

[0027] Step S3: Functional filler infiltration: The pre-needle-punched felt is introduced into a sealed vacuum spraying box. The conveyor belt at the bottom of the box has a porous structure and is connected to a vacuum pump to maintain a negative pressure of -0.05MPa. Multiple fan-shaped nozzles are set above the box to spray a uniform slurry prepared by mixing silica aerogel powder and water-based flame retardant adhesive at a dry mass ratio of 1:1 onto the surface of the felt. Under the suction of the vacuum negative pressure, the slurry is forced and uniformly penetrates through the entire thickness of the felt. By controlling the conveying speed and spraying amount, the final total weight gain of the felt reaches 35%.

[0028] Step S4: Main Needling and Curing: The wet felt body infiltrated with filler is fed into the main needle-punching machine. The needle density is 150 needles / cm², and the needle depth is 10mm. This step further entangles the fibers and firmly fixes the aerogel particles. Subsequently, the felt body enters a hot air drying and shaping machine and is treated at 145°C for 5 minutes. During this process, the water-based adhesive evaporates and cures, while the low-melting-point polyester fibers soften and melt, forming a strong bond with other fibers and aerogel particles, resulting in a composite felt body with excellent integrity. Step S5: Composite Backing Layer: Using a two-roller hot press laminating machine, the aluminum foil composite fiberglass cloth of the reflective barrier layer is stacked with the aluminum foil side facing outwards, the acoustic resonance heat insulation layer is in contact with the aluminum foil, and the backing bonding layer is stacked in sequence. The hot pressing temperature is 110°C, the pressure is 0.5MPa, and the speed is 3 meters / minute. The hot pressing ensures that the hot melt adhesive film pre-coated on each layer is firmly bonded, resulting in a final product with a total thickness of approximately 20mm.
