Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of commercial vehicle engines and relates to a heat insulation plate for a commercial vehicle engine. Background Art

[0002] The heat insulation plate of a commercial vehicle engine is a protective device installed around the engine. Its main purpose is to reduce the transfer of engine heat to the cab or other sensitive components, thereby improving the safety and comfort of the vehicle. The heat insulation plate is usually made of materials with good heat insulation performance to ensure that it can effectively isolate high temperatures. The main functions of the heat insulation plate are as follows: 1. Reduce heat transfer: Prevent the high temperature of the engine from being transferred to the cab or other sensitive areas to protect the personnel and electrical equipment inside the vehicle. 2. Improve fuel efficiency: Reduce engine heat dissipation, which helps to improve fuel efficiency. 3. Extend the service life of components: Protect wires, plastic parts, etc. around the engine from high-temperature damage and extend their service life. 4. Fire safety: Reduce the fire risk and improve the safety of the vehicle. The existing heat insulation plates for commercial vehicle engines are usually made of non-woven fabric / aluminum foil + glass fiber + non-woven fabric / aluminum foil or non-woven fabric / aluminum foil + glass fiber + semi-cured felt + non-woven fabric / aluminum foil.

[0003] However, the existing heat insulation plates for commercial vehicle engines have the following disadvantages: 1. The raw material glass fiber used has a long setting time during the molding process and low efficiency (usually 6 - 8 minutes per piece), and the energy consumption for hot pressing and molding is high (the mold is heated to 180 ± 10 °C). 2. The raw material glass fiber used is easy to "float" in the air during the processing, causing environmental pollution and harming the health of operators. 3. After the product is molded, the excess corner waste (glass fiber) is solid waste, which is difficult to decompose, bringing environmental pollution and increasing production costs. 4. After the product is molded, it has high hardness, is not easy to assemble, and is not easy to repair after the corners are broken.

[0004] Therefore, a heat insulation plate for an engine with low processing energy consumption, high processing efficiency, light weight and more environmental protection is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problems is: A heat insulation plate for a commercial vehicle engine, the heat insulation plate is in a multi-layer stacked shape from the engine side outwards. The heat insulation plate sequentially includes from the engine side outwards: a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer. The first layer and the fourth layer are made of non-woven fabric or aluminum foil;

[0006] The second layer is made of LDPU or lightweight foam; both LDPU (lightweight polyurethane foam) and lightweight foam are synthetic materials, sharing common characteristics such as light weight, elasticity, and durability, but they have differences in specific properties and application scenarios. LDPU foam has characteristics such as light weight, excellent elasticity, softness, good heat insulation performance, sound absorption, durability, and compression resistance. It is suitable for occasions that require heat preservation or insulation, can reduce noise interference, and provide excellent softness and comfort. This material can maintain its shape even under heavy pressure, is not easily deformed, and has a long service life. In contrast, lightweight foam focuses more on its light weight characteristic and wide application range. Lightweight foam is easy to handle and install, has excellent elasticity, and can maintain its shape and function even after long-term use. It also has good softness, heat insulation performance, and can absorb sound to reduce noise interference. This material is not easily damaged, has strong durability, a long service life, and also has good compression resistance. LDPU and lightweight foam have their own characteristics and application fields. Due to its excellent heat insulation performance and softness, LDPU is more suitable for occasions that require heat preservation or insulation; while lightweight foam, due to its light weight characteristic and wide application range, is more suitable for the packaging and protection of various products. Therefore, choose to use LDPU or lightweight foam according to different needs.

[0007] The third layer is made of semi-cured felt or felt; felt is elastic and suitable as a material for shockproof, sealing, cushioning, and the base felt of elastic wire card clothing. It has good adhesion, is not easily loose, and can be die-cut into various shaped parts; while semi-cured felt has good sound insulation and vibration isolation performance and is suitable as a sound absorption and vibration isolation material. It has high plasticity and can be customized and processed according to needs. It has certain durability and stability and is suitable for long-term use in various environments. Felt and semi-cured felt each have their unique uses and advantages. Felt, due to its soft and wear-resistant characteristics, is more suitable for the production of handicrafts and daily necessities, while semi-cured felt, due to its excellent sound insulation and heat insulation performance and stability, is more suitable for industrial applications and automotive parts and other fields. Therefore, choose to use semi-cured felt or felt according to different needs.

[0008] After the heat insulation board is formed under pressure, it is installed between the engine and the cab, or after the heat insulation board is formed under pressure, it is installed between the engine and the electrical equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the thickness range of the heat insulation board is 5 - 30 mm. Different thicknesses of the heat insulation board can be selected according to different needs to achieve different heat insulation effects, or multiple layers of heat insulation boards can be used in overlapping.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness range of the second layer and the third layer is 3 - 28 mm; the thicknesses of the second layer and the third layer are relatively small, so that the overall thickness of the heat insulation board is relatively small. Without affecting the heat insulation effect, it can also reduce the material usage rate, save materials, and contribute to the lightweight of the whole vehicle.

[0011] Preferably, the upper and lower surfaces of the second layer are adhesively connected to the first layer and the third layer respectively through a film or powder adhesive; adhesive installation is simple and convenient, and it can also be fixed by other installation methods, such as mechanical fixation with screws.

[0012] Preferably, both the inner and outer sides of the heat insulation board are smooth surfaces.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] The present utility model reduces energy consumption, improves the processing efficiency of the heat insulation board for commercial vehicle engines, reduces pollution, makes the product more environmentally friendly, reduces manufacturing costs, makes the product more competitive, and reduces the weight of a single product by more than 60%, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the whole vehicle; therefore, the present utility model has low processing energy consumption, high processing efficiency, light weight and is more environmentally friendly.
