Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foamed rubber technology, specifically to a foamed rubber with a sound insulation and noise reduction functional layer. Background Technology

[0002] Foamed rubber is an elastic material with a porous structure. Due to its excellent elasticity, cushioning properties, and weather resistance, it is widely used in building decoration, automotive interiors, electronic device packaging, and appliance sealing. In practical applications, especially in scenarios such as automotive cabins, soundproof ceilings, and appliance casing sealing, the demand for sound insulation and noise reduction performance of materials is increasing.

[0003] Existing foamed rubbers are mostly made from a single rubber substrate, and their sound insulation and noise reduction capabilities rely solely on the weak adsorption and blocking effect of their porous structure on sound waves, which has significant drawbacks: First, the sound insulation band is limited, only able to weaken mid-to-high frequency sound waves to a certain extent, while the blocking ability of low frequency sound waves is extremely poor. Low frequency noise can easily penetrate the material and propagate, resulting in poor sound insulation performance. Second, the noise reduction stability is insufficient. Some foamed rubbers add additional sound insulation fillers to improve sound insulation performance, but the fillers have poor compatibility with the rubber substrate and are prone to detachment due to material aging and vibration friction during long-term use, causing the sound insulation and noise reduction performance to rapidly decline over time. Therefore, we propose a foamed rubber with a sound insulation and noise reduction functional layer. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a foamed rubber with a sound insulation and noise reduction functional layer. This layer offers the advantage of sound insulation and noise reduction while solving the problem that existing foamed rubbers are mostly made from a single rubber substrate, and their sound insulation and noise reduction capabilities rely solely on the weak adsorption and blocking effect of their porous structure on sound waves, resulting in significant defects: First, the sound insulation band is limited, only effectively weakening mid-to-high frequency sound waves, with extremely poor blocking ability for low-frequency sound waves. Low-frequency noise easily penetrates the material and propagates, leading to poor sound insulation performance. Second, the noise reduction stability is insufficient. Some foamed rubbers add additional sound insulation fillers to improve sound insulation performance, but the fillers have poor compatibility with the rubber substrate, and are prone to detachment due to material aging and vibration friction during long-term use, causing the sound insulation and noise reduction performance to rapidly decline over time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a foamed rubber with a sound insulation and noise reduction functional layer, comprising a foamed rubber body, the foamed rubber body comprising a base layer, a first functional layer bonded to the top of the base layer, the first functional layer comprising a chlorinated butyl rubber-graphite composite layer and an isoprene rubber-iron oxide powder composite layer, a second functional layer bonded to the top of the first functional layer, the second functional layer comprising a closed-cell silicone rubber layer and a closed-cell styrene-butadiene rubber layer.

[0006] Preferably, a protective layer is bonded to the top of the second functional layer, the protective layer comprising a fluororubber layer and a neoprene rubber layer, and an adhesive layer is provided at the bottom of the base layer.

[0007] Preferably, the base layer is a natural rubber-styrene-butadiene rubber blended open-cell foam layer, the chlorinated butyl rubber-graphite composite layer is bonded to the top of the base layer, and the isoprene rubber-iron oxide powder composite layer is bonded to the top of the chlorinated butyl rubber-graphite composite layer.

[0008] Preferably, the closed-cell silicone rubber layer is bonded to the top of the first functional layer, and the closed-cell styrene-butadiene rubber layer is bonded to the top of the closed-cell silicone rubber layer.

[0009] Preferably, the fluororubber layer is bonded to the top of the second functional layer, and the neoprene rubber layer is bonded to the top of the fluororubber layer.

[0010] Preferably, the adhesive layer is an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the fluororubber layer and the neoprene rubber layer have the same thickness.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a foamed rubber with a sound insulation and noise reduction functional layer, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The base layer of this utility model adopts a natural rubber-styrene-butadiene rubber blended open-cell foam layer. Its high open-cell ratio and honeycomb structure not only provide stable support and good buffering performance for the overall material, but also serve as a transition carrier for sound wave conduction. The first functional layer is composed of a chlorinated butyl rubber-graphite composite layer and an isoprene rubber-iron oxide powder composite layer from bottom to top. Chlorinated butyl rubber has high damping characteristics, and when combined with the sheet-like structure of graphite, it can dissipate low-frequency sound wave energy through material deformation. The upper isoprene rubber-iron oxide powder composite layer utilizes the properties of iron oxide powder... The high-density properties enhance the suppression of low-frequency vibrations and work synergistically with the underlying structure to provide double protection against low-frequency noise penetration, solving the problem of weak low-frequency sound insulation in traditional foamed rubber. The second functional layer is composed of a closed-cell silicone rubber layer and a closed-cell styrene-butadiene rubber layer. The closed-cell structure can effectively reflect mid-to-high frequency sound waves and prevent sound waves from penetrating the material. Among them, the closed-cell silicone rubber layer has outstanding low-temperature performance, and the closed-cell styrene-butadiene rubber layer has a uniform structure. The two work together to ensure stable blocking of mid-to-high frequency noise in different environments, making up for the performance limitations of a single closed-cell material.

[0013] 2. The protective layer of this utility model is composed of a fluororubber layer and a neoprene rubber layer. The two layers are of the same thickness and are tightly bonded. The fluororubber layer has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and strong weather resistance, which can resist the erosion of the internal functional layer by the external environment. The neoprene rubber layer has outstanding flame retardancy and tear resistance, which can prevent scratches on the material surface and structural damage. The double protection ensures the long-term stable operation of the internal sound insulation and noise reduction functional layer and avoids the decay of noise reduction performance due to material aging. The adhesive layer at the bottom of the base layer is an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, which has strong initial adhesion and good aging resistance. Attached Figure Description
