Integrated Acoustic Absorbing Device for Construction Members
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional construction combinations lack integrated acoustic absorbing devices, which means they are ineffective in absorbing sound and noise, leading to potential disturbance for residents and users.
Innovation Solution
A construction combination that includes an acoustic absorbing device attached to a construction member, featuring a housing with a chamber and couplers, a casing with connectors, and a sound absorbing member anchored within the casing, designed to absorb acoustic sounds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional construction members are used without acoustic absorbing devices, then the construction structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the construction member cannot absorb sound and noise, causing disturbance to residents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the acoustic absorbing device with the construction member into an integrated assembly. The housing is engaged directly onto the construction member (such as a concrete pillar), and the sound absorbing member is placed within the housing, creating a merged structure that provides both structural support and noise absorption functionality, thereby reducing noise disturbance without requiring separate installation steps.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sound insulating blocks are stacked to form sound insulating walls, then acoustic absorption is achieved, but the blocks cannot be attached or engaged into house buildings, roadways, bridges, or other infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is designed with a universal engagement mechanism that can be attached to various types of construction members including concrete pillars, steel beams, and wooden posts. The housing includes an engagement structure that fits onto different construction member shapes and sizes, making the acoustic absorbing device adaptable to multiple applications such as house buildings, roadways, bridges, and other infrastructure, thereby achieving multi-functionality.
