Solution Overview

Problem

Current sound absorption sheets face challenges in achieving both effective sound absorption and decorative performance, as they often compromise on soundproofing or fireproofing due to surface decorative materials.

Innovation Solution

A sound absorption sheet comprising a porous substrate with a micro-resonance layer featuring patterned sound absorption holes, formed by rotary screen printing, which provides both sound absorption and decorative capabilities while maintaining air permeability and flame resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a surface decorative material is formed on the sound absorption material, then decorative performance is improved, but soundproofing and fireproofing performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecorative performanceVSAvoidsoundproofing and fireproofing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the decorative function and sound absorption function into a single integrated structure. The embossed pattern on the sound absorption sheet serves dual purposes: providing decorative appearance while simultaneously maintaining sound absorption capability through the patterned sound absorption holes that penetrate both surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The sound absorption sheet is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: sound absorption, decorative purposes, and maintenance of air permeability and fire resistance. The embossed pattern with patterned sound absorption holes enables the sheet to serve as both a functional sound absorption material and an aesthetic decorative element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If a number of perforations are added to block noise, then sound absorption capability is improved, but air permeability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound absorption capabilityVSAvoidair permeability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating patterned sound absorption holes with specific geometric arrangements rather than uniform random perforations. The embossed pattern concentrates the sound absorption function in specific localized areas while maintaining better air permeability in other regions, optimizing the balance between sound absorption and air flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes parameters such as hole size (0.1mm to 20mm), hole density (1% to 60% per unit area), and pitch (0.5mm to 50mm) to achieve the desired balance. By carefully controlling these parameters, the sheet maintains sufficient sound absorption capability while preserving adequate air permeability for ventilation and comfort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
