Abstract

An acoustic treatment panel including a porous acoustically resistive structure which includes at least one external layer which is in contact with the external environment and which has through holes, internal strips including several openings which communicate with the inside of the cells of the panel and connecting canals, interposed between the external layer and the internal strips, which ensure that the floor-section openings communicate with at least one through hole of the external layer.

Claims (17)

1. An acoustic treatment panel comprising:

a porous acoustically resistive structure in contact with an external environment in which during operation sound waves travel;

a reflective layer and at least one cellular structure positioned between the porous acoustically resistive structure and the reflective layer and configured to compartmentalize a zone between the porous acoustically resistive structure and the reflective layer into a plurality of cells;

the porous acoustically resistive structure comprising at least one external layer in contact with the external environment and which has through holes; and

internal strips, each of the internal strips comprising openings which communicate with an inside of the cells and connecting canals, interposed between the external layer and the internal strips, which communicate with at least one of the through holes of the external layer, and with at least one of the openings of one of the internal strips.

2. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 1 , wherein each internal strip comprises two parallel lateral edges and a middle zone interposed between the lateral edges which exhibits the openings communicating with the cells, wherein one of the lateral edges has a swage and wherein the lateral edges of two adjacent internal strips are superposed and assembled, the middle zones of the internal strips being spaced away from the external layer to form the connecting canals.

3. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 1 , wherein each internal strip comprises two parallel lateral edges and a middle zone interposed between the lateral edges which exhibits the openings communicating with the cells and wherein the internal strips are planar and joined together by intermediate strips to form an internal layer, the middle zones of the internal strips being spaced away from the external layer to form the connecting canals.

4. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 1 , wherein the external layer comprises, on a face facing towards the internal strips, channels which are mutually parallel and spaced apart and into which the through holes at least partially open, the internal strips being assembled with the internal layer so as to close each channel in order to obtain connecting canals.

5. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 1 , wherein the acoustic treatment panel comprises foils interposed between the internal strips and the external layer, mutually parallel and spaced apart.

6. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 5 , wherein the foils are oriented parallel to the lateral edges and superposed on these lateral edges.

7. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 5 , wherein the foils are oriented perpendicular to the lateral edges of the internal strips.

8. The acoustic treatment panel according to claim 1 , wherein each cell contains conduits each of which has a first end closed off by a portion of the porous acoustically resistive structure, a second end closed off by a portion of the reflective layer, and at least one opening set away from the porous acoustically resistive structure and configured to cause the inside and an outside of the conduit to communicate, and wherein each opening of the internal strips communicates with one of the conduits.

9. An aircraft comprising an acoustic treatment panel that comprises:

a porous acoustically resistive structure in contact with an external environment in which during operation sound waves travel;

a reflective layer and at least one cellular structure positioned between the porous acoustically resistive structure and the reflective layer and configured to compartmentalize a zone between the porous acoustically resistive structure and the reflective layer into a plurality of cells;

the porous acoustically resistive structure comprising at least one external layer in contact with the external environment and which has through holes; and

internal strips, each of the internal strips comprising openings which communicate with an inside of the cells and connecting canals, interposed between the external layer and the internal strips, which communicate with at least one of the through holes of the external layer, and with at least one of the openings of one of the internal strips.
