Decoupling element for reducing structure-borne noise, particularly for use in a heat shield system
A decoupling element for reducing structure-borne noise, particularly for use in a heat shield system, having a sleeve element with an insertion opening for the insertion of a fastener for fastening to a partner fastener, wherein the insertion opening extends in an axial direction of the sleeve element and the sleeve element has collars protruding in a radial direction, which are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction, wherein between the collars, a damping element is positioned, which extends radially outward beyond the collars and is provided to be fastened to a heat-shielding part by means of a fastening element, and the damping element is embodied as a metal wire structure, wherein the damping element is positioned so that it is elastically prestressed in the axial direction in a gap between the collars of the sleeve element.
1. A decoupling element for reducing structure-borne noise, comprising:
a sleeve element with an insertion opening for insertion of a fastener for fastening to a partner fastener, wherein the insertion opening extends in an axial direction of the sleeve element and the sleeve element has collars protruding in a radial direction, which are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction,
wherein between the collars, a damping element is positioned, which extends radially outward beyond the collars and is provided to be fastened to a heat-shielding part by a fastening element, and the damping element is embodied as a metal wire structure, wherein the damping element is positioned so that it is elastically prestressed in the axial direction in a gap between the collars of the sleeve element, wherein for the axial prestressing of the damping element itself, at least one of the collars of the sleeve element has at least one stamped area, which locally reduces a distance between the collars in the axial direction, and wherein the collar having the at least one stamped area has a smaller wall thickness measured in the axial direction than a wall thickness of the other collar measured in the axial direction against which the damping element is pressed by the at least one stamped area.
2. The decoupling element according to claim 1 , wherein the axial prestressing of the damping element occurs through elastic deformation of the damping element itself.
3. The decoupling element according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one stamped area is annular, dot-shaped, or a linear stamped area, which forms a projection on at least one of the collars, wherein the projection projects in a direction toward the other collar and reduces the distance between the collars.
4. The decoupling element according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the projection of the stamped area corresponds to approximately 1/20 to ⅕ of a thickness of the damping element measured in the axial direction.
5. The decoupling element according to claim 1 , wherein the damping element is positioned spaced apart from the sleeve element on a radial inside.
6. The decoupling element according to claim 1 , wherein the projection for the elastic deformation of the damping element is embodied as pointing from a first collar of the sleeve element into the gap between the first collar and a second collar in the axial direction toward the second collar.
