Automobile sound insulation panel
The present invention provides an automobile sound insulation panel which suitably implements a lightweight sound insulation panel with an expanded sound isolation-target frequency band and improved sound isolation performance. An automobile sound insulation panel includes a first panel member, a second panel member, and an elastic sheet member positioned between the first panel member and the elastic sheet member. The elastic sheet member includes a first projection-recess part. The first panel member abuts on respective upper opening edges of a plurality of recesses that form the first projection-recess part. Individual air layers exist between the second panel member and the elastic sheet member. A continuous air layer exists between the first panel member and the elastic sheet member.
1. An automobile sound insulation panel comprising:
a first panel member;
a second panel member positioned above the first panel member; and
an elastic sheet member positioned between the first panel member and the second panel member, wherein
the elastic sheet member includes a first projection-recess part formed of a plurality of projections and recesses, the second panel member abutting on respective upper opening edges of the plurality of recesses forming the first projection-recess part,
the first panel member includes a second projection-recess part formed of a plurality of projections and recesses, respective upper end surfaces of the plurality of projections forming the second projection-recess part abutting on the elastic sheet member, such that the plurality of projections and recesses of the first projection-recess part are nested within the plurality of projections and recesses of the second projection-recess part,
between the second panel member and the elastic sheet member, respective units of inner space of the plurality of recesses exist as individual air layers independent of one another,
between the first panel member and the elastic sheet member, a plurality of void parts each positioned between two adjacent ones of the plurality of projections are successively provided, to form a continuous air layer greater in volume than the individual air layers, and
a bottom of each of the recesses of the elastic sheet member serves as a vibration membrane which is configured to freely vibrate.
2. The automobile sound insulation panel according to claim 1 , further comprising communication holes communicating with the individual air layers or the continuous air layer, wherein each of the communication holes and each of the individual air layers or the continuous air layer form a Helmholtz resonator.
3. The automobile sound insulation panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a third projection-recess part formed at upper-end surfaces of projections of the plurality of projections and recesses of the second projection-recess part, the third projection-recess part defining a third air layer between the first panel member and the elastic sheet member where projections of the third projection-recess part coincide with concaves formed in the second panel member.
