Description
Title: Improvements relating to bonded panel structures Description of Invention
This invention is concerned with improvements relating to bonded panel structures.
A conventional bonded panel comprises a corrugated or fluted core, conventionally of heavy-duty paper such as Kraft, and inner and outer layers, conventionally also of heavy-duty paper such Kraft, bonded to the core by a heat-softenable adhesive such as polyethylene. Such a conventional bonded panel may be moulded by the application of heat and pressure, the inner and/or outer layers slipping over the core whilst the moulding takes place, and the adhesive sets on cooling with the panel in its moulded configuration.
Examples of such conventional bonded panel structures may be found in British Patent Specification Nos. 2004810, 2038707, 2029755, 1576396, 1558150, 1575663, 1582539, 1548807, 1532762, 1554073, 1576546, 1576142, 1555882, 1501027.
Such a bonded panel is conventionally used on the interior of motor vehicles, the inner layer being attached, such as by the use of adhesive, by ties, by clips or simple press-fitting as is disclosed in the above-mentioned patent specifications, to the vehicle body surface, and the outer layer being covered by a decorative layer.
Increasing attention is being given to noise suppression within automotive vehicles, and it is one of the various objects of this invention to provide a bonded panel structure which may be utilised within the body of a vehicle which suppresses noise to a greater extent than has heretofore been attained.
According to this invention there is provided a bonded panel structure comprising a corrugated or fluted core layer, and inner and outer layers on ^ opposite sides of the core, being bonded to the core by adhesive, wherein the iv outer layer is provided with a plurality of acoustic apertures.
Preferably the apertures are in the form of holes, typically having a diameter no less than 1mm (i.e. larger than the prickle holes conventionally
provided in such a panel for the escape of hot gases on the interior of the panel during moulding), and preferably being no greater than 8mm, a range of 2 to 5mm being desirable.
Thus where the panel structure after being moulded to a desirable shape is secured within a vehicle body (e.g. the interior of the roof) noise within the body enters the interior of the bonded panel structure through the acoustic apertures, and is so muffled.
The invention is particularly beneficial to bonded panel structures of the type comprising layers of heavy duty paper (such as Kraft, having a weight typically in the order of 100 to 200 grams per square metre) affording a significant part of the core, inner and outer layers.
Preferably the bonded panel structure comprises a decorative layer (e.g. of fabric) bonded to the outer layer, preferably by a heat softenable adhesive in the form of an open mesh or web. In this manner the adhesive does not flow to any great extent into or over the acoustic holes. However surprisingly it has been found that the decorative covering may be secured to the outer surface of the outer layer by a thin layer of adhesive, the adhesive extending over the acoustic holes, and behaving like a drum skin, and in such a configuration the acoustic holes nonetheless carry out a significant degree of acoustic damping.
If desired, to avoid damage to the corrugated layer whilst subjected to high humidity and high temperature for extensive periods of time (as may be encountered during environmental testing) the corrugated layer may comprise a layer of aluminium foil on the outer side thereof (that is, on the side thereof adjacent to the outer layer). In this manner the corrugated layer may be protected, in circumstances where moist warm air enters the interior of the cavity through the acoustic holes.
There will now be given a detailed description, to be read with reference to the accompanying drawings, of a bonded panel structure which is a preferred embodiment of this invention, having been selected for the purposes of illustrating the invention by way of example.
The accompanying drawing is a schematic perspective view of part of the bonded panel structure which is the preferred embodiment of the invention.
The bonded panel structure shown in the accompanying drawings comprises a core layer C, bonded between inner and outer layers A, B respectively, a decorative covering D being secured to the outer side of the layer B.
In use the panel structure is secured, such as to a vehicle roof, with the layer A secured adjacent to the vehicle body, such as by the use of adhesive or ties, the layer D facing the interior of the vehicle.
In the preferred embodiment each of the layers A B and C comprises, as its major constituent, a layer of Kraft, typically having a weight of about 150 grams per square metre, although it will be appreciated that other similar materials may be used. Thus, for the inner and outer layers A, B, there is provided the layer 6 of Kraft, having on the surface adjacent to the core a layer 7 of polyethylene, and having a layer 8 of a lighter weight paper-like material such as Kraft paper 8 secured to the opposite side of the layer 6 by a layer of polyethylene adhesive 9.
In both inner and outer layers the layer 7 of adhesive is facing the core, with the layer of lighter weight material 8 affording the outwardly facing surface.
Conversely, the core layer B comprises simply a layer 6c of heavy duty paper and bonded thereto on the side adjacent to the layer B a lighter weight paper-like material 8c.
Provided in the layer B are a plurality of acoustic holes 10, conveniently being provided by a punching operation, having a diameter of about 3mm, and provided at a spacing of between 5mm to 20mm.
The layer D of decorative material is secured to the outer surface of layer 8b_ by adhesive in the form of an open mesh or web 12, whereby the decorative layer D may be secured in position without any significant degree of blocking of the holes 10.
In this manner it has been found that, by the provision of acoustic holes 10 as described above, the noise absorption factor is increased significantly across the range of frequencies found to be objectionable, specifically in the range 1000 - 2000 hz.
Nonetheless it has been found that, when the decorative layer D is secured to the outer side of the layer 8b_ by a continuous film of adhesive, a significant degree of attenuation is obtained, the film of adhesive extending over the holes 10 and acting as drum skins, in attenuating sound.
Since the acoustic holes 10 are provided in the layer B during manufacture thereof and prior to the bonding of the layer to the core layer C, it will be appreciated that the acoustic holes 10, although being significantly larger than the prickle holes conventionally used, may nonetheless serve the function as the prickle holes, and additional prickle holes need not be provided.
However where it is desired that the panel withstand the effects of high humidity and high temperature for significant periods of time, the core layer C may comprise a layer of aluminium foil, having a thickness within the range 6 to 50 microns, preferably 12 to 28 microns, and desirably about 18 microns, so as to protect the layer 6c. of Kraft from the deleterious effect of such an atmosphere. In such a construction, conveniently the layer of aluminium is interposed between the layers 6c. and 8c.
It is to be appreciated that the accompanying drawing is for the purposes of illustrating the invention, and is not to scale.
The features disclosed in the foregoing description, or the following claims, or the accompanying drawings, expressed in their specific forms or in terms of a means for performing the disclosed function, or a method or process for attaining the disclosed result, as appropriate, may, separately or in any combination of such features, be utilised for realising the invention in diverse forms thereof.
