Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a soundproof structure that can selectively block sound having a specific frequency emitted from equipment, automobiles, and general households and can change the cutoff frequency of the sound in accordance with a change in the frequency of sound to be blocked. The above problem is solved by providing a laminated film, in which two or more films each including one or more holes drilled therein are laminated, and two rigid frames, which fix the laminated film so as to be interposed from both sides of the laminated film, and making at least parts of the one or more holes in the respective films of the laminated film overlap each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A soundproof structure, comprising: a laminated film in which two or more films each comprising one or more holes drilled therein are laminated; and two rigid frames that fix the laminated film so as to be interposed from both sides of the laminated film, wherein at least parts of the one or more holes in the respective films of the laminated film overlap each other, and wherein each rigid frame includes an opening portion which passes through each rigid frame. 2. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , wherein two adjacent films of the two or more films are spaced apart from each other by a spacer. 3. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more films are spaced apart from each other at distances of 100 μm or less. 4. The soundproof structure according to claim 2 , wherein the two or more films are spaced apart from each other at distances of 100 μm or less. 5. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , wherein at least one film of the two or more films is movable, and at least one rigid frame of the two rigid frames is attachable and detachable at the time of movement of the at least one film. 6. The soundproof structure according to claim 2 , wherein at least one film of the two or more films is movable, and at least one rigid frame of the two rigid frames is attachable and detachable at the time of movement of the at least one film. 7. The soundproof structure according to claim 3 , wherein at least one film of the two or more films is movable, and at least one rigid frame of the two rigid frames is attachable and detachable at the time of movement of the at least one film. 8. The soundproof structure according to claim 4 , wherein at least one film of the two or more films is movable, and at least one rigid frame of the two rigid frames is attachable and detachable at the time of movement of the at least one film. 9. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , wherein a size of a cell surrounded by each rigid frame of the two rigid frames is smaller than a wavelength of sound. 10. The soundproof structure according to claim 2 , wherein a size of a cell surrounded by each rigid frame of the two rigid frames is smaller than a wavelength of sound. 11. The soundproof structure according to claim 3 , wherein a size of a cell surrounded by each rigid frame of the two rigid frames is smaller than a wavelength of sound. 12. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , wherein sizes of the one or more holes are 0.1 mm or more and 10 mm or less. 13. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , wherein one film of the two or more films is movable relative to remaining films other than the one film, and a through-hole formed by overlapping of the one or more holes of the two or more films of the laminated film has a hole size adjusted according to a relative movement amount of the one film with respect to the remaining films. 14. The soundproof structure according to claim 13 , further comprising: a moving device that moves the one film relative to the remaining films. 15. The soundproof structure according to claim 14 , wherein the two or more films of the laminated film have one first film, which is the one film, and at least one second film of the remaining films, and the first film moves relative to the second film, and the moving device has a roll that winds the first film, one film of the at least one second film, or at least two films including the first film and one film of the at least one second film and a winding device that winds the first film, the one film of the at least one second film, or the at least two films including the first film and one film of the at least one second film on the roll by rotating the roll. 16. The soundproof structure according to claim 15 , wherein the moving device further includes a gauge provided on the roll, and a movement amount of the first film, the one film of the at least one second film, or the at least two films including the first film and one film of the at least one second film and a hole size of the through-hole are measured by the gauge. 17. An adjustment method of a soundproof structure, comprising: adjusting a hole size of a through-hole, which is formed by overlapping of the one or more holes of the two or more films of the laminated film of the soundproof structure according to claim 1 , by changing relative positions of the two or more films of the laminated film. 18. The adjustment method of a soundproof structure according to claim 17 , wherein the relative positions of the two or more films are changed by moving at least one film of the two or more films. 19. The adjustment method of a soundproof structure according to claim 17 , wherein the two or more films of the laminated film have one first film, which is the one film, and at least one second film of the remaining films, and the first film moves relative to the second film, and the relative positions of the two or more films are changed by rotating a roll that winds the first film, one film of the at least one second film, or at least two films including the first film and one film of the at least one second film so that the first film, the one film of the at least one second film, or the at least two films including the first film and one film of the at least one second film are wound on the roll. 20. The adjustment method of a soundproof structure according to claim 19 , wherein a movement amount of the first film, the one film of the at least one second film, or the at least two films including the first film and one film of the at least one second film and a size of the through-hole are measured by a gauge provided on the roll. 21. The soundproof structure according to claim 1 , further comprising: a soundproof cell configured from the laminated film and the two rigid frames, wherein a plurality of the soundproof cells are arranged in a two-dimensional manner.
