Abstract

A sound-permeable metal plate, which is a plate processed to have concavity and convexity formed thereon, may include: a plurality of cells protruding from the plate; and a flat base portion formed between the plurality of cells, wherein each of the cells includes a plurality of wall surface parts, which are bent on and protrude from the base portion, and a cover portion extending from end portions of the wall surface parts, and each of the cells has a straight line-shaped slit formed through the plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sound-permeable metal plate, which is a plate processed to have concavity and convexity formed thereon, comprising:
a plurality of cells protruding from the plate; and
a flat base portion formed between the plurality of cells, wherein each of the cells includes a plurality of wall surface parts, which are bent on and protrude from the base portion, and a cover portion extending from end portions of the wall surface parts, and each of the cells has a straight line-shaped slit formed through the plate,
wherein the cover portion is formed to be a polygon having edge portions, a number of which is equal to a number of the plurality of wall surface parts configuring each of the cells, and the slit is formed along at least one of the edge portions, and
wherein at least one of the plurality of wall surface parts configuring each of the cells and the at least one of the edge portions of the cover portion are spaced from each other by slit.

2. The metal plate of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wall surface parts configuring each of the cells are integrally formed to have a shape of a frustum of a polygonal pyramid, in which the farther the wall surface parts are away from the base portion, the closer to each other the wall surface parts become.

3. The metal plate of claim 1 , wherein the slit is formed along at most half of edge portions of the cover pan.

4. The metal plate of claim 1 , wherein a height from the base portion to the cover portion is at least 25% of the largest width of a bottom surface of each of the cells.

5. The metal plate of claim 1 , wherein, in a view oriented perpendicularly to a reference plane in which the base portion is placed, the slit has an area occupying at least 5% of an area of a bottom surface of each of the cells.

6. The metal plate of claim 1 , wherein, in a view oriented perpendicularly to a reference plane in which the base portion is disposed, the cover portion has an area occupying at least 30% of an area of a bottom surface of each of the cells.

7. The metal plate of claim 1 , wherein the plate includes an aluminum material.

8. A sound-absorbing composite plate, comprising:
a sound-permeable metal plate which includes a plurality of cells protruding therefrom and a flat base portion formed between the plurality of cells; and
a sound-absorbing material disposed on one surface side of the sound-permeable metal plate,
wherein each of the cells includes a plurality of wall surface parts, which are bent on and protrude from the base portion, and a cover portion extending from end portions of the wall surface parts, and each of the cells has a straight line-shaped slit formed through the plate,
wherein the cover portion is formed to be a polygon having edge portions, a number of which is equal to a number of the plurality of wall surface parts configuring each of cells, and the slit is formed along at least one of the edge portions, and
wherein at least one of the plurality of wall surface parts configuring each of the cells and the at least one of the edge portions of the cover portion are spaced from each other by the slit.

9. The composite plate of claim 8 , wherein the sound-permeable metal plate includes an aluminum material and the sound-absorbing material includes felt including a fiber.
