Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a sound insulating sheet member that has high sound-insulating performance which exceeds mass law while being relatively light weight, that is highly flexible in design, excellent in versatility, and easy to manufacture so that productivity and economic efficiency can be improved, and a sound insulating structural body or the like using the same. The object thereof is achieved by using a sound insulating sheet member comprising at least a sheet having rubber elasticity and a plurality of resonant portions, wherein the resonant portions are provided in contact with a sheet surface of the sheet, each of the resonant portions including a base part and a weight part, and the weight part being supported by the base part and having a larger mass than the base part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sound insulating sheet member comprising at least a sheet having rubber elasticity and a plurality of resonant portions,
Wherein the resonant portions are provided in contact with a sheet surface of the sheet, each of the resonant portions including a base part and a weight part, and the weight part being supported by the base part and having a larger mass than the base part,
Wherein each resonant portion comprises a single weight part, wherein each resonant portion is individually provided with the single weight part, and
Wherein at least a part of the weight part is embedded in the base part on a leading end side of the resonant portion.

2. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet includes at least one selected from a group consisting of thermosetting or photocurable elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers.

3. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet has a Young's modulus of from 0.01 MPa to 100 MPa.

4. The sound insulating sheet manner according to claim 1 , wherein the base part includes at least one selected from a group consisting of thermosetting or photocurable elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers, thermosetting or photocurable resins, and thermoplastic resins.

5. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet and the resonant: portions are an integrally molded article, and both together include at least one selected from the group consisting of thermosetting or photocurable elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers.

6. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , wherein the weight part includes at least one selected from a group consisting; of metals, alloys, and inorganic glasses.

7. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , wherein a center of gravity of the resonant portions is located on the leading end sides thereof rather than at least the center in the height direction of the resonant portions.

8. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , wherein the weight part includes a protruding part provided toward the base part.

9. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one more rib-like projecting portions, wherein the rib-like projecting portions are provided in contact with the sheet surface of the sheet, and have a height higher than the resonant portions in a sheet normal direction.

10. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 9 , wherein the rib-like projecting portions are provided so as to extend in a sheet length direction of the sheet.

11. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 9 , wherein a plurality of the rib-like projecting portions are spaced apart along the sheet length direction of the sheet.

12. The sound insulating sheet member according to claim 9 , wherein the sheet, the resonant portions, and the rib-like projecting portions are an integrally molded article, and all together include at least one selected from the group consisting of thermosetting or photocurable elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers.

13. A sound insulating structural body comprising at least the sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 and a support body, wherein the support body is provided in contact with at least one surface of the sheet of the sound insulating sheet member, and supports the sheet.

14. The sound insulating structural body according to claim 13 , wherein the support body has a Young's modulus of 1 GPa or more.

15. A sound insulating structural body comprising the sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 and a flame retardant and/or nonflammable member.

16. A sound insulating structural body that is a layered body comprising the sound insulating sheet member according to claim 1 .

17. A method for manufacturing a sound insulating sheet member, comprising the following steps of:
1 ) preparing a mold provided with a plurality of cavities and arranging an individual weight in each of the plurality of cavities provided in the mold;
2) pouring a resin material and/or polymer material in the cavities;
3) curing the poured resin material and/or polymer material; and
4) releasing the resulting cured article from the mold.

18. The method for manufacturing a sound insulating sheet member according to claim 17 , wherein bottoms of the cavities are hemispherical.
