Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a building structure with sound absorption structure. More specifically, it relates a structure of the light weight building material with sound absorption effect.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Generally speaking, human life is always affected by noises anywhere and anytime. More civilized society requests higher quality of life. If staying under noises for long time, human health and mentality will be interrupted. The noises will lead to not only poorer hearing, but also boring mood and ineffective working. Even people will become nervous of noises and expose to the risk of endocrine disruption. Therefore, people should pay much attention to improve the noise problems and the building materials day by day.
A portion of sound energy absorbed by the sound absorption materials is transferred into heat energy to achieve the purpose of absorption. The sound absorption materials are generally porous type. While the sound waves enter into the pores of the building materials. The structure causes multiple reflections and the sound wave interacts with the surfaces of the materials having absorption character, and then the sound energy will mostly be consumed by transferring into heat energy to reduce the sound energy through the materials.
Generally, in the engineering of manufacturing the building materials with absorption character for decreasing noises, the method has some disadvantages as follows. (1) It is inconvenient to perform in construction sites, and difficult to transport by machines. (2) The dusts with powders are excessively higher and the surrounding environments are easily polluted by the powders. (3) The treated surfaces will become untidy and irregular after the spray-on operation. (4) The treated surfaces will peel off when dank. (5) The treated surfaces are hard to clear after the spray-on operation. (6) After the dusts attaching to the surfaces, the efficiency of sound absorption will lower and the dusts will be hard to clear. (7) All operations should be ceased before the spray-on operation is performed in construction sites.
Moreover, the absorption materials are generally the steel plates or cement and asbestos plates with higher rigidity, higher isolation performance. The isolation materials are tightly arranged and the spaces are formed to isolate from the sound source. Those materials with isolation character are amounted in aseismatic rubbers with wider thickness between frames, such as beams, in order to avoid the sound fluctuations from transmitting within the materials.
However, the mounting engineering amounts and mounting components become much numerous because the aseismatic rubbers for fluctuated isolation and steel plates for sound isolation are necessary to those frames. Therefore, these isolated structures have larger size in volume and occupy wider space, but it is difficult to dimension to fit the spaces with various sizes.
As above-mentioned description, the present invention provides a structure of light weight building material with absorption and isolation character to overcome these disadvantages.
