Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements in devices used as energy absorbers, to mitigate the undesirable effects of sudden blows, blasts or vibrations on bodies or machines.
- an impact absorbing device consisting of a block of cellular elastomeric solid material, which totally encloses one or more cavities or tunnels, which are filled with an elastic fluid, comprising a liquid, grease or jelly blended with a plurality of elastomeric capsules, characterised by the fluid being driven through the cavity or tunnels, away from the impact zone, during an impact on part of one face of the block, with the displaced fluid compressing elastomeric material, adjacent to the impact zone.
- Patent GB 2324352 described impact absorbers consisting of stout, flexible packages filled with large numbers of small, resilient capsules and a matrix liquid. These packages combine the elastomeric properties of a closed cell foam with the viscous damping and hydraulic pressure equalisation properties of a liquid.
- Patent application PCT/GB98/03594 described impact or vibration absorbing devices consisting of a deformable container or flexible package, filled with a mixture of a liquid, grease or jelly fluid and a plurality of resilient capsules, with the device including one or more permeable barriers, characterised by the provision of viscous damping when some of the fluid is forced through small holes in the barrier(s) during violent impacts.
- Patent application PCT/GB98/03594 also described fluid filled impact absorbers which have flexible front faces but are mounted on cellular foam pallets.
- Patent GB2335447 describes impact absorbing building structures.
- Figure 1 depicts a block of elastomeric cellular matrix material which includes a large cavity filled with elastic fluid.
- Figure 2 depicts an impact absorber comprising five overlapping devices, each constructed in a similar manner to that depicted in Figure 1.
- Figure 3 depicts a foot-bed for a shoe, according to the invention. Definitions
- matrix fluid will be used when referring to any liquid, grease or jelly which occupies the void space between an assembly of small resilient capsules in the interior of the impact absorber.
- the matrix fluid can be considered as an incompressible state of matter.
- elastic fluid 1 - will be used when referring to any blend of small resilient capsules and matrix fluid, which, en-masse acts like a compressible fluid.
- elastomeric matrix block will be used to describe a block of elastomeric cellular material, which includes one or more cavities or tunnels, which, according to the present invention, are filled with the elastic fluid.
- the cellular material may have a honeycomb, open or closed cell foam structure.
- small capsules will be used as a relative term and will imply that, at their largest, the capsules just fit inside the cavities or tunnels. In most working examples of the invention the relative size of the capsules will be considerably smaller than this.
- the inventive step described in this patent application is a method for absorbing the energy of impacts, blasts or vibrations, using cushioning blocks, which allow elastomeric material, to the sides of the impact zone, to participate in the energy absorbing process. It differs from the earlier intellectual property described by the present inventor in patents GB 2324352 and GB2335447 and patent application PCT/GB98/03594 (Courtney) in that the elastic fluid is totally enclosed in a cellular solid matrix material.
- the present invention has different impact absorbing and handling characteristics, making it more appropriate for certain applications. These applications will be illustrated by way of examples in what follows.
- Figure 1 depicts a block of elastomeric cellular matrix material, 1 which includes a large cavity 2 filled with elastic fluid, as defined above and described in further detail by the present inventor in patent number GB 2324352. If the elastomeric matrix block is made from permeable material, for example open cell foam, then the walls of the cavity may be sealed or the elastic fluid may be retained inside an elastic flexible bag.
- the matrix block is preferably, but not essentially, covered with a stout, snug fitting, flexible cover 3 which does not stretch significantly during the impact.
- the cover is preferably but not essentially made from woven fabric, in a similar manner to the covers described by the present inventor in patent application PCT/GB98/03594 (Courtney).
- the device rests on a flat rigid surface, 4.
- the front face of the device deforms and elastic fluid is driven to the sides of the impact zone.
- the hydraulic pressure within the matrix fluid exerts compressive stresses upon (i) the resilient capsules within the fluid, causing them to shrink in volume and (ii) exerts stresses on the walls of the cavity, compressing the cellular matrix material. If the cover 3 is omitted, impact energy is also absorbed as the parts of the block to the sides of the impact zone bulge out.
- Figure 2 depicts an impact absorber comprising five devices, 1-5, similar to those described with reference to Figure 1.
- Each of the devices is individually covered with strong low stretch sheet material, to discourage bulging during impacts.
- the devices are overlapped, such that a body impacting at any point of the upper surface, except for the extreme ends, always overlies one or two cavities filled with elastomeric fluid.
- the elastomeric cellular matrix material has a lower stiffness than the elastic fluid.
- the individual devices are bonded to the underlying surface 6 or are linked together by an outer cover or are otherwise bonded together, so that they do not move apart during an impact. Two types of impacts will be considered, the first involving a small mass 7, then a larger mass 8.
- the desired function of the impact absorber is to minimise the peak retarding forces acting on the impacting masses as they come to rest. This means that for both impacts the masses must come to rest just before the impact absorber becomes highly compressed under the impact zone and the impact absorbing material bottoms out.
- the elastic fluid is shifted sideways during the impact, compressing the relatively soft matrix block material to the sides of the impact zone, but the elastic fluid itself is only slightly compressed.
- the larger mass 8 hits the impact absorber, the soft matrix block material bottoms out at an early stage of the impact, throughout the interior of the device, and the s iffer elastic fluid takes over as the dominant energy absorbing material during the remainder of the impact event.
- the net effect is that the larger mass reacts against an impact absorber which exhibits a greater mean uniaxial stiffness than for a small mass impact.
- variable uniaxial stiffness impact absorber which allows the impact absorber to optimise its impact absorbing ability to protect both small, low mass impacting bodies and also larger, higher mass impacting bodies.
- the impact absorber described in this application could be used, for example, as the basis for a vehicle front bumper, which provided good levels of cushioning for pedestrian lower leg impacts and also, for low speed bumper-to-bumper impacts.
- the version of the invention depicted in Figure 2 comprises a plurality of slightly overlapping devices in order to ensure that the comparatively stiff elastomeric fluid contributes a useful degree of impact energy absorbing compression, for larger body impacts.
- a similar enhanced elastic fluid contribution can be achieved using a single, longer impact absorber, similar to that depicted in Figure 1, by including an elastic fluid which offers a very high degree of viscous damping, so that the compression impulse, which travels tlirough the elastic fluid to the sides of the impact zone, dies away rapidly.
- Methods of enhancing the viscous damping to achieve this effect include: (i) employing a highly viscous matrix fluid, (ii) using non-spherical elastomeric capsules which disrupt the flow of matrix fluid, relative to the elastomeric capsules during impact, e.g. capsules having pillow shapes, ridges or edges, (iii) bulking out the matrix fluid using polymeric microspheres, (v) replacing the single interior cavity with a plurality of narrow tunnels which extend throughout the elastomeric matrix block, at right angles to the direction of impact.
- the cavity takes the form of a plurality of tunnels, it is not essential for the tunnels to have a uniform diameter along their length, to be parallel or straight.
- the shape and orientation of the tunnels depends on the specific application for the device. The only essential requirement, for effective functioning, is that the tunnels are positioned, such that they can channel fluid away from the impact zone.
- the tunnels may take any labyrinth form, including being the voids in elastomeric open cell foams.
- this inner foam is physically isolated by a seal or barrier, from the surrounding block of dry matrix solid.
- the mean weight of the impact absorber is reduced because the matrix block is constructed from lower density material than the enclosed elastic fluid.
- the tunnels can be positioned such that a heel impact pumps fluid into the sole, pre-stiffening the elastomeric material under the ball of the foot and so enhancing the spring, when the walker or runner moves forward, with the ball of the foot striking the ground after the heel.
- Shoe foot-beds, according to the present invention will solve foot and lower leg problems in a number of markets, from osteoarthritis sufferers to cricket players, who need footwear fitted with studs, which is comfortable during long periods of standing still, while fielding, but also need to be able to move fast to retrieve balls.
- some at least of the tunnels may be constructed from transparent, high stiffness elastomeric material, exposed to view at the sides of the shoe.
- the elastomeric beads can have a different surface colour to the surrounding matrix liquid, allowing the movements of the elastomeric beads, during a foot impact, to be clearly seen.
- the heel and ball of foot bed pads could of course be made from separate elastomeric matrix blocks with both blocks being linked via common fluid transmission tumiels.
- Figure 3 shows a possible design, with item 1 being the heel, constructed from solid or cellular elastomeric material and item 2 the sole of the foot-bed constructed from elastomeric cellular material.
- Item 3 is a fluid filled cavity, totally enclosed within the heel
- item 4 is a fluid filled cavity, totally enclosed within the sole
- items 5 and 6 are fluid filled tubes which pass between the sole and the heel.
- Items 7 and 8 are optional variable diameter, elastic iris valves, which dilate, to allow the fluid to move quickly from the heel to the sole, during heel strike, but contract in diameter, to slow down the return flow, so that an excess of fluid is retained inside the sole, for a short period, until the ball of the foot hits the ground. Explosives tests show that packaged blends of elastic fluid as described in patent GB 2324352 have the ability to mitigate blast waves.
- blast mitigating building blocks may be manufactured using a suitable matrix block material for example, Airex® high density polyurethane foam.
- Those skilled in the arts of temporary and prefabricated civil engineering product design will be able to design interlocking building block versions of the invention using existing reversible bonding techniques, including tongues and grooves, dovetailing, elastic cords and toggles, straps, touch and close material, clamps and poles which pass through holes in the blocks.
- the blocks may be preprinted or painted on their outer faces with suitable textures and patterns, to fit in with the visual environment in which they are expected to be used.
- the matrix and/or elastic fluid may be pumped into or out of the device on the site where the device is to be used.
- This feature will be of particular interest to engineers building temporary blast proof structures using building blocks, having blast absorbing properties according to the invention.
- two valve and feed pipe systems may be added to each block. The first pipe to allow the injection of fluid and the second to allow the release of trapped air. These roles may be reversed, for pumping out the fluid, during dismantling, after use.
- the feed pipe systems may include filters, to prevent the elastomeric capsules being flushed out of the blocks during the filling or emptying processes. Skilled engineers will be able to design a range of fill-on-site versions of the invention, using existing technology, to satisfy a range of end user needs.
- the feed pipes to adjacent blocks may lock together, allowing a single source of fluid to pump fluid into all of the connected blocks simultaneously or in sequence.
- jfVny visible connecting pipes may have transparent walls, allowing the progress of the fluid through the assembly of blocks to be checked during filling.
- the matrix fluid may be water, allowing the blocks to simultaneously serve as water storage tanks.
- Water sweetening chemicals may be added to the dry mix of elastomeric capsules, at the device manufacturing stage.
- a separate bladder or tank filled with water may be used as or mounted on the roof of a structure of such blocks, with the roof tank being plumbed into the feed pipe system.
- the water may be used as a heat reservoir, with chilled water from the roof tank being pumped into the wall blocks at dawn and warm water from the roof tank being pumped into the wall blocks at dusk.
- the block consists of two parts, on opposite sides of the enclosed elastic fluid. The first block part being a good thermal insulator and the second block part being a good thermal conductor.
- Versions of the invention in which at least some of the elastomeric material in the elastic fluid, consists of gas capsules, having at least one open end, with the gas trapped inside being retained at the boundary with the surrounding liquid by capillary action, iv) Versions of the invention with the beads or capsules in the fluid, having at least two different sizes, with smaller beads or capsules fitting into the void spaces between the larger size beads or capsules, v) Versions of the invention including one or more weak impermeable barriers, which partition the cavity or tunnels into short lengths during gentle impacts, but break down, to allow the fluid to travel further along the tunnels, during violent impacts, vi) Versions of the invention, in which at least some, of any gas filled capsules are bonded to the inner walls of the cavity or tunnels, vii) Versions of the invention, in which, at least some, of any gas filled capsules, inside the cavity or tunnels, are linked together on internal sheets, on open mesh grids of flexible material or on long stands of fibre, viii) Versions
