Description

(54) A VIBRATION ISOLATION ASSEMBLY (71) We, DEERE & COMPANY, a corporation organised and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, of Moline, Illinois 61265, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to a vibration isolation assembly of a member from a base and particularly to such an assembly in which a cover is vibration isolated from an internal combustion engine. The invention is an improvement in, or modification of, that described and claimed in the complete specification of our co-pending application number 18625/77 (Serial No. 1582147).
In particular we have claimed in that specification an assembly for vibration isolation of a member from a base which comprises the base, the member mounted on the base, a plurality of securing means, each having a head, securing the member to the base, a plurality of resiliently compressible vibration isolating elements each compressed between a head and the member, and a resilient vibration isolating gasket compressed between the member and the base, the static spring rate of the plurality of resiliently compressible elements being within the range one half to twice that of the gasket.
According to the present invention a vibration isolation assembly comprises an assembly according to any of claims 1 to 10 in the complete specification of our co-pending application number 18625/77 (Serial No.
1582147) in which the plurality of resiliently compressible elements comprises a plurality of resilient protruding sleeves for shank portions of the securing means, the sleeves being integral with the gasket and extending through the member, and the gasket having corresponding through-passages therein for the shank portions of the securing means aligned with the sleeves.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which: Figure 1 is a side view of an assembly for vibration isolation of a cover from an engine; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 2--2 of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 3--3 of Figure 1; Figure 4 is a side view of an alternative assembly for vibration isolation of the cover from the engine; Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 5--5 of Figure 4; Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 6--6 of Figure 4; and Figure 7 is an isometric view of a portion of the assembly of Figure 4.
Referring now to Figure 1, there is shown a vibration isolation assembly 10 which includes a vibratable base in the form of an engine 12 having a cavity or opening 14 provided therein, a gasket 16 encircling the opening 14, and a cover 18 covering the opening 14 and secured to the engine 12 by bolts 22 passing through washers 20.
In Figure 2, there is shown a cross-section of the gasket 16 with the bolt 22 in an untightened position. The bolt 22 having a bolt head 24 and a threaded portion 26 is lightly threaded into a threaded hole 28 in the engine 12. The gasket 16 includes a pair of oblong bead-shaped, i.e. H-shaped, sealing portions 30 and 32 which have similar cross-sections and which are connected by a rectangular flange portion 34. The flange portion 34 is integral with a plurality of resilient sleeves or cylindrical protrusions 36 axially perpendicular to the plane of the bead-shaped portions 30 and 32. Each of the protrusions 36 has a through-passage 37 in which is moulded a non-resilient sleeve 38 which is generally metallic. The protusions 36 which taper toward the bolt heads 24 further have annular relief grooves 40 provided therearound proximate the flange portions 34, of substantially the same diameter as clearance holes 42 provided in the cover 18 so as to provide shoulders which abut the upper face of the cover 18.
As may be seen in Figure 3, when the bolt 22 is tightened into the threaded hole 28 until the washer 20 abuts the sleeve 38, the gasket 16 will be compressed until the beadshaped portions 30 and 32 are deformed to form sealing surfaces 46 and 48, and 50 and 52, respectively, and the protrusion 36 will be deformed into a convoluted configuration or grommet as designated by the numeral 44.
For assembly, the protrusions 36 are first press fitted into the clearance holes 42 in the cover 18 and held in place thereby. The cover 18, with the gasket 16 held in place, is then positioned against the vibratable base 12 and the bolts 22, encircled by the washers 20, are inserted through the prtrusions 36 and the sleeves 38 to be threaded into the threaded holes 28. As the bolts 22 are tightened down to a position set by the length of the sleeve 38, the gasket 16 will deform so as to form the convolutions 44 above the cover and the sealing surfaces 46, 48, 50 and 52 between the cover 18 and the base 12.
The durometer of the gasket 16 as well as the wall thickness of the protrusions 36 are selected so as to provide equal spring rates between the washer 20 and the cover 18 and between the cover 18 and the vibratable base 12 as explained in greater detail in the specification of our said co-pending patent application. Furthermore, as also explained in that specification, the minimum compression of the gasket 16 between the cover 18 and the vibratable base 12 is 10% of the uncompressed height. Thus the sleeve 38 is sized accordingly.
Referring now to Figure 4, there is shown a vibration isolation assembly 110 which includes a vibratable engine or base 112 having an engine cavity or opening 114 provided therein, a gasket 116 encircling the opening 114, and a cover 118 covering the opening 114 and secured to the vibratable base 112 by bolts 122 passing through washers 120.
In Figure 5, there is shown a cross-section of the gasket 116 which includes an oblong bead-shaped sealing portion 130 with the major axis of the oblong perpendicular to the surface of the base 112 and a stabilizing band 132 embedded in the sealing portion 130 which is of a material, such as a metal, which is rigid enough to withstand any tendency of the major axis of the sealing portion 130 to move out of perpendicularity with the surface of the base 112.
Figure 6 shows a cross-section of the gas ket 116 in the region of one of the bolts 122 which is screwed into a threaded hole 128 in the base 112. In this region, the gasket 116 includes a flange portion 134 encircled by the sealing portion 130 and having one of a plurality of cylindrical protrusions 136 which are positioned axially perpendicular to the flange portion 134 and perpendicular to the plane of a closed loop defined by the gasket 116. The protrusion 136 and the flange portion 134 contain a through-hole into which is moulded a cylindrical sleeve 138. The protrusions 136 further have an annular relief groove 140 provided therearound proximate the flange portion 134, of substantially the same diameter as clearance holes 142 provided in the cover 118.
The bolt 122 is shown tightened into the threaded hole 128 until the washer 20 abuts the sleeve 138 compressing the gasket 116 until the oval bead-shaped sealing portion 130 is deformed to form sealing surfaces 146 and 148 and the protrusion 136 is deformed into a convoluted configuration or isolating grommet as designated by the numeral 144.
Figure 7 shows an isometric of a portion of the gasket 116 in the uncompressed condition in the region of one of the protrusions 136.
The assembly 110 is fitted together in a similar way to the assembly 10 as described above in relation to Figures 1 to 3.

    further have annular relief grooves 40 provided therearound proximate the flange portions 34, of substantially the same diameter as clearance holes 42 provided in the cover 18 so as to provide shoulders which abut the upper face of the cover 18.
    As may be seen in Figure 3, when the bolt 22 is tightened into the threaded hole 28 until the washer 20 abuts the sleeve 38, the gasket 16 will be compressed until the beadshaped portions 30 and 32 are deformed to form sealing surfaces 46 and 48, and 50 and 52, respectively, and the protrusion 36 will be deformed into a convoluted configuration or grommet as designated by the numeral 44.
    For assembly, the protrusions 36 are first press fitted into the clearance holes 42 in the cover 18 and held in place thereby. The cover 18, with the gasket 16 held in place, is then positioned against the vibratable base 12 and the bolts 22, encircled by the washers 20, are inserted through the prtrusions 36 and the sleeves 38 to be threaded into the threaded holes 28. As the bolts 22 are tightened down to a position set by the length of the sleeve 38, the gasket 16 will deform so as to form the convolutions 44 above the cover and the sealing surfaces 46, 48, 50 and 52 between the cover 18 and the base 12.
    The durometer of the gasket 16 as well as the wall thickness of the protrusions 36 are selected so as to provide equal spring rates between the washer 20 and the cover 18 and between the cover 18 and the vibratable base
    12 as explained in greater detail in the specification of our said co-pending patent application. Furthermore, as also explained in that specification, the minimum compression of the gasket 16 between the cover 18 and the vibratable base 12 is 10% of the uncompressed height. Thus the sleeve 38 is sized accordingly.
    Referring now to Figure 4, there is shown a vibration isolation assembly 110 which includes a vibratable engine or base 112 having an engine cavity or opening 114 provided therein, a gasket 116 encircling the opening 114, and a cover 118 covering the opening
    114 and secured to the vibratable base 112 by bolts 122 passing through washers 120.
    In Figure 5, there is shown a cross-section of the gasket 116 which includes an oblong bead-shaped sealing portion 130 with the major axis of the oblong perpendicular to the surface of the base 112 and a stabilizing band
    132 embedded in the sealing portion 130 which is of a material, such as a metal, which is rigid enough to withstand any tendency of the major axis of the sealing portion 130 to move out of perpendicularity with the surface of the base 112.
    Figure 6 shows a cross-section of the gas ket 116 in the region of one of the bolts 122 which is screwed into a threaded hole 128 in the base 112. In this region, the gasket 116 includes a flange portion 134 encircled by the sealing portion 130 and having one of a plurality of cylindrical protrusions 136 which are positioned axially perpendicular to the flange portion 134 and perpendicular to the plane of a closed loop defined by the gasket 116. The protrusion 136 and the flange portion 134 contain a through-hole into which is moulded a cylindrical sleeve 138. The protrusions 136 further have an annular relief groove 140 provided therearound proximate the flange portion 134, of substantially the same diameter as clearance holes 142 provided in the cover 118.
    The bolt 122 is shown tightened into the threaded hole 128 until the washer 20 abuts the sleeve 138 compressing the gasket 116 until the oval bead-shaped sealing portion 130 is deformed to form sealing surfaces 146 and 148 and the protrusion 136 is deformed into a convoluted configuration or isolating grommet as designated by the numeral 144.
    Figure 7 shows an isometric of a portion of the gasket 116 in the uncompressed condition in the region of one of the protrusions 136.
    The assembly 110 is fitted together in a similar way to the assembly 10 as described above in relation to Figures 1 to 3.
