Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To retain a large damping effect in a wide frequency range extending from low frequency band to high frequency band and restrain the resonance magnification in the resonance frequency of a body to be supported by varying the thickness of a flexible part. SOLUTION: A vessel 1 formed of a stirring part 3, a cylindrical part 8 and a flexible part 9 of rubber-like elastic body for connecting the both. The flexible part 9 is formed of a thin part 6 and a thick part 7. A viscous fluid 2 is filled in the vessel 1, and sealed with a lid 5 to provide a spring constant variable viscous fluid sealed damper. A shaft 4 protruded from a body to be support 10 is inserted to the stirring part 3 of the vessel 1. When an external vibration is generated, the flexible part 9 is deformed, and the stirring part 3 moves to stir the viscous fluid 2, whereby a viscous resistance is received to impart a damping effect to the body to be supported. The thickness of the thin part 6 constituting the flexible part is set to 2.5 mm, and the thickness of the thick part 7 is set to 5.5 mm. The thin part 6 is provided on the circumference of the stirring part 3, and the thick part 8 is provided on the circumference of the thin part 6.

2. Description of the Related Art In a viscous fluid-filled damper, as shown in FIG. 6, a shaft 4 is inserted into a viscous fluid 2 filled in a container 1 having a flexible portion 9 made of a rubber-like elastic body. Vibration transmitted from the outside to the supported member 10 is attenuated by viscous flow resistance generated by the movement of the agitated part 3. There are various types of external vibrations, from low to high vibration frequencies and accelerations, and may also have an impact effect. In response to such various vibrations, the viscosity of the viscous fluid-filled damper and the hardness of the rubber-like elastic body of the flexible part are changed by taking into account the weight and balance of the supported body.

A damper filled with a high-viscosity viscous fluid has a high apparent dynamic spring constant, and its amplitude can be reduced by a high resonance frequency and a high damping force. However, for a vibration having a high frequency of 100 Hz or more, the resonance frequency and the damping force are high, so that the effect of lowering the vibration transmissibility is low, that is, the vibration damping effect is reduced.

On the other hand, a damper filled with a low-viscosity viscous fluid is provided near a resonance frequency of a supported member (particularly, 10 to 20 Hz).
(Low frequency), the resonance magnification of the supported member increases, the amplitude of the supported member increases, and the impact caused by the collision between the stirring unit and the container or the lid, or the impact caused by the collision between the supported member and the chassis. Therefore, in the vicinity of this frequency, sound skipping of the disk, malfunction, and the like are likely to occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and has a structure in which the thickness of a flexible portion of a damper is changed to make the spring constant dependent on the amplitude. A variable viscous fluid-filled damper is provided. When the amplitude is relatively small, the thin portion mainly moves, so only the spring constant of the thin portion affects the spring constant of the entire damper. When the amplitude is relatively large, the thick portion also moves, so the spring constant of the thick portion affects the spring constant of the entire damper. Therefore, in a high frequency range where the amplitude is small, the spring constant is small, so that the vibration transmissibility is suppressed low. In a low frequency range where the amplitude is large, the spring constant becomes large and the resonance magnification is suppressed low.

Further, the spring constant variable type viscous member is formed such that the thickness of the flexible portion changes from the agitating portion to the cylindrical portion so as to be thicker or thinner and continuously or stepwise. It is a fluid-filled damper. Furthermore, a viscous fluid-filled damper with a variable spring constant is formed such that the thickness of the flexible portion is switched so as to have a boundary toward the cylindrical portion and change the thickness. Further, the viscous fluid-filled damper is a spring constant variable type in which the ratio of the thickness of the thin portion to the thick portion of the flexible portion is from 1.0: 1.1 to 1.0: 5.0.

The vibrating table 14 is vibrated at a constant acceleration in the vertical direction within a frequency range of 8 to 200 Hz, and
The vibration isolation effect was evaluated by measuring the vibration transmissibility to zero. Resonance magnification to measure the vibration output acceleration a 2 from the supported body to vibration input acceleration a 1 from the excitation table at the resonance frequency, converted by the relational expression 20 Log (a 2 / a 1), also of 100Hz The vibration transmissibility was determined similarly. Example 1 in which the thickness of the flexible portion 9 of Comparative Example 1 was constant.
In Nos. To 6, the reduction of the resonance magnification was confirmed due to the influence of the increase in the spring constant due to the movement of the thick portion 7 near the resonance point having a large amplitude. Further, in the high frequency range (around 100 Hz), which is a vibration proof region, the thin portion 6 mainly moved, so that the same vibration transmissibility as that of Comparative Example 1 was maintained. A vibration damping effect was observed.

The variable spring constant type viscous fluid-filled damper of the present invention has a large damping effect in a wide frequency range from a low frequency range to a high frequency range by changing the thickness of the flexible portion. In addition, the resonance magnification at the resonance frequency of the supported member could be suppressed. Furthermore, when used in actual equipment, it is expected to have the effect of preventing sound skipping near the resonance point and the occurrence of malfunctions, and at high frequencies with small amplitudes, exhibit an attenuation effect due to the flow resistance of the viscous fluid inside. It is possible.
