Description

本発明は、流体封入式防振装置に係り、特に、非圧縮性流体が封入された複数の液室を有し、それら複数の液室間での流体の流動作用に基づいて防振効果を得るようにした流体封入式防振装置の改良された構造に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a fluid-filled vibration isolator, and in particular, has a plurality of liquid chambers filled with an incompressible fluid, and has a vibration-proof effect based on the fluid flow action between the plurality of liquid chambers. The present invention relates to an improved structure of a fluid-filled vibration isolator.

従来から、振動伝達系を構成する部材間に介装される防振連結体乃至は防振支持体の一種として、第一の取付部材と第二の取付部材とを本体ゴム弾性体で連結すると共に、この本体ゴム弾性体を壁部の一部として、非圧縮性流体が封入された第一の流体室を形成し、更に仕切部材を間にして、第一の流体室とは反対側に、非圧縮性流体が封入された第二の流体室を形成する一方、かかる仕切部材に対して、それら第一及び第二の流体室を相互に連通可能な透孔を設け、更にこの透孔の全体を覆うようにして透孔を遮断し得る可動板を配置すると共に、可動板の外周部を収容して、外周部に沿って延び、可動板を第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間において一定距離だけ自由に移動可能とする、可動板の外周部の両側に可動板を介して対向位置する壁部を備えた保持部を設けてなる流体封入式防振装置が、知られている。   Conventionally, as a kind of anti-vibration coupling body or anti-vibration support body interposed between members constituting the vibration transmission system, a first mounting member and a second mounting member are coupled by a main rubber elastic body. In addition, the main rubber elastic body is used as a part of the wall portion to form a first fluid chamber in which an incompressible fluid is sealed, and a partition member is interposed between the main fluid elastic body and the first fluid chamber. The partition member is provided with a through-hole that allows the first and second fluid chambers to communicate with each other, and forms a second fluid chamber filled with an incompressible fluid. A movable plate capable of blocking the through-hole is disposed so as to cover the entire surface of the movable plate, and the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate is accommodated and extended along the outer peripheral portion. It is possible to move freely between the chambers by a certain distance. Opposite positions on both sides of the outer periphery of the movable plate via the movable plate That the wall of the fluid filled type vibration damping device formed by providing a holder having a are known.

そして、かくの如き構造を有する流体封入式防振装置にあっては、振動の入力による可動板の移動に伴って、透孔を通じて第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間を流通せしめられる流体の流動作用に基づいて、ゴム弾性体だけでは得られ難い防振効果を容易に得ることが出来ることから、例えば自動車用エンジンマウントやボデーマウント等への適用が検討されている。   In the fluid-filled vibration isolator having such a structure, the fluid flows between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber through the through holes as the movable plate is moved by the input of vibration. Based on the fluid action of the fluid to be squeezed, it is possible to easily obtain an anti-vibration effect that is difficult to obtain with only a rubber elastic body. Therefore, application to, for example, automobile engine mounts and body mounts has been studied.

ところで、このような防振装置では、振動荷重の入力によって、可動板が第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間で移動せしめられる際に、仕切部材に設けられた保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに対して接触せしめられることにより、可動板の移動量が規制されるようになっているのであるが、かかる壁部に対する可動板の接触により生ずる衝撃力に起因して、起振力が発生し、その結果、仕切部材やそれと接触する他部材等の共振が誘発されて、異音が生ずるといった問題が内在していた。そして、衝撃的な大荷重が入力せしめられた際には、可動板が仕切部材の壁部に対して強く打ち当たるために、打音をも含む、より大きな異音が発生し、それが特に大きな問題となっていたのである。   By the way, in such a vibration isolator, when the movable plate is moved between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber by the input of the vibration load, the opposing of the holding portion provided in the partition member. The amount of movement of the movable plate is regulated by being brought into contact with each of the wall portions, but it is caused by the impact force generated by the contact of the movable plate with the wall portion. As a result, a vibration force is generated, and as a result, resonance of the partition member and other members in contact with the partition member is induced, and there is a problem that abnormal noise is generated. When a shocking large load is input, the movable plate strongly hits against the wall portion of the partition member, so that a larger abnormal noise including a hitting sound is generated. It was a big problem.

そこで、そのような異音の発生の防止を図るために、仕切部材を特別な構造をもって構成してなる流体封入式防振装置が、提案されている(例えば、下記特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, in order to prevent such abnormal noise from occurring, a fluid-filled vibration isolator in which the partition member has a special structure has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

すなわち、かかる防振装置では、仕切部材が、高さの低い片側有底の円筒体からなる二つの仕切体を有し、それら二つの仕切体が、可動板を間に挟んで、軸方向に互いに重ね合わされて、組み付けられることにより、内部に、可動板が軸方向に移動可能に収容された、一つの組付品として構成されている。また、かかる仕切部材においては、可動板にて覆われる各仕切体の中央部分に、複数の通孔が周方向に隣り合うように設けられて、それら各通孔により、仕切部材を貫通する透孔が構成されていると共に、それら隣り合う通孔同士の間に放射状に延びるアーム部がそれぞれ形成されている。そして、一方の仕切体における複数のアーム部のうちの幾つかのものに対して、突条形態を呈するリブが、アーム部の長さ方向に沿って互いに異なる長さをもって延びるように一体形成されている。   That is, in such an anti-vibration device, the partition member has two partition bodies made of a single-bottomed cylindrical body having a low height, and these two partition bodies sandwich the movable plate in the axial direction. By being superimposed on each other and assembled, a movable plate is accommodated therein so as to be movable in the axial direction. Further, in such a partition member, a plurality of through holes are provided in the central portion of each partition body covered with the movable plate so as to be adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, and each of the through holes penetrates the partition member. Holes are formed, and radially extending arm portions are formed between the adjacent through holes. And the rib which exhibits a protrusion form with respect to some of the several arm parts in one partition is integrally formed so that it may extend with mutually different length along the length direction of an arm part. ing.

かくして、かくの如き構造とされた仕切部材を有する防振装置にあっては、仕切部材を構成する一方の仕切体の底部に、互いに長さの異なるリブが設けられているため、可動板が、振動入力により移動せしめられた際に、一方の仕切体の底部に接触するタイミングが部分的に異ならしめられ、それによって、可動板の仕切部材との接触により生ずる衝撃力が、可動板の全体が仕切部材に対して同時に接触する場合よりも、有利に小さくされる。そして、その結果、かかる衝撃力に起因して生ずる起振力が減少せしめられて、仕切部材の共振等による異音の発生の防止が図られるようになっているのである。   Thus, in the vibration isolator having the partition member having such a structure, since the ribs having different lengths are provided at the bottom of one partition constituting the partition member, the movable plate is When moving by vibration input, the timing of contact with the bottom of one of the partitions is partially made different, so that the impact force generated by the contact of the movable plate with the partition member is Is advantageously made smaller than in the case of simultaneously contacting the partition member. As a result, the vibration force generated due to the impact force is reduced, and the generation of abnormal noise due to the resonance of the partition member and the like can be prevented.

ところが、このような従来の流体封入式防振装置においては、上記の如き異音の発生防止を図るためのリブが、仕切部材を構成する二つの仕切体のうちの一方のものだけにしか設けられておらず、それ故、可動板が他方の仕切体に接触せしめられた際に生ずる異音の発生を何等防止することが出来ないといった欠点が存していた。また、かかる従来装置では、十分な異音の発生防止効果を得る上で、リブ同士の間の長さの較差が適切な値となるように、各リブの長さを設計しなければならず、それが極めて面倒であるといった不具合もあった。しかも、従来装置にあっては、例えば、可動板が、リブを有する一方の仕切体に接触せしめられたときに、それら可動板とリブとの間に隙間が形成され易く、そのために、可動板と仕切体との間のシール性が十分に確保され難いといった問題も、内在していたのである。   However, in such a conventional fluid-filled vibration isolator, the ribs for preventing the generation of abnormal noise as described above are provided only on one of the two partitions constituting the partition member. Therefore, there has been a drawback that it is impossible to prevent any abnormal noise generated when the movable plate is brought into contact with the other partition. Further, in such a conventional device, the length of each rib must be designed so that the difference in length between the ribs is an appropriate value in order to obtain a sufficient effect of preventing the generation of abnormal noise. There was also a problem that it was extremely troublesome. Moreover, in the conventional apparatus, for example, when the movable plate is brought into contact with one partition having the ribs, a gap is easily formed between the movable plate and the ribs. There was also a problem that it was difficult to ensure sufficient sealing between the partition and the partition.

特許第2875723号公報Japanese Patent No. 2875723

ここにおいて、本発明は、上述せる如き事情を背景にして為されたものであって、その解決課題とするところは、振動の入力時における異音の発生の防止が、より容易に且つより確実に図られ得るようにした流体封入式防振装置の改良された構造を提供することにある。   Here, the present invention has been made in the background as described above, and the problem to be solved is that it is easier and more reliable to prevent the generation of abnormal noise during vibration input. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved structure of a fluid-filled type vibration damping device that can be realized as described above.

以下、かかる課題を解決するために為された本発明の態様について記載する。   Hereinafter, the aspect of this invention made in order to solve this subject is described.

本発明の第一の態様は、第一の取付部材と第二の取付部材とを本体ゴム弾性体で連結すると共に、該本体ゴム弾性体を壁部の一部として、非圧縮性流体が封入された第一の流体室を形成し、更に仕切部材を間にして、該第一の流体室とは反対側に、非圧縮性流体が封入された第二の流体室を形成する一方、該仕切部材に対して、それら第一及び第二の流体室を相互に連通可能な透孔を設け、更に該透孔の全体を覆うようにして該透孔を遮断し得る可動板を配置すると共に、該可動板の外周部を収容して、該外周部に沿って延び、該可動板を前記第一の流体室と前記第二の流体室との間において一定距離だけ自由に移動可能とする、該可動板の外周部の両側に該外周部を介して対向位置する壁部を備えた保持部を設けてなる流体封入式防振装置において、前記仕切部材に設けられた前記保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに、該保持部内と前記第一の流体室又は前記第二の流体室とを連通する貫通孔を、前記可動板の周方向に所定距離を隔てて、且つ前記透孔と前記可動板の外周端との間に位置するように、複数設けると共に、該貫通孔の最大開口幅(W)と、該可動板の周方向において互い隣り合う該貫通孔同士の間の距離(L)の比(W/L)が、1/16〜1/2となるように構成したことを、特徴とする。   In the first aspect of the present invention, the first mounting member and the second mounting member are connected to each other by a main rubber elastic body, and the main rubber elastic body is used as a part of a wall portion so that an incompressible fluid is enclosed. A first fluid chamber formed on the opposite side of the first fluid chamber with a partition member interposed therebetween, and a second fluid chamber in which an incompressible fluid is enclosed, The partition member is provided with a through hole that allows the first and second fluid chambers to communicate with each other, and a movable plate that can block the through hole is disposed so as to cover the entire through hole. , Accommodating the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate, extending along the outer peripheral portion, and allowing the movable plate to freely move a fixed distance between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber. A fluid-filled vibration isolator comprising a holding portion having wall portions opposed to each other through the outer peripheral portion on both sides of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate A through hole communicating with the inside of the holding portion and the first fluid chamber or the second fluid chamber is formed in each of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion provided in the partition member, and the movable plate And a plurality of openings provided at a predetermined distance in the circumferential direction and between the through hole and the outer peripheral end of the movable plate, and a maximum opening width (W) of the through hole, It is characterized in that the ratio (W / L) of the distance (L) between the through holes adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is 1/16 to 1/2.

すなわち、このような本態様にあっては、可動板が、振動荷重の入力によって第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間で移動せしめられた際に、保持部内での可動板の外周部の移動に伴って、保持部内と第一の流体室内、及び保持部内と第二の流体室内とのそれぞれの間で、非圧縮性流体が、仕切部材における保持部の対向する壁部に設けられた複数の貫通孔を通じて、流動せしめられるようになる。そして、このとき、かかる可動板の外周部のうち、保持部の壁部における貫通孔形成部位と対向する部位が、非圧縮性流体の流動作用によって、第一の流体室側又は第二の流体室側に向かって押圧されて、可動板の外周部のうち、保持部の壁部における貫通孔形成部位とは対向しない部位よりも早く、各壁部に接触せしめられる。   That is, in this embodiment, when the movable plate is moved between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber by the input of the vibration load, the movable plate in the holding portion is moved. Along with the movement of the outer peripheral portion, incompressible fluid flows between the holding portion and the first fluid chamber, and between the holding portion and the second fluid chamber, on the wall portion of the partition member facing the holding portion. It can be made to flow through the plurality of through holes provided. At this time, the portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate facing the through hole forming portion in the wall portion of the holding portion is the first fluid chamber side or the second fluid by the flow action of the incompressible fluid. It is pressed toward the chamber side and is brought into contact with each wall portion earlier than a portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate that does not face the through hole forming portion in the wall portion of the holding portion.

これによって、本態様では、振動入力時に、可動板の外周部が保持部の壁部に接触するタイミングが、可動板の外周部の周上で不均一なものとなり、以て、可動板の外周部が、保持部の壁部に対して、全周に亘って同時に接触せしめられることが有利に回避され得る。その結果、保持部の壁部に対する可動板の外周部の接触によって生ずる衝撃力が、可動板の全体が仕切部材に対して同時に接触する場合よりも、有利に小さくされる。   Thus, in this aspect, when the vibration is input, the timing at which the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate contacts the wall portion of the holding portion becomes nonuniform on the outer periphery of the movable plate, and thus the outer periphery of the movable plate. It can be advantageously avoided that the part is brought into contact with the wall part of the holding part simultaneously over the entire circumference. As a result, the impact force generated by the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate with the wall portion of the holding portion is advantageously made smaller than when the entire movable plate contacts the partition member at the same time.

また、本態様においては、貫通孔の最大開口幅(W)と、可動板の周方向において互い隣り合う貫通孔同士の間の距離(L)の比(W/L)が、特定の範囲内の値となるように構成されていることで、複数の貫通孔が、保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに対して、可動板の周方向において互いに十分な距離を隔てた位置に、比較的に小さな開口幅をもって形成されている。それ故、例えば、隣り合う貫通孔同士の距離が小さいために、或いは各貫通孔の開口幅が大きいために、振動入力時に、可動板の外周部の全体が、各貫通孔を通じて流動せしめられる流体にて押圧されて、保持部の壁部に対して同時に接触せしめられるようなことも、効果的に阻止され得る。   In this aspect, the ratio (W / L) of the maximum opening width (W) of the through hole and the distance (L) between the through holes adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the movable plate is within a specific range. The plurality of through holes are relatively spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the movable plate with respect to each of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion. Are formed with a small opening width. Therefore, for example, because the distance between adjacent through holes is small or because the opening width of each through hole is large, the fluid that allows the entire outer peripheral portion of the movable plate to flow through each through hole at the time of vibration input. It is possible to effectively prevent the pressure from being pressed at the same time and being simultaneously brought into contact with the wall portion of the holding portion.

さらに、本態様では、各貫通孔の開口幅が比較的に小さくされているところから、振動の入力により、可動板の外周部が、保持部の対向する壁部のうちの一方に設けられた貫通孔を通じて保持部内に流入せしめられる流体にて押圧されて、他方の壁部側に向かって移動せしめられる際に、保持部内の流体が、かかる他方の壁部に設けられた貫通孔内を、開口幅が小さくされている分だけ大きくされた流動抵抗の下で、第一の流体室内や第二の流体室内に向かって流動せしめられるようになる。これによっても、保持部の壁部に対する可動板の外周部の接触によって生ずる衝撃力が、有利に小さくされ得る。   Further, in this aspect, since the opening width of each through hole is relatively small, the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate is provided on one of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion by the input of vibration. When pressed by the fluid that flows into the holding portion through the through hole and moved toward the other wall, the fluid in the holding portion passes through the through hole provided in the other wall. Under the flow resistance increased by the opening width, the fluid can flow toward the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber. Also by this, the impact force generated by the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate with the wall portion of the holding portion can be advantageously reduced.

しかも、かかる本態様においては、可動板の外周部が、保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに対して全周に亘って同時に接触せしめられることを防止するために、基本的には、それら各壁部に、複数の貫通孔が、個々のものの大きさが特に限定されることなく設けられているだけであって、また、そのような貫通孔は、可動板の外周部の両側にそれぞれ位置する壁部の両方に設けられている。   In addition, in this aspect, in order to prevent the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate from being simultaneously brought into contact with each of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion over the entire circumference, each of them is basically provided. A plurality of through holes are merely provided in the wall portion without any particular limitation on the size of the individual ones, and such through holes are located on both sides of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate. It is provided on both of the walls.

それ故、例えば、保持部の対向する壁部のうちの一方のみに、所定の較差をもって互いに異なる長さとされた突条形態を呈するリブを設けた構造を有する、前記せる従来装置とは異なって、振動の入力による流体の流動作用により、可動板が、第一の流体室側に移動せしめられた場合と第二の流体室側に移動せしめられた場合の何れの場合にあっても、保持部の各壁部に対する可動板の外周部の全周に亘る同時接触が、面倒な設計作業を要することなく、容易に且つ確実に回避され得る。   Therefore, for example, unlike the above-described conventional apparatus, which has a structure in which only one of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion is provided with ribs having ridge shapes having different lengths with a predetermined difference. The movable plate is held regardless of whether the movable plate is moved to the first fluid chamber side or the second fluid chamber side by the fluid flow action by the vibration input. Simultaneous contact over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral part of the movable plate with respect to each wall part of the part can be easily and reliably avoided without requiring a troublesome design work.

従って、かくの如き本態様にあっては、振動入力時に、可動板の外周部が、保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに接触した際に生ずる衝撃力が、容易に且つ確実に小さくされることで、それに起因して生ずる起振力も有利に低減せしめられ得る。その結果、そのような仕切部材における保持部の各壁部に対する可動板の外周部の接触に伴う異音の発生防止が、より容易に且つより確実に実現され得るのである。そして、従来において特に問題となっていた衝撃的な大荷重の入力時におけるより大きな異音の発生が、極めて効果的に防止され得ることとなる。   Therefore, in this embodiment as described above, the impact force generated when the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate comes into contact with each of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion during vibration input is easily and reliably reduced. As a result, the vibration force generated due to this can be advantageously reduced. As a result, it is possible to more easily and more reliably prevent the generation of noise due to the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate with each wall portion of the holding portion in such a partition member. And generation | occurrence | production of the bigger abnormal noise at the time of the input of the shocking heavy load which was especially a problem in the past can be prevented very effectively.

本発明の第二の態様は、前記第一の態様に係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記仕切部材に対して、前記第一の流体室と前記第二の流体室とを連通するオリフィス通路が設けられていることを、特徴とする。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to the first aspect, an orifice passage that communicates the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber with the partition member. Is provided.

この本態様においては、オリフィス通路を、例えば、エンジンシェイク等の低周波数域にチューニングすることによって、そのような低周波大振幅振動が入力された際に、オリフィス通路を通じて流動せしめられる流体の共振作用に基づいて有効な防振効果が発揮されるようになる。しかも、かかる低周波大振幅振動の入力により、可動板の外周部が保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに接触した際に生ずる衝撃力が、確実に小さくされ得るのであり、その結果として、低周波大振幅振動の入力時における異音の発生が、効果的に防止され得ることとなる。   In this aspect, by tuning the orifice passage to a low frequency range such as an engine shake, for example, when such low frequency large amplitude vibration is input, the resonance action of the fluid that flows through the orifice passage Based on the above, an effective anti-vibration effect is exhibited. Moreover, the input of such low-frequency large-amplitude vibrations can reliably reduce the impact force that occurs when the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate contacts each of the opposing wall portions of the holding portion. Generation of abnormal noise at the time of inputting high frequency vibration can be effectively prevented.

本発明の第三の態様は、前記第一又は第二の態様に係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記可動板の外周端の両面に、周方向に連続して延びる突条が、それぞれ一体的に設けられていることを、特徴とする。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to the first or second aspect, protrusions extending continuously in the circumferential direction are integrally formed on both surfaces of the outer peripheral end of the movable plate. It is characterized by being provided.

かかる本態様によれば、振動入力時に、可動板の外周部のうちの突条のみが保持部の各壁部に接触せしめられるようになるため、それら各側壁に対する可動板の接触面積が効果的に小さく為され得る。それによって、可動板の外周部の各壁部との接触時に生ずる衝撃力も有利に低く抑えられ、以て、可動板の外周部の各壁部との接触による異音の発生も、より効果的に防止され得る。   According to this aspect, since only the ridges of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate are brought into contact with the respective wall portions of the holding portion at the time of vibration input, the contact area of the movable plate with respect to the respective side walls is effective. Can be made small. Thereby, the impact force generated at the time of contact with each wall portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate is advantageously suppressed to a low level, so that the generation of abnormal noise due to contact with each wall portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate is also more effective. Can be prevented.

また、本態様においては、例えば、可動板を保持部の壁部に接触させた際に、突条がシール部材として機能せしめられて、第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間での流体流動が確実に遮断されるようになる。それ故、かかる本態様にあっては、例えば、前記第二の態様に係る構成、即ち、仕切部材に対してオリフィス通路が形成するようにした構成と共に採用される場合、オリフィス通路を通じて流動せしめられる流体の共振作用に基づく有効な防振効果が、更に一層有利に発揮され得ることとなる。   Further, in this aspect, for example, when the movable plate is brought into contact with the wall portion of the holding portion, the protrusion is caused to function as a seal member, and between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber. The fluid flow is reliably interrupted. Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, when employed together with the configuration according to the second embodiment, that is, the configuration in which the orifice passage is formed with respect to the partition member, the fluid is caused to flow through the orifice passage. An effective anti-vibration effect based on the resonance action of the fluid can be exhibited even more advantageously.

本発明の第四の態様は、前記第三の態様に係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記複数の貫通孔が、前記可動板における前記突条の形成部位よりも内側に位置するように、前記保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれに設けられていることを、特徴とする。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to the third aspect, the plurality of through holes are positioned on the inner side of the projecting portion of the protrusion on the movable plate. It is provided in each of the wall part which the said holding part opposes, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

この本態様によれば、突条が、各貫通孔を通じて第一の流体室内や第二の流体室内から保持部内に流入せしめられた流体が可動板の外周部の両面に沿って外周縁側に流れるのを堰き止める堰止め部として、有利に機能せしめられる。これにより、可動板の外周部のうち、保持部の各壁部における貫通孔形成部位との対向部位が、かかる流体の流動作用にて、保持部の各壁部に向かってより効率的に押圧されて、それ以外の部位に比して、保持部の各壁部に対して、より早く且つより確実に接触せしめられるようになる。その結果、振動入力時における異音の発生防止が、より有利に実現され得ることとなる。   According to this aspect, the protrusions cause the fluid introduced into the holding portion from the first fluid chamber or the second fluid chamber through the respective through holes to flow toward the outer peripheral edge along both surfaces of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate. As a damming portion for damming the hamlet, it can function advantageously. As a result, a portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate that is opposed to the through hole forming portion in each wall portion of the holding portion is more efficiently pressed toward each wall portion of the holding portion by the fluid flow action. Thus, as compared with other portions, the respective wall portions of the holding portion can be brought into contact more quickly and more reliably. As a result, it is possible to more advantageously prevent the generation of abnormal noise during vibration input.

また、本態様においては、例えば、前記せる如く、透孔を流体密に閉鎖する際のシール部材として突条を利用して、第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間での流体流動を遮断する場合に、各貫通孔を通じて、それら両室の流体流動が生ぜしめられるようなことが、効果的に防止され得る。 Further, in this aspect, for example, as described above, a fluid is used between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber by using a protrusion as a seal member when the through hole is fluid-tightly closed. When blocking the flow, it is possible to effectively prevent the fluid flow in both the chambers from being generated through each through hole.

本発明の第五の態様は、前記第一乃至第四の態様のうちの何れか一つに係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記複数の貫通孔が、前記保持部の対向する壁部のそれぞれの互いに対応する部位に設けられていることを、特徴とする。   According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the plurality of through holes are formed on the wall portions facing the holding portion. It is characterized in that it is provided in each corresponding part.

このような本態様によれば、可動板の外周部のうち、保持部の各壁部における貫通孔形成部位と対向する部位が、それと対向しない部位に比して、保持部の各壁部に対して、よりスピーディーに接触せしめられる。それによって、保持部の各壁部に対する可動板の外周部の全周に亘る同時接触が、より確実に且つより安定的に阻止され得、その結果として、振動入力時における異音の発生が、更に一層効果的に防止され得ることとなる。   According to this aspect, the portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate that faces the through-hole forming portion in each wall portion of the holding portion is located on each wall portion of the holding portion as compared to the portion that does not face it. On the other hand, they can be contacted more quickly. Thereby, simultaneous contact over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate with respect to each wall portion of the holding portion can be more reliably and more stably prevented, and as a result, the occurrence of abnormal noise at the time of vibration input, It can be prevented even more effectively.

本発明の第六の態様は、前記第一乃至第五の態様のうちの何れか一つに係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記貫通孔における前記第一の流体室側又は前記第二の流体室側に開口する開口部が、前記保持部側に開口する開口部よりも大径とされると共に、該複数の貫通孔のそれぞれの内周面が、該保持部側から該第一の流体室側に又は該保持部側から該第二の流体室側に向かって次第に大径化するテーパ形状の内周面を有していることを、特徴とする。   According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the first fluid chamber side or the second second in the through hole. The opening that opens to the fluid chamber side has a larger diameter than the opening that opens to the holding unit, and the inner peripheral surface of each of the plurality of through-holes extends from the holding unit to the first It has a taper-shaped inner peripheral surface that gradually increases in diameter toward the fluid chamber side or from the holding portion side toward the second fluid chamber side.

かかる本態様によれば、非圧縮性流体が、各貫通孔を通じて、第一の流体室内や第二の流体室内から保持部内に向かって、よりスムーズに流動せしめられ得ることとなり、これによっても、可動板の外周部のうち、保持部の各壁部における貫通孔形成部位と対向する部位が、それと対向しない部位に比して、保持部の各壁部に対して、よりスピーディーに接触せしめられるようになる。そして、その結果、振動入力時における異音の発生防止が、より有利に実現され得る。   According to this aspect, the incompressible fluid can be caused to flow more smoothly from the first fluid chamber or the second fluid chamber into the holding portion through each through hole. Of the outer peripheral part of the movable plate, the part facing the through hole forming part in each wall part of the holding part is brought into contact with each wall part of the holding part more quickly than the part not facing it. It becomes like this. As a result, it is possible to more advantageously prevent the generation of abnormal noise during vibration input.

本発明の第七の態様は、前記第一乃至第六の態様のうちの何れか一つに係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記貫通孔の隣り合うものの前記最大開口幅(W)が互いに異なる大きさとされていることを、特徴とする。   According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, the maximum opening widths (W) of the adjacent through holes are mutually different. It is characterized by having different sizes.

この本態様によれば、保持部内と第一の流体室内及び保持部内と第二の流体室内のそれぞれの間で、各貫通孔の最大開口幅(W)の差異に基づいて、各貫通孔を通じて流動せしめられる非圧縮性流体の流動量にバラツキが生じる。これによって、可動板の外周部が仕切部材の各壁部に接触するタイミングが、かかる可動板の外周部の周上において、より一層不均一なものとなり、以て、可動板の外周部が保持部の各壁部に対して全周に亘って同時に接触せしめられることが、更に効果的に回避され得る。その結果、振動入力時における異音の発生防止が、より有利に実現され得ることとなる。   According to this aspect, through each through hole, based on the difference in the maximum opening width (W) of each through hole between the holding portion and the first fluid chamber and between the holding portion and the second fluid chamber. Variation occurs in the flow rate of the incompressible fluid to be flowed. As a result, the timing at which the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate comes into contact with each wall portion of the partition member becomes even more uneven on the periphery of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate, so that the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate is held. It can be more effectively avoided that the respective wall portions of the portion are simultaneously brought into contact with the entire circumference. As a result, it is possible to more advantageously prevent the generation of abnormal noise during vibration input.

本発明の第八の態様は、前記第一乃至第七の態様のうちの何れか一つに係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記可動板の周方向において互い隣り合う貫通孔同士の間の距離(L)が互いに異なる大きさとされていることを、特徴とする。   According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, between the through holes adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the movable plate. The feature is that the distances (L) have different sizes.

このような本態様にあっても、可動板の外周部が保持部の各壁部に接触するタイミングが、かかる可動板の外周部の周上において、より一層不均一なものとなり、以て、振動入力時における異音の発生防止効果が、更に一層有利に享受され得ることとなる。   Even in this embodiment, the timing at which the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate comes into contact with each wall portion of the holding portion becomes even more uneven on the periphery of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate. The effect of preventing the generation of abnormal noise at the time of vibration input can be enjoyed even more advantageously.

本発明の第九の態様は、前記第一乃至第八の態様のうちの何れか一つに係る流体封入式防振装置において、前記可動板が弾性変形可能な材料にて構成されていることを、特徴とする。   According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, in the fluid-filled vibration isolator according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, the movable plate is made of an elastically deformable material. Is a feature.

このような本態様によれば、可動板の周上における部分的な弾性変形が許容されるようになる。それによって、貫通孔を通じての流体の流動作用により、可動板の外周部のうち、保持部の各壁部における貫通孔形成部位と対向する部位が弾性変形せしめられ、以てそれと対向しない部位に比して、保持部の各壁部に対して、よりスピーディーに接触せしめられるようになる。そして、その結果、振動入力時における異音の発生防止が、より有利に実現され得る。また、振動の入力時に、第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間での透孔を通じて第一の流体室と第二の流体室との間を流通せしめられる流体の流動作用に基づいて発揮される防振効果に加えて、可動板の弾性変形作用に基づく防振効果も、有利に得られることとなる。   According to this aspect, partial elastic deformation on the periphery of the movable plate is allowed. Accordingly, due to the fluid flow action through the through hole, the portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate that opposes the through hole forming portion in each wall portion of the holding portion is elastically deformed, and thus compared to the portion that does not face the portion. And it comes to contact with each wall part of a holding | maintenance part more speedily. As a result, it is possible to more advantageously prevent the generation of abnormal noise during vibration input. Further, when vibration is input, based on a fluid flow action of fluid that is circulated between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber through a through hole between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber. In addition to the anti-vibration effect exhibited in this way, the anti-vibration effect based on the elastic deformation action of the movable plate is also advantageously obtained.

上述の説明から明らかなように、本発明に従う流体封入式防振装置にあっては、振動の入力時における可動板と仕切部材との接触に起因した異音の発生が、極めて有利に且つより効果的に防止され得るのである。   As is clear from the above description, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention, the generation of abnormal noise due to the contact between the movable plate and the partition member at the time of vibration input is extremely advantageous and more It can be effectively prevented.

以下、本発明を更に具体的に明らかにするために、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ、詳細に説明することとする。   Hereinafter, in order to clarify the present invention more specifically, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

先ず、図1及び図2には、本発明の第一の実施形態としての自動車用エンジンマウントが、その縦断面形態と上面形態とにおいて、それぞれ、概略的に示されている。それらの図から明らかなように、本実施形態のエンジンマウントは、第一の取付部材としての第一の取付金具10と、第二の取付部材としての第二の取付金具12を備えており、それら第一の取付金具10と第二の取付金具12とが、上下方向に互いに離間配置されて、本体ゴム弾性体14により弾性的に連結されて、構成されている。   First, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an automotive engine mount as a first embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown in a longitudinal sectional form and a top form, respectively. As is clear from these drawings, the engine mount of this embodiment includes a first mounting member 10 as a first mounting member and a second mounting member 12 as a second mounting member. The first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 12 are configured to be spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction and to be elastically connected by the main rubber elastic body 14.

そして、第一の取付金具10が自動車のパワーユニットに取り付けられる一方、第二の取付金具12が自動車のボデーに取り付けられることにより、パワーユニットをボデーに対して防振支持せしめるようになっている。また、そのような装着状態下では、パワーユニット重量が及ぼされることにより、本体ゴム弾性体14が弾性変形して、第一の取付金具10と第二の取付金具12が相互に接近位置せしめられる。そして、かかる装着状態下、防振すべき主たる振動が、第一の取付金具10と第二の取付金具12の接近/離隔方向(マウント中心軸である図1中の略上下方向)に入力されることとなる。なお、以下の説明中、上下方向とは、原則として、図1中の上下方向をいうこととする。   The first mounting bracket 10 is attached to the power unit of the automobile, while the second mounting bracket 12 is attached to the body of the automobile, so that the power unit is supported by the body against vibration. Moreover, under such a mounted state, the power unit weight is exerted, whereby the main rubber elastic body 14 is elastically deformed so that the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 12 are positioned close to each other. Under such a mounting state, main vibrations to be vibrated are input in the approach / separation direction of the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 12 (substantially vertical direction in FIG. 1 which is the mount center axis). The Rukoto. In the following description, the vertical direction means the vertical direction in FIG. 1 in principle.

より詳細には、第一の取付金具10は、略円板形状を有しており、その中央部には、上方に突出する取付ボルト16が固設されており、この取付ボルト16によって、第一の取付金具10が、図示しないパワーユニットに固定的に取り付けられるようになっている。また、かかる第一の取付金具10の下面中央には、テーパ周壁を有するカップ状金具18が、その開口部において重ね合わされて溶接等で固着されている。   More specifically, the first mounting bracket 10 has a substantially disk shape, and a mounting bolt 16 projecting upward is fixed to the center of the first mounting bracket 10. One mounting bracket 10 is fixedly attached to a power unit (not shown). Further, at the center of the lower surface of the first mounting bracket 10, a cup-shaped bracket 18 having a tapered peripheral wall is superposed at the opening and fixed by welding or the like.

一方、第二の取付金具12は、全体として、大径の略円筒形状を有している。また、この第二の取付金具12にあっては、上側開口部の周縁部に対して、径方向内方に所定寸法突出し且つ周方向に連続して延びる内フランジ部20が一体的に形成されており、また、かかる内フランジ部20以外の部分が、円筒部22とされている。   On the other hand, the second mounting bracket 12 has a large-diameter, generally cylindrical shape as a whole. Further, in the second mounting bracket 12, an inner flange portion 20 that protrudes by a predetermined dimension radially inward and continuously extends in the circumferential direction is integrally formed with respect to the peripheral portion of the upper opening. In addition, a portion other than the inner flange portion 20 is a cylindrical portion 22.

そして、このような第二の取付金具12の略中心軸上において、第一の取付金具10が、第二の取付金具12の上方に離間して、軸直角方向に広がる状態で配設されており、また、それら第一の取付金具10と第二の取付金具12との間に、本体ゴム弾性体14が介装されている。   Then, on the substantially central axis of the second mounting bracket 12, the first mounting bracket 10 is disposed so as to be spaced apart above the second mounting bracket 12 and spread in the direction perpendicular to the axis. A main rubber elastic body 14 is interposed between the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 12.

この本体ゴム弾性体14は、全体として、大径の略円錐台形状を呈しており、大径側端面において下方に開口する凹所24を有して、構成されている。そして、かかる本体ゴム弾性体14にあっては、小径側端部内に、カップ状金具18が埋め込まれた状態で、小径側端面に対して、第一の取付金具10が重ね合わされて、加硫接着されている一方、凹所24を取り囲む大径側端面に対して、第二の取付金具12の内フランジ部20が重ね合わされて加硫接着されている。要するに、本体ゴム弾性体14は、第一の取付金具10と第二の取付金具12を備えた一体加硫成形品として形成されている。これによって、第二の取付金具12の上側の開口部が、本体ゴム弾性体14によって流体密に覆蓋されているのである。なお、第二の取付金具12の内周面には、その略全面を覆う内側シールゴム層26が、本体ゴム弾性体14と一体的に形成されている。また、かかる第二の取付金具12における円筒部22の外周面には、その下部側部位を覆う外側シールゴム層28が、一体的に形成されている。   The main rubber elastic body 14 as a whole has a large-diameter substantially frustoconical shape, and has a recess 24 that opens downward on the end surface on the large-diameter side. In the main rubber elastic body 14, the first mounting bracket 10 is overlapped with the end surface on the small diameter side in a state where the cup-shaped bracket 18 is embedded in the end portion on the small diameter side, and vulcanized. On the other hand, the inner flange portion 20 of the second mounting bracket 12 is overlapped and vulcanized and bonded to the large-diameter side end surface surrounding the recess 24. In short, the main rubber elastic body 14 is formed as an integrally vulcanized molded product including the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 12. Thus, the upper opening of the second mounting member 12 is fluid-tightly covered with the main rubber elastic body 14. An inner seal rubber layer 26 that covers substantially the entire surface of the second mounting bracket 12 is formed integrally with the main rubber elastic body 14. Further, an outer seal rubber layer 28 that covers the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 22 of the second mounting member 12 is integrally formed.

一方、第二の取付金具12の下側開口部には、取付リング30が、配置されている。この取付リング30は、第二の取付金具12の外径よりも大きな外径とその内径よりも小さな内径とを有する円環板部32と、かかる円環板部32の外周縁部に対して、上方に向かって所定高さをもって突出するように一体形成された略円筒状の上側筒状部34と、円環板部32の内周縁部に対して、下方に向かって所定高さをもって突出するように一体形成された円筒状の下側筒状部36とからなっている。   On the other hand, a mounting ring 30 is disposed in the lower opening of the second mounting bracket 12. The mounting ring 30 is formed with respect to an annular plate portion 32 having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the second mounting bracket 12 and an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter, and an outer peripheral edge portion of the annular plate portion 32. The upper cylindrical portion 34 that is integrally formed so as to protrude upward with a predetermined height and the inner peripheral edge of the annular plate portion 32 protrude downward with a predetermined height. The lower cylindrical portion 36 is formed integrally with the lower cylindrical portion 36.

また、かかる取付リング30においては、下側筒状部36の内側に、可撓性膜としてのゴム薄膜からなるダイヤフラム38が、円環板部32の内孔の全体を覆うように配設されている。このダイヤフラム38は、変形容易なように弛みを持たせた薄肉円板形状を有しており、外周縁部において、取付リング30の下側筒状部36の内周面に加硫接着されている。つまり、換言すれば、ダイヤフラム38が、その外周縁部に取付リング30が加硫接着された一体加硫成形品として構成されているのである。   Further, in the mounting ring 30, a diaphragm 38 made of a rubber thin film as a flexible film is disposed inside the lower cylindrical portion 36 so as to cover the entire inner hole of the annular plate portion 32. ing. The diaphragm 38 has a thin disk shape that is slack so as to be easily deformed, and is vulcanized and bonded to the inner peripheral surface of the lower cylindrical portion 36 of the mounting ring 30 at the outer peripheral edge portion. Yes. That is, in other words, the diaphragm 38 is configured as an integrally vulcanized molded product in which the mounting ring 30 is vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral edge portion thereof.

そして、このような取付リング30が、円環板部32の上面の外周部において、第二の取付金具12の下端面に当接せしめられ、且つ上側筒状部34において、第二の取付金具12に対して同軸的に外挿されて、位置せしめられており、例えば、上側筒状部34に対する縮径加工等が施されることによって、第二の取付金具12に対して嵌着固定されている。また、そのような固定状態下において、第二の取付金具12の外周面に一体形成された外側シールゴム層28にて、かかる第二の取付金具12の外周面と取付リング30における上側筒状部34の内周面との間が液密にシールされている。   Such a mounting ring 30 is brought into contact with the lower end surface of the second mounting bracket 12 at the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the annular plate portion 32, and the second mounting bracket at the upper cylindrical portion 34. For example, the upper cylindrical portion 34 is subjected to a diameter reduction process or the like to be fitted and fixed to the second mounting bracket 12. ing. In such a fixed state, the outer cylindrical surface of the second mounting bracket 12 and the upper cylindrical portion of the mounting ring 30 are formed by the outer seal rubber layer 28 integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the second mounting bracket 12. A space between the inner peripheral surface of 34 is liquid-tightly sealed.

これによって、第二の取付金具12の下側開口部が、取付リング30とその内孔を閉塞するダイヤフラム38とによって液密に覆蓋されており、以て、第二の取付金具12の上下両側(軸方向両側)を覆蓋する本体ゴム弾性体14とダイヤフラム38の対向面間において、非圧縮性流体が封入された流体室40が形成されている。なお、封入流体としては、水やアルキレングリコール,ポリアルキレングリコール,シリコーン油等が採用されるが、特に後述する流体の共振作用に基づく防振効果を有利に得るために、本実施形態では、0.1Pa・s以下の低粘性流体が好適に採用される。   As a result, the lower opening of the second mounting bracket 12 is liquid-tightly covered with the mounting ring 30 and the diaphragm 38 that closes the inner hole thereof. A fluid chamber 40 in which an incompressible fluid is sealed is formed between the opposing surfaces of the main rubber elastic body 14 and the diaphragm 38 that cover (both sides in the axial direction). As the sealing fluid, water, alkylene glycol, polyalkylene glycol, silicone oil, or the like is employed. In order to advantageously obtain a vibration isolation effect based on the resonance action of the fluid described later, in this embodiment, 0 is used. A low-viscosity fluid of 1 Pa · s or less is preferably employed.

また、第二の取付金具12の内部には、仕切部材42が収容配置されており、流体室40中に組み付けられている。この仕切部材42は、全体として略厚肉の円板形状を有しており、かかる仕切部材42が流体室40内で軸直角方向に広がった状態で第二の取付金具12に固定されることにより、流体室40が、仕切部材42を挟んだ上下両側に仕切られている。そして、仕切部材42の上側には、本体ゴム弾性体14の前記凹所24の内側空間からなり、壁部の一部が本体ゴム弾性体14にて構成された、第一の流体室としての受圧室44が形成されている一方、仕切部材42の下側には、壁部の一部がダイヤフラム38で構成された、第二の流体室としての平衡室46が形成されている。即ち、受圧室44は、振動入力時に本体ゴム弾性体14の弾性変形に伴って振動が入力されて内圧変動が生ぜしめられるようになっている一方、平衡室46は、ダイヤフラム38の変形に基づいて容易に容積変化が許容されて、内圧変化が吸収されるようになっている。   In addition, a partition member 42 is accommodated in the second mounting bracket 12 and assembled in the fluid chamber 40. The partition member 42 has a substantially thick disk shape as a whole, and is fixed to the second mounting member 12 in a state where the partition member 42 spreads in the direction perpendicular to the axis in the fluid chamber 40. Thus, the fluid chamber 40 is partitioned on both upper and lower sides with the partition member 42 interposed therebetween. An upper side of the partition member 42 is a space inside the recess 24 of the main rubber elastic body 14, and a part of the wall portion is configured by the main rubber elastic body 14 as a first fluid chamber. While the pressure receiving chamber 44 is formed, an equilibrium chamber 46 as a second fluid chamber is formed below the partition member 42, and a part of the wall portion is constituted by a diaphragm 38. That is, in the pressure receiving chamber 44, vibration is input along with elastic deformation of the main rubber elastic body 14 at the time of vibration input, and an internal pressure fluctuation is generated, while the equilibrium chamber 46 is based on the deformation of the diaphragm 38. Thus, the volume change is easily allowed and the internal pressure change is absorbed.

而して、ここでは、仕切部材42が、仕切部材本体48と蓋体50とが互いに重ね合わされて、組み付けられることによって形成されており、また、その内部に、可動板52が、上下方向に移動可能に配設されている。そして、本実施形態に係るエンジンマウントにおいては、特に、このような仕切部材42の具体的構成において、従来マウントには見られない大きな特徴が存しているのである。   Thus, here, the partition member 42 is formed by assembling the partition member main body 48 and the lid body 50 so as to overlap each other, and the movable plate 52 is provided in the vertical direction in the interior thereof. It is arranged to be movable. In the engine mount according to the present embodiment, in particular, in such a specific configuration of the partition member 42, there are significant features that are not found in the conventional mount.

すなわち、図3及び図4に示されるように、仕切部材本体48は、硬質の合成樹脂材料やアルミニウム合金等の金属材料を用いて形成された、所定の厚さを有する略円形ブロック体からなっている。そして、この仕切部材本体48の上面の中央部には、所定深さを有する円形凹所54が形成されており、また、その外周部には、略一周分の周方向長さをもって連続的に延びる断面矩形状の周溝56が、円形凹所54の周りを略全周に亘って取り囲むように形成されている。つまり、仕切部材本体48の上面には、その径方向の中間部に、略一周分の周方向長さを有して周方向に延びる隔壁57が設けられ、この隔壁57を間に挟んで、その内側に円形凹所54が設けられている一方、その外側に周溝56が設けられているのである。そして、この周溝56においては、周方向に延びる底部の一端部に、略矩形状を呈する窓部58が、底部を貫通して、形成されている。   That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the partition member body 48 is formed of a substantially circular block body having a predetermined thickness and formed using a hard synthetic resin material or a metal material such as an aluminum alloy. ing. A circular recess 54 having a predetermined depth is formed in the central portion of the upper surface of the partition member main body 48, and the outer peripheral portion thereof is continuously provided with a circumferential length of approximately one round. An extending circumferential groove 56 having a rectangular cross section is formed so as to surround the circular recess 54 over substantially the entire circumference. That is, on the upper surface of the partition member main body 48, a partition wall 57 having a circumferential length of approximately one round and extending in the circumferential direction is provided in the radial intermediate portion, and the partition wall 57 is sandwiched therebetween. A circular recess 54 is provided on the inner side, and a circumferential groove 56 is provided on the outer side. And in this circumferential groove 56, the window part 58 which exhibits a substantially rectangular shape is formed in the one end part of the bottom part extended in the circumferential direction so that the bottom part may be penetrated.

また、かかる仕切部材本体48の中央部に設けられた円形凹所54の底部の中心には、円形の中心孔60が、板厚方向に貫通して設けられている。更に、円形凹所54の底部における中心孔60の周囲には、略扇形状を呈する、例えば4個の通孔62が、周方向において相互に一定の距離を隔てて形成されている。更にまた、それら4個の通孔62の隣り合うもの同士の間に、所定幅をもって放射状に延びる放射状リブ64が、それぞれ1個ずつ設けられていると共に、各通孔62と中心孔60との間には、リング状リブ65が形成されている。   In addition, a circular center hole 60 is provided in the center of the bottom of the circular recess 54 provided in the center of the partition member body 48 so as to penetrate in the plate thickness direction. Further, around the central hole 60 at the bottom of the circular recess 54, for example, four through holes 62 having a substantially fan shape are formed at a certain distance from each other in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, one radial rib 64 extending radially with a predetermined width is provided between adjacent ones of the four through-holes 62, and each of the through-holes 62 and the center hole 60 is provided with one radial rib 64. A ring-shaped rib 65 is formed between them.

そして、ここでは、特に、仕切部材本体48の円形凹所54の底部において、複数の通孔62の形成部位の更に外周側に、かかる底部を貫通する貫通孔66が、例えば4個設けられている。これら4個の貫通孔66は、何れも、円形の上側開口部(円形凹所54の底部内面側の開口部)と、それよりも径が大きな円形の下側開口部(円形凹所54の底部外面側の開口部)とを有し、円形凹所54を、その上部開口部以外において外部に連通するように構成されており、また、その内周面の全体が、下方に向かって次第に大径となるテーパ面形状とされている。   Here, in particular, at the bottom of the circular recess 54 of the partition member main body 48, for example, four through holes 66 penetrating the bottom are provided on the outer peripheral side of the portion where the plurality of through holes 62 are formed. Yes. Each of these four through holes 66 has a circular upper opening (opening on the inner surface side of the bottom of the circular recess 54) and a circular lower opening (diameter of the circular recess 54 having a larger diameter). And the circular recess 54 is configured to communicate with the outside except for the upper opening, and the entire inner peripheral surface gradually decreases downward. The tapered surface has a large diameter.

さらに、そのような4個の貫通孔66は、円形凹所54の底部における通孔62の形成部位と前記隔壁57の形成部位との間の部分において、その径方向略中央に、4個の放射状リブ64のそれぞれの延長上に位置せしめられている。つまり、仕切部材本体48の中心部と外周縁部との間における径方向中間部分に、周方向において互いに等間隔を隔てて配設されている。   Further, such four through-holes 66 are provided at the substantially central portion in the radial direction at the portion between the formation portion of the through hole 62 and the formation portion of the partition wall 57 at the bottom of the circular recess 54.

これによって、ここでは、可動板52が、その内周部において、保持部80の内周部に設けられた複数の透孔82の全部を覆い、且つそれら各透孔82を遮断する一方、外周部を、保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部の各外周部分81,83に設けられた各貫通孔66,76に対応せしめた状態で、配置されている。また、そのような配置状態下で、可動板52が、外周縁部の両面に設けられた突条84,84と保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部のそれぞれの外周部分81,83とを相互に接触させるまでの範囲内において、保持部80内を上下方向に自由に移動せしめられ得るようになっている。更に、保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部のそれぞれの外周部分81,83に設けられた各貫通孔66,76が、可動板52の外周縁部と複数の透孔82との間において、可動板52の突条84形成部位よりも内側で且つかかる突条84形成部位の直近に位置せしめられるようになっている。   Thereby, here, the movable plate 52 covers all of the plurality of through holes 82 provided in the inner peripheral portion of the holding portion 80 and blocks each of the through holes 82 on the inner peripheral portion thereof. The portions are arranged in a state where they correspond to the respective through holes 66 and 76 provided in the respective outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80. Moreover, under such an arrangement state, the movable plate 52 includes protrusions 84 and 84 provided on both surfaces of the outer peripheral edge portion, and outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 on the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80, respectively. Within the range until they are brought into contact with each other, the inside of the holding portion 80 can be freely moved in the vertical direction. Further, the through holes 66 and 76 provided in the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80 are formed between the outer peripheral edge portion of the movable plate 52 and the plurality of through holes 82. The movable plate 52 is positioned on the inner side of the protrusion 84 forming portion and in the vicinity of the protrusion 84 forming portion.

このことから明らかなように、本実施形態では、保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81と下側底壁部の外周部分83とにて、保持部80において可動板52を介して対向位置する壁部が、それぞれ構成されており、また、そのような壁部を構成する保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部の各外周部分81,83に対して、各貫通孔66,76が、可動板52の外周部の周方向に互いに所定距離を隔てて、位置せしめられているのである。   As is clear from this, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion and the outer peripheral portion 83 of the lower bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80 face each other through the movable plate 52 in the holding portion 80. The positioned wall portions are respectively configured, and the through holes 66 and 76 are provided to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80 constituting such a wall portion. However, they are positioned at a predetermined distance from each other in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52.

そして、図1に示されるように、かくの如き構造とされた仕切部材42が、第二の取付金具12内において、その同軸上で、軸直角方向に広がり、且つ蓋体50の上面が受圧室44内に露呈せしめられる一方、仕切部材本体48の下面が平衡室46内に露呈せしめられて、それら上下面に対して、受圧室44と平衡室46の内圧が及ぼされ得るように配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the partition member 42 having such a structure extends in the second mounting bracket 12 on the same axis and in the direction perpendicular to the axis, and the upper surface of the lid 50 receives the pressure. While being exposed in the chamber 44, the lower surface of the partition member main body 48 is exposed in the equilibrium chamber 46 so that the internal pressures of the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46 can be exerted on the upper and lower surfaces. ing.

また、そのような配置状態下で、蓋体50と仕切部材本体48のそれぞれの窓部75,58が、受圧室44内と平衡室46内とに、それぞれ開口せしめられて、仕切部材42に設けられたオリフィス通路78が、受圧室44と平衡室46とを連通するように位置せしめられている。   Further, under such an arrangement state, the window portions 75 and 58 of the lid body 50 and the partition member main body 48 are opened in the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46, respectively. The provided orifice passage 78 is positioned so as to communicate the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46.

さらに、蓋体50と仕切部材本体48のそれぞれの通孔70,62も、受圧室44内と平衡室46内とに、それぞれ開口せしめられて、仕切部材42に設けられた複数の透孔82が、受圧室44と平衡室46とを連通するように位置せしめられている。そして、それによって、仕切部材42の保持部80内に、その上側及び下側壁部の各外周部分81,83の内面と可動板52の外周部の外面とに囲まれてなり、且つ蓋体50と仕切部材本体48の各通孔70,62を通じて、受圧室44内と平衡室46内とに、それぞれ開口せしめられた流体流路が形成されるようになっている。つまり、仕切部材42に対して、複数の透孔82を含む流体流路が形成されているのである。   Further, the through holes 70 and 62 of the lid body 50 and the partition member main body 48 are also opened in the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46, respectively, and a plurality of through holes 82 provided in the partition member 42. However, the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46 are positioned to communicate with each other. And thereby, it is enclosed in the holding | maintenance part 80 of the partition member 42 by the inner surface of each outer peripheral part 81 and 83 of the upper side and lower side wall part, and the outer surface of the outer peripheral part of the movable plate 52, and the cover body 50. Through the through holes 70 and 62 of the partition member main body 48, fluid flow paths opened in the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46 are formed. That is, a fluid flow path including a plurality of through holes 82 is formed with respect to the partition member 42.

更にまた、蓋体50と仕切部材本体48に設けられた各貫通孔76,66も、受圧室44内と平衡室46内とにそれぞれ開口せしめられて、保持部80と受圧室44及び平衡室46とを各々連通するように位置せしめられている。また、それによって、それら各貫通孔76,66の内周面が、保持部80側から受圧室44側に向かって、或いは保持部80側から平衡室46側に向かって、それぞれ次第に大径化するテーパ面形状となるようにされている。   Furthermore, the through holes 76 and 66 provided in the lid 50 and the partition member main body 48 are also opened in the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46, respectively, so that the holding portion 80, the pressure receiving chamber 44, and the equilibrium chamber are opened. 46 to be in communication with each other. As a result, the inner peripheral surfaces of the through holes 76 and 66 gradually increase in diameter from the holding portion 80 side toward the pressure receiving chamber 44 side or from the holding portion 80 side toward the equilibrium chamber 46 side. It is made to become a tapered surface shape.

そして、そのようにして配置された仕切部材42が、取付リング30の円環板部32の上面と本体ゴム弾性体14の下端面との間で、流体密に挟圧保持されて、固定されているのである。   Then, the partition member 42 arranged in such a manner is held and fixed in a fluid-tight manner between the upper surface of the annular plate portion 32 of the mounting ring 30 and the lower end surface of the main rubber elastic body 14. -ing

かくして、かくの如き構造とされた本実施形態のエンジンマウントにあっては、自動車への装着状態下で、第一の取付金具10と第二の取付金具12との間に、それらの接近/離隔方向(図1中、上下方向)の振動が入力されると、受圧室44と平衡室46との間に相対的な圧力差が生ぜしめられることに基づいて、それら両室44,46間において、オリフィス通路78を通じての流体流動や、ゴム製の可動板52の受圧室44側と平衡室46側への上下方向の移動と可動板52の弾性変形、更にはそのような可動板52の移動と弾性変形に基づく複数の透孔82を含む流体流路を通じての実質的な流体流動が、各々生ぜしめられるようになっている。   Thus, in the engine mount according to the present embodiment having such a structure, the approach / removal between the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 12 under the mounting state on the automobile. When vibration in the separation direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1) is input, a relative pressure difference is generated between the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46, so that the space between the chambers 44 and 46 is increased. , The fluid flow through the orifice passage 78, the vertical movement of the rubber movable plate 52 toward the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46, the elastic deformation of the movable plate 52, and further, Substantial fluid flow through the fluid flow path including the plurality of through holes 82 based on movement and elastic deformation is generated.

そして、ここでは、オリフィス通路78が、エンジンシェイク等の低周波数域にチューニングされており、それによって、エンジンシェイク等の低周波大振幅振動が入力された際に、オリフィス通路78を通じて流動せしめられる流体の共振作用に基づいて有効な防振効果が発揮されるようになっている。   Here, the orifice passage 78 is tuned to a low frequency region such as an engine shake, and thereby fluid that flows through the orifice passage 78 when a low frequency large amplitude vibration such as an engine shake is input. An effective anti-vibration effect is exhibited based on the resonance action.

なお、その際、仕切部材42の保持部80に保持された可動板52が、受圧室44と平衡室46との間の内圧差に基づいて平衡室46側や受圧室44側に移動せしめられて、その外周部において、保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81や下側底壁部の外周部分83に接触せしめられるようになる。これにより、複数の透孔82における受圧室44側の複数の通孔70の全部や平衡室46側の複数の通孔62の全部が閉塞せしめられて、複数の透孔82を含む流体流路を通じての実質的な流体流動が阻止され、以て、オリフィス通路78を通じての流体流動作用に基づく防振効果が、より有効に発揮され得るようになっている。   At this time, the movable plate 52 held by the holding portion 80 of the partition member 42 is moved to the equilibrium chamber 46 side or the pressure receiving chamber 44 side based on the internal pressure difference between the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46. Thus, the outer peripheral portion comes into contact with the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80 and the outer peripheral portion 83 of the lower bottom wall portion. As a result, all of the plurality of through holes 70 on the pressure receiving chamber 44 side in the plurality of through holes 82 and all of the plurality of through holes 62 on the equilibrium chamber 46 side are closed, and a fluid flow path including the plurality of through holes 82 is obtained. Therefore, the vibration isolation effect based on the fluid flow action through the orifice passage 78 can be more effectively exhibited.

また、このとき、可動板52の外周部が接触せしめられる保持部80の各外周部分81,83には、複数の貫通孔76,66が設けられているだけで、突起物が何等設けられていない。しかも、可動板52が弾性変形可能なゴム材料にて構成されている。そのため、例えば、仕切部材42における可動板52との接触部位に突条形態を呈するリブを設けてなる前記従来装置とは異なって、可動板52の外周部と、それが接触せしめられる保持部80の各外周部分81,83との間に隙間が形成されて、シール性が損なわれるようなことが、効果的に防止され得るようになっている。   At this time, each of the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 with which the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 is brought into contact is provided with only a plurality of through holes 76 and 66, and no protrusions are provided. Absent. Moreover, the movable plate 52 is made of a rubber material that can be elastically deformed. Therefore, for example, unlike the conventional device in which ribs having a ridge shape are provided at the contact portion of the partition member 42 with the movable plate 52, the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 and the holding portion 80 with which it is brought into contact. It is possible to effectively prevent a gap from being formed between the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 and the sealing performance from being impaired.

さらに、ここでは、可動板52の外周縁部の両面に、周方向に連続して延びる突条84が、それぞれ設けられていることから、保持部80の各外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の接触時に、かかる突条84にて十分なシール機能が発揮されて、複数の透孔82を含む流体流路を通じての流体流動が、より確実に阻止されるようになる。なお、このとき、保持部80の各外周部分81,83に設けられた各貫通孔76,66が、可動板52の突条84形成部位よりも内側に位置せしめられているため、それら各貫通孔76,66を通じて、受圧室44と平衡室46との間の流体流動が惹起されることもない。   Further, here, since the protrusions 84 extending continuously in the circumferential direction are provided on both surfaces of the outer peripheral edge portion of the movable plate 52, the movable plate 52 with respect to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 is provided. At the time of contact with the outer peripheral portion, the protrusion 84 provides a sufficient sealing function, and the fluid flow through the fluid flow path including the plurality of through holes 82 is more reliably prevented. At this time, the through holes 76 and 66 provided in the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 are positioned on the inner side of the projecting ridge 84 forming portion of the movable plate 52. The fluid flow between the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46 is not caused through the holes 76 and 66.

また、本実施形態では、低周波大振幅振動の入力時において、可動板52が、受圧室44と平衡室46との間の内圧差に基づいて弾性変形せしめられるものの、保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部にそれぞれ設けられた複数の放射状リング72,64やリング状リブ74,65に対する可動板52の内周部の接触により、可動板52の弾性変形量が制限される。そのため、低周波大振幅振動の入力に際しての可動板52の弾性変形に起因して、オリフィス通路78を通じての流体流動量が不十分となってしまうことが有利に防止され、これによっても、目的とする防振効果が、より有効に発揮され得るように構成されているのである。   In the present embodiment, the movable plate 52 is elastically deformed on the basis of the internal pressure difference between the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46 when the low frequency large amplitude vibration is input. The amount of elastic deformation of the movable plate 52 is limited by the contact of the inner peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with the plurality of radial rings 72 and 64 and the ring-shaped ribs 74 and 65 respectively provided on the lower bottom wall portion. Therefore, it is advantageously prevented that the fluid flow amount through the orifice passage 78 becomes insufficient due to the elastic deformation of the movable plate 52 at the time of inputting the low frequency large amplitude vibration. The anti-vibration effect is configured to be more effective.

そして、かかる本実施形態では、特に、前述せる如く、仕切部材42における保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部のそれぞれの外周部部分81,83に、保持部80と受圧室44又は平衡室46とを連通する複数の貫通孔76,66が設けられ、しかも、それらが、保持部80に保持された可動板52の外周部分の周方向において互いに所定距離を隔てて位置せしめられている。   In the present embodiment, as described above, in particular, the holding portion 80 and the pressure receiving chamber 44 or the equilibrium chamber are provided in the respective outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80 in the partition member 42. A plurality of through-holes 76, 66 communicating with 46 are provided, and they are positioned at a predetermined distance from each other in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 held by the holding portion 80.

それ故、低周波数大振幅振動の入力により、可動板52が下方(平衡室46側)に移動せしめられて、その外周部が、保持部80の下側底壁部の外周部分83に接触せしめられる際には、保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81に設けられた各貫通孔76を通じて、受圧室44から保持部80内に流体が流入せしめられる一方、保持部80内の流体が、下側底壁部の外周部分83に設けられた各貫通孔66を通じて、平衡室46内に流出せしめられる。このとき、可動板52の外周部のうち、保持部80における各貫通孔76との対向部位が、保持部80内に流れ込む流体にて押圧されて、弾性変形せしめられ、それにより、かかる保持部80の各貫通孔76と対応しない部位よりも早く保持部80の下側底壁部の外周部分83に接触せしめられるようになる。   Therefore, the movable plate 52 is moved downward (equilibrium chamber 46 side) by the input of the low-frequency large-amplitude vibration, and its outer peripheral portion is brought into contact with the outer peripheral portion 83 of the lower bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80. In this case, fluid is caused to flow from the pressure receiving chamber 44 into the holding portion 80 through the through holes 76 provided in the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80, while the fluid in the holding portion 80 is allowed to flow. Then, it flows out into the equilibrium chamber 46 through each through hole 66 provided in the outer peripheral portion 83 of the lower bottom wall portion. At this time, a portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 facing the through holes 76 in the holding portion 80 is pressed by the fluid flowing into the holding portion 80 and is elastically deformed, thereby the holding portion. It comes into contact with the outer peripheral portion 83 of the lower bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80 earlier than a portion that does not correspond to each through-hole 76 of 80.

一方、低周波大振幅振動の入力時において、可動板52が上方(受圧室44側)に移動せしめられて、その外周部が、保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81に接触せしめられる際には、上記とは逆の流体の流動作用によって、可動板52の外周部のうち、保持部80における各貫通孔66との対向部位が、弾性変形せしめられて、各貫通孔66と対向しない部位よりも早く保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81に接触せしめられるようになる。   On the other hand, at the time of inputting the low frequency large amplitude vibration, the movable plate 52 is moved upward (the pressure receiving chamber 44 side), and the outer peripheral portion thereof is brought into contact with the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80. At this time, due to the fluid flow opposite to the above, the portion of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 facing the through holes 66 in the holding portion 80 is elastically deformed to face the through holes 66. It comes into contact with the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80 earlier than the portion that is not.

すなわち、本実施形態のエンジンマウントにおいては、エンジンシェイク等の低周波数域の大振幅振動の入力時に、可動板52の外周部が周上において部分的に弾性変形せしめられて、可動板52の外周部が保持部80の外周部分81,83に接触するタイミングが、可動板52の周方向においてばらついて、不均一となるように構成されている。換言すれば、可動板52の外周部が、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対して、全周に亘って同時に接触せしめられることが防止されるようになっている。そして、それによって、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の接触により生ずる衝撃力が、可及的に低下せしめられ得るようになっているのである。   That is, in the engine mount of this embodiment, the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 is partially elastically deformed on the circumference when a large amplitude vibration in a low frequency range such as an engine shake is input, and the outer periphery of the movable plate 52 is The timing at which the portion contacts the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 varies in the circumferential direction of the movable plate 52 and is configured to be non-uniform. In other words, the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 is prevented from being simultaneously brought into contact with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 over the entire periphery. As a result, the impact force generated by the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 can be reduced as much as possible.

そして、ここでは、特に、かくの如き低周波数大振幅の入力時における、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52外周部の全周に亘る同時接触の防止、更にはそれにより生ずる衝撃力の低下を、より有効に実現するために、保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部の外周部分81,83にそれぞれ設けられた各貫通孔76,66の最大開口幅(図4及び図6においてWにて示される寸法)と、可動板52の周方向において互い隣り合う貫通孔76,66同士の間の距離(図4及び図6においてLにて示される寸法)との比(W/L)が、1/16〜1/2の範囲内の値となるように設定されている。   In this case, in particular, at the time of inputting such a low frequency and large amplitude, simultaneous contact over the entire outer periphery of the movable plate 52 with respect to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding unit 80 is further prevented. In order to more effectively reduce the force, the maximum opening width of each of the through holes 76 and 66 provided in the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80 (FIGS. 4 and 6 (the dimension indicated by W in FIG. 6) and the distance between the through holes 76 and 66 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the movable plate 52 (the dimension indicated by L in FIGS. 4 and 6) (W / L) is set to a value within a range of 1/16 to 1/2.

何故なら、かかる比(W/L)が、1/16よりも小さい場合には、保持部80の外周部分81,83に設けられる貫通孔76,66の数が過少となり、貫通孔76,66の形成によって奏され得る効果が有効に享受され得なくなってしまうからである。   This is because when the ratio (W / L) is smaller than 1/16, the number of the through holes 76 and 66 provided in the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding unit 80 is too small, and the through holes 76 and 66 are not provided. This is because the effects that can be achieved by forming the film cannot be enjoyed effectively.

また、かかる比(W/L)が、1/2よりも大きいと、保持部80の上側及び下側底壁部の外周部分81,83のそれぞれに対して、過剰に多くの数の貫通孔76,66が形成されることとなるため、可動板52の上下方向への移動時に、流体が、受圧室44内や平衡室46内から保持部80内に、多くの個所から流入せしめられ、それによって、そのような流体の流動作用にて、可動板52の全体が上下方向に押圧されようになる。そして、その結果、可動板52の外周部が、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対して、全周に亘って同時に接触せしめられる恐れが大きくなるからである。   Further, when the ratio (W / L) is larger than 1/2, an excessively large number of through-holes are formed on the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the upper and lower bottom wall portions of the holding portion 80. 76 and 66 are formed, so that when the movable plate 52 moves in the vertical direction, the fluid is caused to flow into the holding portion 80 from the pressure receiving chamber 44 and the equilibrium chamber 46 from many locations, Accordingly, the entire movable plate 52 is pressed in the vertical direction by such a fluid flow action. As a result, there is a high possibility that the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 is simultaneously brought into contact with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 over the entire periphery.

しかも、かかる比(W/L)が、1/2を越える余りに大きな値となっている場合には、各貫通孔76,66の最大開口幅(W)も必然的に大きなものとなり、そのために、各貫通孔76,66の最大開口幅(W)を小さくすることで得られる、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の接触により生ずる衝撃力の低減効果が、十分に確保され得なくなってしまう。即ち、ここでは、各貫通孔76,66の最大開口幅(W)が比較的に小さくされていることによって、可動板52の移動時に、その移動方向前方側に位置する貫通孔76,66を通じての流体の流動抵抗が大きくされ、以て、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の接触によって生ずる衝撃力の減少が図られているのであるが、上記の比(W/L)が1/2を越える大きな値とされると、そのような衝撃力の低下が、十分に図られ得なくなってしまうのである。   In addition, when the ratio (W / L) is too large, exceeding 1/2, the maximum opening width (W) of each through hole 76, 66 is inevitably large. The effect of reducing the impact force generated by the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 obtained by reducing the maximum opening width (W) of each of the through holes 76 and 66 is sufficient. It can no longer be secured. That is, here, since the maximum opening width (W) of each through hole 76, 66 is relatively small, when the movable plate 52 is moved, the through hole 76, 66 located on the front side in the moving direction is used. The flow resistance of the fluid is increased, so that the impact force caused by the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 is reduced. If / L) is a large value exceeding 1/2, such a reduction in impact force cannot be achieved sufficiently.

一方、本実施形態のエンジンマウントでは、仕切部材42の複数の透孔82を含む流体流路が、オリフィス通路78のチューニング周波数よりも高周波数域にチューニングされており、それによって、走行こもり音等の高周波小振幅振動が入力された際には、オリフィス通路78の流動抵抗の著しい増大に伴って、オリフィス通路78が実質的に閉塞せしめられる一方で、可動板52が上下方向において、小さな移動量で移動せしめられるようになる。このとき、可動板52の周囲を流体が流動せしめられ、以て、有効な防振効果が発揮されるようになっているのである。また、そのような可動板52の上下方向への移動が十分に小さくされていることから、保持部80に設けられた放射状及びリング状リブ72,64,74,65への可動板52の接触はなく、それ故に、異音の発生が問題となることはない。   On the other hand, in the engine mount of the present embodiment, the fluid flow path including the plurality of through holes 82 of the partition member 42 is tuned to a frequency region higher than the tuning frequency of the orifice passage 78, thereby causing a traveling boom noise or the like. When a high-frequency small-amplitude vibration is input, the orifice passage 78 is substantially closed as the flow resistance of the orifice passage 78 is significantly increased, while the movable plate 52 is moved in a small amount in the vertical direction. You can move it with. At this time, the fluid is caused to flow around the movable plate 52, so that an effective anti-vibration effect is exhibited. In addition, since the movement of the movable plate 52 in the vertical direction is sufficiently small, the movable plate 52 contacts the radial and ring-shaped ribs 72, 64, 74, 65 provided in the holding unit 80. Therefore, the generation of abnormal noise is not a problem.

このように、本実施形態においては、振動の入力時、とりわけエンジンシェイク等の低周波数域における大振幅振動の入力時に、可動板52の外周部が、保持部80の外周部分81,83に接触した際に生ずる衝撃力が、容易に且つ確実に小さくされるようになっており、それによって、保持部80の外周部分81,83への可動板52の外周部の接触に起因して生ずる起振力も、有利に低減せしめられ得る。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 contacts the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 at the time of vibration input, particularly when large amplitude vibration is input in a low frequency range such as engine shake. The impact force generated at the time is reduced easily and reliably, thereby causing the occurrence of the impact caused by the contact of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80. The vibration force can also be advantageously reduced.

従って、このような本実施形態に係るエンジンマウントにあっては、エンジンシェイク等の低周波数域における大振幅振動の入力時において、仕切部材42における保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の接触により、仕切部材42等が共振して、異音を生ずるようなことが、確実に防止され得る。しかも、それが、単に、仕切部材42の保持部80に貫通孔76,66を設けるだけの設計が容易な簡略な構造において、実現され得るのである。   Therefore, in such an engine mount according to the present embodiment, the movable plate 52 with respect to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 of the partition member 42 at the time of inputting a large amplitude vibration in a low frequency region such as an engine shake. Due to the contact of the outer peripheral portion, it is possible to reliably prevent the partition member 42 and the like from resonating and generating abnormal noise. Moreover, it can be realized in a simple structure that is easy to design by simply providing the through holes 76 and 66 in the holding portion 80 of the partition member 42.

また、かかる本実施形態では、例えば、衝撃的な大振幅振動が入力せしめられた際にも、保持部80の各外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の全周に亘る同時接触が有利に阻止され、それによって、可動板52の外周部が、仕切部材42における保持部80の外周部分81,83に対して、大きな衝撃力をもって接触することが可及的に防止され得る。そして、その結果として、衝撃的な音や振動が発生することも、効果的に解消され得る。   In this embodiment, for example, even when shocking large-amplitude vibration is input, simultaneous contact over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with respect to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 is performed. Accordingly, the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 can be prevented from contacting the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 of the partition member 42 with a large impact force as much as possible. As a result, the occurrence of shocking sounds and vibrations can be effectively eliminated.

さらに、本実施形態のエンジンマウントにおいては、可動板52の外周縁部の両面に突条84がそれぞれ設けられているところから、エンジンシェイク等の低周波数域の大振幅振動や衝撃的な大振幅振動の入力時に、可動板52が、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対して、かかる突条84のみの限定された十分に小さな部位において接触せしめられるようになり、これによっても、かかる保持部80の各底壁部に対する可動板52の接触による衝撃力の緩和が、有利に達成され得る。   Further, in the engine mount of the present embodiment, since the protrusions 84 are provided on both surfaces of the outer peripheral edge of the movable plate 52, large amplitude vibration in a low frequency region such as engine shake or shocking large amplitude is provided. At the time of vibration input, the movable plate 52 comes into contact with the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 at a limited and sufficiently small portion where only the protrusion 84 is limited. Mitigation of impact force by contact of the movable plate 52 with each bottom wall portion of the portion 80 can be advantageously achieved.

さらにまた、かかるエンジンマウントでは、各貫通孔76,66が、仕切部材42における保持部80の外周部分81,83に対して、可動板52の両面における突条84形成部位よりも内側の直近部位に対応した位置に設けられているため、それら各貫通孔76,66を通じて保持部80内に流入せしめられた流体が、突条84にて堰き止められて、可動板52の外周部に沿って径方向に容易に流れることが阻止され、それによって、可動板52の外周部が、かかる流体にて効率的に押圧され得るようになる。そして、その結果として、可動板52の外周部が保持部80の外周部分81,83に接触するタイミングが、可動板52の周上において、より確実に不均一なものとなる。従って、これによっても、振動入力時における異音の発生が、効果的に防止され得ることとなる。   Furthermore, in such an engine mount, the through holes 76, 66 are located in the immediate vicinity of the outer peripheral portions 81, 83 of the holding portion 80 in the partition member 42, on the inner side of the protrusion 84 forming portion on both surfaces of the movable plate 52. Therefore, the fluid that has flowed into the holding portion 80 through each of the through holes 76 and 66 is blocked by the ridges 84 and along the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52. Easily flowing in the radial direction is prevented, so that the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 can be efficiently pressed by such fluid. As a result, the timing at which the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 contacts the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 is more reliably non-uniform on the periphery of the movable plate 52. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the generation of abnormal noise during vibration input.

また、本実施形態においては、各貫通孔76,66の内周面が、保持部80側から受圧室44側に向かって、或いは保持部80側から平衡室46側に向かって、それぞれ次第に大径化するテーパ面形状となるようにされているため、振動入力時に、各貫通孔76,66を通じて、受圧室44内又は平衡室46内から保持部80内に向かって流動せしめられる流体の流れが、よりスムーズと為され得る。これによっても、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52外周部の全周に亘る同時接触の防止、更にはそれにより生ずる衝撃力の低下が、より有効に図られ得ることとなる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the inner peripheral surfaces of the through holes 76 and 66 are gradually increased from the holding unit 80 side toward the pressure receiving chamber 44 side or from the holding unit 80 side toward the equilibrium chamber 46 side. Since the diameter of the tapered surface is increased, the flow of the fluid that is caused to flow from the inside of the pressure receiving chamber 44 or the equilibrium chamber 46 toward the holding portion 80 through the through holes 76 and 66 at the time of vibration input. Can be done more smoothly. Also by this, prevention of simultaneous contact over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the movable plate 52 with respect to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 and further reduction of the impact force caused thereby can be achieved more effectively.

さらに、本実施形態では、可動板52がゴム材料にて形成されて、弾性変形可能とされているため、各貫通孔76,66を通じての流体の流動作用により、周上の複数個所が、厚さ方向に容易に弾性変形せしめられ得る。そして、これによっても、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52の外周部の全周に亘る同時接触の防止、更にはそれにより生ずる衝撃力の低下が、効果的に実現され得るのである。   Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the movable plate 52 is formed of a rubber material and can be elastically deformed, a plurality of locations on the circumference are thick due to the fluid flow action through the through holes 76 and 66. It can be easily elastically deformed in the vertical direction. This also effectively prevents the simultaneous contact of the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 over the entire outer periphery of the movable plate 52 and further reduces the impact force caused thereby. is there.

以上、本発明の一実施形態について詳述してきたが、これはあくまでも例示であって、本発明は、かかる実施形態に関する具体的な記載によって、何等限定的に解釈されるものではない。   As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this is an illustration to the last, Comprising: This invention is not limited at all by the specific description regarding this Embodiment.

例えば、前記実施形態では、第一の流体室が、壁部の一部が本体ゴム弾性体14にて構成されて、振動入力時に内圧変動が惹起される受圧室44により構成される一方、第二の流体室が、壁部の一部がダイヤフラム38にて構成されて、容積変化が容易に許容される平衡室46により構成されていたが、第一の流体室と第二の流体室とを、単に、仕切部材にて仕切られて、透孔を通じて連通せしめられただけの構造において、形成しても良い。そして、その意味からすれば、仕切部材42に設けられたオリフィス通路78を省略しても、何等差し支えないのである。   For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first fluid chamber is configured by the pressure receiving chamber 44 in which a part of the wall portion is configured by the main rubber elastic body 14 and the internal pressure fluctuation is caused when the vibration is input. The two fluid chambers are configured by the equilibrium chamber 46 in which a part of the wall portion is configured by the diaphragm 38 and the volume change is easily allowed. However, the first fluid chamber, the second fluid chamber, May be formed in a structure that is simply partitioned by a partition member and communicated through a through hole. In that sense, there is no problem even if the orifice passage 78 provided in the partition member 42 is omitted.

また、仕切部材42の構造も、例示のものに、何等限定されるものではなく、防振装置内部に、第一の流体室と第二の流体室とを画成すると共に、可動板を、一定の距離だけ自由に移動可能に保持することが出来、しかも、保持部と第一の流体室又は第二の流体室とを連通する貫通孔が形成され得るものであれば、例えば、一つの部品(部材)のみにて構成しても良く、また3個以上の部品(部材)を組み合わせて構成しても良い。勿論、その具体的な構造も、決して限定されるものではない。   Further, the structure of the partition member 42 is not limited to the illustrated one, and the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber are defined in the vibration isolator, and the movable plate is provided. As long as it can be held so as to be freely movable by a certain distance and a through-hole communicating with the holding portion and the first fluid chamber or the second fluid chamber can be formed, for example, one You may comprise only components (member), and may comprise it combining 3 or more components (member). Of course, the specific structure is not limited in any way.

さらに、可動板52は、ゴム材料以外の材料を用いて形成することも可能である。   Further, the movable plate 52 can be formed using a material other than a rubber material.

更にまた、前記実施形態では、仕切部材42の保持部80に形成された貫通孔76,66が、それぞれテーパ面状の内周面を有して構成されていたが、例えば、図9に示されるように、円筒面形状を呈する内周面をもって、各貫通孔76,66を形成しても良く、或いは、そのような円筒面形状やテーパ面形状以外の形状の内周面をもって、各貫通孔76,66を形成することも出来る。なお、図9及び後述する図10については、前記実施形態と同様な構造とされた部材及び部位について、図1乃至図8と同一の符号を付すことにより、その詳細な説明は省略した。   Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the through holes 76 and 66 formed in the holding portion 80 of the partition member 42 are each configured to have a tapered inner peripheral surface. For example, FIG. As shown, each through-hole 76, 66 may be formed with an inner peripheral surface having a cylindrical surface shape, or each through-hole with an inner peripheral surface of a shape other than the cylindrical surface shape or the tapered surface shape. Holes 76 and 66 can also be formed. 9 and FIG. 10 to be described later, members and parts having the same structure as in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 8, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

また、前記実施形態では、各貫通孔76,66の最大開口幅(W)が全て同一の大きさとされると共に、周方向に隣り合うもの同士の間の距離(L)が、全て一定の大きさとされていたが、例えば、図10に示されるように、各貫通孔76,66の隣り合うもの同士の最大開口幅(W)を互いに異なる大きさとしたり、それら互いに隣り合う貫通孔76,66同士の間の距離(L)をそれぞれ異なる大きさとしたりしても良い。それによって、保持部80の外周部分81,83に対する可動板52外周部の全周に亘る同時接触の防止、更にはそれにより生ずる衝撃力の低下が、より有効に図られ得ることとなる。   In the embodiment, the maximum opening widths (W) of the through holes 76 and 66 are all the same, and the distances (L) between adjacent ones in the circumferential direction are all constant. However, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the maximum opening widths (W) of adjacent ones of the through holes 76 and 66 are different from each other, or the adjacent through holes 76 and 66 are adjacent to each other. The distance (L) between them may be different from each other. As a result, simultaneous contact over the entire outer periphery of the movable plate 52 with respect to the outer peripheral portions 81 and 83 of the holding portion 80 can be prevented, and the impact force caused thereby can be reduced more effectively.

なお、隣り合う貫通孔76,66同士の最大開口幅(W)を互いに異なるものとする場合には、保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81に設けられるもの同士の間だけで、互いに異なるように為したり、保持部80の下側底壁部の外周部分83に設けられるもの同士の間だけで、互いに異なるように為したり、或いはそれらの保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81に設けられるもの同士の間と、下側底壁部の外周部分83に設けられるもの同士の間との両方において、互いに異なるように為しても良い。また、そのように、隣り合う貫通孔76,66同士の最大開口幅(W)を互いに異なるものとする場合にあっても、保持部80の上側底壁部の外周部分81と下側底壁部の外周部分83に、それぞれ、貫通孔76,66を4個以上設ける場合には、互いに隣り合わない貫通孔76,66同士が、同じ大きさの最大開口幅(W)を有するようにしても、何等差し支えない。なお、互いに隣り合う貫通孔76,66同士の間の距離(L)をそれぞれ異なる大きさとする場合も、同様である。   When the maximum opening widths (W) of the adjacent through holes 76 and 66 are different from each other, only between those provided on the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80, It is made different, or it is made to differ only between what is provided in the outer peripheral part 83 of the lower bottom wall part of the holding | maintenance part 80, or the upper bottom wall part of those holding | maintenance parts 80 You may make it mutually differ in both between what is provided in the outer peripheral part 81, and between those provided in the outer peripheral part 83 of a lower bottom wall part. Further, even when the maximum opening width (W) between the adjacent through holes 76 and 66 is different from each other, the outer peripheral portion 81 of the upper bottom wall portion of the holding portion 80 and the lower bottom wall are provided. When four or more through holes 76 and 66 are provided in the outer peripheral portion 83 of each part, the through holes 76 and 66 that are not adjacent to each other have the same maximum opening width (W). However, there is no problem. The same applies to the case where the distances (L) between the adjacent through holes 76 and 66 are different from each other.

さらに、仕切部材42に設けられる透孔82の個数や形状、大きさ等も、前記実施形態に示されるものに、決して限定されるものでないことは、言うまでもないところである。   Furthermore, it goes without saying that the number, shape, size, and the like of the through holes 82 provided in the partition member 42 are not limited to those shown in the embodiment.

加えて、本発明を自動車のエンジンマウントに適用したものの具体例を示したが、本発明は、その他、自動車用ボデーマウントや自動車以外の各種装置に用いられる流体封入式防振装置に対して、何れも、有利に適用され得ることは、勿論である。   In addition, a specific example of applying the present invention to an engine mount of an automobile has been shown.However, the present invention is also applied to a fluid-filled vibration isolator used in various apparatuses other than an automobile body mount and an automobile. Of course, either can be applied advantageously.
