  Here, the resonance frequency of this type of dynamic damper is determined by the mass member and the spring constant of the rubber elastic body. However, the spring constant of the rubber elastic body changes with temperature. For example, the spring constant decreases with increasing temperature. Along with this, the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper is also lowered. As described above, since the temperature dependency is large, depending on the environmental temperature, it may be in a state in which the vibration-proofing effect cannot be exhibited appropriately. Therefore, it is desired to reduce the temperature dependence.

  Further, the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper also changes depending on the amplitude. For example, the resonance frequency increases when the amplitude is small and decreases when the amplitude is large. Thus, since it also has an amplitude dependency, it is also desired to reduce the amplitude dependency.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dynamic damper capable of reducing temperature dependency and amplitude dependency and a method for manufacturing the same.

  The dynamic damper according to the first aspect of the present invention is inserted into the through hole so that the central axis is parallel to each other, and the mass member in which two through holes whose central axes are parallel to each other are formed. Two core members, a fixed member including the two core members connected to be bridged and fixed to the vibration isolation target member, an inner peripheral surface of each through hole, and each core member And a rubber elastic body that elastically connects the outer peripheral surface of the rubber.

  First, a direction perpendicular to both central axes of the two core members is defined as a first direction. And the rubber elastic body which comprises the dynamic damper of 1st invention is elastically connected in the direction which inclines in the circumferential direction of a core member with respect to a 1st direction among the internal peripheral surface of a through-hole, and the outer peripheral surface of a core member. In addition, the bridging member connects each core member so that the distance between the two core members is short relative to the position of each core member when the rubber elastic body is in an unloaded state. Burdening.

  Here, the unloaded state of the rubber elastic body is a state of the rubber elastic body before the bridging member is connected to the core member. More specifically, the unloaded state of the rubber elastic body corresponds to a case where the rubber elastic body is in a vulcanized shape when the rubber elastic body is vulcanized and formed in the through hole and the core member. To do.

  And the rubber elastic body is elastically connected in the direction inclined in the circumferential direction of the core member with respect to the first direction among the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member. That is, the rubber elastic body is not elastically connected so as to extend in the first direction among the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member.

  Further, the rubber elastic body is positioned in a state where a load is applied in advance. Specifically, a load is applied to the rubber elastic body in advance so that the distance between the two core members becomes shorter than the position of each core member when the rubber elastic body is unloaded.

  The load applied to the rubber elastic body will be described in more detail. Here, of the inner peripheral surface of one through hole, the other through hole side is closer to the near side than the central axis of one core member through which the rubber elastic body is inserted into the one through hole in an unloaded state. The inner peripheral surface is defined, and the surface opposite to the other through hole is defined as the far-side inner peripheral surface.

  And when the rubber elastic body in an unloaded state elastically connects the near side inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member, the following is obtained. In this case, when the distance between the two core members is reduced, the rubber elastic body undergoes compression deformation and shear deformation. And if the movement amount of a core member becomes large, shear deformation and buckling deformation will arise. Here, when compressive deformation and shear deformation occur, the force generated in the rubber elastic body increases as the movement amount of the core member increases. On the other hand, when shear deformation and buckling deformation occur, even if the movement amount of the core member increases, the force generated in the rubber elastic body has a substantially constant relationship. Then, the core member is positioned in advance in a region where the force generated in the rubber elastic body is substantially constant with respect to the movement amount of the core member.

  That is, when the moving amount of the core member with respect to the mass member is within a predetermined range as the mass member vibrates with respect to the fixed member, the force generated in the rubber elastic body can be made constant. Thereby, the dynamic damper of the first invention can have frequency characteristics having a region in which the maximum gain is substantially constant in a predetermined frequency band. In other words, the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper has a predetermined frequency band. Therefore, even if the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper changes due to a change in temperature or amplitude, the resonance frequency has a predetermined frequency band, and thus an appropriate vibration isolation effect can be exhibited. That is, according to the dynamic damper of the first invention in this case, temperature dependency and amplitude dependency can be reduced.

  Moreover, when the rubber elastic body in an unloaded state elastically connects the far-side inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member, the following occurs. In this case, when the two core members move so that the distance between them becomes shorter, the rubber elastic body undergoes tensile deformation. When the movement amount of the core member is small, the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body increases as the movement amount of the core member increases. Further, when the movement amount of the core member increases, even if the movement amount of the core member increases, the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body has a substantially constant relationship. Then, the core member is previously positioned in a region where the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body is substantially constant with respect to the movement amount of the core member.

  That is, also in this case, as the mass member vibrates with respect to the fixed member, the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body is made constant if the movement amount of the core member with respect to the mass member is within a predetermined range. Can do. Thereby, the dynamic damper of the first invention in this case can have frequency characteristics having a region where the maximum gain is substantially constant in a predetermined frequency band. In other words, the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper has a predetermined frequency band. Therefore, even if the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper changes due to a change in temperature or amplitude, the resonance frequency has a predetermined frequency band, and thus an appropriate vibration isolation effect can be exhibited. That is, according to the dynamic damper of the first invention in this case, temperature dependency and amplitude dependency can be reduced.

  The dynamic damper according to the second aspect of the invention is inserted into each through hole so that the central member is formed in a columnar shape or a cylindrical shape and the central axis is parallel to the mass member in which two through holes whose central axes are parallel to each other are formed. Two core members, a fixed member including the two core members connected to be bridged and fixed to the vibration isolation target member, an inner peripheral surface of each through hole, and each of the through holes A rubber elastic body that elastically connects the outer peripheral surface of the core member.

  Here, first, among the inner peripheral surfaces of one through hole, the rubber elastic body is opposite to the other through hole than the central axis of one core member inserted through the one through hole in an unloaded state. The side surface is defined as the far side inner peripheral surface. And the rubber elastic body which comprises the dynamic damper of 2nd invention elastically connects a far side inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of a core member. In addition, the bridging member connects each core member so that the distance between the two core members is short relative to the position of each core member when the rubber elastic body is in an unloaded state. Burdening.

  The dynamic damper of the second invention is intended for the case where the rubber elastic body is elastically connected to the far side inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member. That is, the rubber elastic body includes a case where the rubber elastic body is elastically connected so as to extend in the first direction described above, among the inner peripheral surface on the far side of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member.

  The rubber elastic body is positioned in a state where a load is applied in advance. Specifically, a load is applied to the rubber elastic body in advance so that the distance between the two core members becomes shorter than the position of each core member when the rubber elastic body is unloaded.

  Thus, when the rubber elastic body in an unloaded state elastically connects the far side inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member, the following is obtained. In this case, when the two core members move so that the distance between them becomes shorter, the rubber elastic body undergoes tensile deformation. When the movement amount of the core member is small, the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body increases as the movement amount of the core member increases. Further, when the movement amount of the core member increases, even if the movement amount of the core member increases, the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body has a substantially constant relationship. Then, the core member is previously positioned in a region where the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body is substantially constant with respect to the movement amount of the core member.

  That is, also in this case, as the mass member vibrates with respect to the fixed member, the tensile force generated in the rubber elastic body is made constant if the movement amount of the core member with respect to the mass member is within a predetermined range. Can do. As a result, the dynamic damper of the second invention can have frequency characteristics having a region where the maximum gain is substantially constant in a predetermined frequency band. In other words, the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper has a predetermined frequency band. Therefore, even if the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper changes due to a change in temperature or amplitude, the resonance frequency has a predetermined frequency band, and thus an appropriate vibration isolation effect can be exhibited. That is, according to the dynamic damper of the second invention, temperature dependency and amplitude dependency can be reduced.

  In the dynamic damper of the first invention and the second invention, the following may be used. That is, the rubber elastic body may elastically connect the inner peripheral surface of one through hole and the outer peripheral surface of one core member inserted through the one through hole at two or more locations. Thereby, the load which each rubber elastic body receives can be reduced. Therefore, durability and lifetime can be improved.

  Further, the rubber elastic body may be formed symmetrically with respect to a first plane passing through both central axes of the two core members. Thereby, the core member can be positioned with high accuracy. Therefore, the dynamic damper can reliably obtain the above-described frequency characteristics.

  Further, the rubber elastic body is formed to be plane-symmetric with respect to a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane passing through both central axes of the two core members and passes through the intermediate position of the central axis of the through hole. It may be. Here, the positioning of the core member is such that one rubber elastic body elastically connected to one through hole and the other rubber elastic body elastically connected to the other through hole balance each other. That is, the core member can be positioned with high accuracy by forming the respective rubber elastic bodies symmetrically with respect to the second plane. Therefore, the dynamic damper can reliably obtain the above-described frequency characteristics.

  In the above description, the case where the present invention is grasped as a dynamic damper has been described. In addition, the present invention can be grasped as a method for manufacturing a dynamic damper.

  That is, the manufacturing method of the dynamic damper of the first invention includes a mass member in which two through-holes whose central axes are parallel to each other and a columnar or cylindrical shape and each through-hole so that the central axes are parallel to each other. Two core members inserted through the holes, a fixing member that connects the two core members so as to be bridged, and is fixed to the vibration isolation target member, and inner peripheral surfaces of the respective through holes And a rubber elastic body that elastically connects the outer peripheral surfaces of the respective core members, and is performed as follows.

  Here, a direction perpendicular to both central axes of the two core members is defined as a first direction. And the manufacturing method of the dynamic damper of the first invention vulcanizes the rubber elastic body in a direction inclined in the circumferential direction of the core member with respect to the first direction among the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and the outer peripheral surface of the core member. After the rubber vulcanization step to be bonded and the rubber vulcanization step, each of the bridging members is set so that the distance between the two core members is short with respect to the position of each core member when the rubber elastic body is in an unloaded state. And a bridging member connecting step of applying a load to the rubber elastic body in advance.

  Thereby, the dynamic damper of the 1st invention mentioned above can be manufactured, and the effect by the dynamic damper of the 1st invention mentioned above can be produced.

(Dynamic damper manufacturing method)
Next, a method for manufacturing the dynamic damper 1 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the manufacturing process of the dynamic damper 1.

In the no-load state in which the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are vulcanized, the outer cylinder fittings 12 and 13 and the inner cylinder fittings 16 and 17 are not positioned coaxially. Specifically, the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are vulcanized and bonded to each other in a state where the central axes of the outer cylindrical fittings 12 and 13 and the central axes of the inner cylindrical fittings 16 and 17 are shifted by Δx, respectively. . More specifically, the first leg portion 18a and the second leg portion 18b of the first rubber elastic body 18 in the vulcanized molded state are centered on the central axis of the first inner cylindrical metal member 16 and the second leg portion 18b. When the central axis side of the inner cylindrical metal member 17 is set to 0 degree, the inner cylindrical metal part 17 extends in a direction inclined about 60 degrees toward the opposite side. The second rubber elastic body 19 has a symmetrical shape with the first rubber elastic body 18 but is formed in substantially the same manner.

  Subsequently, the mounting bolts 25 and 27 are inserted into the oval mounting holes 22 b and 23 b of the bridging members 22 and 23, and are temporarily fixed to the second core member main body 15. Then, the mounting bolts 25 and 27 are moved along the oval mounting holes 22b and 23b so that the separation distance between the first core member main body 14 and the second core member main body 15 is shortened. The first outer cylinder fitting 12 and the first inner cylinder fitting 16 are coaxially positioned, and the second outer cylinder fitting 13 and the second inner cylinder fitting 17 are positioned coaxially. At this time, the mounting bolts 25 and 27 are fixed to the second core member main body 15 (second bridging member connecting step).

(Characteristics of rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 and frequency characteristics of dynamic damper 1)
Next, in the dynamic damper 1 manufactured as described above, the characteristics of the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 will be described with reference to FIG. 5, and the frequency characteristics of the dynamic damper 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  5 indicates the relationship between the displacement in the first direction of the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 and the force generated in the first direction. Here, the displacement is positive in the direction in which the two inner cylinder fittings 16 are close to each other. That is, the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 have a relationship in which the generated force increases as the displacement increases from the no-load state. In the first region having this relationship, the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are compressed and sheared. Thereafter, when the displacement is further increased, the generated force becomes a constant relationship. In the second region having this relationship, the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 undergo shear deformation and buckling deformation. Furthermore, when the displacement is increased, the generated force is increased.

  The rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are loaded in advance as described above. The displacement of the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 at this time is set to be approximately near the center of the second region. That is, in a no-load state in which the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are vulcanized, a deviation amount Δx between the center axis of the outer cylinder fittings 12 and 13 and the center axis of the inner cylinder fittings 16 and 17 is the second region. It is made to correspond to the displacement around the center.

  In this way, when the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are preloaded, the mass member main body 11 moves relative to the core member main bodies 14 and 15 as the vibration isolation target member vibrates. Even if the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 are displaced, the force generated in the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 is constant.

  The frequency characteristic of such a dynamic damper 1 is as shown in FIG. That is, it is possible to obtain frequency characteristics having a region where the maximum gain is substantially constant in a predetermined frequency band. In other words, the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper has a predetermined frequency band. Therefore, even if the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper 1 changes due to changes in temperature and amplitude, the resonance frequency has a predetermined frequency band, so that an appropriate vibration isolation effect can be exhibited.

<Second embodiment>
Next, the dynamic damper 100 of 2nd embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. FIG. 7A is a front view of the dynamic damper 100 in a state before the bridging members 22 and 23 are attached. FIG. 7B is a front view of the dynamic damper 100 in a completed state. Here, the dynamic damper 100 in the second embodiment is different from the dynamic damper 1 of the first embodiment in rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119. Therefore, only the rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 will be described, and the other components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

  The rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 are vulcanized and bonded to each other in a state where the central axes of the outer cylindrical fittings 12 and 13 and the central axes of the inner cylindrical fittings 16 and 17 are shifted by Δx, respectively. The rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 include first leg portions 118a and 119a and second leg portions 118b and 119b, respectively. The first leg portion 118a and the second leg portion 118b of the rubber elastic body 118 in the vulcanized and molded state are centered on the center axis of the first inner cylinder fitting 16 and the center of the second inner cylinder fitting 17. When the axial side is set to 0 degree, each extends in the direction inclined about 90 degrees toward the opposite side. That is, the first leg 118 a and the second leg 118 b extend in a direction orthogonal to the first direction X. The second rubber elastic body 119 is substantially the same as the first rubber elastic body 118.

  Then, the bridging members 22 and 23 are fixed to the core member bodies 14 and 15 so that the distance between the first core member body 14 and the second core member body 15 is shortened. Specifically, the first outer cylinder fitting 12 and the first inner cylinder fitting 16 are coaxially arranged, and the second outer cylinder fitting 13 and the second inner cylinder fitting 17 are arranged coaxially. The bridging members 22 and 23 are fixed to the core member main bodies 14 and 15 so as to be in a state.

  In the dynamic damper 100 of the second embodiment, the relationship between the displacement in the first direction of the rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 and the force generated in the first direction will be described with reference to FIG. As indicated by the thin solid line in FIG. 5, the rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 have a relationship in which the generated force increases as the displacement increases from the no-load state. In the first region having this relationship, the rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 are subjected to shear deformation and tensile deformation. Thereafter, when the displacement is further increased, the resulting force becomes a substantially constant relationship. In the second region having this relationship, the rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 are in a state where only tensile deformation has occurred.

  Similar to the dynamic damper 1 of the first embodiment, the dynamic damper 100 also has frequency characteristics having a region where the maximum gain is substantially constant in a predetermined frequency band. Therefore, even in this case, even if the resonance frequency of the dynamic damper 100 changes due to changes in temperature and amplitude, the resonance frequency has a predetermined frequency band, and therefore, an appropriate vibration isolation effect can be exhibited.

  Here, the force generated in the rubber elastic bodies 118 and 119 in the second region in the second embodiment is smaller than the force generated in the rubber elastic bodies 18 and 19 in the second region in the first embodiment. From this, in the frequency characteristic of the dynamic damper 100 of the second embodiment, the resonance frequency having a predetermined frequency band is different from that of the dynamic damper 1 of the first embodiment. That is, a predetermined frequency band of the resonance frequency can be freely set by appropriately changing the direction of vulcanization molding of the rubber elastic body.

<Third embodiment, fourth embodiment>
Next, the dynamic damper 200 of the third embodiment and the dynamic damper 300 of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, respectively. FIG. 8A is a front view of the dynamic damper 200 in a state before the bridging members 22 and 23 are attached. FIG. 8B is a front view of the dynamic damper 200 in a completed state. FIG. 9A is a front view of the dynamic damper 300 in a state before the bridging members 22 and 23 are attached. FIG. 9B is a front view of the dynamic damper 300 in a completed state. Here, the dynamic dampers 200 and 300 in the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment are different from the dynamic damper 1 of the first embodiment in rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318, and 319. Therefore, only the rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318, and 319 will be described, and the other components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

  The rubber elastic bodies 218 and 219 constituting the dynamic damper 200 of the third embodiment are configured such that the center axis of the outer cylinder fittings 12 and 13 and the center axis of the inner cylinder fittings 16 and 17 are shifted by Δx, respectively. Is vulcanized and bonded. The rubber elastic bodies 218 and 219 include first leg portions 218a and 219a and second leg portions 218b and 219b, respectively.

  Here, among the inner peripheral surfaces of the first outer cylinder fitting 12, the second outer cylinder fitting 13 and the first rubber elastic body 218 are more than the central axis of the first inner cylinder fitting 14 in the unloaded state. Defines the opposite side surface as the "first far side inner peripheral surface". Further, of the inner peripheral surface of the second outer cylinder fitting 13, the first outer cylinder fitting 12 is more than the central axis of the second inner cylinder fitting 15 when the second rubber elastic body 219 is in an unloaded state. The surface on the opposite side is defined as the “second far side inner peripheral surface”.

  That is, the first rubber elastic body 218 elastically connects the first far-side inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral surface of the first outer cylindrical fitting 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the first inner cylindrical fitting 14. Yes. Specifically, the first leg portion 218a and the second leg portion 218b of the rubber elastic body 218 in the vulcanized molding state are centered on the central axis of the first inner cylinder fitting 16, and the second inner cylinder fitting. When the central axis side of 17 is set to 0 degree, it extends in a direction inclined about 120 degrees toward the opposite side.

  The second rubber elastic body 219 elastically connects the second far-side inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral surface of the second outer cylindrical fitting 13 and the outer peripheral surface of the second inner cylindrical fitting 15. Yes. Specifically, the second rubber elastic body 219 has a symmetrical shape with the first rubber elastic body 218, but is substantially the same.

  The rubber elastic bodies 318 and 319 constituting the dynamic damper 200 of the fourth embodiment are configured such that the center axis of the outer cylinder fittings 12 and 13 and the center axis of the inner cylinder fittings 16 and 17 are shifted by Δx, respectively. Is vulcanized and bonded.

  That is, the first rubber elastic body 318 has a first direction out of the inner peripheral surface of the first outer tubular fitting 12 and the first far-side inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the first inner tubular fitting 14. It is elastically connected so that it may extend. As described above, the first direction is a direction perpendicular to both central axes of the two core member bodies 14 and 15. Further, the second rubber elastic body 319 includes the first of the second inner peripheral surface of the second outer cylindrical fitting 13 and the outer peripheral surface of the second inner cylindrical fitting 15. Elastically connected to extend in the direction.

  In the dynamic dampers 200 and 300 of the third and fourth embodiments, the relationship between the displacement in the first direction of the rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318 and 319 and the force generated in the first direction will be described with reference to FIG. explain. The case of the third embodiment is indicated by a thick broken line in FIG. 5, and the case of the fourth embodiment is indicated by a thin broken line in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318, and 319 have a relationship in which the generated force increases as the displacement increases from the no-load state. In the first region having this relationship, the rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318, and 319 are substantially tensile deformed. Thereafter, when the displacement is further increased, the resulting force becomes a substantially constant relationship. Also in the second region having this relationship, the rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318, and 319 are almost in a state where only tensile deformation occurs.

  Similar to the dynamic damper 1 of the first embodiment, these dynamic dampers 200 and 300 also have frequency characteristics having a region where the maximum gain is substantially constant in a predetermined frequency band. Accordingly, even in this case, even if the resonance frequency of the dynamic dampers 200 and 300 changes due to changes in temperature and amplitude, the resonance frequency has a predetermined frequency band, so that an appropriate vibration-proofing effect can be exhibited. .

  Here, the force generated in the rubber elastic bodies 218, 219, 318, 319 in the second region in the third and fourth embodiments is the rubber elastic bodies 18, 19, in the second region in the first and second embodiments. The force generated at 118 and 119 is small. Therefore, in the frequency characteristics of the dynamic dampers 200 and 300 of the third and fourth embodiments, the resonance frequency having a predetermined frequency band is different from that of the dynamic dampers 1 and 100 of the first and second embodiments. Furthermore, the force generated in the rubber elastic bodies 318 and 319 in the second region in the fourth embodiment is smaller than the force generated in the rubber elastic bodies 218 and 219 in the second region in the third embodiment. From this, in the frequency characteristic of the dynamic damper 200 of the third embodiment, the resonance frequency having a predetermined frequency band is different from that of the dynamic damper 300 of the fourth embodiment.

  That is, the predetermined frequency band of the resonance frequency can be freely set by appropriately changing the direction of vulcanization molding of the rubber elastic body as in the first to fourth embodiments.
