Description

本発明は、筒型防振装置及びその製造方法に係り、特に、防振連結される各一方の部材に取り付けられる軸部材と合成樹脂製の外筒部材とが、それらの間に介装されたゴム弾性体によって弾性的に連結されてなる筒型防振装置の改良された構造と、そのような筒型防振装置を有利に製造する方法とに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a cylindrical vibration isolator and a method for manufacturing the same, and in particular, a shaft member attached to one of the members to be anti-vibrated and a synthetic resin outer cylinder member are interposed therebetween. The present invention relates to an improved structure of a cylindrical vibration isolator that is elastically connected by a rubber elastic body, and a method for advantageously manufacturing such a cylindrical vibration isolator.

従来から、振動伝達系を構成する二つの部材間に介装されて、それら二つの部材を連結する防振連結体の一種として、防振連結されるべき部材のうちの一方に取り付けられる軸部材と、そのような軸部材の周りに、その軸直角方向外方に所定距離を隔てて配されて、二つの部材のうちの他方に取り付けられる外筒部材とが、それらの間に介装された本体ゴム弾性体にて連結されてなる構造の筒型防振装置が、知られている。また、近年では、防振装置の軽量化や低コスト化等のために、外筒部材の樹脂化が検討され、実際に、合成樹脂製の外筒部材を有する筒型防振装置が、例えば、自動車用のエンジンマウントやトルクロッドの取付ブッシュ等に用いられてきている。   Conventionally, a shaft member that is interposed between two members constituting a vibration transmission system and is attached to one of the members to be vibration-proof connected as a kind of vibration-proof connection body that connects the two members. And an outer cylinder member that is disposed around such a shaft member at a predetermined distance outward in a direction perpendicular to the axis and is attached to the other of the two members. 2. Description of the Related Art A cylindrical vibration isolator having a structure connected by a rubber elastic body is known. Further, in recent years, resinization of the outer cylinder member has been studied in order to reduce the weight and cost of the vibration isolator, and in fact, a cylindrical vibration isolator having an outer cylinder member made of synthetic resin is, for example, It has been used for engine mounts for automobiles, mounting bushes for torque rods, and the like.

ところで、この種の筒型防振装置においては、特許文献1等に明らかにされる如く、一般に、本体ゴム弾性体が、軸部材の周りに、その軸直角方向外方に離間配置された筒部と、軸部材の外周面に加硫接着されて、軸部材と筒部とを連結する連結部とを一体的に有する一体加硫成形品にて構成されて、かかる一体加硫成形品が、樹脂製の外筒部材の内周面に固着されている。また、そのような一体加硫成形品(本体ゴム弾性体)の筒部と連結部との間に、軸方向に貫通して延びる空所が設けられると共に、ストッパ部が、かかる空所内において、外筒部材側から軸部材側に向かって軸直角方向に突出せしめられた状態で、筒部に一体形成されている。   By the way, in this type of cylindrical vibration isolator, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the like, generally, a main rubber elastic body is arranged around a shaft member and spaced apart outward in the direction perpendicular to the axis. And an integrally vulcanized molded product that is integrally vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member and connects the shaft member and the cylindrical portion. It is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the resin outer cylinder member. Further, a space extending through in the axial direction is provided between the cylindrical portion and the connecting portion of such an integrally vulcanized molded product (main rubber elastic body), and the stopper portion is provided in the space. The cylindrical portion is integrally formed in a state of protruding in the direction perpendicular to the axis from the outer cylinder member side toward the shaft member side.

このような構造を有する従来の筒型防振装置では、空所の存在によって、本体ゴム弾性体の軸直角方向のばね特性が柔らかくされており、また、外筒部材と軸部材の軸直角方向における相対的変位量が、軸部材の外周面に加硫接着された連結部とストッパ部との当接により規制され、それによって、筒型防振装置にて防振連結される二つの部材の間で過大な変位が生ずることが、防止され得るようになっている。   In the conventional cylindrical vibration isolator having such a structure, the spring characteristic in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the main rubber elastic body is softened due to the presence of the void, and the direction perpendicular to the axis between the outer cylinder member and the shaft member. The relative displacement amount of the two members is regulated by the contact of the connecting portion vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member and the stopper portion. It is possible to prevent excessive displacement between the two.

そして、かかる筒型防振装置にあっては、外筒部材からのストッパ部の突出高さが適宜に変更されて、外筒部材と軸部材の軸直角方向における過大な相対的変位時に互いに当接せしめられるストッパ部の突出先端面と連結部の外面との間の軸直角方向での距離、所謂ストッパクリアランスが種々変えられることにより、本体ゴム弾性体の軸直角方向のばね特性や、外筒部材と軸部材の軸直角方向における相対的変位の規制量等がチューニングされ、以て、防振連結されるべき部材の種類や大きさ等に応じて、必要とされる防振特性やストッパ効果が確保されるようになっているのである。   In such a cylindrical vibration isolator, the protrusion height of the stopper portion from the outer cylinder member is appropriately changed so that the outer cylinder member and the shaft member abut against each other when the relative displacement is excessive in the direction perpendicular to the axis. By changing various distances in the direction perpendicular to the axis between the protruding tip surface of the stopper part to be brought into contact with the outer surface of the connecting part, so-called stopper clearance, the spring characteristic of the main rubber elastic body in the direction perpendicular to the axis, The amount of regulation of the relative displacement of the member and the shaft member in the direction perpendicular to the axis is tuned. Therefore, depending on the type and size of the member to be anti-vibration connected, the required anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effect Is to be secured.

そして、従来では、様々な種類や大きさの部材同士を防振連結するのに用いられる複数種類の筒型防振装置、つまり、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置を製造する場合に、通常、本体ゴム弾性体の形状が同じで、ストッパ部の突出高さのみが互いに異なる一体加硫成形品が、筒型防振装置の種類に対応して、それぞれ製作されることが多くあった。そして、そのような防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置は、比較的に、個々の種類毎の流動数が少なく、多品種少量生産となるのが一般的である。そのため、かかる複数種類の筒型防振装置の製造の際に、本体ゴム弾性体の形状が同じで、且つストッパ部の突出高さのみが互いに異なる一体加硫成形品も、多数の種類のものが、それぞれ少量ずつ製作されていた。それ故、従来においては、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置の製造時に、本体ゴム弾性体とストッパ部とを一体的に有する一体加硫成形品を製作する上において、成形金型の製作費や生産時の段替え工数が不可避的に増大し、その結果、生産効率が低下することが避けられなかった。そして、それによって、筒型防振装置の製造コストの高騰と生産効率の低下とが惹起されていたのである。   Conventionally, a plurality of types of cylindrical anti-vibration devices used for anti-vibration coupling of various types and sizes of members, that is, a plurality of types of cylindrical anti-vibration devices having different anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effects. When manufacturing the device, normally, the body rubber elastic body has the same shape, but the integral vulcanized molded products that differ from each other only in the protruding height of the stopper are manufactured for each type of cylindrical vibration isolator. There was much to be done. In general, a plurality of types of cylindrical vibration isolators having different anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effects have a relatively small number of flows for each type and are generally produced in a variety of small quantities. . For this reason, when manufacturing such multiple types of cylindrical vibration isolator, there are many types of integral vulcanization molded products in which the shape of the main rubber elastic body is the same and only the protruding heights of the stopper portions are different from each other. However, a small amount of each was produced. Therefore, conventionally, when manufacturing a plurality of types of cylindrical vibration isolators having different anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effects, an integrally vulcanized molded product integrally having a main rubber elastic body and a stopper portion is manufactured. However, it is inevitable that the production cost of the molding die and the man-hours for changeover during production increase inevitably, resulting in a decrease in production efficiency. As a result, an increase in the manufacturing cost of the cylindrical vibration isolator and a decrease in production efficiency were caused.

また、従来の筒型防振装置にあっては、一般に、軸部材の外周面に加硫接着された本体ゴム弾性体とストッパ部とからなる一体加硫成形品の加硫成形時に、空所、所謂ストッパクリアランスが形成される。この際、金型の強度上の理由から、ストッパクリアランスを十分に小さくすることが困難で、ましてや、ストッパクリアランスをゼロとすること、つまり連結部とストッパ部とを互いに接触させた状態とすることは、到底、不可能であった。それ故、本体ゴム弾性体の軸直角方向のばね特性と、ストッパ部による外筒部材と軸部材の変位量規制特性とが、制限された範囲の中でしかチューニングされ得なかったのである。   In addition, in a conventional cylindrical vibration isolator, generally, when a vulcanization molding of an integrally vulcanized molded product composed of a main rubber elastic body vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of a shaft member and a stopper portion, A so-called stopper clearance is formed. At this time, it is difficult to make the stopper clearance sufficiently small due to the strength of the mold. Furthermore, the stopper clearance is made zero, that is, the connecting portion and the stopper portion are in contact with each other. It was impossible at all. Therefore, the spring characteristics in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the main rubber elastic body and the displacement restriction characteristics of the outer cylinder member and the shaft member by the stopper can be tuned only within a limited range.

かかる状況下、特許文献2には、軸部材の外周面に加硫接着された本体ゴム弾性体が、合成樹脂製の外筒部材の内周面に固着されると共に、本体ゴム弾性体とは別個の独立したゴム部材からなる二つのストッパ部材が、外筒部材の内側において、軸部材を間に挟んだ両側に設けられる空所を隔てて配置された状態で、外筒部材の内周面に固着されてなる構造の筒型防振装置が、明らかにされている。   Under such circumstances, Patent Document 2 discloses that the main rubber elastic body vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube member made of synthetic resin, and the main rubber elastic body is The inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder member in a state where two stopper members made of separate independent rubber members are arranged inside the outer cylinder member with a space provided on both sides sandwiching the shaft member therebetween. A cylindrical anti-vibration device having a structure fixed to is clarified.

このような構造を有する筒型防振装置にあっては、例えば、共通化された単一種類の本体ゴム弾性体と共に、ストッパ部材として、厚さ(筒型防振装置に装着された状態下での外筒部材からの突出高さに相当する寸法)が互いに異なる各種のストッパ部材の中から適宜に選択されたものを用いることによって、ストッパクリアランスの大きさを、使用されるストッパ部材の厚さに応じて、容易に且つ任意に設定することが出来る。それ故、ストッパクリアランスが、小さな寸法であっても、或いはゼロであっても、所望の寸法で有利に確保され、以て、必要とされる防振特性やストッパ効果が、有効に発揮され得ることとなる。   In the cylindrical vibration isolator having such a structure, for example, a single type of main body rubber elastic body is used as a stopper member with a thickness (in a state where it is attached to the cylindrical vibration isolator). The size of the stopper clearance can be determined by using the one appropriately selected from various stopper members having different dimensions (corresponding to the height of the protrusion from the outer cylindrical member). Accordingly, it can be easily and arbitrarily set. Therefore, even if the stopper clearance is small or zero, it is advantageously ensured with a desired dimension, so that the necessary anti-vibration characteristics and the stopper effect can be effectively exhibited. It will be.

そして、かくの如き構造によれば、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置を製造する際に、共通化された単一種類の本体ゴム弾性体の幾つかと、厚さが互いに異なる多数種類のストッパ部材とが、互いに別個に製作される。そのため、複数種類の筒型防振装置の製造に際して、本体ゴム弾性体とストッパ部とを一体的に有する一体加硫成形品の多数種類を、その種類の数に応じた数だけ、大型の成形金型を用いて製作する必要がある従来構造とは異なって、ストッパ部材のみを、製造されるべき防振装置の種類の数に応じた数だけ、比較的に小型の成形金型を用いて製作するだけで済む。そして、それによって防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置を製造する際における一つ一つの筒型防振装置の製造コストが、有利に低く抑えられ得ると共に、その生産効率も効果的に高められ得るのである。   According to such a structure, when manufacturing a plurality of types of cylindrical vibration isolators having different vibration isolating characteristics and stopper effects, the thickness of some of the common single type main rubber elastic bodies is increased. Various types of stopper members having different lengths are manufactured separately from each other. Therefore, when manufacturing a plurality of types of cylindrical vibration isolator, a large number of types of integrally vulcanized molded products integrally having a main rubber elastic body and a stopper portion are formed according to the number of types. Unlike the conventional structure that needs to be manufactured using a mold, only the stopper member is used in a number corresponding to the number of types of vibration isolators to be manufactured. Just make it. In addition, the manufacturing cost of each cylindrical vibration isolator when manufacturing a plurality of types of cylindrical vibration isolators having different vibration isolating characteristics and stopper effects can be advantageously reduced, and the production Efficiency can also be increased effectively.

ところが、かかる従来の筒型防振装置にあっては、軸部材の外周面に加硫接着された本体ゴム弾性体と二つのストッパ部材とが、それらの間に空所が形成されるように、成形金型内の所定位置にセットされた後、溶融樹脂が、成形キャビティ内に射出等により充填され、固化せしめられて、外筒部材が成形されると同時に、かかる外筒部材の内周面に、本体ゴム弾性体と二つのストッパ部材とが固着されることにより製造されるようになっている。そのため、そのような製造作業の実施に際して、予め設定された大きさのストッパクリアランスが確保されるように、本体ゴム弾性体と各ストッパ部材とを、一つずつ、互いに離間させた状態で、正確に位置決めしつつ、成形金型内にセットしなければならず、しかも、そのような本体ゴム弾性体と二つのストッパ部材の成形金型内へのセット作業の前に、それら三つの部材の一つ一つに対して、各部材を樹脂製の外筒部材と接着させるための接着剤を塗布する接着処理作業をも行う必要があった。それ故、かくの如き従来の筒型防振装置においては、その製造時の作業工数が多くなって、製造作業の全体が極めて煩雑なものとなってしまうことが避けられなかったのである。   However, in such a conventional cylindrical vibration isolator, the main rubber elastic body vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member and the two stopper members are formed so that a space is formed between them. After being set at a predetermined position in the molding die, the molten resin is filled into the molding cavity by injection or the like and solidified to form the outer cylinder member, and at the same time, the inner circumference of the outer cylinder member The main body rubber elastic body and two stopper members are fixed to the surface. Therefore, when carrying out such a manufacturing operation, the main rubber elastic body and each stopper member are accurately separated from each other so as to ensure a stopper clearance of a preset size. In addition, it is necessary to set it in the mold while positioning it, and before setting the main rubber elastic body and the two stopper members into the mold, For each one, it was necessary to perform an adhesion processing operation for applying an adhesive for adhering each member to the resin outer cylinder member. Therefore, in the conventional cylindrical vibration isolator as described above, it is inevitable that the number of work steps at the time of manufacturing increases and the entire manufacturing work becomes extremely complicated.

このような本発明に従う構造を有する筒型防振装置にあっては、ストッパ部を有するストッパ部形成部材と本体ゴム弾性体とが、互いに独立した別個の部材にて構成されているところから、ストッパ部材と本体ゴム弾性体とが別個の部材からなる従来装置と同様に、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置の製造に際して、共通化された単一種類の本体ゴム弾性体を製作し、それとは別にストッパ部形成部材として、ストッパ部の高さ(筒型防振装置に装着された状態下での外筒部材からのストッパ部の突出高さ)が互いに異なる各種のストッパ部形成部材のみを製作すれば良く、それによって、複数の種類だけ準備が必要となる成形金型が、ストッパ部形成部材を成形するためだけの比較的に小型のもので済むようになって、成形金型の製作コストの低減が可能となる。また、ストッパ部形成部材自体も、本体ゴム弾性体を含む一体加硫成形品に比して小さいものであるため、製品取り数を大きく出来、以て、生産効率の向上が有利に図られ得る。そして、それらの結果として、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類の筒型防振装置を製造する際に、一つ一つの筒型防振装置の製造コストが有利に低く抑えられ得ると共に、その生産性も効果的に高められ得ることとなる。また、ストッパクリアランスの大きさが、十分に小さな寸法であっても、或いはゼロであっても、所望の寸法で有利に確保され、以て、必要とされる防振特性やストッパ効果が有効に発揮され得る。   In the cylindrical vibration isolator having such a structure according to the present invention, the stopper portion forming member having the stopper portion and the main rubber elastic body are constituted by separate members independent from each other. Similar to the conventional device in which the stopper member and the main rubber elastic body are separate members, a single type of main body is used in common when manufacturing multiple types of cylindrical vibration isolators having different anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effects. A rubber elastic body is manufactured, and as a stopper part forming member, the height of the stopper part (the height of the stopper part protruding from the outer cylinder member when mounted on the cylindrical vibration isolator) is different from each other. It is only necessary to manufacture various stopper part forming members, so that a molding die that requires preparation of a plurality of types can be made relatively small for molding the stopper part forming member. It is, it is possible to reduce the production cost of the mold. Further, since the stopper portion forming member itself is smaller than the integrally vulcanized molded product including the main rubber elastic body, the number of products can be increased, and thus the production efficiency can be advantageously improved. . As a result, when manufacturing a plurality of types of cylindrical vibration isolators having different vibration isolation characteristics and stopper effects, the manufacturing cost of each cylindrical vibration isolator can be advantageously reduced. The productivity can be effectively increased. In addition, even if the stopper clearance is sufficiently small or zero, it is advantageously ensured with the desired dimensions, so that the required anti-vibration characteristics and the stopper effect are effective. Can be demonstrated.

そして、本発明に係る筒型防振装置においては、特に、ストッパ部を有するストッパ部形成部材が、本体ゴム弾性体に対して、その筒部に設けられた貫通孔に嵌合されて、組み付けられてなる組付体が、その外周面の全面において、外筒部材の内周面に固着されることにより、軸部材と外筒部材とが、本体ゴム弾性体にて連結されると共に、ストッパ部形成部材が、外筒部材の内周面に固着されて、構成されている。そのため、例えば、外筒部材が、成形金型への樹脂射出成形にて成形されると共に、かかる成形金型への樹脂射出成形操作により、組付体の外周面の全面が、外筒部材の内周面に固着される場合には、そのような成形金型への樹脂射出成形操作の実施に際して、先ず、組付体の外周面に対して、その全面に接着剤を塗布する接着処理作業が行われ、その後、組付体の全体を成形金型内にセットする作業が実施される。   And in the cylindrical vibration isolator according to the present invention, in particular, the stopper part forming member having the stopper part is fitted into the through hole provided in the cylindrical part and assembled to the main rubber elastic body. The assembled body is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical member on the entire outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the shaft member and the outer cylindrical member are connected by the main rubber elastic body, and the stopper The part forming member is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder member. Therefore, for example, the outer cylinder member is molded by resin injection molding to the molding die, and the entire outer peripheral surface of the assembly is made of the outer cylinder member by the resin injection molding operation to the molding die. In the case of being fixed to the inner peripheral surface, when performing the resin injection molding operation on such a molding die, first, an adhesive processing operation for applying an adhesive to the entire outer peripheral surface of the assembly After that, an operation of setting the entire assembly in the molding die is performed.

それ故、そのような筒型防振装置では、従来装置とは異なって、成形金型への樹脂射出成形による外筒部材の成形操作を実施する際に、本体ゴム弾性体とストッパ部形成部材とに対して、それぞれ別個に、一つずつ接着処理を行う必要がなく、また、それら本体ゴム弾性体とストッパ部形成部材とを、成形金型内の所定位置に、一つずつ順番にセットする手間も省かれ得る。そして、それにより、製造時の作業工数が有利に削減されて、製造作業の簡略化が有利に図られ得る。   Therefore, in such a cylindrical vibration isolator, unlike the conventional apparatus, when performing the molding operation of the outer cylinder member by resin injection molding to the molding die, the main rubber elastic body and the stopper portion forming member In addition, it is not necessary to perform the bonding process separately one by one, and the main rubber elastic body and the stopper portion forming member are set one by one in a predetermined position in the molding die. The trouble of doing it can be saved. As a result, the number of work steps during production can be advantageously reduced, and the production work can be simplified.

従って、かくの如き本発明に従う筒型防振装置にあっては、ゼロをも含む所望のストッパクリアランスが有利に確保されて、必要とされる防振特性やストッパ効果が、更に一層有効に発揮され得る。また、製造時の作業工数の削減が図られて、生産性が効果的に高められ得るだけでなく、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類のものが製造される際の製造コストが、極めて有利に低減せしめられ得ることとなるのである。   Therefore, in the cylindrical vibration isolator according to the present invention as described above, a desired stopper clearance including zero is advantageously ensured, and the necessary vibration isolating characteristics and the stopper effect are more effectively exhibited. Can be done. In addition, the number of work man-hours at the time of manufacturing can be reduced, and not only productivity can be effectively increased, but also the manufacturing cost when manufacturing a plurality of types having different anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effects from each other, It can be reduced very advantageously.

そして、本発明に従う筒型防振装置の製造方法にあっても、上記せる本発明に従う筒型防振装置において奏される優れた作用・効果と実質的に同一の作用・効果が、極めて有効に享受され得ると共に、そのような優れた特徴を発揮する筒型防振装置が有利に製造され得るのである。   Even in the method for manufacturing a cylindrical vibration isolator according to the present invention, the substantially same operation and effect as the excellent effects exhibited in the cylindrical vibration isolator according to the present invention described above are extremely effective. Thus, a cylindrical vibration isolator that exhibits such excellent characteristics can be advantageously manufactured.

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。   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には、本発明に従う筒型防振装置の一実施形態としての自動車のエンジンマウントが、その横断面形態において示され、また、図2には、かかるエンジンマウントの縦断面形態が示されている。それらの図において、エンジンマウント10は、軸部材としての内筒金具12と、この内筒金具12の周りに径方向(軸直角方向)外方に所定距離を隔てて且つ所定量だけ偏心して位置せしめられた外筒部材14とを有し、更に、それら内筒金具12と外筒部材14とが、それらの間に介装された本体ゴム弾性体16によって、弾性的に連結されてなる構造とされている。   First, FIG. 1 shows an automotive engine mount as an embodiment of a cylindrical vibration isolator according to the present invention in a cross-sectional form thereof, and FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional form of such an engine mount. It is shown. In these drawings, an engine mount 10 is positioned with an inner cylinder fitting 12 as a shaft member and a predetermined distance away from the inner cylinder fitting 12 at a predetermined distance outward in the radial direction (perpendicular to the axis). And a structure in which the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the outer cylinder member 14 are elastically connected by a main rubber elastic body 16 interposed therebetween. It is said that.

なお、本実施形態のエンジンマウント10においては、防振連結されるべき二つの部材たる、図示しないボデーとパワーユニットのうちの何れか一方に、内筒金具12が取り付けられる一方、それらボデーとパワーユニットのうちの何れか他方に、外筒部材14が取り付けられ、主として、図1において上下方向となる径方向(軸直角方向)に入力される振動荷重に対して、目的とする防振特性が発揮され得るようになっている。   In the engine mount 10 of the present embodiment, the inner cylinder fitting 12 is attached to any one of a body and a power unit (not shown), which are two members to be vibration-proof connected. An outer cylinder member 14 is attached to either one of them, and the intended vibration-proof characteristic is exerted mainly on the vibration load input in the radial direction (vertical direction perpendicular to the axis) in FIG. To get.

より詳細には、内筒金具12は、厚肉の小径円筒形状を有しており、その内孔18内に、図示しない枢軸(例えば、取付ボルト等)が挿通されて、ボデー又はパワーユニットに取り付けられるようになっている。   More specifically, the inner cylinder fitting 12 has a thick, small-diameter cylindrical shape, and a pivot (not shown) (for example, a mounting bolt) is inserted into the inner hole 18 to be attached to the body or the power unit. It is supposed to be.

一方、外筒部材14は、例えば、繊維補強されたポリアミド樹脂等のように、入力荷重に耐え得る強度と剛性を有する合成樹脂材料を用いて形成されており、内筒金具12よりも短い軸方向長さとそれよりも大なる径を有する略厚肉円筒状の筒体部20と、この筒体部20の外周面上の二箇所に突設された略厚肉平板状の取付板部22,22とを一体的に有している。また、それら各取付板部22には、円筒形状を呈する金属製の取付スリーブ24が、板厚方向に延び、且つ取付板部22の厚さ方向両側の面において外方に開口する状態で、それぞれ埋設されている。かくして、外筒部材14が、二つの取付スリーブ24,24に挿通されたボルト等により、各取付板部22において、ボデー又はパワーユニットに取り付けられるようになっている。   On the other hand, the outer cylinder member 14 is formed using a synthetic resin material having strength and rigidity that can withstand an input load, such as a fiber reinforced polyamide resin, and has a shorter shaft than the inner cylinder fitting 12. A substantially thick cylindrical cylindrical body portion 20 having a length in the direction and a larger diameter, and a substantially thick flat plate mounting plate portion 22 projecting at two locations on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body portion 20. , 22 are integrated. Further, in each of the mounting plate portions 22, a metal mounting sleeve 24 having a cylindrical shape extends in the plate thickness direction and opens outward on both sides in the thickness direction of the mounting plate portion 22. Each is buried. Thus, the outer cylinder member 14 is attached to the body or the power unit at each of the attachment plate portions 22 by bolts or the like inserted through the two attachment sleeves 24 and 24.

そして、本実施形態では、そのような外筒部材14の筒体部20が、内筒金具12の径方向外方に所定距離を隔てて配されていると共に、これら外筒部材14の筒体部20と内筒金具12との間に、本体ゴム弾性体16が介装されているのである。なお、内筒金具12は、エンジンマウント10の自動車への装着状態下で、パワーユニット荷重が入力される方向とは反対の方向(図1における上方)に、外筒部材14の筒体部20の軸心から所定寸法だけ偏心して配されており、それによって、エンジンマウント10の自動車への装着時に、内筒金具12と外筒部材14の筒体部20との間にパワーユニット荷重が及ぼされた際に、内筒金具12と外筒部材14の筒体部20とが略同軸的に位置せしめられるようになっている。また、前記せるように、エンジンマウント10の自動車への装着状態下において、かかる内筒金具12と外筒部材14の筒体部20との間に対して、内筒金具12の略偏心方向に対応する径方向(図1における上下方向)に、主たる振動荷重が入力されるようになっている。   And in this embodiment, while the cylindrical part 20 of such an outer cylinder member 14 is distribute | arranged to the radial direction outward of the inner cylinder metal fitting 12 at predetermined distance, the cylinder of these outer cylinder members 14 is provided. The main rubber elastic body 16 is interposed between the portion 20 and the inner cylinder fitting 12. In addition, the inner cylindrical metal fitting 12 has the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the power unit load is input (upward in FIG. 1) in a state where the engine mount 10 is mounted on the automobile. The power unit load is exerted between the inner cylindrical fitting 12 and the cylindrical portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14 when the engine mount 10 is mounted on the automobile. At this time, the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the cylinder part 20 of the outer cylinder member 14 are positioned substantially coaxially. Further, as described above, in a state where the engine mount 10 is mounted on an automobile, the inner cylinder fitting 12 is substantially eccentric with respect to the space between the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylinder member 14. The main vibration load is input in the corresponding radial direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1).

そして、本体ゴム弾性体16は、全体として、略厚肉円筒形状を有しており、その内周面に、内筒金具12が加硫接着された状態で、形成されている。即ち、ここでは、内筒金具12と本体ゴム弾性体16とが、一体加硫成形品26として、構成されている。   The main rubber elastic body 16 has a substantially thick cylindrical shape as a whole, and is formed in a state where the inner cylinder fitting 12 is vulcanized and bonded to the inner peripheral surface thereof. That is, here, the inner cylindrical metal member 12 and the main rubber elastic body 16 are configured as an integrally vulcanized molded product 26.

この一体加硫成形品26を構成する本体ゴム弾性体16には、図3及び図4から明らかなように、内筒金具12を主たる振動荷重の入力方向(内筒金具12の略偏心方向に対応する径方向)に挟んだ両側部分に位置して、それぞれ、本体ゴム弾性体16を軸方向に貫通して延びる第一空所28と第二空所30とが、対称的に形成されている。第一空所28は、内筒金具12の偏心方向、つまり内筒金具12と外筒部材14の筒体部20との離間距離が小なる側において、本体ゴム弾性体16の周方向に略半周の長さで延びる略弓形状を有している。一方、第二空所30は、内筒金具12の偏心方向とは反対側の方向、つまり内筒金具12と外筒部材14の筒体部20との離間距離が大なる側において、内筒金具12側に位置する上底が、それとは反対側に位置する下底よりも短くされた略台形形状を有している。   As is apparent from FIGS. 3 and 4, the main rubber elastic body 16 constituting the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 has the inner cylinder fitting 12 in the main vibration load input direction (in the substantially eccentric direction of the inner cylinder fitting 12). A first cavity 28 and a second cavity 30 are formed symmetrically, which are located on both side portions sandwiched between the corresponding radial directions) and extend through the main rubber elastic body 16 in the axial direction. Yes. The first space 28 is substantially in the circumferential direction of the main rubber elastic body 16 on the eccentric direction of the inner cylinder fitting 12, that is, on the side where the separation distance between the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the cylinder portion 20 of the outer cylinder member 14 is small. It has a substantially arcuate shape that extends half the length. On the other hand, the second space 30 is formed in the direction opposite to the eccentric direction of the inner cylinder fitting 12, that is, on the side where the separation distance between the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylinder member 14 increases. The upper base located on the metal fitting 12 side has a substantially trapezoidal shape that is shorter than the lower base located on the opposite side.

かくして、ここでは、図1、図3、及び図4に示されるように、第一空所28と第二空所30との間に挟まれて位置する本体ゴム弾性体16の内周部分が、内筒金具12の外周面に加硫接着されて、内筒金具12と外筒部材14の筒体部20とを連結する連結部32とされている一方、第一及び第二空所28,30のそれぞれの外側壁部を構成する本体ゴム弾性体16の外周部分が、内筒金具12の周りに、その径方向(軸直角方向)外方に離間配置されて、外周面の全面において、外筒部材14の筒体部20の内周面に固着された筒部34として、構成されている。また、かかる連結部32が、内筒金具12側から外筒部材14の筒体部20側に向かって、偏心方向とは反対方向(図3における下方)に傾斜して延びる二つの梁状部分からなる略断面逆V字形状とされている。これにより、エンジンマウント10への振動荷重の入力時に、連結部32が、第一及び第二空所28,30内で剪断方向に弾性変形可能とされて、本体ゴム弾性体16の径方向(軸直角方向)のばね特性が柔らかくされている。   Thus, here, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the inner peripheral portion of the main rubber elastic body 16 located between the first space 28 and the second space 30 is located. The first and second cavities 28 are connected to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder fitting 12 by vulcanization and are connected to connect the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylinder member 14. , 30 and the outer peripheral portion of the main rubber elastic body 16 constituting the outer wall portions are spaced apart from each other outward in the radial direction (perpendicular to the axis) around the inner cylindrical metal fitting 12, and on the entire outer peripheral surface. The cylindrical portion 34 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14. Further, the two connecting portions 32 extend so as to incline in the direction opposite to the eccentric direction (downward in FIG. 3) from the inner cylinder fitting 12 side toward the cylinder part 20 side of the outer cylinder member 14. It is made into the substantially cross-section reverse V shape which consists of. Thereby, when the vibration load is input to the engine mount 10, the connecting portion 32 can be elastically deformed in the shear direction in the first and second cavities 28 and 30, and the radial direction of the main rubber elastic body 16 ( The spring characteristics in the direction perpendicular to the axis are softened.

そして、図1及び図2に示されるように、本実施形態においては、特に、上記の如き構造を有して対称的に位置する本体ゴム弾性体16の第一空所28内と第二空所30内とに、連結部32の弾性変形を規制する第一ストッパ部36と第二ストッパ部38とが、それぞれ、特別な構造をもって設けられているのである。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, in particular, the inside of the first space 28 and the second space of the main rubber elastic body 16 having the above-described structure and being symmetrically positioned. The first stopper portion 36 and the second stopper portion 38 for restricting the elastic deformation of the connecting portion 32 are respectively provided with special structures in the place 30.

すなわち、ここでは、図3及び図4より明らかな如く、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34の対称的に位置する周上の二箇所の部分、具体的には、内筒金具12の偏心方向に対応する径方向において、本体ゴム弾性体16の連結部32の内筒金具12を取り囲む部分を間に挟んで対向せしめられた筒部34の二つの対向部分が、内側に膨出されて厚肉化された第一厚肉部40と第二厚肉部42とされている。そして、第一厚肉部40には、第一貫通孔44が、また、第二厚肉部42には、第二貫通孔46が、それぞれ、各厚肉部40,42を厚さ方向に貫通して、形成されている。それら第一及び第二貫通孔44,46は、各厚肉部40,42の周方向長さよりも所定寸法だけ小さな幅と、各厚肉部40,42の軸方向長さよりも所定寸法だけ小さな長さとを有する矩形形状を有している。かくして、ここでは、第一空所28が、第一貫通孔44を通じて、また第二空所30が、第二貫通孔46を通じて、それぞれ外部に連通せしめられている。   That is, here, as is apparent from FIGS. 3 and 4, two portions on the circumference located symmetrically of the cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16, specifically, the eccentric direction of the inner cylindrical metal member 12. In the radial direction corresponding to, two opposing portions of the cylindrical portion 34 that are opposed to each other with the portion surrounding the inner cylindrical metal fitting 12 of the connecting portion 32 of the main rubber elastic body 16 inflated are thickened. The first thick portion 40 and the second thick portion 42 that are made thicker are formed. The first thick portion 40 has a first through hole 44, and the second thick portion 42 has a second through hole 46 in the thickness direction. It penetrates and is formed. The first and second through holes 44 and 46 have a width that is smaller than the circumferential length of each thick portion 40 and 42 by a predetermined dimension, and a smaller than the axial length of each thick portion 40 and 42 by a predetermined dimension. It has a rectangular shape having a length. Thus, here, the first space 28 communicates with the outside through the first through hole 44 and the second space 30 through the second through hole 46.

また、それら第一及び第二貫通孔44,46の各内周面における筒部34の軸心側(内筒金具12側)に偏寄した部位には、断面矩形形状をもって所定高さで突出し且つ全周に亘って周方向に連続してのびる係合突条48が、それぞれ、一体形成されている。   Further, a portion of each inner peripheral surface of the first and second through holes 44 and 46 that is offset toward the axial center side (inner cylinder fitting 12 side) of the cylindrical portion 34 has a rectangular cross section and protrudes at a predetermined height. In addition, engaging protrusions 48 that extend continuously in the circumferential direction over the entire circumference are integrally formed.

そして、本実施形態においては、図1及び図2に示されるように、第一貫通孔44と第二貫通孔46とに対して、本体ゴム弾性体16と同一のゴム材料からなる第一ストッパ部形成部材50と第二ストッパ部形成部材52とが、それぞれ嵌合されている。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first stopper made of the same rubber material as that of the main rubber elastic body 16 with respect to the first through hole 44 and the second through hole 46.

第一ストッパ部形成部材50は、図1、図2及び図5から明らかなように、全体として、断面が略ホームベース型の五角形とされた長手の厚板形態乃至はブロック形態を呈している。そして、その厚さ乃至は高さ方向(図2中の上下方向)の一方側部分が、略厚肉矩形板状の第一嵌合部54とされている一方、その他方側部分が、かかる第一嵌合部54から所定の高さで一体的に突出し、且つ先端に向かうに従って次第に狭幅化された、略三角柱状の第一ストッパ部36とされている。   As is apparent from FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, the first stopper portion forming member 50 has a long thick plate shape or block shape having a substantially home-base pentagonal cross section as a whole. . And the one side part of the thickness thru | or height direction (up-down direction in FIG. 2) is made into the 1st fitting part 54 of a substantially thick rectangular plate shape, On the other hand, the other side part takes The first stopper portion 36 has a substantially triangular prism shape that protrudes integrally from the first fitting portion 54 at a predetermined height and is gradually narrowed toward the tip.

また、そのような第一ストッパ部形成部材50にあっては、第一嵌合部54側(図5における上側)の端面が、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34の外周面と同一の径を有する円弧面とされており、更に、かかる円弧面とされた端面に隣り合う四つの側面からなる外周面に対して、矩形の係合溝56が、全周に連続して延びるように形成されている。この係合溝56は、その深さと幅が、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34の第一貫通孔44の内周面に突設された係合突条48が突入して、係合可能な大きさとされている。   Further, in such a first stopper portion forming member 50, the end surface on the first fitting portion 54 side (the upper side in FIG. 5) has the same diameter as the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16. Further, a rectangular engagement groove 56 is formed so as to continuously extend over the entire circumference with respect to the outer peripheral surface composed of four side surfaces adjacent to the end surface that is the circular arc surface. Has been. The engagement groove 56 has a depth and a width that can be engaged with an engagement protrusion 48 that protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the first through hole 44 of the cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16. It is said to be a big size.

そして、第一ストッパ部形成部材50においては、第一嵌合部54の厚さ(図5にTs1 にて示される寸法)が、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34における前記第一厚肉部40の厚さ(図3にTg1 にて示される寸法)と略同じ寸法とされており、また、第一嵌合部54からの第一ストッパ部36の最大突出高さ(図5にHs1 にて示される寸法)が、第一厚肉部40と、第一空所28を隔てて第一厚肉部40と対向する前記連結部32部分との間の最小距離(図3にHg1 にて示される寸法)よりも所定寸法だけ小なる大きさとされている。 Then, in the first stopper portion forming member 50, the thickness of the first fitting portion 54 (dimension indicated by Ts 1 in FIG. 5), the first thick in the cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16 The thickness is substantially the same as the thickness of the portion 40 (the dimension indicated by Tg 1 in FIG. 3), and the maximum protrusion height of the first stopper portion 36 from the first fitting portion 54 (in FIG. 5). The dimension indicated by Hs 1 ) is the minimum distance between the first thick portion 40 and the connecting portion 32 portion facing the first thick portion 40 across the first space 28 (see FIG. 3). The dimension is smaller by a predetermined dimension than the dimension indicated by Hg 1 .

一方、図1、図2及び図6から明らかなように、第二ストッパ部形成部材52も、全体として、断面が略ホームベース型の五角形とされた長手の厚板形態乃至はブロック形態を呈し、その厚さ乃至は高さ方向(図2中の上下方向)の一方側部分が、略厚肉矩形板状の第二嵌合部58とされている一方、その他方側部分が、かかる第二嵌合部58から所定高さで一体的に突出し、且つ先端に向かうに従って次第に狭幅化された、略三角柱状の第二ストッパ部38とされている。   On the other hand, as is apparent from FIGS. 1, 2 and 6, the second stopper portion forming member 52 as a whole also takes the form of a long thick plate or block having a substantially home-base pentagonal cross section. The one side portion in the thickness or height direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2) is a second fitting portion 58 having a substantially thick rectangular plate shape, while the other side portion is the first portion. The second stopper portion 38 has a substantially triangular prism shape that integrally protrudes from the two fitting portions 58 at a predetermined height and is gradually narrowed toward the tip.

また、そのような第二ストッパ部形成部材52にあっても、第一ストッパ部形成部材50と同様に、第二嵌合部58側(図5における上側)の端面が、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34の外周面と同一の径を有する円弧面とされていると共に、外周面に対して、前記係合突条48が突入して、係合可能な矩形の係合溝56が、全周に連続して延びるように形成されている。   Further, even in the second stopper portion forming member 52, the end surface on the second fitting portion 58 side (the upper side in FIG. 5) is the main rubber elastic body 16, as in the first stopper portion forming member 50. A circular arc surface having the same diameter as the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 34, and the engaging protrusion 48 enters the outer peripheral surface so that a rectangular engaging groove 56 that can be engaged is formed. It is formed to extend continuously around the entire circumference.

さらに、第二ストッパ部形成部材52においては、第二嵌合部54の厚さ(図5にTs2 にて示される寸法)が、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34における前記第二厚肉部42の厚さ(図3にTg2 にて示される寸法)と略同じ寸法とされており、また、第二嵌合部58からの第二ストッパ部38の最大突出高さ(図5にHs2 にて示される寸法)が、第二厚肉部42と、第二空所30を隔てて第二厚肉部42と対向する前記連結部32部分との間の最小距離(図3にHg2 にて示される寸法)よりも所定寸法だけ小なる大きさとされている。 Further, in the second stopper portion forming member 52, the thickness of the second fitting portion 54 (the dimension indicated by Ts 2 in FIG. 5) is the second thick wall in the cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16. The thickness is approximately the same as the thickness of the portion 42 (the dimension indicated by Tg 2 in FIG. 3), and the maximum protrusion height of the second stopper portion 38 from the second fitting portion 58 (in FIG. 5). (The dimension indicated by Hs 2 ) is the minimum distance between the second thick part 42 and the connecting part 32 portion facing the second thick part 42 across the second space 30 (see FIG. 3). The dimension is smaller than the dimension indicated by Hg 2 by a predetermined dimension.

そして、図1及び図2に示されるように、第一ストッパ部形成部材50が、外筒部材14の筒体部20の内周面に固着された本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34の第一貫通孔44を通じて、第一ストッパ部36を第一空所28内に突入させた状態で、第一嵌合部54において、第一貫通孔44に嵌合せしめられている。また、第二ストッパ部形成部材52も、本体ゴム弾性体16の筒部34の第二貫通孔46を通じて、第二ストッパ部38を第二空所30内に突入させた状態で、第二嵌合部58において、第二貫通孔46に嵌合せしめられている。更に、そのような嵌合状態下で、各ストッパ部形成部材50,52にそれぞれ設けられた係合溝56内に、第一貫通孔44と第二貫通孔46の各内周面に設けられた係合突条48がそれぞれ突入せしめられて、それら係合突条48と係合溝56とが互いに係合せしめられている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first stopper portion forming member 50 has a first cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16 fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14. The first stopper portion 36 is fitted into the first through hole 44 in the first fitting portion 54 with the first stopper portion 36 protruding into the first space 28 through the one through hole 44. Further, the second stopper portion forming member 52 is also fitted in the second fitting state with the second stopper portion 38 protruding into the second space 30 through the second through hole 46 of the cylindrical portion 34 of the main rubber elastic body 16. The joint 58 is fitted into the second through hole 46. Further, in such a fitted state, the first through hole 44 and the second through hole 46 are provided on the inner peripheral surfaces in the engagement grooves 56 provided in the stopper part forming members 50 and 52, respectively. The engaging ridges 48 are respectively inserted, and the engaging ridges 48 and the engaging grooves 56 are engaged with each other.

これによって、第一ストッパ部36と第二ストッパ部38とが、第一空所28と第二空所30のそれぞれの内部において、内筒金具12の外周面に加硫接着された連結部32部分に対して、各ストッパ部36の各嵌合部54,58からの突出高さ:Hs1 ,Hs2 に応じた距離を隔てて対向するように位置決めされている。また、後述する如く、エンジンマウント10の製造時において、第一及び第二ストッパ形成部材50,52が、外筒部材14の筒体部20に固着される前の本体ゴム弾性体16(一体加硫成形品26)の第一及び第二貫通孔44,46にそれぞれ嵌合された際に、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52(第一及び第二嵌合部54,58)が、第一及び第二貫通孔44、46内から容易に離脱せしめられないようにされて、それら第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52(第一及び第二嵌合部54,58)の第一及び第二貫通孔44,46への嵌合状態が良好に維持されるようになっている。このことから明らかなように、本実施形態では、係合突条48と係合溝56とにて、係合機構が構成されている。 As a result, the first stopper portion 36 and the second stopper portion 38 are vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical metal member 12 in each of the first space 28 and the second space 30. The stoppers 36 are positioned so as to face each other with a distance corresponding to the height of protrusions Hs 1 and Hs 2 from the fitting parts 54 and 58 of the stoppers 36. Further, as will be described later, when the engine mount 10 is manufactured, the main rubber elastic body 16 (integrated addition) before the first and second stopper forming members 50 and 52 are fixed to the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14. The first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 (first and second fitting portions 54 and 58) when fitted into the first and second through holes 44 and 46 of the sulfur molded product 26), respectively. However, the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 (first and second fitting portions 54 and 58 are prevented from being easily detached from the first and second through holes 44 and 46. ) Is well maintained in the first and second through holes 44 and 46. As is apparent from this, in the present embodiment, the engagement protrusion 48 and the engagement groove 56 constitute an engagement mechanism.

そして、そのようにして第一及び第二貫通孔44,46に嵌合された第一ストッパ形成部材50と第二ストッパ部形成部材52とが、第一嵌合部54と第二嵌合部58の円弧面とされた各端面の全面において、外筒部材14の筒体部20の内周面に固着されている。   And the 1st stopper formation member 50 and the 2nd stopper part formation member 52 which were fitted by the 1st and 2nd through-holes 44 and 46 in that way are the 1st fitting part 54 and the 2nd fitting part. 58 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14 on the entire surface of each end surface which is an arc surface.

かくして、本実施形態においては、第一ストッパ部36と第二ストッパ部38とが、第一空所28と第二空所30のそれぞれの内部において、外筒部材14の筒体部20側から内筒金具12側に向かって、主たる振動荷重の入力方向に対応した径方向に、各ストッパ部36,38の各嵌合部54,58からの突出高さ:Hs1 ,Hs2 と同一高さで突出して、設けられている。 Thus, in the present embodiment, the first stopper portion 36 and the second stopper portion 38 are respectively located from the cylindrical body portion 20 side of the outer cylindrical member 14 inside the first cavity 28 and the second cavity 30. Projection heights from the fitting portions 54 and 58 of the stopper portions 36 and 38 in the radial direction corresponding to the input direction of the main vibration load toward the inner cylinder fitting 12 side: the same height as Hs 1 and Hs 2 Protruding and provided.

そして、それによって、本実施形態のエンジンマウント10にあっては、主たる振動荷重の入力方向に対応した径方向(軸直角方向)における外筒部材14の筒体部20と内筒金具12との相対的変位量が、内筒金具12の外周面に加硫接着された連結部32部分と第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38との当接により規制され、以て、外筒部材14と内筒金具12とにそれぞれ取り付けられるボデーとパワーユニット(共に図示せず)との間で過大な変位が生ずることが、防止され得るようになっている。   As a result, in the engine mount 10 of the present embodiment, the cylindrical portion 20 of the outer cylindrical member 14 and the inner cylindrical fitting 12 in the radial direction (axially perpendicular direction) corresponding to the input direction of the main vibration load. The relative displacement amount is regulated by the contact between the connecting portion 32 portion vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical metal member 12 and the first and second stopper portions 36 and 38, so that the outer cylindrical member 14 Excessive displacement can be prevented from occurring between the body and the power unit (both not shown) respectively attached to the inner cylinder fitting 12.

また、ここでは、外筒部材14の筒体部20と内筒金具12との相対的変位の規制量となるストッパクリアランスのうち、第一空所28内のストッパクリアランスが、第一空所28を隔てて互いに対向する第一厚肉部40と連結部32との間の最小距離:Hg1 から、第一ストッパ部36の第一嵌合部54からの突出高さ:Hs1 を差し引いた大きさに設定されている一方、第二空所30内のストッパクリアランスが、第二空所30を隔てて互いに対向する第二厚肉部42と連結部32との間の最小距離:Hg2 から、第二ストッパ部38の第二嵌合部58からの突出高さ:Hs2 を差し引いた大きさに設定されている。 Further, here, the stopper clearance in the first space 28 is the first space 28 among the stopper clearances that are the amount of restriction of the relative displacement between the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer tube member 14 and the inner tube metal 12. The protrusion height: Hs 1 from the first fitting portion 54 of the first stopper portion 36 is subtracted from the minimum distance: Hg 1 between the first thick portion 40 and the coupling portion 32 facing each other with a gap therebetween. On the other hand, the stopper clearance in the second space 30 is set to the size, and the minimum distance between the second thick portion 42 and the connecting portion 32 facing each other across the second space 30 is Hg 2. from the protruding height from the second fitting portion 58 of the second stopper portion 38: is set to a size obtained by subtracting the Hs 2.

ところで、かくの如き構造を有する本実施形態のエンジンマウント10を製造する際には、例えば、以下の手順に従って、作業が進められることとなる。   By the way, when manufacturing the engine mount 10 of the present embodiment having such a structure, for example, the operation is performed according to the following procedure.

すなわち、先ず、図3及び図4に示される如き構造を有する一体加硫成形品26を成形して、準備する。なお、この一体加硫成形品26は、例えば、本体ゴム弾性体16を構成する所定のゴム材料を用いると共に、内筒金具12をインサート品として用いた公知の射出成形を実施することによって、容易に成形される。   That is, first, an integrally vulcanized molded product 26 having a structure as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is formed and prepared. The integral vulcanization molded product 26 can be easily obtained by using, for example, a predetermined rubber material constituting the main rubber elastic body 16 and performing known injection molding using the inner cylinder fitting 12 as an insert product. To be molded.

また、それとは別に、図5及び図6に示される如き構造を有する第一ストッパ部形成部材50と第二ストッパ部形成部材52とを、それぞれ成形して、準備する。これら第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52の成形に際しても、例えば、公知の射出成形等が、実施される。   Separately, the first stopper part forming member 50 and the second stopper part forming member 52 having the structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are respectively prepared by molding. For molding the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52, for example, known injection molding or the like is performed.

次に、図7の(a)及び(b)に示される如く、上記のようにして準備された一体加硫成形品26における本体ゴム弾性体16の第一貫通孔44と第二貫通孔46とに、第一ストッパ部形成部材50と第二ストッパ部形成部材52とを嵌合させる。これにより、第一ストッパ部36と第二ストッパ部38とが、各貫通孔44,46を通じて、第一空所28内と第二空所30内とに突入せしめられた状態で、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52が一体加硫成形品26に組み付けられてなる組付体59を形成する。   Next, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the first through hole 44 and the second through hole 46 of the main rubber elastic body 16 in the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 prepared as described above. The first stopper part forming member 50 and the second stopper part forming member 52 are fitted together. As a result, the first stopper portion 36 and the second stopper portion 38 are inserted into the first space 28 and the second space 30 through the through holes 44 and 46, respectively. An assembled body 59 is formed by assembling the second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 to the integrally vulcanized molded product 26.

なお、前述せるように、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52の第一及び第二貫通孔44,46への嵌合状態で、各ストッパ部形成部材50,52の外周面に設けられた係合溝56に、第一及び第二貫通孔44,46の内周面に設けられた係合突条48が係合せしめられて、かかる嵌合状態が良好に維持される。そのため、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52と一体加硫成形品26との組付状態も容易には解消されないようになっている。   As described above, the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 in the fitted state with the first and second through holes 44 and 46. Engagement ridges 48 provided on the inner peripheral surfaces of the first and second through holes 44 and 46 are engaged with the formed engagement grooves 56, and the fitting state is maintained well. Therefore, the assembled state of the first and second stopper part forming members 50 and 52 and the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 is not easily eliminated.

また、上記のようにして組付体59が形成されると同時に、第一ストッパ部36の第一嵌合部54からの突出高さ:Hs1 や第二ストッパ部38の第二嵌合部58からの突出高さ:Hs2 に基づいて、第一空所28内や第二空所30内のストッパクリアランスのそれぞれの大きさが設定されるようになる。 Further, at the same time as the assembly 59 is formed as described above, the protruding height of the first stopper portion 36 from the first fitting portion 54: Hs 1 and the second fitting portion of the second stopper portion 38. Based on the protrusion height from 58: Hs 2 , the respective sizes of the stopper clearances in the first space 28 and the second space 30 are set.

次いで、かくして形成された組付体59の外周面の全面に対する接着処理作業を実施する。ここでは、かかる接着処理作業として、一体加硫成形品26(本体ゴム弾性体16)の筒部34の外周面の全面と、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52における第一及び第二嵌合部54,58の端面の全面とに対して、公知の接着剤を塗布する作業が、一作業の中で一挙に行われることとなる。   Next, an adhesion processing operation is performed on the entire outer peripheral surface of the assembly 59 thus formed. Here, as such an adhesion treatment work, the entire outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 34 of the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 (main rubber elastic body 16) and the first and second stopper portions forming members 50 and 52 are first and second. The operation of applying a known adhesive to the entire end surfaces of the two fitting portions 54 and 58 is performed at once in one operation.

その後、図8の(a)に示されるように、外筒部材14の外面形状に対応する内面形状を有して、公知の射出成形金型60に形成された成形キャビティ62のうち、筒体部20の形成部分の内側に、組付体59の全体をセットする一方、取付板部22(図1参照)の形成部分に、別途準備された二つの取付スリーブ24,24をそれぞれセットする。また、このとき、組付体59における一体加硫成形品26(本体ゴム弾性体16)の第一空所28内と第二空所30内とに、それら各空所28,30に対応した形状を有するコア型63が、それぞれ収容位置せしめられる。   After that, as shown in FIG. 8A, a cylindrical body among the molding cavities 62 having an inner surface shape corresponding to the outer surface shape of the outer cylinder member 14 and formed in a known injection mold 60. The entire assembly 59 is set inside the portion where the portion 20 is formed, while two mounting sleeves 24 and 24 prepared separately are set on the portion where the mounting plate portion 22 (see FIG. 1) is formed. At this time, in the first vacant space 28 and the second vacant space 30 of the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 (main rubber elastic body 16) in the assembly 59, these cavities 28 and 30 correspond to each other. Each of the core molds 63 having a shape is accommodated.

そして、それに引き続き、図8の(b)に示されるように、組付体59と二つの取付スリーブ24,24がセットされた成形キャビティ62内に、溶融樹脂材料64を射出、充填する。その後、かかる溶融樹脂材料64を、成形キャビティ62内で冷却、固化せしめて、外筒部材14を成形すると共に、この外筒部材14の筒体部20の内周面に、組付体59の外周面(筒部34の外周面の全面と、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52における第一及び第二嵌合部54,58の端面の全面)が固着させる。これにより、目的とする、図1及び図2に示される如き構造を備えたエンジンマウント10を得る。その後、かかるエンジンマウント10が射出成形金型60から離型されて、使用に供されることとなる。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8B, the molten resin material 64 is injected and filled into the molding cavity 62 in which the assembly 59 and the two mounting sleeves 24, 24 are set. Thereafter, the molten resin material 64 is cooled and solidified in the molding cavity 62 to mold the outer cylinder member 14, and on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body portion 20 of the outer cylinder member 14, The outer peripheral surface (the entire outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 34 and the entire end surfaces of the first and second fitting portions 54 and 58 in the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52) are fixed. As a result, the target engine mount 10 having the structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained. Thereafter, the engine mount 10 is released from the injection mold 60 and used.

このように、本実施形態のエンジンマウント10においては、本体ゴム弾性体16と内筒金具12とからなる一体加硫成形品26と、第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38を有する第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52とが、互いに別個の独立した部材にて構成されて、それら一体加硫成形品26と第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52との組付時に、第一及び第二空所28,30内のストッパクリアランスが、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52における第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38のそれぞれの突出高さ:Hs1 ,Hs2 に基づいて、それぞれ設定される。 As described above, in the engine mount 10 of the present embodiment, the first and second vulcanized molded products 26 composed of the main rubber elastic body 16 and the inner tubular fitting 12 and the first and second stopper portions 36 and 38 are provided. The second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 are constituted by independent members that are separate from each other, and when the integrated vulcanized molded product 26 and the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 are assembled, The stopper clearances in the first and second cavities 28 and 30 are the protruding heights of the first and second stopper portions 36 and 38 in the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52, respectively: Hs 1 and Hs. Each is set based on 2 .

それ故、かかるエンジンマウント10にあっては、単に、一体加硫成形品26とは別個に成形される第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52の第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38の突出高さ:Hs1 ,Hs2 を変更するだけで、ストッパクリアランスの大きさを任意の大きさに容易に変えることが出来、しかも、例えば、内筒金具と本体ゴム弾性体とからなる一体加硫成形品の金型成形による加硫成形時に、各空所が形成されるような構造とされた従来装置とは異なって、一体加硫成形品26の成形に用いられる金型の強度の低下を招くことなく、ストッパクリアランスの大きさを十分に小さくしたり、或いはゼロとしたりすることが可能となる。そして、その結果として、本体ゴム弾性体16の径方向(軸直角方向)のばね特性や、外筒部材14と内筒金具12の径方向における相対的変位の規制量等が、より幅広い範囲で容易にチューニングされ得、以て、必要とされる防振特性やストッパ効果が、極めて有利に確保され得ることとなるのである。 Therefore, in the engine mount 10, the first and second stopper portions 36 and 38 of the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 that are formed separately from the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 are simply used. The height of the protrusion: The stopper clearance can be easily changed to an arbitrary size simply by changing Hs 1 , Hs 2 , and, for example, an integral body made of an inner tube fitting and a main rubber elastic body Unlike the conventional apparatus in which each cavity is formed at the time of vulcanization molding by mold molding of the vulcanized molded product, the strength of the mold used for molding the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 is improved. It is possible to make the size of the stopper clearance sufficiently small or zero without causing a decrease. As a result, the spring characteristics of the main rubber elastic body 16 in the radial direction (perpendicular to the axis), the amount of regulation of the relative displacement in the radial direction of the outer cylinder member 14 and the inner cylinder fitting 12, etc. are in a wider range. It can be easily tuned, so that the necessary anti-vibration characteristics and the stopper effect can be ensured extremely advantageously.

また、そのように、本実施形態のエンジンマウント10においては、一体加硫成形品26とは別個の部材からなる第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52の第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38の突出高さ:Hs1 ,Hs2 を変更するだけで、ストッパクリアランスの大きさを任意の大きさに変えることが出来る。そのため、例えば、共通化された単一種類の一体加硫成形品26の幾つかを製作し、また、第一ストッパ部36や第二ストッパ部38の突出高さ:Hs1 ,Hs2 が互いに異なる第一ストッパ部形成部材50と第二ストッパ部形成部材52とをそれぞれ複数種類ずつ製作することにより、ストッパクリアランスの大きさが種々異なる複数種類のエンジンマウント10の製造に、容易に対応することが可能となる。 Further, as described above, in the engine mount 10 of the present embodiment, the first and second stopper portions 36 of the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 made of a member different from the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 are used. 38, the height of the stopper clearance can be changed to an arbitrary size simply by changing the height Hs 1 , Hs 2 . Therefore, for example, several common single-type vulcanized molded products 26 are manufactured, and the protrusion heights Hs 1 and Hs 2 of the first stopper portion 36 and the second stopper portion 38 are mutually equal. By manufacturing a plurality of different types of the first stopper portion forming member 50 and the second stopper portion forming member 52, it is possible to easily cope with the manufacture of a plurality of types of engine mounts 10 having different stopper clearance sizes. Is possible.

そして、それ故、本実施形態のエンジンマウント10の構造によれば、本体ゴム弾性体に対してストッパ部が一体成形されてなる従来装置の構造とは異なって、ストッパクリアランスの大きさが種々異なる複数種類のエンジンマウントの製造に対応するために、共通化された単一種類の本体ゴム弾性体16(一体加硫成形品26)を製作する一方、ストッパ部36,38の突出高さが種々異なる複数種類のストッパ部形成部材50,52をそれぞれ製作することで、様々な高さのストッパ部が一体成形された本体ゴム弾性体と内筒金具との一体加硫成形品を、多数製作する必要が、有利に解消され得る。その結果、ストッパクリアランスの大きさが種々異なる複数種類のエンジンマウントの製造に際して、ストッパ部形成部材50,52のみを複数種類製作するだけで済むようになり、そのために、成形金型の小型化が可能となって、金型の作製コストが有利に低減され得る。また、ストッパ部形成部材50,52自体も小さいものであるところから、その製品取り数も多く為すことが可能となり、生産効率の向上も図られ得る。従って、ストッパクリアランスの大きさが種々異なる複数種類のエンジンマウント10、即ち、防振特性やストッパ効果が互いに異なる複数種類のエンジンマウント10を製造する際における一つ一つのエンジンマウント10の製造コストが有利に低く抑えられ得ると共に、生産性の向上も有利に実現され得るのである。   Therefore, according to the structure of the engine mount 10 of the present embodiment, the size of the stopper clearance is different from the structure of the conventional device in which the stopper portion is integrally formed with the main rubber elastic body. In order to cope with the manufacture of a plurality of types of engine mounts, a single type of main rubber elastic body 16 (integrated vulcanized molded product 26) that is made common is manufactured, while the protrusions of the stopper portions 36 and 38 have various protrusion heights. A plurality of different types of stopper part forming members 50 and 52 are manufactured, so that a large number of integrally vulcanized molded parts of the main rubber elastic body and the inner cylindrical metal fittings, which are integrally formed with stopper parts of various heights, are manufactured. The need can be advantageously eliminated. As a result, when manufacturing a plurality of types of engine mounts having different sizes of stopper clearances, it is only necessary to manufacture a plurality of types of stopper portion forming members 50 and 52. For this reason, the molding die can be downsized. This makes it possible to advantageously reduce the production cost of the mold. Further, since the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 themselves are small, it is possible to increase the number of products to be produced, and the production efficiency can be improved. Accordingly, the manufacturing cost of each engine mount 10 when manufacturing a plurality of types of engine mounts 10 having different stopper clearance sizes, that is, a plurality of types of engine mounts 10 having different anti-vibration characteristics and stopper effects, is required. It can be advantageously kept low and an improvement in productivity can also be realized advantageously.

また、本実施形態に係るエンジンマウント10にあっては、その製造時に、互いに別個の部材からなる一体加硫成形品26と第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52とに対する接着処理作業が、それら一体加硫成形品26と第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52とが組み付けられてなる組付体59の外周面の全面に対して、一作業の中で一挙に行われる。しかも、一体加硫成形品26と第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52とを、外筒部材14を与える成形キャビティ62内にセットする作業も、組付体59の全体をセットする一作業によって行われる。それ故、例えば、一体加硫成形品26と第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52の接着処理作業や成形キャビティ内へのセット作業のそれぞれを、それらの一つずつに、三回に分けて行う必要がある従来装置に比して、製造時の作業工数が有利に削減されて、製造作業の簡略化が有利に図られ得る。そして、その結果として、生産性の向上が、極めて効果的に達成され得ることとなるのである。   Further, in the engine mount 10 according to the present embodiment, during the production thereof, the adhesion treatment work for the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 and the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 made of separate members is performed. Then, the integrated vulcanized molded product 26 and the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 are assembled all at once in one operation on the entire outer peripheral surface of the assembly 59. In addition, the work of setting the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 and the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 in the molding cavity 62 for providing the outer cylinder member 14 is also one of setting the entire assembly 59. Done by work. Therefore, for example, each of the bonding treatment work of the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 and the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 and the setting work in the molding cavity are performed three times in one by one. Compared to a conventional apparatus that needs to be performed separately, the number of work steps during the production can be advantageously reduced, and the production work can be simplified. As a result, an improvement in productivity can be achieved extremely effectively.

さらに、かかるエンジンマウント10では、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52が、第一及び第二貫通孔44,46に嵌合されて一体加硫成形品26に組み付けられた状態下において、各ストッパ部形成部材50,52の係合溝56に、各貫通孔44,46の内周面に設けられた係合突条48が係合せしめられて、第一及び第二ストッパ部形成部材50,52と一体加硫成形品26との組付状態が容易には解消されないようになっている。そのため、成形金型60の成形キャビティ62内への組付体59のセット作業が、スムーズに且つ容易に行われ得る。しかも、かかるセット作業に際して、第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38の第一及び第二空所28,30内への突入高さや突入位置が変わってしまうことも有利に防止され、以て、所望の防振特性やストッパ効果が、より有利に且つ安定的に確保され得ることとなる。   Further, in the engine mount 10, the first and second stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 are fitted to the first and second through holes 44 and 46 and assembled to the integrally vulcanized molded product 26. The engaging protrusions 48 provided on the inner peripheral surfaces of the through holes 44 and 46 are engaged with the engaging grooves 56 of the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 to form the first and second stopper portions. The assembled state of the members 50 and 52 and the integrally vulcanized molded product 26 is not easily canceled. Therefore, the assembly work of the assembly 59 in the molding cavity 62 of the molding die 60 can be performed smoothly and easily. In addition, during such a setting operation, it is also advantageously prevented that the entry height and entry position of the first and second stopper portions 36, 38 into the first and second cavities 28, 30 are changed, Desired vibration isolation characteristics and a stopper effect can be ensured more advantageously and stably.

また、本実施形態においては、本体ゴム弾性体16に、第一及び第二の二つの空所28,30が、内筒金具12を間に挟んで、主たる振動荷重の入力方向の両側に形成されると共に、それら各空所28,30内に、第一及び第二ストッパ部36,38が、それぞれ設けられているところから、主たる振動荷重の入力時に、十分な防振特性と優れたストッパ効果とが、より有利に発揮され得る。   In the present embodiment, the main rubber elastic body 16 has first and second two cavities 28 and 30 formed on both sides in the input direction of the main vibration load with the inner cylindrical fitting 12 interposed therebetween. In addition, since the first and second stopper portions 36 and 38 are provided in the voids 28 and 30, respectively, sufficient anti-vibration characteristics and an excellent stopper are provided when a main vibration load is input. The effect can be exerted more advantageously.

以上、本発明の具体的な構成について詳述してきたが、これはあくまでも例示に過ぎないのであって、本発明は、上記の記載によって、何等の制約をも受けるものではない。   The specific configuration of the present invention has been described in detail above. However, this is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited by the above description.

例えば、前記実施形態では、本体ゴム弾性体16の内筒金具12を挟んだ径方向の両側に、第一空所28と第二空所30とが、対称的に設けられていたが、そのような空所は、従来と同様な構造において一つ又は複数設けられ得るものであり、その配設形態は、適宜に設定される。また、空所が複数設けられる場合には、各空所の大きさが、同一の大きさであっても、互いに異なる大きさであっても良い。   For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first space 28 and the second space 30 are provided symmetrically on both sides in the radial direction across the inner cylindrical fitting 12 of the main rubber elastic body 16. One or a plurality of such voids can be provided in the same structure as the conventional one, and the arrangement form is appropriately set. When a plurality of vacant spaces are provided, the size of each vacant space may be the same size or different from each other.

また、空所が複数設けられる場合において、ストッパ部は、必ずしも全ての空所内に設けられている必要はなく、要求されるストッパ効果等に応じて、幾つかの空所内に、適当な大きさにおいて設けられることとなる。   In addition, in the case where a plurality of vacant spaces are provided, the stopper portion does not necessarily have to be provided in all the vacant spaces, and may have an appropriate size in some vacant spaces depending on the required stopper effect, etc. Will be provided.

さらに、前記実施形態では、ストッパ部36,38を有するストッパ部形成部材50,52が、本体ゴム弾性体16と同一のゴム材料を用いて構成されていたが、ストッパ部形成部材50,52の形成材料としては、エンジンマウント10に要求される防振特性やストッパ効果等に応じて、本体ゴム弾性体16とは異なる種類のゴム材料やエラストマ材料、或いは弾性を有する樹脂材料等の各種の弾性体材料が使用可能である。また、第一ストッパ部形成部材50と第二ストッパ部位形成部材52とを、互いに異なる種類の弾性体材料にて形成しても、何等差し支えない。   Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the stopper part formation members 50 and 52 which have the stopper parts 36 and 38 were comprised using the rubber material same as the main body rubber elastic body 16, the stopper part formation members 50 and 52 are comprised. As a forming material, various elastic materials such as a rubber material, an elastomer material, or a resin material having elasticity, which are different from the main rubber elastic body 16, depending on the vibration isolation characteristics and the stopper effect required for the engine mount 10. Body material can be used. The first stopper portion forming member 50 and the second stopper portion forming member 52 may be formed of different types of elastic materials.

更にまた、ストッパ部形成部材50,52の全体形状やそれらに設けられた各ストッパ部36,38の形状も、例示のものに何等限定されるものではない。勿論、ストッパ部形成部材50,52が嵌合せしめられる各貫通孔44,46の大きさや形状も、ストッパ部形成部材50,52の形状や大きさに応じて、適宜に変更されるところである。   Furthermore, the overall shape of the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 and the shapes of the stopper portions 36 and 38 provided on them are not limited to the illustrated ones. Of course, the size and shape of the through holes 44 and 46 into which the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 are fitted are also appropriately changed according to the shape and size of the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52.

また、本体ゴム弾性体16の形状も、従来から公知の筒型防振装置に設けられる本体ゴム弾性体の形状が、何れも採用され得ることは、言うまでもないところである。そして、そのような本体ゴム弾性体16の形状に応じて、空所や貫通孔の配設位置が適宜に決定されることとなる。   It goes without saying that any shape of the main rubber elastic body 16 provided in a conventionally known cylindrical vibration isolator can be adopted as the main rubber elastic body 16. Then, according to the shape of the main rubber elastic body 16, the positions of the voids and the through holes are appropriately determined.

さらに、ストッパクリアランスの大きさも、筒型防振装置に要求される防振特性やストッパ効果等に応じて、適宜に変更されるところである。従って、例えば、図9に示されるように、第一空所28内の第一ストッパ部36の先端と、第二空所30内の第二ストッパ部38の先端とを、第一空所28と第二空所30とにて挟まれた連結部32に接触させて、ストッパクリアランスをゼロと為すことも出来る。このように、ストッパクリアランスの大きさがゼロとされた筒型防振装置66は、例えば、トルクロッドの取付スリーブ内に挿入されて、取り付けられる防振ブッシュ等として、好適に利用される。なお、図9に示される実施形態に関しては、図1及び図2に示される前記第一の実施形態と同様な構成とされた部材及び部位について、図1及び図2と同一の符号を付すことにより、その詳細な説明を省略した。   Furthermore, the size of the stopper clearance is also changed as appropriate according to the vibration isolating characteristics and the stopper effect required for the cylindrical vibration isolator. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the front end of the first stopper portion 36 in the first space 28 and the front end of the second stopper portion 38 in the second space 30 are connected to the first space 28. It is also possible to make the stopper clearance zero by contacting the connecting portion 32 sandwiched between the second space 30 and the second clearance 30. Thus, the cylindrical vibration isolator 66 having a stopper clearance of zero is preferably used as a vibration isolating bush or the like that is inserted into and attached to a torque rod mounting sleeve, for example. In addition, regarding the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are assigned to members and parts having the same configuration as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Therefore, the detailed description was omitted.

更にまた、ストッパ部形成部材50,52の嵌合部54,58の外周面と、本体ゴム弾性体16の貫通孔44,46の内周面との間に形成される係合機構は、例示の構造の他、係合溝56を貫通孔44,46の内周面に設ける一方、係合突条48を嵌合部54,58の外周面に設けてなる構造や、それ以外の公知の構造が、適宜に採用され得る。   Furthermore, the engagement mechanism formed between the outer peripheral surfaces of the fitting portions 54 and 58 of the stopper portion forming members 50 and 52 and the inner peripheral surfaces of the through holes 44 and 46 of the main rubber elastic body 16 is exemplified. In addition to the structure described above, the engagement groove 56 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the through holes 44 and 46, while the engagement protrusion 48 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portions 54 and 58, or other known publicly known structures. A structure can be adopted as appropriate.

更にまた、外筒部材についても、合成樹脂製で、且つ軸部材の周りに、その軸直角方向外方に離間して配されて、本体ゴム弾性体にて軸部材と連結されたのものであれば、その具体的な構造が、何等限定されるものではなく、例えば、図9に示されるような筒体部20のみにて構成されていても良い。   Further, the outer cylinder member is also made of a synthetic resin and is arranged around the shaft member so as to be spaced outward in the direction perpendicular to the axis and connected to the shaft member by a main rubber elastic body. The specific structure is not limited in any way, and for example, it may be configured by only the cylindrical body portion 20 as shown in FIG.

また、内筒金具12と外筒部材14は、例示の如く、偏心して位置せしめられる他、図9に示されるように、同軸的に位置せしめられた形態において、本体ゴム弾性体16にて、互いに連結せしめられる。   In addition, the inner cylinder fitting 12 and the outer cylinder member 14 are eccentrically positioned as illustrated, and as shown in FIG. 9, in the form of being positioned coaxially, with the main rubber elastic body 16, Connected to each other.

加えて、前記実施形態では、本発明を、自動車のエンジンマウントその製造方法及び自動車の連結ロッドの防振ブッシュに適用したものの具体例を示したが、本発明は、その他、各種の自動車用或いは自動車用以外の筒型防振装置とその製造方法とに対しても、有利に適用され得るものであることは、勿論である。   In addition, in the said embodiment, although the specific example of what applied this invention to the engine mount its manufacturing method of a motor vehicle, and the vibration-proof bushing of the connecting rod of a motor vehicle was shown, this invention is for various other vehicles or Of course, the present invention can be advantageously applied to a cylindrical vibration isolator other than for automobiles and a manufacturing method thereof.

その他、一々列挙はしないが、本発明は、当業者の知識に基づいて、種々なる変更、修正、改良等を加えた態様において実施され得るものであり、また、そのような実施の態様が、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて、何れも、本発明の範疇に含まれるものであることは、言うまでもないところである。   In addition, although not enumerated one by one, the present invention can be implemented in a mode to which various changes, modifications, improvements, and the like are added based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art. It goes without saying that any of the embodiments falls within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
