Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid-filled vibration-proof support device used in, for example, an automobile, and in particular, a structure for suppressing a noise generated by a collision of a movable plate in a case where a movable plate is accommodated inside a partition member of a liquid chamber. Belongs to the technical field.

  Conventionally, an engine mount for automobiles is known as this type of anti-vibration support device. The basic structure is that a rubber elastic body is interposed between the mounting member on the engine side and the support member on the vehicle body side, and the volume of the liquid chamber is changed between the two members so that the volume changes with the deformation of the rubber elastic body. In addition, the liquid chamber is divided into a pressure receiving chamber and an equilibrium chamber, and an orifice passage is provided so as to communicate the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber.

  The orifice passage is tuned to a vibration having a relatively low frequency and a large amplitude, such as vibration at engine start, rattling vibration at shift, or shake, and the like, and through this, the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber are tuned. The vibration (liquid column resonance) generated when the liquid flows between them can effectively attenuate the vibration input to the engine mount.

  On the other hand, the partition member that divides the liquid chamber into the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber as described above includes a pair of partition walls disposed on the pressure receiving chamber side and the equilibrium chamber side with a predetermined gap in between. A storage chamber for storing the movable plate is formed between the walls. In addition, each partition wall is formed with a communication hole with the pressure receiving chamber or the equilibrium chamber, and the fluctuation of the hydraulic pressure transmitted through these communication holes is absorbed by the movement of the movable plate. Yes.

  That is, when a vibration with a relatively high frequency and a small amplitude that causes the orifice passage to become clogged is input, the hydraulic pressure fluctuation of the pressure receiving chamber is transmitted to the storage chamber through the communication hole of the partition wall, In this storage chamber, the movable plate is absorbed by synchronizing vibration. As described above, when a vibration having a relatively low frequency and a large amplitude is input, the movable plate that has received the hydraulic pressure fluctuation is pressed against the partition wall to close the communication hole.

  By the way, as described above, when the movable plate moves in the accommodation chamber in the partition member, an impact is generated when the movable plate abuts against the partition wall and is transmitted to the vehicle body side, and noise may be generated in the vehicle interior. is there. The magnitude of such abnormal noise varies depending on the transmission characteristics on the vehicle body side, but if the impact can be reduced, the abnormal noise also decreases.

  Therefore, for example, in the engine mount described in Patent Document 1, a large number of concave dimples are formed on both surfaces of the movable plate, and the partition walls facing each surface (in the same document, described as a top plate portion, a bottom plate portion, etc., respectively) ), The gaps are partially formed by the dimples. As a result, the area of the movable plate that contacts the partition wall surface is reduced, and the impact can be reduced.

Moreover, in the thing of patent document 2, the center of the some communicating hole (it describes as slot opening etc. in the same document) each provided in the said partition wall is decentered from the center of a movable plate to the radial direction one side, By tilting the movable plate in the radial direction by the hydraulic pressure acting in this manner, the movable plate is brought into contact with the partition wall surface with a time delay from a portion on one side in the radial direction. As a result, the impact is dispersed in time series and alleviated.

  However, even if dimples are formed on both surfaces of the movable plate as in the former conventional example (Patent Document 1), it is not possible to sufficiently reduce the impact caused by contact with the partition wall. There is still room for further reduction. That is, in the above-described conventional example, the dimples are formed only on the inner peripheral portion on both surfaces of the movable plate and not on the outer peripheral portion. This is because a certain area or more comes into contact with the wall surface at the same time.

  In addition, when the center of the plurality of communication holes is eccentric to one side in the radial direction as in the latter conventional example (Patent Document 2), a region having a small number of communication holes is formed on the opposite side. As described in 0063, there is a possibility that the liquid pressure for pressing the movable plate against the partition wall surface is insufficient and the liquid leaks.

  In this regard, paragraph 0064 and FIG. 7 of the same document show that an auxiliary opening is provided on the side opposite to the side where the centers of the plurality of communication holes are eccentric as described above. The original action of tilting the movable plate is impaired by the hydraulic pressure acting from the side.

  In view of such problems, the object of the present invention is to devise the arrangement of the communication holes provided in the partition wall, and to reduce the area that simultaneously contacts the partition wall surface at a portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate. , To effectively disperse and mitigate the impact.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the fluid pressure acting through the communication hole of the partition wall is used to deform at least a portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate so as to wave in the circumferential direction. The impact was distributed.

That is, the invention of claim 1 is a mounting member attached to a supported body, a supporting member that supports the mounting member via a rubber elastic body, and the both members so that the volume changes with deformation of the rubber elastic body. A storage chamber formed inside the partition member, comprising a liquid chamber formed therebetween, a partition member partitioning the liquid chamber into a pressure receiving chamber and an equilibrium chamber, and an orifice passage communicating the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber accommodates a substantially disc-shaped rubber movable plate, the receiving chamber to form a communication hole for communicating with each of the pressure-receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber, the liquid receiving chamber to the equilibrium chamber by the movement of the movable plate The assumption is a liquid-filled vibration-proof support device that absorbs pressure fluctuations.

The movable plate is formed in a flat plate shape at least near the outer periphery, and the partition member is disposed on the pressure receiving chamber side and the equilibrium chamber side so as to partition the storage chamber in the middle. In the case of having a partition wall , at least one partition wall has two or more concentric holes arranged concentrically corresponding to the center of the movable plate, and at least the outer peripheral rows of the communication holes are: Arranged at a predetermined interval or more so that the sum of the opening lengths in the circumferential direction is shorter than the sum of the non-opening lengths, and a plurality of communication holes are arranged in a predetermined manner on each of the partition walls. Accordingly, the hydraulic pressure acting through their passage, in which so as to deform as waviness one at a predetermined interval of at least a portion of at least near the outer periphery in the circumferential direction of the movable plate.

  With the above configuration, first, when vibration with a relatively low frequency and a large amplitude is input to the vibration isolating support device, and the mounting member and the support member are relatively displaced relatively, the pressure receiving chamber is accompanied by deformation of the rubber elastic body. The volume of the fluid changes, and the fluid flows through the orifice passage between the equilibrium chamber and the fluid due to the fluctuation of the fluid pressure. Vibration is effectively absorbed and attenuated by the flow resistance of the liquid.

  At this time, the fluid pressure fluctuation in the pressure receiving chamber also acts on the storage chamber through a communication hole formed in the partition wall on the pressure receiving chamber side of the partition member. The movable plate that receives the pressure is pressed against the partition wall on the equilibrium chamber side to close the communication hole, so that the liquid flows from the storage chamber to the equilibrium chamber, that is, from the pressure receiving chamber to the equilibrium chamber, through the communication hole. In other words, the flow of liquid in the orifice passage is ensured.

  Thus, when the movable plate subjected to the fluid pressure fluctuation in the pressure receiving chamber is pressed against the partition wall on the equilibrium chamber side, at least the portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate is circumferentially driven by the fluid pressure acting through the communication hole. When it is deformed so that it undulates, the part near the outer periphery abuts from the part close to the partition wall surface, that is, the part that is greatly corrugated, so that the abutting range gradually expands while it is crushed and deformed Become.

In other words, the area that simultaneously strikes the partition wall surface at a portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate becomes very small, and the impact on the partition wall surface is dispersed and mitigated in time series. In particular, if the portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate is larger than a predetermined interval, that is, if it is greatly waved, the time during which the impact is dispersed becomes longer, and the peak of the transmission force to the vehicle body side becomes lower. The noise in the passenger compartment can be sufficiently reduced .

If at least the outer peripheral columns communication holes in it their are arranged at predetermined intervals greater than at the site of at least near the outer periphery of the movable plate corresponding thereto, the impact site of the fluid pressure to face in proximity to the communicating hole Since it is strongly received and greatly deformed, the portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate is deformed so as to wave in a cycle corresponding to the interval of the communication holes as a whole.

More preferably, the communication holes are arranged in at least one of the partition walls in a radial pattern corresponding to the center of the movable plate and at a substantially constant interval in the circumferential direction (Claim 2 ). For example, not only the portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate but also the entire movable plate including the portion near the inner periphery can be waved in the circumferential direction. This is advantageous in that the portion near the outer periphery is greatly waved, and the impact on the partition wall can be dispersed not only in the portion near the outer periphery but also in the portion closer to the inner periphery.

Here, the larger the interval between the communicating holes arranged apart from each other in the circumferential direction as described above, the more advantageous it is to make the movable plate wavy, but on the other hand, the opening area of the communicating holes in a limited space It is difficult to ensure the (total), and there is a difficulty that the dynamic spring is increased. Therefore, in consideration of the balance between the two, it is preferable that the circumferential interval between the communication holes is 36 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less at a central angle corresponding to the center of the movable plate (claim 3 ).

  Specifically, if the entire circumference is divided into 10 equal parts, the interval between adjacent communication holes will be 36 degrees at the central angle, if divided into 9 equal parts, 40 degrees, if divided into 8 equal parts, 45 degrees, and so on. In consideration of the balance, a more preferable range is 40 to 72 degrees, and 45 degrees (8 equal parts), about 51.4 degrees (7 equal parts) or 60 degrees (6 equal parts) is particularly preferable.

Preferably, the opening area of the communication hole located closer to the outer periphery of the at least one partition wall is relatively small (Claim 4 ), or the pressure receiving chamber side and the equilibrium are associated with the center of the movable plate. By forming communication holes in both compartment walls on the chamber side (Claim 5 ), the influence of the hydraulic pressure on the portion near the inner periphery of the movable plate becomes relatively strong. This is advantageous in mitigating the impact at a portion near the outer periphery.

By the way, as described above, a large impact acts on the partition wall due to the contact of the movable plate, because the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving chamber suddenly increases due to the input to the vibration isolating support device, It is often the time when it comes into contact with the partition wall on the equilibrium chamber side. Therefore, the one partition wall is assumed equilibrium chamber side, the sum of the opening area of the communication hole in the partition wall of the equilibrium chamber side, preferably smaller than the partition wall of the pressure receiving chamber side (claim 6 ).

  In this way, when the movable plate moves to the equilibrium chamber side due to an increase in the fluid pressure on the pressure receiving chamber side, the liquid pushed by the movable plate is difficult to escape to the equilibrium chamber side. The resistance becomes stronger, and the impact when it abuts against the partition wall is reduced. Specifically, the communication holes on the equilibrium chamber side may be individually made smaller than on the pressure receiving chamber side, or the number of communication holes on the pressure receiving chamber side may be made larger than that on the equilibrium chamber side.

Furthermore, it is preferable that a protrusion is formed at a portion near the inner periphery of the movable plate, and this is first brought into contact with the partition wall surface. For example, at least the equilibrium chamber of the movable plate is provided. An annular ridge may be formed on the side surface so as to straddle the communication hole when abutting against the opposing partition wall (Claim 7 ).

  By so doing, the annular protrusions come into contact with the partition wall surfaces only between the communication holes adjacent in the circumferential direction, so that the impact due to the contact is not so great. In addition, since the contact area does not change even if the position of the movable plate is shifted in the circumferential direction, the magnitude of impact does not change due to variations in the assembly of the movable plate, and abnormal noise in the passenger compartment is kept below a certain level. Will be advantageous.

Alternatively, in the case where an annular region where no communication hole is formed is present on the partition wall facing the accommodation chamber at least from the equilibrium chamber side, the projection is intermittently projected in the circumferential direction of the movable plate in association with the annular region. A part may be formed (claim 8 ). By doing so, the area where the protrusions simultaneously abut against the partition wall surface does not increase as described above, and the abutment area does not change even if the position of the movable plate is shifted in the circumferential direction.

  As described above, according to the vibration isolating support device of the present invention, when the plurality of communication holes are formed in the partition walls on the pressure receiving chamber side and the equilibrium chamber side of the storage chamber for storing the rubber movable plate, respectively. The communication holes in at least one of the partition walls are arranged in a predetermined arrangement, and at least a portion near the outer periphery of the movable plate is deformed so as to wave at a predetermined interval or more in the circumferential direction by the hydraulic pressure acting through the communication holes. The area simultaneously hitting the partition wall at the portion near the outer periphery can be greatly reduced as compared with the conventional case, and the impact can be dispersed and mitigated in time series. Thereby, the peak of the transmission force to the vehicle body side can be significantly reduced, and abnormal noise in the vehicle compartment can be sufficiently reduced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiment is merely illustrative in nature, and is not intended to limit the present invention, its application, or its use.

-Overall configuration-
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which an anti-vibration support device of the present invention is applied to an engine mount A for an automobile. The engine mount A is interposed between an automobile power plant and a vehicle body (not shown), and the power While supporting the load of a plant, the vibration from the said power plant is absorbed or attenuated and the transmission of the vibration to the vehicle body side is suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), and in FIG. 2 (b), a longitudinal section, the engine mount A of this embodiment includes a connection fitting 1 (support member) connected to the vehicle body side by a bracket (not shown). And a cylindrical housing 2 that surrounds and surrounds the outer periphery of the connecting metal 1. The connecting fitting 1 is connected by a rubber elastic body 3 so as to be displaceable in the axial center Z direction with respect to the housing 2 while protruding downward from the lower end of the housing 2.

  Specifically, the connecting fitting 1 has a flange portion 1a protruding outward at a substantially central portion in the vertical direction that is the axis Z direction of the housing 2, and a tapered portion 1b whose upper side is recessed upward. On the other hand, a shaft portion 1c to which a bracket on the vehicle body side is attached is formed below the flange portion 1a, and a bolt hole 1d is opened at a lower end surface thereof. In addition, a relatively thick rubber layer 10 is formed on the collar portion 1a so as to function as a stopper.

  On the other hand, a plate-like mounting portion 2a is projected on the outer periphery on the upper end side of the housing 2, and bolts (not shown) are inserted into the through holes 2b and 2b in the thickness direction, and are attached to the power plant by brackets or the like. It can be attached. That is, in the illustrated engine mount A, the housing 2 also serves as an attachment member to the power plant that is a supported body, and this is supported by the lower connection fitting 1 via the rubber elastic body 3.

  As shown in the figure, the rubber elastic body 3 has a conical shape which is narrowed downward as a whole, and connects the upper inner periphery of the housing 2 and the upper outer periphery of the connection fitting 1. That is, the lower portion of the rubber elastic body 3 is vulcanized and bonded to cover the tapered portion on the upper side of the connecting metal fitting 1, and the thick main spring portion 3a extending radially upward from the vulcanized adhesive, and the main spring portion. The cylindrical portion 3 b overlaps with the upper portion of 3 a and is continuous, and the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 3 b is bonded to the inner periphery of the housing 2. Reinforcing metal fittings 30 are embedded in the cylindrical portion 3b over the entire circumference, and a flange that is bent and extended outward in the radial direction from the upper end thereof protrudes from the vicinity of the upper end of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 3b.

  The rubber elastic body 3 is formed with a hollow portion that opens upward, and an orifice plate 4 and a rubber diaphragm 5 are disposed so as to close the opening. A portion near the outer periphery of the diaphragm 5 is a relatively thick cylindrical portion 5a that covers the entire outer periphery of the orifice platen 4, and a reinforcing metal fitting 50 is embedded in the entire periphery. A flange that is bent and extended radially outward is formed at the lower end of the reinforcing metal fitting 50, and protrudes from the vicinity of the lower end of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 5a.

  Then, the flange of the reinforcing metal fitting 50 protruding from the vicinity of the lower end of the cylindrical portion 5a of the diaphragm 5 is overlapped with the flange of the reinforcing metal fitting 30 of the rubber elastic body 3 from above, and at the same time, an annular ring is formed at the upper end of the housing 2 It is caulked by the bent portion 2c. Thereby, the diaphragm 5 is fixed to the upper end of the housing 2, the hollow part of the rubber elastic body 3 is closed, and a liquid chamber F in which a liquid such as ethylene glycol is sealed is formed.

  The liquid chamber F is for absorbing and mitigating the vibration of the power plant that is input to the rubber elastic body 3, and the inside thereof is partitioned vertically by the orifice board 4. In the figure, the lower side is a pressure receiving chamber f1 in which the volume changes due to deformation of the rubber elastic body 3 due to vibration input, and the hydraulic pressure fluctuates, and the upper side is expanded or reduced by deformation of the diaphragm 5, It is an equilibrium chamber f2 that absorbs the volume fluctuation of the pressure receiving chamber f1.

  The pressure receiving chamber f1 and the equilibrium chamber f2 are communicated with each other by an orifice passage P formed on the outer peripheral side of the orifice plate 4 as will be described in detail later. The orifice passage P is relatively tuned. When vibration with a large amplitude is input at a low frequency, the liquid flows between the pressure receiving chamber f1 and the equilibrium chamber f2 via the orifice passage P, and input to the engine mount A by resonance (liquid column resonance) generated at this time. The vibration is effectively damped.

  FIG. 1 shows an unloaded state in which no static load of the power plant is applied to the engine mount A, and the rubber layer 10 on the lower surface of the flange 1a of the connecting bracket 1 contacts the flange 2d of the housing 2. In the 1G state where the engine mount A is attached to the car body of the automobile and supports the power plant and the static load is applied, the rubber elastic body 3 is bent and the housing 2 is displaced downward. A predetermined gap is formed between the rubber layer 10 and the flange 2d.

-Orifice board structure-
Next, as a characteristic part of the present invention, the structure of the orifice board 4 in the engine mount A will be described in detail. In this embodiment, as described above, the orifice plate 4 is used as a partition member that partitions the liquid chamber F into the pressure receiving chamber f1 and the equilibrium chamber f2. As shown in an enlarged view in FIGS. The member 40 (hereinafter also referred to as the orifice disc body 40) and the lid member 41 are combined to form a relatively thick disc as a whole.

  The main body member 40 is made of, for example, metal (may be made of resin), and substantially cylindrical standing wall portions 40b and 40c are erected on the upper and lower sides of a substantially disc-shaped bottom plate portion 40a. . A recess R having a circular cross section that opens upward is formed in the standing wall portion 40b on the inner peripheral side, and a groove p1 that is open upward is formed on the entire outer periphery thereof. By assembling the lid member 41 so as to cover the upper side, the recess R becomes a storage chamber (hereinafter referred to as a storage chamber R) for storing the movable plate 42, and the groove p <b> 1 becomes a portion on the inner peripheral side of the orifice passage P.

  In the state where the outer periphery of the orifice plate 4 is covered by the cylindrical portion 5a of the diaphragm 5, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 5a and the outer peripheral side wall portion 40c of the orifice plate main body 40 In the meantime, an annular passage serving as a portion on the outer peripheral side of the orifice passage P is formed. One end of this outer peripheral side passage communicates with the pressure receiving chamber f1 through a long hole 40d (shown only in FIG. 3) formed in the bottom plate portion 40a of the orifice panel main body 40, and the outer peripheral side passage made substantially one round from there. The other end communicates with the inner circumferential side passage (the groove p1). The other end of the inner peripheral passage communicates with the equilibrium chamber f <b> 2 through a long hole 41 a formed in the lid member 41.

  Thus, the dimensions (cross-sectional area and length) of the orifice passage P formed by connecting the inner and outer passages are, for example, vibration at engine start, rattling vibration that occurs at the time of shifting, or shake during traveling. The liquid column resonance is caused by such a low-frequency and large-amplitude vibration.

  On the other hand, a rubber movable plate 42 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber R formed on the inner peripheral side of the orifice passage P as described above. For example, the engine vibration that causes idle vibration and booming noise is stored. In addition, when a vibration having a relatively high frequency and a small amplitude is input to the engine mount A and the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving chamber f1 changes small in a relatively short cycle, the movable plate 42 that has received this hydraulic pressure variation is accommodated in the accommodating chamber. The vibration is absorbed by moving (vibrating) in R.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1 (b) and FIG. 2, the center portion of the bottom plate portion 40a of the orifice plate body 40 has a raised bottom that is one step higher than the surroundings, and the upper surface thereof is the bottom surface r1 ( A gap that is slightly larger than the thickness of the movable plate 42 is formed between the ceiling surface r2 facing upward (the lower surface of the central portion of the lid member 41). The bottom surface r1 of the storage chamber R is a partition wall surface with the pressure receiving chamber f1, and the ceiling surface r2 is a partition wall surface with the equilibrium chamber f2, each having a plurality of communication holes 40e, 40e, ..., 41b, 41b, .... It is open.

  More specifically, in this embodiment, communication holes 40e, 40e,... Are formed in the bottom portion of the storage chamber R (the bottom plate portion 40a of the orifice plate body 40), in addition to the center portion corresponding to the center of the movable plate 42, Two rows are arranged on a concentric circle surrounding the same, and the rows are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Each of the communication holes 40e, 40e, ... in the inner circumferential row has a circular cross section, and the communication holes 40e, 40e, ... in the outer circumferential row are alternately arranged in a circular cross section and an oval shape. .

  On the other hand, the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Of the ceiling portion (lid member 41) of the storage chamber R are arranged so as to extend radially outward from the central portion corresponding to the center of the movable plate 42, and The columns are spaced approximately constant from one another. In the example of the figure, the interval between the radially extending communication holes 41b, 41b,... Is approximately 60 ° in the central angle, and the communication holes 41b, 41b,. It can be said that they are arranged in the form of snow crystals.

  In the ceiling surface r2, the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Can be said to be arranged in two rows concentrically in the same manner as the communication holes 40e, 40e,. The circumferential row has the same arrangement as that of the bottom surface r1, but the outer circumferential row is left with a circular cross section except for the elliptical cross section from the communication holes 40e, 40e,. As a result, the sum of the opening lengths in the circumferential direction of the communication holes 41b, 41b,... In the outer circumferential row is shorter than the sum of the non-opening lengths.

  That is, the communication holes 40e,..., 41b,... That connect the storage chamber R of the movable plate 42 to the pressure receiving chamber f1 and the equilibrium chamber f2, respectively, are approximately the same in the entire receiving chamber bottom surface r1 on the pressure receiving chamber f1 side. On the other hand, on the balance chamber f2 side, the entire circumference of the ceiling surface r2 is radially opened at intervals of approximately 60 degrees so as to divide into six equal parts. As a result, the movable plate 42 that has received the hydraulic pressure acting from the pressure receiving chamber f1 and the equilibrium chamber f2 through the communication holes 40e,..., 41b, ... undulates in the circumferential direction as schematically shown in FIG. Will be transformed as follows.

  More specifically, for example, when the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving chamber f1 is increased by an input to the engine mount A, microscopically, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. ) Through the communication holes 40e, 40e,..., And the movable plate 42 is moved to the equilibrium chamber f2 side (the upper side in the drawing) as a whole, and the liquid is balanced from the storage chamber R. Trying to push into chamber f2.

  At this time, in the place close to the communication holes 41b, 41b,... On the equilibrium chamber f2 side arranged radially as described above, the liquid passes through the communication holes 41b, 41b,. Since the movable plate 42 is pushed out smoothly, the movable plate 42 is greatly deformed toward the equilibrium chamber f2. However, the liquid between the ceiling surface r2 and other portions suppresses the deformation of the movable plate 42 in other portions. As described above, the movable plate 42 is deformed so as to wave at a period corresponding to the interval between the communication holes 41b, 41b,.

  When the movable plate 42 deformed so as to undulate in the circumferential direction moves to the equilibrium chamber f2 as a whole, first, the portion that is relatively largely deformed as described above comes into contact with the ceiling surface r2. The contact area gradually expands while the part is crushed and deformed, and the area simultaneously in contact with the ceiling surface r2 becomes very small, so that the impact is effectively dispersed. Moreover, as described above, the impact is also reduced by the liquid existing between the upper surface of the movable plate 42 and the accommodation room ceiling surface r2 serving as a cushion.

  Further, as is apparent from FIGS. 2 and 3, the opening ratio of the communication holes 41b, 41b,... In the accommodation room ceiling surface r2 (ratio between the opening area and the non-opening area) Since it is larger and is more strongly affected by fluid pressure fluctuations than the part near the outer periphery, the part near the inner periphery of the movable plate 42 comes into contact with the ceiling surface r2 earlier. Are formed with protrusions 42a, 42b and protrusions 42c, 42c,... So as to alleviate the impact.

More specifically, first and second protrusions 42a and 42b having a semicircular cross section are formed concentrically on the upper and lower surfaces of the movable plate 42 as shown in FIG. The protrusions 42d, 42d,... Are concentrically formed in two rows, and are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction for each row. Since the protrusions 42a, 42b and the protrusions 42c, 42c,... Are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the movable plate 42 in the same manner, the upper surface will be described below .

  As seen from above along the mount axis Z (not shown in FIG. 3) as shown in FIG. 3, the first and second protrusions 42a and 42b are respectively connected to the communication holes 41b in the outer circumferential row and the inner circumferential row. , 41b,... Are located so as to pass below each communication hole 41b. Therefore, when the movable plate 42 moves upward, the ridge portions 42a and 42b come into contact with the ceiling surface r2 only between the communication holes 41b and 41b adjacent in the circumferential direction.

  As shown in the figure, since the interval between the adjacent communication holes 41b, 41b is relatively large in the outer circumferential row, the contact area between the protrusion 42a and the ceiling surface r2 between them is also relatively large. Since the movable plate 42 undulates in the circumferential direction as described above, the area of contact at the same time is small, and the impact caused by this contact is small. On the other hand, the communication holes 41b, 41b,... In the inner circumferential row are quite close to each other in the circumferential direction, and the interval between them is narrow, so that the protrusion 42b is formed on the ceiling surface r2 between the adjacent communication holes 41b, 41b. The contact area is small and the impact is small.

  In addition, the inner and outer two rows of hemispherical protrusions 42c, 42c,... Correspond to regions where the communication holes 41b, 41b,. That is, the ceiling surface r2 is formed between the central communication hole 41b and the inner peripheral communication holes 41b, 41b,... And the inner peripheral communication holes 41b, 41b,. Between the communication holes 41b, 41b,..., There are annular regions where the communication holes 41b are not formed, and the movable plate 42 has two rows of protrusions 42c, 42c corresponding to these annular regions. , ... are formed.

  Thus, the protrusions 42c, 42c,... Arranged intermittently on the circumference are all hemispherical, and the area that comes into contact with the accommodation room ceiling surface r2 as the movable plate 42 moves upward is relatively small. The impact at this time is small. Further, since any of the protrusions 42c, 42c,... Faces the area where the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Are not formed on the ceiling surface r2, the movable plate 42 rotates around the axis Z. The contact area is almost unchanged.

  This also applies to the first and second protrusions 42a and 42b, and the area where they contact the ceiling surface r2 of the storage chamber R hardly changes due to the rotation of the movable plate 42. . This occurs when the movable plate 42 comes into contact with the bottom surface r1 or the ceiling surface r2 of the storage chamber R even if the position thereof changes in the circumferential direction due to variations in assembling the movable plate 42 to the orifice board 4. This means that the magnitude of the impact does not change. For example, it is advantageous in suppressing abnormal noise in the vehicle interior to a certain level or less by measures on the vehicle body side.

  In the example shown in the drawing, the inner peripheral projections 42c, 42c,... Have a relatively large diameter, and the outer peripheral projections 42c, 42c,... And the first and second projections 42a, 42b. And the upper end is close to the ceiling surface r2.

-Effect-
In the engine mount A provided with the orifice plate 4 having the above-described structure, first, a vibration having a relatively low frequency and a large amplitude, such as a rattling vibration at the time of shifting, is input, and the connection fitting 1 and the housing 2 are connected. When the relative displacement is relatively large, the volume of the pressure receiving chamber f1 changes relatively large with the deformation of the rubber elastic body 3, and the orifice passage between the pressure receiving chamber f1 and the equilibrium chamber f2 due to the fluctuation of the hydraulic pressure caused thereby. The liquid flows through P. Thereby, the input vibration to the engine mount A is satisfactorily absorbed and attenuated.

  At this time, the fluid pressure fluctuation in the pressure receiving chamber f1 also acts on the storage chamber R through the communication holes 40e, 40e,... Formed in the bottom plate portion 40a of the orifice panel body 40 (the bottom of the storage chamber R). However, in this storage chamber R, the movable plate 42 that has been subjected to fluid pressure fluctuation is pressed against the lid member 41 of the orifice panel 4 to close the communication holes 41b, 41b,. The liquid does not flow from the storage chamber R to the equilibrium chamber f2 via the ..., that is, from the pressure receiving chamber f1 to the equilibrium chamber f2, and the liquid flow in the orifice passage P is ensured.

  On the other hand, when vibration with a relatively small amplitude due to engine rotation fluctuation, such as idle vibration, is input and the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving chamber f1 changes small in a short cycle, the small hydraulic pressure fluctuation is caused by the communication holes 40e, 40e,... Is transmitted to the storage chamber R and absorbed by the movement of the movable plate 42 in the storage chamber R.

  Here, for example, when a car gets over a large unevenness on the road surface and a strong force is input to the engine mount A, and the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving chamber F1 rises rapidly, the movable plate 42 in the receiving chamber R receives this, There is a risk that this impact will be transmitted to the vehicle body side and abnormal noise will be generated in the vehicle interior due to contact with the ceiling surface r2 which is the partition wall surface on the equilibrium chamber f2 side. The number of the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Is smaller than the communication holes 40e, 40e,... Of the bottom surface r1, and the sum of the opening areas is small, so that the resistance to the upward movement of the movable plate 42 is increased. The impact when coming into contact with the ceiling surface r2 is alleviated.

  Moreover, when the movable plate 42 comes into contact with the ceiling surface r2, first, the relatively large protrusions 42d, 42d,... On the innermost periphery come into contact with each other, and after this collapses, the protrusions 42d, 42d,. The second and third protrusions 42b and 42c are in contact with each other, and then the entire upper surface of the movable plate 42 is in contact with each other so as to contact with a time delay in order from the inner peripheral side. Thus, the impact force acting on the ceiling portion of the storage chamber R, that is, the lid member 41 of the orifice panel 4 is dispersed and mitigated in time series.

  Further, since the protrusions 42a, 42b and the hemispherical protrusions 42c, 42c,... Of the movable plate 42 that contact the ceiling surface r2 first have a small total contact area, the impact due to the contact is small. Is not a problem.

  Further, the entire movable plate 42 (particularly the portion near the outer periphery) that collides with the ceiling surface r2 of the storage chamber R is deformed so as to be undulated by the hydraulic pressure acting through the communication holes 40e,. As shown in FIG. 4, it comes into contact with the ceiling surface r <b> 2 in order from a relatively greatly deformed part, so that the impact is also effectively dispersed, and at the part that comes in contact with delay, the ceiling surface The liquid between r2 acts as a cushion and the impact is sufficiently mitigated.

  Therefore, according to the engine mount A (anti-vibration support device) according to this embodiment, when the rubber movable plate 42 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber R in the orifice panel 4, the accommodating chamber R communicates with the pressure receiving chamber f1. The communication holes 40e, 40e,... Are arranged substantially evenly, while the communication holes 41b, 41b,... On the equilibrium chamber f2 side are arranged radially at intervals of 60 degrees, and the communication holes 40e,. By deforming the movable plate 42 so that it undulates in the circumferential direction by the hydraulic pressure acting through it, it is possible to effectively disperse and alleviate the impact particularly when the portion near the outer periphery contacts the ceiling surface r2. . Therefore, it is possible to reduce the transmission force to the vehicle body side as compared with the prior art and reduce the abnormal noise in the vehicle interior.

  Further, the arrangement of the communication holes 40e,..., 41b,... As described above makes the total opening area of the communication holes 41b, 41b,. The resistance against the movement of the plate 42 toward the equilibrium chamber f2 can be increased, and the impact of contact with the ceiling surface r2 can be reduced.

  FIG. 5 is a graph showing experimental results obtained by inputting a sine wave vibration having a predetermined period to the engine mount A of this embodiment, measuring the transmission force to the vehicle body side, and examining the frequency characteristics thereof. The graph a indicated by a solid line in the figure is also schematically shown in the figure. As described above, the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Are arranged radially in the accommodation room ceiling r2 (lid member 41) of the orifice panel 4. The characteristic of an Example is shown (in addition, the x mark of a schematic diagram shows that the communicating hole is block | closed).

  Also, the graphs b and c respectively indicated by the one-dot chain line and the two-dot chain line close the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Formed with the communication holes 41b, 41b,. In other words, the characteristic of the comparative example is shown. In c, the same number of communication holes as in the embodiment (a) are closed. Compared to these comparative examples (graphs b and c), in the example (graph a), the transmission force to the vehicle body side decreases over a wide frequency range of 100 to 500 Hz, and the impact caused by the contact of the movable plate 42 It can be seen that is relaxed.

  On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows the result of examining changes in the dynamic spring and transmission force of the engine mount A while changing the ratio of the opening areas of the communication holes 40e,..., 41b,. Is shown. The circles in the figure are cases where the areas of the communication holes 41b, 41b,... That are opened to the entire ceiling surface r2 are changed as in Comparative Example b in FIG. ) Is 5: 5 in general, the transmission force is quite large although the dynamic spring is low.

  Further, when the size of each communication hole 41b in the ceiling surface r2 is reduced stepwise to increase the opening ratio of the pressure receiving chamber f1 side with respect to the equilibrium chamber f2 side (6: 4 to 9: 1), As a result, the transmission force is reduced, but the liquid spring to the balance chamber f2 side becomes worse, so the dynamic spring becomes higher. At this time, the dynamic spring is not so high when the opening ratio is in the range of 5: 5 to 7: 3, so the merit of reducing the transmission force is great, but when it exceeds 7: 3, the dynamic spring rises sharply. become.

  Therefore, in the engine mount A of this embodiment, as described above, by arranging the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Radially on the storage chamber ceiling surface r2, the opening area is made smaller than the pressure receiving chamber f2 side, The opening ratio on the pressure receiving chamber f2 side is set to about 7: 3. In the figure, the asterisk indicates the embodiment, and as described above, the communication holes 41b, 41b,... Are arranged in a radial pattern to reduce the impact and reduce the transmission force to the vehicle body. ing.
