Description
振動伝達系を構成する部材間に介装されて、それらを弾性連結乃至は弾性支持せしめる防振装置であって、特に、内部に封入された非圧縮性流体の流動作用に基づく防振効果を利用した流体封入式防振装置に関する。
A vibration isolator which is interposed between members constituting a vibration transmission system and elastically supports or elastically supports them, and in particular, has a vibration isolating effect based on the flow action of an incompressible fluid sealed inside. The present invention relates to a fluid-filled vibration isolator used.
従来から、受圧室と平衡室をオリフィス通路で連通せしめた流体封入式防振装置において、オリフィス通路のチューニング周波数よりも高周波数域の防振性能を向上させる目的で設けられる液圧吸収機構が知られている。また、かかる液圧吸収機構の一種として、ゴム弾性体からなる可動ゴム膜を用い、その各一方の面に受圧室と平衡室の圧力が及ぼされるようにすることで、受圧室と平衡室の圧力差に基づく可動ゴム膜の弾性変形に基づいて受圧室の微小な圧力変動を吸収するようにした構造が知られている。
Conventionally, in a fluid-filled vibration isolator in which a pressure receiving chamber and an equilibrium chamber are communicated with each other through an orifice passage, a hydraulic pressure absorption mechanism provided for the purpose of improving vibration isolation performance in a higher frequency range than the tuning frequency of the orifice passage has been known. It has been. In addition, as a kind of such a hydraulic pressure absorption mechanism, a movable rubber film made of a rubber elastic body is used, and pressures of the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber are exerted on one surface thereof, so that the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber are A structure that absorbs minute pressure fluctuations in a pressure receiving chamber based on elastic deformation of a movable rubber film based on a pressure difference is known.
そして、この可動ゴム膜による液圧吸収機構においては、一般に、可動ゴム膜の外周縁部を厚肉の環状挟持部とし、この環状挟持部を挟圧支持することによって、受圧室と平衡室の間での自由な流体流動を阻止せしめた状態で、可動ゴム膜が配設されている。
In the hydraulic pressure absorbing mechanism using the movable rubber film, generally, the outer peripheral edge of the movable rubber film is a thick annular sandwiching portion, and the annular sandwiching portion is sandwiched and supported so that the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber are separated. A movable rubber film is disposed in a state in which free fluid flow between the two is blocked.
また、可動ゴム膜としては、その中央部分において厚さ方向両側に突出する弾性突出部を一体形成せしめて、かかる弾性突出部を、第二の取付部材に対して固定的に設けられた当接部材に対して対向位置させて、当接部材に対して弾性的に当接せしめた構造が好適に採用され得る。これは、可動ゴム膜の弾性変形量の制限を、当接部材への当接打音を低減乃至は防止せしめつつ、実現し得るという技術的な効果を達成するものである。
Further, as the movable rubber film, an elastic protrusion that protrudes on both sides in the thickness direction is integrally formed at the central portion thereof, and the elastic protrusion is fixedly provided to the second mounting member. A structure that is opposed to the member and elastically abutted against the abutting member can be suitably employed. This achieves the technical effect that the restriction of the elastic deformation amount of the movable rubber film can be realized while reducing or preventing the contact sound of the contact member.
ところが、このような可動ゴム膜による液圧吸収機構について、本発明者が検討したところ、新たな問題が明らかとなった。即ち、かかる液圧吸収機構を備えた流体封入式防振装置に対して衝撃的な大振動荷重が入力された場合に、異音の発生が問題となるおそれのあることが認められたのである。
However, when the present inventor examined the hydraulic pressure absorption mechanism using such a movable rubber film, a new problem became clear. That is, it has been recognized that the generation of abnormal noise may become a problem when a shocking large vibration load is input to a fluid-filled vibration isolator equipped with such a hydraulic pressure absorbing mechanism. .
この異音の原因が何処にあるのかは、簡単に判るものではなかったが、本発明者が防振装置を切断分解して詳細に調査検討した結果、可動ゴム膜の環状挟持部が支持部材に対して傾動等して擦れることに伴って発生するスティックスリップ音が原因で発生するのであろうという知見を得るに至った。即ち、衝撃的な大振動荷重の入力によって受圧室に過大な圧力変動が惹起された場合に、可動ゴム膜に対して大きな変形が発生し、それが外周縁部の環状挟持部に対して径方向斜め内方への引張力として作用することによって環状挟持部が傾動することとなり、その結果、環状挟持部とそれを挟持する支持部材との間に滑りが発生することが、異音であるスティックスリップ音の原因であろうことを見出したのである。
The cause of this abnormal noise is not easily understood, but as a result of the inventor cutting and disassembling the vibration isolator and investigating in detail, the annular holding portion of the movable rubber film is a support member. As a result, it has been found that a stick-slip sound generated due to tilting and rubbing is likely to be generated. That is, when an excessive pressure fluctuation is induced in the pressure receiving chamber due to an input of a shocking large vibration load, a large deformation occurs in the movable rubber film, which is a diameter with respect to the annular clamping portion at the outer peripheral edge. It is abnormal noise that the annular clamping part tilts by acting as a tensile force inwardly in the direction, and as a result, slip occurs between the annular clamping part and the support member that holds the annular clamping part. They found that it might be the cause of stick-slip noise.
特に可動ゴム膜において、上述の如き弾性突出部が設けられて、可動ゴム膜の中央の変形量が制限されている場合には、かかる異音の発生がより顕著になることも、新たに判った。なお、かかる事実は、可動ゴム膜の中央部分に弾性突出部が設けられて中央部分の変位量が制限される構造を採用した場合に、可動ゴム膜における薄肉部の有効自由長が小さく（中央の弾性突出部がない状態では、径方向の有効自由長が環状支持部の内径寸法に略等しくされるが中央の弾性突出部で可動ゴム膜の中央が実質的に拘束されてしまうことでその有効自由長が略半分に）なってしまう。そのために、「延び変形量／薄肉部の有効自由長」または「剪断変形量／薄肉部の有効自由長」で求められる引張歪または剪断歪が大きくなり、その結果、環状支持部に対して斜め方向に及ぼされて該環状支持部を傾動させる力が一層大きくなる傾向にあることに起因するのであろうことが、新たに判った。
In particular, in the movable rubber film, when the elastic protrusion as described above is provided and the deformation amount at the center of the movable rubber film is limited, it is also newly found that the generation of such abnormal noise becomes more remarkable. It was. It should be noted that this fact is that the effective free length of the thin portion of the movable rubber film is small (the center is small when the elastic protrusion is provided in the central portion of the movable rubber film and the displacement amount of the central part is limited). In the state where there is no elastic protrusion, the effective free length in the radial direction is made substantially equal to the inner diameter dimension of the annular support part, but the center of the movable rubber film is substantially constrained by the central elastic protrusion. The effective free length is approximately halved). For this reason, the tensile strain or shear strain required by “elongation deformation amount / effective free length of thin portion” or “shear deformation amount / effective free length of thin portion” becomes large, and as a result, it is oblique to the annular support portion. It has been newly found that this may be due to the tendency of the force exerted in the direction to tilt the annular support to be greater.
なお、可動ゴム膜の環状挟持部における支持部材に対する傾動スリップを防止する方策として、（ｉ）環状挟持部のボリュームを大きくして剛性を向上させること、（ｉｉ）特開平９−３１０７３２号公報（特許文献１）に開示されているように環状挟持部の内周面を支持部材で挟んで環状挟持部の傾動を阻止すること、（ｉｉｉ）特開２００６−２５８１８４号公報（特許文献２）に開示されているように可動ゴム膜の外周面に環状嵌着金具を加硫接着し、該環状嵌着金具を支持部材に圧入固定すること、等が考えられる。
As a measure for preventing the tilting slip with respect to the support member in the annular sandwiching portion of the movable rubber film, (i) increasing the volume of the annular sandwiching portion to improve the rigidity, (ii) JP-A-9-310732 ( As disclosed in JP-A-2006-258184 (Patent Document 2), the inner peripheral surface of the annular clamping part is sandwiched between supporting members as described in JP-A-2006-258184. As disclosed, an annular fitting may be vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the movable rubber film, and the annular fitting may be press-fitted and fixed to a support member.
しかしながら、上記（ｉ），（ｉｉ）は、何れも、可動ゴム膜の有効面積が小さくなって目的とする液圧吸収機能延いては防振性能が低下する問題がある。また、上記（ｉｉｉ）は、別体の環状嵌着金具が必要となって部品点数が増加するだけでなく、加硫接着工程や加硫後の環状嵌着金具の絞り加工工程等の特別な製造工程が必要となる問題がある。加えて、これら（ｉ），（ｉｉ），（ｉｉｉ）の何れにおいても、可動ゴム膜の環状挟持部の固定強度が大きくなることに伴い、可動ゴム膜の薄肉部分と環状挟持部との境界部分に対する応力集中が大きくなって亀裂等が発生し易くなり、可動ゴム膜の耐久が低下してしまうおそれがある。
However, both of the above (i) and (ii) have a problem that the effective area of the movable rubber film is reduced and the intended hydraulic pressure absorption function and the vibration isolation performance are lowered. In addition, (iii) not only increases the number of parts because a separate annular fitting is required, but also includes a special process such as a vulcanization bonding process and a drawing process of the annular fitting after vulcanization. There is a problem that a manufacturing process is required. In addition, in any of these (i), (ii), and (iii), the boundary between the thin-walled portion of the movable rubber film and the annular clamping portion increases as the fixing strength of the annular clamping portion of the movable rubber membrane increases. There is a possibility that stress concentration on the portion becomes large and cracks or the like are likely to occur, and the durability of the movable rubber film is lowered.
ここにおいて、本発明は、上述の如き事情を背景として為されたものであって、その解決課題とするところは、可動ゴム膜の外周縁部が挟圧保持されると共に、可動ゴム膜の中央部分の弾性変形量が制限された特定構造の液圧吸収機構を備えた流体封入式防振装置において、可動ゴム膜の有効面積を充分に確保しつつ、部品点数や製造工程の増加を伴うこともなく、且つ優れた耐久性も確保しつつ、過大な振動荷重入力時における異音の発生を防止することの出来る、新規な構造の液圧吸収機構を備えた流体封入式防振装置を提供することにある。

While the movable rubber film is disposed in a state in which elastic deformation is allowed, a relief hole extending through both sides of the movable rubber film is formed on the elastic protrusion, and the relief hole is formed. In the pressure receiving chamber with respect to the opening end surface toward the pressure receiving chamber.

このような本発明に従う構造の流体封入式防振装置においては、厚肉挟持部に対して縮径方向の予圧縮を加えた状態で可動ゴム膜を組み付けることにより、可動ゴム膜において厚肉挟持部の内周側に位置する薄肉部にも、径方向で応力的な圧縮が及ぼされており、僅かな弛みが生ぜしめられている。
In such a fluid-filled vibration isolator having a structure according to the present invention, a thick rubber film is sandwiched in a movable rubber film by assembling the movable rubber film in a state where pre-compression in the reduced diameter direction is applied to the thick sandwiched portion. The thin-walled portion located on the inner peripheral side of the portion is also subjected to stress-like compression in the radial direction, causing slight slack.
これにより、過度な荷重入力に際して、可動ゴム膜の薄肉部に大きな変形が惹起された場合でも、薄肉部自体に発生する応力の幾らかが初期圧縮で相殺される結果、薄肉部に発生する引張応力が低減される。その結果、薄肉部から厚肉挟持部に対して伝達される力（傾動力）を抑えることが出来る。
As a result, even when a large deformation is induced in the thin portion of the movable rubber film when an excessive load is input, some of the stress generated in the thin portion itself is canceled out by the initial compression, so that the tensile force generated in the thin portion is generated. Stress is reduced. As a result, the force (tilting power) transmitted from the thin part to the thick sandwiching part can be suppressed.
また、厚肉挟持部においても、薄肉部から伝達される斜めこじり方向への力が、初期圧縮力による相殺的効果で軽減されることに加えて、厚肉挟持部自体の剛性が、その径方向の予圧縮によって向上されており、更に、厚肉挟持部の予圧縮の反力（弾性力）によって厚肉挟持部が支持部材に押圧当接されており、厚肉挟持部に作用せしめられる支持部材による固定力が増大されている。
In addition, in the thick sandwiched portion, the force in the oblique twisting direction transmitted from the thin portion is reduced by an offset effect due to the initial compression force, and the rigidity of the thick sandwiched portion itself is reduced in diameter. In addition, the thick-clamping part is pressed against the support member by the pre-compression reaction force (elastic force) of the thick-clamping part, and is applied to the thick-clamping part. The fixing force by the support member is increased.
その結果、厚肉挟持部が、支持部材に対して固定的に支持されるのであり、厚肉挟持部の傾動に起因すると考えられるスティックスリップ等の異音の発生が防止される。特に、上述の如き異音を防止し得る構造を弾性ゴム膜における薄肉部の有効自由長を大きく確保しつつ実現することが出来て、目的とする液圧吸収機能延いては防振性能を得ることが出来る。
As a result, the thick sandwiching portion is fixedly supported with respect to the support member, and the occurrence of abnormal noise such as stick-slip that is considered to be caused by the tilting of the thick sandwiching portion is prevented. In particular, a structure capable of preventing abnormal noise as described above can be realized while ensuring a large effective free length of the thin-walled portion in the elastic rubber film, and the desired hydraulic pressure absorption function and vibration-proof performance can be obtained. I can do it.
しかも、厚肉挟持部と薄肉部との境界部分には、厚肉挟持部に及ぼされた縮径方向の圧縮力が薄肉部に対しても縮径方向の圧縮力として及ぼされていることから、かかる境界部分に対して、薄肉部の弾性変形に伴う引張力が作用した場合でも、その引張力が予圧縮で相対的に軽減される。その結果、境界部分に発生する応力が軽減されることから、上述の如く、厚肉挟持部の実質的な支持強度乃至は剛性が向上されても、かかる境界部分における亀裂の発生が抑えられ、耐久性の向上が図られ得る。
Moreover, since the compressive force in the reduced diameter direction exerted on the thick sandwiched portion is exerted as the compressive force in the reduced diameter direction also on the thin portion at the boundary portion between the thick sandwiched portion and the thin portion. Even when a tensile force accompanying the elastic deformation of the thin-walled portion acts on the boundary portion, the tensile force is relatively reduced by pre-compression. As a result, since the stress generated in the boundary portion is reduced, as described above, even if the substantial support strength or rigidity of the thick sandwich portion is improved, the occurrence of cracks in the boundary portion is suppressed, Durability can be improved.
加えて、厚肉挟持部には、嵌着金具等を加硫接着する必要がなく、可動ゴム膜がゴム単体構造とされることから、製造や組付けが容易となる。
In addition, it is not necessary to vulcanize and bond a fitting or the like to the thick sandwiched portion, and the movable rubber film has a single rubber structure, so that manufacture and assembly are easy.
また、本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置においては、可動ゴム膜に形成されたリリーフ用孔が、受圧室内の負圧レベルに応じて作動する弁部材によって、連通状態と遮断状態に切り換えられるようになっている。そして、キャビテーション気泡の発生が懸念される程度の過大な負圧が受圧室内に及ぼされた場合には、オリフィス通路に比して流動抵抗の小さいリリーフ用孔が連通状態とされて、リリーフ用孔を通じて受圧室と平衡室の間で流体流動が生ぜしめられるようになっている。これにより、受圧室内の負圧が速やかに解消されて、キャビテーションに起因すると考えられる異音や振動の発生を速やかに解消することが出来る。
Further, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention, the relief hole formed in the movable rubber film is switched between the communication state and the cutoff state by the valve member that operates according to the negative pressure level in the pressure receiving chamber. It is like that. Then, when an excessive negative pressure is generated in the pressure receiving chamber to the extent that the occurrence of cavitation bubbles is concerned, the relief hole having a smaller flow resistance than the orifice passage is brought into communication, and the relief hole Through this, a fluid flow is generated between the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber. As a result, the negative pressure in the pressure receiving chamber is quickly eliminated, and the generation of abnormal noise and vibration that may be caused by cavitation can be quickly eliminated.

In the present invention , the first mounting member and the second mounting member are connected by the main rubber elastic body, and a part of the wall portion is configured by the main rubber elastic body to enclose the incompressible fluid. A pressure receiving chamber and an equilibrium chamber in which a part of the wall is formed of a flexible membrane and in which an incompressible fluid is enclosed are formed, and the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber are communicated with each other by an orifice passage. A movable rubber film is disposed between the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber so that the pressure of the pressure receiving chamber is applied to one surface of the movable rubber film, and the other surface of the movable rubber film is A hydraulic pressure absorption mechanism that absorbs minute pressure fluctuations in the pressure receiving chamber by applying pressure is formed, and elastic protrusions that protrude on both side surfaces are integrally formed at the central portion of the movable rubber film And opposed to the elastic protrusion in the protruding direction. In a fluid-filled vibration isolator provided with a contact member that limits the elastic deformation amount of the movable rubber film by the contact of the elastic protrusion, the outer peripheral edge of the movable rubber film protrudes on both sides over the entire circumference. An annular thick sandwiching portion is integrally formed, and both the axially opposite side surfaces and the outer peripheral surface of the thick sandwiching portion are supported by a support member fixed to the second mounting member. The thick sandwiched portion is elastically deformed over the entire circumference by being pressed against it and pre-compressed in the reduced diameter direction to support the thin sandwich portion on the inner peripheral side of the thick sandwiched portion. While the movable rubber film is disposed in a state where deformation is allowed, a relief hole extending through both sides of the movable rubber film is formed on the elastic protrusion, and the relief hole While the inside is always in communication with the pressure receiving chamber, the relief Fluid filled type vibration damping device allowed covering by overlapping the abutment member against the open end surface to the equilibrium chamber side in the well, characterized.

このようなリリーフ用孔を備えた構造を採用することにより、衝撃的な大荷重の入力によって、本体ゴム弾性体が大きく弾性変形せしめられ、それに伴って受圧室内にキャビテーション気泡の発生が問題となる程度の過大な負圧が作用せしめられた場合には、リリーフ用孔を設けられた弾性突出部の平衡室側端面が当接部材から離隔せしめられて、リリーフ用孔が連通状態とされる。これにより、受圧室と平衡室の間でリリーフ用孔を通じて流体が流動せしめられて、受圧室の負圧が速やかに解消される。これにより、キャビテーションに起因すると考えられる異音や振動を低減乃至は回避することが出来る。
By adopting such a structure having a relief hole, the main rubber elastic body is greatly elastically deformed by the input of a shocking large load, and accordingly, the generation of cavitation bubbles in the pressure receiving chamber becomes a problem. When an excessive negative pressure is applied, the balance chamber side end surface of the elastic protrusion provided with the relief hole is separated from the contact member, and the relief hole is brought into a communication state. Thereby, the fluid flows through the relief hole between the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber, and the negative pressure in the pressure receiving chamber is quickly eliminated. As a result, it is possible to reduce or avoid abnormal noise and vibration that may be caused by cavitation.
また、本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置においては、前記厚肉挟持部の縮径方向の予圧縮が、該厚肉挟持部の外径寸法において１〜５％の範囲に設定されていることが望ましい。
このように厚肉挟持部に対して縮径方向で適当な予圧縮を及ぼすことにより、スティックスリップ等の異音の防止効果と、可動ゴム膜の耐久性向上効果を、何れも効果的に得ることが出来る。蓋し、厚肉挟持部の縮径量が小さ過ぎる場合には、厚肉挟持部の傾動を充分に防ぐことが出来ないおそれがあって、スティックスリップ音が問題となる場合がある一方、厚肉挟持部の縮径量が大き過ぎる場合には、予圧縮による変形によって厚肉挟持部の歪が大きくなって亀裂が生じる等の問題を生じる場合があるからである。
また、本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置においては、前記第二の取付部材に対して固定的に支持されて前記受圧室と前記平衡室を仕切る仕切部材が設けられており、該仕切部材の中央部分に前記可動ゴム膜が配設されていると共に、該仕切部材によって前記当接部材および前記支持部材が構成されている一方、該仕切部材の外周部分に前記オリフィス通路が形成されていても良い。 Further, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention, the pre-compression in the reduced diameter direction of the thick sandwiched portion is set in the range of 1 to 5% in the outer diameter dimension of the thick sandwiched portion. It is desirable.
In this way, by applying appropriate pre-compression in the direction of diameter reduction to the thick sandwiched portion, both the effect of preventing abnormal noise such as stick-slip and the effect of improving the durability of the movable rubber film are obtained effectively. I can do it. If the diameter of the thick sandwiched portion is too small, the tilting of the thick sandwiched portion may not be sufficiently prevented, and stick-slip noise may be a problem. This is because if the amount of diameter reduction of the meat sandwiching portion is too large, there may be a problem that the deformation due to pre-compression increases the strain of the thick sandwiched portion and causes a crack.
Further, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention, a partition member that is fixedly supported by the second mounting member and partitions the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber is provided, and the partition member The movable rubber film is disposed at the center of the partition member, the contact member and the support member are formed by the partition member, and the orifice passage is formed at an outer peripheral portion of the partition member. Also good.

このように受圧室と平衡室を仕切る仕切部材を利用して当接部材と支持部材を構成することにより、当接部材や支持部材を設けるために特別に部品点数を増やす必要がない。従って、少ない部品点数と簡単な構造で本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置を実現することが出来る。
In this way, by forming the contact member and the support member using the partition member that partitions the pressure receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber, there is no need to increase the number of parts in particular in order to provide the contact member and the support member. Therefore, the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention can be realized with a small number of parts and a simple structure.
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、本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置の第一の実施形態として、自動車用エンジンマウント１０が示されている。このエンジンマウント１０は、第一の取付部材としての第一の取付金具１２と第二の取付部材としての第二の取付金具１４を本体ゴム弾性体１６で相互に連結した構造を有している。そして、第一の取付金具１２が振動伝達系を構成する一方の部材である図示しないパワーユニットに取り付けられると共に、第二の取付金具１４が振動伝達系を構成する他方の部材である図示しない車両ボデーに取り付けられることにより、パワーユニットがボデーに対して防振支持されるようになっている。
First, FIG. 1 shows an automotive engine mount 10 as a first embodiment of a fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention. The engine mount 10 has a structure in which a first mounting bracket 12 as a first mounting member and a second mounting bracket 14 as a second mounting member are connected to each other by a main rubber elastic body 16. . The first mounting bracket 12 is attached to a power unit (not shown) that is one member constituting the vibration transmission system, and the second mounting bracket 14 is a vehicle body (not shown) that is the other member constituting the vibration transmission system. By attaching the power unit to the body, the power unit is supported in a vibration-proof manner with respect to the body.
なお、図１では、自動車に装着する前のエンジンマウント１０の単体での状態が示されているが、本実施形態では、装着状態において、パワーユニットの分担支持荷重がマウント軸方向（図１中、上下）に入力される。従って、マウント装着状態下では、本体ゴム弾性体１６の弾性変形に基づき第一の取付金具１２と第二の取付金具１４が軸方向で互いに接近する方向に変位する。また、かかる装着状態下、防振すべき主たる振動は、略マウント軸方向に入力されることとなる。以下の説明中、特に断りのない限り、上下方向は、マウント軸方向となる図１中の上下方向をいう。
1 shows the state of the engine mount 10 as a single unit before being mounted on the automobile, but in the present embodiment, in the mounted state, the shared support load of the power unit is in the mount axis direction (in FIG. 1, (Up and down). Therefore, in the mounted state, the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 14 are displaced in the axial direction toward each other based on the elastic deformation of the main rubber elastic body 16. In addition, under such a mounted state, main vibrations to be vibrated are input substantially in the mount axis direction. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the vertical direction refers to the vertical direction in FIG.
より詳細には、第一の取付金具１２が、小径の略円柱形状乃至は円錐台形状を呈していると共に、その中央部分には上端面に開口する螺子穴１８が設けられている。第一の取付金具１２は、螺子穴１８を介して図示しないパワーユニット側の取付部材に螺着固定されるようになっている。
More specifically, the first mounting member 12 has a small-diameter substantially cylindrical shape or a truncated cone shape, and a screw hole 18 that opens to the upper end surface is provided at the center portion thereof. The first mounting bracket 12 is screwed and fixed to a power unit side mounting member (not shown) through a screw hole 18.
一方、第二の取付金具１４が、大径の略円筒形状を有しており、その軸方向中間部分において軸直角方向内方に略円環板形状に広がる段差部２０が形成されていると共に、段差部２０の内周縁部から上方に向かう部位には、上方から下方に向かって径寸法が次第に小さくなるテーパ状部２２が形成されている。第二の取付金具１４は、図示しないブラケットを介して車両ボデー側の取付部材に固定されるようになっている。
On the other hand, the second mounting bracket 14 has a large-diameter, generally cylindrical shape, and a stepped portion 20 that extends in a substantially annular plate shape is formed inward in the direction perpendicular to the axis at an axially intermediate portion thereof. In addition, a tapered portion 22 whose diameter dimension gradually decreases from the upper side to the lower side is formed at a portion from the inner peripheral edge of the stepped portion 20 to the upper side. The second mounting bracket 14 is fixed to a mounting member on the vehicle body side via a bracket (not shown).
このような第二の取付金具１４のテーパ状部２２を備えた開口部側に第一の取付金具１２が離隔配置されて、両金具１２，１４の中心軸が略同一線上に位置せしめられている。第一の取付金具１２と第二の取付金具１４の間には、本体ゴム弾性体１６が配されている。

In the present embodiment, the resonance frequency of the fluid flowing through the orifice passage 96 is effective against vibrations in a low frequency region around 10 Hz corresponding to an engine shake based on the resonance action of the fluid. It is tuned so that the damping effect is demonstrated. Tuning of the orifice passage 96 is performed by, for example, the rigidity of the wall springs of the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94, that is, the main rubber elastic body 16 corresponding to the amount of pressure change required to change the chambers 92 and 94 by a unit volume. It is possible to adjust the passage length and passage cross-sectional area of the orifice passage 96 while taking into account the characteristic values based on the respective elastic deformation amounts such as the diaphragm 28 and the diaphragm 28. In general, the pressure transmitted through the orifice passage 96 The frequency at which the phase of the fluctuation changes to bring about the resonance state can be grasped as the tuning frequency of the orifice passage 96.
また、蓋板金具３８が仕切部材本体３６の上端部に密着状に重ね合わせられて、仕切部材本体３６の収容凹所４２が蓋板金具３８で覆蓋されることによって、仕切部材３４の中央部分において蓋板金具３８や仕切部材本体３６の収容凹所４２で画設された空間には、収容領域９８が形成されている。なお、収容領域９８の形成は、仕切部材３４が第二の取付金具１４に固定される前に、蓋板金具３８が仕切部材本体３６の上端部に密着状に重ね合わせられて固定されることによって形成されても良く、或いは仕切部材３４が第二の取付金具１４に取り付けられる際に、第二の取付金具１４の段差部２０とダイヤフラム２８の固定リング３０の軸方向間に及ぼされる挟圧作用を利用して、蓋板金具３８が仕切部材本体３６の上端部に密着状に重ね合わせられることで形成されても良い。
Further, the lid plate metal 38 is overlapped in close contact with the upper end of the partition member main body 36, and the housing recess 42 of the partition member main body 36 is covered with the lid plate metal 38, whereby the central portion of the partition member 34 is formed. In the space defined by the housing recess 42 of the lid plate metal 38 and the partition member main body 36, a housing area 98 is formed. In addition, the storage area 98 is formed by the cover plate metal fitting 38 being closely attached to the upper end portion of the partition member main body 36 and fixed before the partition member 34 is fixed to the second mounting metal fitting 14. Or the clamping force exerted between the stepped portion 20 of the second mounting bracket 14 and the axial direction of the fixing ring 30 of the diaphragm 28 when the partition member 34 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 14. The lid plate metal member 38 may be formed by closely overlapping the upper end portion of the partition member main body 36 using the action.
この収容領域９８には、弾性ゴム膜８２が収容配置されている。弾性ゴム膜８２は、収容領域９８において軸直角方向に広がっており、仕切部材本体３６に対して略同心状に配設されている。
An elastic rubber film 82 is accommodated in the accommodation area 98. The elastic rubber film 82 extends in the direction perpendicular to the axis in the accommodation region 98 and is disposed substantially concentrically with respect to the partition member main body 36.
また、弾性ゴム膜８２における中央突部８４の軸方向寸法：Ｔが、収容凹所４２の底部４６とそれに対向する蓋板金具３８との対向面間距離、換言すれば収容領域９８の軸方向での内法寸法：ｔよりも大きくなっている。これにより、弾性ゴム膜８２の収容領域９８に対する組付け状態下では、中央突部８４が、底部４６と蓋板金具３８に対してそれぞれ押圧当接せしめられており、それら底部４６と蓋板金具３８の軸方向対向面間で軸方向に圧縮変形せしめられている。このように、中央突部８４の軸方向両端面が仕切部材３４を構成する仕切部材本体３６の底部４６と蓋板金具３８に当接せしめられていることにより、弾性ゴム膜８２の軸方向での弾性変形量が制限されており、本実施形態における当接部材が仕切部材３４によって構成されている。
Further, the axial dimension T of the central protrusion 84 in the elastic rubber film 82 is the distance between the opposed surfaces of the bottom 46 of the accommodation recess 42 and the lid plate metal 38 facing it, in other words, the axial direction of the accommodation region 98. Internal dimension at: greater than t. As a result, under the assembled state of the elastic rubber film 82 with respect to the accommodation region 98, the central protrusion 84 is pressed against and abutted against the bottom 46 and the lid plate metal 38, respectively. It is compressed and deformed in the axial direction between 38 axially opposed surfaces. As described above, both end surfaces in the axial direction of the central protrusion 84 are brought into contact with the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 36 and the cover plate metal member 38 constituting the partition member 34, so that the elastic rubber film 82 is axially aligned. The amount of elastic deformation is limited, and the contact member in the present embodiment is constituted by the partition member 34.
さらに、弾性ゴム膜８２における環状突部８８の軸方向寸法が中央突部８４の軸方向寸法と略同じであるＴとされており、収容凹所４２の底部４６とそれに対向する蓋板金具３８との対向面間距離：ｔよりも大きくなっている。これにより、弾性ゴム膜８２の収容領域９８に対する組付け状態下では、環状突部８８が、底部４６と蓋板金具３８に対してそれぞれ押圧当接せしめられており、それら底部４６と蓋板金具３８の軸方向対向面間で軸方向に圧縮変形せしめられて挟持されている。換言すれば、環状突部８８の軸方向両端面が仕切部材３４を構成する仕切部材本体３６の底部４６と蓋板金具３８に当接せしめられている。
Furthermore, the axial dimension of the annular protrusion 88 in the elastic rubber film 82 is T, which is substantially the same as the axial dimension of the central protrusion 84, and the bottom 46 of the housing recess 42 and the lid plate fitting 38 facing it. The distance between the opposed surfaces is larger than t. Thus, under the assembled state of the elastic rubber film 82 with respect to the housing region 98, the annular protrusions 88 are pressed and brought into contact with the bottom 46 and the lid plate metal 38, respectively. Between 38 axially opposed surfaces, it is compressed and deformed in the axial direction and is sandwiched. In other words, both end surfaces in the axial direction of the annular protrusion 88 are brought into contact with the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 36 constituting the partition member 34 and the lid plate metal 38.
なお、中央突部８４と環状突部８８の軸方向寸法は、必ずしも同じではなくても良く、例えば環状突部８８を中央突部８４よりも軸方向外側まで突出せしめて圧縮量を大きく得ることにより、環状突部８８の固定的な保持をより効果的に実現することも出来る。
The axial dimensions of the central protrusion 84 and the annular protrusion 88 are not necessarily the same. For example, the annular protrusion 88 is protruded axially outward from the central protrusion 84 to obtain a large amount of compression. Thus, the fixed holding of the annular protrusion 88 can be realized more effectively.
このように、中央突部８４と環状突部８８の軸方向両端面が仕切部材本体３６の底部４６と蓋板金具３８に対して軸方向で押圧当接せしめられることにより、弾性ゴム膜８２の径方向中央部分と外周縁部が、仕切部材本体３６と蓋板金具３８によって支持されている。
In this way, the axially opposite end faces of the central protrusion 84 and the annular protrusion 88 are pressed against each other in the axial direction against the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 36 and the lid plate metal 38, so that the elastic rubber film 82 The central portion in the radial direction and the outer peripheral edge are supported by the partition member main body 36 and the lid plate metal 38.
また、本実施形態では、仕切部材３４における収容領域９８の受圧室９２側の壁部が、蓋板金具３８を含んで構成されており、蓋板金具３８の透孔６２を通じて弾性ゴム膜８２の径方向中間部分の一方（図１中、上）の面に受圧室９２の圧力が及ぼされるようになっていると共に、仕切部材３４の収容領域９８の平衡室９４側の壁部が、仕切部材本体３６の底部４６を含んで構成されており、該底部４６の透孔４８を通じて弾性ゴム膜８２の径方向中間部分の他方（図１中、下）の面に平衡室９４の圧力が及ぼされるようになっている。
Further, in the present embodiment, the wall portion on the pressure receiving chamber 92 side of the accommodating region 98 in the partition member 34 is configured to include the cover plate fitting 38, and the elastic rubber film 82 is formed through the through hole 62 of the cover plate fitting 38. The pressure of the pressure receiving chamber 92 is applied to one surface (upper in FIG. 1) of the radial intermediate portion, and the wall portion of the accommodation region 98 of the partition member 34 on the side of the equilibrium chamber 94 is a partition member. The bottom portion 46 of the main body 36 is included, and the pressure of the equilibrium chamber 94 is exerted on the other surface (lower side in FIG. 1) of the radial intermediate portion of the elastic rubber film 82 through the through hole 48 of the bottom portion 46. It is like that.
これにより、弾性ゴム膜８２の中央部分と外周部分が拘束された状態下、受圧室９２と平衡室９４の相対的な圧力差が弾性ゴム膜８２に及ぼされて、弾性ゴム膜８２の径方向中間部分が弾性変形すると、受圧室９２の圧力変動が吸収されるようになっている。即ち、本実施形態に係る液圧吸収機構が、弾性ゴム膜８２や仕切部材本体３６の透孔４８、蓋板金具３８の透孔６２を含んで構成されている。特に本実施形態では、アイドリング振動や低速こもり音等に相当する２０〜４０Ｈｚ程度の中周波数域の振動入力に際して、弾性ゴム膜８２の弾性変形による受圧室９２の圧力変動吸収効果に基づく防振効果（低動ばね特性に基づく振動絶縁効果）が有効に発揮されるように、弾性ゴム膜８２の固有振動数がチューニングされている。
Thus, the relative pressure difference between the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94 is exerted on the elastic rubber film 82 in a state where the central portion and the outer peripheral portion of the elastic rubber film 82 are constrained, and the radial direction of the elastic rubber film 82 When the intermediate portion is elastically deformed, the pressure fluctuation in the pressure receiving chamber 92 is absorbed. That is, the hydraulic pressure absorbing mechanism according to the present embodiment includes the elastic rubber film 82, the through hole 48 of the partition member main body 36, and the through hole 62 of the lid plate metal 38. In particular, in the present embodiment, a vibration isolation effect based on the pressure fluctuation absorption effect of the pressure receiving chamber 92 due to elastic deformation of the elastic rubber film 82 at the time of vibration input in the middle frequency range of about 20 to 40 Hz corresponding to idling vibration, low-speed booming sound, and the like. The natural frequency of the elastic rubber film 82 is tuned so that the (vibration insulation effect based on the low dynamic spring characteristic) is effectively exhibited.
ここにおいて、弾性ゴム膜８２の外径寸法：Ｌは、仕切部材本体３６に形成された収容凹所４２の径寸法：ｌに比して大きくなっている。これにより、弾性ゴム膜８２が収容凹所４２に嵌め込まれると、弾性ゴム膜８２の外周面、換言すれば環状突部８８の外周面が収容凹所４２の内周面に対して押圧当接されて、径方向での圧縮力が弾性ゴム膜８２に対して予め作用せしめられる。そして、弾性ゴム膜８２の収容領域９８への配設下において、弾性ゴム膜８２の環状突部８８が所定量（径方向でＬ−ｌに相当する量）だけ縮径せしめられていると共に、薄肉部９０に対して縮径方向の予圧縮力が及ぼされている。以上より明らかなように、本実施形態における支持部材が仕切部材３４によって構成されている。
Here, the outer diameter dimension L of the elastic rubber film 82 is larger than the diameter dimension l of the accommodation recess 42 formed in the partition member main body 36. Thus, when the elastic rubber film 82 is fitted into the housing recess 42, the outer peripheral surface of the elastic rubber film 82, in other words, the outer peripheral surface of the annular protrusion 88 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the housing recess 42. Thus, a compressive force in the radial direction is applied to the elastic rubber film 82 in advance. Under the arrangement of the elastic rubber film 82 in the accommodation region 98, the annular protrusion 88 of the elastic rubber film 82 is reduced in diameter by a predetermined amount (an amount corresponding to L-1 in the radial direction). A precompression force in the direction of diameter reduction is exerted on the thin portion 90. As is clear from the above, the support member in the present embodiment is configured by the partition member 34.
なお、本実施形態では、弾性ゴム膜８２に作用せしめられた予圧縮力によって、薄肉部９０には図示されない程度の微小な弾性変形が生ぜしめられており、薄肉部９０に作用する引張応力が緩和されていると共に、軸方向で僅かに弛められている。これにより、薄肉部９０は、軸方向での弾性変形を比較的容易に許容し得るようになっている。弾性ゴム膜８２が径方向で予圧縮されることによって、薄肉部９０が弛みを生じることなく径方向で圧縮されていても良い。
In the present embodiment, the pre-compression force applied to the elastic rubber film 82 causes minute elastic deformation (not shown) to occur in the thin-walled portion 90, and the tensile stress acting on the thin-walled portion 90 is reduced. It is relaxed and slightly relaxed in the axial direction. Thereby, the thin part 90 can accept | permit the elastic deformation in an axial direction comparatively easily. By thinly compressing the elastic rubber film 82 in the radial direction, the thin portion 90 may be compressed in the radial direction without causing slack.
特に本実施形態では、予圧縮後における弾性ゴム膜８２の外径：ｌが、予圧縮前における弾性ゴム膜８２の外径：Ｌの９５％よりも大きく、且つ９９％よりも小さくなっている。これにより、後述するスティックスリップを防いで異音の解消を効果的に図ることが出来ると共に、過大な圧縮変形による歪で弾性ゴム膜８２、特に環状突部８８に亀裂が生じるのを防いで耐久性を充分に確保することが出来る。
In particular, in the present embodiment, the outer diameter l of the elastic rubber film 82 after pre-compression is larger than 95% and smaller than 99% of the outer diameter L of the elastic rubber film 82 before pre-compression. . As a result, the stick-slip described later can be prevented and noise can be effectively eliminated, and the elastic rubber film 82, in particular, the annular protrusion 88 can be prevented from cracking due to distortion caused by excessive compression deformation. It is possible to sufficiently secure the property.
また、マウント中心軸上に位置合わせされた弾性ゴム膜８２の貫通孔８６と仕切部材本体３６および蓋板金具３８の接続孔５８，６０が協働して、受圧室９２と平衡室９４を相互に連通せしめる短絡流路１００が形成されており、前述の如き弁板金具４０の仕切部材本体３６への組付けにより、板ばね弁７４の弾性変形に基づく下方に向かう弾性力が蓋板金具３８に及ぼされて、板ばね弁７４の先端部分が当接ゴム８０を介して蓋板金具３８に重ね合わせられた状態下では、短絡流路１００の受圧室９２側への開口である接続孔６０が当接ゴム８０を介して板ばね弁７４の先端部分で流体密に覆蓋されて、短絡流路１００が閉塞状態とされている。
Further, the through-hole 86 of the elastic rubber film 82 aligned with the mount center axis and the connection holes 58 and 60 of the partition member main body 36 and the lid plate metal 38 cooperate to make the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94 mutually. A short-circuit channel 100 that communicates with the plate member 38 is formed. As a result of the assembly of the valve plate fitting 40 to the partition member body 36 as described above, the downward elastic force based on the elastic deformation of the leaf spring valve 74 causes a lid plate fitting 38. In the state where the front end portion of the leaf spring valve 74 is overlapped with the lid plate metal member 38 via the contact rubber 80, the connection hole 60 which is an opening to the pressure receiving chamber 92 side of the short-circuit channel 100 is applied. Is covered fluid tightly at the tip of the leaf spring valve 74 via the contact rubber 80, and the short-circuit channel 100 is closed.
一方、受圧室９２にキャビテーション気泡が生ぜしめられる程に過大な負圧が発生する状態では、板ばね弁７４に負圧作用が及ぼされて、板ばね弁７４が、蓋板金具３８を押さえつけていた自身の弾性力に抗して、蓋板金具３８に当接していた状態から離隔する方向（即ち、図１では上方）に弾性変形するように、板ばね弁７４の弾性力が設定されている。かかる弾性力のチューニングは、例えば、板ばね弁７４の形状や大きさ、材料、蓋板金具３８に対する傾斜角度等を設定変更することにより実現される。
On the other hand, in a state where an excessive negative pressure is generated so that cavitation bubbles are generated in the pressure receiving chamber 92, a negative pressure action is exerted on the leaf spring valve 74, and the leaf spring valve 74 presses the lid plate metal 38. The elastic force of the leaf spring valve 74 is set so as to be elastically deformed in a direction away from the state of being in contact with the lid plate metal member 38 (ie, upward in FIG. 1) against its own elastic force. Yes. Such tuning of the elastic force is realized, for example, by setting and changing the shape and size of the leaf spring valve 74, the material, the inclination angle with respect to the lid plate fitting 38, and the like.
また、本実施形態において、短絡流路１００の平衡室９４側の開口部である接続孔５８は開口状態に保たれており、短絡流路１００が平衡室９４に対して常時連通せしめられている。
Further, in the present embodiment, the connection hole 58 that is an opening on the side of the equilibrium chamber 94 of the short-circuit channel 100 is kept open, and the short-circuit channel 100 is always in communication with the equilibrium chamber 94. .
上述の如き構造とされた自動車用エンジンマウント１０が自動車に装着されて、走行時に問題となるエンジンシェイク等の低周波数域の振動が入力されると、受圧室９２に比較的に大きな圧力変動が生ぜしめられる。この圧力は大きいため、微振幅にチューニングされた弾性ゴム膜８２では、受圧室９２の圧力を実質的に吸収し得ない。しかも、板ばね弁７４で短絡流路１００の開口部分が閉塞された状態が保持されている。従って、受圧室９２と平衡室９４の間に生ぜしめられる相対的な圧力変動の差によりオリフィス通路９６を通じての流体の流動量が効果的に確保されて、該流体の共振作用等の流動作用に基づいて、エンジンシェイク等の低周波数域の振動に対して有効な防振効果（高減衰効果）が発揮されるのである。
When the automobile engine mount 10 having the above-described structure is mounted on the automobile and vibrations in a low frequency range such as an engine shake which is a problem during driving are input, a relatively large pressure fluctuation occurs in the pressure receiving chamber 92. Be born. Since this pressure is large, the elastic rubber film 82 tuned to a small amplitude cannot substantially absorb the pressure in the pressure receiving chamber 92. Moreover, the state in which the opening portion of the short-circuit channel 100 is closed by the leaf spring valve 74 is maintained. Therefore, the flow amount of the fluid through the orifice passage 96 is effectively ensured by the difference in the relative pressure fluctuation generated between the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94, and the fluid action such as the resonance action of the fluid is achieved. Based on this, an anti-vibration effect (high damping effect) effective against low-frequency vibrations such as engine shake is exhibited.
また、停車時に問題となるアイドリング振動や走行時に問題となる低速こもり音等の中周波数域の振動の入力では、受圧室９２に対して小さな振幅の圧力変動が惹起されることとなる。その際、当該振動の周波数域がオリフィス通路９６のチューニング周波数よりも高いことから、オリフィス通路９６が反共振的な作用によって流体流通抵抗が著しく大きくなって、実質的に閉塞状態となる。そこで、当該中周波数域にチューニングされた弾性ゴム膜８２の弾性変形に基づいて、受圧室９２の圧力変動が吸収されることにより、オリフィス通路９６の実質的な閉塞化に起因する著しい高動ばね化が回避されることとなる。それ故、中周波数域の振動に対する良好な防振効果（低動ばね特性に基づく振動絶縁効果）が発揮されるのである。
In addition, when an idling vibration which is a problem when the vehicle is stopped or a vibration in a medium frequency range such as a low-speed booming sound which is a problem when driving is performed, a pressure fluctuation with a small amplitude is caused in the pressure receiving chamber 92. At that time, since the frequency range of the vibration is higher than the tuning frequency of the orifice passage 96, the fluid passage resistance of the orifice passage 96 is remarkably increased due to the antiresonant action, and is substantially closed. In view of this, the pressure fluctuation of the pressure receiving chamber 92 is absorbed on the basis of the elastic deformation of the elastic rubber film 82 tuned to the middle frequency range, so that a significantly high dynamic spring resulting from the substantial blockage of the orifice passage 96. Will be avoided. Therefore, a good anti-vibration effect (vibration insulation effect based on the low dynamic spring characteristics) against vibration in the middle frequency range is exhibited.
特に本実施形態では、弾性ゴム膜８２が径方向で圧縮されて収容領域９８に収容配置されており、弾性ゴム膜８２が軸方向で弛みを有している。これにより、弾性ゴム膜８２の薄肉部９０が必要以上に拘束されることなく弾性変形を許容されており、中周波数域の振動入力時に液圧吸収作用を効果的に得ることが出来る。
In particular, in the present embodiment, the elastic rubber film 82 is compressed in the radial direction and accommodated in the accommodating region 98, and the elastic rubber film 82 has a slack in the axial direction. Thereby, the thin deformation portion 90 of the elastic rubber film 82 is allowed to be elastically deformed without being restrained more than necessary, and a hydraulic pressure absorbing action can be effectively obtained at the time of vibration input in the middle frequency range.
さらに、自動車が段差乗り越えや凹凸の大きな路面等を走行して、第一の取付金具１２と第二の取付金具１４の間に衝撃的な荷重が入力されて、本体ゴム弾性体１６が急激に乃至は過大に弾性変形すると、受圧室９２に過大な負圧が惹起される。この負圧が板ばね弁７４に及ぼされた際に、蓋板金具３８の仕切部材本体３６への組み付け下、板ばね弁７４の上方に向かう弾性変形により下方の蓋板金具３８を押さえつける弾性力に抗して、板ばね弁７４が押さえつけを解除して蓋板金具３８から離れるように弾性変形する程度に弾性力が設定されているため、当該衝撃荷重の入力時には、板ばね弁７４および当接ゴム８０が蓋板金具３８における第一の接続孔５８の開口周縁部から離れて開作動することにより、短絡流路１００の閉塞状態が解除されて、受圧室９２と平衡室９４が短絡流路１００を通じて相互に連通せしめられることとなる。その結果、受圧室９２の過負圧状態が解消されて、問題となる異音の発生要因のキャビテーション気泡が有利に抑えられるのである。
Further, the automobile travels over a step, runs on a road surface with large irregularities, etc., and an impact load is input between the first mounting bracket 12 and the second mounting bracket 14, and the main rubber elastic body 16 suddenly moves. If excessively elastically deformed, an excessive negative pressure is induced in the pressure receiving chamber 92. When this negative pressure is exerted on the leaf spring valve 74, the elastic force that presses the lower lid plate metal 38 by elastic deformation toward the upper side of the leaf spring valve 74 when the lid plate metal 38 is assembled to the partition member main body 36. The elastic force is set to such an extent that the leaf spring valve 74 is released from being pressed and elastically deformed away from the lid plate metal 38, and therefore, when the impact load is input, the leaf spring valve 74 and When the contact rubber 80 is opened away from the opening peripheral edge of the first connection hole 58 in the lid plate fitting 38, the closed state of the short-circuit channel 100 is released, and the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94 are short-circuited. Communication with each other through the road 100 will be made. As a result, the over-negative pressure state of the pressure receiving chamber 92 is eliminated, and cavitation bubbles that are a cause of abnormal noise that is a problem are advantageously suppressed.
ここにおいて、エンジンマウント１０では、弾性ゴム膜８２が径方向で予圧縮されて収容領域９８に配設されており、弾性ゴム膜８２の径方向中間部分を構成する薄肉部９０が軸方向に僅かな弛みをもっている。これにより、キャビテーション気泡が発生する程度の大きな負圧が受圧室９２に及ぼされて、弾性ゴム膜８２がかかる負圧の作用によって受圧室９２側に引き込まれて大きく弾性変形せしめられた場合にも、薄肉部９０に発生する応力の幾らかが初期圧縮で相殺される。その結果、薄肉部９０に発生する引張応力が低減されて、薄肉部９０から環状突部８８に対して伝達される傾動力を抑えることが出来る。
Here, in the engine mount 10, the elastic rubber film 82 is pre-compressed in the radial direction and disposed in the accommodation region 98, and the thin portion 90 constituting the radial intermediate portion of the elastic rubber film 82 is slightly in the axial direction. Have a slack. As a result, even when a negative pressure large enough to generate cavitation bubbles is exerted on the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the elastic rubber film 82 is drawn into the pressure receiving chamber 92 side by the action of the negative pressure and is greatly elastically deformed. Some of the stress generated in the thin portion 90 is offset by the initial compression. As a result, the tensile stress generated in the thin portion 90 is reduced, and the tilting power transmitted from the thin portion 90 to the annular protrusion 88 can be suppressed.
しかも、環状突部８８自体の剛性が弾性ゴム膜８２に及ぼされる径方向の予圧縮によって向上されていると共に、環状突部８８が径方向で予圧縮されることによって生じる反力（弾性力）が、収容凹所４２の周壁部に対する当接力として作用せしめられることから、環状突部８８の仕切部材３４に対する固定力（径方向での位置決め力）が増大されている。
In addition, the rigidity of the annular protrusion 88 itself is improved by the radial pre-compression exerted on the elastic rubber film 82, and the reaction force (elastic force) generated by the annular protrusion 88 being pre-compressed in the radial direction. However, since it acts as a contact force with respect to the peripheral wall portion of the housing recess 42, the fixing force (positioning force in the radial direction) of the annular protrusion 88 with respect to the partition member 34 is increased.
これらの結果として、弾性ゴム膜８２の環状突部８８が、仕切部材３４に対して初期の取付位置で固定的に支持されるのであって、環状突部８８の仕切部材３４に対する傾動に起因すると考えられるスティックスリップ等の異音の発生が防止される。
As a result, the annular protrusion 88 of the elastic rubber film 82 is fixedly supported at the initial mounting position with respect to the partition member 34, and is caused by the tilt of the annular protrusion 88 with respect to the partition member 34. Occurrence of unusual noise such as stick-slip is prevented.
しかも、弾性ゴム膜８２の環状突部８８に及ぼされた縮径方向の予圧縮が、弾性ゴム膜８２の薄肉部９０にも縮径方向の圧縮力として作用せしめられていることから、薄肉部９０が弾性変形せしめられて環状突部８８と薄肉部９０の境界部分に引張応力が及ぼされた場合にも、かかる引張力が予圧縮力によって相殺されて軽減される。このように、環状突部８８と薄肉部９０の境界部分に発生する応力が軽減されることから、上述の如く環状突部８８の実質的な支持強度乃至は剛性が向上された場合にも、該境界部分における亀裂の発生が抑えられて、弾性ゴム膜８２の耐久性の向上が図られ得る。
In addition, since the pre-compression in the reduced diameter direction exerted on the annular protrusion 88 of the elastic rubber film 82 is also applied to the thin wall portion 90 of the elastic rubber film 82 as a compressive force in the reduced diameter direction, the thin wall portion Even when 90 is elastically deformed and a tensile stress is applied to the boundary portion between the annular protrusion 88 and the thin-walled portion 90, the tensile force is offset by the precompression force and reduced. Thus, since the stress generated at the boundary portion between the annular protrusion 88 and the thin portion 90 is reduced, even when the substantial support strength or rigidity of the annular protrusion 88 is improved as described above, Generation of cracks at the boundary portion is suppressed, and durability of the elastic rubber film 82 can be improved.
さらに、環状突部８８は、例えば環状の嵌着金具等を加硫接着する必要がなく、弾性ゴム膜８２がゴム単体構造とされることから、製造や組付けを容易に実現することが出来る。
Further, the annular protrusion 88 does not need to vulcanize and bond, for example, an annular fitting, and since the elastic rubber film 82 has a single rubber structure, it can be easily manufactured and assembled. .
また、本実施形態に係る自動車用エンジンマウント１０では、板ばね弁７４が、仕切部材本体３６の収容領域９８を構成する蓋板金具３８を利用して形成されていることから、板ばね弁７４をそれら仕切部材本体３６や蓋板金具３８と別途形成することに伴う部品点数の増加が抑えられて、製造効率の向上や低コスト化が有利に図られ得る。
Further, in the automobile engine mount 10 according to the present embodiment, the leaf spring valve 74 is formed by using the lid plate metal member 38 that constitutes the accommodating region 98 of the partition member main body 36, and thus the leaf spring valve 74. Thus, an increase in the number of parts associated with the separate formation of the partition member main body 36 and the lid plate metal 38 can be suppressed, and an improvement in manufacturing efficiency and cost reduction can be advantageously achieved.
また、短絡流路１００を連通と遮断で切り換える弾性弁体が、ゴム弾性体に比して硬質の板ばね弁７４で形成されていることにより、弾性弁体の耐久性が向上されて、弁体の開閉作動が安定する。
In addition, since the elastic valve element that switches the short-circuit channel 100 between communication and interruption is formed by a hard leaf spring valve 74 that is harder than the rubber elastic element, the durability of the elastic valve element is improved. The opening and closing action of the body is stabilized.
さらに、弾性ゴム膜８２の中央部分に形成された中央突部８４が蓋板金具３８と仕切部材本体３６の底部４６の軸方向間で圧縮変形されると共に、弾性ゴム膜８２の外周部分に形成された環状突部８８が蓋板金具３８と仕切部材本体３６の底部４６の軸方向間で圧縮変形されていることによって、中央部分および外周部分の変形が拘束されている。これにより、弾性ゴム膜８２を収容領域９８内に安定して収容せしめつつ、有効面積の大きな径方向中間部分の弾性変形によって受圧室９２の圧力変動が効率的に吸収されるようになっていることから、前述の問題となるアイドリング振動や低速こもり音等の中周波数域の振動に対する防振効果が安定して得られるのである。
Further, the central protrusion 84 formed in the central portion of the elastic rubber film 82 is compressed and deformed between the cover plate metal 38 and the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 36 in the axial direction, and is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the elastic rubber film 82. The deformed annular protrusion 88 is compressed and deformed between the lid plate metal 38 and the axial direction of the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 36, so that deformation of the central portion and the outer peripheral portion is constrained. As a result, the elastic rubber film 82 is stably accommodated in the accommodating region 98, and the pressure fluctuation in the pressure receiving chamber 92 is efficiently absorbed by the elastic deformation of the radial intermediate portion having a large effective area. For this reason, it is possible to stably obtain an anti-vibration effect with respect to vibrations in the middle frequency range such as idling vibration and low-speed booming noise, which are the problems described above.
また、本構造では、弾性ゴム膜８２の環状突部８８が仕切部材本体３６の収容凹所４２の底部４６と蓋板金具３８の間に圧縮変形されていることで、弾性ゴム膜８２の外周縁部がそれらの間に挟圧保持されて、仕切部材本体３６の周壁部に流体密に重ね合わせられていることにより、弾性ゴム膜８２が可動膜構造を呈している。その結果、弾性ゴム膜８２の外周縁部と仕切部材本体３６の周壁部の間の隙間を通じての圧力漏れが一層有利に抑えられて、オリフィス通路９６を通じての流体流動量が十分に確保されることにより、該流体の共振作用等の流動作用に基づく防振効果の更なる向上が図られ得る。
Further, in this structure, the annular protrusion 88 of the elastic rubber film 82 is compressed and deformed between the bottom 46 of the housing recess 42 of the partition member body 36 and the lid plate metal 38, so that the outer side of the elastic rubber film 82 is removed. The elastic rubber film 82 has a movable film structure because the peripheral edge portion is held between them and fluidly overlapped with the peripheral wall portion of the partition member main body 36. As a result, pressure leakage through the gap between the outer peripheral edge portion of the elastic rubber film 82 and the peripheral wall portion of the partition member main body 36 is further advantageously suppressed, and a sufficient amount of fluid flow through the orifice passage 96 is ensured. As a result, it is possible to further improve the vibration isolation effect based on the fluid action such as the resonance action of the fluid.
特に本構造では、短絡流路１００が弾性ゴム膜８２の貫通孔８６を利用して形成されていることから、短絡流路１００の形成が容易になると共に、短絡流路１００の仕切部材本体３６における配設スペースが有利に確保され得る。しかも、短絡流路１００を開閉する弾性弁体が蓋板金具３８の板ばね弁７４で構成されていることによって、仕切部材本体３６の弾性弁体の配設スペースが省略される。これにより、仕切部材本体３６におけるオリフィス通路９６や短絡流路１００の各設計自由度が大きくされる。
In particular, in this structure, since the short-circuit channel 100 is formed using the through-hole 86 of the elastic rubber film 82, the short-circuit channel 100 can be easily formed and the partition member main body 36 of the short-circuit channel 100. The arrangement space in can be advantageously ensured. In addition, since the elastic valve body that opens and closes the short-circuit channel 100 is configured by the leaf spring valve 74 of the lid plate metal member 38, the space for disposing the elastic valve body of the partition member main body 36 is omitted. Thereby, each design freedom degree of the orifice channel | path 96 and the short circuit channel 100 in the partition member main body 36 is enlarged.
それ故、本構造に係る自動車用エンジンマウント１０においては、製造工程の短縮化や低コスト化、コンパクト化が有利に図られつつ、オリフィス通路９６や短絡流路１００等のチューニング自由度が向上されて、目的の防振効果が安定して得られるのである。
Therefore, in the automobile engine mount 10 according to the present structure, the degree of freedom in tuning the orifice passage 96, the short-circuit passage 100, etc. is improved while advantageously reducing the manufacturing process, reducing the cost, and reducing the size. Thus, the desired vibration isolation effect can be obtained stably.
また、本実施形態では、弾性ゴム膜８２が円板形状とされていると共に、その中心軸上に貫通孔８６が設けられていることから、弾性ゴム膜８２における貫通孔８６の周方向の位置決めが不要となり、仕切部材本体３６への組み付けが容易になる。
In the present embodiment, the elastic rubber film 82 has a disc shape, and the through hole 86 is provided on the central axis of the elastic rubber film 82, so that the positioning of the through hole 86 in the circumferential direction in the elastic rubber film 82 is performed. Becomes unnecessary, and the assembly to the partition member main body 36 becomes easy.
次に、図５には、本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置の第二の実施形態として、自動車用エンジンマウント１０２が示されている。なお、以下の説明において、前記実施形態と実質的に同一の部材乃至部位については、図中に同一の符号を付すことにより、説明を省略する。
Next, FIG. 5 shows an automobile engine mount 102 as a second embodiment of the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention. In the following description, members and parts that are substantially the same as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings, and description thereof is omitted.
すなわち、図５に示されたエンジンマウント１０２は、仕切部材１０３を備えている。仕切部材１０３は、仕切部材本体１０４と蓋板金具１０５を更に有している。なお、本実施形態に係る仕切部材１０３は、前記第一の実施形態に示された仕切部材３４が備えている弁板金具４０を有していない構造となっている。
That is, the engine mount 102 shown in FIG. 5 includes a partition member 103. The partition member 103 further includes a partition member main body 104 and a lid plate metal fitting 105. Note that the partition member 103 according to the present embodiment has a structure that does not include the valve plate fitting 40 provided in the partition member 34 shown in the first embodiment.
仕切部材本体１０４は、前記第一の実施形態において説明された収容凹所４２と下側凹所４４を備えている。また、それら凹所４２，４４の底壁部を構成する底部４６には、複数の透孔４８が貫通形成されている。また、仕切部材本体１０４は、外周縁部にオリフィス通路９６を構成する周溝５０を有しており、周溝５０の一方の端部に連通窓５２が形成されていると共に、他方の端部に図示しない連通窓が形成されている。更に、仕切部材本体１０４の上端面には周上の複数箇所に突部５６が設けられている。
The partition member main body 104 includes the accommodation recess 42 and the lower recess 44 described in the first embodiment. A plurality of through holes 48 are formed through the bottom 46 constituting the bottom walls of the recesses 42 and 44. Further, the partition member main body 104 has a circumferential groove 50 constituting an orifice passage 96 at the outer peripheral edge portion, and a communication window 52 is formed at one end portion of the circumferential groove 50 and the other end portion. A communication window (not shown) is formed. Further, the upper end surface of the partition member main body 104 is provided with protrusions 56 at a plurality of locations on the circumference.
蓋板金具１０５には、前記第一の実施形態において説明された複数の透孔６２が貫通形成されていると共に、外周縁部には切欠き状の連通窓６４が形成されている。更に、周上の複数箇所において小径の円形孔である挿通孔６６が形成されている。なお、上述の説明からも明らかなように、本実施形態に係る仕切部材本体１０４においては、前記第一の実施形態に示された仕切部材本体３６が有する第一の接続孔５８が形成されていないと共に、本実施形態に係る蓋板金具１０５においては、前記第一の実施形態に示された蓋板金具３８が有する第二の接続孔６０が形成されていない。
A plurality of through holes 62 described in the first embodiment are formed through the cover plate metal fitting 105, and a notch-shaped communication window 64 is formed at the outer peripheral edge. Furthermore, insertion holes 66 that are small-diameter circular holes are formed at a plurality of locations on the circumference. As is clear from the above description, the partition member body 104 according to the present embodiment is formed with the first connection holes 58 included in the partition member body 36 shown in the first embodiment. In addition, in the cover plate fitting 105 according to the present embodiment, the second connection hole 60 included in the cover plate fitting 38 shown in the first embodiment is not formed.
また、仕切部材本体１０４の収容凹所４２を利用して形成された収容領域９８には、弾性ゴム膜１０６が収容配置されている。弾性ゴム膜１０６は、略円板形状を呈しており、中央部分には僅かに厚肉とされた厚肉部１０８が一体形成されていると共に、厚肉部１０８の中央部分には軸方向両側に突出する中央突部１１０が一体形成されている。中央突部１１０は、略半球形状を有しており、軸方向両側に向かって次第に先細となっている。なお、本実施形態における弾性突出部が厚肉部１０８と中央突部１１０の協働により形成されている。更に、弾性ゴム膜１０６の外周縁部には、環状突部８８が一体形成されている。
Further, the elastic rubber film 106 is accommodated in the accommodation region 98 formed by using the accommodation recess 42 of the partition member main body 104. The elastic rubber film 106 has a substantially disc shape, and a thick portion 108 that is slightly thick is integrally formed in the central portion, and both sides in the axial direction are formed in the central portion of the thick portion 108. A central protrusion 110 that protrudes from the center is integrally formed. The central protrusion 110 has a substantially hemispherical shape and gradually tapers toward both sides in the axial direction. In addition, the elastic protrusion part in this embodiment is formed by cooperation of the thick part 108 and the center protrusion 110. FIG. Further, an annular protrusion 88 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral edge of the elastic rubber film 106.
このような構造とされた弾性ゴム膜１０６は、縮径方向で圧縮変形されると共に、中央突部１１０と環状突部８８が仕切部材本体１０４の底部４６と蓋板金具１０５の径方向中央部分の対向面間で軸方向に圧縮されて、収容領域９８内に配設されている。なお、弾性ゴム膜１０６の径方向での予圧縮量は、前記第一の実施形態と同様に、予圧縮前における弾性ゴム膜１０６の外径寸法である環状突部８８の外径寸法に対して１％乃至５％とされている。
The elastic rubber film 106 having such a structure is compressed and deformed in the diameter reducing direction, and the central protrusion 110 and the annular protrusion 88 are formed in the radial direction central portion of the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 104 and the cover plate metal 105. Are compressed in the axial direction between the opposing surfaces of each other and disposed in the accommodating region 98. The amount of pre-compression in the radial direction of the elastic rubber film 106 is the same as that of the first embodiment with respect to the outer diameter of the annular protrusion 88 that is the outer diameter of the elastic rubber film 106 before pre-compression. 1% to 5%.
このような本実施形態に従う構造とされたエンジンマウント１０２においても、前記第一の実施形態と同様に、弾性ゴム膜１０６の変形に伴って生じるスティックスリップ等の異音を効果的に低減することが出来ると共に、弾性ゴム膜１０６の耐久性向上を実現し得る。また、ゴム弾性体による単体構造の弾性ゴム膜１０６によって目的とする耐久性や固定力を実現することが出来る。
Also in the engine mount 102 having the structure according to this embodiment, noises such as stick-slip caused by the deformation of the elastic rubber film 106 can be effectively reduced as in the first embodiment. In addition, the durability of the elastic rubber film 106 can be improved. Further, the intended durability and fixing force can be realized by the elastic rubber film 106 having a single structure made of a rubber elastic body.
また、中央突部１１０が突出先端側に行くに従って次第に小径となる略半球形状を有していることから、弾性ゴム膜１０６の変形によって中央突部１１０が仕切部材１０３に対して離隔状態から打ち当てられた場合にも、中央突部１１０の仕切部材１０３に対する当接が緩衝的に実現されて、打音の発生を抑えることが出来る。
Further, since the central protrusion 110 has a substantially hemispherical shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the protruding tip side, the central protrusion 110 strikes the partition member 103 from a separated state by deformation of the elastic rubber film 106. Even when the contact is made, the contact of the central protrusion 110 with the partition member 103 is buffered, and the occurrence of a hitting sound can be suppressed.
次に、図６には、本発明に係る流体封入式防振装置の第三の実施形態として、自動車用エンジンマウント１１２が示されている。このエンジンマウント１１２は、仕切部材１１４を有している。
Next, FIG. 6 shows an automobile engine mount 112 as a third embodiment of the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the present invention. The engine mount 112 has a partition member 114.
仕切部材１１４は、仕切部材本体１０４と蓋板金具３８を含んで構成されている。なお、本実施形態に係る仕切部材１１４は、前記第一の実施形態に示された仕切部材３４が有する弁板金具４０を備えていない構造となっている。また、本実施形態において仕切部材本体１０４と蓋板金具３８が採用されていることからも明らかなように、仕切部材本体１０４の底部４６には、前記第一の実施形態において示された第一の接続孔５８が形成されていないと共に、蓋板金具３８の中央部分には、蓋板金具３８を厚さ方向で貫通する円形の接続孔６０が形成されている。
The partition member 114 includes the partition member main body 104 and the lid plate metal 38. In addition, the partition member 114 according to the present embodiment has a structure that does not include the valve plate fitting 40 included in the partition member 34 shown in the first embodiment. Further, as apparent from the fact that the partition member main body 104 and the cover plate metal fitting 38 are employed in the present embodiment, the bottom portion 46 of the partition member main body 104 has the first portion shown in the first embodiment. The connection hole 58 is not formed, and a circular connection hole 60 penetrating the cover plate fitting 38 in the thickness direction is formed in the center portion of the cover plate fitting 38.
また、仕切部材本体１０４の収容凹所４２を利用して形成された収容領域９８には、弾性ゴム膜１１８が収容配置されている。弾性ゴム膜１１８は、略円板形状を呈しており、中央部分には軸方向両側に向かって突出する筒状の中央突部１２０が一体形成されている。また、中央突部１２０の中央孔によって本実施形態におけるリリーフ用孔としての貫通孔１２２が形成されている。この貫通孔１２２は、略一定の円形断面で軸方向に延びており、弾性ゴム膜１１８の径方向中央部分において中央突部１２０の軸方向両端面に開口するように貫通形成されている。
In addition, an elastic rubber film 118 is accommodated in the accommodation region 98 formed by using the accommodation recess 42 of the partition member main body 104. The elastic rubber film 118 has a substantially disc shape, and a cylindrical central protrusion 120 that protrudes toward both sides in the axial direction is integrally formed at the central portion. A through hole 122 as a relief hole in the present embodiment is formed by the central hole of the central protrusion 120. The through-hole 122 extends in the axial direction with a substantially constant circular cross section, and is formed so as to open to both axial end surfaces of the central protrusion 120 at the radial center portion of the elastic rubber film 118.
このような構造とされた弾性ゴム膜１１８は、縮径方向で圧縮変形されると共に、中央突部１２０と環状突部８８が仕切部材本体１０４の底部４６と蓋板金具３８の対向面間で軸方向に圧縮されて、収容領域９８内に配設されている。なお、弾性ゴム膜１１８の径方向での予圧縮量は、前記第一の実施形態と同様に、初期状態（仕切部材１１４への組付け前の状態）における弾性ゴム膜１１８の外径寸法である環状突部８８の外径寸法の１％乃至５％とされている。
The elastic rubber film 118 having such a structure is compressed and deformed in the diameter reducing direction, and the central protrusion 120 and the annular protrusion 88 are disposed between the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 104 and the facing surface of the lid plate metal 38. It is compressed in the axial direction and disposed in the receiving area 98. Note that the pre-compression amount in the radial direction of the elastic rubber film 118 is the outer diameter of the elastic rubber film 118 in the initial state (the state before assembly to the partition member 114), as in the first embodiment. It is 1% to 5% of the outer diameter of a certain annular protrusion 88.
また、弾性ゴム膜１１８の収容領域９８への組付け下において、蓋板金具３８の中央部に形成された接続孔６０が弾性ゴム膜１１８の中央突部１２０に貫通形成された貫通孔１２２に対して軸直角方向で位置合わせされており、それら接続孔６０と貫通孔１２２が軸方向に延びる同一直線上に位置せしめられて直列状に接続されている。これにより、貫通孔１２２の内部が接続孔６０を通じて受圧室９２に連通されている。なお、本実施形態では、弾性ゴム膜１１８における中央突部１２０の上端面が、蓋板金具３８に対して予め当接せしめられているが、例えば中央突部１２０と蓋板金具３８の間に隙間が設けられていても良い。
Further, under the assembly of the elastic rubber film 118 to the accommodation region 98, the connection hole 60 formed in the central portion of the lid plate metal 38 is formed in the through hole 122 formed through the central protrusion 120 of the elastic rubber film 118. The connecting hole 60 and the through hole 122 are positioned on the same straight line extending in the axial direction and connected in series. Thereby, the inside of the through hole 122 is communicated with the pressure receiving chamber 92 through the connection hole 60. In the present embodiment, the upper end surface of the central protrusion 120 in the elastic rubber film 118 is brought into contact with the lid plate metal 38 in advance, but for example, between the central projection 120 and the lid plate metal 38. A gap may be provided.
さらに、弾性ゴム膜１１８の収容領域９８への組付け下において、弾性ゴム膜１１８における中央突部１２０の下端面が仕切部材本体１０４の底部４６に圧接せしめられており、中央突部１２０を貫通する貫通孔１２２の平衡室９４側開口部が底部４６で覆われて閉塞せしめられている。なお、本実施形態では、中央突部１２０の軸方向両端面が仕切部材１１４に当接せしめられており、弾性ゴム膜１１８の収容領域９８への配設下において中央突部１２０が軸方向に圧縮されている。
Further, the lower end surface of the central protrusion 120 of the elastic rubber film 118 is brought into pressure contact with the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 104 under the assembly of the elastic rubber film 118 to the accommodation region 98, and penetrates the central protrusion 120. The opening of the through-hole 122 on the equilibrium chamber 94 side is covered and closed by the bottom 46. In the present embodiment, both end surfaces in the axial direction of the central protrusion 120 are brought into contact with the partition member 114, and the central protrusion 120 is axially disposed under the arrangement of the elastic rubber film 118 in the accommodation region 98. It is compressed.
換言すれば、貫通孔１２２の受圧室９２側の開口部が接続孔６０を通じて常時受圧室９２に連通されている一方、貫通孔１２２の平衡室９４側の開口部は、中央突部１２０の下端面が底部４６に当接せしめられた状態（初期状態を含む）において底部４６で覆われて覆蓋されていると共に、弾性ゴム膜１１８の弾性変形による中央突部１２０の底部４６からの離隔変位によって、透孔４８を通じて平衡室９４に連通されるようになっている。
In other words, the opening on the pressure receiving chamber 92 side of the through hole 122 is always in communication with the pressure receiving chamber 92 through the connection hole 60, while the opening on the equilibrium chamber 94 side of the through hole 122 is below the center protrusion 120. When the end surface is in contact with the bottom 46 (including the initial state), the end 46 is covered and covered with the bottom 46, and the center protrusion 120 is displaced from the bottom 46 by elastic deformation of the elastic rubber film 118. , And communicated with the equilibrium chamber 94 through the through hole 48.
ここにおいて、衝撃的な振動荷重の入力により、本体ゴム弾性体１６が大きく弾性変形して、受圧室９２内にキャビテーション気泡が発生する程の負圧が及ぼされると、弾性ゴム膜１１８は、その薄肉部９０が受圧室９２の負圧の作用によって弾性変形せしめられる。
Here, when the main rubber elastic body 16 is greatly elastically deformed by the input of shocking vibration load and a negative pressure is generated so that cavitation bubbles are generated in the pressure receiving chamber 92, the elastic rubber film 118 is The thin portion 90 is elastically deformed by the negative pressure of the pressure receiving chamber 92.
ここで、本実施形態では、初期状態において貫通孔１２２の軸方向下側の開口部が閉塞せしめられているが、弾性ゴム膜１１８が充分に大きな力で受圧室９２側に引っ張られると、薄肉部９０が弾性変形せしめられると共に、中央突部１２０が軸方向で圧縮変形せしめられるようになっている。これにより、中央突部１２０の平衡室９４側の端面が仕切部材本体１０４の底部４６から軸方向上方に離隔変位せしめられて、貫通孔１２２の下側開口部が収容領域９８内に連通せしめられる。そして、底部４６に形成された透孔４８と、弾性ゴム膜１１８に形成された貫通孔１２２と、蓋板金具３８に形成された接続孔６０を通じて、受圧室９２と平衡室９４が相互に連通されるようになっている。
Here, in the present embodiment, the opening on the lower side in the axial direction of the through hole 122 is closed in the initial state, but if the elastic rubber film 118 is pulled toward the pressure receiving chamber 92 with a sufficiently large force, the thin wall The portion 90 is elastically deformed, and the central protrusion 120 is compressively deformed in the axial direction. As a result, the end surface of the central protrusion 120 on the equilibrium chamber 94 side is displaced away from the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 104 in the axial direction, and the lower opening of the through hole 122 is communicated with the accommodation region 98. . The pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94 communicate with each other through the through hole 48 formed in the bottom 46, the through hole 122 formed in the elastic rubber film 118, and the connection hole 60 formed in the lid plate metal 38. It has come to be.
以上の説明からも明らかなように、透孔４８と貫通孔１２２と接続孔６０の協働によって、受圧室９２内に過大な負圧が発生した場合に受圧室９２と平衡室９４を相互に連通せしめる短絡流路１２４が構成されるようになっている。また、本実施形態においては、中央突部１２０の平衡室９４側端面が、弾性ゴム膜１１８の弾性変形によって、仕切部材本体１０４の底部４６に対して当接状態と離隔状態に切り換えられることを利用して、短絡流路１２４を連通状態と遮断状態に切り換える弁機構が構成されている。
As is clear from the above description, when an excessive negative pressure is generated in the pressure receiving chamber 92 by the cooperation of the through hole 48, the through hole 122, and the connection hole 60, the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94 are mutually connected. A short-circuit channel 124 that allows communication is formed. Further, in the present embodiment, the end surface on the equilibrium chamber 94 side of the central protrusion 120 is switched between the contact state and the separation state with respect to the bottom 46 of the partition member main body 104 by the elastic deformation of the elastic rubber film 118. Utilizing this, a valve mechanism for switching the short-circuit channel 124 between the communication state and the cutoff state is configured.
なお、中央突部１２０における受圧室９２側に突出する部分の形状や大きさを変更することにより、受圧室９２での負圧発生時における中央突部１２０の受圧室９２側に突出する部分の弾性変形特性を調節しても良い。
It should be noted that by changing the shape and size of the portion of the central protrusion 120 that protrudes toward the pressure receiving chamber 92, the portion of the central protrusion 120 that protrudes toward the pressure receiving chamber 92 when negative pressure is generated in the pressure receiving chamber 92. The elastic deformation characteristics may be adjusted.
また、中央突部１２０の受圧室９２側に突出する部分において、先端部分に切欠きを設けることにより、該受圧室９２側に突出する部分のばね特性を調節することも出来る。かくの如き切欠きを設けた場合には、この切欠きを通じて貫通孔１２２が収容領域９８に常時連通される。従って、貫通孔１２２が、切欠きと収容領域９８を通じて透孔６２から受圧室９２へ常時連通されることとなる。それ故、蓋板金具３８に形成された第二の接続孔６０は設けられていなくても良い。
Further, by providing a notch at the tip of the central protrusion 120 that protrudes toward the pressure receiving chamber 92, the spring characteristics of the portion protruding toward the pressure receiving chamber 92 can be adjusted. When such a notch is provided, the through-hole 122 is always communicated with the accommodation region 98 through the notch. Therefore, the through hole 122 is always communicated from the through hole 62 to the pressure receiving chamber 92 through the notch and the accommodation region 98. Therefore, the second connection hole 60 formed in the lid plate fitting 38 may not be provided.
このような本実施形態に従う構造とされたエンジンマウント１１２においても、前記第一，第二の実施形態と同様に、スティックスリップ等の異音を低減すると共に、弾性ゴム膜１１８の耐久性を向上することが出来得る。また、嵌着金具等を設けていないゴム単体構造の弾性ゴム膜１１８を利用して目的とする耐久性や固定力を実現することが出来得る。
Also in the engine mount 112 having the structure according to the present embodiment, noise such as stick-slip is reduced and the durability of the elastic rubber film 118 is improved as in the first and second embodiments. It can be done. Moreover, the intended durability and fixing force can be realized by using the elastic rubber film 118 having a single rubber structure without a fitting fitting or the like.
また、本実施形態に係るエンジンマウント１１２においては、キャビテーションが問題となる程度の衝撃的な振動荷重が入力されて、受圧室９２内に過大な負圧が発生した場合には、短絡流路１２４を通じて両室９２，９４間で流体が流動せしめられて、受圧室９２内の負圧が速やかに低減乃至は解消されるようになっている。従って、かかる負圧に起因する異音や振動の発生が抑えられる。
Further, in the engine mount 112 according to the present embodiment, when a shocking vibration load that causes cavitation becomes a problem and an excessive negative pressure is generated in the pressure receiving chamber 92, the short-circuit channel 124. The fluid is caused to flow between the two chambers 92 and 94, and the negative pressure in the pressure receiving chamber 92 is quickly reduced or eliminated. Therefore, the generation of abnormal noise and vibration due to such negative pressure can be suppressed.
しかも、本実施形態では、短絡流路１２４を連通状態と遮断状態で切り換える弁機構が、受圧室９２と平衡室９４の相対的な圧力差に基づく弾性ゴム膜１１８の弾性変形を利用して構成されている。これにより、本実施形態におけるエンジンマウント１１２は、弁機構を構成するための特別な部材や構造を設ける必要がなく、部品点数の少ない簡単な構造によって少ない工程数で実現され得る。
In addition, in this embodiment, the valve mechanism that switches the short-circuit channel 124 between the communication state and the cutoff state is configured by using elastic deformation of the elastic rubber film 118 based on the relative pressure difference between the pressure receiving chamber 92 and the equilibrium chamber 94. Has been. Thereby, the engine mount 112 in this embodiment does not need to be provided with a special member or structure for constituting the valve mechanism, and can be realized with a small number of steps by a simple structure with a small number of parts.
以上、本発明の幾つかの実施形態について説明してきたが、これらはあくまでも例示であって、本発明は、かかる実施形態における具体的な記載によって、何等、限定的に解釈されるものではない。
Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not construed as being limited to specific descriptions in such embodiments.
