Description

  The present invention relates to an anti-vibration device with a bracket used for an engine mount of an automobile and the like.

  BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, an anti-vibration device is known as a type of an anti-vibration support or an anti-vibration coupling body that is disposed between members that constitute a vibration transmission system and that connects the components of the vibration transmission system with each other. For example, it is applied to an engine mount of an automobile. As disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 5083405 (Patent Document 1) and the like, this vibration damping device is configured such that a second strength member and a first strength member that are vertically separated from each other are elastically connected to each other by an elastomer body. Element.

  Patent Literature 1 discloses an anti-vibration device with a bracket in which a support is mounted on an anti-vibration element. The support has a sliding portion extending in the lateral direction, and ribs provided on the first strength member are inserted and guided in the sliding portion, and the first strength member is inserted in the transverse direction with respect to the support. By being fixed, the support is attached to the vibration isolating element.

  By the way, in the vibration isolator of Patent Literature 1, a snap fitting protrusion provided on a rib of the vibration isolating element is inserted into a notch provided on a sliding portion of the support to elastically engage with the snap fitting. In addition, the anti-vibration element is prevented from coming off the support.

  However, in the retaining structure using the snap fitting disclosed in Patent Document 1, at least one of the rib having the snap fitting protrusion and the sliding portion having the notch is elastically deformed when the vibration isolating element and the support are assembled. It is necessary, and damage at the time of deformation becomes a problem. In particular, if at least one of the ribs and the sliding part is made of synthetic resin in order to reduce weight and improve formability, damage to the vibration isolating element and the support caused by elastic deformation when the support is mounted is a problem. And the anti-vibration element may separate from the support due to deterioration over time. On the other hand, if it is attempted to form a snap fitting protrusion and a notch that can be elastically deformed with respect to a metal rib and a sliding portion, it becomes difficult to manufacture the rib and the sliding portion by molding, and the snap fitting protrusion is formed. Post-processing for forming a notch is required.

  Further, since the vibration isolating element and the support are positioned relative to each other by inserting the rigid ribs into the rigid sliding portion from the lateral direction, the support including the sliding portion is made of synthetic resin. If it is formed of a material whose dimensions can be changed due to aging, a gap may be formed between the vibration isolating element and the support, and there may be a possibility of generating abnormal noise due to rattling.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a problem to be solved is to stably hold a bracket in an appropriate mounting state with respect to a vibration isolator main body by a simple structure that is easy to manufacture. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vibration isolator with a bracket having a novel structure.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention made to solve such problems will be described. The components employed in each of the embodiments described below can be employed in any combination as possible.

  That is, the first embodiment of the present invention includes the vibration isolator main body having a structure in which the first mounting member and the second mounting member vertically separated from each other are elastically connected to each other by the main rubber elastic body. In addition, in the vibration isolator with a bracket in which the vibration isolator main body is laterally inserted into the bracket, an insertion connecting portion is provided on the second mounting member of the vibration isolator main body, and Upper and lower urging rubbers are fixed to one of the upper and lower outer surfaces, and the bracket is provided with a connecting groove portion extending in a direction in which the vibration isolator main body is inserted into the bracket. A lock protrusion is formed on the other inner surface, and a protrusion dimension of the lock protrusion is smaller than an upper and lower thickness of the upper and lower urging rubbers. Insert with Insertion inlet coupling part, along with being biased in the vertical and the other by upper subscript bias rubber, that it is positioned relative to the connecting groove, characterized.

  According to the anti-vibration device with a bracket having the structure according to the first aspect, in the structure in which the anti-vibration device main body is inserted into the bracket in the horizontal direction, the insertion connection portion of the anti-vibration device main body has a lock projection The upper and lower urging rubber is elastically deformed when it is inserted into the connection groove of the bracket after getting over, so that the insertion connection and the connection groove are not required to be deformed. Accordingly, when the insertion connection portion is inserted into the connection groove portion, the insertion connection portion and the connection groove portion are prevented from being damaged, and the durability is improved.

  In addition, since the insertion connecting portion that is inserted into the connecting groove portion over the locking protrusion is urged to the other upper and lower side by the elasticity of the upper and lower urging rubber compressed between the upper and lower portions of the inserting connecting portion and the connecting groove portion. The displacement of the guide groove in the withdrawal direction is restricted by the lock projection. Thereby, separation of the vibration isolator main body and the bracket due to the insertion connecting portion falling out of the connecting groove portion is prevented, and reliability is improved.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the vibration damping device with a bracket according to the first aspect, the lock projection is partially formed in a groove depth direction of the connection groove, while the insertion connection is formed. A notch is opened at a position corresponding to the lock projection on one of the upper and lower surfaces of the portion, and a portion of the insertion connection portion that is separated from the notch on the other upper or lower surface is the connection. A locking surface is formed as a support surface that comes into contact with the inner surface of the groove, and a locking projection is formed at the rear of the notch in the insertion direction so as to project upward and downward from the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the notch. The locking projection inserted into the connecting groove portion over the projection is locked to the lock projection in the pull-out direction.

  According to the second aspect, since the lock projection formed in the connection groove relatively moves in the insertion direction in the notch of the insertion connection, the insertion connection is formed by sliding contact of the insertion connection with the lock projection. It is possible to prevent the insertion into the connection groove from becoming difficult. In addition, since the locking projection located behind the notch in the insertion direction crosses over the locking projection and is inserted into the connection groove, the locking projection and the locking projection are locked in the pull-out direction. The relative displacement of the insertion connecting portion in the pulling-out direction with respect to the connecting groove is limited, and separation of the vibration isolator main body and the bracket is prevented.

  Further, when inserting the insertion connection portion into the connection groove portion, the support surface of the insertion connection portion slides on the inner surface of one of the upper and lower grooves of the connection groove portion at a position where the lock projection is removed in the groove depth direction of the connection groove portion. By being in contact, the insertion connection portion is guided in the insertion direction by the groove inner surface of the connection groove portion, and it becomes easy to insert the insertion connection portion into the connection groove portion.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the vibration damping device with a bracket according to the second aspect, the vertical urging rubber is located forward of the locking projection in the insertion direction.

  According to the third aspect, since the upper and lower urging rubbers do not exist in the portion overlapping the locking projection in the vertical projection, when the locking projection climbs over the locking projection, the insertion connecting portion tilts with respect to the insertion direction ( The twisting displacement) is allowed, and the locking projection easily gets over the locking projection.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the anti-vibration device with a bracket according to any one of the first to third aspects, the projection end surface of the lock projection is inclined with respect to the insertion direction. The protrusion dimension of the lock protrusion is reduced toward the rear in the insertion direction.

  According to the fourth aspect, the vertical dimension of the rear surface of the lock protrusion is reduced, so that the insertion connecting portion can easily pass over the lock protrusion in the insertion direction. In addition, the vertical dimension of the front surface of the lock projection is increased, so that the insertion connection portion that has passed over the lock projection and the lock projection can be effectively prevented from being pulled out, and the insertion connection portion is locked. It is possible to prevent the protrusion from climbing over in the pull-out direction.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the vibration damping device with a bracket according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the upper and lower urging rubbers are fixed to an upper surface of the insertion connecting portion, The lock projection is formed to project from a lower inner surface of the connection groove.

  According to the fifth aspect, it is possible to prevent the vertical urging rubber from being excessively compressed by the downward shared support load input to the vibration isolator main body from a component of the vibration transmission system or the like. In addition, it is easy to prevent the vibration isolator main body and the housing from rattling due to the set of the vertical urging rubber.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the vibration damping device with a bracket according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the other one of the upper and lower surfaces of the insertion connection portion is formed of the connection groove portion of the bracket. It is in direct contact with the inner surface.

  According to the sixth aspect, the insertion connection portion is directly in contact with the inner surface of the connection groove portion without interposing a rubber or the like, whereby the insertion connection portion and the connection groove portion are relatively positioned, and the vibration isolator body and the housing are Is advantageously positioned and held.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the vibration damping device with a bracket according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, a front-rear biasing rubber is fixed to a front surface of the insertion connecting portion in the insertion direction. A front wall portion closing the front end of the connection groove in the insertion direction is provided on the bracket, and the front-rear biasing rubber is compressed between the insertion connection portion and the front wall portion in front and rear in the insertion direction. It is.

  According to the seventh aspect, the insertion connection portion is urged in the pull-out direction (rear in the insertion direction) by the elasticity of the urging rubber compressed in the front and rear directions of the insertion direction. It is pressed against the lock projection in the pull-out direction. Thus, the insertion connection portion is positioned in the connection groove portion before and after in the insertion direction, and the generation of abnormal noise caused by the insertion connection portion and the lock projection coming into contact with each other from a distance is also avoided.

  According to the present invention, since the upper and lower urging rubbers are fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the insertion connection portion of the vibration isolator main body, the insertion connection portion is inserted into the connection groove portion of the housing over the lock protrusion. In this case, since the upper and lower urging rubbers are elastically deformed, the deformation of the insertion connecting portion and the connecting groove is not required, and the durability is improved. In addition, since the insertion connection portion that has been inserted into the connection groove portion over the lock protrusion is urged to the other side by the elasticity of the vertical urging rubber compressed between the insertion connection portion and the upper and lower portions of the connection groove portion. The displacement of the guide groove in the withdrawal direction is restricted by the lock projection.

Further, the front end face of the locking projection 40, in other words, the rear end face of the notch 36, as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first mounting member 20 and the second mounting member 22 are vertically separated from each other on substantially the same central axis, and the first mounting member 20 and the second mounting member 22 are separated from each other. The main body rubber elastic body 24 is formed between the mounting members 22. The main rubber elastic body 24 is a rubber elastic body having a substantially truncated quadrangular pyramid shape, and is vulcanized and bonded to an end portion on the small diameter side with a lower portion embedded in a lower portion. The upper end of the second mounting member 22 is overlapped and vulcanized and bonded to the radial end.

The lower end surface of the first mounting member 20 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper part of the second mounting member 22 are both covered with the main rubber elastic body 24, and the first mounting member 20 and the second mounting member None of the members 22 is exposed on the inner surface of the large-diameter recess 44.

  Further, the lower part of the second mounting member 22 located below the opening of the large-diameter recess 44 is covered with a seal rubber layer 46 integrally formed with the main rubber elastic body 24. The seal rubber layer 46 is also fixed to the lower surface of the seal projection 28 of the second mounting member 22. Note that the seal rubber layer 46 does not reach the engaging portion 30 of the second mounting member 22, and the engaging portion 30 is exposed from the main rubber elastic body 24.

  Further, a positioning rubber 48 is fixed to the insertion connecting portion 34 of the second mounting member 22. The positioning rubber 48 is formed integrally with the main rubber elastic body 24, and integrally includes a vertical urging rubber 50, a front-back urging rubber 52, and a left-right urging rubber 54. The upper and lower urging rubbers 50 are fixed to the upper surface of the insertion connecting portion 34 and are integrally connected to the front and rear urging rubbers 52 and the left and right urging rubbers 54 by a thin rubber layer. Further, the vertical urging rubber 50 is provided forward of the locking projection 40, and in this embodiment, the rear end of the vertical urging rubber 50 is moved forward by a predetermined distance with respect to the front end of the locking projection 40. It is located only a distance away. The front and rear urging rubber 52 and the left and right urging rubber 54 have a structure in which three protruding portions provided in parallel at the top and bottom are integrally connected by a thin rubber layer. The left and right urging rubbers 54 fixed to the right and left outer surfaces of the insertion connecting portion 34 are continuously provided along the outer surface of the insertion connecting portion 34.

  On the other hand, the liquid seal assembly 18 has a structure in which a partition member 56, a flexible film 58, and a pressing member 60 are integrally connected as shown in FIG.

  The partition member 56 has a structure in which the partition member main body 62 and the lid plate member 64 are vertically overlapped and fixed to each other. The partition member main body 62 is a hard, substantially square plate-shaped member formed of synthetic resin or metal, and has a recessed recess 66 opened on the upper surface of the inner peripheral portion and a hollow portion opened on the lower surface of the inner peripheral portion. Due to the formation of the recess 68, the inner peripheral portion is made thinner in the vertical direction than the outer peripheral portion. Further, a plurality of lower through holes 70 penetrating vertically are formed in the bottom wall portion of the accommodation recess 66 in the partition member main body 62. At the center of the accommodation recess 66, a substantially cylindrical central connecting portion 72 protruding upward from the bottom surface is provided.

  Further, a peripheral groove 74 extending in the circumferential direction while being opened on the upper surface is formed in the thick outer peripheral portion of the partition member main body 62. The circumferential groove 74 extends on the outer peripheral side of the accommodation recess 66 by a predetermined length less than one circumference.

  Furthermore, an inner concave groove 76 is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the partition member main body 62. The inner concave groove 76 is open on the left and right outer surfaces of the partition member main body 62 and is formed continuously over the entire front and rear length of the partition member main body 62.

  The cover plate member 64 has a thin, substantially square plate shape, and a plurality of upper through holes 78 penetrating vertically are provided in a portion covering the housing recess 66 in a state of being fixed to the partition member main body 62 described later. Is formed.

  Then, the cover plate member 64 is overlaid on the upper surface of the partition member main body 62, and the partition member main body 62 and the cover plate member 64 are fixed to each other by means such as screws or welding (not shown). The opening of the housing recess 66 of the partition member main body 62 is covered with the cover plate member 64 by overlapping the partition member main body 62 and the cover plate member 64, and the housing recess 66 of the partition member main body 62 The movable film 80 to be accommodated is disposed between the partition member main body 62 and the cover plate member 64 above and below. The movable membrane 80 has a substantially annular plate shape, and has an inner peripheral end protruding upward. The movable membrane 80 is externally inserted into the central connecting portion 72 of the partition member main body 62, and the inner peripheral end is partitioned. It is supported by the partition member 56 by being vertically sandwiched between the member main body 62 and the cover plate member 64.

  The flexible film 58 is a thin rubber film having a substantially square dome shape, has a slack in the vertical direction, and is easily deformable in the thickness direction. Further, a thick sandwiching portion 82 is formed integrally and continuously over the entire circumference at the outer peripheral end of the flexible film 58.

  The pressing member 60 has a substantially rectangular frame shape, and an inner peripheral portion which is thinner in the upper and lower portions than the outer peripheral portion is provided so as to be deflected upward.

  The partition member 56, the flexible film 58, and the pressing member 60 having such a structure constitute the liquid seal assembly 18 by being vertically overlapped and connected to each other. Specifically, for example, a connecting protrusion provided on one of the partition member main body 62 and the holding member 60 is inserted into a connecting hole formed on the other of the partition member main body 62 and the holding member 60. In this state, the diameter of the projecting distal end of the connecting projection is increased by heating with a laser or the like, whereby the partition member 56 and the pressing member 60 are connected and fixed to each other. However, the method of fixing the partition member main body 62 and the holding member 60 is not limited to the above example, and may be realized by, for example, screwing or welding. Further, since the holding portion 82 of the flexible film 58 is vertically held between the outer peripheral portion of the partition member main body 62 and the inner peripheral portion of the pressing member 60, the outer peripheral end portion of the flexible film 58 is partitioned. The partition member 56, the flexible film 58, and the pressing member 60 are connected to each other by being sandwiched between the member 56 and the pressing member 60. The outer peripheral end of the flexible film 58 is continuously sandwiched between the partition member main body 62 and the pressing member 60 over the entire circumference, so that the overlapping surface of the partition member main body 62 and the pressing member 60 is formed. The space is sealed annularly.

  Then, the liquid seal assembly 18 is attached to the mount main body 12 in a state where the partition member 56 is inserted into the second attachment member 22 as shown in FIG. Thereby, the partition member 56 overlaps the second mounting member 22 in the projection in the direction perpendicular to the axis, and in the present embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the partition member 56 is overlapped with the inner peripheral surface of the second mounting member 22. I have.

  Further, between the overlapping surfaces of the inner peripheral surface of the second mounting member 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the partition member 56, the outer concave groove 32 of the second mounting member 22 and the inner concave groove 76 of the partition member main body 62 are provided. A pin insertion hole 84 extending forward and backward is formed, and the positioning pin 86 is inserted into the pin insertion hole 84, whereby the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 are relatively positioned in the axial direction.

  The pin insertion hole 84 of the present embodiment has a substantially square cross section, and a pair of mutually independent pairs is provided on the left and right sides, and the pin insertion holes 84 on the left and right sides extend linearly forward and backward, respectively. ing. In the present embodiment, the upper and lower widths of the left and right inner openings of the outer groove 32 are made larger than the upper and lower widths of the left and right outer openings of the inner groove 76. In the present embodiment, the depth dimension of the outer concave groove 32 formed on the second metal attachment member 22 is the same as the depth dimension of the inner concave groove 76 formed on the synthetic resin partition member main body 62. Has been smaller than. Further, the front and rear length of the outer groove 32 is shorter than the front and rear length of the inner groove 76, and the rear end of the outer groove 32 is located forward of the rear end of the inner groove 76.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the positioning pins 86, 86 are inserted into the pin insertion holes 84, 84, and the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 are axially moved with respect to the positioning pins 86, 86. By being locked, the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 are relatively positioned in the axial direction by the positioning pins 86. That is, the left and right outer portions of the positioning pins 86, 86 are inserted into the outer grooves 32 of the second mounting member 22, and the left and right inner portions of the positioning pins 86, 86 are inserted into the inner grooves 76 of the partition member 56. You. Since the rear end of the outer groove 32 is located forward of the rear end of the inner groove 76, the positioning pins 86, 86 are inserted into the outer groove 32 after being inserted into the inner groove 76. .

  By inserting the positioning pins 86, 86 into the pin insertion holes 84, 84, the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 are relatively positioned at appropriate axial positions. Thereby, the seal rubber layer 46 fixed to the second mounting member 22 is sandwiched between the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56, and the space between the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 is fluid. It is kept tightly sealed. In particular, since the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 are relatively positioned in the axial direction, the seal rubber layer 46 is formed between the seal projection 28 of the second mounting member 22 and the upper surface of the partition member 56. The space between the second attachment member 22 and the partition member 56 is sealed by being compressed vertically. In short, the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 are locked in the axial direction by the positioning pins 86, 86 inserted into the pin insertion holes 84, 84. Thus, the position between the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 is relatively positioned at a sealing position where the sealing member is fluid-tightly sealed.

  Further, when the liquid seal assembly 18 is attached to the mount main body 12, a fluid chamber 88 that is fluid-tightly separated from the outside is formed between the main rubber elastic body 24 and the flexible film 58 in the axial direction. I have. In the fluid chamber 88, a part of the wall is formed of the main rubber elastic body 24, and the other part of the wall is formed of the flexible film 58. The fluid chamber 88 is filled with an incompressible fluid. ing. The incompressible fluid (filled fluid) sealed in the fluid chamber 88 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, water, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, alkylene glycol, polyalkylene glycol, silicone oil, or a mixture thereof. A mixed solution or the like is suitably employed. Further, the sealed fluid is desirably a low-viscosity fluid, and more preferably a low-viscosity fluid of 0.1 Pa · s or less is employed in order to advantageously obtain a vibration damping effect based on the fluid flow action described below. You.

  Further, the partition member 56 is disposed so as to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis in the fluid chamber 88, and the fluid chamber 88 is divided into two parts by the partition member 56. Thus, a pressure receiving chamber 90 in which a part of the wall portion is formed of the main rubber elastic body 24 and in which an internal pressure fluctuation is generated at the time of vertical vibration input is formed above the partition member 56. On the lower side of the member 56, an equilibrium chamber 92 is formed in which a part of the wall portion is constituted by the flexible film 58, and a volume change is allowed and the internal pressure is kept substantially constant. The incompressible fluid is sealed in the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the equilibrium chamber 92 by, for example, filling the connection operation between the mount body 12 and the liquid seal assembly 18 using the positioning pins 86, 86 with the incompressible fluid. It is realized by performing in an aquarium. However, the incompressible fluid may be injected into the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the equilibrium chamber 92 by a syringe or the like after the mount body 12 and the liquid seal assembly 18 are fluid-tightly connected by the positioning pins 86, 86.

  Further, the partition member 56 is formed with an orifice passage 94 that connects the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the balancing chamber 92 to each other. The orifice passage 94 is formed by forming both ends of a tunnel-shaped flow path formed by covering an upper opening of a circumferential groove 74 formed in the partition member main body 62 with a cover plate member 64, and forming both ends of the orifice passage 94 in the cover plate member 64. It is formed by communicating with one of the pressure receiving chamber 90 and one of the equilibrium chamber 92 through an upper communication hole (not shown) and a lower communication hole (not shown) formed in the partition member main body 62. The orifice passage 94 adjusts the ratio (A / L) of the passage cross-sectional area A to the passage length L in consideration of the wall spring stiffness of the fluid chamber 88 so that the tuning frequency, which is the resonance frequency of the flowing fluid, is adjusted to the engine shake. The frequency is set to a frequency corresponding to low-frequency vibration such as. When the low-frequency axial vibration in which the orifice passage 94 is tuned is input, a relative pressure fluctuation between the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the equilibrium chamber 92 is caused, and the sealed fluid flows between the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the equilibrium chamber 92. The fluid flows in a resonant state through the orifice passage 94. As a result, an anti-vibration effect (high damping effect) based on a flow action such as a fluid resonance action is exerted.

  Further, the upper surface of the movable film 80 of the partition member 56 is subjected to the hydraulic pressure of the pressure receiving chamber 90 through the upper through hole 78, and the lower surface thereof is subjected to the hydraulic pressure of the equilibrium chamber 92 through the lower through hole 70. Accordingly, when the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving chamber 90 is significantly reduced with respect to the hydraulic pressure in the equilibrium chamber 92 due to the input of a large load, the movable membrane 80 is elastically deformed and separates from the bottom surface of the housing recess 66. Thereby, the lower through-hole 70 covered with the movable film 80 is opened, and the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the equilibrium chamber 92 are mutually communicated through the upper through-hole 78, the accommodation recess 66, and the lower through-hole 70. As a result, the negative pressure in the pressure receiving chamber 90 is reduced or eliminated as quickly as possible, and the generation of cavitation bubbles is prevented, so that the generation of abnormal noise due to cavitation is prevented. In addition, when a vibration having a frequency higher than the tuning frequency of the orifice passage 94 is input, a vibration isolating effect (vibration insulating effect) is exerted based on hydraulic pressure transmission between the pressure receiving chamber 90 and the equilibrium chamber 92 due to elastic deformation of the movable film.

  A bracket 14 is mounted on the mount body 12 having such a structure. The bracket 14 is a high-rigidity member formed of a metal such as an aluminum alloy, a fiber-reinforced synthetic resin, or the like, and as shown in FIGS. And a top plate 98 that integrally connects the upper ends of the left and right mounting legs 96, 96.

  The left and right mounting legs 96, 96 are formed in a thick plate shape having a predetermined width dimension in the front-rear direction, are disposed so as to face each other on the left and right, and are provided at both front and rear ends and a front-rear intermediate portion. Reinforcing ribs 100 projecting left and right outward are integrally formed. Also, the lower ends of the left and right mounting legs 96, 96 are formed in a plate shape that spreads outward in the left and right directions, and the mounting nuts 102 are fixed thereto.

  The left and right mounting legs 96, 96 of the bracket 14 are provided with connecting grooves 104, which open inward in the opposing direction and extend forward and backward, respectively. The connecting grooves 104 are used to insert the second mounting member 22. It has a groove shape substantially corresponding to the connecting portion 34. More specifically, the connection groove portion 104 is configured such that the upper inner surface 106 and the lower inner surface 108, which are the inner surfaces of the groove side walls, are planes each extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and face each other at a predetermined distance vertically. The left and right inner surfaces 110, which are the inner surfaces of the groove bottoms, are planes extending vertically and forward and backward, and are continuous with the upper inner surface 106 and the lower inner surface 108.

  The groove width dimension (the vertical distance between the upper inner surface 106 and the lower inner surface 108) of the connecting groove 104 is determined by the vertical thickness of the insertion connecting part 34 and the vertical urging rubber 50 in the mount body 12 alone before the bracket 14 is mounted. Is smaller than the total value of the upper and lower thickness dimensions.

  Lock projections 112 are formed on the left and right mounting legs 96, 96, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lock protrusion 112 protrudes upward from the lower inner surface 108 at the rear end of the connection groove 104. The lock protrusion 112 is partially formed in the left-right direction that is the groove depth direction of the connection groove 104, and in the present embodiment, is disposed at the left and right outer portions as shown in FIGS. Further, the lock projection 112 is formed to have a left-right dimension corresponding to the notch 36 of the second mounting member 22, and the projection dimension is gradually reduced toward the rear, so that the projection tip surface (upper surface) is rearward. The inclined surface 114 is inclined downward toward.

  Further, the protruding height (maximum protruding height) of the front end of the lock protruding portion 112 is made smaller than the thickness dimension of the vertical urging rubber 50 covering the upper surface of the insertion connecting portion 34 and the upper and lower portions of the notch 36 It is equal to or less than the depth. Further, the distance between the opposing surfaces in the front-rear direction of the lock protrusion 112 and a front wall portion 116 described later is longer than the front-rear length of the insertion connection portion 34, and the front end of the front-rear bias rubber 52 from the rear end of the insertion connection portion 34. It is shorter than the distance.

  At the upper ends of the left and right mounting legs 96, 96, a top plate 98 is integrally formed. The top plate portion 98 is formed in a plate shape extending left and right with a predetermined width in the front and rear directions. Reinforcing ribs 100 are formed so as to protrude upward at both front and rear end portions and front and rear intermediate portions. Reinforcing ribs 115 are integrally formed between the front and rear portions of 100, 100, and 100, respectively.

  A front wall 116 is formed integrally with the front ends of the left and right mounting legs 96, 96. The front wall portion 116 is formed in a plate shape extending in the left-right direction, and is disposed to be separated downward from the top plate portion 98. The lower portions of the left and right mounting legs 96, 96 are integrally formed by the front wall portion 116. It is connected to. The front ends of the connecting grooves 104 formed in the left and right mounting legs 96, 96 are closed by the front wall 116, and the left and right outer ends of the front wall 116 are connected to the left and right mounting legs 96, 96. A through-hole penetrating the portion forward and backward communicates with the connection groove 104. In addition, through holes are formed at both left and right end portions of the front wall portion 116 so as to penetrate back and forth, and the front end of the connection groove portion 104 is closed with the through hole communicating forward.

  A bottom plate 118 is integrally formed between the facing surfaces of the left and right mounting legs 96, 96. The bottom plate portion 118 has a plate shape extending left and right with a predetermined width in the front and rear direction, and is disposed vertically opposite to the top plate portion 98. The lower ends of the parts 116 are integrally connected by a bottom plate part 118. Further, a window 120 that allows the flexible film 58 to deform is formed in the bottom plate 118 so as to penetrate vertically. The bottom plate 118 is provided below the connecting groove 104.

  Then, the bracket 14 is attached to the mount body 12. That is, the mount body 12 is inserted laterally from the rear into the region surrounded by the left and right mounting legs 96, 96, the top plate 98, and the bottom plate 118 of the bracket 14, and the second mounting member of the mount body 12 is provided. The bracket 14 is mounted on the mount main body 12 by inserting the insertion connecting portions 34 of the 22 into the connecting grooves 104 of the bracket 14.

  More specifically, the insertion connection portion 34 is inserted into the connection groove portion 104, and as shown in FIG. 8, the left and right inner portions of the insertion connection portion 34 to which the vertical urging rubber 50 is fixed are connected to the upper inner surface of the connection groove portion 104. The second attachment member 22 having the insertion connection portion 34 is vertically held between the lower inner surface 108 and the lower inner surface 108, and is vertically positioned with respect to the bracket 14 having the connection groove portion 104. Since the total value of the vertical thickness of the insertion connecting portion 30 and the vertical thickness of the vertical urging rubber 50 is larger than the groove width of the connecting groove 104, the bracket 14 is attached to the mount body 12. In the mounted state, the vertical urging rubber 50 is compressed vertically between the upper surface of the insertion coupling portion 30 and the opposing surface of the upper inner surface 106 of the coupling groove portion 104.

  On the other hand, in the left and right outer portions of the insertion connecting portion 34, as shown in FIG. 9, the locking protrusions 40 of the insertion connecting portion 34 are locked in the front-rear direction with the lock protrusions 112 of the connecting groove portion 104. The insertion connecting portion 34 is prevented from coming off from the connecting groove 104 to the rear. In particular, in the present embodiment, the notch 36 is formed in the left and right outer portions of the insertion connecting portion 34, and the lock protrusion 112 moves rearward relative to the second mounting member 22 in the notch 36. The insertion of the insertion connecting portion 34 into the connection groove 104 is facilitated, and the locking projection 40 of the insertion connecting portion 34 is inserted into the connection groove 104 over the lock projection 112. The protrusion 40 is locked with the lock protrusion 112 in the front-rear direction.

  Here, since the vertical thickness of the vertical urging rubber 50 fixed to the upper surface of the insertion connecting portion 34 is larger than the vertical projection height of the lock projection 112, the locking projection of the insertion connecting portion 34 is formed. The portion 40 rides over the lock protrusion 112 due to the compression deformation of the vertical urging rubber 50, and the insertion connecting portion 34 is inserted into the connecting groove 104. Then, the insertion connection portion 34 and the connection groove portion 104 are mutually locked in the vertical direction, whereby the insertion connection portion 34 and the connection groove portion 104 are positioned with respect to each other in the vertical direction, and the mount body 12 and the bracket 14 are moved up and down. Are positioned relative to each other.

  Further, the insertion connecting portion 34 inserted into the connecting groove portion 104 over the locking protrusion portion 112 is urged downward by the elasticity of the vertical urging rubber 50 compressed vertically, and the locking projecting portion of the connecting groove portion 104 is formed. The locking projection 40 of the insertion connecting portion 34 inserted forward of the projection 112 overlaps the locking projection 112 in the front-rear projection (see FIGS. 9 and 10). As a result, the locking projection 40 of the insertion connecting portion 34 inserted into the connecting groove portion 104 is locked in the front-rear direction with the locking protrusion 112 of the connecting groove portion 104, and the insertion connecting portion 34 comes out of the connecting groove portion 104. Is prevented.

  As described above, since the locking projection 40 of the insertion connecting portion 34 is configured to ride over the lock projection 112 by the elastic deformation of the vertical urging rubber 50, the insertion connecting portion 34 is inserted when the insertion connecting portion 34 is inserted into the connecting groove 104. The connecting portion 34 and the connecting groove portion 104 do not need to be deformed, and the durability of the second mounting member 22 including the inserting connecting portion 34 and the bracket 14 including the connecting groove portion 104 is improved. In particular, in the engine mount 10 in which the second mounting member 22 and the bracket 14 are formed of a synthetic resin, damage when the second mounting member 22 and the bracket 14 are assembled is prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front surface of the locking projection 40 is the guide surface 42 inclined upward and forward, and the guide surface 42 is pressed against the rear end of the lock projection 112 by applying a force in the insertion direction. By applying, an upward force acts on the insertion connecting portion 34. As a result, the vertical urging rubber 50 is vertically compressed between the upper surface of the insertion coupling portion 34 and the upper inner surface 106 of the coupling groove portion 104, so that the locking projection 40 can easily get over the lock projection 112.

  Further, since the protrusion height of the lock protrusion 112 is gradually reduced toward the rear, the locking protrusion 40 can easily get over the lock protrusion 112. On the other hand, since the vertical dimension of the front surface of the lock protrusion 112 is large, the locking protrusion 40 located forward over the lock protrusion 112 has a large area with respect to the lock protrusion 112 in the front-rear direction. As a result, the insertion connecting portion 34 and the connecting groove portion 104 are effectively positioned in the front-rear direction. In addition, since the rear surface of the locking projection 40 and the front surface of the locking projection 112 are both extended substantially perpendicularly to the front-rear direction, it is necessary to prevent the insertion connecting portion 34 from coming out of the connecting groove 104 rearward. This can be effectively prevented by the front and rear locking of the stop projection 40 and the lock projection 112.

  Further, the vertical urging rubber 50 is provided in front of the locking projection 40 of the insertion connecting portion 34, and a portion corresponding to the formation portion of the locking projection 40 in the vertical thickness direction is The vertical urging rubber 50 is not provided. Accordingly, when the locking projection 40 crosses the locking projection 112, the rear end side of the insertion connecting portion 30 in the insertion direction is inclined so as to be lifted upward, so that it can be easily climbed over. The mounting work to the main body 12 is easy.

  Further, the front / rear biasing rubber 52 fixed to the front surface of the insertion connection portion 34 is compressed back and forth between the insertion connection portion 34 and the front wall portion 116, so that the insertion connection portion 34 moves backward with respect to the bracket 14. It is elastically biased. As a result, the locking projections 40 are pressed against the locking projections 112 in the front-rear direction, and the mount body 12 including the insertion connection portions 34 and the bracket 14 including the connection groove portions 104 are relatively positioned in the front-rear direction. At the same time, it is possible to prevent the locking projection 40 and the locking projection 112 from coming into contact with each other from a separated state and generating abnormal noise.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the left and right urging rubbers 54 are fixed to the left and right outer surfaces of the insertion connecting portion 34, and the left and right urging rubbers 54 are compressed between the insertion connecting portion 34 and the left and right inner surfaces 110 of the connecting groove 104. ing. As a result, the error between the distance between the left and right outer surfaces of the left and right insertion connecting portions 34, 34 in the mount body 12 and the distance between the left and right connecting groove portions 104, 104 in the bracket 14 due to dimensional errors of the components and the like. The mounting of the mount body 12 and the bracket 14 is facilitated by being allowed by the right and left urging rubbers 54.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lock protrusion 112 is formed on the left and right outer portions of the connection groove portion 104, and the notch 36 is formed on the left and right outer portion of the insertion connection portion 34 ahead of the locking protrusion 40. ing. As a result, when the insertion connecting portion 34 is inserted into the connecting groove portion 104, the lock protrusion 112 moves in the notch 36, thereby increasing the frictional resistance due to the lock protrusion 112 slidingly contacting the insertion connecting portion 34. Can be prevented, and the insertion connecting portion 34 can be easily inserted into the connecting groove portion 104.

  Further, the left and right inner portions of the lower inner surface 108 of the connection groove 104 are flat surfaces, and the left and right inner sides of the notch 36 in the insertion connection portion 34 are flat support surfaces 38. When inserted into the connection groove 104, the support surface 38 of the insertion connection 34 is in sliding contact with the lower inner surface 108 of the connection groove 104. Thereby, the insertion connecting part 34 is inserted without being inclined with respect to the connecting groove part 104, and the catch at the time of insertion is avoided.

  In the present embodiment, the support surface 38 of the insertion connection portion 34 is exposed without being covered with rubber or the like, and the insertion connection portion 34 directly abuts on the inner surface of the connection groove 104 on the support surface 38. The portion 34 is more stably positioned with respect to the connecting groove portion 104 in the up-down direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the engine mount 10 is configured such that the first mounting member 20 is mounted on the power unit 122, and the bracket 14 fixed to the second mounting member 22 is mounted on the vehicle body 124 by the mounting nut 102. By being attached, the power unit 122 is mounted on the vehicle, and the load supported by the power unit 122 acts on the mount main body 12 downward in the mounted state on the vehicle. In the present embodiment, since the lower surface of the insertion connecting portion 34 of the mount body 12 and the lower inner surface 108 of the connecting groove portion 104 of the bracket 14 are directly in contact with each other without using rubber or the like, the shared supporting load of the power unit 122 is reduced. By preventing the positioning rubber 48 from acting, the durability of the positioning rubber 48 is improved.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, when the mount body 12 is mounted on the bracket 14, the second mounting member 22 and the liquid seal assembly 18 are connected to the upper inner surface 106 of the connection groove 104 of the bracket 14. By being vertically sandwiched between and the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 118, it is relatively positioned and held vertically. Therefore, the positioning pin 86 inserted between the second mounting member 22 and the partition member 56 while maintaining a fluid-tight seal between the second mounting member 22 and the liquid ring assembly 18. Can be removed from the pin insertion hole 84, and the positioning pin 86 can be used repeatedly.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described in full detail, this invention is not limited by the specific description. For example, it is not essential that a notch is formed in the insertion connection portion, and the entire lower surface of the insertion connection portion may be a flat support surface. Furthermore, when the notch is omitted, there is no need to particularly provide a locking projection formed behind the notch, and the rear end of the insertion connecting portion is locked by the locking projection. I just want to.

  Further, the lock projection can be formed over the entirety of the connection groove in the groove depth direction. Further, the lock projection is desirably provided at the rear end of the connecting groove in the insertion direction, but may be provided at an intermediate portion in the insertion direction.

  It is preferable that the upper and lower urging rubbers fixed to the insertion connection portion are fixed to the upper surface of the insertion connection portion, but may be fixed to the lower surface of the insertion connection portion. In this case, the lock projection is formed to project from the upper inner surface of the connection groove. Furthermore, it is desirable that the surface opposite to the fixing surface of the upper and lower urging rubber in the insertion connecting portion is exposed and directly abuts on the connecting groove portion as shown in the above-described embodiment. May be covered. The upper and lower urging rubber can be formed separately from the main rubber elastic body, or may be formed separately from the front and rear urging rubber and the left and right urging rubber. Further, the front and rear urging rubber and the left and right urging rubber can be omitted, and can be formed separately from the vertical urging rubber.
