Liquid-sealed antivibration device

摘要

A valve member formed of an elastomeric membrane for opening and closing a second orifice flow passage is mounted on a partition element such that the valve member is arranged orthogonal to the flow direction of the second orifice flow passage. A valve portion for closing openings of the second orifice flow passage due to flexural deformation of a flexible membrane portion caused by liquid flow in the second orifice flow passage is arranged on the flexible membrane, and communication holes for bring the second orifice flow passage into communication are formed in the flexible membrane portion. A cylindrical buffer portion projecting from the flexible membrane portion for surrounding the openings when the flexible membrane portion is deformed by flexure is provided to the valve portion, and a projection height of the cylindrical buffer portion is set larger than a wall thickness thereof.

主权项

1. A liquid-sealed antivibration device comprising:
a first mounting part to be mounted on one of a vibration source side and a support side; a second mounting part to be mounted on the other of the vibration source side and the support side; an antivibration base body formed of an elastomer interposed between the first mounting part and the second mounting part; a main liquid chamber whose chamber wall is partially formed of the antivibration base body and in which a liquid is sealed; at least one sub liquid chamber in which a liquid is sealed, each of the at least one sub liquid chamber comprising a chamber wall which is formed of a diaphragm comprising an elastomeric membrane; a first orifice flow passage which connects the main liquid chamber with any one of the at least one sub liquid chamber; a second orifice flow passage which is tuned to a frequency range higher than a frequency range of the first orifice flow passage and connects two liquid chambers out of the main liquid chamber and the at least one sub liquid chamber; a partition element which partitions the main liquid chamber and any one of the at least one sub liquid chamber and forms the second orifice flow passage therein; and a valve member formed of an elastomeric membrane for opening and closing the second orifice flow passage, the valve member being held orthogonal to the flow direction of the second orifice flow passage in a valve housing chamber formed in the partition element; wherein the valve member comprises:
an outer peripheral portion which is liquid-tightly held by the partition element; anda flexible membrane portion which is arranged inside the outer peripheral portion and on which a valve portion and a communication hole are formed, the valve portion is arranged to face in an opposed manner an opening of the second orifice flow passage leading to the valve housing chamber and is configured to close the opening due to flexural deformation of the flexible membrane portion caused by the flow of a liquid in the second orifice flow passage, the communication hole is formed at a position not being overlapped with the opening and is configured to bring the second orifice flow passage into communication, the valve portion comprises a cylindrical buffer portion which projects from a membrane surface of the flexible membrane portion, and is formed into a cylindrical shape for surrounding the opening in a state of flexural deformation of the flexible membrane portion, the projection height of the cylindrical buffer portion from the flexible membrane portion is set larger than a wall thickness of the cylindrical buffer portion, and is set larger than a wall thickness of the flexible membrane portion outside the cylindrical buffer portion, and a plurality of auxiliary projections are formed on a distal end of the cylindrical buffer portion.
