2. Description of the Related Art For example, an anti-vibration device as an engine mount is provided between an engine serving as a vibration generating portion of a vehicle and a vehicle body serving as a vibration receiving portion. The anti-vibration device generates an engine. Absorbs vibration and suppresses vibration transmitted to the vehicle body. As such a vibration isolator, for example, an elastic body deformed by receiving a vibration from a vibration generating unit, a pressure-receiving liquid chamber having the elastic body as a part of an inner wall, and a pressure-receiving liquid chamber and a restriction passage are provided. A so-called liquid-filled type is known, which is provided with a sub-liquid chamber in which a part of a partition wall is constituted by a diaphragm. When this liquid-filled type vibration damping device is applied as an engine mount of a vehicle, the elastic body is deformed by the vibration from the engine when the engine is operated, and the restriction passage is provided between the pressure receiving liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber. Liquid column resonance, which is a phenomenon in which liquids flow mutually, occurs.
Thus, the engine vibration input to the vibration isolator is absorbed by the vibration absorbing action based on the internal friction of the elastic body, the viscous resistance of the liquid, and the like, so that the engine vibration transmitted to the vehicle body can be effectively suppressed.

The water, oil,
A liquid such as glycerin is filled and sealed by a vacuum injection method. In the liquid filling step of the vacuum injection method, first, a vacuum pump and a liquid supply container are connected via a pressure pipe to an end on the outer shell side of a liquid injection passage penetrating from the outer shell of the device into the pressure receiving liquid chamber. . Here, a switching valve is arranged in the middle of the pressure pipe, and the communication destination of the liquid injection path can be switched to one of the vacuum pump and the liquid supply container by the switching valve. Further, a liquid to be supplied to the vibration isolator is stored in the liquid supply container.

Thereafter, the vacuum pump is operated by connecting the vacuum pump to the liquid injection path by the switching valve, and the inside of the liquid chamber space including the pressure receiving liquid chamber, the restriction passage, and the auxiliary liquid chamber is brought to a predetermined degree of vacuum by the vacuum pump. The air in the liquid chamber space is exhausted to the outside of the apparatus until the pressure reaches the predetermined value. When the inside of the liquid chamber space reaches a predetermined degree of vacuum, the liquid supply container is connected to the liquid injection path by the switching valve.
Thereby, the liquid in the liquid supply container is sucked into the liquid chamber space by the action of the vacuum (negative pressure) in the liquid chamber space, and the pressure receiving liquid chamber,
Liquid is filled and sealed in the restriction passage and the sub liquid chamber, respectively.

However, in the liquid filling step by the above-described vacuum injection method, when the inside of the liquid chamber space including the pressure receiving liquid chamber, the restriction passage, and the sub liquid chamber is depressurized by the vacuum pump, the auxiliary pressure is reduced. Before the internal pressure of the liquid chamber reaches a predetermined degree of vacuum, that is, in a state where the air in the sub liquid chamber has not sufficiently escaped, the diaphragm is adsorbed near the opening end of the restriction passage opening to the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber. In some cases, the restriction passage may be closed by the diaphragm, or the gap communicating with the restriction passage may be cut off from other gaps.
As a result, a gap containing air is formed between the diaphragm and the inner wall portion in the sub-liquid chamber. In such a state, the liquid supply container is communicated with the liquid injection path and the liquid supply space is separated from the liquid supply container. Even if the liquid is sucked into the sub liquid chamber, the liquid cannot be filled and sealed into the sub liquid chamber without any gap, and air remains in the liquid chamber space. At this time, if even a small amount of air remains in the liquid chamber space, this air is easily compressed or expanded due to a change in pressure in the liquid chamber space, so that the liquid column between the pressure receiving liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber Resonance is suppressed, and the spring constant of the whole vibration isolator becomes smaller than a design value. As a result, the vibration isolating performance is greatly reduced.

According to the vibration damping device having the above-described structure, the pressure-receiving surface of the partition member facing the sub-liquid chamber is provided with the negative pressure introduction path.
When the pressure in the sub-liquid chamber is reduced through the restriction passage and a part of the diaphragm comes into close contact with the partition member, the negative pressure introduction path restricts a gap generated between another part of the diaphragm and the inner wall of the sub-liquid chamber. By communicating with the passage, the pressure in the sub-liquid chamber is reduced through the restriction passage, that is, when the air in the sub-liquid chamber is exhausted through the restriction passage, the pressure in the sub-liquid chamber decreases and the diaphragm moves in the direction of reducing the volume of the sub-liquid chamber. Even if the diaphragm is deformed and only a part of the diaphragm adheres to the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber, and a gap is formed between the other part of the diaphragm and the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber, the gap is formed through the negative pressure introduction path. Thus, the air in the sub liquid chamber can be reliably reduced (exhausted) through the restriction passage until the required degree of vacuum is obtained. Therefore, if the liquid is supplied through the restriction passage to the sub-liquid chamber depressurized to the required degree of vacuum, the air flows into the sub-liquid chamber without exhausting the air from the sub-liquid chamber or pressurizing the liquid during liquid supply. Liquid can be filled so that it does not remain.

A plurality of projections are provided on the pressure-receiving surface of the partition member facing the sub-liquid chamber so as to protrude into the sub-liquid chamber, and a concave groove formed between the plurality of projections is provided. Can be used as a negative pressure introduction path. In this case, for example, since the plurality of protrusions may be integrally formed as a part of the partition member, without increasing the number of parts of the apparatus,
A negative pressure introduction path can be provided in the sub liquid chamber.

Further, the partition member provided with the negative pressure introduction passage can be elastically deformed in the direction of volume expansion and contraction between the pressure receiving liquid chamber and the sub-liquid chamber, and responds to changes in the liquid pressure in the pressure receiving liquid chamber and the sub-liquid chamber. An elastic partition wall that deforms in the volume expansion / contraction direction, that is, a so-called membrane may be used. By making the partition member a membrane,
For example, even when a large-amplitude vibration is input, an excessive increase in the hydraulic pressure in the pressure-receiving liquid chamber can be prevented, so that a decrease in the damping ability with respect to the large-amplitude vibration accompanying an increase in the dynamic spring constant can be suppressed.

According to the method of filling the vibration isolator with the liquid having the above-described configuration, the negative pressure source is connected indirectly or directly to the restriction passage, and the negative pressure source reduces the pressure in the sub-liquid chamber through the restriction passage. At the same time, the pressure in the sub-liquid chamber is reduced, and the diaphragm is deformed in the direction in which the volume of the sub-liquid chamber is reduced.

Here, the elastic partition wall portion 76 of the diaphragm 74 constituting a part of the partition wall of the sub liquid chamber 82 has a lower rigidity than other parts of the partition wall of the sub liquid chamber 82, for example, the membrane rubber 62. . Therefore, when the air in the sub-liquid chamber 82 is exhausted and the pressure in the sub-liquid chamber 82 is reduced, the elastic partition wall portion 76 of the diaphragm 74 is preferentially deformed in the direction of reducing the volume of the sub-liquid chamber 82. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the central portion of the elastic partition wall portion 76 is pressed against the lower surface of the projection 78 of the membrane rubber 62 as shown by a solid line.
At this time, the projection 78 is deformed into a shape such that a part of the elastic partition 76 enters the negative pressure introduction channel 80, and the negative pressure introduction channel 80 is closed by the elastic partition 76, or the elastic partition 76.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Even if the vicinity of the central portion of the elastic partition wall portion 76 closely adheres to the lower surface of the projection 78 of the membrane rubber 62 due to the action of the negative pressure in 2, the gap is formed between the outer peripheral portion of the elastic partition wall portion 76 and the partition wall member 56. The entire gap communicates with the restriction passage 70 through the negative pressure introduction passage 80. As a result, when the pressure in the liquid chamber space 98 is reduced to a predetermined degree of vacuum, the entire sub liquid chamber 82 is reliably reduced to a predetermined degree of vacuum through the restriction passage 70.

In the vibration isolator 10 of the present embodiment, when vibration from the engine is transmitted to the elastic body 18 via the top plate 12, the elastic body 18 acts as a vibration absorber and the elastic body 1
Vibration is absorbed by the vibration absorbing action based on the internal friction of No. 8. At the same time, the internal volume of the pressure receiving liquid chamber 66 expands and contracts with the deformation of the elastic body 18, and the liquid flows between the pressure receiving liquid chamber 66 and the auxiliary liquid chamber 82 through the restriction passage 70. At this time, the diaphragm 74 forming a part of the partition wall of the sub liquid chamber 82 is deformed in the volume expansion / contraction direction, and the rise in the liquid pressure in the sub liquid chamber 82 is suppressed. The liquid flows smoothly between the pressure receiving liquid chamber 66 and the sub liquid chamber 82 following the expansion and contraction (fluctuation of the liquid pressure). As a result, vibration energy is absorbed by the pressure change, viscous resistance, and the like of the liquid passing through the restriction passage 70, and the vibration transmitted from the engine to the vehicle body can be attenuated.

When vibrations in a frequency range (tuning frequency range) corresponding to the rigidity of the elastic body 18 and the length and cross-sectional area of the restriction passage 70 are input from the engine to the vibration isolator 10, the restriction passage 70 The liquid flow between the pressure receiving liquid chamber 66 and the sub liquid chamber 82 can be amplified by the resonance action (liquid column resonance) through the through hole, so that the vibration damping device 10 can particularly effectively attenuate the vibration in the tuning frequency range input from the engine. .

Further, the membrane rubber 62 for partitioning between the pressure receiving liquid chamber 66 and the sub liquid chamber 82 is provided in each of the liquid chambers 66, 82.
Is deformable in the volume expansion / contraction direction, for example, large-amplitude vibration is input to the elastic body 18 and the pressure-receiving liquid chamber 66
Even if the internal volume of the membrane changes suddenly, the membrane rubber 6
Since the excessive increase in the hydraulic pressure in the pressure receiving liquid chamber 66 can be prevented by the deformation of 2, the decrease in the damping ability with respect to the large amplitude vibration accompanying the increase in the dynamic spring constant can be suppressed.

On the other hand, when the liquid chamber space 98 of the vibration isolator 10 of the present embodiment is filled with liquid, four projections 78 are formed on the lower surface of the membrane rubber 62 so as to project into the sub liquid chamber 82, respectively. Since the negative pressure introduction passage 80 is formed between the projections 78, the pressure in the sub liquid chamber 82 is reduced through the restriction passage 70 when the liquid is filled into the liquid chamber space 98, and a part of the diaphragm 74 is partially removed. Even if the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber 82 including the lower surface of the projection 78 is in close contact with the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber 82 and a gap is formed between the other part of the diaphragm 74 and the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber 82, the negative pressure introduction passage 80 is still in contact with the diaphragm. The gap generated between the sub-liquid chamber and the inner wall of the auxiliary liquid chamber is communicated with the restriction passage.

As a result, the auxiliary liquid chamber 8 passes through the restriction passage 70.
2, the sub-liquid chamber 82 through the restriction passage 70
When the air inside is exhausted, the pressure in the auxiliary liquid chamber 82 decreases and the diaphragm deforms in the direction of reducing the volume of the auxiliary liquid chamber, and only a part of the diaphragm 74 adheres to the inner wall of the auxiliary liquid chamber 82. Even if a gap is formed between the other part of the diaphragm 74 and the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber 82, the gap can be communicated to the restriction passage 70 by the negative pressure introduction passage 80. The air in the chamber 82 can be reliably reduced in pressure (exhausted) until a required degree of vacuum is obtained. Therefore, if the liquid is supplied through the restriction passage 70 to the sub-liquid chamber 82 reduced in pressure to the required degree of vacuum, the air is not exhausted from the sub-liquid chamber 82 or the liquid to be supplied is pressurized at the time of supplying the liquid. The liquid can be filled so that air does not remain in the sub liquid chamber 82.
