2. Description of the Related Art In a liquid-filled vibration absorbing device of this type, two main and sub liquid chambers are formed by forming a partition wall inside a hollow main body containing an elastic body such as elastic rubber and a diaphragm. Fluid pressure fluctuations in the main liquid chamber are caused by a part of the sealed liquid in the main liquid chamber, which is compressed due to the deformation of the elastic rubber when vibration is applied, flows through the buffer orifice to the sub liquid chamber.

However, as described above, in a liquid-filled vibration absorbing device having only a buffer orifice and having a fixed partition wall, when the vibration is in a low frequency region, the sealed liquid passes through the orifice and passes through the secondary liquid. Since it flows to the chamber side, it is possible to absorb the fluid pressure fluctuation in the main fluid chamber and attenuate the vibration, but if the vibration is in the high frequency region, it will be in the same state as the orifice is closed, Fluid pressure fluctuations in the main liquid chamber cannot be absorbed, and high-frequency vibrations cannot be attenuated.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 181/181, a part of the side wall of the main liquid chamber is constituted by a movable plate or a vibrating plate (hereinafter referred to as a movable plate or the like), and the movable plate or the like is formed of an electromagnet and a magnetic fluid.

However, in the case of the conventional liquid-encapsulated vibration absorbing device such as the former (1), even if the partition wall is an elastic film, its rigidity is limited as long as it is a single member. Since it is constant and cannot change its stiffness according to the vibration frequency, it only exerts the damping effect on vibrations in a specific (one or very narrow range) frequency range, and at other frequencies A sufficient damping effect cannot be exerted on the vibration in the region.

In the conventional liquid-filled vibration absorbing device such as the latter (2), only the liquid pressure in the main liquid chamber can be adjusted by the displacement of the movable plate or the like, and the resonance frequency cannot be adjusted. Alternatively, since adjustment is possible only in a very limited narrow frequency range, there is a problem that the damping effect on vibration in a wide range of high frequency regions is insufficient.

According to the present invention having the above-described features, the partitioning of the laminated structure is achieved by adjusting the magnetic field intensity by controlling the current applied to the electromagnet to increase or decrease the viscosity of the MR fluid. The rigidity and vibration amplitude of the partition can be arbitrarily varied over a wide range. In this way, by providing the partitioning partition itself with a vibration resonance system, that is, a function of adjusting the resonance frequency, the viscosity of the MR fluid is maximized under the action of vibration in a low frequency range to make the partitioning partition rigid. The vibration is attenuated by the original liquid pressure absorption function of flowing the sealed liquid in the main liquid chamber through the buffer orifice to the sub liquid chamber, while under the vibration action in the high frequency range, the vibration is attenuated due to the viscosity adjustment of the MR fluid. By arbitrarily changing the rigidity of the partition wall itself, the resonance frequency can be finely adjusted over a wide range, and a sufficient damping effect can be exerted on vibrations in a wide range of high frequencies.

As described above, according to the present invention, the partition wall for separating the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber has a viscosity by adjusting the magnetic field strength through the control of the current applied to the electromagnet. Is composed of a laminated structure of an MR fluid capable of arbitrarily increasing / decreasing and a plurality of magnetic plates, so that the rigidity and vibration amplitude of the partition wall can be arbitrarily set in accordance with the vibration frequency, and The partition wall itself can be provided with a function of adjusting the resonance frequency so that the partition wall itself can be varied over a wide range. Therefore, under the vibration action in the low frequency range, the vibration can be attenuated by the original hydraulic pressure absorbing action that the enclosed liquid in the main liquid chamber flows to the sub liquid chamber through the buffer orifice with the rigidization of the partition wall. In addition, under the action of vibration in the high frequency range, the resonance frequency can be finely adjusted over a wide range by arbitrarily changing the rigidity of the partition wall itself, and sufficient attenuation can be achieved for vibration in a wide range of high frequency range. The effect that the effect can be exhibited is produced.
