Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動車のサスペンションにおいて使用されるサスペンションブッシュに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車のサスペンションにおいて、車両ボデーとサスペンションアームの連結部にサスペンションブッシュを設置して、振動の伝達を防止することが行われている。このようなサスペンションブッシュは、一般に、同心状に配した内外筒間に防振ゴム体を接合した構成を有する。
【0003】
サスペンションブッシュは、操縦安定性の向上のためには、軸直角方向の剛性を高くし、乗り心地の向上のためには、こじり方向の剛性を低くすることが望ましい。これらのバランスを取るため、内筒の軸方向中央部を膨らませて膨出部を設けたものがあり、軸方向中央部の防振ゴム体幅を狭くして軸直角方向の剛性を高める一方、こじり方向の剛性を低く抑えることができる。
【0004】
ところで、上記内筒は一般に鍛造成形またはプレス成形されるため、膨出部の高さが高い場合など、膨出部の形状によっては、上記内筒と膨出部とを一体成形することが難しい。そこで、図5に示すように、内筒1と外筒2を同心状に配するとともに、内筒1の軸方向中央部の外周に凹部15を設け、該凹部15外周に、外周を略球状に膨出させた樹脂製筒状体5を嵌合固定して膨出部を形成することが提案されている(例えば実開平6−76729号公報等)。なお、内筒1と外筒2の間に防振ゴム体3が接合固定されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来の構成では、上記内筒1の外周に凹部15を有するため、この部分で薄肉となり、座屈強度が低下する。また、樹脂製の筒状体5に厚肉部、薄肉部が混在するため、成形時のヒケ等により設計通りの形状が得られにくく、さらに膨出部の高さが高いと、大きな荷重を受けやすくなるため、抜けや割れが生じるといった不具合があった。
【0006】
しかして、本発明の目的は、内筒の軸方向の強度が高く、また、樹脂部の成形が容易で形状精度を向上させることができ、大きな荷重を受けた時に、樹脂部の抜けや割れが生じることのないサスペンションブッシュを実現することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かかる目的を解決するために本発明のサスペンションブッシュは、図1の如く、同心状に配した内外筒1、2間に防振ゴム体3を接合してなり、上記内筒1の軸方向中央部の外周に外方に膨出する膨出部4を有している。そして、上記膨出部4を、上記内筒1の軸方向中央部の外周全周にこれと一体に成形され、上記膨出部4形状に沿うようにかつ上記膨出部4より小さく形成した凸状部11と、該凸状部11表面の全面を覆う一定厚さの樹脂材よりなる表層部41を接合し、該表層部、内筒と外筒間に防振ゴム体を接合し、該防振ゴム体の軸方向両端部に上記膨出部に達する環状の空間を形成したことを特徴とする(請求項1)。
【0008】
この時、上記凸状部11の表面に細かい多数の凹凸または溝を形成し(請求項2)、あるいは図2のように、上記凸状部11の表面に複数のスリット12または孔13を形成してもよく(請求項3)、上記表層部41との密着性、成形性が向上する。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1において、本発明のサスペンションブッシュは、円筒形の金属製の内筒1と金属製外筒2とを同心状に配設してなり、これら内外筒1、2間には防振ゴム体3が接合されている。
【0010】
上記内筒1は、図2に示すように、軸方向(図の左右方向)中央部の外周全周を外方に突出せしめて半円形断面の凸状部11となしてある。上記凸状部11表面には、その全面に一定厚(厚さt)の樹脂材を覆着して表層部41となしてあり、これら凸状部11と表層部41からなる膨出部4を形成している(図1)。
【0011】
上記構成のサスペンションブッシュを製作する場合には、まず凸状部11を設けた内筒1を第1の型内に配し、樹脂を射出成形して上記凸状部11表面を表層部41で覆い、上記膨出部4を形成する。この時、樹脂は熱収縮による緊迫力で接合されるが、必要に応じ接着剤を用いて接合してもよい。
【0012】
次いで、上記内筒1および外筒2の、防振ゴム体3との接合面に接着剤を塗布し、これらを第2の型内に同心状に配置した後、防振ゴム体3を射出成形すればよい。なお、上記防振ゴム体3の軸方向両端部に、上記膨出部4に達する環状の空間31、32を形成しておくと、こじり方向の変位が容易になり、剛性が低減できる。
【0013】
ここで、上記内筒1の上記凸状部11表面に、予めブラスト加工またはローレット加工等を施して、細かい多数の凹凸または溝等を形成しておけば、上記表層部41との密着性がより向上する。
【0014】
あるいは図3(a)に示すように、上記凸状部11表面に軸方向に延びる複数のスリット12を形成してもよく、樹脂流れがよくなって成形性が向上する。また、スリット12内に侵入する樹脂により上記表層部41と上記凸状部11の相対回転が規制され、回転方向の強度が向上する。ここでは、上記スリット12を凸状部11周面の4か所に設けたが、スリットの数はこれに限らず、複数以上であればよい。また、図3(b)に示すように、上記スリット12に代えて、上記凸状部11表面に複数の孔13を設けてもよい。
【0015】
上記凸状部11と、内筒1の左右両端部との境界部14は、図4(a)に示すように、曲線状としても、あるいは図4(b)に示すようにほぼ直角の角部となるようにしてもよいが、図4(b)のように角を形成すると、上記表層部41との密着性が向上し、抜け性がより向上する。
【0016】
上記構成によれば、内筒1の肉厚が一定で、従来のように樹脂材を嵌着するための薄肉部を有しないので、充分な座屈強度を確保することができる。また、表層部を構成する樹脂材の肉厚がほぼ一定であるので、成形時のヒケが少なくなり、形状精度の向上、ひいては性能向上が図れる。また、膨出部4高さが高い場合でも、凸状部11により膨出部4の移動が規制されるので、大荷重の入力による抜け、割れのおそれが小さく、耐久性が大幅に向上する。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明によれば、内筒の軸方向の強度が大きく向上し、また、樹脂部の形状精度が向上する。さらに、大荷重入力時の抜けや割れが抑制できる等、優れた効果が得られる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a suspension bush used in an automobile suspension.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In suspensions of automobiles, suspension bushing is installed at a connecting portion between a vehicle body and a suspension arm to prevent vibration transmission. Such a suspension bush generally has a configuration in which a vibration-proof rubber body is joined between inner and outer cylinders arranged concentrically.
[0003]
It is desirable that the suspension bush has a high rigidity in the direction perpendicular to the axis in order to improve steering stability, and a low rigidity in the twisting direction in order to improve the riding comfort. In order to balance these, there is what provided the bulging part by inflating the axial center part of the inner cylinder, while increasing the rigidity in the direction perpendicular to the axis by narrowing the anti-vibration rubber body width of the axial center part, The rigidity in the twisting direction can be kept low.
[0004]
By the way, since the inner cylinder is generally forged or press-molded, it is difficult to integrally form the inner cylinder and the bulging portion depending on the shape of the bulging portion, such as when the height of the bulging portion is high. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are concentrically arranged, and a recess 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the central portion in the axial direction of the inner cylinder 1, and the outer periphery is substantially spherical on the outer periphery of the recess 15. It has been proposed to form a bulging portion by fitting and fixing the resin tubular body 5 bulged into the shape (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-76729). A vibration isolating rubber body 3 is bonded and fixed between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional configuration, since the concave portion 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 1, the portion becomes thin and the buckling strength is reduced. In addition, since a thick portion and a thin portion are mixed in the cylindrical body 5 made of resin, it is difficult to obtain a shape as designed due to sink marks at the time of molding, and if the height of the bulging portion is high, a large load is applied. Because it is easier to receive, there were problems such as missing or cracking.
[0006]
Thus, the object of the present invention is to increase the axial strength of the inner cylinder, to facilitate the molding of the resin part and to improve the shape accuracy, and when the resin part is subjected to a large load, the resin part can be detached or cracked. This is to realize a suspension bushing that does not cause any problems.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve this object, the suspension bushing of the present invention is formed by joining a vibration-proof rubber body 3 between inner and outer cylinders 1 and 2 arranged concentrically as shown in FIG. A bulging portion 4 bulging outward is provided on the outer periphery of the portion. And the said bulging part 4 was integrally shape | molded by this in the outer periphery whole periphery of the axial direction center part of the said inner cylinder 1, and formed smaller than the said bulging part 4 along the said bulging part 4 shape. Bonding the convex portion 11 and a surface layer portion 41 made of a resin material having a constant thickness covering the entire surface of the convex portion 11, and bonding a vibration-proof rubber body between the surface layer portion, the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, An annular space reaching the bulging portion is formed at both ends in the axial direction of the anti-vibration rubber body (claim 1).
[0008]
At this time, a large number of fine irregularities or grooves are formed on the surface of the convex portion 11 (Claim 2), or a plurality of slits 12 or holes 13 are formed on the surface of the convex portion 11 as shown in FIG. (Claim 3), adhesion to the surface layer portion 41 and moldability are improved.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In FIG. 1, a suspension bush according to the present invention comprises a cylindrical metal inner cylinder 1 and a metal outer cylinder 2 arranged concentrically. 3 is joined.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 2, the inner cylinder 1 has a semicircular cross-section convex portion 11 by projecting the entire outer periphery of the central portion in the axial direction (left-right direction in the figure) outward. The surface of the convex portion 11 is covered with a resin material having a constant thickness (thickness t) on the entire surface to form a surface layer portion 41. The bulging portion 4 composed of the convex portion 11 and the surface layer portion 41 is formed. (FIG. 1).
[0011]
When manufacturing the suspension bush having the above-described configuration, first, the inner cylinder 1 provided with the convex portion 11 is placed in the first mold, the resin is injection-molded, and the surface of the convex portion 11 is covered with the surface layer portion 41. Cover and form the bulging portion 4. At this time, the resin is bonded by a tight force due to heat shrinkage, but may be bonded using an adhesive as necessary.
[0012]
Next, an adhesive is applied to the joint surfaces of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 with the anti-vibration rubber body 3, and these are arranged concentrically in the second mold, and then the anti-vibration rubber body 3 is injected. What is necessary is just to shape | mold. If annular spaces 31 and 32 reaching the bulging portion 4 are formed at both axial ends of the vibration-proof rubber body 3, the displacement in the twisting direction is facilitated and the rigidity can be reduced.
[0013]
Here, if the surface of the convex portion 11 of the inner cylinder 1 is blasted or knurled in advance to form a large number of fine irregularities or grooves, the adhesion to the surface layer portion 41 can be improved. More improved.
[0014]
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3A, a plurality of slits 12 extending in the axial direction may be formed on the surface of the convex portion 11, and the resin flow is improved and the moldability is improved. Moreover, relative rotation of the surface layer portion 41 and the convex portion 11 is restricted by the resin that enters the slit 12, and the strength in the rotation direction is improved. Here, although the said slit 12 was provided in four places of the convex-shaped part 11 peripheral surface, the number of slits is not restricted to this, What is necessary is just more than two. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, a plurality of holes 13 may be provided on the surface of the convex portion 11 instead of the slit 12.
[0015]
The boundary portion 14 between the convex portion 11 and the left and right end portions of the inner cylinder 1 may have a curved shape as shown in FIG. 4 (a) or a substantially right angle as shown in FIG. 4 (b). However, if corners are formed as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the adhesion with the surface layer portion 41 is improved, and the detachability is further improved.
[0016]
According to the said structure, since the thickness of the inner cylinder 1 is constant and there is no thin part for fitting a resin material like the past, sufficient buckling strength can be ensured. Further, since the thickness of the resin material constituting the surface layer portion is substantially constant, sink marks during molding are reduced, and shape accuracy can be improved, and consequently performance can be improved. Further, even when the height of the bulging portion 4 is high, the movement of the bulging portion 4 is restricted by the convex portion 11, so that there is little risk of disconnection or cracking due to input of a large load, and durability is greatly improved. .
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the axial strength of the inner cylinder is greatly improved, and the shape accuracy of the resin portion is improved. In addition, excellent effects such as the ability to suppress detachment and cracking when a large load is input can be obtained.
