Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the cutting-off force for the vibration in high frequency and small displacement and the damping force for the vibration in low frequency and large displacement by sealing a pressure receiving chamber whose capacity is reduced by the relative displacement of the inside and outside metal fittings and an equillibrium chamber constituted of flexible thin films, with incompressible fluid and allowing the both chambers to communicate each other through an orifice. CONSTITUTION:The vibration in high frequency and small displacement is cut-off by the elastic deformation in the direction of shear or rubber elastomers 30 and 52. While, for the vibration in low frequency and large displacement, the relative displacement in the axial direction between a piston rod 22 and the outside and inside metal fittings 26 and 28 becomes large, and when the both come close to each other, a pressure receiving chamber 58 contracts, and the liquid in the pressure receiving chamber 58 flows into the side of an equillibrium chamber 68 through an orifice 72, expanding a diaphragm rubber 62. Therefore, a damping force is generated for the vibration in large displacement. When the both metal fittings 26 and 28 are separated, liquid flows reversely, and a damping force is generated similarly. With such constitution, the cutting-off force for the vibration in high frequency and small displacement and the damping force for the vibration in low frequency and large displacement can be improved.

A type of prior art vehicle suspension system is a strut type that uses a shock absorber as a suspension link.
While one end of the induction heater is connected to the wheel side, the screws of the shock absorber are usually elastically connected to the vehicle body via an upper support, for example, the outside of the induction heater. A typical example is the so-called Munkferson Strasotho type suspension system, which is often used as a suspension system for the front wheels of a vehicle and has a coil spring disposed in the front wheel.

By the way, in such an upper support, soft spring characteristics (
It has an isolation characteristic that effectively isolates such vibrations while maintaining a low dynamic spring constant (dynamic spring constant), and a structure that quickly damps large displacement and low-frequency vibration inputs and protects the outer and inner fittings from each other. Perhaps because damping characteristics that suppress large displacements are required, the conventional ASOPAS support 1 attempts to achieve these two vibration damping characteristics only by the vibration damping action of the rubber elastic body. As a result, limitations naturally arose, and it was difficult to satisfy both of the required characteristics.

In the upper support including the outer metal fitting, the inner metal fitting, and the rubber elastic body as described above, the space is defined between the inner metal fitting and the outer metal fitting, and the volume is increased by the relative displacement between the inner metal fitting and the outer metal fitting.

Effects of the invention By doing this, when high frequency vibration is input with small displacement,
A soft spring characteristic, in other words a low dynamic spring constant, is obtained mainly due to the elastic deformation of the rubber elastic body, and transmission of such vibrations to the vehicle body can be effectively blocked. On the other hand, when a large displacement and low frequency vibration is input, the volume of the pressure receiving chamber is reduced due to the large relative displacement between the inner and outer fittings, and as a result, the incompressible fluid in the pressure receiving chamber is Due to the viscous resistance of the incompressible fluid flowing into the equilibrium chamber and flowing through the orifice, low frequency vibrations with such large displacements are rapidly damped. ~
However, it is a composite atopaza board that exhibits excellent vibration isolation properties in both vibration isolation and vibration damping capabilities.
It became possible to provide 1.

In response to vibration input in a high frequency range with a small displacement, the elastic deformation action of the rubber elastic bodies 30 and 52 mainly in the shear direction provides a function to effectively block such vibrations.
In other words, the dynamic spring constant is low and the spring characteristics are soft (

On the other hand, when a large displacement and low frequency vibration input is applied,
The relative displacement between the outer metal fitting 26 and the inner metal fitting 28 in the axial direction of the piston rod 22 increases, and the volume of the pressure receiving chamber 58 is reduced when the two approach each other. Accordingly, the fluid in the pressure receiving chamber 58 flows into the equilibrium chamber 68 side through the orifice 72 while causing the diaphragm rubber 62 to bulge, and when the fluid is allowed to flow through the orifice 72, a large displacement vibration appears. A damping force is generated. Conversely, in the process where the outer metal fitting 26 and the inner metal fitting 28 are largely displaced in the direction of separation, the volume of the pressure receiving chamber 58 increases, so that the fluid that once entered the equilibrium chamber 68 flows through the orifice 72 again. A damping force similar to the above is generated when flowing into the pressure receiving chamber 58 side, and as a result, low frequency vibrations due to large displacement are quickly suppressed, preventing excessive deformation of the rubber elastic body 30, etc., and improving its durability. It is possible to improve running stability by suppressing large bounces and rebounds of the unsprung parts of the wheels 16, etc.

The difference between the asopa sabot 1 and 74 in this embodiment from the ampaza boat 24 of the previous embodiment is that an air chamber 76 is defined on the opposite side of the equilibrium chamber 68 across the die 6 diaphragm rubber 62, and The point is that excessive deformation of 62 in the direction of expansion can be suppressed. That is, the opening of the annular recess 60 formed in the inner metal fitting 28 is closed by an enclosure 78 made of a rigid metal layer, and this enclosure 78 is provided at the outer and inner peripheries of the donut-shaped substrate 80, respectively. Vertically rising cylindrical portions 82 and 84 are provided, and these cylindrical portions 82 and 84
The diaphragm rubber 62 is press-fitted into the opening of the recess 60, while straddling both cylindrical parts 82, 84 of this enclosure 80, with a space between it and the substrate 80.
By vulcanization molding, the equilibrium chamber 68 and the air chamber 7 are formed on both sides of the diaphragm rubber 62.

The other parts have the same structure as the previous embodiment, so the explanation will be omitted.
74, it flows into the equilibrium chamber 68] 7 When the diaphragm rubber 62 is expanded and deformed by the flowing fluid, the air existing in the air chamber 76 is compressed and its pressure increases. This suppresses excessive deformation of the diaphragm rubber 62 in the direction of expansion. Therefore, the diaphragm rubber 62 can be made considerably thinner, and its durability can be increased.

Note that in the embodiments described so far, the orifice 7
By appropriately changing the hole diameter of the orifice 72 or increasing or decreasing the number of bushes 70 constituting the orifice 72, the damping force of the asopaza port can be optimally adjusted. It is also possible to increase the damping force by increasing the length. for example,
A long orifice pipe is arranged to extend in an arc shape along the cylindrical edge 48 of the flange portion 40, one end of which is press-fitted into the cylindrical edge 48 to open toward the pressure receiving chamber 58, and the other end is balanced. It is also possible to make the orifice 72 long by opening it toward the chamber 68, so there are 8 orifices. Conversely, it is also possible to form an orifice by simply drilling a hole in the flange portion without using such an orifice tube.
