However, in such a vibration isolator, both axial end portions of the intermediate sleeve are larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the tubular orifice member assembled to the axial central portion of the intermediate sleeve. Therefore, when the orifice member is assembled to the intermediate sleeve, it is practically impossible to extrapolate it from the axial end portion of the intermediate sleeve. Therefore, as described in the above publication, it is necessary to divide and form the orifice member so as to be half or less in the circumferential direction, and to assemble the plurality of divided bodies separately in the radial direction. Yes, the number of parts of the orifice member increases, assembly is troublesome, the structure becomes complicated,
There is a problem in that it is difficult to manufacture the intended vibration damping device.

The large diameter portion of the intermediate sleeve is formed only at one end portion in the axial direction, and the cylindrical orifice member is externally inserted from the other end portion of the small diameter axial portion where the large diameter portion is not formed. It may be possible to externally fit and fix the outer tubular metal fitting to the intermediate sleeve via the orifice member, but it is difficult to reduce the diameter of the orifice member. There is a problem that it is difficult to stably secure the sealability between the surfaces. Further, particularly when the intermediate sleeve is subjected to a diameter reducing process to apply precompression after vulcanization molding of the main rubber elastic body, it is difficult to obtain a high degree of accuracy in the outer diameter dimension and shape of the intermediate sleeve. There is a problem in that it is difficult to effectively exhibit the required fluid tightness and manufacturability.

In the fluid filled type vibration damping device having the structure according to the present embodiment, the large diameter portion of the intermediate sleeve fitted and fixed directly to the outer tubular member is provided only at one end portion in the axial direction. Since it is formed, the cylindrical orifice member can be externally attached to the intermediate sleeve from the other end portion in the axial direction where the large diameter portion is not formed, and therefore, the length of a half circumference or more can be provided in the circumferential direction. It is possible to assemble the tubular orifice member extending in the vertical direction without forming a divided structure, the number of parts is suppressed, the structure is simplified, and the manufacturing is facilitated.

In addition, at the inner peripheral surface of the tubular orifice member and the fitting surface of the intermediate sleeve, the seal ridges projectingly formed at the opening edge of the opening window are pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical orifice member. Good fluid tightness is exhibited by the presence of the fluid, leakage of incompressible fluid through such fitting surface,
Therefore, the problem such as a short circuit of the orifice passage resulting from this can be effectively suppressed.

The seal projection formed on the opening edge portion of the opening window of the intermediate sleeve has an opening edge of the opening window in consideration of the shape of the opening window, the shape of the fluid chamber, the tubular orifice member and the like. It can be provided at an appropriate position in the section with an appropriate circumferential length. Here, more preferably, even more excellent fluid tightness can be exhibited by forming the sealing ridge over substantially the entire length in the circumferential direction of the opening window in the intermediate sleeve. Further, the tubular orifice member may have a tubular shape that extends over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction, or may have a substantially C-shaped substantially tubular shape that does not fill one round in the circumferential direction. Further, the tubular orifice member may be formed with an axial length such that one end portion in the axial direction thereof reaches the axially intermediate portion of the opening window of the intermediate sleeve, or the opening window of the intermediate sleeve is arranged in the axial direction. It may be formed with an axial length extending across the intermediate sleeve to near the large diameter portion. In particular, one end of the tubular orifice member in the axial direction reaches only the axially intermediate portion of the opening window of the intermediate sleeve, and the tubular orifice member has only the other axial end of the intermediate sleeve and the outer tubular member. Even with a substantially cantilevered fixing structure in which the pressure is held between the seals, the seal ridge protruding outward in the radial direction is pressed against the tubular orifice member at the opening peripheral edge of the opening window of the intermediate sleeve. In addition, the outer cylindrical member is externally fitted and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical orifice member by reducing the diameter such as drawing, so that the sealing performance at the cantilever-fixed end of the cylindrical orifice member is also high. In addition, it can be stably exhibited.

In order to further improve the sealing effect of the enclosed incompressible fluid, for example, a seal rubber layer is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular member over substantially the entire surface, and this seal rubber layer is used as an outer layer. It is desirable that the cylindrical member and the cylindrical orifice member or the fitting surface of the intermediate sleeve be pressed against each other.

Furthermore, the orifice passage for connecting the plurality of fluid chambers to each other can be advantageously formed, for example, by covering a concave groove that opens to the outer peripheral surface of the tubular orifice member and extends with the outer tubular member. In that case, since the concave groove can be set to have an appropriate shape such as meandering or bending in the circumferential direction or the axial direction, a large degree of freedom in design regarding the length and cross-sectional area of the orifice passage is realized. It can be done.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device according to the first aspect, the outer tubular member has a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape, and the inner shaft member is the outer tubular member. Is arranged so as to enter the opening from the axial direction, and the opening end edge portion of the outer tubular member is externally fitted and fixed to the fitting tubular portion of the intermediate sleeve, and with respect to the bottom wall portion of the outer tubular member. While axially abutting the other end portion of the tubular orifice member in the axial direction to position and support the tubular orifice member, an incompressible fluid is provided between the main rubber elastic body and the facing surface of the bottom wall portion of the outer tubular member.

In the fluid filled type vibration damping device having the structure according to the present embodiment as described above, at the time of inputting the vibration in the direction perpendicular to the axis, the effective vibration damping is based on the fluid flow through the orifice passage between the plurality of fluid chambers. In addition to the effect being exerted, it becomes possible to effectively obtain the vibration damping effect based on the fluid flow through the second orifice passage between the fluid chamber and the axial end fluid chamber when the vibration in the axial direction is input. Further, in the fluid filled type vibration damping device of the present aspect, as described above, the short circuit of the second orifice passage due to the leakage between the fitting surfaces of the tubular orifice member and the intermediate sleeve causes the short circuit of the opening window of the intermediate sleeve. Since it is highly prevented by the sealing ridges protruding from the opening edge, the vibration isolation effect based on the flow action of the fluid flowing in the second orifice passage is effectively prevented without being obstructed by the passage short circuit. And it can be demonstrated stably. Furthermore, in this aspect, since the other axial end of the tubular orifice member is abutted and positioned by the bottom wall of the outer tubular member, the position of the assembled tubular orifice member is stabilized. As described above, the fluid tightness between the tubular orifice member and the outer tubular member and between the tubular orifice member and the intermediate sleeve can be more stably exhibited. The second orifice passage can be formed by using a tubular orifice member, and thus the second orifice passage can be advantageously realized with a small number of parts and a simple structure.

The movable rubber plate 148 has a disk shape with a predetermined thickness, and the outer peripheral edge portion is vulcanized and adhered to the peripheral edge portion of the through hole 56, whereby the through hole 56 is covered in a fluid-tight manner.
Under such an arrangement, the internal pressure and the atmospheric pressure of the axial end fluid chamber 144 are exerted on the upper surface and the lower surface of the movable rubber plate 148, and the axial vibration load is applied to input the axial load. When the pressure fluctuation is generated in the directional end fluid chamber 144, the movable rubber plate 148 is elastically deformed to absorb and reduce the pressure fluctuation of the axial end fluid chamber 144. The movable rubber plate 148
Since the elastic deformation amount is limited based on its own elasticity, the axial end fluid chamber 144 of the axial direction end fluid chamber 144 is input at the time of input of high-frequency small-amplitude vibration, similarly to the movable rubber plate (86) of the first embodiment. Although pressure fluctuations can be effectively absorbed and reduced, effective pressure fluctuations are generated in the axial end fluid chamber 144 when low-frequency large-amplitude vibrations are input.
