Description

  The present invention relates to a fluid-filled vibration isolator that prevents transmission of vibration from a member that generates vibration, and more particularly, to a vibration isolator that is suitably used for an engine mount of an automobile.

  For example, in a vehicle such as a passenger car, a vibration isolator as an engine mount is disposed between an engine serving as a vibration generating unit and a vehicle body serving as a vibration receiving unit, and the vibration isolating device generates vibration generated from the engine. It is structured to absorb and prevent transmission to the vehicle body side. This type of vibration isolator is provided with a main liquid chamber and a sub liquid chamber, and a plurality of orifices communicating with each of these liquid chambers in order to cope with vibrations in a wide range of frequencies. Among the plurality of orifices, one that selectively opens and closes the plurality of orifices by a valve mechanism driven by an electromagnetic solenoid or the like so that the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber communicate with each other by one orifice is known. ing.

  In other words, this vibration isolator requires not only an electric electromagnetic solenoid for controlling the opening / closing state of the orifice and switching the liquid passage between the plurality of orifices, but also the electromagnetic solenoid etc. A controller that operates based on the frequency or the like and switches the orifice is structurally necessary. However, these electromagnetic solenoids and controllers are relatively expensive, and these components significantly complicate the structure of the vibration isolator and make the installation work on the vehicle complicated. It was.

In view of the above problems, the inventors of the present application disclosed in Patent Document 1 that the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber are communicated with each other by a shake orifice and an idle orifice, and form a part of the idle orifice. The plunger member arranged in the cylinder space communicating with the sub liquid chamber moves to the closed position where the idle orifice is closed by the hydraulic pressure of the main liquid chamber when the shake vibration is input, and the plunger member is moved to the coil spring when the idle vibration is input. An anti-vibration device is disclosed in which the idle orifice is moved to an open position where the idle orifice is opened.

  However, in the vibration isolator described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to arrange the coil spring in a compressed state as a biasing member that biases the plunger member to the open position inside the cylinder chamber. For this reason, in the vibration isolator as in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to provide a seat receiving portion that engages with the coiled portion of the coil spring on the inner wall portion on the side of the secondary liquid chamber and the plunger member in the cylinder chamber.

  Therefore, in the vibration isolator as in Patent Document 1, a coil spring is required, and since it is necessary to provide seat receiving portions on the inner wall portion and the plunger member on the side of the secondary liquid chamber, the shape of the component parts of the device is It becomes complicated. Also, when assembling the device, a plunger member is inserted into the cylinder chamber, a coil spring is interposed between the inner wall of the cylinder chamber and the plunger member, and the end surface (opening end) on the main liquid chamber side of the cylinder chamber is the lid member. The coil spring must be held in a compressed state between the pair of seat receiving parts until it is closed by, for example, the problem that the assembly work (assembly work) of the apparatus becomes complicated.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a vibration isolator capable of simplifying the structure and assembly work of the apparatus in consideration of the above facts.

In order to achieve the above object, a vibration isolator according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a first attachment member connected to one of the vibration generating portion and the vibration receiving portion, and the other of the vibration generating portion and the vibration receiving portion. A second mounting member coupled to the first mounting member, an elastic body disposed between the first mounting member and the second mounting member, and a liquid sealed with the elastic body as a part of a partition, A main liquid chamber whose internal volume changes with elastic deformation of the elastic body, a secondary liquid chamber in which liquid is enclosed and whose internal volume can be expanded and contracted, and a main liquid chamber and a secondary liquid chamber that communicate with each other.

A partition member provided between the chamber and the inner wall of the main liquid chamber and a part of the inner wall of the sub liquid chamber, A cylinder chamber that is provided in the partition member and filled with a liquid, and an orifice space that forms part of the second restriction passage and communicates with the sub liquid chamber and the second restriction passage in the cylinder chamber. A hydraulic pressure space that is isolated from the plunger space, and is movable between a predetermined open position and a closed position along the expansion / contraction direction of the orifice space and the hydraulic pressure space, and a plunger member, The orifice space in the second restriction passage communicates with the other part, and is opened when the plunger member is in the open position, and closed when the plunger member moves to the closed position. The orifice is disposed between the main liquid chamber and the hydraulic pressure space, and the liquid flows only from the main liquid chamber to the hydraulic pressure space as the hydraulic pressure changes in the main liquid chamber. And a biasing means for biasing the plunger member toward the open position for reducing the hydraulic pressure space. The biasing means is provided on the plunger member and the partition member, respectively. A connected elastic rubber connection body, and a load exceeding the deformation resistance of the elastic connection body acts on the plunger member by the hydraulic action of the hydraulic space, and the elastic connection body is elastic along the expansion / contraction direction. When the plunger member is deformed and moves from the open position to the closed position side, the elastic coupling body urges the plunger member toward the open position side by a restoring force, and is provided in the partition member. The columnar inner peripheral connecting part extending in the expansion / contraction direction and the outer peripheral connection part provided in the central part of the plunger member and penetrating in the expansion / contraction direction are further provided, and the elastic connection body is annular The inner peripheral part of the elastic connecting body is fixed to the outer peripheral side of the inner peripheral connecting part over the entire circumference, and the outer peripheral part of the elastic connecting body is connected to the inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral connecting part. It is characterized by being fixed over the entire area .

  The operation of the vibration isolator according to claim 1 of the present invention will be described below.

  In the vibration isolator of claim 1, basically, when vibration is transmitted to one of the first and second mounting members, the elastic body disposed between the first and second mounting members is elastic. The vibration is absorbed by the vibration absorbing action based on the internal friction or the like of the elastic body, and the vibration transmitted to the vibration receiving portion side is reduced.

  In the vibration isolator according to the first aspect, the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber communicate with each other through the first restriction passage, and the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber are in the first state when the orifice opening is open. The two restriction passages having a liquid flow resistance smaller than that of the first restriction passage communicate with each other.

  Furthermore, in the vibration isolator according to claim 1, when the plunger member located at the open position moves to the closed position by the hydraulic pressure supplied from the main fluid chamber into the hydraulic pressure space through the check valve, the elasticity of the elastic body is increased. Along with the deformation, the liquid goes back and forth between the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber only through the first restriction passage, and the plunger member located at the closed position releases the restoring force of the biasing means as the biasing force. When returning to the position, both the first restriction passage and the second restriction passage are opened, but the second restriction passage has a relatively small flow resistance of the liquid due to the elastic deformation of the elastic body. The liquid goes back and forth between the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber preferentially.

  That is, in the vibration isolator according to claim 1, when vibration with relatively low frequency and large amplitude (hereinafter referred to as “low frequency vibration”) is input, the elastic body is caused by the low frequency vibration. Due to elastic deformation, a relatively large fluid pressure change occurs in the main fluid chamber, and when the fluid pressure periodically changes in the main fluid chamber, the liquid flows from the main fluid chamber into the fluid pressure space through the check valve, or the fluid pressure The liquid flows out from the space into the main liquid chamber, and the liquid pressure in the hydraulic pressure space rises to an equilibrium pressure that is substantially balanced with the liquid pressure (maximum value or minimum value) in the main liquid chamber. At this time, if the magnitude of the elastic restoring force (biasing force) applied to the plunger member by the biasing means is set smaller than the value corresponding to the equilibrium pressure in the hydraulic pressure space, the plunger member is biased. It moves intermittently from the open position to the closed position against the urging force of the means, and is held at the closed position by the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure space.

  At this time, if the flow resistance of the liquid in the first restriction passage is set (tuned) so as to correspond to the frequency and amplitude of the low-frequency vibration, the main liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid pass through the first restriction passage. Since a resonance phenomenon (liquid column resonance) occurs in the liquid flowing back and forth between the chambers, low-frequency vibrations can be particularly effectively absorbed by the action of the liquid column resonance.

  In the vibration isolator according to claim 1, when vibration with relatively high frequency and small amplitude (hereinafter referred to as “high frequency range vibration”) is input, the elastic body is elastically deformed by the high frequency range vibration. At the same time, since a relatively small change in hydraulic pressure occurs in the main liquid chamber, in this case as well, liquid flows from the main liquid chamber into the hydraulic pressure space through the check valve when the hydraulic pressure changes periodically in the main liquid chamber. Alternatively, the liquid flows out from the hydraulic pressure space to the main liquid chamber, and reaches an equilibrium pressure at which the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure space substantially equilibrates with the hydraulic pressure (maximum value or minimum value) in the main liquid chamber. At this time, if the magnitude of the biasing force applied to the plunger member by the biasing means is set to be larger than the value corresponding to the equilibrium pressure in the hydraulic pressure space, the biasing means is in the open position. The urging force is held in the open position, and when it is in the closed position, it is moved (returned) from the closed position to the open position by the urging force of the urging means.

  Therefore, in the vibration isolator according to the first aspect, when the high frequency vibration is input, the second restricting passage having a smaller liquid flow resistance than the first restricting passage is given priority with the elastic deformation of the elastic body. Since the liquid goes back and forth between the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber, the input vibration (high frequency vibration) can be absorbed, so the high frequency vibration transmitted from the vibration generating part to the vibration receiving part is effective. Can be reduced.

  At this time, if the flow resistance of the liquid in the second restriction passage is set (tuned) so as to correspond to the frequency and amplitude of the high-frequency vibration, the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber pass through the second restriction passage. Since a resonance phenomenon (liquid column resonance) occurs in the liquid flowing back and forth, the high frequency region vibration can be particularly effectively absorbed by the action of the liquid column resonance.

  As a result, according to the vibration isolator according to claim 1, it is possible to respond to a change in the frequency of the input vibration without using a valve mechanism that operates in response to external control and power supply such as an electromagnetic solenoid or a pneumatic solenoid. The restriction passage communicating the main liquid chamber and the sub liquid chamber can be switched to one of the first restriction passage and the second restriction passage using the change in the liquid pressure in the main liquid chamber as a driving force.

  Further, in the vibration isolator according to claim 1, the urging means includes a rubber elastic coupling body connected to the plunger member and the partition member, respectively, and when this elastic coupling body moves to the closed position side, When the plunger member moves from the open position to the closed position side by urging the plunger member to the open position side by its restoring force while elastically deforming along the expansion / contraction direction, elastic deformation occurs along the expansion / contraction direction. The plunger member can be biased toward the open position by using the restoring force of the elastic coupling body as the biasing force.

  Therefore, in the vibration isolator according to the first aspect of the present invention, the elastic coupling body can be assembled to the apparatus only by coupling the rubber elastic coupling body to the plunger member and the partition member. Therefore, compared to the case where a coil spring is used, a seat receiving portion for holding the coil spring in a predetermined posture in the apparatus is not necessary, and the work for assembling the urging member inside the apparatus such as the cylinder chamber is simplified. Therefore, the shape and structure of the component parts of the apparatus can be simplified, and the assembly work (assembly work) of the apparatus can be simplified.

Features.

  The valve body 106 is formed in a slope shape in which the lower surface side is flat and the upper surface side is slightly inclined upward from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side, and the thickness along the axial direction is the inner peripheral surface. It gradually becomes thinner from the side toward the outer periphery. Further, the valve body 106 is formed with a circular convex protrusion 108 at the center of the upper surface and a circular convex protrusion 110 at the center of the lower surface. The valve body 106 has the projection 108 on the upper surface side inserted into the insertion hole 102 of the holder member 92 and the projection 110 on the lower surface side inserted into the insertion hole 88 of the lower orifice member 46. . Thereby, the valve body 106 is positioned coaxially with the holder member 92 and the lower orifice member 46, and is restrained from moving in the radial direction.

  The valve body 106 is compressed along the axial direction between the top plate portion 94 of the holder member 92 and the top plate portion 82 of the lower orifice member 46 in the vicinity of the peripheral portions of the protrusions 108 and 110. As a result, the lower surface portion of the valve body 106 is brought into pressure contact with the top plate portion 82 of the lower orifice member 46 with a predetermined pressure (pre-pressure), and between the holder member 92 and the lower orifice member 46 in the axial direction. Movement is restrained. As indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the valve body 106 is configured such that a portion on the outer peripheral side in an uncompressed state can be bent and deformed upward.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the valve body 106 has its outer peripheral end positioned radially outside the outer peripheral end of the valve seat opening 90 in the lower orifice member 46 along the radial direction, and the communication opening 95 of the holder member 92. It is located in the inner peripheral side rather than the outer peripheral end. As a result, the valve body 106 closes the valve seat opening 90 in a state where the lower surface portion thereof is pressed against the top plate portion 82 (closed state), and the outer peripheral side is downward as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The valve seat opening 90 is in communication with the communication opening 95 via the valve body storage chamber 104 and the main liquid chamber 36 is in the valve body storage chamber. Communicating into the hydraulic space 112 of the cylinder chamber 60 through 104. That is, the valve body 106, the holder member 92, and the lower orifice member 46 housed in the valve body housing chamber 104 constitute a check valve 116 (see FIG. 5) between the main liquid chamber 36 and the cylinder chamber 60. The check valve 116 allows the liquid to flow only from the main liquid chamber 36 into the cylinder chamber 60 (hydraulic pressure space 112), but the liquid flows out from the hydraulic pressure space 112 into the main liquid chamber 36. To prevent.

  In the vibration isolator 10, when the holder member 92 and the lower orifice member 46 are fitted on the inner peripheral side of the upper orifice member 44, the upper orifice member 44 causes the lower end surface of the boss portion 132 to be above the protrusion 108 of the valve body 106. While being brought into contact with the end face, the connection support portion 134 is inserted into the inner peripheral side of the fixed cylinder 142 of the biasing member 140. As a result, the fixed cylinder 142 is sandwiched between the step portion formed between the connection support portion 134 and the base end side of the boss portion 132 and the upper surface portion of the top plate portion 94, and is Fixed. At this time, the elastic coupling body 144 is sandwiched between the boss portion 132 and the top plate portion 94 of the holder member 92, so that the fixed cylinder 142 is a predetermined amount (preliminary deformation amount) from the initial position shown in FIG. It moves relative to the connecting cylinder part 136 downward, and is deformed into a reverse taper shape that inclines in a direction (upward) away from the valve body 106 from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side with respect to the neutral shape. Thereby, the elastic coupling body 144 is given elastic deformation (preliminary deformation) such that the inner peripheral side is displaced downward relative to the outer peripheral side along the axial direction.

  The elastic coupling body 144 generates an elastic restoring force corresponding to the deformation amount (preliminary deformation amount) when the above-described preliminary deformation is applied, and this restoring force is the top plate portion of the plunger member 78. 80 is brought into pressure contact with the top plate portion 94 of the holder member 92 to act as a holding force for holding the plunger member 78 in the open position. Accordingly, the plunger member 78 is stably held at the open position by the holding force from the elastic coupling body 144 even when idle vibration or instantaneously large amplitude vibration (impact) is input.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the orifice space 114 of the cylinder chamber 60 always communicates with the secondary liquid chamber 38 through the plurality of flow openings 48 of the upper orifice member 44. Further, in the vibration isolator 10, the lower orifice passage 64, the common orifice portion 70, and the orifice space 114 communicating with the common orifice portion 70 through the orifice opening 76 are idles that are vibrations in a high frequency range relative to the shake vibration. An idle orifice 120 is formed as a second restriction passage corresponding to vibration (for example, 18 to 30 Hz). The idle orifice 120 is set (tuned) so that its path length and cross-sectional area, that is, the flow resistance of the liquid corresponds to idle vibration. Here, the flow resistance of the liquid in the idle orifice 120 is smaller than the flow resistance of the liquid in the shake orifice 118. The opening area of the orifice opening 76 is larger than the cross-sectional areas of the common orifice portion 70 and the lower orifice passage 64.

  In the vibration isolator 10, when a load toward the open position that exceeds the deformation resistance (= restoring force) of the elastic coupling body 144 along the axial direction acts on the plunger member 78 for a certain period of time, as shown in FIG. Then, the plunger member 78 moves (rises) to the closed position, the orifice opening 76 of the upper orifice member 44 is closed by the outer peripheral surface of the plunger member 78, and the common orifice portion 70 is not in communication with the orifice space 114. As a result, the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 communicate with each other only through the shake orifice 118.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer peripheral surface of the plunger member 78 overlaps the upper and lower regions with respect to the orifice opening 76 on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder chamber 60. At this time, the overlap amount between the outer peripheral surface of the plunger member 78 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder chamber 60 is set to OL _U and OL _A , respectively. The overlap amounts OL _U and OL _A are, for example, It is set to about 2.5 to 3.0 mm.

  In the state where the plunger member 78 is in the closed position as described above, the main liquid chamber is overlapped with the outer peripheral surface of the plunger member 78 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder chamber 60 along the axial direction, as will be described later. Even if the plunger member 78 vibrates along the axial direction in accordance with the change in the hydraulic pressure in the inner fluid 36, the orifice opening 76 can be reliably maintained in the closed state by the plunger member 78.

  In the vibration isolator 10, as shown in FIG. 1, when the plunger member 78 moves (lowers) to the open position by the elastic restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144, the plunger member 78 moves away from the orifice opening 76. The opening 76 is opened, and the common orifice portion 70 communicates with the inside of the lower orifice passage 64. At this time, the plunger member 78 is inserted into the gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the holder member 92 and the cylinder chamber 60 at the peripheral wall portion. Thereby, the movable range (stroke) required for the plunger member 78 in the cylinder chamber 60 is ensured, and the dimension along the axial direction of the cylinder chamber 60 is made small.

  When the plunger member 78 moves to the open position, the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 communicate with each other through both the shake orifice 118 and the idle orifice 120, but the liquid pressure in the main liquid chamber 36 has changed. In this case, when the liquid flowing into the common orifice part 70 through the lower orifice passage 64 and the intermediate connection hole 74 reaches the vicinity of the boundary with the dedicated orifice part 68, the flow resistance of the liquid is smaller than that of the dedicated orifice part 68. The common orifice portion that preferentially flows into the orifice space 114 through the orifice opening 76 and also flows into the common orifice portion 70 through the orifice opening 76 has a smaller liquid flow resistance than the dedicated orifice portion 68. 70 and the lower orifice passage 64 are preferentially passed into the main liquid chamber 36. Thereby, in the vibration isolator 10, when the plunger member 78 is in the open position, the liquid flows between the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 through substantially only the idle orifice 120.

  Further, the hydraulic pressure release path 126 of the plunger member 78 allows the liquid in the hydraulic pressure space 112 closed from the outside to flow into the orifice space 114 when the plunger member 78 moves to the open position side by the restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144. The plunger member 78 can be moved to the open position side by preventing the fluid pressure in the fluid pressure space 112 from rising.

(Operation of the embodiment)
Next, the operation of the vibration isolator 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the vibration isolator 10, for example, when an engine in a vehicle is operated, vibration generated by the engine is transmitted to the rubber elastic body 26 via the mounting bracket 30, and the rubber elastic body 26 is elastically deformed. At this time, the rubber elastic body 26 acts as a main vibration absorber, and the vibration is absorbed by the vibration absorbing action based on the internal friction of the rubber elastic body 26 and the vibration transmitted to the vehicle body via the outer cylinders 12 and 14 is reduced. The In vehicles such as automobiles, the engine generates idle vibrations that are relatively high-frequency vibrations during idling, and the engine generates shake vibrations that are relatively low-frequency vibrations when traveling at a predetermined speed or higher. appear.

  In the vibration isolator 10, a part of the shake orifice 118 on the main liquid chamber 36 side is a common orifice part 70 that forms a part of the idle orifice 120, and a boundary between the common orifice part 70 and the dedicated orifice part 68. Since the orifice opening 76 communicating with the orifice space 114 of the cylinder chamber 60 is formed in the vicinity of the portion, the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 communicate with each other by the shake orifice 118 and the orifice opening 76 is opened. In this case, the idle orifices 120 communicate with each other.

  Further, in the vibration isolator 10, when the plunger member 78 moves from the open position to the closed position against the elastic restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144 by the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic space 112 of the cylinder chamber 60, the orifice opening 76 is closed and the orifice opening 76 is opened when the elastic coupling body 144 returns to the open position from the closed position by the elastic restoring force. Therefore, when the shake vibration is input, the plunger member 78 in the open position is closed. As the rubber elastic body 26 is elastically deformed, the liquid passes back and forth between the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 only through the shake orifice 118, and when the idle vibration is input, the liquid is moved to the closed position. When the plunger member 78 is returned to the open position, both the shake orifice 118 and the idle orifice 120 are opened. With the elastic deformation of the rubber elastic body, the back and forth of liquid between the flow resistance of the liquid is relatively small idle orifice 120 and preferentially through the main liquid chamber 36 and the auxiliary liquid chamber 38.

  That is, in the vibration isolator 10, when a shake vibration having a relatively low frequency and a large amplitude is input, the rubber elastic body 26 is elastically deformed by the shake vibration, and a relatively large liquid is contained in the main liquid chamber 36. As the pressure changes, the liquid flows from the main fluid chamber 36 into the hydraulic space 112 through the check valve 116 when the hydraulic pressure in the main fluid chamber 36 periodically increases, and the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic space 112 is also main. The pressure rises to an equilibrium pressure that is substantially in equilibrium with the fluid pressure at the time of ascent in the liquid chamber 36.

  Here, in the vibration isolator 10, the elastic restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144 is set to be smaller than the value corresponding to the hydraulic pressure (equilibrium pressure) in the hydraulic pressure space 112 when the shake vibration is input, Thus, when a shake vibration is input, the plunger member 78 moves intermittently from the open position to the closed position side against the restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144 and is held at the closed position by the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure space 112. Is done.

  Accordingly, in the vibration isolator 10, when shake vibration is input, the liquid moves back and forth between the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 only through the shake orifice 118 in accordance with the elastic deformation of the rubber elastic body 26. Since vibration (low frequency range vibration) can be absorbed, shake vibration transmitted from the engine side to the vehicle body side can be reduced.

  At this time, since the flow resistance of the liquid in the shake orifice 118 is set (tuned) so as to correspond to the frequency and amplitude of the shake vibration, the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 pass through the shake orifice 118. A resonance phenomenon (liquid column resonance) occurs in the liquid flowing back and forth, and shake vibration can be absorbed particularly effectively by the action of the liquid column resonance.

  In the vibration isolator 10, when idle vibration having a relatively high frequency and a small amplitude is input, the rubber elastic body 26 is elastically deformed by the idle vibration and a relatively small liquid is contained in the main liquid chamber 36. Since a pressure change occurs, in this case as well, liquid flows from the main fluid chamber 36 into the hydraulic pressure space 112 through the check valve 116 when the hydraulic pressure in the main fluid chamber 36 periodically increases, and the hydraulic pressure space 112. The fluid pressure in the interior rises to reach an equilibrium pressure that is substantially in equilibrium with the fluid pressure (maximum value) at the time of ascent in the main fluid chamber 36.

  However, in the vibration isolator 10, the elastic restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144 is set to be larger than the value corresponding to the equilibrium pressure in the hydraulic pressure space 112 when the idle vibration is input. When the member 78 is in the open position, it is held in the open position by the restoring force of the elastic connecting body 144, and when it is in the closed position, it is moved (returned) from the closed position to the open position by the restoring force of the elastic connecting body 144. To do.

  When the plunger member 78 moves to the open position side, the hydraulic pressure release path 126 formed in the plunger member 78 causes the liquid in the hydraulic pressure space 112 closed from the outside to flow into the orifice space 114. Therefore, the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure space 112 is prevented from increasing, and the plunger member 78 can be moved smoothly toward the open position with a low movement resistance.

  Accordingly, in the vibration isolator 10, when the idle vibration is input, the main liquid chamber 36 is preferentially passed through the idle orifice 120 having a small liquid flow resistance with respect to the shake orifice 118 in accordance with the elastic deformation of the rubber elastic body 26. Since the liquid goes back and forth between the secondary liquid chamber 38 and the auxiliary liquid chamber 38, the input vibration (idle vibration) can be absorbed by the viscous resistance, pressure loss, etc. of the liquid flowing through the idle orifice 120. Can reduce idle vibration.

  At this time, since the flow resistance of the liquid in the idle orifice 120 is set (tuned) so as to correspond to the frequency and amplitude of the idle vibration, the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 pass through the idle orifice 120. A resonance phenomenon (liquid column resonance) occurs in the liquid flowing back and forth, and idle vibration can be absorbed particularly effectively by the action of the liquid column resonance.

  As a result, according to the vibration isolator 10, the main liquid chamber 36 and the sub liquid chamber 38 are communicated with each other without using a valve mechanism that operates in response to external control and power supply such as an electromagnetic solenoid or a pneumatic solenoid. The orifice to be switched can be switched to either the shake orifice 118 or the idle orifice 120 as a driving force in accordance with the frequency of the input vibration.

  Further, in the vibration isolator 10, when the plunger member 78 is in the open position, the rubber elastic connector 144 holds the plunger member 78 in the open position by a holding force corresponding to the preliminarily applied deformation amount. When the member 78 moves from the open position to the closed position side, the elastic coupling body 144 is elastically deformed toward the closed position side along the axial direction, and by urging the plunger member 78 to the open position side by its restoring force, When the plunger member 78 moves from the open position to the closed position side, the plunger member 78 can be biased to the open position side by the restoring force of the elastic coupling body 144.

  Therefore, in the vibration isolator 10 according to the present embodiment, the rubber elastic connecting body 144 is fixed to the connecting cylinder portion 136 and the fixed cylinder 142 of the plunger member 78 by vulcanization adhesion in advance, and the holder member 92 and the lower orifice are fixed. Since the elastic coupling body 144 can be assembled to the apparatus simply by inserting the member 46 into the inner peripheral side of the upper orifice member 44, compared with the case where a coil spring is used to bias the plunger member 78, Since a seat receiving portion or the like for holding the coil spring in a predetermined posture in the apparatus is not necessary, the work of assembling the elastic coupling body 144 as a biasing member inside the apparatus such as the cylinder chamber 60 can be simplified. The shape and structure of the component parts of the apparatus can be simplified, and the assembly work (assembly work) of the apparatus is also simplified.

  In the vibration isolator 10 according to the present embodiment, the common orifice part 70 is provided on the side of the main liquid chamber 36 in the outer peripheral groove 66 of the upper orifice member 44, and the common orifice part 68 is provided on the side of the sub liquid chamber 38. 70 is shared by the shake orifice 118 and the idle orifice 120, but the upper orifice member 44 is formed with another groove portion separated from the outer circumferential groove 66 forming the shake orifice 118, and this another groove portion is formed on the idle orifice 120. It may be a part.

  In the vibration isolator 10, one of the two orifices (the first restriction passage and the second restriction passage) is a shake orifice 118 corresponding to shake vibration, and the other is an idle orifice 120 corresponding to idle vibration. The two first restricting passages and the second restricting passage need not necessarily correspond to shake vibration and idle vibration, and the first restricting passage corresponds to vibration in a relatively low frequency range. It suffices if the two restriction paths correspond to vibrations in a relatively high frequency range.

  Further, in the vibration isolator 10, the mounting bracket 30 is connected to the engine side, and the outer cylinders 12 and 14 are connected to the vehicle body side. On the contrary, the mounting bracket 30 is connected to the vehicle body side. In addition, the outer cylinders 12 and 14 may be connected to the engine side.

  Further, in the vibration isolator 10 according to the present embodiment, liquid is supplied from the main fluid chamber 36 into the hydraulic space 112 through the check valve 116 when the hydraulic pressure in the main fluid chamber 36 increases, The hydraulic pressure is increased to an equilibrium pressure corresponding to the upper limit value of the hydraulic pressure in the main fluid chamber 36, and the plunger member 78 is moved from the open position to the closed position by the hydraulic pressure (positive pressure) in the hydraulic pressure space 112 when a shake vibration is input. However, on the contrary, the check valve is configured so that the liquid can flow only from the hydraulic pressure space 112 to the main fluid chamber 36, and this check valve is reduced when the hydraulic pressure in the main fluid chamber 36 is reduced. By causing the liquid to flow out from the hydraulic pressure space 112 into the main fluid chamber 36 through the valve, the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic pressure space 112 is reduced to an equilibrium pressure corresponding to the lower limit value of the hydraulic pressure in the main fluid chamber 36, and shake vibration is generated. At the time of input, the plunger portion is driven by the hydraulic pressure (negative pressure) in the hydraulic pressure space 112. 78 may be so moved from the open position to the closed position.
