VIBRATION DAMPING DEVICE
A restricted passageway (24) is provided with a first communication part (26) which is formed in a first barrier wall (34) facing a first liquid chamber and opens to the first liquid chamber, a second communication part (27) which is formed in a second barrier wall (35) facing a second liquid chamber and opens to the second liquid chamber, and a main body flow path (25) that is configured to cause the first communication part (26) and the second communication part (27) to communicate with each other. At least one of the first communication part (26) and the second communication part (27) includes a plurality of fine holes (26a) that pass through the first barrier wall (34) or the second barrier wall (35). A vortex chamber (29) is disposed in a connection portion with at least one of the first communication part (26) and the second communication part (27) on the main body flow path (25), figured to form the swirling flow of a liquid depending on a flow velocity of the liquid from the other of the first communication part (26) and the second communication part (27), and is configured to cause the liquid to flow out through the fine holes (26a).
FLUID MOUNT HAVING CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE CHARACTERISTICS FOR IMPROVING DRIVING PERFORMANCE
A fluid mount is provided having continuously variable characteristics for improving driving performance in which an automatic fluid opening and closing unit is installed between upper and lower fluid chambers. The fluid mount includes a core having a central bolt, engaged with an engine, inserted into a central portion of the core, and a rubber member formed on an outer circumferential surface of the core. The core and the rubber member are disposed in a bracket housing. The upper and lower fluid chambers and the automatic fluid opening and closing unit are installed between the upper and lower fluid chambers to continuously open and close a flow path through current change.
EXPANDABLE ENERGY ABSORBING FLUID BLADDER SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Various techniques are provided for an expandable energy absorbing fluid bladder. In one example, the fluid bladder includes a primary portion and a secondary portion. The secondary portion can be configured to expand or increase in volume when the fluid bladder is subjected to a pulse greater than a threshold pulse. Expansion of the secondary portion can allow fluid or additional fluid to flow into the secondary portion and thus decrease a peak pulse and, thus, avoid rupture of the fluid bladder.
