ELASTIC MOUNT
An elastic mount for absorbing static and dynamic loads includes an inner part, an outer part, and at least one elastomer mount that elastically connects the parts. The elastomer mount transfers from a first position to a second position when absorbing a static load acting in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the mount, and may have a first elastomer body, second elastomer body, and an intermediate element arranged between the two elastomer bodies. The intermediate element may have a first connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the first elastomer body is soft in shear in the Z-direction, and rigid in the X-direction and/or the Y-direction; and a second connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the second elastomer body is soft in shear in the X-direction and/or in the Y-direction and rigid in the Z-direction.
Engine mount for vehicle
An engine mount for a vehicle may include a support bracket including a mounting hole formed in one end portion thereof, an engine-mounting plate provided at an opposite end portion thereof to be connected to an engine, and a coupling portion protruding from an external surface of the one end portion thereof; a fluid-filled assembly including a hook cup configured to be inserted into the mounting hole in the support bracket; and a rubber assembly configured to be mounted to a vehicle body, wherein, in a state in which the fluid-filled assembly is inserted into the mounting hole in the support bracket, the fluid-filled assembly is stacked on a top surface of the rubber assembly, and a housing of the rubber assembly is coupled to the coupling portion of the support bracket.
MEMBRANE AND HYDRAULICALLY DAMPING MOUNT
A membrane for a hydraulically damping mount includes a first leg, a second leg and a base interconnecting the two legs. In embodiments, in an average thickness of one of the two legs is at least twice as thick as that of the other leg. A hydraulically damping mount with such a membrane is also disclosed.
ANTI-VIBRATION DEVICE
In the present invention, any two of a second liquid chamber (27), a third liquid chamber (28), and a fourth liquid chamber (29) communicate with each other through a first restricted passage (31) formed in an outer attachment member (11), an inner attachment member (12) or a partition member (15), and the remaining one liquid chamber communicates with a fifth liquid chamber (32) formed in the outer attachment member (11), the inner attachment member (12) or the partition member (15), the remaining one liquid chamber is divided in a circumferential direction, and each of the liquid chambers divided in the circumferential direction and the fifth liquid chamber (32) separately communicate with each other through a second restricted passage (33) formed in the outer attachment member (11), the inner attachment member (12) or the partition member (15).
MOUNT ASSEMBLY WITH ELECTRO-HYDRO-PNEUMATIC SWITCHABLE DISPLACEMENT ELEMENTS
A system and method using a mount assembly for attaching a powertrain to a structural member of a vehicle. The mount assembly includes a first compliant member, a second compliant member, a first fluid chamber, a second fluid chamber, a third fluid chamber, a pressure compliant membrane, and a valve. A fluid conduit interconnects the first fluid chamber with the second fluid chamber to allow a fluid to pass from the first fluid chamber to the second fluid chamber. The third fluid chamber has an opening in communication with the second fluid chamber and a vent port. The pressure compliant membrane seals the opening between the second fluid chamber and the third fluid chamber. The valve selectively seals the vent port in the third fluid chamber. A first stiffness profile of the mount assembly is selected by actuating the valve to open the vent port. A second stiffness profile of the mount assembly is selected by actuating the valve to close the vent port.
ENGINE MOUNT FOR VEHICLE
An engine mount for a vehicle may include a support bracket including a mounting hole formed in one end portion thereof, an engine-mounting plate provided at an opposite end portion thereof to be connected to an engine, and a coupling portion protruding from an external surface of the one end portion thereof; a fluid-filled assembly including a hook cup configured to be inserted into the mounting hole in the support bracket; and a rubber assembly configured to be mounted to a vehicle body, wherein, in a state in which the fluid-filled assembly is inserted into the mounting hole in the support bracket, the fluid-filled assembly is stacked on a top surface of the rubber assembly, and a housing of the rubber assembly is coupled to the coupling portion of the support bracket.
FLUID-FILLED TUBULAR VIBRATION-DAMPING DEVICE
A fluid-filled tubular vibration-damping device including: an inner shaft member; an intermediate tube member spaced radially outward therefrom; a main rubber elastic body connecting the two members; an outer tube member fastened externally onto the intermediate tube member; a pair of fluid chambers formed between the inner shaft member and the outer tube member so as to be on opposite sides of the inner shaft member; and an orifice passage interconnecting the fluid chambers. In at least one of the fluid chambers, at least one of side walls positioned on axially opposite sides includes a thick central connector positioned in a circumferentially central portion of the side wall and extending in an axis-perpendicular direction, and thin flexible walls that are thinner than the central connector while being positioned and spreading on circumferentially opposite sides of the side wall.
Hydroelastic bearing
A hydroelastic bearing is provided. The hydroelastic bearing includes a spring function member and an outer sleeve coupled to the spring function member, wherein the spring function member includes an inner mounting connection and at least two working chambers which are filled with a damping fluid and which are connected via at least one damping channel, so that the damping fluid flows from one of the working chambers at least partly to the other via the at least one damping channel upon displacement of the inner mounting connection with respect to the outer sleeve, wherein the working chambers are further connected via at least one decoupling channel, wherein a decoupling element is arranged in a flow path of the decoupling channel, and wherein the decoupling channel and the decoupling element are at least partly arranged in a decoupling recess in the outer sleeve provided therefor.
