Abstract

An engine mount is provided that includes a nozzle plate that is mounted between an insulator and a diaphragm to divide the interior into upper and lower fluid chambers to enable the flow of hydraulic fluid between the chambers through a first flow path formed in the nozzle plate according to variation in the volume of the interior. The nozzle plate includes a second flow path and a division cup that has an upwardly protruding portion to push the diaphragm to divide the lower fluid chamber into a main fluid chamber communicating with the flow path and an auxiliary fluid chamber communicating with the second flow path. A partition is formed inside the protruding portion to form a chamber below the auxiliary fluid chamber, and an introduction/discharge aperture is formed in the partition to enable introduction or discharge of air into or from the chamber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine mount, comprising:
a nozzle plate mounted between an insulator and a diaphragm to divide an interior of the engine mount into an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber to allow filled hydraulic fluid to flow between the upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber through a first flow path formed in the nozzle plate based on variation in the volume of the interior, wherein the nozzle plate includes a second flow path, an upper end of which communicates with the upper fluid chamber; and
a division cup that includes an upwardly protruding portion configured to push the diaphragm from a lower side thereof to divide the lower fluid chamber into a main fluid chamber, which communicates with the first flow path, and an auxiliary fluid chamber, which communicates with the second flow path,
wherein a partition is formed inside the protruding portion to form an air chamber below the auxiliary fluid chamber, and an introduction/discharge aperture is formed in the partition to allow air to be introduced into or discharged from the air chamber,
wherein an inner circumferential surface of the protruding portion is coupled to a side surface of the auxiliary fluid chamber and is coupled to a portion of the diaphragm in which a plate is fixed,
wherein the introduction/discharge aperture has a tapered upper end, a diameter of which increases in an upward direction or wherein a lower end of the introduction/discharge aperture is shaped to have a diameter that decreases in a downward direction,
wherein the auxiliary fluid chamber has an upwardly convex bottom,
wherein the division cup is fixed to a lower end of a case, which is coupled to an exterior of the diaphragm and the insulator, and
wherein the auxiliary fluid chamber is below the nozzle plate.

2. The engine mount according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle plate includes an expanded portion having a pipe shape, and the expanded portion extends downward from the nozzle plate to expand a length of the second flow path.

3. The engine mount according to claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm is shaped to have a plurality of pleats, and the protruding portion is configured to push the diaphragm to cause any one of the pleats to abut a bottom of the nozzle plate.
