Abstract

A dual mode tuning dynamic damper may include a hollow main bridge extending in an axial direction of a damper housing in a position exterior to a damper mass filled in the damper housing and forming a dual concentric circle with the damper housing, and an auxiliary bridge disposed at a connection section of the dual concentric circle for side portions of the damper mass to be supported by the main bridge.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dual mode tuning dynamic damper, comprising:
a hollow main bridge extending in an axial direction of a damper housing in a position exterior to a damper mass filled in the damper housing and forming a dual concentric circle with the damper housing; and
an auxiliary bridge disposed at a connection section of the dual concentric circle for side portions of the damper mass to be supported by the hollow main bridge,
wherein the auxiliary bridge is formed at the connection section in plurality.

2. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein a bridge flange is formed at the connection section; and
the bridge flange is connected to the hollow main bridge in the damper housing to form the auxiliary bridge.

3. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 2 , wherein the bridge flange forms a round section of a gentle curved surface.

4. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the auxiliary bridge is less than that of the hollow main bridge.

5. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary bridge is formed in a right-angled triangle cross-sectional structure having a base line of a round shape.

6. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of auxiliary bridges forms an equal interval with respect to each other.

7. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of the hollow main bridge is smaller than an inner diameter of an axial hole of the damper housing.

8. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein each of the hollow main bridge and the auxiliary bridge is formed at left and right sides of the damper mass.

9. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein the damper mass is rubber material mass not forming a void.

10. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 1 , wherein
the damper housing comprises a cylinder shape of a dual tubular structure where an inner space thereof filled with the damper mass is divided by an axial hole; and
an inner diameter of the axial hole is greater than an inner diameter of the hollow main bridge.

11. The dual mode tuning dynamic damper of claim 9 , wherein a plurality of notch grooves is formed at the damper housing by cutting.

12. A drive shaft device comprising a dynamic damper, including:
a damper housing in which a damper mass as rubber material mass for damping is filled;
a pair of a main bridge and a rear main bridge being hollow pipes which extend in left and right axial directions of the damper housing in a position outside a longitudinal section size of the damper mass to form a dual concentric circle with the damper housing; and
a pair of an auxiliary bridge and a rear auxiliary bridge disposed at a connection section of the dual concentric circle for left and right sides of the damper mass to be supported by the main bridge and the rear main bridge, respectively,
wherein the dynamic damper is disposed at at least one of a right drive shaft connected with a right vehicle wheel via a ball joint and a left drive shaft connected with a left vehicle wheel via a ball joint.

13. A vehicle comprising:
the drive shaft device of claim 12 ;
the pair of the main bridge and the rear main bridge of claim 12 , and
the pair of the auxiliary bridge and the rear auxiliary bridge of claim 12 ; and
a power train for transmitting torque to the drive shaft device.

14. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein
the power train comprises an engine and a transmission; and
a transmission output shaft of the transmission is connected with the drive shaft device.
