Abstract

The present invention relates to a vibration damping device including an outer attachment member ( 10 ) connected to one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, an inner attachment member ( 20 ) connected to the other, and an elastic body ( 30 ) configured to connect the outer attachment member ( 10 ) and the inner attachment member ( 20 ), wherein the outer attachment member ( 10 ) is formed in a cylindrical shape, the inner attachment member ( 20 ) includes a plate-shaped rigid member ( 21 ) disposed in the outer attachment member ( 10 ) and an interior member ( 28 ) located in the outer attachment member ( 10 ), fixed to the rigid member ( 21 ), and formed of a synthetic resin material, and, at protruding portions ( 22, 23 ) of the rigid member ( 21 ) which protrude outward from the outer attachment member ( 10 ) in an axial direction along a central axis (O) of the outer attachment member ( 10 ), mounting holes ( 22 a , 23 a ) which are open in a diameter direction orthogonal to the axial direction and have a fastening member configured to connect the protruding portions ( 22, 23 ) and the other of the vibration generating part and the vibration receiving part fitted thereinto are formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration damping device comprising:
an outer attachment member connected to one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part;
an inner attachment member connected to the other; and
an elastic body configured to connect the outer attachment member and the inner attachment member, wherein:
the outer attachment member is formed in a cylindrical shape;
the inner attachment member comprises:
a rigid member disposed in the outer attachment member, and
an interior member located in the outer attachment member in an axial direction along a central axis of the outer attachment member, fixed to the rigid member, and formed of a synthetic resin material;

a first protruding portion protruding outward in a diameter direction orthogonal to the axial direction is formed in the interior member;
a second protruding portion protruding inward in the diameter direction is formed in the outer attachment member;
the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion are disposed such that positions in the circumferential direction around the central axis of the outer attachment member correspond to each other and positions in the axial direction are different from each other; and
one of the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion is formed such that two first protruding portions or two second protruding portions are formed at an interval in the axial direction, and the other is disposed therebetween,
wherein the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion do not overlap along the axial direction,
the rigid member is formed in a plate shape,
the interior member covers the rigid member over an entire circumference of the rigid member, and
the interior member includes a pair of third protruding portions that are disposed on both sides of the rigid member with the central axis interposed therebetween, and protrude outward in the diameter direction.

2. The vibration damping device according to claim 1 , wherein a concave portion that is concave in the diameter direction is formed in a portion of the rigid member located in the outer attachment member, and the interior member is fixed to the rigid member by the synthetic resin material being introduced into the concave portion.

3. The vibration damping device according to claim 2 , wherein the concave portion is formed on a surface of the rigid member.

4. The vibration damping device according to claim 1 , wherein:
a recessed portion formed to narrow a width of the rigid member is disposed in at least a portion of the rigid member located in the outer attachment member; and
the interior member is fixed inside the recessed portion.

5. The vibration damping device of claim 1 , wherein the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion face each other in the axial direction.

6. The vibration damping device of claim 1 , wherein a pair of first protruding portions protruding outward in a diameter direction orthogonal to the axial direction are formed in the interior member on opposite sides of the central axis, and
a pair of second protruding portions protruding inward in the diameter direction are formed in the outer attachment member on opposite sides of the central axis.

7. A vibration damping device comprising:
an outer attachment member connected to one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part;
an inner attachment member connected to the other;
an elastic body configured to connect the outer attachment member and the inner attachment member; and
a chamber disposed between the elastic body and the outer attachment member,
wherein:
the outer attachment member is formed in a cylindrical shape;
the inner attachment member comprises:
a rigid member disposed in the outer attachment member, and
an interior member located in the outer attachment member in an axial direction along a central axis of the outer attachment member, fixed to the rigid member, and formed of a synthetic resin material;

a first protruding portion protruding outward in a diameter direction orthogonal to the axial direction is formed in the interior member;
a second protruding portion protruding inward in the diameter direction is formed in the outer attachment member;
the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion are disposed such that positions in the circumferential direction around the central axis of the outer attachment member correspond to each other and positions in the axial direction are different from each other;
one of the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion is formed such that two first protruding portions or two second protruding portions are formed at an interval in the axial direction, and the other is disposed therebetween; and
the chamber is also disposed between the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion,
the rigid member is formed in a plate shape,
the interior member covers the rigid member over an entire circumference of the rigid member, and
the interior member includes a pair of third protruding portions that are disposed on both sides of the rigid member with the central axis interposed therebetween, and protrude outward in the diameter direction.
