Abstract

A mount bush includes a tubular member, a shaft member disposed inside the tubular member coaxially with an axis of the tubular member and including a coil, a permanent magnet provided on at least one of the tubular member and the shaft member, a magnetic viscoelastic fluid filled in an internal space, a first liquid chamber disposed in the internal space at a first side, a second liquid chamber communicating with the first liquid chamber, and a third liquid chamber communicating with the second liquid chamber, wherein the coil is disposed such that a magnetic path passing through the second liquid chamber in an orientation along at least one of the axial direction and the radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction is formed through electrical conduction, and the permanent magnet is disposed such that a magnetizing direction is formed along the magnetic path.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mount bush comprising:
a tubular member;
a shaft member that is disposed inside the tubular member coaxially with an axis of the tubular member and that includes a coil;
a permanent magnet provided on at least one of the tubular member and the shaft member;
a magnetic viscoelastic fluid filled into an internal space between the tubular member and the shaft member;
a first liquid chamber disposed in the internal space at a first side in an axial direction which extends along the axis;
a second liquid chamber communicating with the first liquid chamber at a second side in the axial direction; and
a third liquid chamber communicating with the second liquid chamber at the second side in the axial direction,
wherein the coil is disposed such that a magnetic path, which passes through the second liquid chamber in an orientation along at least one of the axial direction and a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction, is formed through electrical conduction,
wherein the permanent magnet is disposed such that a magnetizing direction is formed along the magnetic path,
wherein the second liquid chamber includes:
an axial passage that communicates with the first liquid chamber and that extends in the axial direction; and
a shaft-perpendicular passage that communicates with the axial passage and the third liquid chamber and that extends in the radial direction, and

wherein the coil is disposed such that the magnetic path, which passes through the axial passage in an orientation along the radial direction and passes through the shaft-perpendicular passage in an orientation along the axial direction, is formed through the electrical conduction.

2. The mount bush according to claim 1 , wherein the tubular member comprises a first magnetic member,
the shaft member comprises a second magnetic member, and
the magnetic path formed by the coil passes through the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member.

3. The mount bush according to claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet is formed in a tubular shape coaxial with the axis.

4. The mount bush according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first liquid chamber and the third liquid chamber is divided in a circumferential direction by an elastic member.

5. The mount bush according to claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet is provided on the shaft member and the magnetizing direction is directed in the radial direction.
