Abstract

A hydraulic mount for a vehicle having both forward-rearward damper and upward-downward damper includes: a main rubber configured to define a fluid chamber; an orifice assembly that divides the fluid chamber into an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber, defines the upper fluid chamber together with the main rubber, and has an orifice arranged between the upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber; and a diaphragm configured to define the lower fluid chamber at the lower side of the orifice assembly. In particular, the main rubber has a partition wall extending downwards so as to partition the upper fluid chamber into a first upper fluid chamber and a second upper fluid chamber in the state in which the lower end of the partition wall is coupled to the orifice assembly.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic mount for a vehicle, the hydraulic mount comprising:
a main rubber configured to define a fluid chamber;
an orifice assembly configured to:

partition the fluid chamber into an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber, define the upper fluid chamber together with the main rubber, and
have an orifice which is a fluid passage and disposed between the upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber; and
a diaphragm configured to define the lower fluid chamber on a lower side of the orifice assembly,
wherein the main rubber has a partition wall extending downwards configured to partition the upper fluid chamber into a first upper fluid chamber and a second upper fluid chamber in a state in which a lower end of the partition wall is coupled to the orifice assembly.

2. The hydraulic mount according to claim 1 , wherein the first upper fluid chamber is located at a front of the vehicle in a direction of a chassis of the vehicle, and the second upper fluid chamber is located at a rear of the vehicle in the direction of the chassis.

3. The hydraulic mount according to claim 1 , wherein the partition wall of the main rubber is formed in a shape extending downwards from a middle of a lower surface of the main rubber defining the upper fluid chamber such that a lower end of the partition wall is coupled to an upper surface of the orifice assembly.

4. The hydraulic mount according to claim 1 , wherein:
a coupling unit is formed at an upper plate of the orifice assembly and configured to extend in a diametrical direction of the upper plate,
a lower end of the partition wall of the main rubber is coupled to the coupling unit, and
the lower end of the partition wall is formed in a shape extending in the diametrical direction of the upper plate so as to be coupled to the coupling unit of the upper plate.

5. The hydraulic mount according to claim 4 , wherein the coupling unit comprises two elongated protrusions formed at the upper plate, the two elongated protrusions are disposed in parallel with each other, and
the lower end of the partition wall is inserted and coupled between the two elongated protrusions.

6. The hydraulic mount according to claim 1 , wherein:
a coupling unit is formed at an upper plate of the orifice assembly,
a lower end of the partition wall of the main rubber is coupled to the coupling unit,
the coupling unit comprises two elongated protrusions formed at the upper plate,
the two elongated protrusions are disposed in parallel with each other, and
the lower end of the partition wall is inserted and coupled between the two elongated protrusions.

7. The hydraulic mount according to claim 6 , wherein:
a fastening member configured to be inserted between the two elongated protrusions is installed at the lower end of the partition wall,
a rivet pin formed at the fastening member is riveted in a state of being inserted through a rivet hole formed in the upper plate, and
the lower end of the partition wall is integrally fixed to the upper plate via the fastening member.

8. The hydraulic mount according to claim 6 , wherein:
the main rubber is pushed downwards by weight of an engine supported by the hydraulic mount, and
the lower end of the partition wall is coupled to the upper plate in tight contact therewith in a state of being inserted between the two elongated protrusions.

9. The hydraulic mount according to claim 1 , wherein the orifice assembly includes:
a first orifice which is a first fluid passage arranged between the first upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber; and
a second orifice which is a second fluid passage arranged between the second upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber.

10. The hydraulic mount according to claim 9 , wherein:
the orifice assembly comprises an upper plate and a lower plate which are configured to define the first and second orifices,
the first orifice and the second orifice are provided between the upper plate and the lower plate, each of the first orifice and the second orifice being semicircular,
first fluid passage holes through which the first orifice and the second orifice communicate respectively with the first upper fluid chamber and the second upper fluid chamber are formed in the upper plate, and
second fluid passage holes through which the first orifice and the second orifice communicate with the lower fluid chamber are formed in the lower plate.

11. The hydraulic mount according to claim 1 , wherein:
a fastening member is installed at a lower end of the partition wall, and
a rivet pin formed at the fastening member is riveted in a state of being inserted through a rivet hole formed in an upper plate of the orifice assembly, such that the lower end of the partition wall is integrally fixed to the upper plate via the fastening member.
