Abstract

A present invention provides an anti-vibration device (1) which is equipped with a first tubular mounting member (11) connected to one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, and a second mounting member (12) connected to the other thereof; an elastic body (13) which connects the first mounting member and the second mounting member; and a partition member (16) which partitions a liquid compartment (19) in the first mounting member into a first liquid compartment (14) having the elastic body in a part of a bulkhead, and a second liquid compartment (15) in an axial direction along an central axis of the first mounting member, and has an orifice passage (24) through which the first liquid compartment and the second liquid compartment communicate with each other, in which a plurality of ridge parts (26) extending in a circumferential direction are formed on an inner surface (27) of the elastic body which defines the first liquid compartment in a radial direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An anti-vibration device comprising:
a first tubular mounting member connected to one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, and a second mounting member connected to the other thereof;
an elastic body which connects the first mounting member and the second mounting member; and
a partition member which partitions a liquid compartment in the first mounting member into a first liquid compartment having the elastic body in a part of a bulkhead, and a second liquid compartment in an axial direction along an central axis of the first mounting member, and has an orifice passage through which the first liquid compartment and the second liquid compartment communicate with each other,
wherein a plurality of ridge parts extending in a circumferential direction around the central axis when viewed from the axial direction are formed on an inner surface of the elastic body which defines the first liquid compartment, in a radial direction intersecting the central axis when viewed from the axial direction,
the plurality of ridge parts are continuously disposed on the inner surface of the elastic body in the radial direction, and
an end portion on one side in the axial direction of one ridge part of the plurality of ridge parts is connected to an end portion on the other side in the axial direction of another ridge part of the plurality of ridge parts which is adjacent to the one ridge part in the radial direction.

2. The anti-vibration device of claim 1 , wherein at least some parts of the ridge parts face an opening of the orifice passage on the first liquid compartment side in the axial direction.

3. The anti-vibration device of claim 2 , wherein the ridge parts have a corner part which points toward the first liquid compartment.

4. The anti-vibration device of claim 3 , wherein the ridge parts extend continuously over an entire circumference.

5. The anti-vibration device of claim 2 , wherein the ridge parts extend continuously over an entire circumference.

6. The anti-vibration device of claim 1 , wherein the ridge parts have a corner part which points toward the first liquid compartment.

7. The anti-vibration device of claim 6 , wherein the ridge parts extend continuously over an entire circumference.

8. The anti-vibration device of claim 1 , wherein the ridge parts extend continuously over an entire circumference.
