Abstract

The present disclosure provides a mount for a vehicle that is provided at a portion at which damping performance is desired and that is fastened by a stud bolt. The mount for the vehicle includes a flange into which the stud bolt is inserted and that supports the stud bolt, an insulator configured to surround the flange, a housing coupled to the other one of the vibrating body or the supporting body and to which the insulator is fixed, a chamber formed inside the housing as a space surrounded by the housing and the insulator, and the chamber is filled with a fluid. In addition, the mount for the vehicle includes a damping part mounted on the housing to divide the chamber into two spaces and to be disposed in the chamber. The mount for the vehicle is configured to appropriately absorb vibrations and reduce noise.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mount for a vehicle that is provided at a portion at which damping is desired and that is fastened to one of a vibrating body in which vibration or impact occurs and a supporting body for supporting the vibrating body by a stud bolt, comprising:
a flange into which the stud bolt is inserted and that supports the stud bolt;
an insulator configured to surround the flange;
a housing coupled to the other one of the vibrating body or the supporting body and to which the insulator is fixed;
a chamber formed inside the housing as a space surrounded by the housing and the insulator, the chamber being filled with a fluid; and
a damping part mounted on the housing to divide the chamber into two spaces and to be disposed in the chamber,
wherein the damping part includes:
an upper cover formed to have a disc shape as an upper constituent element;
a large displacement inlet passage disposed adjacent to a centrifugal center of the upper cover as a hole perforated in the upper cover in a vertical direction;
at least one small displacement inlet passage disposed adjacent to a circumference of the upper cover as a hole perforated in the upper cover in the vertical direction;
a lower cover formed to have a disc shape as a lower constituent element coupled to a lower side of the upper cover;
a membrane mounting groove disposed adjacent to the circumference of the lower cover to communicate with the small displacement inlet passage and downwardly pressed from an upper surface of the lower cover;
a large displacement communicating groove disposed adjacent to a centrifugal center of the lower cover to communicate with the large displacement inlet passage and downwardly pressed from the upper surface of the lower cover;
a circulating passage extending to the outside of a radial direction of the lower cover while forming a spiral around the large displacement communicating groove from the large displacement communicating groove and downwardly pressed from the upper surface of the lower cover;
a large displacement outlet passage perforated in the lower cover in the vertical direction at an end of the circulating passage extending to the outside of the radial direction of the lower cover;
at least one small displacement outlet passage perforated in the lower cover in the vertical direction at a lower end of the membrane mounting groove; and
a membrane formed to have a shape corresponding to the membrane mounting groove and mounted on the membrane mounting groove to have a clearance with the membrane mounting groove.

2. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one small displacement inlet passage is formed to have a relatively long length along a circumferential direction of the upper cover.

3. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one small displacement inlet passage is radially formed in the upper cover.

4. The mount for the vehicle of claim 3 , wherein
the small displacement inlet passages are arranged at regular intervals along a circumferential direction of the upper cover.

5. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of coupling protrusions upwardly protruding in the lower cover are inserted into and fastened to a plurality of coupling holes perforated in the upper cover in the vertical direction so as to be arranged between the large displacement inlet passage and the small displacement inlet passage at positions corresponding to the coupling holes, and thus the upper cover and the lower cover are coupled with each other.

6. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the upper cover and the lower cover have the same diameter.

7. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the membrane mounting groove forms a circular shape concentric with the lower cover, and the membrane has an overall ring shape.

8. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the circulating passage is radially disposed more inside the lower cover than the membrane mounting groove.

9. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one small displacement outlet passage is formed to have a relatively long length along a circumferential direction of the lower cover.

10. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one small displacement outlet passage is radially formed in the lower cover.

11. The mount for the vehicle of claim 10 , wherein
the small displacement outlet passages are arranged at regular intervals along a circumferential direction of the lower cover.

12. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
the membrane is formed with:
an inner circumferential rail protruding in a vertical direction from an inner circumference of the membrane and extending along the inner circumference of the membrane; and
an outer circumferential rail protruding in the vertical direction from an outer circumference of the membrane and extending along the outer circumference of the membrane.

13. The mount for the vehicle of claim 12 , wherein
the inner circumferential rail and the outer circumferential rail protrude to have the same size.

14. The mount for the vehicle of claim 12 , wherein
the membrane is formed with:
at least one inner circumferential protrusion protruding in the vertical direction from the inner circumferential rail; and
at least one outer circumferential protrusion protruding in the vertical direction from the outer circumferential rail.

15. The mount for the vehicle of claim 14 , wherein
the at least one inner circumferential protrusion and the at least one outer circumferential protrusion is formed radially in the membrane, respectively.

16. The mount for the vehicle of claim 15 , wherein
the inner circumferential protrusions and the outer circumferential protrusions are arranged at regular intervals along a circumferential direction of the membrane, respectively.

17. The mount for the vehicle of claim 15 , wherein
the respective outer circumferential protrusion is formed at a position corresponding to the respective inner circumferential protrusion in a radial direction of the membrane.

18. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
when a large displacement frequency band vibration occurs, a fluid filled in the chamber sequentially passes through the large displacement inlet passage, the large displacement communicating groove, the circulating passage, and the large displacement outlet passage from an upper space of two divided spaces of the chamber, and then flows in a lower space of the two divided spaces of the chamber.

19. The mount for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein
when a small displacement frequency band vibration occurs, a fluid filled in the chamber sequentially passes through the small displacement inlet passage, the membrane mounting groove, and the small displacement outlet passage from an upper space of two divided spaces of the chamber, and then flows in a lower space of the two divided spaces of the chamber.
