Abstract

A relief valve is provided in a central part of an elastic diaphragm. A relief hole is provided in the central part of the relief valve. The relief valve is formed thinner than a main body section on an outer circumferential side thereof. Pressing projections protrude from the relief valve upper surface at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. The pressing projections contact a projection support section, and a central opening of a central section is located above the relief hole. During excessive deformation on a negative pressure side, the hydraulic liquid of a secondary liquid chamber allows an inner peripheral portion of the relief valve to cause such a preceding deformation as to be lifted up, and the relief valve is rapidly brought out of contact with the seal section, so that the hydraulic liquid leaks rapidly from the central opening to a primary liquid chamber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A liquid sealed vibration isolating device comprising:
a liquid chamber being partitioned into a primary liquid chamber and a secondary liquid chamber by a partition member,
an orifice being provided in the partition member to communicate between the primary liquid chamber and the secondary liquid chamber, and a relief valve for controlling cavitation being provided in a central portion of an elastic diaphragm, which is provided in the partition member,
wherein the partition member is formed integrally by holding the elastic diaphragm between an upper holder and a lower holder,
wherein the elastic diaphragm is provided at the central portion thereof with the relief valve and integrally provided at an outer peripheral portion thereof with a main body section for absorbing an internal pressure fluctuation of the primary liquid chamber, and the relief valve is formed thinner than the main body section and has a relief hole at a central area thereof, and
wherein the lower holder has a seal section provided below the relief valve, and the seal section comes in close contact with the relief valve to close the relief hole, and, when in a cavitation occurring condition the relief valve is brought out of contact with the seal section to open such that a portion around the relief hole of the relief valve is elastically deformed in such a way as to be lifted up, a hydraulic liquid leaks from the secondary liquid chamber through the relief hole to the primary liquid chamber.

2. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , further comprising pressing projections which project integrally from an upper surface of the relief valve at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction and which are pressed on a projection support section provided on the upper holder above the relief valve, in such a way as to allow the relief valve to be pressed against the seal section.

3. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper holder is provided with a valve opening restraining portion for preventing excessive deformation of the relief valve when the relief valve is opened.

4. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper holder and the lower holder are provided with elastic deformation restraining sections for restraining the main body section of the elastic diaphragm from being elastically deformed greater than a predetermined degree.

5. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper holder comprises an elastic deformation restraining section for restraining the main body section of the elastic diaphragm from being elastically deformed greater than a predetermined degree, and a single opening formed as a part of the upper holder which is located above the relief valve and radially inwardly from the elastic deformation restraining portion.

6. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein the upper holder is provided with a valve opening restraining portion for preventing excessive deformation of the relief valve when the relief valve is opened.

7. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein the upper holder and the lower holder are provided with elastic deformation restraining sections for restraining the main body section of the elastic diaphragm from being elastically deformed greater than a predetermined degree.

8. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 3 , wherein the upper holder and the lower holder are provided with elastic deformation restraining sections for restraining the main body section of the elastic diaphragm from being elastically deformed greater than a predetermined degree.

9. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 6 , wherein the upper holder and the lower holder are provided with elastic deformation restraining sections for restraining the main body section of the elastic diaphragm from being elastically deformed greater than a predetermined degree.
