Abstract

An electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount may include a primary diaphragm dividing a lower fluid chamber, where a fluid in an upper fluid chamber to which an exciting force as external force is applied is circulated, into a primary lower fluid chamber where the fluid is circulated, a secondary diaphragm dividing the lower fluid chamber into a secondary lower fluid chamber where the fluid is circulated, a secondary diaphragm bracket blocking an atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space in which atmospheric pressure acts beneath the primary diaphragm and forming an atmospheric pressure formation central space in which atmospheric pressure acts beneath secondary diaphragm, and by-pass channels.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount comprising:
a primary diaphragm dividing a lower fluid chamber, where a fluid in an upper fluid chamber to which an exciting force as external force is applied is circulated, into a primary lower fluid chamber where the fluid is circulated;
a secondary diaphragm dividing the lower fluid chamber into a secondary lower fluid chamber where the fluid is circulated;
a secondary diaphragm bracket blocking an atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space in which atmospheric pressure acts beneath the primary diaphragm and forming an atmospheric pressure formation central space in which atmospheric pressure acts beneath the secondary diaphragm; and
by-pass channels in which a solenoid valve supplied with a current allows the atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space to communicate with an atmosphere whereas the solenoid valve blocks the atmospheric pressure formation central space from the atmosphere, and the solenoid valve which is not supplied with the current blocks the atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space from the atmosphere whereas the solenoid valve allows the atmospheric pressure formation central space to communicate with the atmosphere.

2. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 1 , wherein the by-pass channels include:
an atmospheric pressure channel opened to the atmosphere;
a primary diaphragm channel connected to the atmospheric pressure channel to be opened to the atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space and a secondary diaphragm channel branched from the primary diaphragm channel to be opened to the atmospheric pressure formation central space; and
a gate located at a branch part of the primary diaphragm channel and the secondary diaphragm channel is moved in a reversed direction by the solenoid valve such that the atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space or the atmospheric pressure formation central space is under atmospheric pressure.

3. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 2 , wherein the atmospheric pressure channel is perpendicular to the primary diaphragm channel, and the primary diaphragm channel is perpendicular to the secondary diaphragm channel.

4. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 2 , wherein the secondary diaphragm channel is further formed with a side expansion channel in a direction in which the atmosphere is introduced through the atmospheric pressure channel, and the side expansion channel has a length equal to an upward stroke of the gate.

5. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 2 , wherein the atmospheric pressure formation peripheral space is under the atmospheric pressure when the gate is moved upward, whereas the atmospheric pressure formation central space is under the atmospheric pressure when the gate is moved downward.

6. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 1 , wherein the primary diaphragm is formed integrally with the secondary diaphragm.

7. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 1 , wherein an upper core to which the exciting force as the external force is applied is coupled above the upper fluid chamber, a lower core fixing a passage block formed with the by-pass channels is coupled beneath the lower fluid chamber, and a bottom of the secondary diaphragm bracket is supported by the passage block.

8. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 7 , wherein the upper fluid chamber is distinguished from the lower fluid chamber by a first nozzle bracket forming a primary nozzle communicating with the primary lower fluid chamber and a second nozzle bracket forming a secondary nozzle fitted into a central hole of the first nozzle bracket.

9. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 8 , wherein the first nozzle bracket has a dished cross-section, the secondary diaphragm is located on a flat bottom surface of the first nozzle bracket to form the secondary lower fluid chamber, and the primary diaphragm is fitted into a groove formed at a recessed circumference of the first nozzle bracket.

10. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 8 , wherein the second nozzle bracket has a hollow boss protruding from a center thereof to form the secondary nozzle, and a plurality of orifice holes through which a fluid passes are radially formed around the hollow boss.

11. The electronic indirect by-pass type semi-active mount of claim 7 , wherein the upper and lower cores are coupled by a mounting housing having a plurality of mounting fastening holes.
