Abstract

An engine mount includes a nozzle plate mounted between an insulator and a diaphragm so as to divide an interior into an upper liquid chamber and a lower liquid chamber, and an annular flow path formed in the nozzle plate so that an encapsulated hydraulic liquid flows between the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber, the nozzle plate being opened at an upper side of the flow path; a shielding member which has two or more shielding plates arranged to cover the upper side of the flow path; an adjusting bolt which is rotatably mounted in a core coupled to the insulator; and a connector, in which the shielding plates are folded or unfolded in accordance with a rotation of the adjusting bolt, and a size of an upper flow path hole is determined depending on a state in which the shielding plates are folded or unfolded.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine mount for a vehicle, comprising:
a nozzle plate mounted between an insulator and a diaphragm so as to divide an interior into an upper liquid chamber and a lower liquid chamber, and an annular flow path formed in the nozzle plate so that an encapsulated hydraulic liquid flows between the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber, the nozzle plate being opened at an upper side of the flow path;
a shielding member which has two or more shielding plates connected so as to be folded or unfolded so that a length of the shielding member is changed, the shielding member being mounted on the nozzle plate so as to cover the upper side of the flow path;
an adjusting bolt which is rotatably mounted in a core coupled to the insulator; and
a connector which has one end connected to the adjusting bolt, and the other end connected to any one of the shielding plates,
wherein the shielding plates are folded or unfolded in accordance with a rotation of the adjusting bolt, and a size of an upper flow path hole, which is formed at one side end of the flow path and communicates with the upper liquid chamber, is determined depending on a state in which the shielding plates are folded or unfolded.

2. The engine mount of claim 1 , wherein the shielding member has a shape having a height difference between both sides as a portion of a lower plate of the at least two or more shielding plates having a first catching projection protruding upward at one side end and a portion of an upper plate of the at least two or more shielding plates having a second catching projection protruding downward at the other side end are stacked on each other, and the shielding plates of the shielding member are connected so as to be slidable relative to each other, and connected such that the sliding movement is restricted when the first catching projection comes into direct contact with the second catching projection.

3. The engine mount of claim 2 , wherein the connector is connected to the shielding plate closest to the upper flow path hole.

4. The engine mount of claim 3 , wherein the connector is made of a material having elasticity.

5. The engine mount of claim 4 , wherein the connector has a curved shape so that a curved portion is formed between the adjusting bolt and the shielding plate.

6. The engine mount of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle plate includes:
a nozzle lower portion which has an annular flow path groove formed in an upper surface of the nozzle lower portion, and a lower flow path hole formed at one side end of the flow path groove and communicating with the lower liquid chamber; and
a nozzle upper portion which is coupled at an upper side of the nozzle lower portion, and has an upper flow path hole formed at the other side end of the flow path groove and communicating with the upper liquid chamber, and
the shielding member is slidably coupled to the nozzle upper portion so as to be placed on the flow path groove.

7. The engine mount of claim 1 , wherein the core has a bolt hole having threads formed on an inner circumferential surface of the bolt hole, the adjusting bolt is thread-coupled into the bolt hole, and a wrench groove is formed at an upper end of the adjusting bolt so that a wrench is fitted into the wrench groove.

8. The engine mount of claim 7 , wherein a fixing bolt for coupling an engine bracket is fastened into the bolt hole at an upper side of the adjusting bolt.
