Abstract

A liquid-sealed antivibration device capable of improving the position accuracy of an outer fitting member and a diaphragm. An outer fitting member ( 11 ) is externally fitted on a partition member ( 20 ) with an interposition portion ( 10 b ) interposed, and the interposition portion ( 10 b ) is made to be fixed in thickness. Thus, when a diameter reduction process is given to a second attaching member ( 3 ), the outer fitting member ( 11 ) is restrained from being displaced in a direction to slip out of the partition member ( 20 ). Therefore, the outer fitting member ( 11 ) is restrained from falling eccentric or inclined relative to the partition member ( 20 ), and hence, it can be realized that the outer fitting member ( 11 ) and the diaphragm ( 10 ) are improved in position accuracy.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A liquid-sealed antivibration device comprising a first attaching member, a cylindrical second attaching member, an antivibration base body connecting the first attaching member and the second attaching member and constituted by a rubber elastic body, a diaphragm defining a liquid-sealed chamber between itself and the antivibration base body and constituted by a rubber elastic body, a partition member dividing the liquid-sealed chamber into a first chamber on the antivibration base body side and a second chamber on the diaphragm side, and an orifice making communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein:
there are provided a cylindrical outer fitting member externally fitted on the partition member and an interposition portion arranged on an inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member to be a fixed dimension in thickness, connected to an outer edge part of the diaphragm and made of a rubber elastic body;
the outer fitting member is externally fitted on the partition member with the interposition portion interposed between the outer fitting member and the partition member;
the partition member is provided with a protruding portion which protrudes radially outward from an outer peripheral surface and with which an axial end surface of the externally fitted outer fitting member is brought into contact, and is formed to be cylindrical at an area where the outer fitting member is externally fitted; and
the second attaching member is subjected to a diameter reduction process with the outer fitting member externally fitted on the partition member, and
wherein concavities are provided to be hollow on one of the outer peripheral surface of the partition member and the inner peripheral surface of the interposition portion and wherein the concavities are arranged to be distributed in the circumferential direction.

2. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the concavities are provided to be hollow on the inner peripheral surface of the interposition portion.

3. A liquid-sealed antivibration device comprising a first attaching member, a cylindrical second attaching member, an antivibration base body connecting the first attaching member and the second attaching member and constituted by a rubber elastic body, a diaphragm defining a liquid-sealed chamber between itself and the antivibration base body and constituted by a rubber elastic body, a partition member dividing the liquid-sealed chamber into a first chamber on the antivibration base body side and a second chamber on the diaphragm side, and an orifice making communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein:
there are provided a cylindrical outer fitting member externally fitted on the partition member and an interposition portion arranged on an inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member to be a fixed dimension in thickness, connected to an outer edge part of the diaphragm and made of a rubber elastic body;
the outer fitting member is externally fitted on the partition member with the interposition portion interposed between the outer fitting member and the partition member;
the partition member is provided with a protruding portion which protrudes radially outward from an outer peripheral surface and with which an axial end surface of the externally fitted outer fitting member is brought into contact, and is formed to be cylindrical at an area where the outer fitting member is externally fitted;
the second attaching member is subjected to a diameter reduction process with the outer fitting member externally fitted on the partition member, and

wherein:
there is provided a film portion connected to the antivibration base body, arranged on an inner peripheral surface of the second attaching member and made of a rubber elastic body; and
the outside diameter dimension of the outer fitting member is set to the same dimension as, or a smaller dimension than, the outside diameter dimension at the protruding portion of the partition member.

4. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 3 , wherein the outside diameter dimension of the outer fitting member is set to the same dimension as the outside diameter dimension at the protruding portion of the partition member.

5. A liquid-sealed antivibration device comprising a first attaching member, a cylindrical second attaching member, an antivibration base body connecting the first attaching member and the second attaching member and constituted by a rubber elastic body, a diaphragm defining a liquid-sealed chamber between itself and the antivibration base body and constituted by a rubber elastic body, a partition member dividing the liquid-sealed chamber into a first chamber on the antivibration base body side and a second chamber on the diaphragm side, and an orifice making communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein:
there are provided a cylindrical outer fitting member externally fitted on the partition member and an interposition portion arranged on an inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member to be a fixed dimension in thickness, connected to an outer edge part of the diaphragm and made of a rubber elastic body;
the outer fitting member is externally fitted on the partition member with the interposition portion interposed between the outer fitting member and the partition member;
the partition member is provided with a protruding portion which protrudes radially outward from an outer peripheral surface and with which an axial end surface of the externally fitted outer fitting member is brought into contact, and is formed to be cylindrical at an area where the outer fitting member is externally fitted;
the second attaching member is subjected to a diameter reduction process with the outer fitting member externally fitted on the partition member, and
wherein a restraint is formed at least on one of the outer peripheral surface of the partition member and the inner peripheral surface of the interposition portion thereby restraining the outer fitting member from being displaced relative to the partition member in a direction to separate from the protruding portion.

6. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 5 , wherein the restraint is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the partition member.

7. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 6 , wherein the restraint is formed as a projectingly disposed part which is provided to project radially outward from an axial end portion of the partition member.

8. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 7 , wherein the projectingly disposed part of the restraint is:
a slope surface which gradually decreases in outside diameter as going from an end part on the other axial side toward the protruding portion of the partition member.

9. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 5 , wherein:
the restraint is composed of a protrusion formed to protrude radially inward from the interposition portion and a concavity formed to be hollow on the outer peripheral surface of the partition member in the same shape as the external shape of the protrusion;
the protrusion and the concavity are formed at positions facing each other; and
the protrusion is engaged with the concavity when the outer fitting member is externally fitted on the partition member.
