Abstract

[Problem] To provide a liquid-sealed antivibration device capable of improving the position accuracy of an outer fitting member and a diaphragm.
[Solution] Since a cylindrical outer fitting member 11 with an outer edge part of a diaphragm 10 connected thereto is externally fitted on a partition member 20 at an area on an inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member 11 where the diaphragm 10 is not connected, that is, since the diaphragm 10 is not interposed between the partition member 20 and the outer fitting member 11 , the position relation of the outer fitting member 11 to the partition member 20 can be stabilized, so that the outer fitting member 11 can be restrained from inclining relative to the partition member 20.

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-like elastic body, a diaphragm defining a liquid-sealed chamber between itself and the antivibration base body and constituted by a rubber-like 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 is provided a cylindrical outer fitting member with an outer edge part of the diaphragm connected to the cylindrical outer fitting member;
the outer fitting member is externally fitted around an outer circumferential surface in a radial direction of the partition member at an area on an inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member in a radial direction and where the diaphragm is not connected;
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;
there is provided a film portion connected to the antivibration base body, arranged at an inner peripheral surface of the second attaching member and constituted by a rubber-like elastic body; and
the film portion is closely adhered to the protruding portion of the partition member and the outer fitting member.

2. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the outer fitting member is set so that the axial length of the area where the diaphragm is not connected to the inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member is longer than the axial length from an axial end surface of the partition member to the protruding portion.

3. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 1 , wherein concavities are provided to be hollow on the outer peripheral surface of the partition member.

4. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the partition member is provided with convex portions which protrude radially outward from its outer peripheral surface and are arranged to be distributed in the circumferential direction; and
wherein extreme ends of the convex portions each take a semicircularly curved shape as viewed in the axial direction and are held in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer fitting member.

5. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness dimension of the outer fitting member is set to the same dimension as, or a smaller dimension than, the protruding dimension of the protruding portion from the outer peripheral surface of the partition member.

6. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness dimension of the outer fitting member is set to the same dimension as the protruding dimension of the protruding portion from the outer peripheral surface of the partition member.

7. The liquid-sealed antivibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the outer fitting member is provided with a notch section which is cut away in a taper shape at an axial end portion of an inner peripheral surface on the area side where the diaphragm is not connected.
