Abstract

A fluid-filled vibration-damping device including: a first mounting member; a second mounting member; a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the two mounting members; a fluid chamber whose wall is constituted by the main rubber elastic body at a portion and by a flexible film at another portion, the fluid chamber being filled with a non-compressible fluid; a fixation member being attached to an outer peripheral rim of the flexible film and being disposed inside or outside the tubular second mounting member such that the fixation member is superposed to the second mounting member in an axis-perpendicular direction; an insertion hole formed in the second mounting member and the fixation member; and a positioning member inserted through the insertion hole so as to relatively position the second mounting member and the fixation member at a scaling position by axial locking.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fluid-filled vibration-damping device comprising:
a first mounting member;
a tubular second mounting member;
a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the first and second mounting members;
a fluid chamber for which a portion of its wall is constituted by the main rubber elastic body, while another portion of its wall is constituted by a flexible film, the fluid chamber being filled with a non-compressible fluid;
a fixation member being attached to an outer peripheral rim of the flexible film and being disposed internally in relation to the second mounting member such that the fixation member is superposed to the second mounting member in an axis-perpendicular direction;
an insertion hole formed in the second mounting member and the fixation member; and
a positioning member inserted through the insertion hole so as to position the second mounting member and the fixation member at a sealing position relative to each other by axial locking.

2. The fluid-filled vibration-damping device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a partition member provided for dividing the fluid chamber into a pressure-receiving chamber whose wall is partially constituted by the main rubber elastic body and an equilibrium chamber whose wall is partially constituted by the flexible film, wherein
an outer peripheral part of the flexible film is clamped between the partition member and a pressing member that is fixed to the partition member while being overlapped with the partition member, and
the fixation member is constituted by including the partition member and the pressing member.

3. The fluid-filled vibration-damping device according to claim 2 , wherein the insertion hole of the fixation member is formed in the partition member.

4. The fluid-filled vibration-damping device according to a claim 1 , wherein the insertion hole is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the second mounting member and an outer peripheral surface of the fixation member that are overlapped with each other.

5. The fluid-filled vibration-damping device according to claim 4 , wherein the inner peripheral surface of the second mounting member and the outer peripheral surface of the fixation member expand linearly in an extension direction of the insertion hole in a formation part of the insertion hole.

6. The fluid-filled vibration-damping device according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion hole is formed on each of both sides about a central axis of the second mounting member.

7. The fluid-filled vibration-damping device according to claim 1 , further comprising a bracket mounted to the second mounting member, wherein
in a state where the bracket is mounted, the second mounting member and the fixation member are stably positioned at the sealing position relative to each other so that a space between the second mounting member and the fixation member is sealed in a fluid-tight manner, while the positioning member inserted through the insertion hole is extractable from the insertion hole.
