Abstract

A vibration control mount apparatus capable of absorbing an initial pushing-up load based on a shock and capable of promptly damping a residual vibration generated after the shock. The vibration control mount apparatus includes a case body mounted on a turning frame, a mount rubber is mounted on the case body. A magnetic viscous fluid of which viscosity is changed by a magnetic filed is sealed in a sealing chamber in the case body. A movable body supported by the mount rubber has a damper plate which moves while receiving resistance from the magnetic viscous fluid in the sealing chamber. Viscosity variable controlling device forms the magnetic field in accordance with vibration acceleration detected by the acceleration detecting device to change the viscosity of the magnetic viscous fluid.

Claims (16)

1 . A vibration control mount apparatus comprising:

a case body mounted on a mount base member;

an elastic body mounted on the case body;

a sealing chamber formed in the case body;

a viscosity change fluid which is sealed in the sealing chamber and of which viscosity is changed;

a movable body that has a damper plate which moves while receiving resistance from the viscosity change fluid in the sealing chamber and that is supported by the elastic body;

acceleration detecting device for detecting vibration acceleration of the movable body; and

viscosity variable controlling device for changing the viscosity of the viscosity change fluid in accordance with vibration acceleration detected by the acceleration detecting device.

2 . The vibration control mount apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity change fluid is a magnetic viscous fluid of which viscosity is changed by a magnetic field; and

the viscosity variable controlling device forms the magnetic field in accordance with vibration acceleration detected by the acceleration detecting device to change the viscosity of the magnetic viscous fluid.

3 . The vibration control mount apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity change fluid is an electric viscous fluid of which viscosity is changed by application of voltage; and

the viscosity variable controlling device applies voltage in accordance with vibration acceleration detected by the acceleration detecting device to change the viscosity of the electric viscous fluid.

4 . The vibration control mount apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity variable controlling device raises viscosity of the viscosity change fluid during residual vibration generated by a shock.

5 . The vibration control mount apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the mount base member is a turning frame of a working machine; and

a cab floor member is mounted on the movable body.
