Abstract

This vibration-proofing device is a vibration-proofing device 12 including an elastic body 28 which elastically connects an intermediate cylinder fitting 130 and an inner cylinder fitting 20 , a first liquid chamber 161 and a second liquid chamber 162 disposed around the central axis of the inner cylinder fitting 20 , and a partition wall 29 made of the elastic body 28 , which is disposed between the adjacent liquid chambers 161 and 162 . The initial load is input in a +Z-direction substantially parallel to the central axis of the intermediate cylinder fitting 130 . When the inner cylinder fitting 20 has been displaced in the −Z-direction, a displacement regulating member 71 which abuts a formation area of the partition wall 29 in the elastic body 28 to regulate the displacement of the elastic body 28 is connected to the intermediate cylinder fitting 130 . It is thus possible to regulate the displacement of the elastic body at low cost.

Claims (10)

1. A vibration-proofing device comprising:

a first member connected to a vibration receiving portion and formed in a substantially cylindrical shape;

a second member connected to a vibration generating portion and disposed on the inner peripheral side of the first member;

an elastic body which elastically connects the first member and the second member;

an equilibrium chamber and a diaphragm disposed on the inner peripheral side of the first member, wherein the equilibrium chamber is disposed between the elastic body and the diaphragm;

a plurality of liquid chambers disposed around the central axis of the second member; and

a partition wall made of the elastic body, which is disposed between the adjacent liquid chambers, the initial load being input substantially parallel to the central axis of the second member,

wherein, when the second member has been displaced in a direction opposite to the input direction of the initial load, a displacement regulating member which abuts a formation area of the partition wall in the elastic body to regulate the displacement of the elastic body is connected to the first member.

2. The vibration-proofing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein convex portions made of the elastic body are formed in the formation area of the partition wall in the surface of the elastic body in the direction opposite to the input direction of the initial load, and when the second member has been displaced in the direction opposite to the input direction of the initial load, the convex portions abut the displacement regulating member.
