Hydraulic damping mount
A hydraulic damping mount has a working chamber and a compensating chamber, which are filled with a hydraulic liquid and separated from each other by an intermediate plate. The working chamber and the compensating chamber are connected to each other via a transfer passage and a bypass channel. The bypass channel can be opened or closed by an actuator. The actuator is configured as a one-piece elastomer part, which has a fastening portion on the edge and an actuating element, which is connected to the fastening portion via a flexible connecting portion.
1. A hydraulic damping mount, comprising:
an intermediate plate;
a working chamber;
a transfer passage;
a bypass channel;
a compensating chamber, said working chamber and said compensating chamber being filled with a hydraulic liquid and separated from each other by said intermediate plate, said working chamber and said compensating chamber fluidically connected to each other by said transfer passage and by said bypass channel;
a baffle plate having an opening formed therein, said opening leading to said compensating chamber; and
an actuator for opening and closing said bypass channel, said actuator having an actuating element, which, in an assembled state, abuts with a biasing force against said baffle plate, said bypass channel disposed offset with respect to said actuator in a radial direction such that said actuating element has a lateral pressure applied to it, said actuator formed as a one piece elastomer part having a flexible connecting portion and a fastening portion in an edge region, said actuating element being connected to said fastening portion via said flexible connecting portion, wherein a downward biasing of said actuator toward said baffle plate being achieved due to a shape and flexibility of said connecting portion of said actuator without a coil spring contributing to the biasing, said actuator having a topside with a recess formed therein, said recess forming a vacuum chamber in an assembled state of said actuator.
2. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator is rotation-symmetrically formed.
3. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein said actuating element has a form of a cylinder.
4. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 1 , further comprising a reinforcing element inserted in said fastening portion.
5. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 4 , wherein said reinforcing element is made from metal.
6. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein said vacuum chamber is connectable to a controllable vacuum source.
7. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a decoupling chamber disposed in said intermediate plate; and
a decoupling membrane accommodated in said decoupling chamber.
8. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 7 , wherein said decoupling membrane has a further vacuum chamber associated with it, which is connectable to a controllable vacuum source.
9. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 7 , wherein said actuator and said decoupling membrane are simultaneously switchable.
10. The hydraulic damping mount according to claim 1 , further comprising a grid disposed in said opening of said baffle plate.
