Abstract

A fluid filled vibration damping device including: a first mounting member; a second mounting member having a cylindrical portion; and a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the first and second mounting members. The first mounting member is fixed to one end of the main rubber elastic body, and an insertion metal fitting in a cylindrical shape is fixed onto an outer peripheral face of another end thereof, and the cylindrical portion of the second mounting member is bonded by pressure to the insertion metal fitting with a sealing rubber in between in a fluid-tight manner. The insertion metal fitting is provided with an inward protrusion where part of a wall portion protrudes inward. A sealing rubber storage space is formed between the inward protrusion and the cylindrical portion of the second mounting member.

Claims (15)

1. A fluid filled vibration damping device comprising:

a first mounting member;

a second mounting member having a cylindrical portion;

a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the first and second mounting members;

a partition member supported by the second mounting member;

a pressure-receiving chamber in which a non-compressible fluid is sealed that is located on one side across from the partition member and whose wall is partially defined by the main rubber elastic body;

an equilibrium chamber in which the non-compressible fluid is sealed that is located on another side across from the partition member and whose wall is partially defined by a flexible film; and

an orifice passage that connects the pressure-receiving chamber and the equilibrium chamber to each other,

wherein the first mounting member is fixed to one end of the main rubber elastic body, and an insertion metal fitting in a cylindrical shape is fixed onto an outer peripheral face of another end thereof, and the cylindrical portion of the second mounting member is bonded by pressure to the insertion metal fitting with a sealing rubber in between in a fluid-tight manner,

wherein the insertion metal fitting is provided with an inward protrusion where part of a wall portion protrudes inward, and

wherein a sealing rubber storage space is formed between the inward protrusion and the cylindrical portion of the second mounting member.

2. The fluid filled vibration damping device according to claim 1 , wherein the inward protrusion of the insertion metal fitting is formed in a tapered shape extending inward while sloping in an axial direction of the insertion metal fitting.

3. The fluid filled vibration damping device according to claim 2 , wherein the inward protrusion in the tapered shape is provided at an end of the insertion metal fitting in the axial direction thereof on a side away from the first mounting member.

4. The fluid filled vibration damping device according to claim 1 , wherein in a transaxial direction of the insertion metal fitting, a protruding length at a protruded end of the inward protrusion is set within a range of 3 to 15% of an inner diameter of the insertion metal fitting.

5. The fluid filled vibration damping device according to claim 1 , wherein a volume of the sealing rubber storage space is made at least 3% of a volume of the sealing rubber clamped between the cylindrical portion of the second mounting member and the insertion metal fitting.
