Abstract

A partitioning member ( 16 ) of a vibration-damping device ( 10 ) is provided with a communication chamber ( 30 ), a first communication hole ( 31 ) and a second communication hole ( 32 ). The first communication hole ( 31 ) and the second communication hole ( 32 ) are arranged to be offset from each other in the axial direction (O). The first communication hole ( 31 ) is formed by the inside of a first protruding tube ( 31 a ) that protrudes into the communication chamber ( 30 ) from the first wall surface ( 30 a ). The second communication hole ( 32 ) is formed by the inside of the second protruding tube ( 32 a ) that protrudes into the communication chamber ( 30 ) from the second wall surface ( 30 b ). By including the configuration as described above, simplification of structure can be achieved.

Claims (13)

1. A vibration-damping device comprising:

a tubular first attachment member coupled to any one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, and a second attachment member coupled to the other thereof;

an elastic body coupling both of the attachment members; and

a partitioning member that partitions a liquid chamber within the first attachment member having a liquid enclosed therein into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber,

wherein at least any one of the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber has the elastic body on a portion of a wall surface thereof,

wherein the partitioning member is provided with a communication chamber that allows the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other,

wherein a first wall surface and a second wall surface that face each other with the communication chamber disposed therebetween among wall surfaces that form the communication chamber in the partitioning member are separately provided with communication holes that open toward the communication chamber,

wherein a first communication hole that is provided in the first wall surface and allows the communication chamber and the first liquid chamber to communicate with each other, and a second communication hole that is provided in the second wall surface and allows the communication chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other are provided as the communication holes,

wherein the first communication hole and the second communication hole are arranged to be offset from each other in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a facing direction in which the first wall surface and the second wall surface face each other,

wherein the first communication hole is formed by the inside of a first protruding tube that protrudes into the communication chamber from the first wall surface, and

wherein the second communication hole is formed by the inside of a second protruding tube that protrudes into the communication chamber from the second wall surface.

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

wherein an outer peripheral surface of the first protruding tube gradually decreases in diameter from a base end of the first protruding tube toward a protruding end thereof.
