Abstract

The present invention includes a first mounting member ( 11 ); a second mounting member ( 12 ); an actuator ( 14 ) which dampens and absorbs input vibration by reciprocally moving a movable element ( 13 ) in accordance with input vibration; an actuator case ( 15 ) which houses the actuator therein; and a relay connector ( 17 ) which is mounted on the actuator case and electrically connects the connector ( 16 ) of the actuator and an external power source. The relay connector includes a terminal ( 27 ) which connects the connector of the actuator and the external power supply, and a housing ( 28 ) in which the terminal is installed. The actuator case is formed with an insertion hole ( 31 ) through which the terminal is inserted, and a mounting cylinder ( 32 ) surrounding the insertion hole is provided to protrude from the actuator case. One of the mounting cylinder and the housing is airtightly fitted to the inside of the other thereof via a packing ( 35 ).

Claims (13)

1. A vibration-proofing device comprising:

a first mounting member connected to one of a vibration generation unit and a vibration reception unit, and a second mounting member connected to the other thereof;

an actuator which dampens and absorbs input vibration by reciprocally moving a movable element in accordance with input vibration;

an actuator case which houses the actuator therein, and includes a main body portion and a lid body; and

a relay connector which is mounted on the actuator case and electrically connects a connector of the actuator and an external power source,

wherein:

the relay connector includes a terminal which connects the connector of the actuator and the external power supply, and a housing in which the terminal is installed,

the actuator case is formed with an insertion hole through which the terminal is inserted, and a mounting cylinder surrounding the insertion hole is provided and protrudes from the actuator case,

one of the mounting cylinder and the housing is airtightly fitted to the inside of the other thereof via a packing, and

the mounting cylinder protrudes from both front and back surfaces of an outer portion of the lid body.

2. The vibration-proofing device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is airtightly fitted to the inside of the mounting cylinder via the packing.

3. The vibration-proofing device according to claim 2 , wherein a mounting hole is formed in a portion of the actuator case located inside the mounting cylinder, a fitting protrusion formed in the housing being fitted to the mounting hole.

4. The vibration-proofing device according to claim 1 , wherein a mounting hole is formed in a portion of the actuator case located inside the mounting cylinder, a fitting protrusion formed in the housing being fitted to the mounting hole.
