Abstract

An anti-vibration device ( 1 ) includes a tubular first attachment member ( 10 ), a second attachment member ( 20 ), an elastic body ( 70 ), and a separating member ( 50 ) that separates a liquid chamber in the first attachment member into a main liquid chamber ( 80 ) and a secondary liquid chamber ( 90 ). A tapered surface ( 502 ) decreasing in diameter towards another side in the axial direction is formed on an end on the other side in the axial direction of an outer circumferential surface of the separating member, a bend portion ( 101 ) bent to follow the tapered surface is formed on an end on the other side in the axial direction of the first attachment member, and an end ( 301 ) on the outer circumferential side of a diaphragm ( 30 ) is sandwiched between the tapered surface and the bend portion.

Claims (14)

1. An anti-vibration device comprising:

a tubular first attachment member configured to be connected to one of a vibration generating portion and a vibration receiving portion;

a second attachment member configured to be connected to another one of the vibration generating portion and the vibration receiving portion;

an elastic body connecting the first attachment member and the second attachment member to each other; and

a separating member separating a liquid-filled liquid chamber inside the first attachment member into a main liquid chamber on one side in an axial direction and a secondary liquid chamber on another side in the axial direction, at least a portion of the main liquid chamber being enclosed by the elastic body, and at least a portion of the secondary liquid chamber being enclosed by a diaphragm, wherein:

a tapered surface decreasing in diameter towards the another side in the axial direction is formed on an end on the another side in the axial direction of an outermost circumferential surface of the separating member,

a bend portion bent to follow the tapered surface is formed on an end on the another side in the axial direction of the first attachment member, and

an end on an outer circumferential side of the diaphragm is sandwiched between the tapered surface and the bend portion,

wherein:

the separating member includes an engaged portion formed on the tapered surface of the separating member, and

the diaphragm includes an engaging portion, which engages with the engaged portion, formed on the end on the outer circumferential side of the diaphragm, and

wherein the engaged portion is located between an outer circumferential end of the tapered surface and an inner circumferential end of the tapered surface.

2. The anti-vibration device of claim 1 , wherein within the outermost circumferential surface of the separating member, a portion adjacent to the tapered surface on the one side in the axial direction is substantially flush with an end face furthest on the outer circumferential side of the diaphragm.

3. The anti-vibration device of claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion of the diaphragm is positioned further on the outer circumferential side than the end on the another side in the axial direction of the first attachment member.
