Abstract

An anti-vibration device ( 1 ) of the present invention includes a cylindrical first attaching member ( 11 ) and a second attaching member ( 12 ), an elastic body ( 13 ), and a partition member ( 17 ) which is configured to partition a liquid chamber ( 14 ) in the first attaching member into a main liquid chamber ( 15 ) and an auxiliary liquid chamber ( 16 ). The partition member includes a membrane ( 31 ) that forms a part of the partition wall of the main liquid chamber, and an intermediate chamber ( 35 ) which is located on a side opposite to the main liquid chamber with the membrane therebetween and has a membrane as a part of a partition wall of the main liquid chamber. In the partition member, a first orifice ( 21 ) through which the main liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber communicate with each other, and a second orifice ( 22 ) through which the intermediate chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber communicate with each other, and a common opening ( 16 a ) which forms an opening on the auxiliary liquid chamber side of each of the first orifice ( 21 ) and the second orifice ( 22 ) are formed.

Claims (19)

1. An anti-vibration device comprising:

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

an elastic body which connects the first attaching member and the second attaching member; and

a partition member which is configured to partition a liquid chamber in the first attaching member into a main liquid chamber having the elastic body as a part of a partition wall of the main liquid chamber and an auxiliary liquid chamber,

wherein the partition member includes

a membrane which forms a part of the partition wall of the main liquid chamber, and

an intermediate chamber which is located on a side opposite to the main liquid chamber with the membrane interposed therebetween, and has the membrane as a part of the partition wall of the main liquid chamber,

in the partition member,

a first orifice through which the main liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber communicate with each other,

a second orifice through which the intermediate chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber communicate with each other, and

a common opening which forms a single opening, the single opening which forms an opening on the auxiliary liquid chamber side of the first orifice, and the single opening which forms an opening on the auxiliary liquid chamber side of the second orifice,

are formed,

each of the first orifice and the second orifice extends in a circumferential direction, and the second orifice is disposed on an inner side of the first orifice in a radial direction,

the common opening is formed on a wall surface defining an inner surface of the second orifice in the partition member,

the partition member includes an inner partition wall that blocks a part of the second orifice in the circumferential direction, and a first opening that communicates the first orifice with the common opening, and

the common opening is disposed at a position adjacent to the inner partition wall and the first opening.

2. The anti-vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the partition member is provided with an accommodating chamber which accommodates a movable member accommodated to be deformable or displaceable in an axial direction of the first attaching member, and

a first communication hole through which the accommodating chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber communicate with each other, and a second communication hole through which the accommodating chamber and the intermediate chamber communicate with each other are formed on the wall surface defining the accommodating chamber.

3. The anti-vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of holes through which the intermediate chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber communicate with each other are formed in the partition member.
