Abstract

A hydraulically damping mount for mounting a motor vehicle unit, such as mounting a motor vehicle engine on a motor vehicle body, includes a supporting spring and a compensation chamber. The supporting spring is configured to support a mount core and surround a working chamber. The compensation chamber is separated from the working chamber by a dividing wall and delimited by a compensation diaphragm. In embodiments, the compensation chamber and the working chamber are filled with a fluid and are connected to each other by a damping duct incorporated into the dividing wall. In embodiments, the dividing wall includes a diaphragm that is capable of oscillating, and a foam element associated with the diaphragm supports the diaphragm in the event of a deflection.

Claims (18)

1. A hydraulically damping mount for mounting a motor vehicle unit comprises:

a supporting spring, the supporting spring supporting a mount core and surrounding a working chamber; and

a compensation chamber separated from the working chamber by a dividing wall and comprising a compensation diaphragm,

wherein the compensation chamber and the working chamber are filled with a fluid and are connected to each other by a damping duct incorporated into the dividing wall; the dividing wall has a decoupling diaphragm configured to oscillate; and a foam element is associated with the decoupling diaphragm, supports the decoupling diaphragm, and is compressed by the decoupling diaphragm oscillating.

2. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein the foam element is accommodated in a foam element chamber.

3. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 2 , wherein the foam element chamber is sealed at one end face by the decoupling diaphragm.

4. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein the foam element-comprises a closed-cell foam.

5. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein the foam element-comprises a polyurethane foam.

6. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein the foam element-comprises a micro-cellular foam (MCU).

7. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein the foam element is formed with a shape of a hollow cylinder.

8. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein one or more damping properties of the mount can be adjusted by modifying or adjusting a hardness of the foam element.

9. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 8 , wherein a Shore hardness of the foam element is modified or adjusted.

10. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein the motor vehicle unit comprises a motor vehicle engine for mounting on a motor vehicle body.

11. The hydraulically damping mount according to claim 1 , wherein an opening associated with a switch valve is provided on the foam element chamber.

12. A hydraulically damping mount for mounting a motor vehicle unit comprises:

a supporting spring, the supporting spring supporting a mount core and surrounding a working chamber; and

a compensation chamber separated from the working chamber by a dividing wall and comprising a compensation diaphragm,

wherein the compensation chamber and the working chamber are filled with a fluid and are connected to each other by a damping duct incorporated into the dividing wall; the dividing wall has a decoupling diaphragm configured to oscillate; a foam element is associated with the decoupling diaphragm and supports the decoupling diaphragm in the event of a deflection; and an opening associated with a switch valve is provided on the foam element chamber.
