Abstract

A compressor mounting device can be used for mounting a compressor to a vehicle body frame. The compressor mounting device includes a main body to be mounted to the vehicle body frame through first and second frame mounting units integrally formed to one end and the other end and including first and second compressor mounting units formed to be protruded upwardly between the first and second frame mounting units so as to be mounted to first and second lugs formed in the compressor. A main bush unit is mounted to the first and second compressor mounting units and connects the compressor and the first and second compressor mounting units through the first and second lugs to lessen vibration generated from the compressor from being transmitted to the vehicle body frame through the main body.

Claims (46)

1. A compressor mounting device for mounting a compressor to a vehicle body frame, the compressor mounting device comprising:

a main body to be mounted to the vehicle body frame through first and second frame mounting units that are integrally formed to one end of the vehicle body frame and the other end of the vehicle body frame, the main body including first and second compressor mounting units formed to be protruded upwardly between the first and second frame mounting units so as to be mounted to first and second lugs formed in the compressor;

a main bush unit mounted to the first and second compressor mounting units and connecting the compressor and the first and second compressor mounting units through the first and second lugs to lessen vibration generated from the compressor from being transmitted to the vehicle body frame through the main body; and

a sub-bush unit mounted to the first and second frame mounting units or the vehicle body frame and connecting the vehicle body frame and the main body to reduce an impact transmitted from the vehicle body frame to the compressor through the main body.

2. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein

the first frame mounting unit is located at one end of the main body and extends in a width direction that is perpendicular to a length direction of the main body, the length direction of the main body being a direction between the first and second frame mounting units; and

a first bush hole is respectively formed at both extended side ends of the first frame mounting unit to mount the sub-bush unit.

3. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein a second bush hole is formed in the second frame mounting unit to mount the sub-bush unit.

4. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein

the first compressor mounting unit is disposed between the first frame mounting unit and the second frame mounting unit at a position closer to the first frame mounting unit than to the second frame mounting unit; and

the second compressor mounting unit is disposed at a position closer to the second frame mounting unit than to the first frame mounting unit.

5. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the first compressor mounting unit comprises:

a first upward bending part disposed at a first side of the main body and extending away from the main body in an upward direction;

a second upward bending part disposed at a second side of the main body and extending away from the main body in the upward direction, the second side opposite the first side along a width direction of the main body that is perpendicular to a length direction of the main body, the length direction of the main body being a direction between the first and second frame mounting units;

a first outward bending part extending from the first upward bending part away from the main body in the width direction; and

a second outward bending part extending from the second upward bending part away from the main body in the width direction.

6. The compressor mounting device of claim 5 , wherein third bush holes are formed in the first and second outward bending parts and wherein a fourth bush hole is formed in the second compressor mounting unit to mount the main bush unit.

7. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the first compressor mounting unit is formed in the main body at a position corresponding to a center of gravity of the compressor and disposed on the same line as a first imaginary line passing through the center of gravity in a width direction.

8. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the second compressor mounting unit is disposed on the same line as a second imaginary line passing through a center of gravity of the compressor and a rotation axis of the compressor.

9. The compressor mounting device of claim 8 , wherein the second frame mounting unit is disposed on the same line as the second imaginary line.

10. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the first compressor mounting unit is disposed above the second compressor mounting unit with respect to a lower surface of the main body.

11. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein an opening hole is formed in the main body along a length direction, the length direction of the main body being a direction between the first and second frame mounting units.

12. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the main body is formed with a “T” shape through the first frame mounting unit.

13. The compressor mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the first frame mounting unit is mounted through a bracket provided on the vehicle body frame.

14. A compressor mounting device for mounting a compressor to a vehicle body frame, the compressor mounting device comprising:

a main body to be mounted to the vehicle body frame through first and second frame mounting units that are integrally formed to one end of the vehicle body frame and the other end of the vehicle body frame, the main body including first and second compressor mounting units formed to be protruded upwardly between the first and second frame mounting units so as to be mounted to first and second lugs formed in the compressor;

a main bush unit mounted to the first and second compressor mounting units and connecting the compressor and the first and second compressor mounting units through the first and second lugs to lessen vibration generated from the compressor from being transmitted to the vehicle body frame through the main body; and

a sub-bush unit mounted to the first and second frame mounting units or the vehicle body frame and connecting the vehicle body frame and the main body to reduce an impact transmitted from the vehicle body frame to the compressor through the main body;

wherein the main bush unit comprises:

an outer ring mounted to the first and second compressor mounting unit;

a first insulator with an exterior circumference vulcanized-bonded to an interior circumference of the outer ring; and

an inner stud with the exterior circumference vulcanized-bonded to the center of the first insulator and engaged to the first or second lug.

15. The compressor mounting device of claim 14 , wherein the inner stud comprises:

a first washer part with an upper surface supported by a lower end of the first or second lug and formed to have a predetermined interval from the upper surface of the first insulator;

a second washer part formed to be spaced apart from a lower surface of the first insulator at a position separated downwardly from the first washer part; and

a protrusion part formed between the first washer part and the second washer part to increase a contact area with an interior circumference of the first insulator.

16. The compressor mounting device of claim 15 , wherein the second washer part is formed with a wider area than the first washer part corresponding to a size of the first insulator.

17. The compressor mounting device of claim 14 , wherein the sub-bush unit comprises:

a second insulator mounted to the first and second frame mounting units; and

an inner ring with an exterior circumference vulcanized-bonded to an interior circumference of the second insulator.

18. The compressor mounting device of claim 17 , wherein the first insulator and the second insulator are formed with different elastic coefficients.

19. The compressor mounting device of claim 17 , wherein the first insulator is formed with a lower elastic coefficient than that of the second insulator.

20. A compressor mounting device for mounting a compressor to a vehicle body frame, the compressor mounting device comprising:

a main body to be mounted to the vehicle body frame through first and second frame mounting units that are integrally formed to one end of the vehicle body frame and the other end of the vehicle body frame and including first and second compressor mounting units formed to be protruded upwardly between the first and second frame mounting units so as to be mounted to first and second lugs formed in the compressor;
