Abstract

The invention is a liquid filled type vibration isolating device ( 10 ) which includes a partition member ( 16 ) that partitions a liquid chamber ( 19 ) within a first attachment member ( 11 ) filled with a liquid into a first liquid chamber ( 14 ) and a second liquid chamber ( 15 ), and in which a restricted passage ( 24 ), which is configured to allow the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other, is formed in the partition member. The restricted passage includes a first communication part ( 26 ) opening to the first liquid chamber, a second communication part opening to the second liquid chamber, and a main flow passage ( 25 ) that allows the first communication part and the second communication part to communicate with each other. At least one of the first communication part and the second communication part includes a plurality of pores ( 26 a ) that penetrate a first barrier ( 38 ) facing the first liquid chamber or the second liquid chamber. At least one pore of the plurality of pores has a flow passage length of the pore that is 3 times or more the minimum value of the internal diameter of the pore.

Claims (32)

1. A liquid filled type vibration isolating device comprising:

a tubular first attachment member that is coupled to any one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, and a second attachment member that is coupled to the other thereof;

an elastic body that elastically couples both the attachment members to each other; and

a partition member that partitions a liquid chamber within the first attachment member filled with a liquid into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber,

wherein a restricted passage, which is configured to allow the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other, is formed in the partition member,

wherein the restricted passage includes a first communication part opening to the first liquid chamber, a second communication part opening to the second liquid chamber, and a main flow passage that allows the first communication part and the second communication part to communicate with each other,

wherein at least one of the first communication part and the second communication part includes a plurality of pores that penetrate a first barrier facing the first liquid chamber or the second liquid chamber,

wherein at least one pore of the plurality of pores has a flow passage length of the pore that is 3 times or more than a minimum value of an internal diameter of the pore,

wherein the pore includes a first portion on the main flow passage side and a second portion on the first liquid chamber side, and

wherein an inclination angle of an inner peripheral surface of the first portion with respect to an axial direction is larger than an inclination angle of an inner peripheral surface of the second portion with respect to the axial direction.

2. A liquid filled type vibration isolating device comprising:

a tubular first attachment member that is coupled to any one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, and a second attachment member that is coupled to the other thereof;

an elastic body that elastically couples both the attachment members to each other; and

a partition member that partitions a liquid chamber within the first attachment member filled with a liquid into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber,

wherein a restricted passage, which is configured to allow the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other, is formed in the partition member,

wherein the restricted passage includes a first communication part opening to the first liquid chamber, a second communication part opening to the second liquid chamber, and a main flow passage that allows the first communication part and the second communication part to communicate with each other,

wherein at least one of the first communication part and the second communication part includes a plurality of pores that penetrate a first barrier facing the first liquid chamber or the second liquid chamber,

wherein at least one pore of the plurality of pores has a flow passage length of the pore that is 3 times or more than a minimum value of an internal diameter of the pore,

wherein an accommodation chamber in which a membrane is accommodated, a first communication hole which is configured to allow the accommodation chamber and the first liquid chamber to communicate with each other, and a second communication hole which is configured to allow the accommodation chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other are formed in the partition member,

wherein a flow passage length of at least one pore of the plurality of pores is larger than each of flow passage lengths of the first communication hole and the second communication hole, and

wherein a minimum value of an internal diameter of each pore of the plurality of pores is smaller than the respective internal diameters of the first communication holes and the second communication holes, and a maximum value of an internal diameter of each pore of the plurality of pores is larger than the respective internal diameters of the first communication holes and the second communication holes.

3. A liquid filled type vibration isolating device comprising:

a tubular first attachment member that is coupled to any one of a vibration generating part and a vibration receiving part, and a second attachment member that is coupled to the other thereof;

an elastic body that elastically couples both the attachment members to each other; and

a partition member that partitions a liquid chamber within the first attachment member filled with a liquid into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber,

wherein a restricted passage, which is configured to allow the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other, is formed in the partition member,

wherein the restricted passage includes a first communication part opening to the first liquid chamber, a second communication part opening to the second liquid chamber, and a main flow passage that allows the first communication part and the second communication part to communicate with each other,

wherein at least one of the first communication part and the second communication part includes a plurality of pores that penetrate a first barrier facing the first liquid chamber or the second liquid chamber,

wherein at least one pore of the plurality of pores has a flow passage length of the pore that is 3 times or more than a minimum value of an internal diameter of the pore,

wherein an accommodation chamber in which a membrane is accommodated, a first communication hole which is configured to allow the accommodation chamber and the first liquid chamber to communicate with each other, and a second communication hole which is configured to allow the accommodation chamber and the second liquid chamber to communicate with each other are formed in the partition member,

wherein a flow passage length of at least one pore of the plurality of pores is larger than each of flow passage lengths of the first communication hole and the second communication hole, and

wherein a total of minimum values of flow passage cross-sectional areas in the plurality of pores is smaller than a total of the flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of first communication holes and a total of the flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of second communication holes.
