Torque rod
A torque rod includes a rod body, a large round portion, and a small round portion. The large round portion is provided at one end of the rod body. The small round portion is provided at the other end of the rod body. The large round portion includes an outer portion, an inner portion, and a joint portion. The outer portion has a tubular shape. The inner portion is provided on an inner side of the outer portion and has an annular opening to which an attaching member is attached. The joint portion elastically joins the outer portion and the inner portion. The inner portion includes a base portion and an extending portion. The base portion has the opening formed therein. The extending portion extends from the base portion toward the small round portion. The joint portion is provided between the extending portion and the outer portion.
1. A torque rod comprising:
a rod body;
a first bush that is provided at one end of the rod body; and
a second bush that is provided at the other end of the rod body, wherein
the first bush includes
a tubular outer portion,
an inner portion that is provided on an inner side of the outer portion and has an annular opening to which an attaching member is attached, and
a joint portion that elastically joins the outer portion and the inner portion,
the inner portion includes
a base portion that has the opening formed therein and
an extending portion that extends from the base portion toward the second bush, wherein the extending portion is formed in a substantially triangular shape when seen in an axial direction of the first bush, a vertex of the triangular shape is positioned at the base portion and a side of the triangular shape extends from the vertex to another vertex of the triangular shape while being continuously inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a longitudinal direction of the torque rod when seen in the axial direction of the first bush, and
the joint portion is provided between the extending portion and the outer portion.
2. The torque rod according to claim 1 , wherein the extending portion has a narrow width on a base portion side and gradually increases in width as the extending portion approaches the second bush.
3. The torque rod according to claim 2 , wherein
an outer surface of the extending portion includes a first extending portion side surface and a second extending portion side surface, to which the joint portion is joined,
an inner surface of the outer portion includes a first outer portion side surface and a second outer portion side surface, to which the joint portion is joined, and
the first extending portion side surface and the first outer portion side surface, and the second extending portion side surface and the second outer portion side surface are formed so as to be parallel to each other.
4. The torque rod according to claim 1 , wherein
the outer portion includes
a first opening portion that accommodates the base portion of the inner portion and
a second opening portion that accommodates the extending portion of the inner portion, and
a width of the first opening portion is smaller than a width of the second opening portion.
5. The torque rod according to claim 1 , wherein the inner portion includes a cutout portion in addition to the opening.
