Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid-filled vibration isolator, and more particularly to a liquid-filled vibration isolator that can suppress a feeling of shock when the state of an elastic film is switched.

  In a vehicle such as an automobile, a vibration isolator that suppresses transmission of vibration to the vehicle body side is provided between a vibration generation source such as an engine and a vehicle body that receives vibration. As such a vibration isolator, for example, a control-type liquid-filled vibration isolator disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known. According to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, an air chamber is formed between the elastic film disposed in the liquid chamber and the displacement regulating member. The elastic film is moved to the movable state by opening the air chamber to the atmosphere, and the elastic film is brought into a restrained state by introducing a negative pressure into the air chamber. Since the characteristics of the liquid-filled vibration isolator can be switched by switching the state of the elastic membrane, vibrations having different frequencies such as shake vibrations and idling vibrations of the engine can be effectively attenuated.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-264958

  However, in the above-described technique, when the elastic film switches from the movable state to the restrained state or when the elastic film switches from the restrained state to the movable state, the contact area between the elastic film and the displacement regulating member changes abruptly. There is a problem that pressure fluctuation occurs and a shock is generated.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a liquid-filled vibration isolator capable of suppressing a shock feeling when the state of an elastic film is switched.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

  In order to achieve this object, according to the liquid-filled vibration isolator of claim 1, the first mounting member and the cylindrical second mounting member are connected by the vibration isolating base composed of a rubber-like elastic body. The A liquid sealing chamber is formed between the diaphragm and the anti-vibration substrate fixed to the second mounting portion. An elastic film that can be deformed by pressure fluctuation in the liquid enclosure chamber is made of a rubber-like elastic body and is disposed in the liquid enclosure chamber. The elastic film has an outer peripheral portion fixed to a displacement restricting member disposed to face the elastic film, and displacement is restricted by the displacement restricting member.

  One of the opposing surfaces where the elastic film and the displacement regulating member face each other includes a plurality of convex portions and a plurality of concave portions adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the convex portions. The convex portion is formed such that the facing distance between the elastic membrane or the other facing surface of the displacement regulating member gradually increases from the outer peripheral portion toward the radial center portion. Therefore, when the elastic membrane is deformed so that the opposing surfaces approach each other from a state where the elastic membrane and the displacement regulating member are separated from each other, the elastic membrane is gradually contacted from the outer peripheral portion along the convex portion toward the radial center portion. Expand.

Further, the concave portion is formed such that the facing distance from the other facing surface of the elastic film or the displacement regulating member gradually increases as the distance from the convex portion increases along the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the convex portion and the concave portion are continuously formed with smooth curved surfaces. Therefore, when the elastic film is deformed so that the opposing surfaces approach each other, the elastic film expands the contact surface little by little along the concave portion from the convex portion toward the circumferential direction.

  On the other hand, when the elastic film is deformed so that the opposed surfaces are separated from the state in which the opposed surfaces of the elastic film and the displacement regulating member are in contact (restrained state), the elastic film is protruded in the circumferential direction along the concave portion. Narrow the contact surface gradually toward the shape. Next, the contact surface is gradually narrowed along the convex portion toward the outer peripheral portion, and finally, the opposing surfaces of the elastic film and the displacement regulating member are separated (movable state).

  As described above, since the elastic film changes the contact area little by little along the convex part and the concave part when the state (restrained state or movable state) is switched, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of sudden fluid pressure fluctuations. . Therefore, there is an effect that a feeling of shock can be suppressed.

According to the liquid-filled vibration isolator according to claim 2, at least a part of each concave part is formed in a concave spherical shape constituted by a part of the spherical surface. Since the center of the spherical surface is located on the same plane that is different from the axis passing through the axis of the elastic membrane or the displacement regulating member and is orthogonal to the axis, the plurality of concave portions formed in the concave spherical shape are Arranged in the direction. Since the elastic membrane can be continuously deformed along the concave spherical concave portion, in addition to the effect of claim 1, the hydraulic pressure fluctuation can be further suppressed, and the shock feeling can be further suppressed. .
Furthermore, since the radius of the spherical surface is the same, the curvature of each concave-shaped portion can be made the same, and there is an effect that it is difficult to cause partial deterioration and elastic reduction in the elastic film that repeatedly deforms.

According to the liquid-filled vibration isolator according to claim 3, in the cross-sectional view in the circumferential direction, the convex portion is formed in a convex arc shape toward the other of the opposing surfaces, and the concave portion is opposite to the other of the opposing surfaces. It is formed in a convex arc shape toward the side. Thereby, the change of the contact area of an elastic film and a displacement control member can be made looser. As a result, it is possible to further suppress the occurrence of sudden fluid pressure fluctuations, so that in addition to the effect of claim 1 or 2, there is an effect of further suppressing the feeling of shock caused by the sudden fluid pressure fluctuations.

In addition, the pipe forming member 50 is fixed to the partition body 20, whereby the inner peripheral edge 45 of the first diaphragm 40 is fixed in an airtight manner.

  The liquid-filled vibration isolator 1 is manufactured as follows, for example. First, the liquid chamber forming member 10 is press-fitted into the partition body 20, and the second diaphragm 30 is sandwiched between the liquid chamber forming member 10 and the partition body 20. The inner peripheral edge 45 of the first diaphragm 40 to which the support metal fitting 47 is vulcanized and bonded is held by the pipe line forming member 50, and the pipe line forming member 50 is fixed to the partition body 20.

The second mounting member 3 is subjected to a drawing process so that the liquid chamber forming member 10, the partition 20, and the support fitting 47 are liquid-tight between the vibration isolating base 4 and the rubber film 5.

  The liquid enclosure chamber L of the liquid enclosure type vibration isolator 1 includes a first liquid chamber L1 between the vibration isolation base 4 and the liquid chamber forming member 10, and a second liquid chamber between the partition body 20 and the first diaphragm 40. L2 is partitioned into a third liquid chamber L3 between the liquid chamber forming member 10 and the second diaphragm 30. An air chamber R is formed between the second diaphragm 30 and the partition body 20. An air pressure adjusting device 60 is connected to the air pipe 50 a communicating with the air chamber R.

  The air pressure adjusting device 60 is a device for introducing a negative pressure or an atmospheric pressure into the air chamber R, and includes an external pipe 63 on the vehicle body side connected to the pipe forming member 50 (the air pipe 50a), and an external pipe. A negative pressure source 61 and a switching valve 62 connected to the path 63 are included. The switching valve 62 is configured by an electromagnetic valve or the like, and can selectively switch communication between the negative pressure source 61 or the atmosphere and the air chamber R. As the negative pressure source 61, for example, a pressure absorber system or an accumulator on the intake side of an automobile is employed.

  The switching valve 62 is connected to a control device (not shown). The control device receives various types of information representing the state of the vehicle, such as the traveling speed of the vehicle, the engine speed, the shift position selection position, and the throttle opening, from various sensors provided in the vehicle. The control device operates the switching valve 62 based on the various information input.

  According to the liquid-filled vibration isolator 1, when the air chamber R is opened to the atmosphere by the switching valve 62, the second diaphragm 30 can be moved. On the other hand, when negative pressure is introduced into the air chamber R by the switching valve 62, the rigidity of the second diaphragm 30 is increased by bringing the second diaphragm 30 into contact with the main body portion 21 of the partition body 20 to be in a restrained state. be able to. By changing the rigidity of the second diaphragm 30 in this manner, vibrations with different frequencies such as shake vibration and idling vibration of the power unit can be effectively attenuated.

  Next, the partition 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, a schematic configuration of the partition 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the partition 20, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are plan views of the partition 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the partition 20 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom having an axis O from a metal material such as an aluminum alloy or a synthetic resin material. At the upper and lower ends in the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall portion 24 of the partition 20, flange-shaped orifice forming walls 25 and 26 are respectively projected. Cutouts 25a and 26a are formed in the orifice forming walls 25 and 26, respectively, and the orifice forming walls 25 and 26 are connected by the vertical wall 25b. The first orifice 20b (see FIG. 2) formed by the outer peripheral wall portion 24 and the orifice forming walls 25 and 26 is divided in the circumferential direction by the vertical wall 25b.

  The partition 20 has a substantially disc-shaped main body 21 (see FIG. 2) on the inner peripheral surface side of the outer peripheral wall portion 24, and the annular portion 22 and the stepped portion 23 having a flat surface are the outer peripheral portions of the main body 21. Are integrally formed. The upper surface of the main body 21 is formed in a concave shape. The annular portion 22 is a portion to which the outer peripheral portion of the second diaphragm 30 (see FIG. 2) is airtightly fixed, and the main body portion 21 is configured so that the negative pressure is introduced into the air chamber R. This is a part for restricting the displacement and bringing it into a restrained state.

  The main body 21 has a plurality of inner convex portions 21b and outer convex portions 21d on the surface facing the second diaphragm 30, and a plurality of adjacent inner circumferential portions 21b and outer convex portions 21d in the circumferential direction. An inner concave portion 21a and an outer concave portion 21c are provided. The inner convex portion 21b, the outer convex portion 21d, the inner concave portion 21a, and the outer concave portion 21c are the first when the negative pressure is introduced into the air chamber R (see FIG. 2) to restrict the displacement of the second diaphragm 30. This is a portion where the two diaphragms 30 are in continuous contact.

  In the present embodiment, four inner convex portions 21b are formed radially around the hole forming portion 21e that is located in the radial central portion and in which the through hole 20a is formed, and the outer convex portion is formed radially outward. 21d is formed. Four inner concave portions 21a are formed between the inner convex portions 21b, and the outer concave portion 21c is located on the radially outer side. The inner concave portion 21a and the outer concave portion 21c are each formed in a substantially fan shape in plan view, and the circumferential length (in plan view) of the outer convex portion 21d located on the outer peripheral side with respect to the inner convex portion 21b is The inner concave portion 21a is set to be smaller than the circumferential length of the outer concave portion 21c located on the outer peripheral side.

  Next, the shapes of the inner concave portion 21a and the outer concave portion 21c will be described with reference to FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the partition 20 taken along line VI-VI in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the inner concave portion 21 a and the outer concave portion 21 c are formed as curved surfaces that gradually descend and incline from the annular portion 22 toward the radial center. In a cross-sectional view including the axis O (see FIG. 2) shown in FIG. 6, the outer concave portion 21c (see FIG. 3) is formed in an upward convex arc shape, and the inner concave portion 21a is formed in a downward convex arc shape. Is done. The outer concave portion 21c is coupled to the annular portion 22 with a smooth curved surface, and the inner concave portion 21a is coupled to the outer concave portion 21c with a smooth curved surface.

  In the present embodiment, the four inner concave portions 21a are each formed into a concave spherical shape by a part of the four spherical surfaces S having different centers C. In FIG. 5, the center of the spherical surface S1 is C1, and in FIG. 6, the center of the spherical surface S2 is C2, and the center of the spherical surface S4 is C4. The centers C1 to C4 are located on a plane orthogonal to the axis O (vertical direction in FIG. 6) as shown in FIG. 6, and exist at different positions from the axis O as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the inner concave portion 21 a formed by the concave spherical curved surface can be arranged in the circumferential direction of the partition body 20. The outer concave portion 21c is formed by connecting the formed inner concave portion 21a and the annular portion 22 with a smooth curved surface.

  Returning to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner convex portion 21 b and the outer convex portion 21 d are gradually increased from the annular portion 22 toward the radial central portion as a whole, similarly to the inner concave portion 21 a and the outer concave portion 21 c described above. It is formed as a downwardly inclined curved surface. In a cross-sectional view including the axis O (see FIG. 2), the outer convex portion 21d is formed in an upward convex arc shape, and the inner convex portion 21b is formed in a downward convex arc shape. The outer convex portion 21d is coupled to the annular portion 22 with a smooth curved surface, and the inner convex portion 21b is coupled to the outer convex portion 21d with a smooth curved surface.

  The inner convex portion 21b is formed by connecting the outer concave portions 21c formed in the circumferential direction of the partition body 20 with a smooth curved surface. The outer convex portion 21d is formed by connecting the formed inner convex portion 21b and the annular portion 22 with a smooth curved surface.

  Next, the relationship in the circumferential direction between the inner concave portion 21a and the inner convex portion 21b will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the partition body 20 taken along the line VII-VII in FIG. 4, and illustrates the shapes of the inner concave portion 21a and the inner convex portion 21b in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 7, the inner concave portion 21 a is formed as a curved surface that gradually descends and slopes away from the inner convex portion 21 b along the circumferential direction. In the cross-sectional view in the circumferential direction shown in FIG. 7, the inner convex portion 21b is formed in an upward convex arc shape, and the inner concave portion 21a is formed in a downward convex arc shape. The inner concave portion 21a and the inner convex portion 21b are coupled to each other with a smooth curved surface.

  Next, the relationship in the radial direction between the outer concave portion 21c and the outer convex portion 21d will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view of the partition body 20. Since the outer concave portion 21c and the outer convex portion 21d are not on the same cross section including the axis O, in FIG. 8, a cross-sectional view of the outer concave portion 21c and the inner concave portion 21a including the axis O (the cross section shown in FIG. 6). (Same as in the figure) is shown by a solid line, and cross-sectional views of the outer convex part 21d and the inner convex part 21b including the axis O are superimposed and shown by a two-dot chain line. In addition, a sectional view of the second diaphragm 30 including the axis O is illustrated by a two-dot chain line.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the outer concave portion 21c of the partition 20 is formed in a convex arc shape toward the second diaphragm 30 (upper side in FIG. 8), and the inner concave portion 21a is opposite to the second diaphragm 30 (see FIG. 8). 8 is formed in a convex arc shape toward the lower side. As a whole, the outer concave portion 21c and the inner concave portion 21a are set so that the facing distance from the second diaphragm 30 gradually increases from the outer peripheral portion toward the radial central portion (left side in FIG. 8).

  The outer convex portion 21d of the partition 20 is formed in a convex arc shape toward the second diaphragm 30 (upper side in FIG. 8), and the inner convex portion 21b is on the opposite side (lower side in FIG. 8) of the second diaphragm 30. It is formed in a convex arcuate shape. As a whole, the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion 21b are set so that the facing distance from the second diaphragm 30 gradually increases from the outer peripheral portion toward the radial center portion (left side in FIG. 8). The facing distance to the second diaphragm 30 is set such that the outer convex portion 21d is set smaller than the outer concave portion 21c, and the inner convex portion 21b is set smaller than the inner concave portion 21a on the outer peripheral side (the right side in FIG. 8). Yes.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the elastic deformation behavior of the second diaphragm 30 when a negative pressure is introduced into the liquid-filled vibration isolator 1 will be described. When the external pipe line 63 (see FIG. 1) is connected to the liquid-filled vibration isolator 1 and negative pressure is introduced into the air chamber R, the second diaphragm 30 is sequentially partitioned from the outer peripheral side to the radial center. It is elastically deformed so as to approach 20. The distance between the second diaphragm 30 and the second diaphragm 30 is set so that the outer convex portion 21d is smaller than the outer concave portion 21c. Therefore, the second diaphragm 30 that is elastically deformed is first the outer convex portion before the outer concave portion 21c. 21d is contacted. Since the circumferential length of the outer convex portion 21d is set to be smaller than the circumferential length of the outer concave portion 21c, the contact area of the second diaphragm 30 can be suppressed, and the second diaphragm 30 is made to be the outer convex portion 21d. The hitting sound (abnormal noise) when touching can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the inner convex portion 21b is set smaller than the inner concave portion 21a on the outer peripheral portion side (right side in FIG. 8), the distance between the second diaphragm 30 and the second diaphragm 30 is in contact with the outer convex portion 21d. The diaphragm 30 is further deformed and comes into contact with the inner convex portion 21b. Since the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion 21b and the outer convex portion 21d and the outer concave portion 21c are smoothly coupled with a curved surface, the second diaphragm 30 includes the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion. The contact surface extends in the radial direction along the outer concave portion 21c from the outer convex portion 21d, while the contact surface extends in the radial direction along the convex portion 21b. Since the contact surface between the second diaphragm 30 and the partition 30 can be continuously expanded from the radial direction to the circumferential direction, it is possible to prevent the second diaphragm 30 from undergoing sudden elastic deformation. As a result, it is possible to prevent sudden fluid pressure fluctuations from occurring in the third fluid chamber L3 and the first fluid chamber L1, and to suppress a shock feeling due to the sudden fluid pressure fluctuations.

  As described above, the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion 21b are formed so that the distance between the second diaphragm 30 and the second diaphragm 30 gradually increases from the outer peripheral portion toward the radial center portion. When 30 is deformed so as to approach the partition body 20, the second diaphragm 30 gradually expands the contact surface from the outer peripheral portion along the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion 21b toward the radial center.

  Further, the outer concave portion 21c and the inner concave portion 21a are formed such that the facing distance from the second diaphragm 30 gradually increases as the distance from the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion 21b increases in the circumferential direction. . Therefore, when the 2nd diaphragm 30 deform | transforms so that it may approach the partition 20, the 2nd diaphragm 30 goes to the circumferential direction from the outer convex part 21d and the inner convex part 21b, and follows the outer concave part 21c and the inner concave part 21a. The contact surface is expanded little by little to become a restrained state.

  When the second diaphragm 30 changes from the restrained state to the movable state, on the contrary, the contact area is gradually reduced. Since the second diaphragm 30 changes the contact area with the partition 20 little by little when the state (restrained state or movable state) is switched, sudden fluid pressure fluctuations occur in the first liquid chamber L1 and the third liquid chamber L3. Can be suppressed. Therefore, a feeling of shock can be suppressed.

  Further, the inner concave portion 21a is partly formed into a concave spherical shape constituted by a part of the spherical surface S, and the concave spherical inner concave portion 21a is arranged in the circumferential direction. Since the elastic film can be continuously contact-deformed along the concave spherical inner concave portion 21a, the hydraulic pressure fluctuation can be further suppressed, and the shock feeling can be further suppressed.

  Note that the contact area of the second diaphragm 30 with respect to the partition 20 and the remaining unconstrained portion (movable area) can be changed according to the magnitude of the negative pressure introduced into the air chamber R (degree of decompression). it can. In particular, since the second diaphragm 30 has the concave surface portion 32 on the outer periphery of the convex surface portion 31, the concave surface portion 32 extends from the outer peripheral portion according to the magnitude of the negative pressure introduced into the air chamber R (degree of decompression). It is possible to selectively change the state in which the partition 20 is brought into contact with the partition 20 and the state in which the outer periphery to the convex surface 31 are brought into contact with the partition 20. Thereby, the elastic modulus and the natural frequency of the second diaphragm 30 can be selectively changed. Of course, it is possible to provide a protrusion or the like on the surface of the second diaphragm 30 facing the partition 20.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the control type (active type) liquid-filled vibration isolator 1 in which the air chamber R is provided inside and the vibration isolation characteristics can be changed by changing the pressure of the air chamber R from the outside has been described. . In contrast, in the second embodiment, a passive liquid-filled vibration isolator 101 will be described. In addition, about the part same as the part demonstrated in 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the following description is abbreviate | omitted. FIG. 9 is an axial cross-sectional view of the liquid-filled vibration isolator 101 according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the liquid-filled vibration isolator 101 connects the first attachment member 102 attached to the engine side and the cylindrical second attachment member 103 attached to the vehicle body frame side below the engine. And an anti-vibration base 104 made of a rubber-like elastic body. The first mounting member 102 is provided with a bolt hole 2a at the upper end.

  The anti-vibration base 104 is formed in a truncated cone shape from a rubber-like elastic body, and a rubber film 105 covering the inner peripheral surface of the second mounting member 103 is coupled to the lower end portion. An outer periphery of a partition member 110 (described later) is in close contact with the rubber film 105 to form an orifice 116.

  The diaphragm 117 is formed from a rubber-like elastic body into a rubber film shape having a partial spherical shape, and an outer peripheral portion is vulcanized and bonded to an annular support fitting 118. The diaphragm 117 is fixed in a liquid-tight manner by the caulking and fixing of the support fitting 118 between the bottom member 119 and the second mounting member 103 formed in a cup shape. As a result, a liquid enclosure chamber L is formed between the diaphragm 117 and the vibration isolation base 104. The liquid enclosure chamber L is filled with an incompressible liquid (liquid) such as water or ethylene glycol. A mounting bolt 120 projects from the bottom of the bottom member 119.

  The partition member 110 is a member for partitioning the liquid sealing chamber L into the first liquid chamber L1 and the second liquid chamber L2, and includes an elastic partition film 115 configured from a rubber film in a substantially disc shape, and an elastic partition film. The holding member 111,114 which accommodates 115 in an inner peripheral surface side is provided. The holding member 114 is press-fitted into the holding member 111 in a state where the elastic partition film 115 is accommodated between the holding members 111 and 114. The holding member 111 inclines downward as the surface facing the elastic partition film 115 moves from the outer peripheral portion toward the center in the radial direction, and the holding member 114 has the surface facing the elastic partition film 115 from the outer periphery to the center in the radial direction. Increasing slope toward the part.

  When the holding member (lid side) 114 is press-fitted into the holding member (receiving side) 111, the elastic partition film 115 is arranged between the holding portion 112 of the holding member 111 and the holding member 114. Is held with no gap. Further, the partition member 110 is fixed in a liquid-tight manner by the caulking and fixing of the outer peripheral edge 113 of the holding member 111 between the bottom member 119 and the second mounting member 103. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid enclosure chamber L does not leak between the first liquid chamber L1 and the second liquid chamber L2 through the openings 111a and 114a (described later), but only through the orifice 116. It distribute | circulates between the 1st liquid chamber L1 and the 2nd liquid chamber L2.

  Next, the holding members 111 and 114 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. 10 is a plan view of the holding member 111 on the receiving side, and FIG. 11 is a plan view of the holding member 114 on the lid side. As shown in FIG. 10, the holding member 111 is formed with a notch 112 a that communicates with the first liquid chamber L <b> 1 and forms a part of the orifice 116. In addition, the holding member 111 has an annular portion 22 formed on a surface facing the elastic partition film 115 (see FIG. 9), and an outer concave portion 21c, an inner concave portion 21a (concave portion) and an outer portion on the radially inner side thereof. A convex portion 21d and an inner convex portion 21b (convex portion) are formed. An opening 111a penetrating in the thickness direction of the holding member 111 is formed in the inner concave portion 21a. Similarly, the holding member 114 shown in FIG. 11 has an annular portion 22, an outer concave portion 21 c, an inner concave portion 21 a (concave portion), and a surface facing the elastic partition film 115 (see FIG. 9) (back side in FIG. 11). An outer convex portion 21d and an inner convex portion 21b (convex portion) are formed.

  According to the liquid-filled vibration isolator 101, the elastic partition film 115 is movable (unconstrained) between the holding members 111 and 114, so that the liquid pressure between the first liquid chamber L1 and the second liquid chamber L2 is maintained. The fluctuation (hydraulic pressure difference) can be absorbed by the reciprocating deformation of the elastic partition film 115. Therefore, a low dynamic spring characteristic at the time of inputting a small amplitude can be obtained.

  When the liquid-filled vibration isolator 101 has a large amplitude input, the displacement amount of the elastic partition film 115 is regulated by the holding members 111 and 114. Since the membrane rigidity can be increased by the holding members 111 and 114, the attenuation characteristic at the time of inputting a large amplitude can be improved. Since the holding members 111 and 114 include the outer concave portion 21c and the inner concave portion 21a (concave portion), and the outer convex portion 21d and the inner convex portion 21b (convex portion), the holding members 111 and 114 are provided with elastic partitions. When the displacement of the elastic partition film 115 is restricted due to the contact of the film 115, the elastic partition film 115 changes the contact area with the holding members 111 and 114 little by little, as in the first embodiment. As a result, it is possible to suppress a sudden change in hydraulic pressure, and to suppress a shock feeling.

  Further, since the holding member 111 is formed with the opening 111a in the inner concave portion 21a while avoiding the outer convex portion 21d, the outer concave portion 21c, and the inner convex portion 21b, the change in the contact area of the elastic partition film 115 is changed. It can prevent that the effect which relaxes is impaired. That is, since the elastic partition film 115 increases the contact area with the holding member 111 from the outer peripheral portion toward the radial center, the opening 111a is formed in the outer convex portion 21d and the outer concave portion 21c. This is because the effect of reducing the change in the contact area of the elastic partition film 115 may be impaired. Moreover, also when the opening part 111a is formed in the inner convex part 21b coupled to the radial direction of the outer convex part 21d, the effect of the present invention may be similarly impaired.

  Instead of forming the opening 111a in the inner concave portion 21a, or in addition to forming the opening 111a in the inner concave portion 21a, the opening 111a is formed in the central portion in the radial direction of the holding member 111. It is possible. Similarly, it is also possible to form the opening 111a in the radially central portion of the inner convex portion 21b. The energy of the elastic partition film 115 due to the fluid pressure fluctuation is reduced until the elastic partition film 115 comes into contact with the radial center part of the holding member 111 and the radially central part of the inner convex part 21b. Because it can.

  The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be easily guessed.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where four outer concave portions 21c and inner concave portions 21a (concave portions), four outer convex portions 21d and four inner convex portions 21b (convex portions) are formed has been described. It is not necessarily limited to this. The number of the concave portions and the convex portions can be appropriately set as long as it is 2 or more. However, it is desirable that the two or more concave portions and the convex portions are disposed symmetrically with respect to the central portion in the radial direction. This is because the second diaphragm 30 and the elastic partition film 115 (elastic film) are deformed symmetrically.

  In the case where the inner concave portion 21a is formed in a part of the spherical surface S as in the present embodiment, three or more concave portions and convex portions are formed. This is because when the concave spherical surface is arranged around the radial center of the partition 20 and the holding members 111 and 114, the concave spherical surfaces cannot be coupled unless there are three or more concave spherical surfaces.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the centers C1 to C4 of the spherical surfaces S1 to S4 constituting the inner concave portion 21a are located on a plane orthogonal to the axis O (when the spheres S1 to S4 have the same radius) has been described. However, it is not necessarily limited to this. Of course, it is possible to make the spheres S have different radii. However, it is desirable to set the radii of the plurality of spherical surfaces S to be the same as in the present embodiment. This is because, when the spheres S have different radii, the concave portions and the convex portions have different curvatures, so that partial deterioration and elastic reduction are likely to occur in the elastic film that repeatedly deforms.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the inner concave portion 21a is formed as a part of the spherical surface of the spherical surface S has been described. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. Convex portions (outer convex portions 21d and inner convex portions 21b) are radially provided from one central portion in the radial direction on one surface of the partition 20 and the holding members 111 and 114, and a cylindrical surface is provided between the convex portions. Naturally, it is possible to form the concave portion by connecting them using curved surfaces such as conical surfaces. Also in this case, the elastic film can be brought into contact with the convex part and the concave part, and the contact surface of the elastic film can be expanded from the radial direction to the circumferential direction.

  In each of the above embodiments, a concave portion or a convex portion is formed in the partition 20 or the holding members 111 and 114 (displacement regulating members) that regulate the displacement of the second diaphragm 30 or the elastic partition membrane 115 (elastic membrane). However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. Since the concave portion and the convex portion are relative, it is naturally possible to form the convex portion and the concave portion on the second diaphragm 30 and the elastic partition film 115 (elastic film). In addition, it is natural that both the second diaphragm 30 and the elastic partition film 115 (elastic film) and the partition body 20 and the holding members 111 and 114 (displacement regulating members) have the functions of the concave portion and the convex portion. Is possible.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the third liquid chamber L3 and the second orifice 10a are formed by the liquid chamber forming member 10 has been described. However, the liquid chamber forming member 10 is not necessarily required. When the liquid chamber forming member 10 is not provided, the periphery of the second diaphragm 30 is airtightly fixed to the partition 20 by means such as vulcanization adhesion. When the liquid chamber forming member 10 is not provided, the second diaphragm 30 and the vibration isolation base 4 constitute a chamber wall of the first liquid chamber L1.
