Abstract
A hydraulic engine mount with two channels is provided, which reduces vibration effectively in ignition mode and rough road mode, improves performance in noise, vibration, harshness (NVH) in a vehicle with stop/start function. The hydraulic engine mount with two channels, provided with a dividing means, comprises a first channel formed along a first path of the dividing means and providing a moving path of fluid between an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber, a second channel formed along a second path of the dividing means and providing a moving path of fluid between the upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber, and a solenoid device having a first solenoid valve body installed in the housing and configured for opening and closing the second channel.
Claims8
A hydraulic engine mount having a dividing means for dividing an inner space of a housing into an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber, the hydraulic engine mount comprising:
- a first channel formed along a first path of the dividing means and providing a moving channel of fluid between the upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber;
- a second channel formed along a second path of the dividing means and providing a moving channel of fluid between the upper fluid chamber and the lower fluid chamber;
- and
- a solenoid device installed in the housing and having a first solenoid valve body for opening and closing the second channel,
- wherein the dividing means forms an air chamber below a membrane, which is connected to an external atmosphere through the membrane installed on a top surface,
- wherein the solenoid device comprises a second solenoid valve body for opening and closing an entrance of the air chamber, and
- wherein if the first solenoid valve body and the second solenoid valve body close the second channel and the air chamber the fluid operates through the first channel generating the peak damping at a first frequency range of relatively low frequencies and maintains the closed state of the air chamber so as to increase damping force, wherein if the first solenoid valve body and the second solenoid valve body open the second channel and the air chamber the fluid operates through the first and second channels generating a peak damping at a second frequency range of relatively high frequencies so as to reduce damping force.
