Abstract
A mount bush includes a tube member, a shaft member disposed coaxially with an axis of the tube member and having a coil, a first liquid chamber disposed at an upper side in an internal space between the tube member and the shaft member, a second liquid chamber in communication with a lower side of the first liquid chamber and containing a magnetic viscoelastic fluid, and a third liquid chamber in communication with a lower side of the second liquid chamber and having a porous body, wherein the coil is disposed such that a magnetic path that passes through the second liquid chamber in an orientation along at least one of an axial direction and a radial direction is formed through electrical conduction.
Claims7
A mount bush comprising:
- a tube member;
- a shaft member disposed inside the tube member coaxially with an axis of the tube member and having a coil;
- a first liquid chamber disposed at an upper side in an internal space between the tube member and the shaft member in a gravity upward/downward direction;
- a second liquid chamber in communication with a lower side of the first liquid chamber in the gravity upward/downward direction and containing a magnetic viscoelastic fluid;
- and
- a third liquid chamber in communication with a lower side of the second liquid chamber in the gravity upward/downward direction and having a porous body,
- wherein the coil is disposed such that a magnetic path that passes through the second liquid chamber in an orientation along at least one of an axial direction along the axis and a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction is formed through electrical conduction,
- wherein the second liquid chamber includes:
- an axial passage that communicates with the first liquid chamber and that extends in the axial direction;
- and
- a shaft-perpendicular passage that communicates with the axial passage and the third liquid chamber and that extends in the radial direction, and
- wherein the coil is disposed such that a magnetic path, which passes through the axial passage in an orientation along the radial direction and passes through the shaft-perpendicular passage in an orientation along the axial direction, is formed through the electrical conduction.
