Abstract
A belt pulley structure of an engine is provided to prevent abnormal noise from generating between a belt pulley and a torsional vibration damper. The belt pulley structure includes a stepped portion that is formed in a shape that blocks a cavity in a radial direction thereof. The cavity is formed at a portion where a belt pulley and a torsional vibration damper face each other.
Claims7
A belt pulley structure of an engine, comprising:
- a stepped portion formed in a shape that blocks a cavity in a radial direction, wherein the cavity is provided at a portion where a belt pulley and a torsional vibration damper face each other;
- an inertial ring coupled to the torsional vibration damper along a circumferential direction thereof;
- wherein the stepped portion is formed to be stepped at one surface of the inertial ring with a protruding shape that extends towards the belt pulley;
- a pulley decoupler coupled to the belt pulley;
- a damper rubber disposed on an inner side of the inertial ring;
- and
- a damper hub disposed on an inner side of the damper rubber, wherein the damper hub is directly coupled to the pulley decoupler;
- wherein the cavity generates resonance due to vibration of the engine and the pulley decoupler in a specific frequency band;
- and
- wherein sound waves generated by the cavity are blocked by the stepped portion.
