Abstract
Disclosed is an engine mount for a vehicle including a membrane, which is an essential component of an engine mount for supporting a powertrain of the vehicle. The membrane may be deformed vertically and radially depending on an input amplitude so as to open or close bypass holes in upper and lower plates depending on the input amplitude. As such, it is possible to easily fulfill a function of isolating vibrations generated by the powertrain during idling and a damping function of controlling the behavior of the powertrain during traveling and it is possible to prevent the generation of abnormal noise attributable to cavitation and rattling phenomena.
Claims11
An engine mount for a vehicle comprising:
- a main rubber formed on an outer surface of a core bush to be assembled with a vehicle body;
- an outer pipe attached to an outer surface of the main rubber and extending downwards;
- an orifice body, which is provided at a circumference thereof with a main flow path for fluid communication between an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber and which is provided in a bottom surface thereof with a second passage hole, the orifice body being mounted on an inner surface of the outer pipe;
- a lower plate comprising a second fluid bypass hole formed in an outer peripheral portion thereof and integrally formed at an inner periphery of the orifice body;
- an upper plate, which comprises a first fluid passage hole formed in an outer peripheral portion thereof so as to communicate with the main flow path, a first fluid bypass hole configured to communicate with the second fluid bypass hole, and a fluid introduction hole formed in a center region thereof, the upper plate being coupled to an upper portion of the orifice body;
- a membrane, which comprises a fluid action recess configured to be aligned with the fluid introduction hole and which has a blocking plate configured to open and close the first fluid bypass hole and the second fluid bypass hole, the membrane being disposed in a space between the lower plate and the upper plate so as to be elastically deformed in a radial direction;
- and
- a diaphragm mounted on a lower portion of the orifice body so as to define the lower fluid chamber.
