Abstract

A long damping orifice 60 having a circular shape as viewed from above and a short linear idle orifice 61 are disposed and the orifices are connected by a common inlet 32, whereas an outlet side is formed separately into a first outlet 52 and a second outlet 53, which is opened and closed by a valve portion 21 which is in a unit with a diaphragm 7. Though the valve portion 21 is open by the negative suction-air pressure of an engine during idling, at this time, since the center of the second outlet 53 is shifted from the center of the valve body 21 toward a flowing direction of fluid flowing through the idle orifice 61, the valve portion 21 is open obliquely to prevent the turbulent flow of fluid in the vicinity of the second outlet 53, switching fluid-sealed mount characteristics rapidly.

A fluid-sealed type anti-vibration rubber device comprising,

a first connecting member mounted to one of a car body side or a vibration member side,
a second connecting member mounted to the other of the car body side or the vibration member side, and
a rubber block disposed between said first connecting member and said second connecting member, a closed space being formed by a portion of said rubber block, said closed space being partitioned into a plurality of liquid chambers by a partitioning member, said liquid chambers being communicated by a short idle orifice having a large passage section area and a long damping orifice having a small passage section area provided in the partitioning member, said idle orifice being open by a valve only during idling and said damping orifice being always open, wherein
said partitioning member includes a first side and a second side and has a passage member therebetween to partition said liquid chambers, said passage member having a predetermined thickness, said first side having an abutting surface upon which said valve seats,
said idle orifice has an outlet opening in said abutting surface forming a portion of said valve and an inlet opening in said second side, said idle orifice outlet opening and said idle orifice inlet opening not overlappingly aligned in the direction of thickness,
said passage member having a liquid passage communicating said inlet opening and said outlet opening of said idle orifice, said liquid passage including a groove which varies in depth in the direction of thickness so as to be deeper at said outlet opening than at said inlet opening such that fluid flowing through said liquid passage is provided with a flow inclined to said first side from said inlet opening to said outlet opening and a flow line of fluid flowing out from said outlet opening is inclined to said first side, and
wherein the outlet center of said idle orifice is shifted from the center of said valve toward a flowing direction of fluid flowing through said idle orifice such that when said valve opens, said valve inclines obliquely to said first side under the pressure force of fluid flowing from said outlet opening.
