Abstract
Description
- The present invention pertains to a hydraulic vibration isolation mount for automotive vehicle applications, in particular, and including a mechanism for selectively varying the volume of an orifice track between a pumping chamber and a reservoir of the mount to vary the vibration isolation characteristics of the mount.
- Hydraulic engine and powertrain mounts have been developed which are generally characterized by a partition separating a fluid pumping chamber from a fluid reservoir, the pumping chamber being defined also by an elastomer mount body and the reservoir being delimited by a flexible diaphragm. Dynamic stiffness of the mount is determined by an orifice track formed in the partition for communicating fluid between the pumping chamber and the reservoir. Mounts have also been developed which include a decoupler exposed to fluid in the pumping chamber and/or the reservoir and operable to reduce damping of relatively low amplitude, high frequency vibrations.
- In the development of hydraulic engine mounts for various vehicle applications, the ability to “tune” the mount to a particular vehicle without removing it from the vehicle would be particularly useful during the so-called vehicle ride or occupant comfort “tuning” or development phase of the vehicle development. In conventional vehicle ride development for a new vehicle design, for example, it is not unusual to create between ten and twenty specific mount configurations and variations, and swap each of these parts into and out of the vehicle during testing until the proper “tuning” or isolation characteristics of the mount are achieved. Still further, for certain mount applications, it may be desirable to substantially continuously vary the vibration isolation characteristics of the mount.
- Accordingly, there is a strong desire to provide an engine or powertrain mount which may be easily adjusted without removing the mount from the vehicle for vehicle development purposes and also for use in applications where a so called active or semi-active mount is needed or desired. It is to these ends that the present invention has been developed.
- The present invention provides an improved engine or powertrain mount of a hydraulic type which may be adjusted or “tuned” over a range of vibration frequencies to improve the damping or isolation characteristics of the mount and without removing the mount from its working position.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a hydraulic engine mount is provided which includes a partition or orifice track assembly characterized by opposed orifice plates, an orifice track formed by one of the plates and a membrane interposed the orifice track and a substantially coextensive annular fluid chamber which may be filled with pressure fluid to deflect the membrane to change the volume and cross sectional area of the orifice track, thereby changing the mount vibration isolation characteristics. The annular chamber is in communication with an actuator for adjusting the volume of fluid in the annular chamber and the distortion or deflection of the membrane. In this way, the volume and cross sectional area of the orifice track may be adjusted to selectively vary the tuning or vibration isolation characteristics of the mount without removing the mount from its working position.
- The configuration of the mount of the present invention may be such as to provide a so-called active or semi-active mount for production vehicle applications as well as a mount used for research or development purposes without requiring the construction of a large number of mounts with different fluid flow and vibration damping characteristics and without suffering the time required to assemble and disassemble the mount with respect to the structure supported thereby.
- Accordingly, the invention reduces the number of prototype mount test iterations necessary during a mount and engine development project and improved vibration isolation characteristics may be determined through the ability to make direct comparisons of mount performance by selectively adjusting the so called dynamic stiffness of the mount.
- Those skilled in the art will further appreciate the above mentioned advantages and superior features of the invention together with other important aspects thereof on reading the detailed description which follows in conjunction with the drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal central section view of a mechanically tunable hydraulic engine mount in accordance with the invention;
- FIG. 2 is a detail section view taken generally from the line2-2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a detail section view taken generally from the line3-3 of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing dynamic stiffness verses frequency for the mount shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 for selected cross sectional areas and volumes of the orifice track; and
- FIG. 5 is a diagram similar to FIG. 4 but indicating the damping characteristics of the mount shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 versus vibration frequency.
- In the description which follows, like parts are marked throughout the specification and drawing with the same reference numerals, respectively. The drawing figures are not necessarily to scale and certain features may be shown in schematic or rather generalized form in the interest of clarity and conciseness.
- Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a hydraulic powertrain or engine mount in accordance with the present invention and generally designated by the
numeral 10. Themount 10 is characterized by a generallycylindrical elastomer body 12 having a somewhatfrustoconical portion 14 encapsulating aninsert 16 for an upstanding threadedpost mounting member 18. Thebody 12 is suitably connected to apartition 20 comprising an orifice plate assembly characterized by a generally cylindrical planarupper orifice plate 22 and a cooperating, generally cylindrical planarlower orifice plate 24. A somewhat cylindrical can shapedbase member 26 supports asecond mounting member 28 and is operable to secure a generally cylindricalflexible elastomer diaphragm 30 to thelower orifice plate 24. Theelastomer body 12 includes ametal insert 32 encapsulated in the elastomer of the body and deformable to provide a circumferential inward turnedflange 34 and cooperatingshoulder 36 between which thepartition 20, thediaphragm 30 and thebase member 26 are forcibly joined together, as illustrated. Aninternal interlock member 38 is secured to themounting member 18 by asuitable connector 40 and is disposed in a fluid filledpumping chamber 42 formed between thebody 12 and thepartition 20. A second fluid chamber orreservoir 44 is formed between thediaphragm 40 and thepartition 20, as illustrated. - The
lower orifice plate 24 is configured to provide a substantially circumferential annular ringshaped passage 46 formed therein and known in the art as an orifice track. Thepassage 46 opens through aport 48, see FIG. 2, into thepumping chamber 42. Aport 50, FIG. 1, opens into thereservoir 44 at a circumferentially spaced point along theannular track 46. Accordingly, when theelastomer body 12 is deflected relative to thepartition 20 and thebase member 26, hydraulic fluid, such as a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, is pumped between thepumping chamber 42 and thereservoir 44 through theport 48, theorifice track 46 and theport 50. The elongated passage formed by theorifice track 46 provides a certain resistance to flow of fluid between thechamber 42 and thereservoir 44 which affects the dynamic stiffness and vibration isolation or damping characteristics of themount 10 in a known way. - The
partition 20 may also include a flexible elastomer disk shapeddecoupler member 52 disposed between theorifice plates pumping chamber 42 by way of a series ofports 56, see FIG. 2 also. Thereservoir 44 is also exposed to the opposite side of thedecoupler member 52 through a series ofports 58, FIG. 1, which may be arranged in a pattern similar to that of theports 56. Thedecoupler member 52 is operable to flex upwardly and downwardly in a small clearance space formed between theorifice plates mount 10. - Referring further to FIGS. 1, 2 and3, the
partition 20 is further characterized by a mount tuning chamber comprising anannular recess 60 which is not entirely circumferential, as shown in FIG. 2. The tuning chamber orrecess 60 is isolated from theorifice track 46 by a deformableannular membrane 62 secured between theorifice plates orifice track 46 cannot commingle with fluid in the recess orchamber 60. - As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the almost circumferential
annular tuning chamber 60 is in communication with apassage 66 opening into aspace 68 formed by a syringetype actuator assembly 70 of themount 10.Actuator assembly 70 includes acylinder housing 71 which may be formed integral withorifice plate 22, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown by way of example, a rolling diaphragm type piston 72 is disposed in abore 69 inhousing 71. Piston 72 delimits thespace 68 so that a suitable hydraulic fluid therewithin may be forced to flow into and out of thechamber 60. Asuitable actuator 74 is operably connected to the rolling diaphragm piston 72 to move same to selected positions to force fluid into theannular tuning chamber 60 or to allow fluid to flow fromchamber 60 into thespace 68, depending on the position of the piston 72. - For example, if the piston72 is moved toward a
transverse end wall 77 of theactuator assembly 70, fluid is displaced into thetuning chamber 60 and distends themembrane 62 into theorifice track 46 thereby reducing the volume of the track and its cross sectional area. Conversely, if the piston 72 is retracted away fromwall 77, the resilient nature of themembrane 60 will cause it to relax and retract thereby increasing the cross sectional area and volume of theorifice track 46. In this way, theactuator assembly 70 may be adjusted to vary the cross sectional area and volume of theorifice track 46 and the vibration isolation characteristics of themount 10. - The cross sectional area of the
orifice track 46 is thus operable to be selectively varied. A reduced cross sectionalarea orifice track 46 will present a reduced frequency of resonance of the fluid between thepumping chamber 42 and thereservoir 44 thereby increasing the dynamic stiffness of themount 10 at lower vibration frequencies. Conversely, by increasing the cross sectional area of theorifice track 46 by allowing fluid to flow out ofchamber 60 and into theactuator space 68, themembrane 62 may be displaced upwardly, viewing FIG. 1, increasing the cross sectional area and volume of theorifice track 46 and a higher resonance frequency of fluid between thepumping chamber 42 and thereservoir 44 thereby increasing the dynamic stiffness of themount 10 at higher vibration frequencies. - The
actuator assembly 70 may be manual or remotely controllable. For example, theactuator member 74 may be suitably secured on theactuator housing 71 for rotation relative thereto and the piston 72 may include a suitable threadedpiston rod 73 cooperable with theactuator member 74 and responsive to rotation thereof to move the piston 72 axially within thespace 68 toward and away from theend wall 77. A remotely controllable electric and/orhydraulic actuator 79, FIG. 2, may be operably connected to theactuator member 74 or directly to the piston 72 to selectively position the piston and the amount of fluid forced into thetuning chamber 60, and thus the distortion of themembrane 62. - Referring now to FIG. 4, there is illustrated a diagram indicating the change in dynamic stiffness exhibited by the
mount 10 for selected frequencies as a consequence of increasing and decreasing the volume and cross sectional area of theorifice track 46. Thecurve 90 is a baseline curve whereas thecurve 92 illustrates the dynamic stiffness characteristics of themount 10 at selected frequencies for an increased cross sectional area of theorifice track 46 than presented by the baseline curve.Curve 94 indicates the dynamic stiffness of themount 10 for a reduced cross sectional and volume oforifice track 46. - In like manner, the vibration damping characteristics of the
mount 10 are shown in FIG. 5 whereincurve 96 is the baseline curve andcurves mount 10 for increased volume and cross sectional area and reduced volume and cross sectional area fororifice track 46, respectively. Thus, it will be appreciated from the data illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 that the vibration isolation or damping characteristics of themount 10 may be modified by modifying the fluid volume and cross sectional area of the passage forming theorifice track 46 by suitable distortion of themembrane 62 in the manner described above. - The construction and operation of the
mount 10 is believed to be understandable to those of ordinary skill in the art based on the foregoing description. Although a preferred embodiment of a tunable hydraulic mount in accordance with the invention has been described in detail herein, those skilled in the art will further appreciate that themount 10 may be modified in selected ways without departing from the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
