Abstract

The invention relates to a spring strut mount (1), comprising a damper element and a bearing housing (2, 3), with a first (2) and a second (3) housing part, wherein the housing parts (2, 3) can be screwed to one another by means of a thread in a manner which encloses the damping element, wherein the housing parts (2, 3) have a latching device (5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13) which makes screwing together possible but prevents release of the thread. The invention is based on the problem of improving a spring strut mount (1) in such a way that the housing parts (2, 3) cannot detach from one another during operation. Said problem is solved by virtue of the fact that the housing parts (2, 3) have a latching device (5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13) which makes screwing together possible but prevents release of the thread.

Abstract

A hydraulic mount includes a closable bypass and a decoupling membrane. When the bypass is opened, however, the main effect that can be achieved by opening the bypass, namely the decrease in the spring rate at higher frequencies, is worsened. It is thus desirable to render the decoupling membrane ineffective when the bypass is open. The aim is achieved in that the closure device of the bypass includes blocking elements for blocking the decoupling membrane in the first switching position of the closure device when the bypass is open and can be released in the second position of the closure device when the bypass is closed.

Abstract

A two vacuum actuated switch mechanism is provided within an engine or hydromount. First and second ports are provided along a peripheral portion of an inertia track assembly. A decoupler or vacuum diaphragm is selectively exposed to vacuum through a first port. Under the influence of the vacuum, the decoupler can no longer oscillate. If vacuum is applied only to the decoupler, and not and idle diaphragm, the fluid is forced through a low frequency inertia track which creates high levels of damping and low frequencies. If vacuum is also applied to the decoupler and the idle diaphragm, the high frequency inertia track is opened and causes the fluid to flow therethrough. This creates a high frequency dynamic rate dip. Alternatively, if no vacuum is applied to either the decoupler or the idle diaphragm, the decoupler is allowed to freely oscillate creating a decoupled state for low input displacements. Higher input displacements results in fluids being forced through the low frequency inertia track. An integrated accumulator is disposed between the port and the decoupler to reduce or eliminate air resonance response, buffering the pumping effect of the decoupler in a decoupled state.

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulic mounting (1) comprising a closable bypass (6) and a decoupling membrane (7). When the bypass (6) is opened, however, the main effect that can be achieved by opening the bypass (6), namely the decrease in the spring rate at higher frequencies, is worsened. It is thus desirable to render the decoupling membrane (7) ineffective when the bypass (6) is open. Said aim is achieved in that the closure device (17) of the bypass (6) comprises locking elements (19), by means of which the decoupling membrane (7) can be locked in the first switching position of the closure device (17) when the bypass (6) is open and can be released in the second position of the closure device (17) when the bypass (6) is closed.

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulically dampened bearing (3) comprising an adjustable overflow channel (30). The overflow channel (30) should be adjustable as continuously as possible in more than two switching positions via a predetermined frequency range. In order to determine the value of the flow cross-section of the overflow channel (30), further sensors are to be avoided. This can be achieved in that an adjustment element (22) can be adjusted, by means of a step motor (18) that can be controlled by an electronic circuit (31) and a transmission device (19, 21), with respect to a bypass opening (24) designed as a conical surface, wherein the rotatory movement of the step motor (18) can be converted into a translational movement by a transmission device (19, 21) and can be transmitted to the adjustment element (22).

Abstract

A hydromount assembly includes a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber that communicate with one another through an inertia track. The inertia track is interposed between the first and second fluid chambers, and is used as a fluid actuating plunger to move relative to at least one of the first and second chambers in response to vibration to pump fluid from the first chamber to the second chamber, and vice versa, through the inertia track. An opening extends through the first and second fluid chambers and the inertia track and receives a shaft therein. The inertia track is secured to the shaft so that axial movement of the shaft results in axial movement of the inertia track. Elastomeric portions of the hydromount may be differently tuned from one another. The center mount hydromount may be selectively assembled with a body mount, or the body mount integrated into the hydromount whereby the center mount arrangement increases the functionality of the damper.

Abstract

In a hydraulic mount (2) according to the invention, a support body (4) is attached resiliently between two fastening means (6, 7) which are arranged such that the spacing between them can be varied. In this hydraulic mount (2), two hydraulic chambers (10a, 10b) which are connected to one another in a volume-variable manner by means of a damping duct (14) are separated from one another by a separating plate (12). A bypass (20) which is to be arranged parallel to said damping duct (14) and can be closed off by means of a closure element (18a), and a decoupling diaphragm (18) which likewise acts parallel to said damping duct (14), should be of simple and uncomplicated design. Furthermore, the decoupling diaphragm (18) should be positioned in a precise manner and such that it will not slip. For this purpose, the decoupling diaphragm (18) and the bypass closure element (18a) form a common, single-piece component (18, 18a), wherein the diaphragm central part (18a), which serves as a bypass equalizing diaphragm and closure element, is preferably of sack-like design and forms an equalizing chamber (10c) which is assigned to the bypass (20). The invention can be used not only as an engine mount but also as a sleeve in chassis and assembly mounts.

Abstract

Disclosed is a hydraulic bearing (2) comprising a working chamber (12a) and a compensation chamber (12b) which are interconnected via at least one throttle duct (14) and at least one bypass duct (18) that is connected thereto in parallel and can be closed by means of an electromagnetic valve. The throttle duct (16) and the bypass duct (18) including the valve are disposed in a plate (14) that separates the chambers (12a, 12b) from each other. The volumes (12) of the working chamber (12a) and the compensation chamber (12b), which are filled with hydraulic liquid, can be alternately modified by stressing and relieving a rubber part (4). In order to avoid having to permanently supply the bypass circuit with power, the electromagnetic valve is provided with a linear actuator and a transversally movable slide (20). The linear actuator is composed of a magnetic circuit (28) encompassing an electrically impinged coil (34) and a permanent magnet (30). At least one small plate or pin (38a, ) made of ferromagnetic material is arranged in the separating plate (14) made of plastic or non-magnetic metal in such a way that said small plate or pin (38a, ) enters into the attractive zone of the magnetic circuit (28) in at least one of the final positions of the slide (20). The bypass valve does not need to be permanently supplied with power. Preferably, the coil (34) is supplied with power via an axially mounted plug contact (36). The inventive hydraulic bearing is used especially as a motor bearing in a motor vehicle.

Abstract

The invention relates to a bearing, in particular chassis bearing for the rear axle of a motor vehicle, with an outer bearing sleeve, an inner bearing sleeve, at least one elastomer body arranged between the outer and inner bearing sleeves and two chambers which are arranged laterally opposite each other on the outer bearing sleeve. The chambers each have an adjusting element. The adjusting elements are displaceable. When subjected to pressure, the adjusting elements are displaced inwards against the inner bearing sleeve. The adjusting elements can be clamped in their axial position by clamping rings which can be reduced in size radially, for example by means of air pressure. The inner bearing sleeve is thereby fixed and the rigidity of the bearing increased.
