DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following, an anti-vibration device according to an embodiment of this disclosure is described in details by referring to the drawings. In the following description, the vertical direction in the drawings is the vertical direction, and the upper side and the lower side in the drawings are respectively referred to as merely the upper side and the lower side.


In FIG. 1A, reference sign 1 is an anti-vibration device according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The anti-vibration device 1 is used in a vibration transmission system having a vibration generation unit for generating high frequency vibration of, e.g., 1000 Hz or more, and particularly 1500 Hz or more, and a vibration reception unit for receiving its vibration. In the vibration transmission system of the present embodiment is, exemplarily, a motor is the vibration generation unit, and a vehicle body (chassis) is the vibration reception unit. Moreover, in the present embodiment, for sake of easiness of description, merely the vibration generated in the vertical direction is considered.


Reference sign 2 is a first mounting member mounted to one member for forming the vibration transmission system. In the present embodiment, the first mounting member 2 is a member for mounting, e.g., an electric motor. The first mounting member 2 is exemplified as metallic members made of iron, etc. Reference sign 3 is a second mounting member mounted to another member for forming the vibration transmission system. The second mounting member 3 is exemplified as members for mounting the vehicle body. The second mounting member 3 is exemplified as metallic members made of iron, etc. In the present embodiment, the first mounting member 2 and the second mounting member 3 are arranged parallel to each other in a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction.


The reference signs 4 are elastic bodies into which vibration is input. The elastic bodies 4 are exemplified as ones made of resins such as rubber and the like. The first mounting member 2 and the second mounting member 3 are respectively connected via adhesion, etc., to the upper ends and the lower ends of the elastic bodies 4. In the present embodiment, the elastic bodies 4 are made into a rectangular prism shape. Here, the shape of the elastic bodies 4 are not limited to rectangular prism shape.


The reference sign 5 is an intermediate plate arranged between the elastic bodies 4 in a manner crossing the vibration input direction (the vertical direction in the present embodiment), and connected to the elastic bodies. The intermediate plate 5 is exemplified as those made of general-purpose resins such as bakelite, polyethylene and the like. The intermediate plate 5 is connected to the elastic bodies 4 via an adhesive, or via vulcanization adhesion. In the present embodiment, the intermediate plate 5 is shaped into a rectangular flat plate. Here, the shape of the intermediate plate 5 is not limited to rectangular flat plate as long as one which can be arranged in a manner crossing between the elastic bodies 4.


Here, the high frequency vibration has wave nature. Here, in the present embodiment, as described below, the high frequency vibration is caught as an elastic wave, and its wave nature is used to reduce the reaction force transmitted to the vehicle body side.


First, in the present embodiment, the intermediate plate 5 has an acoustic impedance Z2 larger than the acoustic impedance Z1 of the elastic bodies 4 (Z1<Z2). In this case, as mentioned below, since the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 is larger than the acoustic impedance Z1 of the elastic bodies 4, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 can be suppressed as a small value.


The acoustic impedance Z1 of the elastic bodies 4 and the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 can be respectively calculated according to the following formula (1) and formula (2).






11·c1=(ρ1·E1)1/2  (1)


ρ1: density of the elastic bodies 4, c1: sound velocity in the elastic bodies 4, E1: elastic modulus of the elastic bodies 4






Z
22·c2=(ρ2*E2)1/2  (2)


ρ2: density of the intermediate plate 5, c2: sound velocity in the intermediate plate 5, E2: elastic modulus of the intermediate plate 5


Next, in the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1B, the intermediate plate 5 is arranged between the elastic bodies 4, in a manner such that a perpendicular line O of the intermediate plate 5, i.e., a perpendicular line O dropped on an outer surface on the vibration input side of the intermediate plate 5, is inclined with respect to the vibration input direction (the vertical direction in the present embodiment) at an angle θ1 (0°<θ1<90°). In this case, as mentioned below, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 is suppressed at a low value as the angle θ1 is enlarged.


Further, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 can be expressed as a theoretical value T of transmittance of elastic wave in the existence of the intermediate plate 5 (hereinafter referred to as merely “the theoretical value T of transmittance”). The theoretical value T of transmittance can be calculated according to the following formula (3).






T=(2·Z2·cosθ1)/(Z2·cosθ1+Z1·cosθ2)  (3)





cosθ2=[1−sin2θ2]1/2  (4)





sinθ2=(c2·sinθ1)/c1  (5)


Namely, the anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment is to reduce the theoretical value T of transmittance, by controlling the acoustic impedances Z1, Z2, and setting the angle θ1 of the intermediate plate 5 to an optimum angle corresponding to the acoustic impedances Z1, Z2.


Here, the FIG. 2A is a graph showing the correlation of the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 and the stress transmission (the theoretical value T of transmittance), when the intermediate plate 5 is arranged on merely one vibration input/output end of the elastic bodies 4, to form an anti-vibration device of a double-layer structure.


In FIG. 2A, the intermediate plate 5 is connected to the lower end of an elastic body 4. In the case of an anti-vibration device of a double-layer structure in which the intermediate plate 5 is connected to the lower end of the elastic body 4, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 is suppressed to a small value as the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 is reduced. However, in the case of FIG. 2A, in order to set the theoretical value T of transmittance less than 1, it is necessary that Z2>Z1. However, as for rubbers, since Z1=1 e6 (1×106)[Pa·s/m3], it is ordinarily impossible to find appropriate materials with an acoustic impedance Z less than this value. Therefore, an anti-vibration device with a double-layer structure as illustrated in FIG. 2A is inappropriate.


Regarding this, FIG. 2B is a graph showing the correlation of the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 and the stress transmission (the theoretical value T of transmittance), when the intermediate plate 5 is arranged between the elastic bodies 4, to form an anti-vibration device of a triple-layer structure.


In FIG. 2B, the intermediate plate 5 is arranged horizontally in a manner orthogonal to the vibration input direction (in this case, the vertical direction), i.e., the perpendicular line O of the intermediate plate 5 is identical (parallel) to the vibration input direction. As illustrated in FIG. 2B, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 is suppressed to a small value as the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 is larger than the acoustic impedance Z1 of the elastic bodies 4 (e.g., rubber).



FIG. 2C is a graph showing the correlation of the angle θ1 of the perpendicular line O of the intermediate plate 5 to the vibration input direction (the vertical direction) and the stress transmission (the theoretical value T of transmittance), when the intermediate plate 5 is arranged between the elastic bodies 4 to form an anti-vibration device of a triple-layer structure. In FIG. 2C, the theoretical value T of transmittance was calculated, where the elastic bodies 4 are made of rubber, and the intermediate plate 5 is made of epoxy resin.


As illustrated in FIG. 2C, the stress transmission from the elastic bodies 4 on the upper side through the intermediate plate 5 to the lower side is suppressed to a small value as the angle θ1 is enlarged. When the angle θ1 approaches a critical angle θc, the stress transmission becomes zero. Namely, the critical angle θc refers to a total reflection when the input vibration is caught as an elastic wave. If the materials of the elastic bodies 4 and the intermediate plate 5 are determined, the critical angle θc can be calculated according to, e.g., the formula (5) (θc=sin−1(c1/c2)), as the θ1 when the θ2 in FIG. 1B is 90°. In the case of rubber or bakelite, θc=approximately 22°. From the viewpoint of reducing the stress transmission due to elastic wave, it is preferable that θc≦θ1. Therefore, by arranging the intermediate plate 5 between the elastic bodies 4 in an inclined manner, setting the anti-vibration device to a triple-layer structure, and increasing the angle θ1, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 is suppressed to a small value.


Therefore, by arranging the intermediate plate 5 between the elastic bodies 4 in an inclined manner, setting the anti-vibration device to a triple-layer structure, and simultaneously setting the acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 larger than the acoustic impedance Z1 of the elastic bodies 4 and enlarging the angle θ1, the stress transmission from the first mounting member 2 to the second mounting member 3 is suppressed to a small value.


The acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 is preferably selected from those satisfying Z2>1 e6. In the following Table 1, materials with an acoustic impedance higher than rubber are described exemplarily.

In the present embodiment, further, high frequency vibration is reduced via damping.



FIGS. 3A and 3B show the results obtained by performing analysis via finite element method (FEM) to the anti-vibration device 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1A, when the damping ratio ζ of the intermediate plate 5 is set to ζ=0 and impact (impulse input) is applied to the first mounting member 2, where FIG. 3A is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the reaction force transmitted to the output (the second mounting member 3) side of the anti-vibration device 1, and FIG. 3B is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the frequency of the vibration transmitted to the second mounting member 3 side.


In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, the reaction force is larger than the FIGS. 4A to 6A mentioned below, and as illustrated in FIG. 3B, the frequency distribution of approximately 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz is large. Moreover, the frequency distribution of approximately 4000 Hz to 5000 Hz are scattered as well.



FIGS. 4A and 4B show the results obtained by performing analysis via finite element method (FEM) to the anti-vibration device 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1A, when the damping ratio of the intermediate plate 5 is set to a damping ratio corresponding to iron ζ=0.0005 and impact (impulse input) is applied to the first mounting member 2, where FIG. 4A is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the reaction force transmitted to the second mounting member 3, and FIG. 4B is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the frequency of the vibration transmitted to the second mounting member 3 side.


In this case as well, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, the reaction force when impact is input is still large, and as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the frequency distribution of approximately 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz is large. Moreover, the frequency distribution of approximately 4000 Hz to 5000 Hz are scattered as well.



FIGS. 5A and 5B show the results obtained by performing analysis via finite element method (FEM) to the anti-vibration device 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1A, when the damping ratio ζ of the intermediate plate 5 is set to a damping ratio corresponding to general-purpose resin ζ=0.02 and impact (impulse input) is applied to the first mounting member 2, where FIG. 5A is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the reaction force transmitted to the second mounting member 3 side, and FIG. 5B is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the frequency of the vibration transmitted to the second mounting member 3 side.


In this case as well, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, the reaction force is reduced, and as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the frequency distribution of approximately 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz and around 2500 Hz is reduced. Moreover, the frequency distribution of approximately 4000 Hz to 5000 Hz is significantly reduced.



FIGS. 6A and 6B show the results obtained by performing analysis via finite element method (FEM) to the anti-vibration device 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1A, when the damping ratio ζ of the intermediate plate 5 is set to a damping ratio corresponding to a maximum damping ratio of resin ζ=0.1 and impact (impulse input) is applied to the first mounting member 2, where FIG. 6A is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the reaction force transmitted to the second mounting member 3 side, and FIG. 6B is a graph obtained via transient response analysis on the frequency of the vibration transmitted to the second mounting member 3 side.


In this case as well, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, the reaction force is reduced as compared to FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A, and as illustrated in FIG. 6B, the frequency distribution of approximately 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz and around 2500 Hz is reduced. Moreover, the frequency distribution of approximately 4000 Hz to 5000 Hz is further significantly reduced.


Here, the damping ratio ζ can be calculated according to the following general formula (6) as a Rayleigh damping.





ζ=[(α/ωi)+β·ωi)]/2=η/2  (6)





ωi=2πfi  (7)


ωi: angular frequency, α,β: coefficient, i: the ith eigenmode, η: loss factor, fi: frequency [Hz]


Here, the anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment is further described in details by referring to FIG. 1C.


The anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment has an acoustic impedance Z2 of the intermediate plate 5 larger than the elastic bodies 4, and the perpendicular line O of the intermediate plate 5 is arranged between the elastic bodies 4 in a manner inclined at an angle θ1 (0°<θ1<90°) with respect to the vibration input direction. Therefore, when high frequency vibration is input into the first mounting member 2, among the vibration input into the elastic bodies 4, at least the high frequency vibration acts as wave, and is refracted and transmits through the intermediate plate 5, or is reflected on the surface of the intermediate plate 5. Therefore, according to the anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment, without using an intermediate mass formed of two intermediate members between the elastic bodies 4, high frequency vibration is reduced by reflecting and refracting the high frequency vibration on the boundary surface of the elastic bodies 4 and the intermediate plate 5. Moreover, since an intermediate mass formed of two intermediate members similarly as a conventional anti-vibration device is unnecessary, increase of the weight can be suppressed.


In addition, in the anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment, since the intermediate plate 5 has a damping ratio ζ=0.02 or more, the high frequency vibration is damped by being refracted and transmitting through the intermediate plate 5. Therefore, according to the anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment, by setting the damping ratio of the intermediate plate 5 to ζ=0.02 or more, the high frequency vibration is further reduced.


The anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment preferably satisfies 0°<θ1≦45°. In that case, it is possible to prevent peeling of the elastic bodies 4 during vibration input due to the state where the intermediate plate 5 is approximately orthogonal between the elastic bodies 4, and to simultaneously reduce the high frequency vibration.


Therefore, according to the anti-vibration device 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a novel anti-vibration device capable of reducing high frequency vibration. Here, the intermediate plate 5 may be of various shapes, as long as arranged between the elastic bodies 4 in a manner crossing the vibration input direction and connected to the elastic bodies 4. The intermediate plate 5 is exemplified as a V-shaped roof-like plate material having a linear apex formed by connecting respectively one side of two plate-like portions, each plate-like portion inclined away from the apex with respect to the vibration input direction, where the apex is connected to the elastic bodies 4 so as to be arranged to the vibration input side; an umbrella-like or bowl-like plate material having a plate-like portion inclined from one apex away with respect to the vibration input direction so as to form a conical or pyramidal shape, where the apex is connected to the elastic bodies 4 so as to be arranged on the vibration input side, etc.
