Description

[0002] The traditional rubber bushing has limited damping, which is determined by the rubber material and generally does not exceed 10°, and often cannot quickly attenuate the vehicle body vibration caused by the rapid acceleration or deceleration of the bumpy road, and the use range is more and more limited. The damping hysteresis angle of the hydraulic bushing is much larger than that of the rubber bushing, and can provide large damping characteristics under low-frequency excitation, but the first-generation product with fixed structure is currently applied in the market, and the damping and stiffness adjustment modes are relatively limited. The damping is adjustable only at low frequency and large amplitude, and the stiffness can only be adjusted by the hardness of the rubber itself. In the case of low frequency and large amplitude, large damping can be provided to meet the performance design requirements near a certain frequency, but the vibration isolation performance at high frequency cannot be improved. In addition, the adjustable range of the damping is narrow, and when the steering wheel vibration and brake vibration frequency overlap with the suspension swing vibration frequency, the road noise of the whole vehicle will be large, and the requirements for the whole vehicle NVH need to consider the vibration isolation performance requirements of the low frequency band and the high frequency band.

[0032] In the present application, the inner tube and the outer tube are concentrically sleeved to form a containing space, the rubber main spring is filled in the containing space to form a hydraulic bushing, which can provide damping and attenuate the vibration energy transmitted from the outside.

[0054] As an example, the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 are concentrically sleeved to form a containing space, and the rubber main spring 3 is filled in the containing space to form a hydraulic bushing, which can provide damping and attenuate the vibration energy transmitted from the outside. Among them, the inner tube 1 is a cylindrical steel tube, the outer tube 2 is a thin-walled steel tube, the rubber main spring 3 is vulcanized between the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2, the outer tube 2 is in interference fit with the rubber main spring 3, and the outer tube 2 is shrunk riveting and press-fitted to ensure the sealing property.

In the example, the dynamic adjustment assembly 7 is arranged in the inertia passage 6, and the dynamic adjustment assembly 7 is switched to be in a static state or a moving state according to the excitation received by the hydraulic bushing, so as to switch the large damping performance and the high dynamic stiffness performance, to achieve dynamic balance of the pressure in the liquid chamber 5, to realize stiffness decoupling of the hydraulic bushing, to obtain the required damping performance and dynamic stiffness performance, and to be conducive to vibration and noise reduction.

The sealing protrusion 34 extending from the edges of the two ends of the main body part 33 mainly plays a sealing role after the outer tube 2 is assembled. The hydraulic bushing further includes a main spring skeleton 35 arranged outside the main body part 33 and outside the sealing protrusion 34, which mainly plays a supporting and shaping role so that the rubber main spring 3 can have greater radial rigidity in the solid direction to resist deformation and improve the service life.

[0073] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the inner side of the inner tube 1 is provided with a groove 11 pointing to the liquid chamber 5; and the outer side of the inner tube 1 is provided with a wave-shaped structure 12.

[0074] As an example, the inner side of the inner tube 1 is provided with a groove 11 pointing to the liquid chamber 5, which is used as a manufacturing mark direction, and the purpose is to design a boss or an arrow mark originally formed on the rubber main spring 3 on the inner tube 1, which can avoid stress concentration of the mark body and improve the service life of the rubber main spring 3 according to past real vehicle tests. The outer side of the inner tube 1 is provided with a wave-shaped structure 12, which can increase the contact area with the limiting coating layer 10 and improve the adhesion.

[0075] The embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle.

[0076] As an example, the complete hydraulic bushing can be directly press-fitted on the swing arm body, connected between the wheel and the auxiliary frame to realize the guiding and force transmission functions of the swing arm, the obtained low-frequency large-damping characteristics can solve the problems of steering wheel vibration and brake judder, and the decoupled high-frequency low-dynamic stiffness characteristics can improve the vibration isolation and road noise influence. The dynamic adjusting assembly 7 is arranged in the inertia channel 6, in a low-frequency large-amplitude excitation (the frequency band is between 15 Hz and 20 Hz), the dynamic adjusting assembly 7 is in a static state, the inertia channel 6 is a non-decoupled channel, and the low-frequency large-damping performance is provided through the non-decoupled channel; in a high-frequency small-amplitude excitation (a frequency band with a frequency value greater than 20 Hz), the dynamic adjusting assembly 7 is in a motion state, the inertia channel 6 is a decoupled channel, the stiffness decoupling is realized, the liquid flow direction and flow are changed through the decoupled channel, lower dynamic stiffness is obtained, and dynamic balance of pressure is achieved. In the example, the dynamic adjusting assembly 7 is arranged in the inertia channel 6, the dynamic adjusting assembly 7 can be switched to be in a static state or a motion state according to the excitation received by the hydraulic bushing, so as to realize switching of the large-damping performance and the high-dynamic stiffness performance, the inner and outer pressures of the liquid chamber 5 reach dynamic balance, the stiffness decoupling of the hydraulic bushing is realized, the required damping performance and dynamic stiffness performance are obtained, and this is beneficial to vibration reduction and noise reduction.

[0077] The hydraulic bushing in the application is provided with a dynamic adjustment assembly 7. The liquid flow mechanism in the liquid chamber 5 is controlled through the dynamic adjustment assembly 7, the stiffness decoupling is realized, the damping and stiffness are dynamically adjusted through the pressure adjustment, and the target requirement of performance optimization is achieved (refer to Figure 9 Performance prediction a); the through hole 8 is used for the liquid to enter the first circulation channel 61 in the non-decoupling mode, and the through hole stepped hole 9 is used for the liquid to enter the second circulation channel 62 in the decoupling mode. The mutual transformation of the first circulation channel 61 and the second circulation channel 62 and the change of the liquid flow direction make the dynamic stiffness-frequency curve and the hysteresis angle-frequency curve have unchanged characteristic points under different amplitude excitations, that is, the performance of the key frequency points is less affected by the amplitude change (for example Figure 10 Performance prediction b). In the low frequency band, due to the large pressure difference, the floating diaphragm 72 is lifted or flattened to the limit position, the stiffness is large, the liquid can only flow through the first circulation channel 61 and the through hole 8 on the flow channel plate 4, and large damping is provided; in the high frequency band, the flow amount of the liquid between the two liquid chambers 5 through the first circulation channel 61 and the through hole 8 is small or almost no flow, the channel tends to be self-locked, and large damping cannot be obtained to attenuate vibration, at this time, the flow guide valve 71 and the floating diaphragm 72 provided in the stepped hole 9 on the second circulation channel 62 play a role. The floating diaphragm 72 is floating and can move in the axial direction of the second mounting hole 92. The liquid flows through the outer edge of the floating diaphragm 72 to change the flow direction. Because the stiffness of the floating diaphragm 72 is small, the flowing liquid can pass through the deformation of the floating diaphragm 72 to achieve dynamic balance of the pressure, and stiffness decoupling is realized (refer to Figure 11 Hydraulic bushing channel parameter model), under high frequency small amplitude excitation, large damping and low dynamic stiffness can also be provided, and the problem of large road noise of the automobile at high frequency is solved, and the cost change of the traditional hydraulic bushing is not large.

[0078] Refer to Figure 12 Decoupling before and after the damping and stiffness performance comparison chart, the resonance frequency band of the automobile unsprung mass is between 15Hz and 20Hz, the first circulation channel 61 and the through hole 8 on the structure realize large damping, and the damping hysteresis angle delay appears near the resonance frequency band to reach the peak value, the stiffness design of the structure itself can realize large damping and wider frequency range. When high frequency small amplitude excitation occurs, the floating diaphragm 72 plays a role, and stiffness decoupling is realized. The first circulation channel 61 in the circumferential direction tends to be self-locked, the floating diaphragm 72 can move in the axial direction of the second mounting hole 92, the flow direction and flow of the liquid are changed through the change of the opening and closing amount and the flow guide valve 71, lower dynamic stiffness is obtained, and dynamic balance of the pressure is achieved. For the fixed structure of the hydraulic bushing, most manufacturers adjust the rubber hardness to realize the stiffness performance, but the decoupling structure can realize performance optimization through pressure adjustment.

[0079] The application changes the liquid flow mechanism in the liquid chamber 5 through the dynamic adjusting component 7, realizes the characteristics of low frequency large damping and high frequency low dynamic stiffness, provides low frequency performance through the non-decoupling inertia channel 6, and changes the liquid flow through the floating diaphragm 72 to decouple the high frequency performance. Figure 13 The simulation comparison of the decoupling structure can reduce the vibration isolation rate by 50%, reduce the noise by 5dB-8dB, and improve the vehicle comfort index by 30%.

[0080] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the application and is not used to limit the application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
