Accordingly, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplary of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the present invention.
[0030] The drawings included in the specification and forming a part thereof illustrate embodiments of the present invention and, together with the general description of the present invention given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, are used to explain the principles of the present invention.
[0031] These and other features of the present utility model will become apparent from the following description of the preferred forms of the embodiments given as non-limiting examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] When combined with the accompanying drawings, the above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present utility model will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description.
[0034] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of the present utility model, which can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present utility model with unnecessary or redundant details. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present utility model in substantially any suitable detailed structure in a variety of ways.
[0035] The first embodiment of the present utility model provides a bushing, as Figures 1 - 5 shown, the bushing is installed in the through hole 101 of the fixed bracket 100, and includes a support sleeve 1, a first bushing split body 2 and a second bushing split body 3. The first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 are respectively sleeved on the outer periphery of the support sleeve 1 and are butted along the axial direction of the support sleeve 1. There is a buffer cavity 4 between the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3.
[0036] Specifically, the bushing includes the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 which are separately arranged, and the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 are respectively sleeved on the outer periphery of the support sleeve 1. During the high-frequency reciprocating vibration of the fixed bracket 100, the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 separately play a vibration damping role, which can effectively prevent the bushing from wearing for a long time and extend the service life of the bushing. There is a buffer cavity 4 between the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3. When the fixed bracket 100 is vibrated along the axial direction, the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 can have a small displacement towards the buffer cavity 4 to achieve buffering, avoid the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 from coming into contact along the axial direction, further prevent the bushing from wearing, and extend the service life of the bushing.
[0037] The first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 are separately arranged, with flexible assembly, and can be adapted to various solutions where the through hole 101 of the fixed bracket 100 is a round hole or an oval hole. It can effectively prevent the wear of the rubber bushing during the high-frequency reciprocating vibration of the engine for a long time and extend the service life of the rubber bushing.
[0038] At least one of the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 is provided with a metal skeleton. Among them, the metal skeleton can prevent friction between the through hole 101 of the fixed bracket 100 and the first bushing split body 2 and / or the second bushing split body 3, play a protective role for the first bushing split body 2 and / or the second bushing split body 3, and at the same time, the metal skeleton also plays a supporting role for the first bushing split body 2 and / or the second bushing split body 3.
[0039] Taking the example that both the first bushing split body 2 and the second bushing split body 3 are provided with metal skeletons for illustration.
[0040] As Figure 2 shown, the first bushing split body 2 includes a first rubber sleeve 21 and a first metal skeleton 22. One end of the first rubber sleeve 21 has a first step portion 211, and the first metal skeleton 22 is installed on the first step portion 211;
[0041] The second bushing split body 3 includes a second rubber sleeve 31 and a second metal skeleton 32. One end of the second rubber sleeve 31 has a second step portion 311, and the second metal skeleton 32 is installed on the second step portion 311.
[0042] Among them, the vertical section of the first step portion 211 extends into the through hole 101 of the fixed bracket 100 and is connected to the vertical section of the first metal skeleton 22, and the horizontal section of the first step portion 211 is connected to one side of the fixed bracket 100 through the horizontal section of the first metal skeleton 22. The vertical section of the second step portion 311 extends into the through hole 101 of the fixed bracket 100 and is connected to the vertical section of the second metal skeleton 32, and the horizontal section of the second step portion 311 is connected to the other side of the fixed bracket 100 through the horizontal section of the second metal skeleton 32. The first metal skeleton 22 realizes the connection between the fixed bracket 100 and the first rubber sleeve 21 from two directions, and the second metal skeleton 32 realizes the connection between the fixed bracket 100 and the second rubber sleeve 31 from two directions, which can reduce the axial friction and radial friction between the fixed bracket 100 and the bushing and play a protective role for the bushing.
[0043] Exemplarily, the first metal skeleton 22 and the second metal skeleton 32 are in a T shape.
[0044] The materials of the first metal skeleton 22 and the second metal skeleton 32 are carbon steel or alloy steel. Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content ranging from 0.0218% to 2.11%. The higher the carbon content in carbon steel, the greater the hardness and the higher the strength. Alloy steel is an iron-carbon alloy formed by adding an appropriate amount of one or more alloying elements to ordinary carbon steel, which has high strength, high toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The materials of the first metal skeleton 22 and the second metal skeleton 32 being carbon steel or alloy steel can ensure the strength or wear resistance of the metal skeleton.
[0045] The first metal skeleton 22 is bonded or vulcanized integrally with the first rubber sleeve 21, and the second metal skeleton 32 is bonded or vulcanized integrally with the second rubber sleeve 31. Specifically, the first rubber sleeve 21 is formed by injection molding, and then bonded or vulcanized with the first metal skeleton 22 into a whole, improving the support and vibration damping performance of the first split bushing 2. The second rubber sleeve 31 is formed by injection molding, and then bonded or vulcanized with the second metal skeleton 32 into a whole, improving the support and vibration damping performance of the second split bushing 3.
[0046] Taking the first split bushing 2 and the second split bushing 3 arranged from top to bottom as an example for illustration, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the first metal skeleton 22 has a downward movement tendency under the action of gravity. Therefore, a limiting portion 212 for limiting the first metal skeleton 22 is provided at the end of the first rubber sleeve 21, preventing a large-amplitude slip between the first metal skeleton 22 and the first rubber sleeve 21. Among them, the limiting portion 212 extends radially outward along the first rubber sleeve 21. Exemplarily, in order to ensure that the limiting portion 212 has sufficient contact area with the first metal skeleton 22, the limiting portion 212 can be set as a limiting flange arranged along the circumferential direction of the first rubber sleeve 21. The limiting portion 212 can also be set as a limiting bump extending radially along the first rubber sleeve 21.
[0047] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the inner wall of the first rubber sleeve 21 is provided with a first annular groove 23. The support sleeve 1 includes a support sleeve body 11 and a first support member 12 sleeved on the outer periphery of the support sleeve body 11. The first support member 12 is arranged in the first annular groove 23, and there is a first gap 13 between the first support member 12 and the first annular groove 23. Specifically, when the fixed bracket 100 vibrates, the first gap 13 between the first split bushing 2 and the first support member 12 can play a buffering role, thus playing a role in extending the service life of the first split bushing 2.
[0048] In another embodiment, a second annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the second rubber sleeve 31. The support sleeve 1 includes a support sleeve body 11 and a second support member sleeved on the outer periphery of the support sleeve body 11. The second support member is disposed in the second annular groove, and there is a second gap between the second support member and the second annular groove. Specifically, when the fixed bracket 100 vibrates, the second gap between the second bushing split body 3 and the second support member can play a buffering role, thereby prolonging the service life of the second bushing split body 3.
[0049] In yet another embodiment, a first annular groove 23 is provided on the inner wall of the first rubber sleeve 21. The support sleeve 1 includes a support sleeve body 11 and a first support member 12 sleeved on the outer periphery of the support sleeve body 11. The first support member 12 is disposed in the first annular groove 23, and there is a first gap 13 between the first support member 12 and the first annular groove 23. A second annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the second rubber sleeve 31. The support sleeve 1 includes a support sleeve body 11 and a second support member sleeved on the outer periphery of the support sleeve body 11. The second support member is disposed in the second annular groove, and there is a second gap between the second support member and the second annular groove. When the fixed bracket 100 vibrates, the first gap 13 between the first bushing split body 2 and the first support member 12 and the second gap between the second bushing split body 3 and the second support member can play a buffering role, thereby prolonging the service lives of the first bushing split body and the second bushing split body 3.
[0050] One end of the first rubber sleeve 21 away from the first metal skeleton 22 and / or one end of the second rubber sleeve 31 away from the second metal skeleton 32 is a vehicle body connection end, and a vibration damping portion 5 is provided at the vehicle body connection end. The vibration damping portion 5 reduces the transmission of vibration between the vehicle body sheet metal 200 and the bushing, and improves the buffering performance of the bushing.
[0051] Specifically, the vibration damping portion 5 is a plurality of annular vibration damping grooves 51 arranged radially along the vehicle body connection end; or the vibration damping portion 5 is a plurality of vibration damping holes opened at the vehicle body connection end. Taking the vehicle body connection end as the end of the second rubber sleeve 31 away from the second metal skeleton 32 as an example, the vibration damping portion 5 is provided on the second rubber sleeve 31, and the annular vibration damping grooves 51 and the vibration damping holes reduce the contact area between the second rubber sleeve 31 and the vehicle body sheet metal 200, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the bushing.
[0052] Exemplarily, two annular vibration damping grooves 51 are provided.
[0053] In one of the embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, the fastening bolt 6 sequentially passes through the first split bushing 2, the second split bushing 3, and the first side of the body sheet metal 200, and is connected to the nut 7 provided on the second side of the body sheet metal 200. The length of the first split bushing 2 is greater than that of the second split bushing 3. Specifically, since the length of the fastening bolt 6 is relatively long, its bolt head extends into the through hole 101 along the first split bushing 2, and the interaction between the fastening bolt 6 and the first split bushing 2 is more obvious. The length of the first split bushing 2 being larger than that of the second split bushing 3 can improve the strength of the first split bushing 2 to enhance the supporting strength for the fastening bolt 6.
[0054] In another embodiment, the fastening bolt 6 sequentially passes through the first side of the body sheet metal 200, the second split bushing 3, and the first split bushing 2, and is connected to the nut 7 provided on the first side of the fixing bracket 100. The length of the second split bushing 3 is greater than that of the first split bushing 2. Since the length of the fastening bolt 6 is relatively long, its bolt head extends into the through hole 101 along the second split bushing 3, and the interaction between the fastening bolt 6 and the second split bushing 3 is more obvious. The length of the second split bushing 3 being larger than that of the first split bushing 2 can improve the strength of the second split bushing 3 to enhance the supporting strength for the fastening bolt 6.
[0055] The second embodiment of the present utility model provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned bushing. The fastening bolt 6 passes through the first split bushing 2, the second split bushing 3, and the body sheet metal 200 to connect the fixing bracket 100 and the body sheet metal 200. The fixing bracket 100 is an air filter bracket.
