[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] This application discloses a hydraulic mount for an automobile engine.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hydraulic suspension for an automobile engine includes a suspension bracket 1, a rubber main spring 2, a rubber base 3, a flow channel baffle 4 disposed between the rubber main spring 2 and the rubber base 3, a connecting seat 5 disposed at one end of the suspension bracket 1, and a pressure cover 6 disposed at the other end of the suspension bracket 1.

[0041] The suspension bracket 1 is an aluminum annular bracket with openings at both ends. The rubber main spring 2, the flow channel baffle 4, and the rubber bottom diaphragm 3 are sequentially arranged inside the suspension bracket 1 along the axial direction of the suspension bracket 1. There is a damping chamber 21 between the rubber main spring 2 and the rubber bottom diaphragm 3, and the damping chamber 21 is filled with a viscous incompressible fluid.

[0042] The rubber main spring 2 includes a rubber body 22 and a metal frame 23. The top of the rubber body 22 and the bottom of the connecting sleeve 51 are close to each other, and the bottom of the rubber body 22 extends to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the suspension bracket 1. A vulcanized outer ring 7 is also provided between the bottom of the rubber body 22 and the inner wall of the suspension bracket 1. The metal frame 23 is a vulcanized cup, which is pre-installed inside the rubber body 22.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The end of the suspension bracket 1 closest to the rubber main spring 2 is defined as the top, and the end closest to the rubber bottom diaphragm 3 is defined as the bottom. A connecting seat 5 is fixed to the top of the suspension bracket 1 and is used to connect the hydraulic suspension to the engine. The connecting seat 5 includes a connecting sleeve 51, a connecting post 52, and a connecting ring 53. The connecting sleeve 51, connecting post 52, and connecting ring 53 are all coaxially arranged with the suspension bracket 1.

[0044] The connecting sleeve 51 is an annular body with an inverted T-shaped cross-section, and has a cover portion 511 for covering the top opening of the suspension bracket 1. The inner wall of the suspension bracket 1 has a limiting ring 11 that is inserted and engaged with the outer side of the cover portion 511, and the inner side of the limiting ring 11 has a limiting ring groove 111 that is inserted and fixed with the cover portion 511. The limiting ring 11 can be formed by splicing two semi-circular arc pieces, or the limiting ring 11 can be a complete ring, with the cover portion 511 interference-fitted into the limiting ring groove 111.

[0045] The connecting post 52 is fitted into the inner hole of the connecting sleeve 51. The top of the connecting post 52 has a connecting hole 521 for engine insertion. In this embodiment, the connecting hole 521 is a countersunk threaded hole. The bottom of the connecting post 52 is also integrally provided with a limiting part 522, so that the cross-section of the connecting post 52 along its axis is also inverted T-shaped. The inner diameter of the inner hole of the connecting sleeve 51 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting post 52, which facilitates the insertion of the connecting post 52 and provides a clearance for the lateral movement of the connecting post 52.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting ring 53 is sleeved and fitted with the connecting post 52, and the connecting ring 53 is located between the limiting part 522 and the connecting sleeve 51. The connecting ring 53 is used to press the connecting post 52 against the top of the rubber main spring 2. The top of the rubber main spring 2 has a mounting groove 24 for fixing the connecting ring 53 and the connecting post 52. The mounting groove 24 has a T-shaped cross section along the axis of the suspension bracket 1, and the connecting ring 53 is fitted against the top wall of the mounting groove 24. A limiting groove 241 is formed between the connecting ring 53 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 24 for the limiting part 522 to be arranged, and the limiting part 522 is limited and arranged in the limiting groove 241. The bottom of the connecting ring 53 has a pressing surface 531 for pressing the limiting part 522, and the pressing surface 531 reduces the probability of the connecting post 52 detaching from the mounting groove 24.

[0047] The top of the connecting ring 53 is integrally provided with a positioning post 532, the positioning post 532 having an isosceles trapezoidal cross-section. The bottom surface of the cover part 511 has a positioning hole 512 that engages with the positioning post 532. The circumferential positioning of the connecting ring 53 is achieved through the positioning hole 512 and the positioning post 532.

[0048] To further improve the fixation of the connecting ring 53 and the connecting post 52, a retaining ring 523 is integrally formed on the side wall of the connecting post 52. The retaining ring 523 is interference-fitted into the inner wall of the connecting ring 53. The top surface of the retaining ring 523 is flush with the top surface of the connecting ring 53 to ensure sealing.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The clamping cover 6 is a U-shaped cover with an open top, and the top of the clamping cover 6 has a clamping part 61 extending away from the axis. The clamping cover 6 is inserted between the rubber base diaphragm 3 and the rubber main spring 2 through a riveting direction. The top of the clamping part 61 is in contact with the bottom of the rubber base diaphragm 3, and the outer side of the clamping part 61 presses the rubber main spring 2 and the vulcanized outer ring 7 against the inner wall of the suspension bracket 1 to fix the vulcanized outer ring 7 and the spring body. In order to facilitate the riveting process of the clamping cover 6, the outer bottom wall of the suspension bracket 1 also has a relief groove 12.

[0050] The top of the suspension bracket 1 has an arc-shaped placement groove 13, which is coaxial with the axis of the suspension bracket 1. An external buffer 8 is installed within the arc-shaped placement groove 13. The external buffer 8 is made of pure rubber and has elastic deformation capability. The external buffer 8 includes an arc-shaped block 81 and an abutment block 82. The arc-shaped block 81 is installed in the arc-shaped placement groove 13 and can be finally fixed by glue or plugging. The abutment block 82 is integrally set on the top of the arc-shaped block 81 and is circumferentially spaced along the axis of the arc-shaped block 81. When the engine tilts laterally, the engine impacts the abutment block 82, and the external buffer 8 cushions the lateral tilt of the engine.

[0051] The implementation principle of a hydraulic suspension for an automobile engine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the connecting seat 5 is pre-assembled, and then the connecting seat 5 and the rubber main spring 2 are placed in the mold and vulcanized and fixed into a whole. Then the whole is inserted from the bottom of the suspension bracket 1 and fixed in cooperation with the limiting ring 11. After that, the vulcanized outer ring 7, the flow channel partition 4 and the rubber bottom film 3 are inserted and installed from the bottom of the suspension bracket 1 in sequence. Finally, the clamping cover 6 is riveted and fixed to the bottom of the suspension bracket 1.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
