[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A creep-resistant composite engine mount based on a spring-compensated structure includes a main spring 1 and a rear cover assembly 2. The rear cover assembly includes a cup 21, and a reservoir 3 for holding damping fluid is formed between the cup and the main spring. The rear cover assembly also includes a base plate 22 located below the cup; an elastic element 23, one end of which is mounted on the base plate, and the other end of which provides elastic support to the bottom of the cup. The high-performance spring device added to the bottom of the mount can effectively compensate for the creep deformation of the rubber material under long-term load. To address the problem of engine position sinking caused by rubber creep, the spring support structure can maintain the accuracy of the engine's installation position. Even under extreme operating conditions (such as rapid acceleration or bumpy roads), it can ensure sufficient safety clearance between the engine and surrounding components, eliminating the risk of collision.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the elastic element is a spring.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the base plate is provided with a mounting post 221, one end of the spring is sleeved on the mounting post, and the other end abuts against the bottom end face of the leather cup.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the liquid storage chamber includes an upper liquid storage chamber 31 and a lower liquid storage chamber 32. The upper liquid storage chamber and the lower liquid storage chamber are connected by a partition flow channel assembly. The partition flow channel assembly includes a first flow channel 33 and a second flow channel 34. The first flow channel is used to connect the upper and lower liquid storage chambers during low-frequency, large-amplitude vibrations, and the second flow channel is used to connect the upper and lower liquid storage chambers during high-frequency, small-amplitude vibrations. During low-frequency, large-amplitude vibrations (such as engine idling), the liquid flow rate is slow, the inertial force is small, the decoupling membrane is closed, and the liquid flows slowly between the upper and lower liquid chambers through the first flow channel. Due to the small cross-sectional area of ​​the first flow channel, the liquid flow is restricted, generating high damping, consuming vibration energy, enhancing low-frequency vibration damping capability, and preventing large engine shaking. During high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations (engine high-speed operation), the liquid flows rapidly under inertia, causing the decoupling membrane to deform quickly (unable to cover the second channel). The decoupling membrane detaches from the liquid chamber wall, opening the inertial channel (i.e., the second channel), allowing the liquid to flow freely through the inertial channel, thus reducing damping. This reduces the dynamic stiffness of the suspension and effectively isolates high-frequency noise.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the baffle flow channel assembly includes an upper flow channel plate 35 and a lower flow channel plate 36. A second flow channel is provided at the center of both the upper and lower flow channel plates. A decoupling membrane 38, which is sealed within the second flow channel, opens the second flow channel when subjected to high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations. The decoupling membrane is made of rubber or similar material and has a certain degree of elasticity; it deforms under high-frequency vibrations, thereby connecting the second flow channels.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first flow channel is disposed in the circumference of the upper flow channel plate, the top of the upper flow channel plate is provided with an inlet 351 communicating with the first flow channel, and both the upper flow channel plate and the lower flow channel plate are provided with an outlet 352 communicating with the first flow channel.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the main spring has a metal support rib 11 inside. Simultaneously, an arc-shaped skeleton is vulcanized inside the rubber main spring to provide support for the suspension. When the rubber experiences stress relaxation, the spring can provide continuous support, and the arc-shaped skeleton structure provides elastic support, controlling the overall deformation of the suspension system within the design range and extending its service life.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the cross-section of the supporting rib is an arc-shaped surface.
