Active Engine Mount Vent Hole for Heat Dissipation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional active engine mounts face issues with high temperature heat generation and air expansion due to sealed interior spaces, leading to reduced durability and driving efficiency.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a vent hole in the damper assembly to allow air inside the engine mount to be discharged outside, with a purification filter to prevent foreign substances from entering, which enables air circulation and minimizes internal heat generation and air expansion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the interior space of the engine mount is sealed, then vibration control performance is improved, but heat accumulation and air expansion occur causing reduced durability and driving efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful element (air) from the sealed interior space by introducing a vent hole that allows air to be discharged to the outside. This extraction prevents air expansion and heat accumulation while maintaining the sealed structure's vibration control function, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and temperature control.
2Productivity
If the interior space of the engine mount is sealed, then vibration control performance is improved, but air expansion decreases driving efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The vent hole structure extracts accumulated air from the interior space, preventing air expansion that would otherwise reduce driving efficiency. The purification filter simultaneously prevents foreign substances from entering, maintaining system performance while enabling continuous operation.
3Temperature
If a vent hole is added to discharge air, then heat generation and air expansion are reduced, but device complexity increases due to additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the vent hole function with the existing purification filter structure, combining air discharge and foreign substance filtration into a single integrated component. This merging approach enables heat dissipation and air expansion prevention without significantly increasing device complexity, as the filter structure already provides a suitable platform for these functions.
