HYDRAULIC MOUNT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214337 titled 'HYDRAULIC MOUNT
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a hydraulic mount for supporting an engine of a vehicle, which includes a core, an insulator, a diaphragm, and a nozzle assembly to seal and control the fluid between the insulator and the diaphragm.
- The hydraulic mount is designed to receive vibrations from the engine and isolate them effectively.
- The insulator is molded on the core to provide a barrier between the core and the diaphragm.
- A predetermined distance is maintained between the insulator and the diaphragm to create upper and lower chambers for the fluid.
- The nozzle assembly consists of upper and lower nozzles connected by a membrane to regulate the flow of fluid between the chambers.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Core to receive vibrations and support the engine.
- Insulator to separate the core from the diaphragm.
- Diaphragm to seal the fluid and create upper and lower chambers.
- Nozzle assembly to control the flow of fluid between the chambers.
Potential Applications:
The hydraulic mount can be used in various vehicles such as cars, trucks, and buses to reduce engine vibrations and improve overall performance.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the issue of engine vibrations causing discomfort and potential damage to the vehicle components.
Benefits:
- Improved engine performance.
- Enhanced driver and passenger comfort.
- Increased lifespan of vehicle parts.
Commercial Applications:
The hydraulic mount can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the quality and durability of their vehicles, potentially leading to increased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Questions about Hydraulic Mounts:
1. How does the hydraulic mount effectively isolate engine vibrations? 2. What are the key components of a hydraulic mount and how do they work together to support the engine?
Original Abstract Submitted
A hydraulic mount in which a fluid for supporting an engine of a vehicle is sealed, includes a core configured to receive vibration from outside, an insulator molded on the external side of the core, and a diaphragm spaced at a predetermined distance from the insulator, wherein a fluid is sealed between the insulator and the diaphragm, and an upper chamber and a lower chamber are provided between the insulator and the diaphragm by a nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes an upper nozzle located adjacent to the upper chamber, a lower nozzle coupled to the upper nozzle and located adjacent to the lower chamber, and a membrane located between the upper nozzle and the lower nozzle.
