  • Patent number: 10406906
    Abstract: An engine mount includes: an insulator disposed in a case which has a liquid chamber; an orifice plate dividing the liquid chamber into an upper liquid chamber and a lower liquid chamber, the orifice plate dividing the upper liquid chamber together with the insulator and having an orifice therein for inducing flow of fluid between the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber; and a diaphragm disposed under the orifice plate inside the case, the diaphragm dividing the lower liquid chamber together with the orifice plate. The orifice plate has a direct passage for enabling the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber to directly communicate with each other so that liquid flows between the upper liquid chamber and the lower liquid chamber, and includes an opening/closing piston for opening or closing the direct passage.

  • Patent number: 10336175
    Abstract: A semi-active engine mount for a vehicle is provided to improve the NVH performance and ride quality. An engine mount for a vehicle includes a rubber module with a rubber having a core therein, and a case that surrounds an exterior circumference of the rubber and a fluid module with a module case coupled to the rubber module to define an upper and lower chamber and having straight and a bypass flow paths, a closure configured to open or close the straight flow path, and a diaphragm installed on the module case to close the lower chamber. A coil module has a coil embedded in the fluid module and configured to open and close the closure when a power source is turned on or off. In particular, a high loss factor when the vehicle travels is reduced, and decreasing dynamic characteristics when the vehicle idles is decreased.

  • Patent number: 6278934
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for detecting engine misfires, but which prevents false detections or non-detection of misfires that occur as a function of driving status parameters such as the rpm of the engine or load. When the output of the engine changes due to misfires while a time duration for each predetermined rotation angle of the crank shaft is continuously measured, a time variation ratio can then be used as a reference value for detecting the misfires.
