ABSTRACT:

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority of Korea patent Application No. 2001-27728, filed on May 21, 2001.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a vehicle engine mount, and more particularly, to the vehicle engine mount in which a mounting rubber bush supporting a power train can be installed at a desired position having a small installation space, without interference with the other installations in the engine room.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Generally, the engine room includes an engine mount which prevents the direct transmission of the vibration and shock originated from the power train to the vehicle body, to reduce the vibration and noise and improve the passengers' comfort.
The conventional vehicle engine mount in
FIG. 1
comprises an engine bracket
310
′ fixed at a power train
300
′; a mounting rubber bracket
120
′ engaged with the engine bracket
310
′; a mounting rubber bush
110
′ fixed at the mounting rubber bracket
120
′; and a body bracket
210
′ for connecting the mounting rubber bracket
120
′ with the mounting rubber bush
110
′ to a frame
200
′.
Each of the body bracket
210
′ and the engine bracket
310
′ is fixed at the frame
200
′ forming the vehicle body and the power train
300
′, and the body bracket
210
′ and the engine bracket
310
′ are engaged with the mounting rubber
120
′ having the mounting rubber bush
110
′ via the bolts, so that the mounting rubber bush
110
′ absorbs the vibration and shock originated from the power train
300
′.
The engine mount requires many assembly components, such as the mounting rubber
120
′ with the mounting rubber bush
110
′, the engine bracket
310
′, the body bracket and so on, in order that the mounting rubber bush
110
′ absorbs the vibration and shock, which results in an increase in the assembly components and assembly workability and decreases the manufacturing costs. Further, since the large installation space is needed, it is difficult that the engine mount is installed at a desired position, without interference with the other installations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle engine mount wherein the mounting rubber bush is installed at a desired position in a small space, without interference with the other installations in the engine room.
In order to achieve the object, the present invention comprises a mounting rubber bush, a fixing portion and an engagement portion, the mounting rubber bush being inserted into the frame forming the vehicle body, the fixing portion for engaging the frame by bolt to maintain the mounting rubber bush in the frame, and the engagement portion being engaged with the engine bracket to connect the mounting rubber bush to the power train.
