Abstract

A high-pressure fuel supply pump including a pump body in which a pressurizing chamber is formed, and a cylinder inserted into a hole formed in the pump body and formed in a cylindrical shape, the high-pressure fuel supply pump including: a protrusion disposed at an end portion of the pump body opposite to the pressurizing chamber, formed from an outer peripheral side to an inner peripheral side with respect to an inner peripheral surface opposite to an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, and protruding toward the cylinder, wherein the protrusion is formed so as to protrude to a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber with respect to a flat portion of the end portion of the pump body, and the protrusion is formed so as to support the cylinder from a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A high-pressure fuel supply pump, comprising:
a pump body in which a pressurizing chamber is formed, and
a cylinder inserted into a hole formed in the pump body and formed in a cylindrical shape, the high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising:
a protrusion disposed at an end portion of the pump body opposite to the pressurizing chamber, formed from an outer peripheral side to an inner peripheral side with respect to an inner peripheral surface opposite to an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, and protruding toward the cylinder,
wherein the protrusion is formed so as to protrude to a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber with respect to a flat portion of the end portion of the pump body, and
the protrusion is formed so as to support the cylinder from a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber,
wherein pressure is applied to the protrusion of the pump body from the side opposite to the pressurizing chamber such that the protrusion comes into contact with a side surface of an anti-pressurizing chamber of the cylinder.

2. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein an inner peripheral portion of the protrusion is formed so as to be inclined toward the inner peripheral side from the inner peripheral surface opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder toward the side opposite to the pressurizing chamber.

3. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein an inner peripheral portion of the protrusion is formed so as to be inclined toward the inner peripheral side from the inner peripheral surface opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder toward the side opposite to the pressurizing chamber, and the cylinder is supported by a side surface of the pressurizing chamber of the inner peripheral portion of the protrusion.

4. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 wherein an outer peripheral portion of the protrusion is formed so as to be inclined toward a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber from the flat portion of the end portion of the pump body to an inner peripheral side.

5. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion has a ring shape.

6. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein a convex portion has a ring shape having one or more discontinuous portions.

7. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein a tapered portion is provided at an outer peripheral side end portion of the cylinder and an end portion opposite to the insertion direction so as to be inclined toward the inner peripheral side in a direction opposite to an insertion direction of the cylinder.

8. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein a cylinder fitting hole bottom surface is formed in the pump body, an annular protrusion protruding locally from the cylinder toward the cylinder fitting hole bottom surface is formed on a cylinder end surface, and the annular protrusion bites into the cylinder fitting hole bottom surface, so that sealing is performed.

9. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein an elastic compression strain in a direction of the cylinder axis remains between an outer peripheral side end portion of the cylinder and the cylinder end surface, and the elastic compression strain is held between the bonding fixing portion of the pump body and the cylinder fitting hole bottom surface.

10. A method of manufacturing a high-pressure fuel supply pump, comprising:
fitting a cylinder into a cylinder fitting hole having a cylinder fitting hole bottom surface of a pump body;
compressively deforming a convex portion provided in advance at a peripheral portion of an inlet of the cylinder fitting hole of the pump body in a cylinder insertion direction by a part of an end surface of a punch, such that the convex portion is plastically deformed toward an inner peripheral side; and
performing plastic bonding so as to cover a cylinder shoulder portion and a cylinder side surface of the cylinder while being pressure-bonded thereto.

11. The method of manufacturing a high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 10 , wherein a cylinder end surface coming into contact with the cylinder fitting hole bottom surface of the cylinder is pressure-bonded to the cylinder fitting hole bottom surface by the pressurization, and a local protrusion provided on the cylinder end surface plastically deforms and bites into the cylinder fitting hole bottom surface.

12. A method of bonding two members, wherein a fitting portion is a fitting part having a cylindrical shape which is fitted into a body having a bottomed hole and a fitting portion fitted in the bottomed hole, the method comprising:
fitting the fitting part into the bottomed hole of the body; and
pressurizing a convex portion provided in advance at a peripheral portion of an entrance of the bottomed hole of the body in a substantially axial direction of the fitting part to be compressively deformed,
wherein materials of the convex portion and the vicinity of the convex portion are plastically deformed in the direction of the fitting part, and is fixed and bonded so as to cover over a shoulder portion of the fitting part and a fitting portion side surface of the fitting part while being pressure-bonded.

13. The method of bonding two members according to claim 12 , wherein an outer peripheral side of the convex portion is made to be a surface widening in the pressurizing direction.

14. The method of bonding two members according to claim 12 , wherein the convex portion is a pressurizing surface of a punch and pressurizes in a substantially axial direction of the fitting part with a part of a punch end surface away from a side surface of the punch.
