Abstract

Provided are an assembly type terminal for a fuel pump capable of decreasing a process additionally required at the time of injection-molding a flange using a separation type terminal according to the related art and preventing a defect of a product that may occur at the time of injection-molding the flange, and a method of manufacturing a fuel pump flange using the same. The assembly type terminal for a fuel pump includes: a plurality of power supply terminals; a plurality of coupling bodies 100 and 200 coupling one or more power supply terminals to each other; and a coupling member 300 formed in the coupling bodies and coupling the plurality of coupling bodies 100 and 200 to each other, wherein the plurality of coupling bodies are spaced apart from each other and are coupled to each other by the coupling member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An assembly type terminal for a fuel pump, comprising:
a plurality of power supply terminals;
a plurality of coupling bodies coupling one or more power supply terminals to each other; and
a coupling member formed in the coupling bodies and coupling the plurality of coupling bodies to each other,
wherein the plurality of coupling bodies are spaced apart from each other and are coupled to each other by the coupling member; and
wherein the coupling member includes: an insertion hole formed in one of the coupling bodies so as to penetrate through the coupling body; and an insertion portion formed in another one of the coupling bodies and inserted into the insertion hole, and
an interval maintaining portion formed between the insertion portion and the coupling body to have a cross section greater than that of the insertion hole.

2. The assembly type terminal for a fuel pump of claim 1 , further comprising depressed portions depressed in outer surfaces of the coupling bodies.

3. A method of manufacturing a fuel pump flange using the assembly type terminal for a fuel pump of claim 1 , comprising:
a coupling member coupling step of coupling the coupling members formed in each of the plurality of coupling bodies to each other to assemble the plurality of coupling bodies as a single coupling body; and
a flange injection-molding step of fixing the single coupling body assembled in the coupling member coupling step into a mold and injection-molding the flange.

4. A method of manufacturing a fuel pump flange using the assembly type terminal for a fuel pump of claim 1 , comprising:
a coupling member coupling step of coupling the coupling members formed in each of the plurality of coupling bodies to each other to assemble the plurality of coupling bodies as a single coupling body; and
a flange injection-molding step of fixing the single coupling body assembled in the coupling member coupling step into a mold and injection-molding the flange.

5. A method of manufacturing a fuel pump flange using the assembly type terminal for a fuel pump of claim 1 , comprising:
a coupling member coupling step of coupling the coupling members formed in each of the plurality of coupling bodies to each other to assemble the plurality of coupling bodies as a single coupling body; and
a flange injection-molding step of fixing the single coupling body assembled in the coupling member coupling step into a mold and injection-molding the flange.
