Abstract

A high-pressure fuel supply pump is provided with a pump body for forming a pressurizing chamber at an inner wall portion, and a flange portion for fixing the pump body to a high-pressure fuel supply pump mounting portion. The high-pressure fuel supply pump is provided with a cylinder and a spring holding member. The cylinder is inserted into a hole portion of the pump body from a lower side and in which the pressurizing chamber is formed further above an uppermost end surface. The spring holding member has an outer peripheral portion press-fitted and fixed to the pump body and a holding portion holding a spring portion for biasing the pump body between the outer peripheral portion and the inner peripheral portion. A spring-side lowest end portion of the holding surface of the spring holding member is disposed above the lowermost end portion of the flange portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A high-pressure fuel supply pump system comprising:
a pump body configured to form a pressurizing chamber at an inner wall portion; and
a flange portion configured to fix the pump body to a mounting portion for a high-pressure fuel supply pump within an internal combustion engine;
wherein the high-pressure fuel supply pump comprises:
a cylinder which is inserted into a hole portion of the pump body from a lower side and in which the pressurizing chamber is formed further above an uppermost end surface;
a plunger disposed to slide on an inner diameter side of the cylinder; and
a spring holding member having an outer peripheral portion press-fitted and fixed to the pump body and a holding portion holding a spring portion for biasing the plunger on a radially inner side of the outer peripheral portion; and
wherein a spring contact portion of the spring holding member is disposed above a lowermost end portion of the flange portion.

2. A high-pressure fuel supply pump system comprising:
a pump body configured to form a pressurizing chamber at an inner wall portion; and
a flange portion configured to fix the pump body to a mounting portion for a high-pressure fuel supply pump within an internal combustion engine;
wherein the pump body is provided with a first hole having a first cross sectional area forming the pressurizing chamber, a second hole communicating with the first hole, being formed on the side opposite to the pressurizing chamber, and having a second cross sectional area larger than the first cross sectional area, and a third hole communicating with the second hole, being formed on the side opposite to the pressurizing chamber, and having a third cross sectional area larger than the second cross sectional; and
wherein the high-pressure fuel supply pump comprises:
a cylinder which is inserted from an opposite side of the pressurizing chamber toward the pressurizing chamber and whose uppermost end surface is in contact with an upper end surface of a portion forming the second hole of the pump body;
a plunger disposed to slide on an inner diameter side of the cylinder; and
a spring holding member which has a holding portion holding a spring portion for biasing the plunger and is inserted from the opposite side of the pressurizing chamber toward the pressurizing chamber and is configured to face a portion forming the third hole of the pump body;
wherein a spring contact portion of the spring holding member is disposed above a lowermost end portion of the flange portion; and
wherein the spring portion is configured to contact the spring contact portion.

3. A high-pressure fuel supply pump system comprising:
a pump body configured to form a pressurizing chamber at an inner wall portion; and
a flange portion configured to fix the pump body to a mounting portion for a high-pressure fuel supply pump within an internal combustion engine;
wherein the high-pressure fuel supply pump comprises:
an insertion portion inserted into the mounting portion;
a plunger disposed to slide on an inner diameter side of a cylinder; and
a spring holding member having an outer peripheral portion fixed to the insertion portion and a holding portion holding a spring portion for biasing the plunger on the radially inner side of the outer peripheral portion;

wherein when the high-pressure fuel supply pump is attached to the mounting portion, in a state where the spring portion is contracted, half or more of the entire length of the spring portion is positioned closer to the pressurizing chamber side than a lower end portion of the insertion portion or a lower end portion of the outer peripheral portion of the spring holding member;
wherein a spring contact portion of the spring holding member that is a lowermost end portion of the spring holding member is disposed above a lowermost end portion of the flange portion; and
wherein the spring contact portion is configured to contact the spring-side lowermost end portion.

4. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 3 , wherein the cylinder is inserted into a hole portion of the pump body from a lower side and in which the pressurizing chamber is formed further above an uppermost end surface.

5. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 3 ,
wherein when the high-pressure fuel supply pump is not attached to the mounting portion, and in a state where the spring portion is extended, half or more of the entire length of the spring portion is positioned on an opposite side to the pressurizing chamber from a lower end portion of the insertion portion or a lower end portion of the outer peripheral portion of the spring holding member.

6. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the spring holding member has an inner peripheral portion holding a plunger seal between the plunger sliding on the inner diameter side of the cylinder and the inner peripheral portion; and
wherein the inner peripheral portion has a small inner peripheral portion holding the plunger seal and a large diameter inner peripheral portion opposed to an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder above the small diameter inner peripheral portion.

7. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the spring holding member has an inner peripheral portion holding a plunger seal between the plunger sliding on the inner diameter side of the cylinder and the inner peripheral portion;
wherein the inner peripheral portion includes a lower small diameter inner peripheral portion and a large diameter inner peripheral portion above the small diameter inner peripheral portion;
wherein the cylinder has an upper cylinder large diameter portion and a cylinder small diameter portion below the cylinder large diameter portion and
wherein the large diameter inner peripheral portion of the spring holding member and the cylinder small diameter portion of the cylinder overlap each other in a plunger axial direction.

8. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 7 ,
wherein a maximum diameter of the outer diameter side of the cylinder small diameter portion is set to be a ratio of ½ to 1 with respect to a maximum diameter on the outer diameter side of the cylinder large diameter portion.

9. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 7 ,
wherein a thickness of the cylinder small diameter portion is larger than a gap between the large diameter inner peripheral surface of the spring holding member and the cylinder small diameter portion in a direction orthogonal to the plunger axial direction.

10. The high-pressure fuel supply pump system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the spring holding member has an inner peripheral portion holding a plunger seal between the plunger sliding on the inner diameter side of the cylinder and the inner peripheral portion;
wherein the inner peripheral portion includes a lower small diameter inner peripheral portion, and a large diameter inner peripheral portion above the small diameter inner peripheral portion; and
wherein an outermost diameter portion of the large diameter inner peripheral portion of the spring holding member is disposed on a further outer diameter side of the outermost diameter portion of a cylinder insertion hole into which the cylinder is inserted.
