Abstract

Provided is a high-pressure fuel supply pump capable of reducing a manufacturing cost of a part for holding a metal damper. The high-pressure fuel supply pump includes a pump body 1 having a pressurizing chamber 11 therein, a damper cover 14 forming a damper chamber 10 together with the pump body 1 on the upstream side of the pressurizing chamber 11 , a metal damper 9 that is disposed in the damper cover 10 and formed by laminating two metal diaphragms, and a first holding member 9 a that is disposed in the damper chamber 10 and presses and holds the metal damper 9 from one side. The first holding member 9 a includes a first regulation portion that regulates the radial movement of the metal damper 9 , and a second regulation portion that regulates the radial movement of the first holding member 9 a in the damper chamber 10 . At a position of the second regulation portion, a flow path is formed which allows the fuel in the damper chamber 10 to circulate to both surfaces of the metal damper 9.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A high-pressure fuel supply pump, comprising:
a pump body that includes a pressurizing chamber inside;
a damper cover that forms a damper chamber on an upstream side of the pressurizing chamber together with the pump body;
a damper that is disposed in the damper chamber and formed by laminating two diaphragms; and
a first holding member that is disposed in the damper chamber and presses and holds the damper from one side,
wherein the first holding member includes
a first regulation portion for regulating movement of the damper in the radial direction, and
a second regulation portion that regulates a radial movement of the first holding member in the damper chamber,

wherein a flow path that allows fuel in the damper chamber to circulate to both surfaces of the damper is formed at the position of the second regulation portion,
wherein the damper cover is capable of accommodating the damper and the first holding member, and is formed in a tubular shape with one side closed,
wherein the first holding member is configured such that a gap is formed between the second regulation portion and an inner peripheral surface of the damper cover,
wherein the damper includes a welding portion formed by welding a periphery of the two diaphragms, and
wherein the gap is set in a range where the first holding member does not abut on the welding portion of the damper, even in a case where the first holding member is displaced by the gap in a radial direction.

2. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second regulation portion is provided at intervals in a circumferential direction of the first regulation portion, and is configured by a plurality of projections protruding radially outward, and
wherein the flow path is configured by a plurality of spaces formed between adjacent projections among the plurality of projections.

3. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second regulation portion is configured by a flange formed in an annular shape, and
wherein the flow path is configured by a communication hole provided in the flange.

4. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second holding member that is disposed on an opposite side of the first holding member with the damper interposed in the damper chamber and presses and holds the damper from the other side.

5. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 4 ,
wherein the second holding member includes a third regulation portion that regulates radial movement of the second holding member in the damper chamber.

6. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 5 ,
wherein the damper cover is capable of accommodating the three members of the damper, the first holding member, and the second holding member, and is formed in a tubular shape with one side closed, and
wherein the second holding member is configured such that a gap is formed between the third regulation portion and an inner peripheral surface of the damper cover.

7. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 6 ,
wherein the damper includes a welding portion formed by welding a periphery of the two diaphragms, and
wherein the gap is set in a range where the second holding member does not abut on the welding portion of the damper even in a case where the second holding member is displaced by the gap in a radial direction.

8. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first holding member includes
a contact portion that abuts on the damper cover,
a pressing portion that presses the damper, and
a cylindrical side wall surface portion that connects the contact portion and the pressing portion, and

wherein the side wall surface portion includes a communication hole that allows communication between a radially inner space and a radially outer space.

9. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first regulation portion is formed so as to surround a periphery of the damper.

10. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first holding member includes a contact portion that abuts on the damper cover, and
wherein the contact portion includes a communication hole having a diameter larger than a flow path diameter of a suction pipe that is attached to the high-pressure fuel supply pump.

11. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 10 ,
wherein the first holding member is an elastic body that is elastically deformed by contact with the damper cover, and
wherein a diameter of the communication hole of the contact portion is set to a size capable of maintaining elastic deformation when the first holding member is deformed by the contact of the damper cover.

12. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 11 ,
wherein the contact portion is formed in a planar shape.
