Abstract

Provided is a fuel supply pump capable of improving welding quality while securing a function of a valve body. A fuel supply pump of the present invention includes a regulating member (discharge valve stopper 84) that guides movement of a valve body (discharge valve 82), a main body portion (body 1) provided with a valve chamber (discharge valve chamber 1d) that houses the regulating member, a sealing member (plug 85) that seals the valve chamber, and a welded portion (welded portion 86) that fixes the sealing member to the main body portion. An annular space portion (annular space portion 60) along an outer periphery of the regulating member is formed between the welded portion and the regulating member. The regulating member includes a positioning portion (fitting portion 84a) for positioning with respect to the main body portion on a side opposite to the sealing member, and a gap forming portion (gap forming portion 84c) forming an annular gap (annular gap 63) between the gap forming portion and the main body portion, and the annular gap allows a space on a side of the positioning portion in the valve chamber and the annular space portion to communicate with each other.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fuel supply pump, comprising:
a regulating member that guides a valve body or regulates a movement distance of the valve body;
a main body portion provided with a valve chamber that houses the regulating member;
a sealing member that seals the valve chamber and locks the regulating member from movement in the valve chamber relative to the main body portion; and
a welded portion that fixes the sealing member to the main body portion,
wherein an annular space portion along an outer periphery of the regulating member is formed between the welded portion and the regulating member,
the regulating member includes a positioning portion for positioning with respect to the main body portion on a side opposite to the sealing member, and a gap forming portion forming an annular gap between the gap forming portion and the main body portion, and
the annular gap allows a space on a side of the positioning portion in the valve chamber and the annular space portion to communicate with each other.

2. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the annular gap is formed such that a distance between the regulating member and the main body portion is 0.1 mm or less.

3. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the regulating member and the sealing member are configured as separate components.

4. The fuel supply pump according to claim 3 , wherein the sealing member is formed integrally with a discharge joint through which fuel is discharged when the valve body is opened.

5. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , further comprising a seat member which is disposed on a side of the regulating member opposite to the sealing member and on which the valve body is seated,
wherein the seat member is fixed to the main body portion.

6. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , further comprising a seat member which is disposed on a side of the regulating member opposite to the sealing member and on which the valve body is seated,
wherein the seat member is fixed to the regulating member.

7. The fuel supply pump according to claim 5 , wherein the regulating member is sandwiched between the seat member and the sealing member, and movement of the regulating member in a direction along a moving direction of the valve body is locked.

8. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning portion is fixed to the main body portion.

9. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the gap forming portion is formed in an annular shape protruding from an outer peripheral portion of the regulating member and continuing along the outer peripheral portion of the regulating member.

10. The fuel supply pump according to claim 9 , wherein
the positioning portion is formed in a columnar shape to be fitted to the main body portion, and
an outer diameter of the gap forming portion is larger than an outer diameter of the positioning portion.

11. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the welded portion is provided between an outer peripheral surface of the sealing member and an inner peripheral surface of the valve chamber.

12. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing member abuts the regulating member and is not welded to the regulating member.

13. The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing member has a tubular shaped body and wherein a portion of the regulating member is received within the tubular shaped body of the sealing member.

14. The fuel supply pump according to claim 13 , wherein the welded portion is provided between an outer peripheral surface of the tubular shaped body and an inner peripheral surface of the valve chamber.
