Abstract

A cylinder is configured into a bottomed tubular form and includes an inner peripheral wall, an inner bottom wall, an outer peripheral wall and an intake hole and a discharge hole. The inner peripheral wall slidably guides the plunger. The intake hole and the discharge hole communicate between the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall. A pump housing includes a cylinder receiving hole that includes an inner peripheral wall, into which the cylinder is inserted. A pressurizing chamber is formed by the inner peripheral wall and the inner bottom wall of the cylinder and a distal end outer wall of the plunger.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A high pressure pump comprising:
a housing that forms a pressurizing chamber in an inside of the housing; and
a cover that receives the housing and forms a fuel gallery, into which fuel is supplied, in an inside of the cover, wherein:
the cover includes a bottom portion and a peripheral wall portion, which are formed integrally as a one-piece body and are both exposed to the fuel gallery, while the peripheral wall portion, which is shaped into a tubular form, extends in a predetermined direction from the bottom portion and circumferentially surrounds the housing, and the pressurizing chamber is located within an extent of the fuel gallery in the predetermined direction at an inside of the peripheral wall portion;
the fuel gallery receives a pulsation damper;
an exposed part of the peripheral wall portion, which is exposed to the fuel gallery, is opposed to the pulsation damper in a radial direction of the housing and the cover;
the housing has a planar part that includes a flat outer surface;
the peripheral wall portion of the cover has a planar part that includes a flat outer surface, while the planar part of the cover is opposed to the planar part of the housing in the radial direction;
a hole is formed in the planar part of the housing;
a hole is formed in the planar part of the cover; and
the hole of the housing and the hole of the cover are aligned with each other in the radial direction.

2. A high pressure pump comprising:
a housing that forms a pressurizing chamber in an inside of the housing, wherein the housing has a hole;
a cover that receives the housing and forms a fuel gallery, into which fuel is supplied, in an inside of the cover, wherein:
the cover includes a bottom portion and a peripheral wall portion, which are formed integrally as a one-piece body and are both exposed to the fuel gallery, while the peripheral wall portion, which is shaped into a tubular form, extends in a predetermined direction from the bottom portion and circumferentially surrounds the housing, and the pressurizing chamber is located within an extent of the fuel gallery in the predetermined direction at an inside of the peripheral wall portion;
the fuel gallery receives a pulsation damper;
an exposed part of the peripheral wall portion, which is exposed to the fuel gallery, is opposed to the pulsation damper in a radial direction of the housing and the cover; and
the peripheral wall portion of the cover has a hole; and

a component that is received in the hole of the housing and the hole of the cover.

3. The high pressure pump according to claim 2 , further comprising an inlet pipe that is joined to the cover and conducts fuel to be supplied to the fuel gallery.

4. The high pressure pump according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the housing and the cover has a planar part that includes a flat outer surface.

5. The high pressure pump according to claim 4 , wherein the planar part of the at least one of the housing and the cover has a corresponding one of the hole of the housing and the hole of the cover.

6. The high pressure pump according to claim 2 , wherein
a cross section of the cover, which is taken in a direction that is perpendicular to a central axis of the peripheral wall portion of the cover, is configured into a circular form or a polygonal form.

7. A high pressure pump comprising:
a housing that forms a pressurizing chamber in an inside of the housing;
a cover that receives the housing and forms a fuel gallery, into which fuel is supplied, in an inside of the cover, wherein:
the cover includes a bottom portion and a peripheral wall portion, which are formed integrally as a one-piece body and are both exposed to the fuel gallery, while the peripheral wall portion, which is shaped into a tubular form, extends in a predetermined direction from the bottom portion and circumferentially surrounds the housing, and the pressurizing chamber is located within an extent of the fuel gallery in the predetermined direction at an inside of the peripheral wall portion;
the fuel gallery receives a pulsation damper; and
an exposed part of the peripheral wall portion, which is exposed to the fuel gallery, is opposed to the pulsation damper in a radial direction of the housing and the cover;

an inlet pipe that is joined to the cover and conducts fuel to be supplied to the fuel gallery; and
the inlet pipe is joined only to the cover.

8. The high pressure pump according to claim 7 , wherein the inlet pipe is joined to a side surface of the peripheral wall portion of the cover.

9. The high pressure pump according to claim 7 , wherein a central axis of the inlet pipe at a connection between the cover and the inlet pipe extends through the housing.

10. A high pressure pump comprising:
a housing that forms a pressurizing chamber in an inside of the housing; and
a cover that receives the housing and forms a fuel gallery, into which fuel is supplied, in an inside of the cover, wherein:
the fuel gallery receives a pulsation damper;
the cover includes a bottom portion and a peripheral wall portion, which are formed integrally as a one-piece body and are both exposed to the fuel gallery, while the peripheral wall portion, which is shaped into a tubular form, extends in a predetermined direction from the bottom portion and circumferentially surrounds the housing;
the pressurizing chamber is located within an extent of the fuel gallery in the predetermined direction at an inside of the peripheral wall portion; and
two opposite regions of the fuel gallery, which are opposite to each other about a central axis of the peripheral wall portion, are located on one radial side and an opposite radial side of the pressurizing chamber in a plane that is perpendicular to the central axis of the peripheral wall portion.

11. The high pressure pump according to claim 10 , further comprising a pipe that is joined to the cover and conducts the fuel.
