Description
- The present invention relates to an electromagnetic fuel pump which draws in and pressurizes fuel stored inside a fuel tank and supplies this fuel to an internal combustion engine, and more particularly relates to an in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump which is disposed inside the fuel tank in a state in which this fuel pump is submerged in the fuel inside this fuel tank. as shown in document EP 822 330 A.
- further pump is shown in US 4 150 924 A.
- Conventionally, in vehicles, as is shown in Fig. 3, fuel F stored in a
fuel tank 1 is drawn in and pressurized by afuel pump 2 so that this fuel F is supplied to theintake passage 3 of an internal combustion engine via (for example) afuel injection device 4. - Furthermore, a so-called in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump which is disposed in a state in which this fuel pump is submerged in the fuel F inside the fuel tank is known as the
fuel pump 2. - Furthermore, as is shown in Fig. 4, this
electromagnetic fuel pump 2 comprises acylinder 6 that forms a pressurizingchamber 5, aplunger 7 which is slidably mounted inside thiscylinder 6, aninner yoke 8 which is disposed so as to surround theplunger 7, a pair ofsprings plunger 7 and both end parts of theinner yoke 8, and which hold theplunger 7 in a neutral position, abobbin 12 which is disposed so as to surround theinner yoke 8, and around which is wound asolenoid coil 11 that moves theplunger 7 in the intake direction by exciting thisplunger 7, and amolding 13 in which these constituent members are accommodated. - Furthermore, an
outlet check valve 14 which is pushed open by the pressurized fuel F is installed on one end part of thecylinder 6, on the side on which the pressurizingchamber 5 is formed, and afuel introduction hole 16 is formed in the interior part of theplunger 7 such that thefuel introduction hole 16 communicates with afuel inlet passage 15 formed in the opposite side of theplunger 7 from the pressurizingchamber 15, and also communicates with the pressurizingchamber 15. Aninlet check valve 17 is disposed at an intermediate point in thefuel introduction hole 16, so that thisinlet check valve 17 is opened when the plunger is moved in the intake direction so that the pressure in the pressurizingchamber 5 is reduced, thus allowing the flow of fuel F from the dfuel introduction hole 16 into the pressurizingchamber 5, and is closed when theplunger 7 is moved in the pressurizing direction. - In the
electromagnetic fuel pump 2 constructed as described above, when the excitation by thesolenoid coil 11 is stopped, theplunger 7 is moved in the pressurizing direction by thespring 9, whereby, the fuel F inside the pressurizingchamber 5 is pressurized, and at the point in time at which the pressure of this fuel F exceeds a specified value, theoutlet check valve 14 is opened, and the fuel F is discharged. - Furthermore, when a driving current flows through the
solenoid coil 11, theplunger 7 is excited by thissolenoid coil 11 and caused to move in the intake direction. As a result of this movement, theoutlet check valve 14 is closed and the pressure in the pressurizingchamber 5 is reduced. Theinlet check valve 17 is thereby opened, and fuel F is drawn into the pressurizingchamber 5 via thefuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction hole 16. - Fuel F is successively discharged by the repetition of the above operation.
- In such a conventional
electromagnetic fuel pump 2, the following problems requiring amelioration remain. - Specifically, during the discharge operation of the fuel F, heat is generated in the
solenoid coil 11 as a result of the flow of current through thissolenoid coil 11, or heat is generated as a result of friction during the sliding movement of theplunger 7. - Furthermore, the fuel F inside the
fuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction hole 16 is heated by this heat via theinner yoke 8 andcylinder 6, so that vapor is generated in this fuel F. - When vapor is thus generated in the fuel F inside the
fuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction hole 16, this vapor is sucked into the pressurizingchamber 5 via theinlet check valve 17, thus leading to the problem of a drop in the pump discharge capacity. - The present invention was devised in the light of such conventional problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide an in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump which makes it possible to prevent vapor in the fuel from entering the pressurizing chamber even if such vapor is generated as a result of the generation of heat in the solenoid coil itself or during the sliding movement of the plunger.
- In order to achieve the object, the in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump according to
claim 1 of the present application is an in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump which is disposed inside a fuel tank, and comprises a cylinder that forms a pressurizing chamber, a plunger which is slidably mounted inside this cylinder, an inner yoke which is attached to the outer circumference of the cylinder, and a bobbin which is disposed so that it surrounds the inner yoke, and around which a solenoid coil that excites the plunger is wound. In this electromagnetic fuel pump, a fuel circulation passage is formed on the outside of the cylinder along the longitudinal direction of this cylinder, and both end portions of this fuel circulation passage open into the interior of the fuel tank in the vicinity of both end portions of the cylinder in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder. - The in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump according to

claim 5 of the present application is characterized in that the inner yoke described in any ofclaims 1 through 4 is divided into two parts in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder, and [these parts] are disposed at a specified spacing in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder, so that a portion of the cylinder is exposed to the fuel circulation passage. -
- Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view which shows one embodiment of the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view which shows one embodiment of the present invention;
- Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram which shows an example of the construction of the fuel supply system in an internal combustion engine; and
- Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view which shows an example of prior art.
- An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 and 2.
- Furthermore, in the following description, since the principal constituent members of the fuel supply system shown in Fig. 3 and the in-tank electromagnetic fuel pump shown in Fig. 4 are common to both systems, these common parts are labeled with same symbols, and description of these common parts is omitted.
- The in-tank electromagnetic fuel pump of the present embodiment, which is indicated by the
symbol 20 in Fig. 1, is an in-tank electromagnetic fuel pump which is disposed inside afuel tank 1. This electromagnetic fuel pump has an overall construction which comprises acylinder 6 that forms apressurizing chamber 5, aplunger 7 which is slidably mounted inside thiscylinder 6, aninner yoke 8 which is attached to the outer circumference of thecylinder 6, and abobbin 21 which is disposed so as to surround theinner yoke 8, and around which asolenoid coil 11 that excites theplunger 7 is wound, and in which afuel circulation passage 22 is formed on the outside of thecylinder 6 along the longitudinal direction of thiscylinder 6, and both end parts of thisfuel circulation passage 22 open into the interior of thefuel tank 1 in the vicinity of both end parts in the longitudinal direction of thecylinder 6. - To describe this in greater detail, the
inner yoke 8 is divided into two parts in the longitudinal direction of thecylinder 6, and these parts are attached with a specified spacing in the longitudinal direction of thecylinder 6, so that a portion of thecylinder 6 is exposed to thefuel circulation passage 22 between these two parts of theinner yoke 8. - The
fuel circulation passage 22 is formed bygrooves 23 that are formed in the inside surface of thebobbin 21 along the entire length of thisbobbin 21. As is shown in Fig. 2, thesegrooves 23 are formed in four places at specified intervals in the circumferential direction of thecylinder 6. - Furthermore, both end parts of these
grooves 23 are caused to communicate with the outside of the in-tankelectromagnetic fuel pump 20, that is, with the interior of thefuel tank 1, viaopening parts 13a and 13b that are formed in both end parts of themolding 13. - In the in-tank type
electromagnetic fuel pump 20 of the present embodiment constructed as described above, as in a conventional electromagnetic fuel pump, theplunger 7 is caused to perform a reciprocating motion through thecylinder 6 by the repeated excitation and de-excitation of thisplunger 7 by thesolenoid coil 11. As a result, fuel F is sucked into the pressurizingchamber 5 from thefuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction hole 16 via theinlet check valve 17. Furthermore, as a result of the pressurization of the fuel F inside the pressurizingchamber 5, this fuel F is supplied to thefuel injection device 4 via theoutlet check valve 14. - During the operation of such an in-tank
electromagnetic fuel pump 20, heat is generated by the passage of current through thesolenoid coil 11; furthermore, heat is also generated by the sliding movement of theplunger 7. This heat is transmitted to the fuel F inside thefuel circulation passage 22. - Here, when the fuel F inside the
fuel circulation passage 22 is heated, the density of the fuel drops, so that this fuel F moves toward both end parts of thefuel circulation passage 22, and flows out from theopening parts 13a and 13b at the opposite ends of themolding 13, into thefuel tank 1. - Since such a flow of the fuel F is continuous, a continuous flow of fuel F is formed inside the
fuel circulation passage 22. - Consequently, low-temperature fuel F inside the
fuel tank 1 is supplied to the interior of thefuel circulation passage 22. As a result, heated fuel F is removed from the surface of theinner yoke 8, and low-temperature fuel F is caused to contact this surface, so that the rise in the temperature of theinner yoke 8, and therefore the rise in the temperature of thecylinder 6 that is contacted by thisinner yoke 8, is inhibited (specifically, theinner yoke 8 andcylinder 6 are cooled); furthermore, the heating of the fuel F inside thefuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction passage 16 is inhibited. - Accordingly, the generation of vapor in the fuel F inside the
fuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction passage 16 is prevented, and the entry of vapor into the pressurizingchamber 5 is prevented. - As a result, the drop in the discharge capacity of the in-tank type
electromagnetic fuel pump 20 is inhibited. - Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since a portion of the
cylinder 6 is exposed to thefuel circulation passage 22, the cooling action of the fuel F inside thefuel circulation passage 22 on thecylinder 6 is efficiently accomplished; as a result, the effect that prevents the generation of vapor in the fuel F inside thefuel inlet passage 15 andfuel introduction passage 16 is greatly heightened. - Meanwhile, it might be envisioned that vapor will be generated in the fuel F inside the
fuel circulation passage 22 as a result of the fuel F inside thisfuel circulation passage 22 being heated; however, if vapor is thus generated inside thefuel circulation passage 22, this vapor is also released into thefuel tank 1 from the opposite end parts of thefuel circulation passage 22 via theopening parts 13a and 13b in the opposite ends of themolding 13. - Furthermore, during the movement of vapor as described above, the fuel F inside the
fuel circulation passage 22 is pushed out by this vapor, thus causing the fuel F inside thisfuel circulation passage 22 to be forcibly moved. - This results from the fact that a bubble pump is formed by the vapor.
- Accordingly, the movement of the fuel F inside the
fuel circulation passage 22 is accomplished forcibly and securely, so that the cooling action on theinner yoke 8 andcylinder 6 is enhanced. - Furthermore, the vapor generated inside the
fuel circulation passage 22 is caused to move to the top of thefuel tank 1 by buoyancy at the point of time when this vapor is discharged to the outside of themolding 13, and the vapor is released into the upper space of thefuel tank 1. - Accordingly, no vapor will enter the
fuel inlet passage 15. - Thus, in the in-tank type
electromagnetic fuel pump 20 of the present embodiment, the heat generated from thesolenoid coil 11 and heat generated by the sliding movement of theplunger 7 during the discharge operation is efficiently removed, so that vapor can be prevented from entering in the fuel F that is sucked into the pressurizingchamber 5. - Furthermore, by utilizing the buoyancy of the vapor that is generated around the
inner yoke 8 andcylinder 6 to cause forcible circulation of the fuel F around thisinner yoke 8 andcylinder 6, it is possible to remove the heat around theinner yoke 8 andcylinder 6 in an efficient manner. - The shapes, dimensions and the like of the constituent members shown in the embodiment are just examples; various alterations may be made on the basis of design requirements and the like.
- For example, it would also be possible to install a collar between the
bobbin 21 and theinner yoke 8, and to form thefuel circulation passage 22 in this collar. - In the in-tank type electromagnetic fuel pump of the present invention, as was described above, the heat generated from the solenoid coil and heat generated by the sliding movement of the plunger during the discharge operation can be efficiently removed, so that vapor can be prevented from entering in the fuel that is sucked into the pressurizing chamber.
- Accordingly, a drop in the discharge capacity can be prevented.
- Furthermore, by utilizing the buoyancy of the vapor that is generated around the inner yoke and cylinder to cause forcible circulation of the fuel around this inner yoke and cylinder, it is possible to remove the heat around the inner yoke and cylinder in an efficient manner, and the effect that prevents vapor from entering the pressurizing chamber can be heightened.
