Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements to pumps for injection of high pressure gasoline of the type comprising a piston displacing hydraulic fluid in a deformable element such as a bellows, the deformations of said bellows in a cylindrical chamber filled with fuel causing a effect of pumping said fuel to high pressure injectors.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution to two problems that the mounting of this type of pump on motors.
  • the first problem is that on some engines it is necessary to integrate the high-pressure direct injection pump at the end of the camshaft or on the transmission pulleys and not directly on the cylinder head.
  • an angle gear is necessary, which entails various disadvantages, such as: bulkiness of the pump, need for an adaptation box, lubrication means, noise, wear of elements etc ...
  • the second problem stems from the fact that for such an assembly it is necessary to provide an operating clearance between the drive means of the pump and the latter, such as the Oldham seal type.
  • the pump When the pump is single-piston, there will be significant variations in the resistive torque of the pump, with even, possibly negative peaks, variations that can lead to detachment of the contacting faces that transmit the torque, detachment that is generating returns of torque in the motor shaft. These torque returns are a disruptive element for the operation of the engine such as: torque surges on the camshaft or timing chain, unacceptable noise.
  • the solution to the first problem is to design the pump so that the oil part includes not only the pumping part but also the entire drive and angle transmission part.
  • the solution of the second problem is to have a free wheel between the drive shaft and the cam.
  • the pump according to the invention comprises a drive shaft 1, connected by an Oldham seal 2 to the drive member (camshaft for example) not shown.
  • This tree is carried by a housing 3.
  • This shaft carries a cam 5, which in the example shown has four lobes 6.
  • a piston 10 is supported by means of a spring 11, against the cam 5, with the interposition between the piston 10 and the cam 5 of a roller 7, carried by a shaft 8 by means of a roller bearing. needles 9.
  • a support piece 12 is interposed between the roller 7 and the piston 10.
  • This support piece 12 advantageously consists of two bowls 12a, 12b, separated by a partition 12c provided with a plurality of orifices 23.
  • the outer wall of the support piece 12 has recesses which facilitate the passage of the oil around this piece 12.
  • the end 13a of the sleeve 13 enters a bellows 14, provided at its lower end with a circular piece 15, carbontentioned by a return spring 16.
  • a disk 17 which has in its center a bore 19, in which slides a finger 18, carried by said circular part 15 at its center. This ensures correct guidance of the bellows 14 during its successive elongations.
  • the guiding of the bellows 14 makes it possible to decrease and to adjust as best as possible the diameter of the chamber 20 in which said bellows is struggling; this chamber 20 being filled with fuel.
  • This room 21; the bore 22 inside which the roller 7, the bearing piece 12 and the upper part of the piston 10 slide; the internal bore 10a of said piston; the internal bore of the sheath 13 and the inside of the bellows 14 are filled by the hydraulic fluid.
  • This liquid passes around the part 12 and also inside where it passes through the partition 12a through the orifices 23; then it enters the internal bore 10a of the piston 10 through the orifice 24 and passes through the disc 17 through the orifices 25.
  • a volume compensator 26 which communicates with the chamber 21 in which the cam 5 ( figure 1 ).
  • a nonreturn valve 28 is disposed in the internal bore 10a of the piston 10.
  • the figure 3 represents an alternative embodiment of the upper part of the figure 2 illustrating the drive mechanism of the cam 5.
  • the cam 5 is, in this example, in one piece with the drive shaft 1, the Oldham 2 seal transmission comprising a freewheel mechanism 3.
  • the cam portion 5 comprises a cylindrical bowl 32 in which is engaged a cylindrical axis 31 with interposition between said axis 31 and the inner wall of the bowl of a guide member.
  • the bearing 4 carrying the shaft 1 is located outside the housing 3, the lip seal 30 being in the housing 3, between the bearing 4 and the cam 5.
  • the bearing 4 is not lubricated by the hydraulic oil but by the engine oil.
