Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roller tappet assembly, more particularly relates to a multifunctional clip for the roller tappet assembly. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a fuel injection pump, in particular a high-pressure fuel pump, comprising such a roller tappet assembly.
  • Existing fuel injection pumps comprising tappet assembly have a separate housings or clips for roller and piston of a tappet.
  • One of the housings serve the purpose of retaining the plunger in position and other housing is used to keep the roller and shoe in position.
  • FIG. 1 shows cross sectional view of the roller tappet assembly according to the prior art.
  • the roller clip according to the prior art is not a multifunctional part.
  • the tappet assembly comprises additional parts such as a clip, a spring retainer and a support ring.
  • the roller clip is not limiting the roller movement in the roller axis.
  • the tappet assembly comprises more number of parts which increases the manufacturing cost.
  • roller clip is not multi-functional and also the number of components are more in the tappet assembly.
  • US 2009/0071446 A1 discloses a tappet assembly with a roller clip which comprises a piston holding portion, a spring supporting surface and a pair of extended portions of the spring supporting surface configured to act as a restricting element to prevent movement of the roller, wherein the extended portions are formed as straight portions.
  • WO 2012/080330 A1 discloses a tappet assembly, wherein a roller of the tappet assembly is guided in a roller shoe.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a roller clip which is multi functional in nature and also the tappet assembly having less number of components which is economical as well.
  • a tappet assembly in particular for fuel injection pumps, comprising a piston, a spring enclosing the piston, a shoe configured to accommodate a roller and a roller clip.
  • the roller clip comprises a piston holding portion, a spring supporting surface, a pair of extended portions of the spring supporting surface.
  • the piston can be attached to the piston holding portion by any of the ways but not limited to the way such as press fitting or circlipping or welding.
  • the pair of extended portions of the spring supporting surface is configured to act as a restricting element to prevent movement of the roller.
  • the extended portions of the spring supporting surface comprise a bulged profile at its bottom end and the axis of the bulged profile is in line with axis of the roller.
  • the spring sits onto the spring supporting surface of the roller clip.
  • the tappet assembly comprises the roller clip assembled in such a way that a clearance is provided between the roller clip and the shoe.
  • the tappet assembly comprises the roller clip is made as a single unit and can be made of metallic and non-metallic material.
  • the disclosure provides for a method of assembling a tappet assembly comprising acts of placing a roller into a shoe; attaching a piston to a piston holding portion of the roller clip by predetermined way such as press fitting, circlipping and welding; placing a spring onto a spring supporting surface of the roller clip; and placing assembled roller and the shoe into extended portions of the spring supporting surface.
  • the piston contacts the shoe after assembling.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates cross sectional view of the tappet assembly 1 according to the present disclosure.
  • the tappet assembly 1 comprises a piston 2, a spring 3 enclosing the piston 2, a shoe 4 configured to accommodate a roller 5 and a roller clip 6.
  • the roller clip 6 comprises a piston holding portion 7, a spring supporting surface 8, and a pair of extended portions 9 of the spring supporting surface 8.
  • the pair of extending portions 9 is configured to act as a restricting element to prevent movement of the roller 5.
  • the extended portions 9 are extended downwards to middle or axis (B-B) of the roller 5.
  • the extended portion 9 of the spring supporting surface 9 further includes a bulged profile 10 at its bottom end. The bulged profile 10 is made by punching the extended portion 9 from exterior surface.
  • axis of the bulged profile 10 is aligned with axis (A-A) of the roller 5 in order to have a stable holding which increases total stability of the tappet assembly 1. Rotation of the roller 5 at its axis is zero which is limiting axial movement of the shoe 4 and leads to less wear of both the roller clip 6 and the shoe 4.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a cross sectional front view of the tappet assembly according to the present disclosure. It also illustrates that the roller 5 is placed into the shoe 4 before assembling with roller clip 6 of the tappet assembly 1. The piston 2 is attached to the by the piston holding portion 7 of the roller clip 6.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a top view of the tappet assembly 1 according to the present disclosure.
  • the shoe 4 is guided on its outer diameter and movement of the shoe 4 is limited. Further, a venting channel is created around the shoe 4 since there is no side guidance of shoe 4 is observed.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of the assembled tappet assembly 1 according to the present disclosure.
  • the spring 3 encloses the piston 2 and sits on the roller clip 6.
  • the spring 3 is retained by the roller clip 6 as it compresses and expands during working of the tappet assembly 1.
  • the piston 2 of the tappet assembly 1 can be attached to the piston holding portion 7 by any of the ways but not limiting to press fitting or circlipping method and by way of welding.
  • the piston holding portion 7 of the roller clip 6 is made such that the piston 2 contacts top surface of the shoe 4 of the tappet assembly 1 after complete assembling.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an exploded view of the tappet assembly according to the present disclosure.
  • a method of assembling a tappet assembly 1 comprising acts of placing a roller 5 into a shoe 4, attaching a piston 2 to a piston holding portion 7 of the roller clip 6 by predetermined way but not limited to a way selected from a group comprising press fitting, circlipping and welding, placing a spring 3 onto a spring supporting surface 8 of the roller clip 6, and placing the assembled roller 5 and the shoe 4 into extended portions 9 of the spring supporting surface 8.
  • the extended portions 9 of the spring supporting surface 9 comprise a bulged profile 10 at its bottom end on each of the extended portions 9 and are aligned with axis (A-A) of the roller 5.
  • the piston 2 contacts top surface of the shoe 4 after assembling. After assembling the roller clip 6, the translation or movement of the roller 5 in its axial direction is limited. During downward motion of the piston 2, the spring 3 applies load onto the spring supporting surface 8 and then onto the roller clip 6 which in turn transfers force/load to the roller 5.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a side view of the tappet assembly 1 according to the present disclosure.
  • the roller clip 6 is assembled in such a way that a clearance (B) on all the sides is provided between the roller clip 6 and the shoe 4.
  • the roller clip 6 is configured into a single unit and can be made of material selected from any of the material such as metallic and non-metallic materials.
  • the sequence of upward motion of force is as follows. Firstly, the roller 5 which is in contact with a cam lobe (not shown) of a cam of an engine contacts the shoe 4. Secondly, force from the shoe 4 is transmitted to the piston 2 and which further transmits the force through the roller clip 6 and lastly the forces from the roller clip 6 is transmitted to the spring 3. It can be summarized as follows:
  • the tappet assembly 1 could find its application in a fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle.
  • the roller clip is a single piece that serves multiple functions and thus the roller clip is multifunctional in nature.
  • the roller clip fits compactly and saves room at the bottom of the piston.
  • the tappet assembly comprising the roller clip is less weight which has a positive effect on the moving masses.
  • the tappet assembly is economical as the cost of a separate housing, a clip to hold the shoe, and another clip to retain the spring is eliminated.
  • the tappet assembly comprising a shoe guided about its outer diameter has enhanced ventilation possibilities.
