Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel piston pump according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as sets of fuel piston plug pumps according to the independent claim.
  • the invention has the advantage that a total weight of a fuel piston-type plug-in pump can be reduced, with portions of a comparatively thick-walled housing of the fuel piston plug-in pump being replaced by a comparatively thin-walled sheet-metal deep-drawing element. Costs can also be reduced, as a material usage and a chipping cost for the housing of the fuel piston pump can be reduced. Also in the production of the fuel piston plug concentricity error between a piston guide in the housing and a receiving area of a piston seal in a coupling portion (seal carrier) of the fuel piston pump can be compensated. In this case, a transmitted by means of the piston seal on a piston of the fuel piston pump lateral force can be reduced. Thereby, wear between the piston and the piston guide in the housing can be reduced. Likewise, wear of the piston seal can be reduced.
  • the invention relates to a fuel piston pump with a housing, at least one arranged in the housing axially movable piston, and a coupling portion which is inserted in operation in an installation opening of a mounting structure and carries a housing seal for sealing between the coupling portion and mounting structure.
  • the fuel piston plug pump is for example an element of a fuel system for an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle.
  • the per se known object of the housing seal is to prevent or at least minimize leakage of liquid media (for example engine oil) from the mounting structure into other areas of the internal combustion engine.
  • said coupling section is a separate element from the housing. Due to this special design, the coupling section can be designed in various embodiments and yet comparatively simple. In this case, tolerance-related radial asymmetries with respect to the piston can be minimized.
  • the fuel piston pump is particularly easy to produce, because the coupling portion is a sheet-deep-drawing element. This can reduce the weight of the fuel piston pump and save costs.
  • the coupling section is welded or compressed fluid-tight with the housing.
  • a particularly durable fuel-tight connection between the coupling portion and the housing can be produced.
  • the compression and in a subsequent second manufacturing step the welding done.
  • the coupling section has a holding section for holding the piston seal.
  • the piston seal encloses a radially outer portion of the piston so that leakage of fuel from the fuel piston pump into the mounting structure, or vice versa, leakage of liquid media (eg engine oil) from the mounting structure into the fuel piston pump can be prevented or at least minimized ,
  • liquid media eg engine oil
  • the fuel piston pump of the coupling portion is made in two parts, with a first portion which carries the housing seal, and the holding portion as a second portion.
  • the coupling section can be produced in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner, it being possible to design each of the two parts with comparatively few diameter steps.
  • an overall length of the coupling portion can be shortened.
  • the coupling section has a guide section for guiding a piston spring.
  • the piston spring is a pressure-loaded coil spring, which axially presses the piston during operation of the fuel piston pump, the piston against a piston driving the fuel piston cam of the internal combustion engine.
  • the coupling portion is connected via an axially extending collar with the housing.
  • the coupling portion on the housing - as already partially explained above - first pressed and then welded. This allows a particularly simple and durable connection.
  • the coupling portion is connected via a radially extending flange with the housing. Because - in contrast to the above-described axially extending collar - no radial positive connection between the coupling portion and the housing is present, in the manufacture of the fuel piston pump, the coupling portion, which is initially positioned by means of the holding portion and the piston seal radially on the piston , optimally positioned radially with respect to the housing of the fuel piston pump. As a result, in particular the concentricity errors described above can be minimized.
  • the fuel piston pump is improved when the housing seal rests against a shoulder of the coupling portion and is axially secured by a cover on the coupling portion.
  • the shoulder of the coupling portion forms a first part of a radially outwardly arranged on the coupling portion annular groove and the cover an associated second part.
  • the cover By the cover, an axial extrusion of the housing seal can be prevented from the annular groove of the coupling portion. This allows a particularly safe installation or operation of the fuel piston pump.
  • the fuel piston pump is executed in several sets (embodiments, types), it may be provided according to the invention that differ the fuel piston pumps of a set of the fuel piston pumps of another set essentially only by the configuration of the coupling portion.
  • particularly versatile embodiments of the fuel piston pump are made possible if this is produced in series in various designs.
  • these embodiments can be carried out particularly inexpensively, because only the coupling portion is different.
  • FIG. 1 shows a fuel delivery device 10 for a further not shown internal combustion engine in a much simplified representation.
  • a fuel tank 12 fuel via a suction line 14, by means of a prefeed pump 16, via a low pressure line 18, and via an actuatable by an electromagnetic actuator 20 ("solenoid") quantity control valve 22 a high pressure fuel pump - hereinafter referred to as fuel piston pump 24 fed.

  • the mass control valve 22 may be closed and opened in response to a respective demand for fuel.
  • the fuel is for example gasoline or diesel fuel.
  • FIG. 2 shows a portion of the fuel piston plug pump 24 in a sectional view.
  • the illustrated section of the fuel piston plug pump 24 is designed substantially rotationally symmetrical about a longitudinal axis 33.
  • the fuel piston plug pump 24 comprises the housing 27, which in the present case is designed as a solid housing block and has a piston guide 36, in which the piston 23 is arranged axially movable.

  • the coupling section 38 is designed as a sheet-metal deep-drawing element.
  • the fuel piston plug pump 24 is inserted with the coupling portion 38 in an installation opening 40 of a mounting structure 32, for example, a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine.
  • the installation opening 40 is essentially cylindrical and comprises two diameter steps (without reference numerals).
  • a circumferentially circumferential housing seal 42 is arranged, which is designed here as an O-ring.
  • the coupling section 38 is also designed substantially rotationally symmetrical and has approximately a T-shape in the illustrated sectional view.
  • the coupling section 38 has a holding section 44, in which a piston seal 46 is arranged.

  • the end portion 29 of the piston 23 may rest on the cam plate 31 (see FIGS FIG. 1 ).
  • the coupling portion 38 In a middle area of the FIG. 2 is at the coupling portion 38 and the housing seal 42 a present designed as an annular disc cover 48 arranged.
  • the cover 48 supplements the coupling portion 38 to a radially circumferential groove (annular groove 49), so that the housing seal 42 is arranged positively therein and its extrusion from the annular groove 49 is thus prevented.
  • a spring plate 50 is fixedly connected thereto.
  • a helical spring piston spring 52 is arranged.
  • an axial section of the piston spring 52 encloses a radially outer region of the coupling section 38, whereby a guide section 54 for guiding the piston spring 52 is formed on the coupling section 38.
