Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-039086

  According to the fuel distribution pipe structure in such a conventional multiple throttle body, replacement of the fuel injection valve or maintenance work thereof cannot be simplified. This is due to the following reason. That is, a first mounting rod and a first support arm for screwing the fuel distribution pipe and each throttle body, a second mounting rod and a second support arm, a third mounting rod and a third support arm, Each of the fuel injections is made by removing the screw disposed between the fourth mounting flange and the fourth support arm, removing the fuel distribution pipe from each throttle body, and then moving each throttle body downward. This is because the valve needs to be removed from the fuel distribution pipe. According to the above, the adhering of the adjacent throttle body is released and the free state is established, so that after the maintenance operation of the fuel injection valve, the adjoining operation of each throttle body is required again. There is a drawback that the maintenance work cannot be easily performed. Further, in such a conventional one, a lot of development man-hours are required in order to form the fuel distribution pipe with the synthetic resin material. The fuel injection pipe is integrally formed with a first injection valve insertion hole, a second injection valve insertion hole, a first attachment flange, a second attachment flange, a third attachment flange, and a fourth attachment flange. This is because the fuel distribution pipe increases in size and increases in weight, and it is necessary to pay attention to vibration resistance particularly when mounted on a vehicle.

  This invention is made in view of the said subject, and improves the maintenance workability | operativity of a fuel injection valve. And it aims at providing the fuel distribution piping structure in the multiple throttle body which can use a synthetic resin material easily.

  In order to achieve the above object, the fuel distribution pipe structure in the multiple throttle body according to the present invention is such that a throttle body having a fuel injection valve is disposed adjacent to the side and opposed to each other, and fuel distribution toward each fuel injection valve is performed. In a fuel distribution pipe structure in a multiple throttle body to which fuel is supplied from a pipe, a distribution base member formed of a flat plate rigid material is connected to a communication hole and an injection valve support member from one end face to the other end face. A hole and a throttle body mounting hole are formed to penetrate therethrough, and on the other hand, the first mounting flange has one side end surface that forms a flat surface, and the mounting hole penetrates toward the one side end surface. The first injection valve support member drilled is provided with a first injection valve support boss formed in parallel to the one side end surface and a fuel inflow boss, and is opened to the one side end surface. To the first fuel communication path, The fuel inflow passage is communicated from the end of the fuel inflow boss and the fuel supply passage is communicated from the lower end of the first injection valve support boss through the injection valve support hole. A second injection valve support member having a one side end surface forming a flat surface and having an attachment hole penetrating through the one side end surface is formed in parallel with the one side end surface. A fuel supply path is communicated with a second fuel communication path provided with a support boss and opened toward the one side end face from the lower end of the second injection valve support boss through an injection valve support hole. The distribution base member is disposed between one side opposing side wall of the adjacent first throttle body and the other side opposing side wall of the second throttle body, and the first throttle body and the second throttle body via the throttle body mounting hole. Screwed to the distribution base By arranging one end face of the first injection valve support member on the other end face of the material, the first fuel communication passage and the communication hole are held in communication and the tip of the first throttle body is mounted. The rear end of the first fuel injection valve is inserted and held in the injection valve support hole, and further, the one side end face of the second injection valve support member is disposed on the one side end face of the distribution base member. 2 The fuel communication passage and the communication hole are kept in communication with each other, and the rear end of the second fuel injection valve whose tip is attached to the second throttle body is inserted and held in the injection valve support hole. The first feature is that the one injection valve support member, the distribution base member, and the second injection valve support member are screwed and fixed.

  According to the present invention, in addition to the first feature, the first injection valve support member and the second injection valve support member are made of a synthetic resin material, and the first fuel communication passage of the first injection valve support member, The second fuel communication passage of the two-injection valve support member is communicated with a tubular member disposed inside the communication hole of the distribution base member, and between one end outer periphery of the tubular member and the inner periphery of the first fuel passage. The first annular elastic member is disposed in a contracted manner, and the second annular elastic member is disposed in a contracted manner between the outer periphery of the other end of the tubular member and the inner periphery of the second fuel communication path.

  Furthermore, in addition to the first feature, the present invention is such that the first injection valve support member and the second injection valve support member are formed of a synthetic resin material, and the insertion hole faces toward one end face of the first injection valve support member. The fuel inflow passage is communicated with the insertion hole, the fuel supply passage is communicated with the fuel inflow passage, and an insertion projection protrudes from one end face of the second injection valve support member. And the fuel supply passage opens toward the tip of the insertion protrusion, and the insertion protrusion is inserted into the insertion hole inside the communication hole of the distribution base member, and the outer periphery of the insertion protrusion A third feature is that an annular elastic member is disposed in a contracted manner between the insertion hole and the inner periphery of the insertion hole.

  Further, in addition to the second and third features, the present invention provides a metal in the mounting hole of the first injection valve support, the injection valve support member mounting hole of the distribution base member, and the mounting hole of the second injection valve support. A cylindrical collar formed of a material is inserted and arranged, and the total length H in the bolt tightening direction of the cylindrical collar is set to the thickness of the first mounting flange of the first injection valve support, the plate thickness of the distribution base member, and the second injection valve. With respect to the total thickness N of the thicknesses of the second mounting flanges of the support body, H ≧ N and an elastic force is provided between the first injection valve support member, the distribution base member, and the second injection valve support member. A fourth feature is that the elastic pressing member having the above is contracted.

  According to the first feature of the fuel distribution pipe structure in the multiple throttle body of the present invention, the distribution base member is screwed to the side walls of the adjacent first and second throttle bodies by screws inserted into the throttle body mounting holes. It is held in a fixed state. Further, one side end face of the first injection valve support member is disposed on the other end face of the distribution base member, and one side end face of the second injection valve support member is disposed on the one end face of the distribution base member. The first injection valve support member, the distribution base member, and the second injection valve support member are screwed and fixed. The first fuel injection valve is sandwiched between the first throttle body and the first injection valve support member, and the second fuel injection valve is sandwiched between the second throttle body and the second injection valve support member. During maintenance work of the first and second fuel injection valves, the screwing between the distribution base member and the first and second injection valve support members is released. By moving along the other end surface of the distribution base member, the first fuel injection valve having the tip attached to the first throttle body can be removed. Further, the second fuel injection valve having the tip attached to the second throttle body can be removed by moving the one end face of the second injection valve support member along the one end face of the distribution base member. it can. As described above, the maintenance operation of the fuel injection valve is performed by releasing the screwing between the first and second injection valve support members and the distribution base member, and the one side end face of the first and second injection valve support members and the distribution base member. Since it only needs to move along the other side end face and the one side end face, the maintenance operation of the fuel injection valve can be performed very easily and in a short time. Further, during such work, each adjacent throttle body is still connected and fixed by the distribution base member, so there is no need to reassemble the throttle body, and the adjacent throttle body has an initial assembled state. It is maintained, and adjustment, inspection, etc. of a throttle link mechanism etc. arranged between adjacent throttle bodies are unnecessary. Further, the maintenance operation of the fuel injection valve can be performed with the throttle body attached to the engine. Further, since the distribution base member is formed of a flat plate rigid material, it is preferable for arranging the longitudinal axis lines of the first fuel injection valve and the second fuel injection valve close to each other. This is particularly suitable as a multiple throttle body for a V-type engine. Further, the distribution base member can be formed by stamping a metal plate material, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  According to the second feature of the present invention, the first injection valve support member and the second injection valve support member are made of a synthetic resin material, so that the material cost can be reduced and the weight can be reduced. The fuel supplied from the fuel inflow passage of the valve support member is supplied to the second fuel communication passage of the second injection valve support member via the first fuel communication passage and the tubular member, and among these, the outer circumference of one end of the tubular member and the first The first annular elastic member is disposed in a contracted manner between the inner periphery of the one fuel passage, and the second annular elastic member is disposed between the outer periphery of the other end of the tubular member and the inner periphery of the second fuel passage. Even if the injection valve support member moves in the longitudinal direction of the tubular member due to an error during injection molding of the valve support member, the airtightness of the fuel can be reliably maintained. Further, the management of the hole diameter of each fuel communication passage can be managed very easily by the plug gauge, and is easier than the management of the flatness of the flat surface, which is preferable in production.

  Further, according to the third feature of the present invention, the fuel inflow passage of the first injection valve support member and the fuel supply passage of the second injection valve support member are disposed in the insertion hole of the first fuel valve support member. Since it can contact by inserting the insertion protrusion of a support member, it is not necessary to prepare a special new connection member, and can reduce a number of parts and an assembly man-hour. Further, the airtightness at the insertion portion between the insertion hole and the insertion protrusion is maintained by an annular elastic member that is contracted between the outer periphery of the insertion tube portion and the inner periphery of the insertion hole.

  Furthermore, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the total length H of the cylindrical collar is equal to the total thickness of the thickness of the first mounting collar, the thickness of the distribution base member, and the thickness of the second mounting collar. Since H ≧ N with respect to N, the first attachment flange of the first injection valve support member and the second attachment flange of the second injection valve support member are screwed to the distribution base member with bolts. At this time, it is possible to prevent the bolt tightening force from directly acting on the first and second mounting flanges, which is preferable when the first and second injection valve support members are formed of a synthetic resin material. In addition, since the relationship of H ≧ N is satisfied, particularly in the state of H ≧ N, the first and second injection valve support members may be loose in the longitudinal axis direction of the bolt. Since the elastic pressing member is disposed between the injection valve support member, the distribution base member, and the second injection valve support member, the above play can be reliably absorbed.

The support member S is disposed in a contracted manner between the one end surface 6 of the support member S and the other end surface 2 of the distribution base member D. An elastic pressing member 73 is disposed in the second seal ring groove 27 that is recessed in the one end face 20 of the second injection valve support member P, and the elastic pressing member 73 is the second injection valve support member P. The one side end face 20 and the one side end face 1 of the distribution base member D are arranged in a contracted manner. Further, 74 is inserted into the mounting holes 10 and 10 of the first injection valve support member S, the injection valve support member mounting holes 4 and 4 of the distribution base member D, and the mounting holes 23 and 23 of the second injection valve support member P. The cylindrical collar 74 is formed as follows. The cylindrical collar 74 is formed of a metal material such as stainless steel or aluminum, and the length H in the longitudinal direction thereof is the thickness t1 of the first mounting flange portion 7 of the first injection valve support member S and the thickness t2 of the distribution base member D. In the relationship with the total thickness N of the thickness t3 of the second mounting flange 21 of the second injection valve support member P, H ≧ N is formed. Each length and thickness have tolerances in their manufacture, but the relationship of H ≦ N is maintained even when tolerances are taken into account.

  In this embodiment, the first injection valve support member S and the second injection valve support member N are formed by injection molding using a synthetic resin material such as PA66.

  According to the above embodiment, the first injection valve support member S disposed on the other side end surface 2 of the distribution base member D and the second injection valve support member P disposed on the one side end surface 1 of the distribution base member D. The cylindrical collars 74 and 74 are disposed in the mounting holes 10 and 10, the injection valve support member mounting holes 5 and 5, and the mounting holes 23 and 23, and the bolts 60 and 60 are inserted into the cylindrical collars 74 and 74. Part of the fuel that flows into the first fuel communication path 11 from the fuel inflow path 12 is partly supplied from the fuel supply path 13 to the first fuel injection valve. The other part of the fuel in the first fuel communication passage 11 is supplied to the second fuel injection valve Jb via the tubular member 70, the second fuel communication passage 24, and the fuel supply passage 25. At this time, the fuel in the first fuel communication passage 11 is airtightly held by the first annular elastic member 71 that is contracted between the one end outer periphery 70 a of the tubular member 70 and the inner periphery 11 a of the first fuel communication passage 11. The fuel in the second fuel communication path 24 is airtightly held by a second annular elastic member 72 that is contracted between the outer periphery 70 b of the other end of the tubular member 70 and the inner periphery 24 a of the second fuel communication path 24. The When the first and second injection valve support members S and P are manufactured using a synthetic resin material as described above, variations in molding in the longitudinal direction of the tubular member 70 (for example, variations in flatness of the one side end surfaces 6 and 20). However, even in this case, the first fuel communication passage 11 and the second fuel communication passage 24 are connected in the longitudinal direction by the tubular member 70, so that airtightness can be maintained well. Further, the management of the hole diameters of the first fuel communication passage 11 of the first injection valve support member S and the second fuel communication passage 24 of the second injection valve support member P is compared with the management of the flatness of the one side end surfaces 6 and 20. Since it can be carried out very easily by the plug gauge, it is particularly effective in an injection valve support member using a synthetic resin material that causes variation due to sink marks during molding.

  Further, according to the relationship that the thickness H of the cylindrical collar 74 is H ≧ N, the first and second injection valve support members S and P are connected to the bolt 60 through the cylindrical collar 74 with respect to the distribution base member D. When screwing with the nut 61, the tightening force by the bolt 60 is not directly applied to the first mounting flange 7 and the second mounting flange 21, but the first and second injection valve supports S, P Can be screwed well toward the distribution base member D. This is effective when the first and second injection valve support members S and P are formed using a synthetic resin material.

  Further, according to the relationship of the thickness H of the cylindrical collar 74 that H ≧ N, the distribution base member D is disposed between the other side end surface 2 and the one side end surface 6 of the first injection valve support member S, and is distributed. A gap is formed between the one side end face 1 of the base member D and the one side end face 20 of the second injection valve support member P, and fuel is not supplied from the fuel inflow passage 12, for example, during assembly and transportation, There may be rattling between the two injection valve support members S, P and the distribution base member D, but between the one end surface 6 of the first injection valve support member S and the other end surface 2 of the distribution base member D. And the elastic pressing member 73 is disposed in a contracted manner between the one side end face 20 of the second injection valve support member P and the one side end face 1 of the distribution base member D, thereby eliminating the backlash. The first and second injection valve support members S and P are formed of a synthetic resin material. When, is preferred.

  In this embodiment, when the first injection valve support member S and the second injection valve support member P are removed from the distribution base member D, the lower half of the tubular member 70 is escaped from the first fuel communication passage 11, and the second It is necessary to escape the upper half of the tubular member 70 from the fuel communication passage 24, but the first and second fuel communication passages 11, 24 and the injection valve support holes 14, 26 are located at a distance from each other. The rear end J1 of the fuel injection valve is inserted into the injection valve support holes 14 and 26 through an elastic member such as an O-ring. The one end face 6 of the first injection valve support member S can be moved away from the other end face 2 of the distribution base member D in the direction E, and the one end face 20 of the second injection valve support member P is moved to the distribution base member D. The separation base member D and the first and second injection valve support members S and P can be easily separated and moved. The separating directions E and F are shown in FIG.

An insertion hole 80 is opened and recessed toward the one end face 6 of the first injection valve support member S, and the fuel inflow path 12 is communicated toward the bottom of the insertion hole 80. The fuel supply path 13 that branches toward the injection valve support hole branches off. Further, an insertion projection 81 inserted into the insertion hole is formed so as to protrude from the one end face 20 of the second injection valve support member P, and the fuel drilled in the second injection valve support member P The supply path 25 opens at the tip 81 a of the insertion protrusion 81. One end surface 6 of the first injection valve support S is disposed on the other end surface 2 of the distribution base member D, and an insertion hole 80 is disposed inward of the communication hole 3 of the distribution base member D. The one-side end face 20 of the two-injection valve support P is disposed on the one-side end face 1 of the distribution base member D, and the insertion protrusion 81 is inward of the communication hole 3 of the distribution base member D and the insertion hole 80 is inserted and arranged. The annular elastic member 82 is disposed in a contracted manner between the outer periphery 81 b of the insertion protrusion 81 and the inner periphery 80 a of the insertion hole 80. The first and second injection valve support members S, P in the above state are screwed and fixed to the distribution base member D by bolts 60 and nuts 61 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. According to the above, the fuel in the fuel inflow passage 12 is supplied to the fuel supply passage 13 of the first injection valve support member S, and the fuel in the fuel inflow passage 12 further enters the fuel supply passage 25 of the second injection valve support member P. Further, the airtightness between the insertion hole 80 and the insertion protrusion 81 is held by the annular elastic member 82. According to this embodiment, the first and second injection valve support members S and P are preferably formed of a synthetic resin material as in the above embodiment, and the tubular member 70 is particularly abolished with respect to the above embodiment.
