roller 12 and theshoe 13, so that thecamshaft 21 operates before the friction portion M1 between theroller 12 and theshoe 13 is sufficiently lubricated, and in this case, not only the friction portion M1 between theroller 12 and theshoe 13 under large compressive load is severely worn, but thehigh pressure pump 10 is broken due to burning and sticking, if excessive. - An exemplar of the prior art is Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0051372

- A
high pressure pump 10 for a common rail system according to various embodiments of the present invention, as shown inFIGS. 3 to 5 , includes apump housing 11, aroller 12, ashoe 13, and aplunger 14, in which ashaft chamber 11 a, aroller chamber 11 b, andspring chamber 11 c are connected in thepump housing 11. - A
camshaft 21 with acam 21 a is rotatably disposed in theshaft chamber 11 a, theroller 12 and theshoe 13 are disposed in contact with thecam 21 a in theroller chamber 11 b, and aspring 16 is disposed on aspring seat 15 in thespring chamber 11 c. - The
plunger 14 is disposed with one end in contact with theshoe 13 and the other end in afuel compression chamber 17 positioned between aninlet valve 22 and anoutlet valve 23. - The
inlet valve 22 is a valve disposed in a fuel passage connected with alow pressure pump 24 and theoutlet valve 23 is a valve disposed in a fuel passage connected with acommon rail 25. - Therefore, as the
cam shaft 21 is rotated by driving an engine, theroller 12 pushes theshoe 13 while rotating in accordance with the lift of the profile of the cam and theplunger 14 is reciprocated by theshoe 13 pushed. Further, low pressure fuel supplied to thefuel compression chamber 17 through theinlet valve 22 by the motion of theplunger 14 is compressed at high pressure and then flows out to thecommon rail 25 through theoutlet valve 23. - Meanwhile, the
roller 12 and theshoe 13 are in contact under high pressure, so that the wear is caused by friction and burning and sticking are caused, if excessive, unless a friction portion M1 where theroller 12 and theshoe 13 are in contact is sufficiently lubricated; therefore, the friction portion M1 between theroller 12 and theshoe 13 is lubricated with fuel from alow pressure pump 24 to preclude those problems. - That is, the lubricating apparatus of a high pressure pump according to various embodiments of the present invention includes, in a
high pressure pump 10, afirst lubrication passage 31 connecting theshaft chamber 11 a in thepump housing 11 with alow pressure pump 24, asecond lubrication passage 32 connecting theshaft chamber 11 a with thespring chamber 11 c, and asupport lubrication passage 33 with one end connected to thefirst lubrication passage 31 and the other end connected to the friction portion M1 where theroller 12 and theshoe 13 are in contact. - Further, the lubricating apparatus according to various embodiments of the present invention further includes a
check valve 34 that is disposed in thesupport lubrication passage 33, allows the flow of fuel from thefirst lubrication passage 31 to thesupport lubrication passage 33, and prevents backflow of fuel from thesupport lubrication passage 33 to thefirst lubrication passage 31. - The
support lubrication passage 33 is composed of adiverging passage 33 a that diverges from thefirst lubrication passage 31 and then extends into theroller 12 andopen passages 33 b that are connected with thediverging passage 33 a and open to the friction portion M1. - One
check valve 34 is disposed at the inlet of thediverging passage 33 a, but if thecheck valve 34 is disposed at each otheropen passages 33 b, the number of articles, the cost, and the weight increase. - Further, the
diverging passage 33 a may be positioned at the rotational center of theroller 12 for smooth flow of lubricating fuel. - If the
diverging passage 33 a is biased to a side from the rotational center of theroller 12, the fuel passing through thediverging passage 33 a is biased to a side by a centrifugal force in rotation of theroller 12, so that resistance is generated in the flow of the fuel flowing to theopen passages 33 b from thediverging passage 33 a, and accordingly, the fuel cannot smoothly flow to theopen passages 33 b from thediverging passage 33 a. - Further, a plurality of
open passages 33 b may be formed in order to simultaneously supply a large amount of fuel to the friction portion M1 in consideration of the durability of theroller 12. - According to various embodiments of the present invention described above, some of the lubricating fuel flowing to the
shaft chamber 11 a of thepump housing 11 through thefirst lubrication passage 31 from thelow pressure pump 24 is directly supplied to the friction portion M1 between theroller 12 and theshoe 13 through thesupport lubrication passage 33. - Therefore, compared with the related art, it is possible to considerably reduce the path of the lubricating fuel supplied to the friction portion M1 between the
roller 12 and theshoe 13, to reduce the time taken to lubricate the friction portion M1, and to operate thecamshaft 21 after the friction portion M1 is sufficiently lubricated, so that it is possible to prevent wear of the friction portion M1 as much as possible, and accordingly, it is possible to significantly improve the durability of thehigh pressure pump 10. - Further, the lubricating fuel supplied to the
shaft chamber 11 a through thefirst lubrication passage 31 flows to thespring chamber 11 c through thesecond lubrication passage 32 after filling theshaft chamber 11 a and the lubricating fuel supplied to thespring chamber 11 c is additionally supplied to the friction portion M1 between theroller 12 and theshoe 13 by rotation of thecam 21 a and the roller, so that lubrication performance for the friction portion M1 between theroller 12 and theshoe 13 is considerably improved. - According to the present invention, as a large amount of lubricating fuel supplied from a low pressure pump is supplied to a friction portion between a roller and a shoe, it is possible to prevent wear of the friction portion as much as possible and to considerably improve the durability of a high pressure pump.
- The foregoing descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain certain principles of the invention and their practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to make and utilize various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various alternatives and modifications thereof.
