燃料供給装置の給電構造Power supply structure for fuel supply system
 本発明は、燃料供給装置の給電構造に係り、特に、内燃機関に燃料を供給する燃料供給装置の燃料ポンプに給電するための燃料供給装置の給電構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a power supply structure of a fuel supply device, and more particularly to a power supply structure of a fuel supply device for supplying power to a fuel pump of a fuel supply device that supplies fuel to an internal combustion engine.
 従来から、燃料タンク内の燃料を内燃機関に供給する燃料ポンプを備えた燃料供給装置が多く用いられており、この燃料ポンプは、燃料タンク内の燃料に浸された状態で駆動されるものである。そして、このような燃料ポンプには、給電端子が設けられ、この給電端子にコネクタの接続端子を接続することにより、外部電源に接続され、燃料ポンプに給電を行うようになっている。 Conventionally, a fuel supply device having a fuel pump for supplying the fuel in the fuel tank to the internal combustion engine has been used in many cases, and this fuel pump is driven while being immersed in the fuel in the fuel tank. is there. Such a fuel pump is provided with a power supply terminal. By connecting a connection terminal of the connector to this power supply terminal, the fuel pump is connected to an external power source and supplies power to the fuel pump.
 しかし、このような従来の給電構造においては、燃料タンクの内部に貯留される燃料が電解液として作用し、各端子の間に微弱電流が流れ、端子部分が腐食してしまうという問題を有している。 However, such a conventional power supply structure has a problem that the fuel stored in the fuel tank acts as an electrolyte, a weak current flows between the terminals, and the terminals are corroded. ing.
 このような端子部分の腐食を防止するため、従来から、燃料ポンプのコネクタ挿入口の底面に絶縁性のシール材を設けるとともに、コネクタにプラス側およびマイナス側の接続端子を隔離する隔壁を設け、コネクタを接続した際に、コネクタの隔壁の先端部がシール材に押圧されることにより、コネクタの内部を液封するようにした技術が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。 In order to prevent such corrosion of the terminal portion, conventionally, an insulating sealing material is provided on the bottom surface of the fuel pump connector insertion port, and a partition that separates the positive and negative connection terminals is provided on the connector. A technique is disclosed in which when the connector is connected, the tip of the partition wall of the connector is pressed against the sealing material to liquid-seal the inside of the connector (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

 しかしながら、前記特許文献1に記載の発明においては、燃料ポンプが動作している状態では、燃料ポンプの内部の燃料は高圧になっているため、燃料ポンプのハウジングと給電端子との隙間からコネクタの内部に燃料が漏れ出してしまい、ハウジングとシール部材との間に燃料が溜まり、この部分で端子間に電流が流れて端子の腐食が発生するおそれがあるという問題を有している。 However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, since the fuel inside the fuel pump is at a high pressure when the fuel pump is in operation, the connector is connected from the gap between the fuel pump housing and the power supply terminal. There is a problem that the fuel leaks inside, the fuel accumulates between the housing and the seal member, and current flows between the terminals at this portion, which may cause corrosion of the terminals.
 また、シール部材の弾性により、コネクタが外れる方向に押圧され、コネクタの結合部分が緩んだりあるいは外れたりする可能性があるという問題をも有している。 Also, there is a problem that the connector is pressed in the direction of disconnection due to the elasticity of the seal member, and the connecting portion of the connector may be loosened or disconnected.
 本発明は前記した点に鑑みてなされたもので、シール材を用いることなく端子部分の腐食の発生を確実に防止することができ、接続端子が外れてしまうことを防止することのできる燃料供給装置の給電構造を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can reliably prevent the occurrence of corrosion of the terminal portion without using a sealing material, and can prevent the connection terminal from coming off. An object of the present invention is to provide a power feeding structure for the apparatus.

A joint recess 59 is formed. The other connection terminal 60 of the connection wire 49 is connected to the base-side power supply terminal 54, and the base side made of an elastic material such as rubber covering the conductive portion of the connection terminal 60 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the connection terminal 60. A cap 61 is attached. On the outer surface of the base-side cap 61, an engaging protrusion 62 is formed to be engaged with the engaging recess 59 of the base-side coupler 53, and the engaging protrusion 62 of the base-side cap 61 is engaged with the engaging recess 59. By combining, the base side cap 61 is configured to be held.
 また、ベース側キャップ61の下方には、ベース側ターミナルホルダ63が配設されており、このベース側ターミナルホルダ63には、接続端子60の接続導線49を挿入するための導線用孔64とカシメ用孔65とが形成されている。そして、導線用孔64に接続導線49を通した状態で、取り付けベース部材6に形成された突起66にカシメ用孔65を挿入して突起66部分を熱カシメすることにより、ベース側ターミナルホルダ63を取り付けベース部材6に固定するように構成されている。 A base-side terminal holder 63 is disposed below the base-side cap 61. The base-side terminal holder 63 has a conductor hole 64 and a caulking for inserting the connection conductor 49 of the connection terminal 60 therein. A working hole 65 is formed. Then, in a state where the connection conductor 49 is passed through the conductor hole 64, the caulking hole 65 is inserted into the protrusion 66 formed in the mounting base member 6 to thermally caulk the protrusion 66 portion, whereby the base-side terminal holder 63. Is fixed to the mounting base member 6.
 また、このとき、本実施形態においては、接続端子60とベース側ターミナルホルダ63との距離は、ベース側給電端子54と接続端子60との接続部の長さより短く形成されている。このように構成することにより、接続端子60に対してベース側給電端子54から外れる方向に力が加わった場合に、接続端子60の端部がベース側キャップ61の上面に当接することになるので、接続端子60がベース側給電端子54から外れてしまうことを確実に防止することができるものである。 At this time, in this embodiment, the distance between the connection terminal 60 and the base-side terminal holder 63 is shorter than the length of the connection portion between the base-side power supply terminal 54 and the connection terminal 60. With this configuration, when a force is applied to the connection terminal 60 in a direction away from the base-side power supply terminal 54, the end of the connection terminal 60 comes into contact with the upper surface of the base-side cap 61. Thus, the connection terminal 60 can be reliably prevented from being detached from the base-side power supply terminal 54.
 次に、本実施形態の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
 まず、接続導線49の接続端子50をブラケット側給電端子33に接続する場合は、各接続端子50にブラケット側キャップ51を装着して、各接続端子50を各ブラケット側給電端子33に接続し、この状態で、ブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45の係止溝46にブラケット側キャップ51の係止突起52を係合させるとともに、保持片47の係合爪48をブラケット側カプラ32の係合用部材43に係合させることにより、ブラケット側カプラ32に接続端子50のブラケット側キャップ51を保持しながらブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45を装着する。これにより、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部は、カプラ側隔壁56により、各ブラケット側給電端子33が電気的に離隔されることになる。 First, when connecting the connection terminal 50 of the connection conductor 49 to the bracket-side power supply terminal 33, the bracket-side cap 51 is attached to each connection terminal 50, and each connection terminal 50 is connected to each bracket-side power supply terminal 33. In this state, the engaging protrusion 52 of the bracket-side cap 51 is engaged with the engaging groove 46 of the bracket-side terminal holder 45, and the engaging claw 48 of the holding piece 47 is engaged with the engaging member 43 of the bracket-side coupler 32. As a result, the bracket-side terminal holder 45 is attached to the bracket-side coupler 32 while holding the bracket-side cap 51 of the connection terminal 50. As a result, the bracket-side coupler 32 is electrically separated from the bracket-side power supply terminal 33 by the coupler-side partition wall 56.
 また、接続導線49の接続端子60をベース側給電端子54に接続する場合は、接続導線49にベース側キャップ61およびベース側ターミナルホルダ63を取り付けた状態で、各接続導線49を各ベース側給電端子54に接続し、ベース側キャップ61の係合突起62を係合凹部59に係合させることにより、ベース側キャップ61を保持する。続いて、取り付けベース部材6に形成された突起にベース側ターミナルホルダ63のカシメ用孔65を挿入して突起部分を熱カシメすることにより、ベース側ターミナルホルダ63を取り付けベース部材6に固定し、これにより、ベース側ターミナルホルダ63によりベース側キャップ61を確実に保持することができ、ベース側カプラ53の内部は、ベース側隔壁58により、各ベース側給電端子54が電気的に離隔されることになる。 When connecting the connection terminal 60 of the connection conductor 49 to the base-side power supply terminal 54, the connection conductor 49 is connected to the base-side power supply with the base-side cap 61 and the base-side terminal holder 63 attached. The base side cap 61 is held by connecting to the terminal 54 and engaging the engaging protrusion 62 of the base side cap 61 with the engaging recess 59. Subsequently, the base side terminal holder 63 is fixed to the mounting base member 6 by inserting the caulking hole 65 of the base side terminal holder 63 into the protrusion formed on the mounting base member 6 and thermally crimping the protruding portion. Accordingly, the base-side cap 61 can be securely held by the base-side terminal holder 63, and the base-side coupler 53 is electrically separated from the base-side power supply terminals 54 by the base-side partition wall 58. become.
 そして、電動モータ20を駆動すると、ロータ軸24が回転駆動されてポンプインペラ28が回転駆動され、これに伴って、燃料タンク1内の燃料が燃料ストレーナ9で濾過されながら吸入ポート29を介してポンプ室27に吸入される。このポンプ室27に吸入された燃料は、ポンプインペラ28により昇圧されて吐出ポート30からステータ21内に圧送され、燃料吐出管31および燃料取り出し管15からなる燃料通路16を経て燃料噴射弁3に供給される。 When the electric motor 20 is driven, the rotor shaft 24 is rotationally driven and the pump impeller 28 is rotationally driven. Along with this, the fuel in the fuel tank 1 is filtered by the fuel strainer 9 via the intake port 29. Inhaled into the pump chamber 27. The fuel sucked into the pump chamber 27 is boosted by the pump impeller 28 and is pumped into the stator 21 from the discharge port 30, and passes through the fuel passage 16 including the fuel discharge pipe 31 and the fuel take-out pipe 15 to the fuel injection valve 3. Supplied.
 このとき、燃料通路16の圧力、すなわち燃料ポンプ4の吐出圧力は、調圧路18を経てレギュレータ弁19に作用しているので、燃料ポンプ4の吐出圧力が所定値を超えると、レギュレータ弁19が開いて燃料通路16内の燃料の一部を燃料タンク1の内部に戻すようになっており、燃料通路16の圧力は、所定値に自動的に調整される。 At this time, since the pressure of the fuel passage 16, that is, the discharge pressure of the fuel pump 4 acts on the regulator valve 19 via the pressure adjusting passage 18, when the discharge pressure of the fuel pump 4 exceeds a predetermined value, the regulator valve 19 Is opened so that part of the fuel in the fuel passage 16 is returned to the inside of the fuel tank 1, and the pressure in the fuel passage 16 is automatically adjusted to a predetermined value.
 また、ブラケット側カプラ32部分には、レギュレータ弁19から排出される燃料がかかったり、ステータ21の内部圧力により上部軸受ブラケット22の下面側からブラケット側カプラ32の内部に燃料が入り込むことがあるが、本実施形態においては、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部は、カプラ側隔壁56により、各ブラケット側給電端子33が電気的に離隔されているので、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部の滞留燃料中に含まれる水分により、ブラケット側給電端子33および接続端子50が腐蝕してしまうことを確実に防止することができる。 The bracket-side coupler 32 may receive fuel discharged from the regulator valve 19 or may enter the bracket-side coupler 32 from the lower surface side of the upper bearing bracket 22 due to the internal pressure of the stator 21. In the present embodiment, the bracket-side coupler 32 is included in the staying fuel inside the bracket-side coupler 32 because the bracket-side power supply terminals 33 are electrically separated by the coupler-side partition wall 56. It is possible to reliably prevent the bracket-side power supply terminal 33 and the connection terminal 50 from being corroded by moisture.
 また、ベース側カプラ53の内部も、ベース側隔壁58により、各ベース側給電端子54が電気的に離隔されているとともに、ベース側キャップ61により液封されているので、ベース側カプラ53の内部に燃料が入り込むことがなく、仮に、ベース側カプラ53の内部に燃料が入り込んだ場合でも、ベース側給電端子54および接続端子60の腐食を確実に防止することができる。 Further, the base side coupler 53 is also electrically separated by the base side partition wall 58, and the base side power supply terminals 54 are electrically separated by the base side cap 61. Therefore, even if the fuel enters the base-side coupler 53, the base-side power supply terminal 54 and the connection terminal 60 can be reliably prevented from corroding.
 また、ブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45の係合爪48をブラケット側カプラ32の係合用部材43に係合させることにより、ブラケット側カプラ32に接続端子50のブラケット側キャップ51を保持しながらブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45を装着するようにしており、ブラケット側カプラ32とブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45との間にブラケット側キャップ51を挟み込まない箇所を設けるようにしているので、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部に燃料が入り込んだ場合でも、この燃料は、ブラケット側カプラ32とブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45との間の隙間から、外部に排出されることとなる。その結果、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部に長時間同じ燃料が留まることがなく、滞留した燃料中に含まれる水分によりブラケット側給電端子33および接続端子50が腐食してしまうことを防止することができる。 Further, by engaging the engaging claw 48 of the bracket-side terminal holder 45 with the engaging member 43 of the bracket-side coupler 32, the bracket-side terminal holder while holding the bracket-side cap 51 of the connection terminal 50 on the bracket-side coupler 32. 45 is installed, and a portion where the bracket-side cap 51 is not sandwiched between the bracket-side coupler 32 and the bracket-side terminal holder 45 is provided, so that fuel has entered the bracket-side coupler 32. Even in this case, the fuel is discharged to the outside through the gap between the bracket side coupler 32 and the bracket side terminal holder 45. As a result, the same fuel does not stay in the bracket-side coupler 32 for a long time, and it is possible to prevent the bracket-side power supply terminal 33 and the connection terminal 50 from being corroded by moisture contained in the retained fuel. .
 以上述べたように本実施形態においては、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部は、カプラ側隔壁56により、各ブラケット側給電端子33が電気的に離隔されているので、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部に燃料が入り込んだ場合でも、ブラケット側カプラ32の内部の滞留燃料中に含まれる水分により、ブラケット側給電端子33および接続端子50が腐蝕してしまうことを確実に防止することができる。また、ベース側カプラ53の内部も、ベース側隔壁58により、各ベース側給電端子54が電気的に離隔されているので、ベース側カプラ53の内部に燃料が入り込んだ場合でも、ベース側給電端子54および接続端子60の腐食を確実に防止することができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the bracket-side coupler 32 is electrically separated from the bracket-side power supply terminal 33 by the coupler-side partition wall 56. Even when it enters, it is possible to reliably prevent the bracket-side power supply terminal 33 and the connection terminal 50 from being corroded by moisture contained in the staying fuel inside the bracket-side coupler 32. In addition, since the base side power supply terminals 54 are also electrically separated by the base side partition wall 58 in the base side coupler 53, the base side power supply terminal can be used even when fuel enters the base side coupler 53. 54 and the connection terminal 60 can be reliably prevented from corroding.
 また、ブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45の係合爪48をブラケット側カプラ32の係合用部材43に係合させることにより、ブラケット側カプラ32に接続端子50のブラケット側キャップ51を保持しながらブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45を装着するようにしているので、ブラケット側カプラ32からブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45を容易に着脱することができ、燃料ポンプ4を交換する際も、燃料ポンプ4の交換を容易に行うことができる。 Further, by engaging the engaging claw 48 of the bracket-side terminal holder 45 with the engaging member 43 of the bracket-side coupler 32, the bracket-side terminal holder while holding the bracket-side cap 51 of the connection terminal 50 on the bracket-side coupler 32. 45 is attached, the bracket-side terminal holder 45 can be easily detached from the bracket-side coupler 32, and the fuel pump 4 can be easily replaced when the fuel pump 4 is replaced. .
 さらに、ブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45の係止溝46にブラケット側キャップ51の係止突起52を係合させた状態で、ブラケット側カプラ32にブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45を装着するようにしているので、ブラケット側キャップ51の脱落を確実に防止することができる。 Further, since the bracket-side terminal holder 45 is mounted on the bracket-side coupler 32 in a state where the locking projections 52 of the bracket-side cap 51 are engaged with the locking grooves 46 of the bracket-side terminal holder 45, the bracket-side terminal holder 45 is mounted. It is possible to reliably prevent the side cap 51 from falling off.
 また、接続端子50とブラケット側ターミナルホルダ45との距離を、ブラケット側給電端子33と接続端子50との接続部の長さより短く形成するようにしているので、接続端子50がブラケット側給電端子33から外れてしまうことを確実に防止することができる。さらに、接続端子60とベース側ターミナルホルダ63との距離を、ベース側給電端子54と接続端子60との接続部の長さより短く形成するようにしているので、接続端子60がベース側給電端子54から外れてしまうことを確実に防止することができるものである。 In addition, since the distance between the connection terminal 50 and the bracket-side terminal holder 45 is formed to be shorter than the length of the connection portion between the bracket-side power supply terminal 33 and the connection terminal 50, the connection terminal 50 is connected to the bracket-side power supply terminal 33. It can be reliably prevented from coming off. Furthermore, since the distance between the connection terminal 60 and the base side terminal holder 63 is formed to be shorter than the length of the connection portion between the base side power supply terminal 54 and the connection terminal 60, the connection terminal 60 is connected to the base side power supply terminal 54. It is possible to reliably prevent it from coming off.
