摘要:
Vane pieces (31) which are in an outer peripheral edge portion of an impeller (30) are divided into front and rear groups by a partition wall (32), and arranged in a staggered pattern, and outer peripheral faces of the vane pieces (31) are protruded toward the outer peripheral side with respect to the outer peripheral face of the partition wall (32). Therefore, fuel portions respectively entering vane grooves (33) which are divided into front and rear groups do not simultaneously collide against end faces (9b) of radial seal portions (9a). Consequently, the level of noises due to the fuel collision can be lowered. Furthermore, a reverse-flow region is prevented from being produced immediately above the partition wall (32). Therefore, the pump efficiency can be improved.
摘要:
A fuel supply apparatus having a fuel pressure regulator (60) for regulating the pressure of fuel discharged from a fuel pump (4) to a predetermined pressure, the fuel pressure regulator (60) including: a first chamber (62), formed in a case (61), into which fuel discharged from the fuel pump (4) flows, and a second chamber (63), into which the fuel flows via the first chamber (62); a fuel limiting means (64) disposed between the first chamber (62) and the second chamber (63), for limiting fuel flowing from the first chamber (62) into the second chamber (63); a pilot valve unit (65) having a passageway for opening to discharge fuel tank (2), when the fuel pressure in the second chamber (63) is more than a first set pressure (Pp); and a main valve unit (66) having a passageway for opening to discharge fuel into the fuel tank (2) when the fuel pressure in the first chamber (62) is equal to a second set pressure (Pm) between the first set pressure (Pp) and the predetermined pressure (Pi), whereby, in cases where returning flow volume drops, the pressure of the fuel delivered under pressure to the injector does not drop.
