Abstract:
A heat shield structure includes an engine body having an exhaust manifold at its side portion, a fuel pump arranged above the engine body, and an engine cover. The engine cover includes a covering portion and a heat shield portion. The covering portion covers the fuel pump and the engine body from above. The heat shield portion protrudes downward from the covering portion. The heat shield portion partitions a space above the engine body and a space above the exhaust manifold from each other. The engine cover has an air guide passage between the engine body and the covering portion, the air guide passage extending from a front side of a vehicle toward the fuel pump.
Abstract:
A fuel supply device has two fuel injection systems having delivery pipes (12A, 12B) and fuel injection valves (16), and also has a pulsation damper (20). The fuel injection valves (16) are intermittently opened while fuel is sent under pressure to the two fuel injection systems through a common fuel pump, and this causes the fuel in the delivery pipes (12A, 12B) to be supplied from the fuel injection valves (16). Paths through which the fuel passes include a first path having the delivery pipe (12A) and a communication path (13) and also include a second path having a branch path (17) and the delivery pipe (12B). A facing portion (P) to which an opening of a path (21) faces in the delivery pipe (12A) includes an opening, in the delivery pipe (12A), of the branch path (17). Pulsation of fuel pressure occurring in the two delivery pipes (12A, 12B) can be accurately suppressed by the single pulsation damper (20).
Abstract:
The invention addresses a challenge for providing an intake manifold that is able to suppress interference of the intake manifold with fuel injection valves at the time of a collision of a vehicle. In an intake manifold (2), joint faces (32b) and joint portions (33) are connected to each other such that lines L extended from the joint faces (32b) of flange portions (31) and joint faces (33a) of the joint portions (33) are oriented toward positions clear of fuel injection valves (10). In the intake manifold (2), each joint portion (33) is formed such that a length A of the joint face (33a) in a direction in which the joint face (33a) extends is longer than a maximum spaced distance B between the corresponding fuel injection valve (10) and the corresponding flange portion (31).
Abstract:
A gasket having a core member having an opening, an inner seal portion made of elastic material and formed along an inner circumference of the opening, an outer seal portion made of elastic material and formed along an outer circumference of the core member. The core member has a seal-forming thin portion and an easily-deformable portion, the seal-forming thin portion being configured to form the inner seal portion at the inner circumference and to form the outer seal portion at the outer circumference, and the easily-deformable portion being provided between the inner seal portion and the outer seal portion and being configured to easily deform the core member.
Abstract:
A heat insulator fastening structure comprises: a heat insulator (1) which is configured so as to cover an exhaust manifold (2); and fasteners (3) which are configured so as to fasten the heat insulator (1) to an object to which the heat insulator (1) is to be fastened, the heat insulator (1) being fastened so as to be displaceable in a predetermined range. The heat insulator (1) has: a single first region (A1) which is configured so as to vibrate in the same phase; and a single second region (A2) which is different from the first region (A1) and which is configured so as to vibrate in the same phase. At least one of the fasteners (3) fastens the first region (A1) to the object to which the heat insulator (1) is to be fastened. At least another one of the fasteners (3) fastens the second region (A2) to the object to which the heat insulator (1) is to be fastened.
