Abstract:
The coupling device (40) comprises a holding fixture (30) being designed to be mechanically coupled to the fuel rail and comprising a through hole (42) extending between a first surface (44) and a second surface (46), the second surface (46) opposing the first surface (44) and being arranged and designed to face the cylinder head. Furthermore the coupling device (40) comprises a fastening element (48) being designed to be fixedly coupled to the cylinder head. The fastening element (48) comprises a head portion (50) and a shank portion (52) . The head portion (50) faces the first surface (44) of the holding fixture (30) and the shank portion (52) is being partially arranged in the through hole (42) and is designed to be in engagement with the cylinder head. In addition the coupling device (40) comprises a retaining element (64) being arranged inside the through hole (42), being coupled with the holding fixture (30), comprising in a given latch area (65) a cross-section restriction and being in engagement with the shank portion (52) at least in this latch area (65). The retaining element (64) is formed as a one-piece unit.
Abstract:
To obtain, at low cost, a fuel rail that maintains low hardness and good formability before being formed into a tube stock, can be made to form a welded pipe, and has high-strength properties with which the fuel rail can withstand a high fuel pressure even when formed so as to be relatively thin. [Solution] A fuel rail for gasoline direct injection that is used at a fuel pressure of at least 30 MPa and is formed from an iron-alloy welded pipe. The fuel rail comprises an iron alloy that contains chemical components of C, Si, Mn, P, S, Nb, and Mo. The plate thickness t and the outer diameter D of the fuel rail have a ratio t/D of 0.2 or less. A bainitic structure can be precipitated by brazing the fuel rail in a furnace during manufacturing.
Abstract:
A brazed article (1) is disclosed. It comprises a first workpiece (3), a second workpiece (5) and a brazed joint (7) which fixedly connects the workpieces (3, 5) by means of a brazing filler material (11) distributed between a first joining area (31) represented by a surface portion of the first workpiece (3) and a second joining area (51) represented by a surface portion of the second workpiece (5). The first joining area (31) and/or the second joining area (51) is/are provided with at least one slot (13). Further a method for producing the brazed article (1) and a fuel rail assembly are disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided is an end seal structure of a fuel rail for a gasoline direct injection engine, the fuel rail being constructed and arranged such that an end or both ends of a rail body composed of a tubular body such as a pipe is/are closed by an end cap or end caps, the end seal structure having a simple structure, making it possible for the end cap portion to meet higher pressure requirements. The end seal structure, in which an end or both ends of a rail body composed of a pipe is/are closed by a thread fastening type of an end cap or end caps having a cap-nut shape, is characterized in that a metallic gasket is provided between an inner wall surface of the end cap having the cap-nut shape and an end section of the rail body, the end cap having the cap-nut shape is screwed and fixed to the rail body, and the gasket is tightened by an axial force created by tightening of the end cap having the cap-nut shape so that the end of the rail body is sealed.
Abstract:
A fastening structure of a fuel delivery pipe and a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine includes three or more bosses (208, 210, 212, 214, 216, 218, 220, 222, 224, 226, 228) provided on each of the cylinder head and the fuel delivery pipe, and fastening portions formed by bolting the bosses on the cylinder head to the bosses on the fuel delivery pipe. The fastening portions at both end portions of the fuel delivery pipe are less rigid than one or more fastening portions in a middle between the fastening portions positioned at both end portions of the fuel delivery pipe.
Abstract:
A method to manufacture a high pressure reservoir (10) adapted to be arranged in a diesel injection system, the reservoir (10) having an elongated body (12) extending along a longitudinal axis (X) from a first extremity (14) to a second extremity (16), the body (12) having a peripheral wall (18) defining an inner axial bore and a plurality of radial holes (22, 24) adapted to be complementary connected to high pressure pipes, the method (100) comprising the initial step: a) providing a seamless cylindrical steel tube, the central bore of the tube opening at both ends of the tube, said seamless tube forming the blank of the body (12); characterized in that the method further comprises a subsequent sequence of steps which are all controlled material-removal process steps.
