摘要:
A rotary fuel pump employs pressure balancing features on the non-vaned side of the impeller to provide localized application of fluid forces so that the impeller is more precisely balanced within the pumping chamber. A generally disc-shaped impeller body has an impeller with a body-side surface and a cover-side surface. The cover-side surface defines an impeller flow channel extending circumferentially around the impeller. The impeller includes a plurality of vanes positioned at least partially within the impeller flow channel. The body-side surface has a plurality of discontinuous undercut regions each coaxially aligned with at least a portion of the impeller flow channel. The impeller has a plurality of apertures wherein each aperture connects the impeller flow channel with a respective undercut region, whereby pressure forces against the impeller from the fuel are substantially balanced in the axial direction.

A fuel sender assembly comprises an in-tank electrical connection to an electric fuel pump that is formed between a socket member and a plug element, in which the plug element includes a terminal that is received in a receptacle in the socket member. The socket element comprises a socket wall that extends about the socket face. The plug element also includes a plug wall that sealingly engages the socket wall to prevent the electrical contact from exposure to fuel vapors within the tank.

A fuel pump for pumping fuel from an inlet port to an outlet port. In one embodiment, a housing made up of a body piece and a cover piece encloses an impeller. The impeller has a vaned periphery and an outer ring connected by spokes. An inlet hole is defined within the cover piece for fuel to enter the pump. An outlet hole is defined within the body piece for fuel to exit the pump into an internal chamber. A first main semicircular shaped channel is defined circumferentially into the cover piece and extends in an annular fashion around the cover piece. The body piece has a second main semicircular channel as well as at least one annular groove. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two annular grooves, one connected directly to the second semicircular channel, and one around the peripheral edge of the body piece at the point where it contacts the cover piece.

The present invention provides a system for controlling speed of the fuel pump. The system includes a fuel pump, a controller, and a field modification module. The fuel pump is configured to receive a driving signal causing the fuel pump to pump fuel. The controller is configured to determine a desired fuel pump speed and generate a control signal based on the desired fuel pump speed. The field modification module is located proximate the fuel pump and is in communication with the controller to receive the control signal. The field modification module generates a flux in response the control signal thereby controlling speed and torque of the fuel pump.

An in-tank fuel supply unit is provided for supplying fuel from a fuel tank to an engine. The fuel supply unit generally comprises a fuel delivery module and a jet pump assembly selectively attachable to the fuel delivery module. The fuel delivery module has a housing defining a reservoir and includes a fuel pump for pressurizing fuel in the reservoir. The jet pump assembly has a suction tube defining a suction chamber and a nozzle situated inside the suction chamber. The nozzle receives pressurized fuel from the fuel pump and sprays the fuel from a nozzle tip at high velocity to draw additional fuel into the suction chamber through an inlet formed in the suction tube.

A pressure regulated valve is provided for a mechanical returnless fuel system for an automotive vehicle that includes a fuel pump for supplying fuel from a fuel supply to an engine. The pressure regulating valve includes a conduit in fluid communication with the pump outlet. The valve includes a valve seat and a valve body having a frustoconical seal surface. A spring biases the valve body to close the valve body against the valve seat. During operation, increased fuel pressure from the pump opens the valve body to discharge excess fuel to the fuel supply.

A vehicle regenerative-type fuel pump which reduces the possible accumulation and effects of contamination relative to impellers with outer ring members. The outlet port on the pump cover member is enlarged and the C-shaped grove is positioned radially outwardly, which causes an increased outlet area and fluid flow around and through the impeller and through the outlet port.

The present invention involves a gear assembly having a lifting feature for a fuel pump for supplying fuel to an automotive engine from a fuel tank. The gear assembly comprises an inner gear and an outer gear in mating relationship with the inner gear. The inner gear has a substantially disc shape with an outside camming surface and having an inner cover face and an inner body face. The inner gear has a center aperture formed therethrough defining an axis of rotation perpendicular to the inner cover and inner body faces. The inner cover face has a plurality of inner concave grooves radially formed thereon and spaced apart from each other to provide lifting of the inner gear when rotating about the axis. The outer gear has a substantially planar shape. The outer gear includes an annular wall having an inside camming surface slideably engaging about the outside camming surface to matingly cooperate with the inner gear for rotation about the axis. The outer gear has an outer cover surface and an outer body surface. The outer cover surface has a plurality of outer concave grooves radially formed thereon and spaced apart from each other to provide lifting of the outer gear when rotating about the axis.

An impeller for a fuel pump includes an impeller body having a substantially disk shape. A plurality of radially outwardly extending vanes extend from the impeller body with a plurality of partitions interposed therebetween. The partitions and the vanes define a plurality of vane grooves each including an inlet portion, an exit portion and an arcuate shaped portion interconnecting the inlet portion and the exit portion. The inlet portion of each of the vane grooves has a straight section which is substantially perpendicular to and extends inward from an adjacent face. The vane grooves extend inward from the inlet portion such that the exit portions of two aligned vane grooves define a vane groove tip. The exit portion of each of the vane grooves includes a straight section such that the straight sections of two aligned exit portions define an included angle therein.
