Abstract:
A fuel pump attachment structure is provided that includes a cylinder head; a cylinder head cover joined to a top surface of the cylinder head; a bracket mounted to the top surface of the cylinder head so as to be located at a position outside the cylinder head cover; and a fuel pump attached to the bracket. The fuel pump is inserted into an opening formed in the cylinder head cover. A sealing member is arranged between an outer surface of the fuel pump and a surface of the cylinder head cover that defines the opening. Alternatively, a pressing portion is formed in a lower portion of the bracket. The pressing portion presses a pressed portion formed on a periphery of the cylinder head cover from above by means of a bolt that is inserted into the pressing portion and fastened to the cylinder head.
Abstract:
A fuel pump insulator assembly is mounted on a fuel pump. The fuel pump insulator assembly comprises insulating fasteners, an insulating gasket and a seal. The insulating gasket provides a thermal barrier between an engine and a fuel pump, whereby heat from the engine is not transferred to the fuel pump. The seal seals the fuel pump from the engine, whereby hot engine oil is not allowed to splash into the fuel pump. The insulating fasteners reduce heat transfer from the engine through the fasteners to the fuel pump. The insulating fasteners each comprise a elongated cylindrical body portion having an opening longitudinally therethrough with an insulating washer disposed at one end thereof. The insulating gasket has opposing flange portions which depend from a main portion with an elongated opening therethrough. The seal comprises a flange mounting seal portion with a fuel arm seal portion depending therefrom. The flange mounting seal portion has opposing flange portions which depend from a main portion with an opening therethrough. The fuel arm seal portion depends from the flange mounting seal portion and includes an opening or flap through which the fuel pump arm of the fuel pump passes.
Abstract:
A dual-piston fuel pump assembly includes a housing having an inlet to a primary chamber and an outlet from a pumping chamber. Between the primary and pumping chambers are interposed concentric inner and outer pistons. Each piston is independently spring biased toward the pumping chamber. The inner piston is mechanically driven by an engine associated reciprocating drive and pumping action occurs as a result of the spring operating on the inner piston. The position of the outer piston relative to the inner piston is determined by the pressure in the pumping chamber as regulated by the force of the spring operating against the outer piston. When pressure in the pumping chamber exceeds predefined limits, the outer piston opens regulator ports disposed on the inner piston to recirculate fuel back into the low pressure primary chamber. Additionally, the outer piston acts as an accumulator to dampen pressure spikes.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a fuel-injection arrangement for a two-stroke engine in a motor-driven chain saw. An injection pump is mounted in a base housing with the injection pump including a pump piston axially displaceable in a pump cylinder. The pump piston delimits a pump chamber. The pump chamber is connected via a suction valve to a fuel tank. The fuel drawn by suction is pumped by the pump piston via a pressure valve, an injection line and an injection valve to the engine. For driving the pump piston, the latter is connected at one end to a membrane via a membrane plate. The membrane delimits a work chamber charged with fluctuating crankcase pressure. A simple assembly is provided by arranging the pump chamber, the suction valve and the pressure valve in a common valve housing which, in turn, is seated in the base housing of the injection pump in a seal-tight manner. The injection line is connected directly to the valve housing. This permits a preassembly of the valve housing with the valves provided therein which facilitates the manufacture of the fuel-injection arrangement.
