High pressure oil pump roller tappet

Abstract

A high-pressure oil pump roller tappet, used for automobile fuel injection system, mounted between the driving cam and the tappet. The roller tappet includes a shell, a holder, a roller, and a pin. Planes A are arranged on both sides of the seam on lateral sides of the shell. Holes I are arranged at symmetrical positions on two planes A. Holes II are arranged on symmetrical positions on vertical plates. The roller is located in the middle of the pin. Welding has no requirement on the thickness of the plate. The weight can be controlled effectively, reducing inertia force, friction, and wear, improving engine efficiency. The shell and holder are designed as being separate, ensuring that the shell subjects to lateral force as little as possible when the holder subjects to a force, such that the shell is less likely to vibrate. Thus, the shell avoids the abrasion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(18) The present invention is further illustrated by embodiments and drawings hereinafter:

(19) The embodiment is: as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a high-pressure oil pump roller tappet, which is used for an automobile fuel injection system, is mounted between a driving cam 5 and a tappet 6. The roller tappet includes a shell 1, a holder 2, a roller 3, and a pin 4. The shell 1 whose main structure is a cylindrical housing is made by bending a steel plate in a surrounding way. First planes 1.2 that are in parallel and symmetrical with each other are arranged on both sides of a seam 1.4 on lateral sides of the shell. First holes 1.1 are arranged at symmetrical positions on the two planes 1.2. The holder 2 is of a U-shaped. Second holes 2.1 are arranged at symmetrical positions on vertical plates. The roller 3 is located in the middle of the pin 4. Two ends of the pin 4 pass through the first holes 1.1 and the second holes 2.1 respectively.

(20) The steel plates on both ends of the seam 1.4 are pre-stamped to form inward recesses, and welding spots 1.3 are provided therein. A locking block is arranged on the seam 1.4 between the welding spots 1.3 or on the shell 1 opposing the seam 1.4. The locking block is a sector cylinder made by stamping, which protrudes from the shell. The length of the locking block can be adjusted between the two welding spots to fit sizes of different oil pump cylinders.

(21) In the embodiment of the invention, the shell 1, the holder 2, and the pin 4 have many different variations.

(22) Among them, variations of the shell 1 include:

Embodiment 1

(35) Obviously, the structure of the rib 2.6 in Embodiment 5 of the holder 2 can also be applied to Embodiment 1, Embodiment 3, and Embodiment 4.

(36) Among them, variations of the pin 4 include:

Embodiment 1

(37) As shown in FIG. 15, both ends of the pin 4 are of second planes 4.1.

Embodiment 2
