Abstract
A fuel pipe of a fuel supply device includes: a first side wall having a mounting surface to which an injector cup and a bracket are attached; and a second side wall to which the injector cup and the bracket are not attached. A peripheral wall of the injector cup extends at least from a position on a bottom-end side relative to a centerline in a mounting surface to a position on an upper-end side relative to the centerline, and is fixed to the mounting surface at a part of the mounting surface on the bottom-end side relative to the centerline and at a part thereof on the upper-end side relative to the centerline.
Claims6
A fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine, the fuel supply device comprising:
- a fuel pipe configured to lead, to an injector, fuel introduced into the fuel pipe;
- an injector cup into which the injector is inserted, the injector cup including a peripheral wall;
- and
- a bracket configured to fix the fuel pipe to the internal combustion engine,
- the fuel pipe including a first side wall and a second side wall,
- the first side wall including a mounting surface to which the injector cup and the bracket are attached, and
- the second side wall being configured such that the injector cup and the bracket are not attached,
- the second side wall being configured to elastically deform when a pressure of the fuel is applied to the second side wall,
- the bracket includes a pair of rib portions attached to the mounting surface, a pair of extension portions respectively attached to the pair of rib portions and extending in an axial direction of the injector cup, and a fixed portion between respective ends of the pair of extension portions,
- the fixed portion configured to be attached to the internal combustion engine,
- the rib portions extend away from the extension portions in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the injector cup and the extension portions are perpendicular to the mounting surface,
- the mounting surface including a first end, a second end, and a centerline,
- the first end and the second end being one end and an opposite end of the mounting surface in the axial direction of the injector cup, the centerline being a virtual line placed at a center between the first end and the second end, and
- the injector cup being configured such that the peripheral wall extends at least from a position on a first-end side relative to the centerline in the mounting surface to a position on a second-end side relative to the centerline, and the peripheral wall is fixed to the mounting surface at a part of the mounting surface on the first-end side relative to the centerline and at a part of the mounting surface on the second-end side relative to the centerline.
