Abstract
A controller integrated fuel pump module for a vehicle, may include a reservoir cup configured to be fixed to an interior of a fuel tank, a fuel pump installed in an interior of the reservoir cup to pump fuel introduced into the interior of the reservoir cup, and a flange for fixing the reservoir cup and the fuel pump to the fuel tank, wherein a receiving part may be formed to an outer surface of the flange and may include an inner space, and wherein a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly configured to mount devices of a controller to a PCB may be molded in the receiving part, in a state in which the PCB assembly may be received in the receiving part, and a molding portion surrounds the PCB assembly in the receiving part.
Claims9
A controller integrated fuel pump module for a vehicle, comprising
- a reservoir cup configured to be fixed to an interior of a fuel tank,
- a fuel pump installed in an interior of the reservoir cup to pump fuel introduced into the interior of the reservoir cup, and
- a flange for fixing the reservoir cup and the fuel pump to the fuel tank,
- wherein a receiving part is formed to an outer surface of the flange and may include includes an inner space, and
- wherein a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly configured to mount devices of a controller to a PCB is molded in the receiving part, in a state in which the PCB assembly is received in the receiving part, and a molding portion surrounds the PCB assembly in the receiving part,
- wherein a connector unit for connecting terminals to the outside of the fuel pump is formed in the flange,
- wherein first ends of the terminals are connected to an inner side of the connector unit to be connected to the outside, second ends of the terminals are connected to the PCB, and remaining portions of the terminals except for both the first and second ends are buried in the connector unit and the receiving part,
- wherein terminals for outputting gauge signals of a float gauge are installed at the connector unit,
- wherein first ends of the terminals for outputting the gauge signals are connected to an inner side of the connector to be connected to the outside, and
- wherein second ends of the terminals for outputting the gauge signals are provided to pass through the flange so as to be connected to the float gauge which is disposed at an inner side of the fuel tank, and remaining portions of the terminals expect for both the first and second ends are buried in the connector unit and the receiving part.
