Abstract: A diesel fuel pump includes a cylinder provided to a housing, and a plunger configured to form a cylinder chamber in conjunction with the cylinder by being reciprocably provided to the cylinder. The plunger compresses fuel inside the cylinder chamber when the plunger moves in one direction during a reciprocating motion, and introduces the fuel into the cylinder chamber when the plunger moves in another direction. A ball-type non-return valve includes: a spherical ball; a valve seat having a through-hole provided with a truncated side surface-shaped inner surface; and a compression coil spring provided inside the cylinder chamber, and having one end portion in contact with the ball and another end portion in contact with the cylinder. A value of a winding diameter of the compression coil spring is reduced at the one end portion.

Abstract: A diesel pump having enhanced durability in a high pressure environment, capable of being produced at high productivity, and at low cost. The diesel pump is provided with a cylinder formed in a pump housing, a plunger reciprocatably provided in the cylinder, and a drive mechanism for driving the plunger. The cylinder is a separate part from the pump housing and is mounted in the pump housing. The cylinder consists of sulfur-less alloy steel, is a tubular part and may be press-fitted in the pump housing. The front end of an outlet joint reaches the cylinder, and a fuel discharge route directly connects to the outlet joint from the cylinder without passing through the pump housing.

Abstract: A piston processing apparatus includes a work attaching head capable of fixing a piston material, a work rotating device, a grinding wheel, a grinding wheel rotating device, first and second moving mechanisms for moving the grinding wheel, a rotational angle detector for detecting a rotational angle of the work attaching head, a first and second position detectors for detecting a position of a grinding surface of the grinding wheel, a controller controls the first and second moving mechanisms to grind the outer circumferential surface by the grinding wheel based on target-position information of the grinding surface corresponding to a position on the outer circumferential surface of the piston material. According to the piston processing apparatus, the outer circumferential surface of the piston material can be processed into a three-dimensional shape with high-accuracy, and a piston that can improve fuel efficiency.
