  • Patent number: 7487759
    Abstract: A flow damper includes a valve body, a piston, a spring, and a cap. The valve body is fastened to the rail main body and has a fuel passage therein. The fuel passage communicates between a fuel hole of the rail main body and the injector. The fuel passage includes a piston sliding hole on its rail main body-side. The piston is slidably held on an inner circumferential surface of the piston sliding hole. The spring urges the piston in an opposite direction from a direction of fuel flowing through the fuel passage. The cap includes a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion. The small diameter portion is fitted into the inner circumferential surface of the piston sliding hole with a gap between the small diameter portion and the piston sliding hole. The large diameter portion is located between the valve body and the rail main body.

  • Publication number: 20080156296
    Abstract: A common-rail fuel injection system includes an injector, a flow damper, a common rail having a rail main body, a piston upstream side supply passage, a piston upstream side orifice disposed in the upstream side supply passage to reduce its cross-sectional area, a piston downstream side supply passage, and a piston downstream side orifice disposed in the downstream side supply passage to reduce its cross-sectional area. The damper includes a valve body having a fuel passage, one end of which communicating with the main body and the other end of which communicating with the injector, and a piston slidably held in the fuel passage. Fuel flows from a pressure accumulating chamber in the main body into the piston through the upstream side supply passage, and flows from the piston into the injector through the downstream side supply passage.

  • Patent number: 5913293
    Abstract: An oil passage structure of an engine is provided, wherein oil is prevented from being drained from an oil passage when the engine is stopped, and air mixed into the oil in the oil passage can be surely removed. The oil passage structure includes a first oil path or paths for supplying oil to lash adjusters of a cylinder head of the engine, a second oil path that communicates with an oil pump and supplies oil into an upstream portion of each first oil path, and an air vent passage that is connected to a downstream portion of each first oil path and has an opening through which the air is to be removed from the oil path. The second oil path and the opening of the air vent passage are located at higher positions than the first oil path(s).
