  • Patent number: 9664163
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal structure of a high-pressure fuel pipe for a direct injection engine which can prevent stress concentration to a brazed portion between a pipe and a connection part effectively. In the terminal structure of a high-pressure fuel pipe for a direct injection engine where a connection head is brazed to an end of a fuel pipe, the end of the fuel pipe continued to a fuel pipe insertion portion of the connection head is provided with a drawn portion, an outer diameter D1 of the drawn portion to a fuel pipe diameter D satisfies 0.8D?D1?0.9D, and a length L1 of the drawn portion having the outer diameter D1 in a pipe-axial direction from an end of the fuel pipe insertion portion satisfies L1?0.06D.

  • Patent number: 7275521
    Abstract: A joint structure connects a diverging branch pipe to a fuel rail for an internal combustion engine. The fuel rail is stainless steel or steel with rust prevention processing on at least the inner face. The diverging branch pipe is a double pipe with inner and outer pipes. The inner pipe has excellent rust preventing ability with respect to fuel on its inner face in comparison with the outer face of the outer pipe. The inner and outer pipes are connected by a nut for fastening through a joint fitting. A connecting seal portion of the diverging branch pipe and the joint fitting has rust preventing ability equal to that of the inner circumferential face of the diverging branch pipe. An entire liquid contact portion, including a seal face of the diverging branch pipe with respect to the fuel is covered with the inner pipe.
