Abstract

An electric fuel pump provided on a pump casing supporting an impeller by a sliding surface of a pump seat and a sliding surface of a pump cover, and formed on the peripheral side of the pump chamber near the side opposite to the pump chamber outlet of the pump cover sliding surface The contact relief portion with the clearance larger than the small gap between the impeller and the sliding surface, a stepped side wall is formed at the downstream end of the contact relief portion on the side opposite to the pump chamber outlet, and the inclination angle of the stepped side wall is between 90 degrees and 90 degrees. Between 135 degrees, the fuel pump can reduce the frictional resistance between the pump casing and the impeller, prevent the reduction of the motor speed and the increase in power consumption, and improve the discharge efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inner tank type electric fuel pump installed in a fuel tank of an automobile and the like to pressurize fuel to an engine. Background technique [0002] Figure 14 It is a partially cutaway side view of a conventional electric fuel pump disclosed in Japanese Invention Publication No. 187382 in 1993. Figure 15 is along Figure 14 Sectional view of line XV-XV in middle. Figure 16 yes yes along Figure 15 Sectional view of XVI-XVI line. Figure 17 It is a top view of a pump cover that is not provided with a contact relief part (when り escape し part) for reference. [0003] In the figure, 1 is a disk-shaped impeller with a plurality of impeller grooves 1a radially formed on the outer peripheral edge, and 2 is a pump cover that faces one side 1b of the impeller 1 with a small gap and has a sliding surface 2a that supports the impeller 1. , 3 is a pump base with a small gap opposite to the other side 1c of the impell...
