Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments; the structures described in various embodiments can be freely combined without conflict in terms of structure or principle.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention:
[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model proposes a connection structure, which includes a coupling disk 101 coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft of the oil pump 1 and having a first connecting member 102, a rectangular spline-shaped shock absorber 2, and a camshaft 3 having a second connecting member 304. The shock absorber 2 is disposed between the camshaft 3 and the oil pump 1, and the first connecting member 102, the shock absorber 2, and the second connecting member 304 can be alternately engaged by the key teeth 201 of the shock absorber 2.
[0033] The shock-absorbing block 2 is preferably made of nylon material. Nylon material has excellent wear resistance, impact resistance and good resilience, can maintain stable physical properties in extreme environments, is not easy to deform or age, and has good self-lubricating property and lightweight characteristics, which can effectively reduce friction loss.
[0034] The "key teeth 201" of the rectangular spline-shaped shock-absorbing block 2 can be selected as 2, 4, 6, 8, etc., as long as the number of "key teeth 201" is a multiple of 2, and the number of the first connecting piece 102 and the second connecting piece 304 is half of the number of "key teeth 201". Here, "key teeth 201" refers to the main part of the shock-absorbing block 2 that contacts and transmits force and torque to the first connecting piece 102 and the second connecting piece 304. When "key teeth 201" are too few, the force and torque received by a single first connecting piece 102 or second connecting piece 304 are too large, which is not conducive to long-term use. When "key teeth 201" are too many, it is not convenient to process and produce the shock-absorbing block 2, and it is also not convenient to process and produce the combination disc 101 with the first connecting piece 102 and the camshaft 3 with the second connecting piece 304. In the present application, "key teeth 201" are preferably 6, corresponding to 3 first connecting pieces 102 and 3 second connecting pieces 304, which is convenient for processing and can also reduce the force and torque received by a single first connecting piece 102 and second connecting piece 304, thereby prolonging the service life of the oil pump 1 and the camshaft 3.
[0035] The force and torque transmitted from the camshaft 3 are transmitted to the shaft of the oil pump 1 through the shock-absorbing block 2 and the combination disc 101, thereby driving the oil pump 1 to work. The second connecting piece 304 on the camshaft 3 and the first connecting piece 102 on the combination disc 101 are alternately inserted and combined through the shock-absorbing block 2, avoiding direct contact between the camshaft 3 and the oil pump 1, thereby reducing wear and collision between the camshaft 3 and the oil pump 1.
[0036] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the side walls of the first connecting piece 102, the shock-absorbing block 2 and the second connecting piece 304 are in close contact with each other.
[0037] The side walls of the first connecting piece 102, the shock-absorbing block 2 and the second connecting piece 304 are in close contact with each other without gaps, which can ensure that the camshaft 3 drives the rotating shaft of the oil pump 1 to move synchronously through the shock-absorbing block 2, thereby reducing wear of the camshaft 3 and the rotating shaft of the oil pump 1, and further increasing the reliability and stability of the high-pressure common rail fuel pump.
[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , there is a first gap 6 between the end face of the first connecting piece 102 and the shock-absorbing block 2, a second gap 7 between the end face of the shock-absorbing block 2 and the second connecting piece 304, and a third gap 8 between the end faces of the first connecting piece 102 and the second connecting piece 304.
[0039] The ranges of the first gap 6, the second gap 7, and the third gap 8 are all between 1 and 3.5 mm. The camshaft 3 is the main drive, and the coupling plate 101 is the driven. When the damping block 2 is inclined towards the coupling plate 101, it will generate friction and increase the driving torque. Therefore, during installation, the damping block 2 will be more inclined towards the camshaft 3. Consequently, the first gap 6 and the third gap 8 are usually larger than the second gap 7.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the camshaft 3 has an oil chamber 301, an oil inlet 302 communicating with the oil chamber 301, and an oil outlet 303 communicating with the outside. The two ends of the oil chamber 301 are respectively press-fitted with a damping plug 5 and a sealing ball 4.
[0041] The number of oil outlet holes 303 is greater than 1, and the oil outlet holes 303 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer wall of the camshaft 3. Through the setting of oil chamber 301, oil inlet hole 302 and oil outlet hole 303, the oil circulates under pressure, which can force lubricate the camshaft 3 and improve the service life of the camshaft 3.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the damping block 2 has a first through hole 202, the connecting plate 101 has a second through hole 1011 that communicates with the first through hole 202, and the damping plug 5 has a damping hole 501 that communicates with the first through hole 202.
[0043] Engine oil or lubricating oil can enter the space between the first gap 6, the second gap 7, and the third gap 8 through the damping hole 501 and the second through hole 202 on the damping plug 5. This lubricates and cools the space between the first connecting member 102, the shock absorber 2, and the second connecting member 304, reducing friction between them. This increases the service life of the camshaft 3 and the oil pump 1, thereby increasing the reliability and stability of the high-pressure common rail injection pump. Simultaneously, engine oil or lubricating oil can enter the oil pump 1 through the second through hole 1011 to lubricate and cool the shaft of the oil pump 1, further extending its service life.
