High-pressure fuel pump

1. A high-pressure fuel pump comprising:

a low-pressure region with a low-pressure damper for damping pressure pulsations that occur during the operation of the high-pressure fuel pump;

wherein the low-pressure damper has a damper volume;

a damper capsule contained in the damper volume, the damper capsule including a gas volume enclosed between two membranes; and

a spiral spring enclosed in the damper volume outside the damper capsule for imparting a compressive preload force to at least a region of the damper capsule;

wherein the damper capsule has a gas volume region of lenticular form accommodating the gas volume enclosed between the membranes;

a connecting projection encircles the gas volume region;

the two membranes are connected to one another in gas-tight fashion; and

the spiral spring for imparting the compressive preload force is arranged on the connecting projection.

2. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the spiral spring comprises a helical spring with multiple concentrically arranged windings; and

the helical spring narrows conically along a longitudinal axis of the spiral spring.

3. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the spiral spring comprises a helical corrugated spring ring with multiple concentrically arranged windings;

some of the multiple windings have a corrugated form with at least two corrugation peaks and at least two corrugation troughs; and

two of the multiple windings arranged at respective ends along a longitudinal axis of the corrugated spring ring are formed without a corrugated form.

4. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 3 , wherein:

adjacent windings of the multiple windings form lenticular passage openings at an outer circumferential surface of the corrugated spring ring, along the longitudinal axis of the corrugated spring ring,

adjacent windings of the multiple windings are arranged such that corrugation peaks of a first winding are arranged on the corrugation troughs of a second winding and/or corrugation troughs of the first winding are arranged on the corrugation peaks of the second winding.

5. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a spiral spring inner diameter corresponds to a gas volume region diameter.

6. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one centering winding of the spiral spring for centering the spiral spring arrangement in the damper volume has an outer diameter corresponding to a damper volume inner diameter.

7. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the at least one centering winding comprises a ring-shaped disk connected concentrically to a winding of the spiral spring.

8. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the at least one centering winding includes cutouts arranged on an outer circumference forming at least three contact circle segments for making contact with a damper volume delimiting wall.

9. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a single centering winding arranged on the spiral spring along a longitudinal axis arranged in the center thereof.

10. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising two centering windings arranged at respective ends of the spiral spring, along a longitudinal axis.

11. A high-pressure fuel pump comprising:

a low-pressure region with a low-pressure damper for damping pressure pulsations that occur during the operation of the high-pressure fuel pump;

wherein the low-pressure damper has a damper volume;

a damper capsule contained in the damper volume, the damper capsule including a gas volume enclosed between two membranes; and

a spiral spring enclosed in the damper volume outside the damper capsule for imparting a compressive preload force to at least a region of the damper capsule;

wherein at least one centering winding of the spiral spring for centering the spiral spring arrangement in the damper volume has an outer diameter corresponding to a damper volume inner diameter; and

the at least one centering winding comprises a ring-shaped disk connected concentrically to a winding of the spiral spring.

12. The high-pressure fuel pump as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one centering winding includes cutouts arranged on an outer circumference forming at least three contact circle segments for making contact with a damper volume delimiting wall.
