Injector fixing structure of fuel rail
Disclosed herein is an injector fixing structure of a fuel rail. The injector fixing structure for a fuel rail module is configured such that an injector cup that includes a slot formed at a side thereof and an injector that includes an anti-rotation pin inserted into the slot are coupled to each other by a clip. The injector fixing structure also includes a lock formed integrally with the anti-rotation pin, and a fixing member coupled to the slot and allowing the lock to be secured when the anti-rotation pin is inserted into the slot such that the anti-rotation pin is prevented from being separated from the slot. The present invention may prevent separation of the injector from the fuel rail during transportation of the fuel rail module, thereby improving assemblability of the fuel rail module in engine assembly and increasing process efficiency.
1. An injector fixing structure of a fuel rail for a fuel rail module wherein an injector cup that includes a slot formed at a side thereof and an injector that includes an anti-rotation pin inserted into the slot are coupled to each other by a clip, the injector fixing structure comprising:
a lock formed integrally with the anti-rotation pin; and
a fixing member coupled to the slot and allowing the lock to be secured when the anti-rotation pin is inserted into the slot such that the anti-rotation pin is prevented from being separated from the slot,
wherein the anti-rotation pin is divided into first to third pin members which are separated from each other such that each pin member is configured to be elastically deformed in forward, rearward, left, and right direction, and
wherein the lock is formed on a surface of the second pin member that is a middle pin member of the first to third pin members.
2. The injector fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is provided at a lower end portion of the slot of the injector cup such that after the anti-rotation pin is inserted through a space between the slot and the fixing member, the lock is secured to an upper end portion of the fixing member.
3. The injector fixing structure of claim 1 , wherein the lock is formed on a front surface of the second pin member.
4. The injector fixing structure of claim 3 , wherein the second pin member is elastically deformed in a rearward direction upon insertion into the slot such that the lock is allowed to pass through the fixing member, and is then restored to an original shape thereof after the lock passes through the fixing member, whereby the lock is secured to the fixing member.
