Rail for high-pressure direct injection
The present invention aims for obtaining a fuel rail for gasoline direct injection which can be used for the direct injection at a high fuel pressure of 50 MPa or more by increasing the thickness at the portion near the branch hole and using the material having high thickness for the metal seal portion while keeping the weight light and keeping the cost low. A fuel rail for gasoline direct injection made of steel and used at a fuel pressure of 50 MPa or more, the fuel rail having: a plurality of block members 2; and a pipe member 1 which connects an interval between the block members, wherein the block members 2 have: a branch hole 3 which communicates with the pipe member 1; and a metal seal portion 6 to which an injector is connected, and the hardness of the block members 2 is higher than the hardness of the pipe member 1.
1. A fuel rail for gasoline direct injection made of steel and used at a fuel pressure of 50 MPa or more, the fuel rail comprising:
a plurality of block members; and
a pipe member which connects an interval between the block members, wherein the block members have:
a branch hole which communicates with the pipe member; and
a metal seal portion to which an injector is connected, and
the hardness of the block members is higher than the hardness of the pipe member.
2. The fuel rail for gasoline direct according to claim 1 , wherein
a reinforcing member is installed in the interval between the block members in an arrangement direction of the pipe member to increase rigidity of the interval between the block members.
