Abstract
A common rail is provided in the pipe joint of the branch connector to improve the strength and resistance against the internal pressure fatigue; said common rail having a longitudinal conduit of a substantially circular section therein and a plurality of branch holes formed in its circumferential wall at an axial spacing, each of the branch holes having a pressure receiving seat formed on the circumferential face thereof and opened to the outside, wherein connected by means of branch connector having a conduit to communicate with the conduit of the common rail, a joint head formed at the end thereof and forming a pressure seat so that the branch pipe is engaged by bringing the pressure face thereof into abutment against the pressure receiving face, a joint portion made integral with or separate from the main pipe rail, and a nut assembled in advance in the branch pipe and fastened into the joint portion against the pressure of the joint head thereby. The branch hole is formed into an elliptical hole and offset in the radial direction of the conduit of the common rail.

6427665 - High pressure fuel reservoir - Owned by Robert Bosch GmbH (Stuttgart,DE)

The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel reservoir for a common-rail fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a tubular base body, which has a substantially circular-cylindrical interior disposed centrally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tubular base body, which interior communicates with a plurality of connection openings. To enhance the high-pressure strength by simple provisions, the cross section of the tubular base body, in the portions in which the connection openings are disposed, is embodied in weakened form.

6604510 - Fuel system including a fuel injector directly mounted to a fuel rail - Owned by Siemens Automotive Corporation (Auburn Hills, MI)

A fuel system has a fuel injector directly mounted with a fuel rail. The fuel rail has a body with interior and exterior surfaces. The interior surface defines a volume. The exterior surface surrounds the interior surface. An aperture extends between the interior and exterior surfaces in fluid communication with the volume. The fuel injector has an inlet tube with an inside surface that defines a flow path through a portion of the fuel injector, and an outside surface that surrounds the inside surface. The fuel injector is disposed so that the flow path is in fluid communication with the volume. A rigid connection is disposed between at least one of the interior and exterior surfaces of the fuel rail and the outside surface of the inlet tube, the rigid connection securing and hermetically sealing the fuel rail with the fuel injector.

6793252 - Method for machining a common rail, common rail, and connection stub for application of the method - Owned by Robert Bosch GmbH (Stuttgart,DE)

The invention relates to a common rail for a common rail fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a base body whose interior communicates with a plurality of connection openings. To increase the high-pressure strength, one elongated connection stub extends through each associated connection opening into the interior of the base body.

6598592 - Fuel system including a fuel injector internally mounted to a fuel rail - Owned by Seimens Automotive Corporation (Auburn Hills, MI)

A fuel system has a fuel injector directly mounted with a fuel rail. The fuel rail includes a first portion and a second portion that form a body. The body has an interior surface defining a volume, an exterior surface surrounding the interior surface, and at least one aperture disposed between the interior and exterior surfaces in fluid communication with the volume. The at least one fuel injector has an inlet tube with an inside surface defining a flow path through a portion of the fuel injector and an outside surface surrounding the inside surface. The fuel injector is disposed such that the flow path is in fluid communication with the volume. A rigid connection is disposed between the interior surface of the fuel rail and at least one of the outside surface and the inside surface of the inlet tube. The rigid connection secures and hermetically seals the fuel rail with the at least one fuel injector.

6736431 - High-pressure fuel accumulator - Owned by Robert Bosch GmbH (Stuttgart,DE)

A high-pressure fuel accumulator for a common-rail fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine has a tubular main body (1) to which is welded at least one bushing (13) for connecting a high-pressure line (6). To improve the quality and safety of the high-pressure connections, a collar (14) is formed on the end of the bushing (13) facing the main body (1).
