TECHNICAL FIELD
[1] The present disclosure generally relates to field of automobiles. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to a BLDC motor driver used in fuel pump modules in vehicles. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a locking means for mounting a driver associated with the BLDC motor on the Fuel Pump Module.
BACKGROUND
[2] The information in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art(s) for the present disclosure.
[3] In a vehicle, fuel has to be supplied from a fuel tank or fuel reservoir to an intake manifold of an engine of the vehicle. Most of the vehicles from ancient era used gravity to supply the fuel to a carburetor, which is fitted into before the intake manifold of the engine. With improvement in technology, the fuel tanks are shifted to back of the vehicle in order to improve safety and utilize maximum possible space. The positioning of fuel tank requires a fuel pump to allow flow of fuel from back of the vehicle to the carburetor. With the advancement in technology, as carburetors were replaced by electronic fuel injections, mechanical fuel pumps were replaced by high pressure electric pumps. Electric fuel pumps in existing vehicles spin continuously as the engine runs, and will circulate hundreds of gallons of fuel in their lifetime. Not all fuel is sprayed through the injectors at low load/idle, so the fuel pump regulator returns the un-used fuel to the fuel tank on most systems.
[4] The in-tank fuel pump uses Brushless Direct Current (hereinafter referred to as "BLDC") motor for pumping the fuel to the engine. For power signals and other associated signals for operating the BLDC motor, a driver is used. The driver transmits the voltage to rotate the motor of the fuel pump to facilitate pumping of the fuel. The drivers in existing fuel pump are usually mounted to the fuel pumps by means of mechanical fasteners like screws, bolts and nuts and likewise. However, using fasteners

to mount the driver requires significant modification in fuel pump body and may damage the body of the fuel tank. Further, the mounting of driver by means of fasteners also results in complex structure of fuel pump, increases the number of assembling components and consequently increases the assembly and/or manufacturing cost of the fuel pump.
[5] The vehicle manufacturers have tried and implemented different solutions to limit the assembling components of the fuel pump. One such solution, is to replace the fasteners by snap-fit mechanism to mount the driver with body of the fuel pump. The drivers are provided with snap-fit arrangements to lock the driver onto a housing of the fuel pump. However, the drivers provided with locking tabs to facilitate snap-fit mounting of the drivers also result in damaging of the housing of the fuel pump. Further, if any of the locking tabs gets deformed or gets detached from the driver, then the complete driver requires to get replaced with a new driver to facilitate pumping of the fuel and sometime it may result to severe damage to the fuel pump which in turn results in replacement of the entire fuel pump. Further, the replacement of fuel pump or the driver may increase the maintenance cost of the fuel pump unit.
[6] In view of above, there is an immense need in the art to provide a solution to the mounting of the driver with the fuel pump housing for vehicles, which can reliably prevent the fuel pump housing from getting affected during mounting or removing of the driver and can reduce the manufacturing well as maintenance cost significantly.
[7] The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the existing driver mounting structures on the fuel pump modules of the vehicles.
