A valve member includes a specific range in which an overlap area that is an area in which a hole opening and a slide outer wall are overlapped with each other becomes gradually smaller and a minimum passage area that is a passage area between an intermediate chamber and a first hole being minimum becomes gradually larger as the valve member is moved in a direction away from a valve seat portion in a movable range in the axial direction.

High pressure pump

A relief valve, capable of reducing pressure of fuel in a discharge passage and including a valve housing having a communication hole and a valve member provided in a reciprocating manner against the valve housing, where the valve member regulates a flow of the fuel between a discharge passage and a fuel chamber when the valve member is brought into contact with an inner wall formed around the communication hole. T the valve member also allows the flow of the fuel between the discharge passage and the fuel chamber when the valve member is separated from the inner wall. The relief valve further including a spring that biases the valve member such that the valve member and the inner wall are in contact with each other an adjusting pipe and a stopper.

Relief valve device and high-pressure pump using same

A high pressure pump includes a pressurization portion, a discharge portion, a body portion, a valve member, an urging member, valve hold member and a limiting portion. The body portion includes a relief passage, an inlet, a valve seat, and an outlet. The valve member includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion. The small diameter portion is located between the valve seat and the large diameter portion and has an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the large diameter portion. The valve hold member surrounding and holding the large diameter portion. The limiting portion capable of limiting a motion of the valve hold member in a separation direction. According to this, a pressure in a fuel rail from extraordinarily increasing again after the relief valve is opened once.

A pump may have a first chamber and a solenoid coil to control movement of a first valve member. A second chamber may have a second valve member to control fluid moving into a third chamber. A first fluid passageway may link the first and second chambers, a second passageway may link second and third chambers and a third passageway may link third and fourth chambers. After pressurizing the third chamber causing fluid to flow into and leave a fourth chamber, the third chamber depressurizes due to downward movement of a plunger. Upon depressurization with a solenoid coil energized, second valve member floats and then moves against a valve seat. While the second valve member is moving toward the valve seat, the solenoid coil is de-energized causing the first valve member to move and strike the second valve member when the second valve member is moving at maximum velocity.

Direct injection pump control strategy for noise reduction

A hydraulic pump includes a housing, a seat portion, and a valve element. The housing has a compression chamber and a fluid passage. The seat portion is provided midway through the fluid passage. The valve element is located between the compression chamber and the fluid passage. The valve element is a closed-end cylindrical member having a bottom portion, a cylindrical portion, and an opening end arranged in this order. The cylindrical portion is located farther away from the seat portion than the bottom portion. The valve element is seated to the seat portion at the bottom portion. A stopper substantially closes the opening end when making contact with the opening end to regulate movement of the valve element.

Hydraulic pump

A movable portion is movable from a closed position, in which the movable portion is in contact with a valve element, to an opened position so as to supply fuel from a fuel portion to a compression chamber through a fuel passage. A drive control unit supplies of a small driving current, which is sufficient to maintain the movable portion at the closed position, to a coil portion so as to move the movable portion from the opened position to the closed position. The drive control unit switches the supply of the small driving current to supply of the large driving current in the course of the movement of the movable portion to the closed position by supplying the small driving current.

Fuel supply apparatus

A flow-metering valve for metering a flow of liquid has a valve member, a stopper and an electromagnetic driving member. The valve member is reciprocally displaceably arranged between a first position and a second position in the liquid chamber. The stopper is arranged at the second position in the liquid chamber. The electromagnetic driving member generates a magnetic attractive force between the valve member and the stopper to hold the valve member at the second position when the electromagnetic driving member is energized.

Solenoid valve, flow-metering valve, high-pressure fuel pump and fuel injection pump

A pump includes a housing that has a compression chamber for pressurizing fluid and a fluid passage for guiding fluid into the compression chamber. A valve is located midway through the fluid passage for communicating and blocking the fluid passage. A solenoid actuator is located on a substantially opposite side of the compression chamber with respect to the valve for operating the valve. A regulating member is located between the valve and the solenoid actuator for regulating pressure of fluid in the compression chamber from being applied to the solenoid actuator.

High pressure pump having solenoid actuator

A high pressure pump has a fuel passage and a pump chamber. Fuel flows into the pump chamber through the fuel passage. The high pressure pump includes a valve member and a plunger. The valve member is movable along a movable axis in a substantially axial direction of the valve member for controlling an amount of fuel flowing into the pump chamber through the fuel passage. The plunger is movable substantially along a movable axis in a substantially axial direction of the plunger. The plunger is capable of pressurizing fuel in the pump chamber to discharge fuel in the pump chamber. The movable axis of the valve member is displaced from the movable axis of the plunger substantially in parallel with each other.

High pressure pump having downsized structure

Fuel injected from the cylindrical hole of a valve body passes through holes of an orifice plate and fuel holes of an assist sleeve. Collided and thus diverted first air flows collide with second air flows so as to sandwich fuel flows therebetween in a space at the upstream portions of the fuel holes. Each fuel flow is finely atomized while yet still maintaining directional control effected by the upstream orifice plate holes. Wall flow along the inner wall of a flow separator is suppressed, thus providing a fuel spray with improved atomization.
