To increase a valve-opening pressure at which a pressure relief valve is opened in order to deal with a higher pressure of the fuel, a large pressure relief valve is installed in a high-pressure fuel supply pump. This upsizes the high-pressure fuel supply pump. A pressure relief valve is installed in a discharge joint. This can provide a high-pressure fuel supply pump that is not large too much and sufficiently performs a relief function by efficiently using the excessive space in the pump even when the fuel pressure is increased.

High-pressure fuel supply pump

A pump for supplying high-pressure includes a plunger, a cylinder, a body, and a holder. The uppermost end surface of the cylinder is an end of the cylinder that is closest to the pressurizing chamber. A first gap formed between the outer periphery of the cylinder and the body in the radial direction is smaller than a second gap formed in the radial direction between the inner diameter of the pressurizing chamber and the outer diameter of the plunger. A radial gap is formed in an entire area of the cylinder in an axial direction thereof.

Pump for supplying high-pressure fuel

A high pressure fuel supply pump includes: an electromagnetic suction valve that adjusts an amount of fuel sucked into a pressuring chamber; a discharge valve that discharges the fuel from the pressuring chamber; and a plunger that makes a reciprocating motion in the pressuring chamber. The electromagnetic suction valve includes an electromagnetic coil, a suction valve, and a movable portion that is able to close the suction valve by a magnetic force when the electromagnetic coil is energized. The movable portion includes an anchor that is driven to close the suction valve by the magnetic force and stops at a fixed member, and a rod that is driven with the anchor and is able to move even after the anchor stops. The electromagnetic suction valve includes a first and second springs that bias the suction valve in closed and open direction, respectively, and a third spring in the rod.

High pressure fuel supply pump

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electromagnetic valve structure improved in terms of the responsiveness of the electromagnetic valve and helping to realize a more accurate flow rate control, and to provide a high-pressure fuel supply pump in which the same is mounted. There is provided a high-pressure fuel supply pump having an electromagnetic valve equipped with an electromagnetic coil generating an electromagnetic force for opening and closing a valve body provided between a fuel intake path and a pressure chamber, a movable member operated by the electromagnetic force, a housing accommodating the movable member, and a back-pressure chamber formed between the housing and the movable member, wherein a first fuel path causing the back-pressure chamber to communicate with the intake path passes the center axis of the movable member.

A high-pressure fuel supply pump includes a plunger, a valve member, a valve seat, a pressurizing chamber, and a fuel passage. The fuel passage includes a gap passage portion formed in a gap between the valve seat and the valve member. The fuel passage also includes a bent passage portion extending in a bent direction with respect to the gap passage portion, on the downstream side of the gap passage portion. The inner surface of the valve member, on a side thereof that faces the valve seat, has a convex shape in an area of the valve member that is between the bent passage portion and the gap passage portion.
