An object of the present invention is to provide a high-pressure fuel supply pump having a structure capable of adjusting the moving speed of an anchor. Therefore, the high-pressure fuel supply pump of the present invention is provided with a protrusion that protrudes toward an anchor side on a fixed core facing surface of a fixed core. The protrusion is configured in such a manner that a minimum distance between the protrusion and an anchor facing surface is smaller than an axial gap dimension configured between the fixed core facing surface and the anchor facing surface in a direction along a central axis in a state where the anchor is stationary at the time of non-energization.

High-pressure fuel supply pump

A high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising a suction valve disposed on a suction side of a pressurizing chamber, an engagement member having a protrusion part that protrudes toward the outer periphery and biasing the suction valve by use of the force of a spring, a stator for generating a magnetic attraction force, and a plunger drawn by the magnetic attraction force and driving the engagement member toward the stator by engaging with the protrusion part, the fuel supply pump being configured so that the area of the fuel passage is smallest between the outer periphery of the protrusion part and the inner periphery of the plunger, and so that a tapered section whereby the area of the flow path increases from the portion where the area of the passage is smallest toward the pressurizing chamber or toward the suction valve side is formed.

When an electromagnetic coil receives an electric supply, a stationary core, a yoke, and a movable core form a magnetic circuit. The movable core is attracted to a side of the stationary core against the force provided by a return spring member. A fuel passage for injection of fuel is then opened. Axial direction stepwise differences are formed on the movable core. One end face of the stationary core opposes the stepwise difference through a first gap. A projection portion of the yoke is provided toward an inner side of the yoke. This projection portion opposes a position of a side to provide an axial direction magnetic attraction through a second gap. By the provision of the first and second gaps, plural axial direction magnetic attraction gaps are formed and become a part of the magnetic circuit. By increasing a magnetic attraction efficiency of the movable core, an improvement in performance of a fuel injector and a fuel injector having a compact size and a light weight structure can be attained.
