An outlet valve includes an outlet valve housing with an outlet valve bore including an outlet valve seating surface. The outlet valve also includes an outlet valve member which moves within the outlet valve bore second portion between a closed position and an open position. A surface of the outlet valve bore guides the outlet valve member during movement between the closed position and the open position. The surface of the outlet valve bore and the outlet valve seating surface are provided on a continuous piece of material of the outlet valve housing. An outlet valve spring biases the outlet valve member toward the closed position and a retainer is fixed to the outlet valve housing which grounds the outlet valve spring to the outlet valve housing.

Provide is a high-pressure fuel pump capable of improving the degree of freedom of layout of members to be attached to a pump body and a producing method thereof. Therefore, the high-pressure fuel pump includes the suction joint that sucks fuel, the pump body formed with the pressurizing chamber that pressurizes the fuel sucked from the suction joint, and the discharge joint that discharges the fuel pressurized in the pressurizing chamber. The pump body is formed so that at least a part of the side surface portion thereof becomes a cylindrical portion or a polygonal shape portion. At least one of the discharge joint and the suction joint may be fixed on the inner peripheral side with respect to the outermost peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion or the polygonal shape portion of the side surface portion.

A liquid pump applicable in a fuel system such as a common rail fuel system includes a valve assembly having a valve stack with axially aligned components, dead volume, and vapor-distributing flow channels, for cavitation mitigation. An inlet valve meters a flow of liquid into the pump for pressurization by a plurality of reciprocating plungers operated by way of a rotating camshaft.

A valve arrangement for a fuel injection system includes a first valve unit (42) having a first flow cross section (Q.sub.1) and a second valve unit (44) having a second flow cross-section Q.sub.2). The second valve unit includes at least two single valves (48), each of which has a single valve flow cross-section Q.sub.E). The second flow cross-section (Q.sub.2) is formed by a sum of the single valve flow cross-sections (Q.sub.E). A fuel injection system (10) incorporates such a valve arrangement (22).

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fluid control device that includes a housing defining a plunger cavity in fluid communication with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a valve having a shaft having a first end and a second end, and a stopper at the first end configured to block a fluid circuit between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet in a first configuration of the inlet control valve and connect the fluid circuit in a second configuration of the inlet control valve, and a plunger configured for axial movement within the plunger cavity, defining a shaft cavity having an inner wall extending from an enclosed end to an open end in fluid communication with the fluid outlet, and configured to accommodate axial movement of the shaft within the shaft cavity.

A discharge valve includes: a valve main body that slidably contacts an inner peripheral wall of a tubular portion; and a primary passage that is formed at the valve main body and is located between the valve main body and the inner peripheral wall of the tubular portion. A stopper includes: a stopper main body that is formed separately from the tubular portion while the stopper main body is located on a side of the discharge valve that is opposite to the discharge valve seat; a movement limit surface that is configured to limit movement of the discharge valve in a direction away from the discharge valve seat; and a secondary passage that is formed at the stopper main body.

In a hybrid fuel supply system for the same high pressure supply pump used for gasoline direct injection (DI) is also used to supply the port injection (PI) system. For a given pumping stroke, fuel can be delivered only to the DI system, only to the PI system, or a first portion can be delivered to the DI system and a second portion delivered to the PI system. The pumping chamber always fills to maximum volume. Fuel metering for DI is by a control valve, which when closed delivers fuel into the DI system and when opened spills pumped fuel into the PI system. Any spill at high pressure opens a pressure regulating valve in the PI system that dumps fuel at excess pressure to a low pressure region to maintain the PI system at a constant target pressure.

An object of the present invention is to provide a high-pressure fuel supply pump that can restrict lowering of pressure and generation of cavitation in the vicinity of a seat by providing a throttle in a relief spring holder. Accordingly, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a fuel supply pump that includes a pressurizing chamber configured to pressurize fuel, and a relief valve mechanism configured to return fuel in a discharge path on a downstream side of the discharge valve to the pressurizing chamber. The relief valve mechanism includes a relief seat configured to close a relief channel when a relief valve is seated, a relief spring configured to energize the relief valve to the relief seat, and a relief spring holder configured to hold the relief spring. In the relief spring holder, a throttle section is formed in a fuel path for returning from a relief chamber in which the relief spring is disposed to the pressurizing chamber and the channel. The above object can be achieved by the above configuration.

Embodiments relate to a valve arrangement for a fuel injection system, including a valve disc that has a valve opening. A deformable valve sheet that is movable in a movement direction is provided to open and close the valve opening, and a valve shaft of a movement-activation arrangement, provided to activate the movement of the valve sheet, is secured to the valve sheet. The embodiments also relate to a high-pressure pump which includes the valve arrangement.

A fuel pump having a housing defining a pump chamber and an inlet and outlet fluidly connected to the pump chamber. A one way check valve is disposed fluidly in series between the pump chamber and the outlet and is oriented to allow fluid flow from the pump chamber and to the outlet when the check valve is open. A venturi tube is fluidly connected in series between the pump chamber and the outlet which effectively dampens noise pulsations. An inlet valve to the pump chamber has an anchor attached to a valve member and the stationary core. A conical surface on the core abuts against a complementary conical surface on the anchor when the valve is either in its fully open or fully closed position.
