A plunger of a high-pressure pump is provided reciprocatably on an inner side of a cylinder. A holder disposed on an opposite side of the cylinder from a pressurizing chamber includes a large tubular portion that provides a predetermined space between the large tubular portion and an outer wall of the plunger, and a small tubular portion that is disposed on an opposite side of the large tubular portion from the cylinder. A pin inserted into a hole of the plunger at a position corresponding to the large tubular portion protrudes radially outward from the outer wall of the plunger and is accommodated in a space on an inner side of the large tubular portion.

An object of the present invention is to prevent generation of wear at a rod collision portion in an electromagnetic intake valve of a high-pressure fuel supply pump by reducing inclinations of the intake valve and a rod. A structure of the electromagnetic intake valve of the high-pressure fuel supply pump is configured as follows. A seat portion of an intake valve and a guide portion of a rod are configured as an integral part, and further, a rod guide is made to have a sufficiently long length so that it is possible to perform guide at one portion. Further, the intake valve seat portion and a surface where the rod collides with the intake valve are formed on the same plane.

A metering valve supplies fuel to and block fuel from a pressurizing chamber by moving a valve body by switching between energization and de-energization of an electromagnetic unit. An energization control unit performs a valve closing control and a valve opening control to reduce operating sound in one opening and closing period in which the valve body opens and closes. A time control unit controls, on determination that the energizing period of the electromagnetic unit exceeds the upper limit value, a moving speed of the valve body when the valve body moves to a valve closing side, such that the energization period of the electromagnetic unit in the one opening and closing period does not exceed the upper limit value, thereby to cause the energization control unit to perform both the valve closing control and the valve opening control in the one opening and closing period.

A fuel pump includes a pump housing with a pumping chamber an inlet valve bore. An inlet valve selectively provides and prevents fluid communication between an inlet of the fuel pump and the pumping chamber. The inlet valve includes an inner housing received within the inlet valve bore such that an outer periphery of the inner housing is sealed to an inner periphery of the inlet valve bore. An outer housing circumferentially surrounds the inner housing. An annular chamber is defined radially between the inner housing and the outer housing and axially between the outer housing and the pump housing. A sealing ring is located within the annular chamber such that the sealing ring is compressed axially against the pump housing and the outer housing.

A high-pressure pump includes a valve member that allows or blocks a flow of fuel to a pressure chamber. A needle is reciprocable inside a cylinder member. One end of the needle facing the pressure chamber is provided with the valve member. Another end of the needle is provided with a movable core that faces a fixed core in an axial direction of the needle. The high-pressure pump includes a coil assembly that includes a coil, a terminal connected to the coil, and first and second yokes that form a magnetic circuit on both sides of the coil in the axial direction. The coil assembly is between a first connection portion and a second connection portion. The first connection portion connects the coil assembly and the fixed core. The second connection portion connects the coil assembly and the cylinder member.

Provided is a fuel pump capable of improving productivity. According to the present invention, a fuel pump includes a pump body 1, a plunger 2, an electromagnetic suction valve 3, and a relief valve 4. The plunger 2 reciprocates in a first room 1a which is a columnar space portion provided in the pump body 1. The electromagnetic suction valve 3 causes fuel to be sucked into a pressurizing chamber 11 formed by the first room 1a and the plunger 2. When the fuel pressure on the downstream side of the pressurizing chamber 11 exceeds a set value, the relief valve 4 opens, and brings the fuel back to the pressurizing chamber 11. The pump body 1 includes a second room 1b in which the relief valve 4 is disposed, and a communication hole 1e for causing the first room 1a and the second room 1b to communicate with each other. The diameter of the communication hole 1e is equal to the diameter of the first room 1a.

Provided is a high-pressure fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine, said device being capable of suppressing noise from collisions of a plunger rod and an air intake valve. A high-pressure fuel pump 108 comprises an intake valve, a plunger rod that is formed as a separate element from the intake valve, an elastic member that biases the plunger rod in the valve-opening direction of the intake valve, and a solenoid that draws the plunger rod in the valve-closing direction of the intake valve when supplied with electricity. A control device 101 has a first control unit that applies a first current to the solenoid in order to close the intake valve, and a second control unit that applies a second current to the solenoid before the plunger rod collides with the intake valve due to the biasing force of the elastic member.

A valve assembly includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. An operator cavity is within the valve body, and the valve body includes a valve operator socket surface. A valve operator is slidably coupled with the valve body and in the operator cavity. The valve operator includes an operator surface configured to selectively isolate the fluid inlet from the fluid outlet, and an end surface. At least one of the valve operator socket surface or the end surface of the valve operator include a discontinuous interface. The discontinuous interface includes a recessed surface, and one or more interface breaking projections extending from the recessed surface, the one or more interface breaking projections space the recessed surface from the valve operator socket surface.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a high pressure fuel supply pump capable of reducing pressure pulsation that occurs in a low pressure pipe, preventing damage to the low pressure pipe, or reducing noise due to vibrations of the low pressure pipe. The present invention provides a high pressure fuel supply pump of a type in which, from a fuel suction port connected to a low pressure pipe provided upstream of a fuel, a low pressure passage, an electromagnetic suction valve driven by an electromagnetic force, a pressurizing chamber in which the volume thereof is increased or reduced by a plunger that is reciprocatingly moved by being guided by a cylinder, and a discharge valve provided at an outlet of the pressurizing chamber are sequentially arranged, a fuel is sucked to the pressurizing chamber through the electromagnetic suction valve, the amount of a part of the fuel, which is sucked to the pressurizing chamber, to be returned to the low pressure passage side is adjusted so that the amount of the fuel to be discharged through the discharge valve is controlled, and the high pressure fuel supply pump includes a backflow suppression mechanism for suppressing backflow of fuel from the fuel from the fuel suction portion to the low pressure pipe side.
