A high-pressure fuel pump is disclosed. The high-pressure fuel pump comprises a housing, and a barrel that is positioned within the housing. A plunger is positioned in a pumping chamber that is defined within the barrel. The plunger is adapted to reciprocate within the pumping chamber that is defined within the barrel to facilitate delivering pressurized fuel from the pumping chamber to a fuel injector. A T-shaped valve and an inverse T-shaped valve are each positioned within a fuel inlet port that is defined in the barrel of the high-pressure fuel pump, the T-shaped valve and the inverse T-shaped valve adapted to regulate a flow of fuel between the pumping chamber and a fuel gallery of the high-pressure fuel pump is also disclosed.

Provided is a high-pressure fuel pump that ensures oil tightness even at high fuel pressure and has a small and lightweight inexpensive discharge valve structure. Therefore, a high-pressure fuel pump according to the present invention includes: a discharge valve arranged on a discharge side of a pressurizing chamber; a discharge valve seat on which the discharge valve is seated; and a facing member configured independently as a separate member from the discharge valve seat and located on an opposite side of the discharge valve seat with the discharge valve interposed therebetween, in which a stroke direction regulating portion that regulates displacement of the discharge valve in a stroke direction is formed on a tapered surface of the facing member.

Provided is a high-pressure fuel supply pump capable of fixing a cylinder to a pump body with excellent sealability in a simple structure even at a high fuel pressure. A high-pressure fuel supply pump including a pump body in which a pressurizing chamber is formed, and a cylinder inserted into a hole formed in the pump body and formed in a cylindrical shape, the high-pressure fuel supply pump including: a protrusion disposed at an end portion of the pump body opposite to the pressurizing chamber, formed from an outer peripheral side to an inner peripheral side with respect to an inner peripheral surface opposite to an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, and protruding toward the cylinder, wherein the protrusion is formed so as to protrude to a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber with respect to a flat portion of the end portion of the pump body, and the protrusion is formed so as to support the cylinder from a side opposite to the pressurizing chamber.

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.

In an internal combustion engine (1) comprising an electroconductive cylinder head (3), a head cover (5) attached to the cylinder head, a fuel pump (11) attached to the cylinder head and including an electroconductive pump case electrically connected to the cylinder head, and an engine cover (30) positioned so as to oppose the head cover and the fuel pump, the engine cover includes a sound insulating material (31) in contact with the pump case.

A fuel injection pump includes a plunger, a plunger barrel which supports the plunger, a body which houses the plunger and the plunger barrel, a plate which covers an opening formed on the body, a control lever turnably attached near the plate, and an adjuster bolt which abuts against the control lever to restrict turn of the control lever and is supported by a stay disposed on the plate.

Provided is a high-pressure fuel supply pump capable of arranging a relief valve mechanism inside a pump body while suppressing an increase in size and an increase in manufacturing cost. Therefore, a high-pressure fuel supply pump of the present invention includes: a plunger that changes a volume of a pressurizing chamber by reciprocating an inside of a cylinder; a first hole formed from an outer circumferential surface of a pump body toward an inner circumferential side; a relief valve mechanism arranged in the first hole; and a second hole that returns fuel in a flow path on a discharge side of a discharge valve pressurized in the pressurizing chamber to a damper chamber or a plunger seal chamber communicating with the damper chamber when the relief valve mechanism opens in communication with the first hole. At least a part of the relief valve mechanism arranged in the first hole is arranged on the pressurizing chamber side with respect to the uppermost end portion on the pressurizing chamber side of the cylinder.

The present disclosure relates to high-pressure fuel pumps and the teaching may be applied to pumps in which a pump piston, by means of which a fuel is acted on with a high pressure, is guided in a guiding sleeve. In some embodiments, a high-pressure fuel pump may include: a housing having a housing recess; a pump piston for pressurizing a fuel; and a guiding sleeve arranged in the housing recess and guiding the pump piston. The guiding sleeve is connected to the housing recess with a materially engaging connection.

To reduce collision noise created by the operation of an electromagnetic suction valve provided on a high pressure fuel supply pump, the mass of a member which collides by magnetic attractive force is reduced. The noise generated when a core and an anchor collide with each other by magnetic attractive force depends on the magnitude of the kinetic energy of a moving element. The kinetic energy to be consumed in the collision is only the kinetic energy of the anchor. The kinetic energy of a rod, being absorbed by a spring, does not contribute to the noise; thus, the energy when the anchor and the core collide with each other can be reduced, whereby the noise to be created can be reduced.

The present invention provides a fuel pump capable of suppressing sticking of a plunger. The fuel pump of the present invention includes a plunger 2 that reciprocates, a cylinder 6 in which a guide hole 6a that guides the reciprocating motion of the plunger 2 extends in the axial direction, and a pump body 1 that holds the cylinder 6. The pump body 1 includes a cylinder insertion hole 1g into which the cylinder 6 is inserted, and a pressurizing chamber 11 that communicates with the cylinder insertion hole 1g and has a volume increased or decreased by the reciprocating motion of the plunger 2. The cylinder 6 includes a press-fitting portion 6b press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder insertion hole 1g, and a groove 6d formed at a position corresponding to the press-fitting portion 6b on the inner peripheral surface of the guide hole 6a.
