Provided is a discharge valve mechanism capable of improving responsiveness when a discharge valve is opened, and a high-pressure fuel supply pump including the discharge valve mechanism.

A discharge valve mechanism 500 includes a valve seat portion 51 having a primary-side flow path, a valve body 52 which can be seated on and separated from the valve seat portion 51, and a guide portion 542a which is formed to be slidable on an outer surface of the valve body 52 and guides movement of the valve body 52 in a contacting/separating direction with respect to the valve seat portion 51. The guide portion 542a includes a portion in which a gap from the outer surface of the valve body 52 is set to a predetermined value or less. A first secondary-side flow path 545 which allows an internal space 541a on an upstream side of the guide portion 542a to communicate with an external flow path 2g is formed to allow the fluid to flow out to a side in a moving direction of the valve body 52, and a second secondary-side flow path 546 which allows an internal space 543a on a downstream side of the guide portion 542a to communicate with the external flow path 2g is formed to allow the fluid to flow out to the side in the moving direction of the valve body 52.

For a fuel injection device, a configuration to improve fuel sealability when a valve is closed is provided. Therefore, the fuel injection device includes: a valve body that opens and closes a fuel flow path; a movable iron core in which a fuel passage hole communicating an upstream side and a downstream side is formed, and that operates the valve body toward the upstream side; a biasing spring whose one end contacts the movable iron core, and that biases the movable iron core in a valve opening direction; and a regulating unit that regulates movement of the one end of the biasing spring, in which the shortest distance between the one end of the biasing spring and the fuel passage hole is larger than a radial travel distance of the one end until radial movement of the one end is regulated by the regulating unit.

Device for controlling an injector, including a passage space which can be closed off on one of its two sides by an armature element in order to thereby optionally separate a fluid high-pressure region from a fluid low-pressure region of the injector, a control space for applying a variable pressure to an injector component, preferably an injector needle, a valve which is arranged between another of the two sides of the passage space and the control space, a first connection which connects the high-pressure region of the injector to the passage space, and a second connection which connects the passage space to the control space, wherein the valve is configured to establish a direct connection between the high-pressure region and the control space if the pressure level in the passage space is equal to or higher than a predetermined value.

A fuel injection valve includes a valve body, a fixed core, a movable core, a holder, and a stopper. The movable core has an inner core that contacts the stopper, and an outer core press-fitted to an outer peripheral surface of the inner core. The outer core has, in a moving direction of the movable core, a press-fit region which is press-fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the inner core, and a non-press-fit region which is not press-fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the inner core and is adjacent to the press-fit region in the moving direction. Between the inner peripheral surface of the holder and the outer peripheral surface of the movable core, the smallest gap in the press-fit region is larger than the smallest gap in the non-press-fit region.

A valve assembly for a fluid injection valve has a longitudinal axis and includes a valve seat and a valve disc. The valve seat has an orifice that is laterally offset from the longitudinal axis. The valve disc has a fluid passage which, in a first angular position of the valve disc, is positioned in such fashion that it overlaps the orifice at an interface of the valve disc and the valve seat to establish a fluid path through the valve disc and the valve seat for dispensing fluid from the valve assembly. The valve disc is rotatable around the longitudinal axis with respect to the valve seat from the first angular position to a second angular position, wherein the valve seat and the valve disc mechanically interact to seal the orifice in the second angular position.

In an electromagnetic fuel injection valve, a plurality of recess parts are provided in an attracted face of a movable core, the recess parts dividing a taper face of the movable core into a plurality of sections along a peripheral direction of the movable core. Accordingly, a fuel oil film present in an engaged part between an annular projection of a fixed core and the taper face is sectioned at a plurality of locations, thereby suppressing a sticking phenomenon of the engaged part caused by the fuel oil film. Therefore, when energization of a coil is cut off, a delay in detachment of the movable core from the fixed core is eliminated, thus contributing to improvement of valve-closing responsiveness.

The invention relates to a fuel injection valve comprising a housing (1) in which pressure is applied to a nozzle needle (8), in a control chamber (28), at least indirectly with a closing force in the direction of a valve seat (10). The pressure in the control chamber (28) can be adjusted using a control valve (40) as said control chamber (28) is able to be connected to a low pressure chamber (46) via an outlet restrictor (31) and be filled with fuel at high pressure via an inlet restrictor (30). A longitudinally-displaceable control piston (29) is arranged in the control chamber (28) and divides said chamber (28) into a first control sub-chamber and a second control sub-chamber (228), the first control sub-chamber (128) being able to be connected to the low pressure chamber (46) by means of said outlet restrictor (31). A sealing surface (38) is formed on the control piston (29) and interacts with a sealing seat (39) in the control chamber (28) such that the inlet restrictor (30) is hydraulically disconnected from the second control sub-chamber (228) when the sealing surface (38) comes to rest against the sealing seat (39). Said first control sub-chamber (128) and second control sub-chamber (228) are constantly hydraulically interconnected by means of a restrictor connection (34).

A valve assembly for a pump includes an electrical actuator having a stator and an armature. The stator includes an annular outer stator portion and an annular inner stator portion, and an annular channel formed radially between the outer stator portion and the inner stator portion. A first radial channel extending through the annular outer stator portion between an outer surface of the outer stator portion and the annular channel, and at least one second opening in the annular outer stator portion results in magnetic symmetry of the stator . Upon activating the electrical actuator, the attraction of the armature towards the stator is uniform thus displacing fluid between the stator and armature in a uniform manner and to avoid high velocity, potentially damaging fluid flow.

A fuel pressure regulator includes a housing defining a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet; a valve seat located between the fuel inlet and the fuel outlet, the valve seat being centered about a valve seat axis; a valve member centered about a valve member axis, the valve member being moveable between 1) a closed position where the valve member engages the valve seat to prevent fuel flow from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlet and 2) an open position where the valve member is disengaged from the valve seat to permit fuel flow from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlet; and a grounding member grounded to the housing which engages the valve member to cause the valve member axis to tip relative to the valve seat axis when the valve member moves from the closed position to the open position.

A fuel injection valve includes: a circular plate portion that is abuttable against an end surface of a needle opposite from a valve seat while the needle being provided to open and close an injection hole upon lifting and seating of the needle relative to the valve seat; and a tubular portion that extends from the circular plate portion toward the valve seat and has an end part, which is opposite from the circular plate portion and is abuttable against a movable core second contact surface of a movable core opposite from the valve seat. In a state where the circular plate portion abuts against the needle, and the tubular portion abuts against the movable core, a gap is formed between a flange member end surface of a flange of the needle and a movable core first contact surface of the movable core opposite from the valve seat.
