Abstract

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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising:
a suction valve provided on a suction side of a pressurizing chamber;
an engagement member having a protrusion part which protrudes toward an outer periphery side and biases the suction valve by use of force of a spring;
a stator which generates magnetic attraction force; and
a movable element which is sucked by the magnetic attraction force and drives the engagement member toward the stator by being engaged with the protrusion part,
wherein flow passage area between an outer periphery part of the protrusion part and an inner periphery part of the movable element is formed smallest in a region from the spring space to a fuel path formed in the movable element, and
the protrusion part is further formed with a tapered section which broadens flow passage area, and the tapered section is included in outer periphery part of the protrusion part and has an outer diameter reduced toward the fuel path from a portion having the smallest flow passage area in a region with the inner periphery part.

2. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fuel path is formed with a fuel path in which fuel in the spring space where the spring is disposed is made to flow into the pressurizing chamber in a case where the movable elements is moved toward the stator.

3. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the tapered section is formed such that the outer diameter is gradually reduced toward the fuel path so as to broaden the flow passage area.

4. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the protrusion part is engaged with the movable element more on an inner periphery side than the fuel path of the movable element.

5. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 4 ,
wherein the tapered section is formed such that an end part of the tapered section on the side of the fuel path is located at a position corresponding to an innermost periphery side of the fuel path.

6. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement member has a cylindrical part having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the protrusion part and extending toward the spring side, and
the cylindrical part is formed such that an end part of the cylindrical part is located at a position corresponding to an end surface of the stator facing the movable element.

7. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement member has a cylindrical part having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the protrusion part and extending toward the spring side, and
the protrusion part and the cylindrical part are disposed on an inner periphery side of a recessed part formed in the movable element, and the cylindrical part is formed such that an end part of the cylindrical part is located at a position corresponding to an end surface of the stator facing the movable element.

8. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement member has a cylindrical part having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the protrusion part and extending toward the spring, and
the protrusion part and the cylindrical part are disposed on an inner periphery side of a recessed part formed in the movable element, and the spring is held by being wounded around the cylindrical part on the inner periphery side of the recessed part.

9. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 8 ,
wherein the spring is wound around the cylindrical part 1.5 turns or more.

10. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement member has a cylindrical part having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the protrusion part and extending toward the spring side,
the fuel path of the movable element is formed in a manner overlapping with an inner periphery surface of the recessed part formed in the stator in the movement direction of the movable element, and
the outer periphery part of the cylindrical part is located more on the inner periphery side than the innermost periphery side of the fuel path.

11. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement member has a cylindrical part having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the protrusion part and extending toward the spring side, and
the flow passage area between the outer periphery part of the protrusion part and the inner periphery part of the movable element is smaller than a fuel flow passage between the cylindrical part and the stator.
