Abstract

To reduce collision noise created by the operation of an electromagnetic suction valve provided on a high pressure fuel supply pump. In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the mass of a member which collides by magnetic attractive force is reduced to reduce the noise to be generated. The thus configured present invention provides the following advantageous effects. 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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A high pressure fuel supply pump having a variable flow rate which comprises: a suction path which sucks fuel into a compression chamber; and a discharge path which discharges the fuel from the compression chamber, wherein a plunger which reciprocates in the compression chamber sucks and discharges the fuel, and the high pressure fuel supply pump comprises: an electromagnetic suction valve in the suction path; and a discharge valve in the discharge path, wherein an amount of the discharged fuel is controlled by opening and closing the electromagnetic suction valve to change whether the suction path and the compression chamber are communicated or not communicated with each other, the electromagnetic suction valve comprises: an intake valve; a moving element which moves in a valve-closing direction by magnetic attractive force, wherein the moving element comprises: an anchor part which stops moving by colliding with a fixed core; and a rod part which continues to move even after the anchor part stops moving, wherein magnetic attractive force is generated in the anchor part by supplying current to the electromagnetic suction valve, and the rod part stops moving by a biasing force of a spring after the anchor part stops moving,
wherein a first clearance between the anchor part and the fixed core is larger than a second clearance between the intake valve and an intake valve seat when the electromagnetic suction valve is opened.

2. The high pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the rod part is inserted in a sliding hole of the anchor part, and the rod part and the anchor part are slidably held on each other.

3. The high pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 2 , wherein the rod part has a stopper part, wherein when the anchor part performs a valve-closing motion by magnetic attractive force, the rod part performs the valve-closing motion together with the anchor part, with the stopper part being engaged with the anchor part.

4. The high pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 2 , wherein the moving element is loaded with a biasing force in a valve-opening direction by the spring.

5. The high pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 4 , wherein the biasing force by the spring is loaded on the rod part.

6. The high pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein a first clearance between the anchor part and the fixed core is larger than a stroke of the intake valve.

7. The high pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor part collides the fixed core after the intake valve collides the intake valve seat when the electromagnetic suction valve is supplied with current.
