Patent number: 10683835Abstract: A fuel pump includes an electromagnetically driven intake valve mechanism, a pump housing, a discharge valve, an opening, a seal member, and a first relief passage. The relief valve mechanism has a relief valve, a relief valve seat contacting the relief valve when the relief valve is closed and a relief spring biasing the relief valve against the relief valve seat. A second relief passage, communicating the first relief passage and a hole formed in the relief seat, is formed between the seal member and the relief valve seat. The relief valve seat, the relief valve, and the relief spring are arranged in this order beginning from the open end side.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yuta Saso, Atsuji Saito, Satoshi Usui, Shingo Tamura, Moritsugu Akiyama, Hiroyuki Yamada, Atsushi Hohkita

Patent number: 10371109Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply pump in which a relief valve mechanism is not detached by a force generated by a differential pressure between an inlet side and an output side of a relief valve mechanism is obtained. According to the present invention, in order to obtain the high-pressure fuel supply pump, the relief valve mechanism of the high-pressure fuel supply pump is oriented from a downstream side of a discharge valve to an upstream side of the discharge valve, and the output side of the relief valve mechanism is inserted from the upstream side of the discharge valve into the pump housing, and the relief valve mechanism is fixed with press fitting. Therefore, a force exerted by the differential pressure between the inlet side pressure and the output side pressure of the relief valve mechanism is exerted in a direction in which the relief valve mechanism is inserted, so that the relief valve mechanism can be prevented from being detached.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yuta Saso, Atsuji Saito, Satoshi Usui, Shingo Tamura, Moritsugu Akiyama, Hiroyuki Yamada, Atsushi Hohkita

Patent number: 10253741Abstract: An object is to suppress cavitation generated at a distal end portion of a seat face when a valve body and a seat portion collide with each other. In a relief valve of a fuel pump, an intersection between the seat face and a flow channel hole is formed at a position more distant than the seat portion formed of the valve body in a valve closing state and the seat face in order to suppress generation of cavitation bubbles when the valve body improves and releases high-pressure fuel.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, LtdInventors: Moritsugu Akiyama, Shigehiko Omata, Katsutoshi Kobayashi, Kenichiro Tokuo

Publication number: 20170356412Abstract: Provided is a solution to a problem on a discharge valve mechanism disposed at an exit of a pressurizing chamber of a high-pressure fuel supply pump, that is, an occurrence of a backward flow of the fuel concentrates on a limited fuel passage, leading to a higher fuel flow rate, and this easily induces the occurrence of cavitation, and collapse of the generated cavitation might damage a seat surface, making it difficult to maintain valve functions. The present invention provides a valve mechanism including a seat member having a seat section, a valve body configured to attach to or detached from the seat section, and a housing member arranged on an outer peripheral side of the seat member. A first fluid flow-path is formed to connect an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side of the seat section in a case where the valve is detached from the seat section.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2016Publication date: December 14, 2017Applicant: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Moritsugu AKIYAMA, Shigehiko OMATA, Shigenori TAHARA, Katsutoshi KOBAYASHI, Kenichirou TOKUO
