  • Patent number: 10240589
    Abstract: A plunger electric fuel pump includes a cylinder; a plunger; a pump body; a movable element to which the plunger is connected; a fixed core provided so as to face the movable element; a rotational core including a permanent magnet; an electric motor configured to rotate the rotational core; and a spring configured to urge the movable element in a direction away from the pump body. The rotational core and the fixed core are provided with a switching portion configured to switch between a first state and a second state when a rotational phase of the rotational core is changed, the first state being a state where the magnetic force of the permanent magnet is not applied to the movable element, the second state being a state where the magnetic force of the permanent magnet is applied to the movable element.

  • Patent number: 10066613
    Abstract: A fuel pump includes a plunger that reciprocates in a cylinder. The fuel pump further includes a first mover connected to the plunger, a second mover serving as a counterweight for the first mover, an electromagnet provided between the first mover and the second mover, a first magnetic member provided between the first mover and the second mover, and a first spring urging the first mover and the second mover away from each other. Further, a second magnetic member is provided between both of the electromagnet and the first magnetic member and a first inclined surface of the first mover, while a third magnetic member is provided between both of the electromagnet and the first magnetic member and a second inclined surface of the second mover.
