Patent number: 10718296Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply pump including an electromagnetically driven intake valve is configured such that a pressure equalizing hole is provided in the valve stopper positioned between the valve and a pressurizing chamber. The pressure equalization hole connects a spring storage space, provided between a valve and a valve stopper, with a surrounding fluid passage. The high-pressure fuel supply pump is further configured such that an opening of the pressure equalizing hole at the spring storage chamber side is open at a position at the inner side of a diameter of the spring. Since the pressure in the pressurizing chamber can be introduced into the inner side of the spring without traversing the spring, the unstable behavior of the spring or the valve due to the introduced pressure eliminated. Since the force applied to the valve when the valve closes is stabilized, the closing timing of the valve is stable.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Masahiko Hayatani, Satoshi Usui, Hideki Machimura, Tatsuo Kawano, Syunsuke Aritomi, Shingo Tamura
