  • Patent number: 9951770
    Abstract: A valve seat has an inner passage and outer passages. A suction valve member has first passages and a first projection portion that guides, to the first passages, the fuel that flows from a pressure chamber at the time of valve opening. Therefore, an action force by the dynamic pressure applied to the suction valve member in the valve closing direction is reduced. An action force by the pressure of fuel that flows into pressure equalization grooves counterbalances the action force by the dynamic pressure of the suction valve member. Therefore, self-closing by the dynamic pressure can be inhibited, and the maximum output of an electromagnetic driving unit can be reduced. Fuel flows through a passage radially outside the suction valve member and the first passages. A fluid passage area is securable even when a lift amount of the suction valve member is small.

  • Publication number: 20180087481
    Abstract: A valve member includes a specific range in which an overlap area that is an area in which a hole opening and a slide outer wall are overlapped with each other becomes gradually smaller and a minimum passage area that is a passage area between an intermediate chamber and a first hole being minimum becomes gradually larger as the valve member is moved in a direction away from a valve seat portion in a movable range in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9803635
    Abstract: A valve seat member, which partitions between a supply passage and a pressurizing chamber, includes an inner flow path, which communicates between the supply passage and the pressurizing chamber, and an outer flow path, which is placed on a radially outer side of the inner flow path. An inner valve is seatable against an inner valve seat formed in an opening of the inner flow path. An outer valve is contactable with an end surface of the inner valve, which is opposite from the inner valve seat. The outer valve is seatable against an outer valve seat, which is formed in an opening of the outer flow path.

  • Patent number: 9546653
    Abstract: An electromagnetic body has a movable core reciprocatably movable within a movable core chamber. The movable core has through holes and a fitting hole that pass through the movable core in a direction of movement of the movable core. A stator core facing the movable core defines the movable core chamber together with the electromagnetic body. A valve stem is fixed into the fitting hole and has a fluid chamber recessed from a first end surface facing the stator core. Air bubbles generated in a gap can be guided into the fluid chamber and collapse by flow of the fuel flowing into the fluid chamber from the through holes through the gap.

  • Publication number: 20170002779
    Abstract: A high pressure pump includes a pressurization portion, a discharge portion, a body portion, a valve member, an urging member, valve hold member and a limiting portion. The body portion includes a relief passage, an inlet, a valve seat, and an outlet. The valve member includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion. The small diameter portion is located between the valve seat and the large diameter portion and has an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the large diameter portion. The valve hold member surrounding and holding the large diameter portion. The limiting portion capable of limiting a motion of the valve hold member in a separation direction. According to this, a pressure in a fuel rail from extraordinarily increasing again after the relief valve is opened once.

  • Publication number: 20160369791
    Abstract: A high pressure pump includes a pressurization portion, a discharge portion, a body portion, a valve member, a holding member, and an urging member. The body portion includes a relief passage defining portion, an inlet defining portion, a valve seat, and an outlet defining portion. An outlet of the body portion is located apart in a separation direction from an inlet of the body portion. The valve member includes an outer wall surface closing the outlet of the body portion. When the valve member contacts the valve seat, a first distance between an edge portion of the outer wall surface of the valve member facing in a contact direction and an edge portion of the outlet defining portion facing in the contact direction is larger than a second distance between the valve member and the holding member.
