Abstract: A small-sized and simple sliding portion structure for suppressing the deformation of a sliding portion caused by discharge pressure and the external force in fixing, and a pump for supplying high-pressure fuel having the sliding portion structure mounted thereon is provided. A plunger type pump for supplying high-pressure fuel including a cylinder which forms a sliding portion, a plunger which is slidably provided in the cylinder and reciprocates with the rotation of a cam, and a holder member which urges the cylinder against a body, has a configuration in which the cylinder is provided with a holding unit separately from the sliding portion, the holding unit is urged in the direction of the body with an urging force in the axial direction of the sliding portion to form a high-pressure sealing portion, and the cylinder has the sliding portion with the plunger on the low-pressure side than the high-pressure sealing portion.

Abstract: High-response and high-power electromagnetically driven flow rate control valve with flange portion forming an attracting surface on an anchor, a first peripheral surface portion having a diameter smaller than the flange portion, and a cylindrical non-magnetic area opposing an outer peripheral surface of the flange portion with a third clearance interposed therebetween are provided, and a first fluid trap portion communicating with the back pressure chamber via the third clearance is provided. When the diameter of the flange portion is enlarged in order to enlarge the cross-sectional area of the attracting surface, fuel that is displaced by the anchor is increased, but is partly absorbed in the first fluid trap portion, so that the fuel passing through the fuel channel does not increase in comparison with fuel before the diameter of the flange portion is enlarged. Accordingly, the cross-sectional area of the attracting surface may be enlarged.

Abstract: In a high pressure fuel supply pump for transmitting rotation of a cam to a reciprocating plunger via a tappet and a retainer, a diametric force acting on the plunger is reduced. The pump includes the retainer disposed on the plunger and a return spring exerting an urging force on the retainer in a direction of the tappet. A clearance between a plunger leading end and a tappet bottom surface opposed thereto is set to be greater than a clearance between a retainer bottom surface and the tappet bottom surface opposed thereto, and a clearance between a retainer inside diameter section and a plunger peripheral surface section opposed thereto is set to be greater than a clearance between a retainer outside diameter section and a tappet inner wall opposed thereto.

Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply pump includes a discharge valve, which is a non-return valve between a pressurizing chamber and a discharge port. The discharge valve includes a valve body housing, a discharge valve spring, a valve body and a seat member. The discharge valve is a flat valve. When the valve is opened, a flow of fuel moving from the pressurizing chamber and axially colliding with the valve body is radially distributed in the radial direction of the valve body to become a flow directly moving the discharge ports and a flow colliding with an inner wall of the valve body housing before moving toward the discharge ports and then in a circumferential direction of the valve body.

Abstract: In an electromagnetically controlled inlet valve actuator provided to a high pressure fuel pump, an impinging sound which is generated at the time of operating the mechanism is reduced. In a high pressure fuel pump provided with an electromagnetically controlled inlet valve (operated by way of a plunger rod), a current supply period includes a 1st current supply period for performing an operation of attracting the plunger rod in a valve closing direction, a 2nd current supply period for alleviating a speed at which the plunger rod moves in a valve opening direction, and a limited current supply period disposed between the 1st current supply period and the 2nd current supply period in the form of spanning a pump top dead center.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce the pressure loss in a relief valve employed for a high-pressure liquid supply pump. Disclosed is a high-pressure liquid supply pump for pressurizing a liquid and supplying the pressurized liquid from a low-pressure side to a high-pressure side. The pump includes a relief path which releases the pressurized liquid from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side, and a relief valve which is positioned in the relief path and equipped with an intermediate chamber, a valve seat positioned toward the high-pressure side of the intermediate chamber, a ball valve that is attachable to and detachable from the valve seat, and a ball valve retainer for pressing the ball valve against the valve seat. The relief path is configured so that an inflow path to the intermediate chamber and an outflow path from the intermediate chamber both produce a restriction effect.

Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply pump mounted with a discharge valve that can reduce an influence of noise caused by a valve body-circumferential flow and a discharge valve unit used therein. The high-pressure fuel supply pump includes a discharge valve (8) which is a non-return valve between a pressurizing chamber (11) and a discharge port (13). The discharge valve (8) includes a valve body housing (8d), a discharge valve spring (8c), a valve body (8b) and a seat member (8a). The discharge valve (8) is a flat valve. When the valve is opened, a flow of fuel moving from the pressurizing chamber and axially colliding with the valve body is radially distributed in the radial direction of the valve body to become a flow directly moving the discharge ports and a flow colliding with an inner wall of the valve body housing before moving toward the discharge ports and then in a circumferential direction of the valve body.
