Publication number: 20080056914Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply pump having a fuel relief path for connecting a high-pressure fuel path downstream of a discharge valve for discharging fuel pressurized in a pressurizing chamber to a low-pressure fuel path upstream of an inlet valve or the pressurizing chamber, a check valve being provided in the fuel relief path as a relief valve for allowing the fuel to flow only to the low-pressure fuel path or the pressurizing chamber, wherein an energy attenuating mechanism is provided in a discharge path on a side facing the discharge valve upstream of the relief valve in the fuel relief path so as to prevent an instantaneous pressure rise caused in the discharge path from propagating to the relief valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2007Publication date: March 6, 2008Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi USUI, Hiroyuki Yamada, Kenichiro Tokuo, Minoru Hashida, Takefumi Yamamura, Tohru Himoto, Sunao Takahashi

Patent number: 6488478Abstract: An axial plunger pump which does not need bellows by restricting fuel to a cylinder bore configuring a pump portion and by lubricating the other portion with oil. The high pressure fuel pump includes a plunger reciprocating according to a shaking movement of a swash plate, a cylinder block forming a pump chamber together with the plunger, and a sealing member provided between the plunger and a cylinder bore for sealing oil leaked from the pump chamber to a chamber surrounding the pump chamber, wherein oil in the oil chamber is supplied from the outside of the high pressure fuel pump.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2002Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinobu Ono, Yukio Takahashi, Hideki Machimura, Minoru Hashida, Masayoshi Kotaki, Takefumi Yamamura

Patent number: 6368071Abstract: An axial plunger pump includes a shaft having a swash plate effecting swing motion and transmitting driving force from the outside, plungers reciprocate by the swing motion of the swash plate. A cylinder block has cylinders formed so as to open on the side of the swash plate, with the plungers inserted therein. Passages in the block supply refuel to the cylinders. A body combined with the cylinder block encloses the swash plate. Sealing members are arranged between the plungers and the cylinders on the swash plate side of the passages formed in the cylinder block for sealing gaps between the plungers and the cylinders, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1999Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Minoru Hashida, Yukio Takahashi, Yoshinobu Ono, Hideki Machimura, Takefumi Yamamura, Masayoshi Kotaki
