High-pressure fuel supply pump having electromagnetically-driven intake valve
View Patent ↗Responsiveness is improved in valve opening and valve closing of an electromagnetically driven intake valve unit in which a valve is provided on a pressurizing chamber side of a valve seat. The valve includes an annular abutting surface that abuts the valve seat to shut off a fuel intake passage and a bottomed cylindrical part provided at an inner peripheral part of the annular abutting surface. The bottomed cylindrical part is inserted into a fuel introduction hole formed in the valve housing inside the valve seat, and the outer surface of an end part of the bottomed cylindrical part is exposed to fuel in a low pressure fuel chamber provided upstream of the fuel introduction hole.
1. A fuel pump comprising:
a pump housing in which a pressurizing chamber is provided;
a piston plunger reciprocating within the pressurizing chamber;
an intake valve provided at an inlet of the pressurizing chamber;
a valve seat opposing one surface of the intake valve;
a valve stopper having a surface opposing an other surface of the intake valve, wherein
a first region of the valve stopper that extends radially outward a first distance is interposed between second regions of the valve stopper that extend radially outward a second distance, the second distance being longer than the first distance, so that fuel passages are formed on an outer peripheral side of the surface of the valve stopper,
a plurality of press-fitting surfaces are formed at an outer peripheral surface of the valve stopper, and
the fuel passages are formed between the plurality of press-fitting surfaces.
2. The fuel pump according to claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral surface of the valve stopper is press-fitted into a valve housing.
3. The fuel pump according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of press-fitting surfaces are press-fitted into a valve housing.
4. The fuel pump according to claim 1 , wherein an outer peripheral surface diameter of the intake valve is smaller than an outer peripheral side diameter of the first region of the valve stopper.
5. The fuel pump according to claim 1 , wherein
a protrusion is formed between the surface of the valve stopper and the other surface of the intake valve, and
when the intake valve is fully opened, a clearance is formed on an outer peripheral side of the protrusion.
6. The fuel pump according to claim 5 , wherein the clearance is formed between the surface of the valve stopper and the other surface of the intake valve.
7. The fuel pump according to claim 5 , wherein the clearance is formed annularly between the surface of the valve stopper and the other surface of the intake valve.
8. A fuel pump comprising:
an intake valve provided at an inlet of a pressurizing chamber;
a valve seat opposing one surface of the intake valve;
a valve stopper having a surface opposing an other surface of the intake valve;
a valve housing disposed outside the valve stopper, wherein
an outer peripheral surface of the valve stopper is press-fitted into the valve housing,
a first region of the valve stopper that extends radially outward a first distance is interposed between second regions of the valve stopper that extend radially outward a second distance, the second distance being longer than the first distance, so that fuel passages are formed on an outer peripheral side of the surface of the valve stopper,
a plurality of press-fitting surfaces are formed at an outer peripheral surface of the valve stopper, and
the fuel passages are formed between the plurality of press-fitting surfaces.
9. The fuel pump according to claim 8 , wherein
a protrusion is formed between the surface of the valve stopper and the other surface of the intake valve, and
when the intake valve is fully opened, a clearance is formed on an outer peripheral side of the protrusion.
10. The fuel pump according to claim 9 , wherein the clearance is formed between the surface of the valve stopper and the other surface of the intake valve.
11. The fuel pump according to claim 9 , wherein the clearance is formed annularly between the surface of the valve stopper and the other surface of the intake valve.
