High-pressure fuel supply pump
There is provided a discharge valve mechanism provided at an outlet of a pressurizing chamber of a high-pressure fuel supply pump that aims to reduce a backflow amount of fuel from a discharge valve and to prevent cavitation erosion. There are provided a discharge valve disposed on a discharge side of a pressurizing chamber, a discharge valve seat that closes a discharge side flow passage of the pressurizing chamber by seating the discharge valve, and a discharge valve spring that presses the discharge valve toward the discharge valve seat. It is configured such that, in a case where a minimum seat diameter of a seat portion in which the discharge valve is seated on the discharge valve seat is set to D and a spring force of the discharge valve spring at a time of setting is set to F, a coefficient K obtained by dividing the spring force F by the minimum seat diameter D is set to be 0.2 or more.
1. A high-pressure fuel supply pump, comprising:
a discharge valve disposed on a discharge side of a pressurizing chamber;
a discharge valve seat that closes a discharge side flow passage of the pressurizing chamber by seating the discharge valve; and
a discharge valve spring that presses the discharge valve toward the discharge valve seat, wherein
in a case where a minimum seat diameter of a seat portion in which the discharge valve is seated on the discharge valve seat is given by a variable D and a spring force of the discharge valve spring at a time of setting is given by a variable F, a coefficient K obtained by dividing the variable F by the variable D is set to be 0.2 or more.
2. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein
at least a portion of the discharge valve seat is disposed on a pressurizing chamber side relative to the discharge valve, and
the discharge valve spring presses the discharge valve toward the pressurizing chamber side.
3. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a discharge valve housing disposed on an outer peripheral side of the discharge valve, wherein
the discharge valve housing holds the discharge valve spring on a side opposite to the discharge valve seat relative to the discharge valve.
4. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein
the coefficient K is determined such that a fuel pressure generated on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber becomes a value equal to or more than a saturated vapor pressure of fuel after the discharge valve is closed.
5. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein
the discharge valve spring has a nitrided layer on its surface.
6. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein
the spring force of the discharge valve spring is made smaller than a spring force of a suction valve biasing spring that presses a suction valve for sucking fuel in a direction opposite to the pressurizing chamber.
